judges said the law meant no IN.
reasonable restraint of trade and
Secretary Taft is 80 far behind the
people in his understanding of the
trust question that he is in favor of
changing the law written II years
ago and making it weaker instead
of stronger. Insert that word "un-
reasonable" and you give the be-
neft OF the doubt to the trust in
stead OF being able to stop the
trust in restraint OF trade. You
must search the country over to
find that the restraint ia harmful.
He said at Denver that he did not
agree with me that all trusts should
be annihilated, but that only bad
trusts should be annihilated. There
is only one line to be drawn be.
tween good and bad trusts. A
good trust is liberal in an election
campaign and a bad trust is stingy.
That is the only difference there il.
He said ut Columbus that he
thought it would do good to put
one or two trust magnates in the
penitentiary. We have about 100
trusts, why stop at one or two per
cent. II these men violate the
laws why should they not be pun
ished. The Democratic party de-
nounces this policy of furnishing a
poor man who commits some minor
offense and refusing to punish the
rich man who violates the law.
The Republican party denounces
anarchy. l want to say there is
something that has made more
anarchists in the United States
than the speeches Of Herr Most or
Anna Goldman and that is the
failure OF the Republicans to pun.
ish rich violators of the law.
He said he was glad the presi.
dent had done something to punish
the trusts but he hadn't done very
much. every advance he has
taken, he has put his foot in the
track of Democrat" he said,
"and he has found it didn't fit"
and the audience howled its ap.
proval.
He advocated license system
for the trusts requiring all trusts
controlling % per cent Of any pro-
duct to take license and refusing
it to those controlling more than
so per cent.
The tariff question came next
for discussion. He said ~ years
ago he was told the tariff was going
to be revised by it's friends and he
has heard the same thing ever
since.
Speaking Of reforming the tariff
by it's friends he said an infant
might get 80 large as to be ashamed
to nurse and calf may get so big
as to wean itself, but no protected
industry ever let go the public teat
without being removed by main
force.
"When you find that all the
bankers OF the country have met
and have demanded that therate of
interest be reduced, then you may
expect the tariff to be revised, by
its friends" he declared, "and
then" he added, "you may expect
the millennium.

BRYAN'S SPEECH At STATE CAPITAL
Large Crowd Turns Out to Hear Talk of the
Great Statesman

Party lines were cast aside al
Boise last Thursday when Bryan
was guest of that city. Thousands
Of people turned out to hear the
great orator and the sound theories
he advocates. His speech was an
excellent one and pointed out to
the people many mistakes that have
been made in the past and also
showed up the folly Of pursuing a
future course as advised by the
present republican party. Wepro-
dnce parts of his speech which can
be profitably read by all good
citizens, regardless OF their political
opinions.
"HistOry shows no other vindica.
ton Of a political question in 50
short q time," be declared.
He took up the money question,
indicating how the Democratic
position had been sustained. "We
are today producing more gold"
he said, ethan we produced Of
both gold and silver in 1896, and
we could not have had the pros.
perity we have unless we had pro-
duced more money than the Re-
publicans thought necessary at
that time"
He then took up the methods by
which the Republicans won as
shown by recent revelations, as
for instance, in the insurance
scandals.
He said the banking interests
are even now asking for more
money, but they didn't want it on
silver worth 80 cents on the dollar,
but on assets worth nothing on the
dollar. Present prosperity is due
to more money and to good crops,
neither of which is due to the Re.
publicans. The only credit the
Republican can claim is of enabling
. few people to get more than their
share Of prosperity, and then he
took up the trust question, saying
in part.
'"There lie another question on
which we tried to focus public at
tention. The trust question and
what time we had getting people
to understand the trust question.
Why, ! can remember q few years
ago we heard the Republicans say
there was no trust question. Then
they said the trust was a good
thing. 1t had come to stay and
when they could not defend trusts
Is good they asked you to trust the
Republican party. They had what
was needed to correct the evil.
But today the people understand
the trust question as they did not
IL years or even seven years ago.
The only man who does not under
stand the trust question is Secretary
Taft. Alb, my friends, he is the
only man making speeches today
who has not caught up with where
the people were II years ago. In
his speech at Columbus he COM
planned that the present law says
there should be no restraint OF
trade and he thinks it ought to
be no unreasonable restraint OF
trade. That is the difference be-
tween the two halves of the sup

He turned to the labor question
and said he believed the platform
Of 1896 declaring for arbitration,
cost him more votes among the
capitalists than even the money
question. He thanked President
Roosevelt for what he has said
along that line ten years later. He
referred to the present telegraphic
strike as showing the necessity for
arbitration. He said it is q shame
and a disgrace that the nation
should require man to starve his
wife and family in order to get
justice. He said he knew nothing
more likely to bring peace between
labor and capital than boards of
arbitration.
He said Taft in Oklahoma a few

days ago made an elaborate argu-
ment in favor of government by in

message in opposition ~ it.
He touched on the railroad quef-
ton showing that the Republicans
had again gotten round to the
Democratic platform Of 1896.
II am glad we can furnish plat
form for Republican president to
get on when he wants to do any
thing toward REFORM" he said
amid great laughter.
He spoke of the railway rate bill
and the L.ces sity Of the presidents
going to q Democratic senator to
carry the measure through.
He said the present bill will not
solve the problem. 1t will be neses-
sary to find the true value of the
railways, stop watering stock and
require such rate az will pay q
just interest on the true value.
He spoke Of the income tax and
expressed his belief that he would
live to SEQ a constitutional amend
ment requiring such . tax.

Mr.. Bryan. "If we had used half
the money in irrigation in the west

Philippines in ten thousand years."
he said. 1--WE have one race ques-
ton in the south and another on
the Pacific coast and we cannot af-
ford to take another so many
thousand miles away" he con-
iinued.
On the Philippine policy of the
government he compared the atti-
tude of the Republicans to that
which he conjectured might follow
should the president walking be-
hind him pick up Mr.. Bryan's
pocketbook which he had dropped
He said the president might reason
that he couldn't turn the pocket
book back to its owner until he
found out how much money there
was in it. II he had too much he
couldn't turn it back because the
owner couldn't get along without
it. The president would finally
have to appoint . commission to
see whether it should be given up
by the commission, always taking
expenses out of the purse he had
found.
He complimented Senator La
Toilette as the most courageous Re-
publican reformer in the nation.
His reference to La Toilette brought
forth applause from the audience.
He touched upon nearly all the
questions before the public, dealing
with them in HE usual manner and
bringing applause at his telling
blows.
He exhorted the people to assist
in giving the Democrats an oppor-
tunity to carry into effect the re-
forms that they have been advocat-
ing so many years. At one time
he referred to the accusation of the
Republicans that he has appealed
to class prejudices, arrsying one
class against another. He defied
any Republican to point out in
any of the many speeches he has
made, single sentence that is
calculated to array one class against
another. He said that was not
his purpose but to advocate the
great Democratic doctrine of the
greatest good to the greatest
number and an abolition Of
of special privileges to any class.
He wanted to see all stand equal
under the law and all violators,
rich or poor to suffer punishment.

SAVED by CLEAN HANDS.
Thrilling Incident of the Days of the
Paris Commune.


Frederic Villiers' Peaceful Person
alties ana Warriors Bold" contains a
striking and somewhat bloody tale of
the terrible days of the Paris COM
mune. An unnamed Engllshman tells
the story of himself and Archibald
Forbes the great war correspondent:
"There was good deal of fighting in
the streets at the time, for the Yer
sailles troops We're pressing hard upon
the communists. One afternoon, in Il
street not far from where we were sit
ting, | was rounded up by party of
rebels and made to work erecting a
barricade, when l found another Eng
lishman pressed for the same business.
1t was Forbes, the war correspondent.
We chummed together ut our distaste-
ful work, which we were compelled to
do or risk being shot for spies.
Presently the barricade was attack
ed by the Versaillests, and the COM
munlsts, after a sharp fight, were driv-
en- helter skelter down the street.
Forbes and | ran with them. Presently
he shouted, Dive into that wineshop on
the leftr | Immediately did so, and
Forbes, catching hold of me, pushed
me through a shop to back yard,
where we found pump. Now said
he, wash your hands quickly and let
me have turn After our ablutlons
he hurried me back into the street.
That simple incident Of washing my
hands saved my life, and always re-
member it with gratitude.
1--WE had hardly gained the street be-
fore we were roughly arrested by the
victorious troops, who would not listen
to any explanation, and were hurried
along with many other prisoners till
we came to a blank wall, where halt
was made. About dozen of us were
made to stand in line with our backs
to the wall. Hands upr cried the Of
ficer in charge.
"The poor devils who had soiled
hands were told to remain. Forbes and
l were the only men who were allowed
to fall out, for our hands showed no
sign of barricade work or soil of pow
der upon them. Before we realized
what had happened the rest were rid

SOME BIG BITES.
They Show the Power of the Jaws of
the Crocodile,

They Show the Power of the Jaws OF
the Crocodile.
The power of the jaws Of the croco-
dile is terrific, says Sir Samuel Baker
in his book on wild beasts.
Once, he continues, he had the metal
Of large hook the thickness of ordina-
ry telegraph wire completely bent to-
gether, the barbed point being pressed
tightly against the shank and rendered
useless. This compression was caused
by the snap of the jaws when seizing
a live duck which he had used as a
bait, the hook being fastened beneath
one wing. On one occasion he found a
fish weighing seventy pounds bitten
clean through as If divided by a knife.
This, again, was the work of the snap
Of the jaws of crocodile.
A Frenchman, NJ. Paul Bert, once
made experiments on the strength of a
crocodile's jaws by means Of dyna-
mometer He found that a crocodile
weighing 120 pounds exerted force of
30S pounds in closing his jaws. The
lion has an enormous Jaw power On
one occasion an African traveller push
ed the butt end of his gun into lions
mouth, and the pressure of the jaws
cracked it as though it had been struck
by steam hammer.
