Commercial Travellers Sound Money
League Gets Into the Campaign.
After four years Of inactivity in the
work for which it was organized, the
Commercial Travellers Sound Money
League is about to begin a campaign
'for the election Of Taft and Sherman
and the continuance Of prosperity"
The vice presidential nominee, James
s. Sherman, has written to the commit
tee that it will afford him great pleas
ure to accept their invitation t. speak
at the first meeting Of the league in
the 1908 campaign.
Col. John l.. Shepherd, chairman Of
the executive committee Of the Jewel
ers' Association, is president Of the
league. Other prominent members are /:

BRYAN'S INCONSISTENCIES.
Democratic Candidates Shifting
Ideas About How the People Shall

Ideas About How the People Shall
Rule.
From the Boston speech Of Senator
Borah.)
Shall the people ruler" Mr.. Bryan
has stated time and again that the
most effective way by which the people
could rule would be under the princi-
pie Of initiative and referendum-but
he has abandoned it. He has said that
either the people or the railroads must
rule, and that the only way the people
could rule was by owning the railroads
but he has abandoned this PROPOSE
ton.
"He has said that the people must
have the power to make the courts
more amenable to popular demand, and
that, in order that the people might
rule, they must elect their judges-but
he has abandoned the proposition. The
tribune Of the people has left the TO
rum, gone from the presence Of those
whom he had taught certain doctrines,
and taught that these doctrines were
essential to their liberties and to their
welfare. He has submitted to be
bound not to recur to his old teach
ings.
Isl it all a question Of expediency
or is 1t a confession, astounding con-
fession, Of an inability to grasp the
great questions and to deal with the
great problems which in deed and in
truth do involve the prosperity and the
liberty of a free people? Are stability
of mind, safe and sound craftsmanship
essential qualities for a President? And
am l unfair and unjust to Mr.. Bryan
when 1 say that his positions so quick
ly taken, so earnestly urged, so open
ly abandoned, so confessedly wrong, are
discouraging to every one as to his
usefulness in the futuSe?"

DISCARDED ISSUES-FREE SILL
YER.
If Bryan Was Mistaken on Silver
Are His Conclusions Any Safer

IL bryan was mlSCdheu Oh SllNel
Are His Conclusions Any Safer
NowP
or all the medicines Mr.. Bryan has
offered the country. the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver was the most
widely and effectively advertised. The
people were told that there could be no
return of prosperity without it. In
spite Of it's doctrine Of reputation, it
was offered as the only means Of relief
against perpetual hard times. In the
contest Of 1896 Mr.. Bryan staked his
political fortunes on this issue, and
lost in 1900 he insisted on a reafirma-
ton Of the issue, and lost again. This
year free silver has been omitted from
the Democratic platform, because in
the meantime the country has had its
period Of greatest prosperity. Time
and events have refuted all Mr.. Bryan's
arguments in favor of free coinage, and
free silverism is dead and buried, and
long grass waves over it's resting place.
Mr.. Bryan has said that a man
worthy to lead a great cause should be
willing to die for ii. In 1900 Mr.. Bryan
said that If anyone said he had changed
his mind about free silver he was a
falsifer. Yet Mr.. Bryan made the
platform Of this year, and that plat
form has omitted mention of free sill
YER; and Mr.. Bryan says that a candi-
date is bound by what the platform
Omlts as well as by what it contains.
Therefore, Mr.. Bryan has either dis
carded free silver as a belief, or he has
omitted 1t this year as a matter of po-
litical expediency, still believing in the
doctrine. If he still believes in free
silver, it is obvious that he no longer
thinks it necessary to die for it. II he
does not believe in 1t, then he has been
convinced that he made %stupendous
mistakes in 1896 and 1900, when be
forced the issue on his party.
A leader may be stronger than his
party he may offer a better standard
Of government than the party platform
on which he is running but no leader
can d%isentangle himself from the wreck
age Of issues which he has temporarily
gloriied as vote-getting expedients.-

Future Political Events.
When Mr.. Bryan was notified in 1910

alton of department stores In 1920
he demanded the defeat of the Repub-
leans because Of the miserable way in
which they had enforced the smoke or
finance. But in 1924, when Il great
'oncourse had gathered in front OF
Fairview, Mr.. Bryan tottered out upon
he porch and said: Fellow citizens,

afford to take the time from my lecture
engagements to III for President. The

cross the street to hear me at q dollar

the first time in my lecturing career. 1t
is up to you, neighbors and fellow citi-
zens, to elect me this time, ! hereby
renew my pledges of 1900, 1905, 1912,
1916 and 1920 not to be a candidate
for a second term" With a mighty
cheer for the Peerless One the meeting
broke up.

Of the Measure which has come to DO
one Of Importance With American peo-
pie, second only to independence itself.
Cleveland said that rural free delivery
was an impracticable scheme by reason
of the vast expense that would be iu-
volved Thus a Democratic Postmaster
General, a Democratic chairman of the
Committee on the Postoffice and Post
Roads, and a Democratic President all
united in agreeing that the establish
ment Of rural free delivery was an i'm
practicable proposition and absolutely
beyond them, in its capacity for future
usefulness to the majority Of the Amer
lean people.
Blessings OF Rural Delivery.
The existence and growth Of rural
free delivery are the best evidences in
recent years, that this is a government
of the people and for the people. Some
near-statesman of the Democratic par
ty has called the service a luxury. 1t
is more than a luxury. 1t is now a
necessity. SO eagerly has it been sought
after in all portions of this country
and SO thoroughly appreciated wher-
ever it has been bestowed, that it has
come to be regarded as Il necessity by
the millions who enjoy it.
Forty years ago every one went or
sent to the postOfiice for his mail, and
the farmer in the busy season when his
l,,rr,, and t,n,,c MON, Ny,rl-ipu I'm tho
field, could only receive mail for him
self and family possibly once a week
on Saturday afternoon. Now it is not
only delivered several times each day
at the homes and places Of business
Of the residents of more than a thou
sand cities, but those millions OF sturdy
farmers, ranchmen and agriCulturiSts
who form the backbone OF the republic
receive their mails almost daily.
Increases Value of Land.
Increased facilities always bring In
creased use and enjoyment. More let
ters are written and received; more
papers and magazines subscribed toc.
Testimony from all over the country
shows that by reason of rural free de-
livery the actual value Of our farm
lands has been increased. Many farm
ers state that they would not dispense
with the service for 500 per unuum.
1t has been estimated that the value
II farm lands has risen by this means
is much as five dollars per acre in sew
raj States. A moderate estimate Of
The increased value OF lands through
out the country on account of the adop-
ton Of rural free delivery would be
rom 81 to So per acre.

CAREFUL ABOUT PROMISES. .
Taft Weighs His Words While Bryan
Is Careless.

One Of the most important things to
be emphasized at this stage OF the
campaign has been admirably phrascd
in Mr.. Roosevelt's letter to Conrad
Kohrs. Mr.. Taft Is careful to promise
only what he is confident upon reason
able grounds that he can accomplish.
Perhaps this is the chief reason why
Mr.. Taft is dubbed a poor politician
and is a poor politician from every
standpoint save that Of courageous.
self-forgetting public service.
But 1t is well for Mr.. Roosevelt to
emphasize this truth, since some men
are likely thoughtlessly to interpret
Mr.. Taft's scrupulous care I'm state
ment and his honorable care for the
relation Of promise and possible per-
Torrance as want Of zeal for reform.
1t is especially necessary In this cam
paign against a man whose emotions,
however creditable they may be In
themselves, and whose innate tendency
20 rhetorical emphasis are constantly
driving him into broad and easy and
over-liberal promises.
Mr.. Bryan is above all things n cam
paigner, and his public utterances
never have been characterized by
statesmanly caution. He has been q
great promiser.

Notes.

We found this session the most
profitable and interesting since the
session at Hannibal some eighteen
years ago.
We had for Company +. Fl. Shep-
pard, OF the Eldon Advertiser. who
came over on the local freight We'd
ncsday morning, and we found him a
very pleasant companion.
f.. A. Crewson, who was up TO
Kansas City on business Wednesday,,
made it his business Thursday to
come over and help boost the Press
Club House proposition for Morgan
county. OF course he had a pleas
ant meeting with Gray, Gansz and
Southern and number more OF the
pencil pushers. Don't know if he
sold any OF them some Morgan Coun-
,y realty.
We had the pleasure of meeting
John n. Stroud. travelling passenger
agent for the Rock Island system,
who at the solicitation of II. A.
Young, OF our city. came over to see
ii he could be OF any assistance in
helping us land that Club house for
Morgan county, for the Rock Island
is interested in helping our citizens in
every way possible.
We also had the pleasure Of meet
ing "Uncle By" of the Western
Publisher, Chicago, the great ma, a
zine by which all publishers are en-
abled to look on the bride side of
their profession. We were consider
ably disappointed, for we expected
to meet man OF mature years. even
IT not mature otherwise, but he struck
us as barely across the .'swimmin'
hole" period, connecting link he
tween the barefoot boy and the gray
beard.

was decided success. "Tsar"
Reed, of blessed memory, or even
Uncle Joe, could not have welded
the gavel with more grace and dig
nifty, nor yet more emphatic when
necessary.
The committee on club house
made report of their several trips
over the state looking for location,
and asked for further time to view
other sections, for which their promise
was out, and further time was grant,
ed. We feel confident that after
they, like Noah's dove, travel until
tired out viewing the many magnifi.
cent places offered, will finally alight
on the Gravois, Morgan county, the
central location and the most beaut-
full spot in the state for the Mo. Press
Club House.
Excelsior Springs is proving to be
a very popular resort, for in addition
to its health-giving waters, it is GER
tainly quiet, restiul, pleasant place
to spend few days or weeks. 1t is
earning great reputation for taking
care of large gatherings, for after
everything and everybody is full-of
spring water--they can always find
room for the later arrivals. For want
of space we will have to postpone a
write-up OF the Springs until next
week.
