ED. HILOT:-
Some 'Old Timer has evidently
been asking the Record-Herald some
pertinent questions relevant to return
ing prosperity" as it says 'the Record
Herald is too busy taking advantage of
the returning prosperity to enter into
any controversy with Old Timer or
any other calamity howfer."
The R.-H. is an adept at some things,
and while it is not much on argu-
ment 1t certainly knows that there is
more than one way to crawl out of
mighty tight place. 1t is evidently en-
Joying prosperity, and knows how to
maintain prosperity in its own line of
business, and when the lumber bust
ness slumps to such an extent as to
effect the source of It's prosperity it
simply cuts the size OF its paper from
eight to six pages to help out the inter-
ests that are footing the bills of losing
venture.
| cannot help but admire the nerve
OF paper that will, day after day, print
such ridiculous arguments as the R.-H.
does, knowing as it certainly must that
1t can only deceive few of the willing
Barkis" stripe. AS an example of a
R.-H. argument: A few weeks since
1t had over column taking the
democratic party to task for recon-
mending that the tariff be taken off of
all articles controlled by trust as one
means of breaking up these combina-
tons, and it cited the Standard Oil
Co. as an example of the largest trust in
this country, and yet, it stated, its
products were on the free list. Now
do not know whether this statement
was from ignorance, or was simply a
known falsehood intended to deceive
those who could not, and would not
take the time to investigate the question.
l do not think it was the part of
ignorance, as [ am unable to believe
that it is so blind to the provisions of
the Dingley law as to think anything
of the kind, when it knows perfectly
well that the tariff on the Standard Oil
company's products is one of the larg-
est afforded by the Dingley law. l
am inclined to think it was republi-
can argument-when you have no facts
to prove your argument, make bluff
and laugh at the reply. like the "Old
Timer" got for an answer
| would like to ask the r H few
questions, not expecting to get any
better answer though than "Old Timer
did. l think the interests of commun-
ity, or country can be best subserved
by everyone giving vent to an express
sion of boost" But can you blame
the democrat that sometimes smiles at
the thought of panic during republi-
can administration, when that party
has always claimed credit for sunshine
and prosI 'ity, and whose past plat
form mot present. says "a democratic
tariff has always been followed by bust
ness adversely, republican tariff By
business prosperity"
Speaking of calamity howlers:
Was the editor of the Record Herald
a booster or calamity bowler" in
1889
Were the republican papers in general
boosters" or calamity howlers'' in
1882
Were the r. r. companies advertising
for 20, 600 men for Dakota wheat fields
in 1898 as they are todays while there
are ten men there now to one job
Did the Simmons Hardware Co. of
st. Louis organize 8 Prosperity Asso-
ciationn in 1882
Were tie Wall Street interests call

The People Do Rule.

Fairness compels the admission that
Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance is in
some important regards an agreeable
surprise.
Imprimis, it is not unconscionably
long nor verbose. In point of style, it
is clear cut, coherent and compact. In
toue, it is commercially temperate,
raj .onal and courteous. Mr.. Bryan's
opponent is referred to as ''the distin-
guished statesman" Mr.. Dryan's ac-
cess of dignity and courtesy will lose
him no votes.-Diilwaukee Sentinel.

THE reduction of the tariff, the
elimination of the trusts, the guarantee
ing of bank deposits and the election of
senators by direct vote of the people
are the four central facts and issues in
this campaign. You, MIR, Reader see,
understand and believe this, then
march right into the primary and vote
this way. Vote for democratic candi-
dates. That one single issue, the in
surance of bank deposits is, or ought to
be enough, in itself to command and
rivet the support of every voter. If
you don't know about this look it up.

Summer complaints and other serious
ailmenLs common in hot weather can
be traced to the stomach nine times out
of ten. Keep the stomach in good order
right now by keeping bottle Of Kodol

Kodol whenever you feel that you need
it. That is the only time you need to

JUDGE BROWN DENIES REPORT
ED CONFERENCE REGARDING
HIS WITHDRAWAL.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va. March %.
Judge t. A. Brown, United States
Commissioner in Bankruptcy, last
night vigorously denied that he had
participated in any such conference
which was reported to have advised
that Arnold c. scherr to withdraw
from the race for the Republican nom
inatfon for Governor. 1t was repre-
scented that ]. W. vandervort a Balti-
more and Ohio attorney, and Judge
Brown, in charge of scherr's candi-
dacy, had taken a pessimistic view OF
scherr's candidacy.
Judge Brown said: "The statement
concerning a conference is absolute
" untrue and without foundation. I
have not advised State Auditor scherr
to withdraw from the Gubernatorial
race nor have / discussed the subject
with him. There was no conference
held at my office. The report does Mr..
scherr great injustice. l have not
seen Mr.. vandervort in two weeks and
have not discussed any such thing
as reported with him IN any way"
