AS ROOSEVELT SEES BRYAN.

"You say that you have advo-
Gated more radical measures
against private monopolies than
either l or my party associates
have been willing to undertake.
You have, indeed, advocated
measures that sound more radi-
cal, but they have the prime de-
feet that in practice they would
not work. | should not In this
letter to you discuss your .tti-
tude on this question If you did
not yourself bring it up, but as
you have brought it up, I answer
you that in my judgment the
measures you advocate would be
wholly ineffective In curing a
single evil, and so far az they
had any effect at all, would mere
ly throw the entire business OF
the country into hopeless and ut
ter confusion. | put Nj. Taft's
deeds against your words. l ask
that you be judged both by the
words you wish remembered, and
by the words that seemingly you
and your party now desire to
have forgotten. hold IL
entirely natural for any great
law-defying corporation to wish
to see you placed in the Presi-
dency rather than Mr.. Tar. Vol:
plans to put a stop to the abuses
of these corporations are wholly
chlmerical. - Theodore Roose-
velt."

When Democrats Had Chance In

When Democrats Had Chance In
Congress to Voto for Bryan Bank
Deposit Plan They Dodged.
In recent interview Judge Walter
I. Smith, Member Of Congress, said:
"At the last session OF Congress q
currency bill was introduced by Mr.
Jno. s. Williams Of Mississippi, leader
Of the Democratic side of the House
and Democratic Senator-elect from Mis-
| sissippi.
"This bill not only provided for the
cure of all the ills Of our currency sys-
TEN, but contained provision for the
much lauded national guarantee of
bank deposits. On the 9Th day Of last
March Mr.! Williams arose In the House
and stated that he had been furnished
with advance sheets Of an editorial to
appear In Mr.. Bryan's Commoner, COM
menting upon this bill and asked that
these advance sheets might be printed
In the Record, and leave being granted
they were so printed.
in the editorial slight criticism was
made upon trifing details Of the bill.
but upon the whole 1t was declared to
be an ideal measure that ought to re-
ceive the support of every Democrat
1t was also stated that the bill had been
prepared after a conference Of the lead
ing Democrats Of the Senate and House
at which Mr.. Bryan was present.
when the Republican currency
measure was brought up in the House
it was provided by the rule that 1t
should be in order to move to substitute
this bill Of Mr.. Williams, which, 1t
should not be, forgotten, contained a
provision for the national guarantee OF
bank deposits.
".As the time drew near for the close
Of the debate and for some reason no
Democrat offered the bill, Mr.. Kahn OF
California moved to substitute the
Williams bill for the Republican bill.
Immediately there was great confusion
on the Democratic side of the chamber
and a hasty consultation as. to what
should be done. Finally six Democrats
voted to substitute the Williams bill for
the Republican measure, 20 Democrats
voted against it and % Democrats vot-
ed present without being paired.
"The question was not on the adop-
ton of the Democratic bill, but was
whether the Democratic bill, containing
the national guarantee of bank deposits
was preferable to the Republican meas
ure, and on that question only six Dem
ocrats voted Yes 20 Democrats voted
No and 81 Democrats without being
paired voted present. In other words,
about three fourths Of all the Demo
Gratis had no opinion whatever one way
or the other as to whether their bill
with the blessed guarantee Of bank de-
posits in 1t, was better or worse than
ours"

Candidate to Great Statesman a
Miserable Failure.
THE present canvass shows again
the folly Of the ass that put on a
lions skin. The managers of Mr..
Bryan's press bureau are attempting
to eonjure votes for him by the use
Of the sacred name of Lincoln. Aesop
declared that when the ass lifted up
his voice and brayed, every one knew
him and his owner came up and gave
him sound cudgeling The warning
falls Oh deaf ears. The partisan who
tries the same tricks invites like shame
and punishment. The audacity of the
device may capture some of the I'M
wary. Insofar as he has party be-
hind him. Mr., Bryan is the candidate
Of those who maligned and ridiculed
the first and greatest President the
Republican party has given to the ma.
ton. Mr. Bryan relies for support on
the forces which at every step opposed
Lincoln, which obstructed the meas
ures of war and peace Of that savior
of the union, and pronounced the proc
lamation Of emancipation a monstrous
crime."-vice Presidential Candidate

BIG western Bank Deposits

The deposits in the State banks Of
Kansas on Sept. l, the date of the last
call, were greater than ever before in
the history Of the State-a total of
over eighty-three million dollars, and
this within ten months after the panic.
During the eighty days between the
last and next to last calls the deposits
increased at the rate of 100000 a
day. The net increase for this period
was eight million dollars. The ma
tional banks will probably show an
equal gain for the same period.-To-

Bryan for Free Trade.

William Jennings Bryan stands to-

and all that 1t means to American la
Dor and American enterprise. He can
not get away from the record, and
there are no Indications that he wants
to get away from it. He Is committed
to free trade as distinctly as he is to

that he will fasten those twin deviltries

OF years. So we can see how coal was
not only squeezed into a solid mass,
but often much Of the oil and gas
which were in the leaves of the
plants was driven out by pressure
and the internal heat of earth, and
the whole baked into one substance
"The difference between coal which
flames and coal which burns only
with red heat is chiefly that one has
been baked and packed more than the
other. Coal which flames has still
got in 1t the tar and gas and the oils
which the plant stored up in its
leaves, and these when they escape
again give back the sunbeams in a
bright fame. The hard Nstone coal,
on the contrary, has lost a great deal
of these oils, and only carbon re-
mains, which seizes hold of the oxy-
gen Of the air and burns without
flame. Coke is pure carbon, which
we make artihcially by driving out
the oils and gases from coal, and the
gas we burn is part Of what is driven
out.
