Blessings Of Rural Delivery.
The existence and growth Of rural
free delivery are the best evidences i'm
recent years, that this is government
of the people and for the people. Some
near-statesman of the Democratic par
ty has called the service a luxury. It
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 necessity by
the millions who enjoy it.
Forty years ago every one went or
sent to the postof1ice for his mail, and
the farmer in the busy season when his
horses and teams were working in the
field, could only receive mail for HIM
self and family possibly once week.
on Saturday afternoon. Now it is not
only delivered several times each day

farmers, ranchmen and agriculturIsts
who form the backbone of the REPUBLIC

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

Democratic Candidates Shifting
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 extraordinarily
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.
us it all question Of expediency
or is it 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 free people? Are stability
of mind, safe and sound craftsmanship
essential qualities for President? And
am, unfair and unjust to Mr.. Bryan
when say that his positions so quick
ly taken, so earnestly urged, 80 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
Nowe
OF 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 reaftirma-
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 it's
period Of greatest prosperity. Time
and events have refuted all Mr.. Bryans
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 great cause should be
willing to die for 1t. In 1900 Mr.. Bryan
said that II anyone said he had changed
his mind about free silver he was a
falsifier. 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 candi-
date is bound by what the platform
omits as we'll as by what it contains
Therefore, Mr.. Bryan has either dis
carded free silver as belief, or he has
omitted it this year as 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. If he
does not believe in it, then he has been
convinced that he made stupendous
mistakes in 1896 and 1900, when he
forced the issue on his party.
A leader may be stronger than his
party; he may offer better standard
Of government than the party platform
on which he is running; but no leader
can disentangle himself from the wreck
l2ge of issues which he has temporarily
glorified as vote-getting expedients-

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 phrased
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 poor politician
and is poor politician from every
standpoint save that of courageous.
self-forgetting public service. -.
But it is well for Mr. Roosevelt to
emphasize this truth, since some men
are likely thoughtlessly to interpret
Mr.. Taft's scrupulous care in 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
to rhetorical emphasis are constantine
driving him into broad and easy and
over-liberal promises.

Finish and Wins, 81 l-J to 9 %.

One of the prettiest dual meets
ever seen on the Wentworth track,
took place Monday afternoon, when
the athletes of Central High school
of Kansas City wrested the victory
from Wentworth by the close score
of 54t to 49i. Not unit! the last
event had been contested was the
result Of the meet decided. With
regard to records, the meet was
more than a success. Sensational
running, spectacular jumping and
great work with the weights were
all see in Mondays clash.
Despite the extreme warmth of
the weather, a large crowd turned
out to witness the meet. Every de-
tail had been pre-arranged and the
meet went off without a hitch. Every
event on the program was holly con-
tested. WAITS great work in the

perb work with weights, Anfenger's
great race in the mile and Welsh IFS
sensational winning of the pole vault
in which he vaulted almost a foot
higher than he had ever been able
to do in practice, were all features in
which local athletics starred. The

their all-round work in general,
ELECTED much praise from the crowd.
