What Bryan Has Backed Away From.

We arc tsGding a good deal in

tical declarations. Here arc few
things they have let 90 of since
1896 and 1900:
There is not one word in the
Denver platform s',ont the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio of l6
to l.
There is not one word about
bimetallism with or without tho
consent Of other nations.
There is not na,e word dsnunnce.

There is not ono word against
the United States Supreme Cmrt.
There is not ona word about gov
ernment ownership of raiIroads.
There is not one word about the
initiative and referendum-and il
was not SD very long ago that MIR.
Bryan threatened in effect tO drive
every body out Of the Democratic
party who did not believe in the
initiative and referendum.

"Gompers, at the head of three
million. elyjses for the Democratic
ticket" says a press fspott in
Democratic papers. 1t is quite
true that Mr.. Labor Leader Com
pers is favorably disposed towards
the Bryan ticket, but no one who
has studied Democratic history
will believe tpat labor aap expect
anything from that party in the
future, so We are prone to believe
that in urging organized labor to
aid in the election of Bryan Mr..
Gomper's wants to handle it as a
cats-paw to rake something out of
the are 1os himself, yegy like!y the
portfolio of Commerce and Labor,
The only thing Gompsr's can sec
in the whole Denver platform that
be fancies is a promise for the
betterment of the conditions of
LABOR is an ambiguous and insincere
declaration against tie use Of fed
eral court injunotions in labor
strikes. If he were looking
for real promises in behalf of labor
why does he not study the plat
form of the Socialist party, which
is tIll Of sHch promises Prom9; pl!e:iin!'ly
stated, and reeoiamead the sup
port of the Debs ticket? The rea-
son he does not do this is clear,
the Socialists do not like Mr..
Gompers, they hold him to be
self-saeker who has no real love
for the laborine classes. 1t is not
likely that Mr.. Gompers will in
fluence great many of the ''three
million" to vote the Democratic
ticket.

1t has again lately been pointed
ont that very few of the Standard
Oil Company's employees die and
pope resign, and that those who
oaye been faithfpl IN their SER
vice to the company are given
freedom from work and a pension
in their old age. This partakes a
whole lot of the socialistic idea,
and it argues that if an industry
under coptrol of . private mono
poly can bring such satisfactory
results, that under government
monopoly the benefits must be
greater still. The Standard Oil
never seems 10 have the harass-
ment of labor troubles.

The Democrats through their
party platform promise to do
great things for the laboring mass
es, but no sooner was this promise
made than a labor leader rises to
remark that where the Democratic
party has been longest and in COM
p!ets power-the south, the condi-
tiOns Of labor are the worst. One
would think from Democratic at.
terances on the subject that where
that party rules labor is happy and

POSTAL REGULATIONS

ASAN0
The United States postal regu-
lations regarding newspapers are
plain and are becoming more and
more strict. If a person takes a
newspaper from the Office, the
publisher can collect pay flor it,
even if the person never ordered
it. Many do not understand
that the only sure way to stop an
unwelcome paper and avoid a
more unwelcome bill for the same,
is to refuse to take it from the
p%ostofice.
The recent law requiring addi-
tional postage for subscribers
over ayear in arrears for a weekly
paper, is being used already by
publishers in the east to put their
subscription lists on a strictly
cash-in-advance basis, every SUBJ
scriber being dropped at the ex-
piration Of the time for which He
has paid. This is found more
satisfactory to both publisher and
subscriber; alike

at Local Ball Grounds

trH.aHs#Hrr H.Fttaa-. E-aret -g.EI|. sa
The manager of the Dickinson base
ball team has made arrangements with
the Miles City management for two games
of ball to be played in this city. The
first game will DO pulled OF this Satur-
day. afternoon and the second on Sunday
afternoon.
Nothing could please the Dickinson
fans better than to see this contest Miles
City took three out Of the four games
played on Montana soil last week and is
quite confident that the team will be able
to administer a similar dose in the camp
of the enemy. There is not a local man
who thinks for q minute that the visitors
will be able to land either game and
they will be compelled to play much
better than at the Miles City games to
make even q respectable showing in a
game with the Dickinson regulars.
The chances are that Miles City will
come to Dickinson REINFORCED with some
of the best Forsyth has got and will put
up a much stronger fight than is expected.
In any a the spectators may depend
on getting their moneys worth and the
games will decide who's who.
