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 n 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 to 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 !:
Gen. Joseph w. Congdon, president of
the Central Dry Goods Association ;
George +. Victor, one Of the largest i'm
porters and exporters in America vii
liam E. Webb of the firm of James H.
Dunham & Co., Walter Scott of the firm
of Butler Brothers & Co., and l. A.

of the league.
The league was the first society of its
kind to inaugurate the system of noon
day meetings, which it did in New York
City in 1896. 1t claims upward of 200.-
600 members, about $4,000 of whom
come from New York houses.

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 rule?" 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 1t. lie 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.
"Is 1t all question Of expediency
or is 1t 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 a President? And
am l unfair and unjust to Mr.. Bryan
when l 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 futu.e?"
The Holly chieftain., 1908-10-02

of the measure which has come to b.
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 in
yolved. Thus a Democratic Postmaster
General, Democratic chairman of the
Committee on the PostolIice 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.
Blessinxs 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 q
necessity. So eagerly has it been sought
after In all portions of this country
and so thoroughly appreciated wher-
ever 1t has been bestowed, that it has
come to be regarded as a necessity BY
the millions who enjoy it.
Forty years ago every one went or
sent to the postoffice for his mail, and
the farmer in the busy season when his
horses and teams were working In the
oil i'm
self and family possibly once 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 thou
sand cities, but those millions of sturdy
farmers, ranchman and agricultursts
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 for.
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 annum.
1t has been estimated that the value
OF farm lands has risen by this means
as much as five dollars per acre in sew
eral States. A moderate estimate Of
the increased value of lands through
out the country on account Of the adop-
tion Of rural free delivery would be
from 81 to So per acre.

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

If Bryan Was Mistaken on Silver
Are His Conclusions Any Safer
NowP
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 its 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 reaffirma-
tion 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 its resting place
Mr.. Bryan has said that man
worthy to lead great cause should be
willing to die for it. In 1900 Mr. Bryan
said that If anyone said he had changed
his mind about free silver he was Il
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 a candl
date is bound by what the platform
omits as well as by what it contains
Therefore, Mr.. Bryan has either dis
carded free silver as 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, 1t 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 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
an disentangle himself from the wreck
age Of issues which he has temporarily
glorified as vote-getting expedients.-

Future Political Events.
When Mr.. Bryan was notified in 1919
he made his paramount issue the regu-
lation Of department stores; in 1920
he demanded the defeat of the Repub-
licans because Of the miserable way in
which they had enforced the smoke or
dinance. But in 1924, when great
concourse had gathered in front Of
Fairview, Mr.. Bryan tottered out upon
the porch and said: "Felow citizens,
the paramount issue this year is me-

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 a poor politician from every
standpoint save that of courageous,
saf-forgetting public service.
But it is well for Mr.. Roosevelt. to
emphasize this truth, since some men
are likely thoughtlessly to interpret
Mr.. Tafts scrupulous care in state
ment and his honorable care for the
relation Of promise and possible per-
formance 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 constantly
driving him into broad and easy and
ovcr-liberal promises.
Mr.. Bryan is above all things a cam
paigner. and his public utterances
never have been characterized by
statesmanly caution. He has been q
great promiser.

Norman. Okla. April 24.-I expect
TO see in a few years the streets Of

class yesterday.
The asphalt found in Oklahoma is
Of the highest quality and has been
used on the streets Of Kansas City and
some other places.
The difficulty in the production OF
Oklahoma asphalt will be that it will
have TO fight the trust, which is the
Trinidad Asphalt company This com

Standard Oil company. and has con
troll Of the output OF the United State
and OF Trinidad, hence on that account
no one has Yentured to put in a large

FOUNDSAFE
BLOWERS
TOOLS

The discovery Of a full kit Of safe
blowers tools and the arrest Of a sus
picious looking individual were among
the interesting incidents with the po-
lice last night.
The yeggmen's instruments were
found by little girl in the north part
of town yesterday afternoon. She
saw two strange men go to a shack
and conceal something under it, and.
her suspicious being aroused, she went
and examined it. She brought it home
to her father who found it to be a
complete kit Of the tools used by
safe blowers, including fuse, caps, put
ty. soap knife, syringe, etc. 1t was
reported to the officers who at once
set out to find the gentlemen who had
left it At a late hour last night.
Assistant Chief Whited ran onto a ho-
bo near the "Y" in the north part of
town. He had certain articles on his
person which seemed to indicate that
he was a bad man. After being held
in Jail all night, the man, who said
his name was Moore, was taken be-
fore Justice Moore this morning. No
evidence was found to connect him
with the safe-blowing outfit but he
was given a sentence for vagrancy.
