The Mine Workers Journal, official

not support Bryan in the coming cleo
ton. In a statement to a correspond
ent the Mine Workers Journal states ::
For obvious reasons we are COM

well-written letter. 1t is contrary to
the rules Of the Journal to allow any
thing of a partisan political nature In
its columns. Yours would invoke re-
plies Of a partisan nature and an at
tack on other partisan candidates
from others who differ with you, and
the columns OF the Journal would be
filed with letters Of partisan politi-
cal nature to the exclusion Of matter

HOW COULD BRYAN HELPa
His Prescriptions For Business
Shown to Be Intellectual.

(From the Pittsburg GaZette-Times.
We hear of workingmen saying
that this time they intend to vote
for Mr.. Bryan, because for the past
ten months we have had hard times
But what good will that do? How Is
b tariff for revenue, ignoring the pro-
lection plea altogether, going to open
the shops and mills? How will the
election of Senators by direct vote
start the wheels Of industry? Or
the publication of campaign contri-
buttons? Or the further harassment
Of the railroads? Or the reorganiza-
ton Of the House, SO that the Speaker
may be powerless? Why open this
country now to the markets Of the
world when we have not sufficient de-
mand to consume what we ourselves
manufacture?
The Idaho Springs siftings-news. (Idaho Springs, Colo.) 1905-19??, 1908-09-26

for considerable period. engaged In
such enforcement, with marked EN-
cheney and success. 1t proposes for the
president a candidate who declares
his purpose to continue and complete
that enforcement of the law. and whose
cOnpetency to do SO with success has
been proved. Mr.. Bryan does not be-
lieve In the regulation of railroads. He
does not believe it practicable. He re-
CARDS it as bound to fail, although he
is willing to criticise tie Republican
party for not accomplishing that vast
and complicated task all at once.
1T is natural to observe that, II the
people of the country desire railroads
to be regulated, and the laws regard
ing them to be enforced. it would be
wise to entrust that regulation to MT.
Taft, who believes in regulation, ana
has faith in the wisdom and effective
ness of the law, rather than in the
hands of one who believes that all ef-
fort to regulate must prove futile.
The Democratic Record.
"What is furnished by the record OF
the Democratic party ut large to sho"
that it is competent to maintain the
prosperity we have. and execute the
promises of reform it tenders. NO
proof whatever of that is offered. All
the evidence we have is the other way.
The majority of us have not yet lor-
gotten the second administration OF
Grover Cleveland, which ended only on
the 4th Of March, 1897. The Democracy
then had its opportunity to show the
world what it could do with govern
ment, for it possessed the executive
office, majority of the Senate, ana
majority of the House. Its opportunity
to exercise that control for the pubic
benefit was wasted. Discord and con
fusion reigned throughout the entlre
four years. Incapacity TO reach prac'
teal conclusions or to take any eHect
i've action was demonstrated. No PROM
ises Were kept No reforms were ac'
complished. 1t became apparent that
the sole cohesive force that bound the
Democratic party together was the oe-
sire for office, and, once in Office, IN
stead of progress, we had all factions
pulling different ways, totally lncapaple
Of agreeing upon n common course Oh
conduct
Are the people of the United states
ready to repeat that experience or
Democratic government"

Timely Advice.

When, not long ago, Mark Twain re-
visited Elmira, whose citizens still
claim him as one of them, he was tn
vited to address the inmates Of the
State reformatory. Seeking to illus
trate a point in his talk, he drew a
handsome gold watch from his pocket,
and said:
For instance, take my watch"
He got no further. Many of the
inmates had been placed In the insti-
tuition for taking watches, and the hui
NOR of the illustration seemed to strike
every listening convict. Gleefui
shouts of recognition and approval
went up on all sides. and the speaker
hesitated and realized that, Temporal
rily, at least, he had lost.

Party Requirements.

As a party shows itself homogeneous,
able to grasp the truth with respect to
new issues, able to discard unimportant
differences of opinion. sensitive with
respect to the successful maintenance
of government. and highly charged with
the responsibility of its obligations to
the people at large, it establishes its
claim to the confidence of the public
land to its continuance in political
power.-Hon. VIM. 81. Taft, at Kansas

TAFT'S SETTLEMENT OF THE
FRIARS' LAND PROBLEM.

In the whole story of Judge Tafts
brilliant and useful career as 1urlst,
executive and diplomat there is no
more credtuble chapter than that de
voted to his adjustment of the contro-
versy concerning what were known as
the "triars' Lands" in the Philip
pines Those lands, consisting OF
tile Soil in the islands, were held by
priests of certain religious orders, but
wete occupied and farmed by native
tenants, who complained that the
rentals exacted by their clerical land
lords were excessive. Upon the with
drawaI of Spanish authority from the
Archipelago the Friars' Lands became
the subject of earnest controversy
The farmer tenants contended that
the property should be taken from the
priests and thrown open to purchase
in small parcels by the actual occu-
pants. There was Il demand. Indeed,
for the confiscation of the property
and the priests themselves, in their
ignorance of American methods, were
fearful that such a course might be
adopted.
1t became one of Mr.. Tafts tasks
to settle this serious dispute, and h"
accomplished ii in Il manner which
not only greatly increased his OWE
popularity and enlarged American
prestige in the islands, but developed
among the clerical authorities and the
| tenant farmers vastly more neighbor-
| " spirit, and a more harmonious
community of interest than had evet
cx isted before. Mr.. Taft carefully in
yestigated all conditions relating to
the Friars' Lands. He consulted the
! clerical landlords, the higher church
authorities and the tenant farmers.
Then he went to Rome, where nis
proposals for an amicable adjustment
of the controversy received the cordial
approval of the papal authorities.
| The Friars' Lands were purchased for
il sum approximating $7,OOO,0OO.
| Clerical landlorGism ceased and the
property was divided into small par
GELS and sold Oh easy terms to former
tenants and others DESTROYS of engag-
| ing in agriculture.
| The real Importance of this trans
action is appreciated only by those
| familiar WITH the manifold and deli
cate problems which have been en-
| countered in the work of American
| izng the Philippines The settlement
of the affair by Mr.. Taft removed per-
| munently a fruitful source of friction
between the civil and the religious In
terests of the islands. 1t laid the
foundation for kindlier relations and
more intimate cooperation between
the civil government and the authori-
| ties Of the church. 1t set before the
Filipinos a high example of American
friendship and fair dealing which is
| bound to exert wholesome moral
and educational influence for many
years to core.

Very Tempting.

A man was brought before justice
of the peace charged with the offense
of kissing a young woman by force
and violence, and against her will"
The young lady, who was very
handsome. gave her testimony in
modest and straightforward manner,
after which his honor gave the follow
ing decision:
"The court in this case sympathizes
with the defendant, and will therefore
discharge him without fine, imprison-
ment or reprimand, because the court.
while this case has been in progress
has been obliged to hold on to both
arms of his chair to keep from kissing
the complainant himself"

Her mother sent for the doctor. When

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
. AGAINST OUR NAVY
Objects to Appropriation to Make
Us Equal to Our New
Responsibilities.
Would Leave Us the Prey Of Stronger
Nations-success Of Monroe Doc
trins Depends On Ado
quats Navy.

william Jennings Bryan has always
opposed a great American navy. He
went to Congress years ago, and II he
accomplished anything worthy Of note,
the record has failed to show 1t. At
that time the Democrats oil over the
country were looking to him with grow
ing admiration because of his obstruc-
ton tactics. On July Q, 1892, he arose
In his place in the House Of Repre-
sentatives and opposing proposed
naval appropriation, said:
"Mr. Speaker, l believe in a sufficient
navy. We have this now, either in ex-
Astence or in construction. We do not
heed more"
II the same Bryan To-day.
Such was Mr. Bryan sixteen years
ago and such he is to-day. He has OPP
posed every proposed appropriation to
increase and strengthen our navy, as a
matter of defense and protection to our
coast line, and a preventative Of war
with other nations, as IA source of pride
and prestige and Insurance to our coun-
try. The matchless record Of our navy
at Santiago and in Manila Bay during
the Spanish war interests him not Had
his ideas prevailed we would have had
no victories on the water in that war.
Must Always Be Ready.
As wars between nations come sud
denly, just as do personal conflicts be
tween men, our navy must be maintain
ed upon that basis of possible contin-
gency. Our national history shows that
wars have sprung suddenly into exist
ence while wise men were prOclaimlng
that war could not occur. There are
many instances where the most unex-
pected occurrences have brought us to
the very verge Of battle.
We are not military nation. yet we
are a rich nation. and undefended
wealth invites aggression. The very
liberty of individual speech and action
which we as people SO prize and
guard, renders 1t possible that at times
unexpected causes of friction with for
eign powers may suddenly develop.
Even at present this country is negO-
Dtiating arbitration treaties with d num-
Der of the great powers. These treaties
have special usefulness because in the
event Of some sudden disagreement they
render 1t morally incumbent upon both
nations to seek first to reach an agree
ment to arbitrate and at least secure
a breathing space during which the
cool judgment OF the two nations
involved may get the upper hand over
any mOmentary burst of anger. Such
treaties are entered into with the hope
Of preventing wrong doing by others
against us and also as a proof that
we have no intention OF doing wrong
ourselves.
Preparedness safest Peace Argument
Yet 1t Is idle to assume that this
world has yet reached the stage, or has
come within measurable distance Of the
stage. when a proud nation, jealous of
its honor and conscious Of its great
mission in the world. can be content
to rely for peace upon the forbearance
