For Taft and the BIg stick.

To the Editor of The World
Because of the present condition OF
our government we must have man
the wheels of progress turning, SO that
more respect shall be shown on the
part of Europe.
Our government has been progress
ing ever since its birth. The Monroe
Doctrine will be in great danger In
stead of Japan being our friendly
neighbor it will become our foe There
fore all parties should unite In electing
Mr.. Taft by big majority, and with
the big Stick" he should carry out
President Roosevelt's policies.

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULEpo

Tune-"John Brown"
We have heard the wondrous query of
Nebraska's Peerless One"
AS it sounded out from Fairview and
struck the nation dumb;
SO we guess we'll keep on ruling, as for
many year we've done!
The people still shall rulel
Chorus:
Glory, glory, hallelujah. Glory, glory,
hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah! The People
still shall rule,
In eighteen ninety-six you know, the
People thought they'd rule,
And give the Peerless Orator" some
more years at school;
But still in ninteen hundred he could
not the People fool;
The People still would rule
"Shall the People ruler" asks Bryan.
Does he think the nation daft?
is there any cause for wonder that the
People see his craft?
or course, they'll keep on ruling, and
their Leader will be Taft
The People still will rule!
Taft is running on his record, while
Bryan runs away
From the Paramount Issues" which he
held the other day;
And what he'll hold tomorrow no NOR
tai man can say,
The People still shall rule!
We believe in honest banking, but not
in guarantees
To secure bank deposits that may tend
TO foster thieves,
However much such methods some cum
ming knaves might please,
The People still will rule.
We intend TO vote for William-but not
for William B.
Our ballots in November shall be cast
for William T.
The defeat of William Bryan will be
counted No. 3,
The People still shall rule.

Big Western Bank Deposits.

The deposits in the State banks OF
Kansas on Sept /. 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
tiona banks will probably show an
equal gain for the same period. To

BRYAN THE FREE.TRAOER
Stands To-day as He Did When in
Congress for Free Trade.
He Pronounced the Wilson German
Free Trade Bill Just and
Honorable.

In the record of Mr.. Bryan's public
career he is officially identified with
just one important measure of federal
legislation. and that the Wilson German
tariff act of 1894. As a member of the
House Committee on Ways and Means
during President Cleyeland's second adj
ministration Mr.. Bryan assisted in pre-
pairing that measure. and in its COM
pleted form ii bore his unqualified APP
proyal. Ills advocacy of the bill drew
sharp and clear the dividing line be-
tween the DEMOCRACY of Organism and
the Democracy OF Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Bryan pronounced the measure just
and honorable. President Cleveland de-
nounced IL as the creature Of perfidy
and dshonor." refused to sign IL. and it
became law without his approval.
The distinction thus drawn between the
Bryan Democracy and the Cleveland
Democracy continues to this day.
Free Trade Disastrous.
Inasmuch as Mr. Bryan is posing
this year as the special friend and
champion of the farmers. II is worth
while to point out how their interests
were affected by the only important law
he ever helped to create. The Wilson
German act repealed the duty on wool.

President Cleyeland's second election,

At the close OF Mr.. Clevelands term,
thanks TO the baleful influence OF the
free trade act which Mr.. Bryan had
helped to force upon the statute book,
the number of sheep in the country had
fallen to 36.SlS.643. having a value of
S60. 020.9i2. In other words, the sheep
herds had suffered loss of more than
100000, or nearly % per cent, and
the wool clip of the United States had
declined In value about $5s,OO0.0O0. or
nearly 80 per cent, all through the OPP
GRAFTON of n law which found one Of
its most ardent supporters in the per
son of "the farmers friend" William
J. Bryan.
In 1893. under the fostering care OF
tariff protection. the wool of the coun-
try amounted to 303.oOO.0OO pounds
i'm 1895. under the blighting effect OF
free trade. IL fell to 2O9.OO0O00 pounds.
In 1891. with the tariff restored. il
rose to 302,000000 pounds and to 316..
O00o0O pounds in 1902. During the
four years of President Cleveland's sec
ond term the measure which he de-
nounced as 'the creature of perfidy and
dishonor," but which Mr.. Bryan never
theless enthusiastically endorsed, sad

losses conseryatively estimated ut $780,

only victims of the Wilson German

can industry suffered. 1t lowered the
duties on imports of manufactures and
thereby forced the closing of important
native industries and drove their EN-
ployes into idleness. Wages in every
branch of industrial activity declined.

William Jennings Bryan stands to-
day as he stood In 1894, for free trade
and all that it means to American la
Dor and American enterprise He can
not get away from the record, and
there are no indications that no wants
to get away from it. He is committed
to free trade as distinctly as be is to
free silver. and his own words show
that he will fasten those twin deviltries
upon the country II he gets the chance.

tells the story of how. in 1874, twenty
eight buffalo hunters from Kansas van

In the spring of 1874 the Kansas buffalo
hunters invaded the Llano Estacado. 1t
is said that they slew more than hum
dred thousand buffalOes in five months.
The headquarters Of this company of
hunters was at Adobe Walls, 10 miles
southwest of Dodge City. This deserted
station soon sprang into renewed life,

of a white woman named Parker.
