The Labor World comes out strongly
n Its advocacy Of Mr.. Taft. 1t charac
terizes him true friend of labor and
declares that the unfair attacks of Mr..
oompers will have little or no effect in
alternating from him the labor world.
II says "That Secretary Taft is a true
friend Of labor is certain, and all the
untrue, ungenerous, vicious attacks
that President Gompers or any one else
may make on him cannot prevent him
from continuing to be the friend of the
wage worker. Organized labor cannct
afford to have itself split up into fac

tie Farms. 1rHrK nay WORDS
II the gold standard goes on and pee
pie continue to complain, the gold stan
dard advocates instead Of trying to i'm
prove the condition Of the people will
be recommending that you close your
schools so that the people will not real
ize how much they are suffering
From speech at Monmouth, ILL.,, Octo-
Der, 1896.
But whom has the gold standard
slain? What future did 1t write In
blood? What district Schools did it
close: Again the condition of the
country makes calm reply confuting
the impassioned orator.
Campaigning again in 1900 Mr. Bry-
an decided that imperialism was an
other danger to the country. If it were
continued the Fourth Of July would be
forgotten by all Americans and the
spirit of '78" would become a thing
of the past Speaking at Lincoln, Mr.
Bryan said:
Sees Death of Patriotism.
''The fight this year will be to carry
out the sentiment of that song we have
so often repeated, My Country, 'Tis of
Thee II we lose, our children and
our chidren's children will not succeed
to the spirit of that song, and celebra-
tons Of the Fourth of July will pass
away, for the spirit of the empire will
be upon us.
Is there any spot in these United
States where the spirit of 1776 is dead
and forgotten and the Fourth OF July
q meaningless date on the calendar?
One of the most ridiculous Of these
prophecies was contained in a speech
Mr.. Bryan made in support of Judge
Parker during the campaign of 1904,
when he attacked President Roosevelt
bitterly This prophecy had it that
military despotism was sure to follow
the decrease in the size of the standing
army. In this speech Mr.. Bryan also
emphasized the fact that he was then
and always would be a firm believer in
the principle of free silver. He sum-
med up his position on this question in
the following sentence:
81 believe to-day in the principles set
forth at Chicago and Kansas City (1G
to y and shall continue to fight for
those principles"

Disasters He FOretold Never Co00
to Pass.
OPPOSITE IS ALWAYS TRUE.
Gold Standard Does Not Stay, Noo
Does It Write Future In Blood.

AS prophet William Jennings Bry.
an has never been a success. The ca.
lamities which he has foretold would
have brought unlimited disaster to the
country II they had ever been realized.
But they lever came to pass. The har-
cowing pictures which he painted were
merely Pigments of his Imagination,
bnsed on absolutely no foundation
whatever
her that prophecies uttered by the ora
tor Of the Platte must be discounted
fully 100 per cent, for all signs indi-
cate that he feels the fates once more
ana is about to begin prophesying
again. A male Cassandra, Mr.. Bryan
might by this time have learned that
the forecast of evil will never be be-
lieved by those who have found that
in the past his Vaccinations have bean
but empty air.
Driving Country to Ruin"
For instance, when Mr.. Bryan was
member of the House of Representa-
tives in 1892 he was absolutely certain
that protection was driving the coun-
try headlong to rack and ruin, and in
his speech delivered March 16 of that
year he drew the following agonizing
pictures
Protection has been our cannibal
tree, and as one after another of our
farmers has been driven by the force
Of circumstances upon that tree and
has been crushed within it's folds his
companions have stood around and
shouted, Great is protection
Thus in every State, so far as these
statistics have been collected the pro-
portion Of home owning farmers is de-
Creasing and that of tenant farmers
increasing This means but one thing.
1t means a land Of landlords and ten
ants, and, backed by the history of
every nation that has gone down, say
to you that no people can continue
a free people under a free government
are tenants of a small minority. Your
system protective tariff) has driven
the farm owner from his land and
substituted the farm tenant"
How far this picture portrays the
America of to-day or the America of
any year since he made that speech
any American can answer. Even in
Mr. Bryans own State he can find an
answer right at his doors, for the farm
lads Of Nebraska have doubled in
value.
"Murderous Gold Standard"
But during the four years succeeding
that speech Mr.. Bryan's agitation grew
had raised In his own lima gination hide
with diminished head, for In 1896 he
again saw restitution threatening the
country. He had a remedy for 1t,
panaeea, fetch which he held up for
wership-free silver. Here are some
Of the things Mr.. Bryan said would
happen if the gold standard were con-
tlnued:
Il reply that IL protection has slain
it's thousands the gold standard has
slain Its tens Of thousands From
spesoh at Democratic National Conven-
Gen. July, 1900.

JAPANESE LEAGUE
REOPENS SERIES

The japanese Baseball League re-
opened its series yesterday with the
usual double-header on the bare lot by
the railroad depot There was a large
crowd of japanese fans present, and
both games were properly eheered to
the rooters.
In the first game the Kaehos defeat
ed the Tokiwas by % to 16 in rather
duh game. The second game, between
the Asahi Juniors and Fusoos, was much
more lively, however. and the Asahis
kept their place at the head of the list
by defeating their opponents to the
tune of 6 to 2.
Moriyama, the Asahi twirler, did
some excellent work He famed
seven and walked only two, while Ma
kamato, although he famed eight, al
lowed ten players to reach first on balls.
The winners made three errors, while
the losing felders had not a single
error chalked up against them.
The detailed score of the second
game was:
