The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1908-10-02

In ordinary affairs there is no
difference between a tariff re-
former and a protectionist. They
meet together in society, in bust
ness, in the lodge room and in the
church. In their daily life they
apply the same rules and are
guided by the same business
rules. This similarity manifests
itself all through life and up to the
very hour of death. If a protec-
Zionist makes a will, he makes
it upon the same plan that the
tariff reformer follows. He does
not give all of his property to one
child and say that he trusts the
child to deal fairly with the rest
of the family Why9 Because
he knows his children and would
not put a child in a position
where selfishness might lead him
to do an injustice to the other
members of the family. And he
is wise in not placing this temp
tation before one of his own fam
lily. But when a protectionist
comes to make tariff law, he
acts upon an entirely different
plan; he votes millions, yes hun
dreds of millions of dollars to
manufacturers whom he has
never seen, and trusts them to be
just in the distribution of the
trust fund among their employees.
And what has been the result?
Just what might have been ex-
pected-the manufacturers have
appropriated the trust fund to
their own use and have paid their
employees only such wages as
trade conditions compelled. -Bry-
ans Tariff Speech at Des Moines.

Whether we consider the tariff
question. the Trust question, the
railroad question, the banking
question, the labor question, the
question of Imperialism, the de-
velopment of our waterways, or
any other of the numerous prob
lens which press for solution, we
shall find that the real question
involved in each is, whether the
Government shall remain a mere
business asset of favor-seeking
corporations or be an instrument
in the hands of the people for the
advancement of the common veal.

The Great Sousa.

John Philip Sousa, whose band
gave concert in this city on
Friday last, the 18th inst, at
the City Opera House, was re
ceived with good audience, and
the master of the baton displayed
all of his old time energy as the
only Sousa. The applause with
which he was greeted and the
encores received by his talented
performers fully demonstrated
that the musical talent of the
city were present to see the great
band master and his company of
solOists.

The Whole Party Rotten.

The Senate is crowded with
trust attorneys. 1t long ago be-
came a scandal that most of the
Republican leaders who went to
Congress poor men after a few
years came away bloated bond
holders. Allison, of Iowa, being
the single exception. 1t is too
late for the Republicans to make
a scapegoat of Foraker.
The Hearst-Foraker ArchibOld
incident is an object lesson of
tremendous reach. The purchase
of stolen letters, the shameless
use of these, their damaging dis
closures, make darksome pict-
ure, and yet, on the other hand,
this picture is hardly more de-
pressing and discouragiug than
the exhibition of rank hypocrisy
and cant which the revelations
have occasioned in that holy of
holes, the armed camp of Roose-
welt. Taft and Hughes, virtue
mOngers in ordinary and man
ufacturers of tin plate god and
morality.
We have all known for years
that such things were doing. The
Republican woods are still left
full of Standard Oil 'attorneys,v
both in and out of Congress, of
sugar ring attorneys" posing
as staGgse What is Cannon
but trust 'altorneyW What
else is Aldrich9 They have syn-
dictated the government.
The Republican party is the
real culprit. Through forty years
that party has seen the "attor-
ney" of every scheme which has
appeared in Washington having
a graft big enough to tempt the
Steering Committee of the Senate
and the Rules Committee of the
House; from high tariff, always at
the front, to high finance, seek
inn monopoly in every known,
useful commodity-Sugar, steel,
iron-enriching the Republican
statesmen and making a mock
cry of popular interests.
The Foraker business is but an
incident. The Reputation Of .
single Senator will nowise make
good. 1t is the Republican party
which is in the dock. 1t is the
Republican party which these
revelations expose. 1t 10 the Re-
publican party, that has been
tried in the balance and found
wanting, which Judge Taft and
Mr. Roosevelt--the peoples best
witnesses TO its bad character
are trying TO save.
Well may the Republican lead
ers, intolerant and arrogant, used
by money and machinery to carry
all before them, whiten with dis
may. Well may they. in their
rage, bite one another like fright
ened beasts. Their sins have
found them out at last. Scandals
to the right Of them, scandals to
the left of them-only the Taft

nsnt. on the other-the grand old

Bryan aud Harmon In Ohio

Ohio Is Taft's native state, but this fact will not deter the democrats of that state from conducting an aggress- i've and hopeful campaign from start to finish. The Ohio delegates to Den yer were instructed by the state con vention held on Wednesday last to vote for William Jennings Bryan, and then Judson Harmon was nominated for governor, and former Governor Camp bell for United States Senator Mayor Tom Johnson heads the delegation that is to go to Denver, and he will cor dially support the entire state pro- gramme.
 While harmony reigns in the demo- cratic party in Ohio not so much can be said of the republican party. It is rent into factions. The Taft-Rooseyelt faction is bitterly antagonistic to the Dick-Foraker faction. Discord is prev alent among the party workers, and the state is full of discontented unem- ployed workmen Let no one imagine therefore that Taft will have walk over in Ohio in case he secures the nomination at Chicago. Ohio is to be one of the battlefelds of the coming campaign, and Indiana and Illinois are also in the list of doubtful states MT. Bryan is strong in all the states of the central west, and he does not for moment concede any state in it to the party that upholds the Dingley robber scheme and that permitted the October panic to fill the land with silent plants and idle men.

TempeStuOuS Weather

The weather this spring has not been calm and normal although 1t has as rule been pretty good for the growing crops. There has been an element in it, however, that bred tempests and tornadoes, and scarcely any change in it has been free from dangerous winds. The storm that swept over four states in the last days of April will be long remembered, and besides that great storm weekly if not daily, hurricanes have visited some part of Dixie Land.
 Few tornadoes have been reported in the northwest or central west, and for some reason not clearly or fully explained the south has been this year the chief theatre of winds and violent storms. These eccentricities of nature will soon, let us hope, subside and cease altogether to be. We do not heed any more this year. The spring of 1908 has already made storm rec ord and it should be content to rest on it's abnormality by letting normal weather return to this section of the country.
 Thus far May has been cool and un- propitious. As rule May is month in which all plants and all growths urosner famously and as the month is still young the hope remains that it will revert to it's customary nature and that all crops will be advanced by It to position of promising fruitfulness.

ghan troops 10000 strong to assail Khyber Pass, and no doubt, too, he will be ready with an eyasive answer. Forti- fled as England is by treaties with Japan and Russia, the chances are very good that the Ameer will be handled rather roughly.
 It is nearly 30 years since General Roberts marched from Kabul to Kan dahar, and that victorious campaign led to peace with the Afghans down to the recent raid. General Roberts was created Lord of Kandahar for the part he took in that famous campaign, Gen. eral Kitchener is now the military commander in India, and he seems to be as ready to crush any raid or rebel lion that may appear as Lord Roberts was 30 years ago.

NED BRACE DISCUSSES THE REGENT RIVALRY
 BETWEEN BRYAN AND JOHNSON SUPPORTERS

late to fight fight which can only dis rupt the democratic party.
 In saying this 1 do not mean that every man in Alabama in casting his ballot for delegate to the Denver convention should not express himself as to his choice as between Bryan and Johnson Such expression in primary would be a prac- tieal indication to the country at large as to democratic feeling. It is well to do it. Let Alabama lead. It is the leading in- dustrial and business state of the south. A frank expression of it's people would mean that Alabama leads in national thought and what we want is demo- cratic administration of this government Democratic success is far more important than the mere person. Bryan will in all probability get the nomination but what care we real democrats who be the man so long as he be thorough democrat if we can win the presidency and the House of Representatives?

Cullman Schools.

"Of course Cullman will make a strong fight for the location of the county high school and we hope to win against Hancevllle" said Mayor George Beyer of that city, who was in Bir- mingham last night. Mr. Beyer re- mained over from the state republican convention yesterday to attend to some business matters.
 ''Cullman is proud of it's school record. We have, besides St. Bernard college and Sacred Heart academy, several private and denominational in- stitutions and one of the best public schools in the state.
 "Cullman needs a new public school building and the city is now getting in shape to supply 1t. Prof. Woods, principal of the school, is one of the best educat tors in the state, and he has a corps of very Efficient teachers.
 "The attendance is larger than ever before and is steadily growing. Though Cullman people are quite heavily taxed by the large Catholic institutions and other denominational schools, all classes give ch eerful and liberal sup port to the public school The same general liberal spirit is shown in tn @ support of the Odd Fellows Widows and Orphans Home that is now being built near Cullman."

CHORUS GIRL ART,

From the Nashville Tennessean.
 Isn't it strange how a woman on the stage can transform an ugly face into a beautiful one?" asked G. E. Bassinton of Cincinnati at the Tulane. You see a chorus girl in the front row, and you go wild about her beauty. Just meet that same girl on the street after the show. Her face will be entirely different So ugly it would curdle milk And you know that's pretty hard. When l was a young chap I became infatuated one night with smart and well-gowned chorus girl. On the stage she was a queen. I sent her note. She didn't answer l made another attempt. Finally she consented to give me the pleasure of a short talk after the show one evening. Gracious, man, when l met the girl face to face thought I'd shrivel and drop through the earth. She looked about 40 years old, had wrinkles galore and had a voice that went clear through you. I imme- dately had business elsewhere. Since that time I've always suspicioned the stage beauties. With a little rouge. powder and a rabbits foot they can do wonders"

Peace Restored In Khyber Pass

Afghanistan is buffer state lying between India, which belongs to Eng land, and the outposts of Russia in cen tral Asia But a new Anglo-Russian treaty renders a buffer state unneces- sary. This treaty was negotiated with out the consent of Afghanistan and probably without her knowledge. This fact may have led to the recent upris- ing. But at the most this is conjectural, for no one in the outside world knows whether the Afghan raid was con ducted by rebel brother of the Ameer or by the reigning Ameer, Habibulah Kahn. The Ameer receives a large sum annually from Great Britain, and he is treaty ally of that country, but England has of late had some reasons for doubting the sincerity of his sup port.
 The known facts are that about 20,- GOO Afghans, equipped with guns made in Germany were dispatched against the almost impregnable Notifications in the Khyber Pass, where they were net by General Willcocks, commander of the British forces in the Punjaub. The Afghans were moved down by machine guns, and the raid was stop ped at the threshold of India.
 So thoroughly were the Afghans whipped the raid once so threatening is considered ended, and no more trouble is apprehended at present. No doubt the Ameer will be asked to ex- plain why he permitted a body of Af-

Revival of Enterprise

The placing of a $40,000,000 loan by the Pennsylvania company has been quickly followed by the offer to invest ors of $1OOOO0,OO0 in bonds by the Union Pacific company. The new Union Pacific bonds may be over-subscribed for, and if they are it will become plain to all that the spirit of enterprise is again hopeful and even aggressive. Following October 26 investors became timid, and even borrowers did not care to incur new obligations, thus repeat ing the long stories of depression that followed 1873 and 1893. The bond sale of the Pennsylvania company was evil dence that investors are no longer afraid to place their money in good securities. The Union Pacific offer may clinch this view of the situation, and if it does it may safely be written that the corner has been turned, and that action will replace inaction, and the autumn months will bring back normal conditions in general trade
 This prediction is based, it is true, on the outcome ol the crops. We need great crops of wheat, corn, cotton and oats, and today the government will issue a bulletin in relation to the win ter wheat crop, the cutting of which will soon be begun in Texas.

aaooklEr TOO POLITE.

New York Correspondence Cincinnati
 Times-Star.
 At the Aqueduct track during the last meeting, the regulars observed one of last years bookmakers playing em from the ground" Of course, they asked why. The man in question is likeable fellow, courteous, square and a good judge of horsef1esh It was a surprise to all to find that he had dropped his book. "Pll tell you why" said he. frankly, when he was interrogated. "It was because I was too polite All last season I used to notice that a man would place bet with me, and if he lost go to another bookmaker to take his wager for the next race. I couldn't get and hold a clientele like the other boys can, although I was even more generous than they in my effort to get business. Finally I caught on. When a man handed me a bet l always said thank you Now, maybe there was a mocking reflection in my voice. Certainly 1t was not intended, but the bettor would look at me sourly. and go away gnaw- ing his lip. If he lost, he was persuaded that knew it all the time, and that my courteous thanks were not for the bet but for the gift of money. If he won, he d he ant to go to another bookie rather than to play into my hands, as he thought it. I made money, but did less business than any other book in line last summer. I concluded this year to play 'em from the ground. It was either that, or give up the habit of courtesy"

Indeed IL goes further and stipulates that there shall be such safety device attached to the machine that in case of trouble with the machinery in midair the occupants can descend safely.

Iihertv of thA Press In Oklahoma

The decision rendered in Oklahoma in relation to newspapers carrying liquor advertisements was rendered by Judge Jeremiah c. Strang in the Logan county court of that state. Attorney General West had asked for the issu- ance of an injunction to prohibit the publication of liquor advertisements i'll newspapers within the state, and Judge Strang denied the application, passing his opinion on the decision of Justice White of the United States supreme court in the South Carolina dispensary case. Judge Strang said in his opinion that if Oklahoma could establish cen- sorship on newspapers carrying liquor, advertisements other states could es- tablish censorship in other matters, and in that way the constitutional guarantee of a free press would be lullified
 The case has been appealed to the \ supreme court of Oklahoma, and the decision of that court will be awaited with interest, although such a decision would be subject to review in the United States supreme court. To that great court the subject will ultimately no doubt be carried, and the nature of the constitutional guarantees finally determined.
