SAYS in today's Courier-Journal:


The Courier Journal can see nothing
In the outlook but the election OF Bryan
and the defeat of Taft Its basic faith
rests upon it's undiminished belief in
the virtue and intelligence of the peo-
pie and the destiny Of the republic:
II the Republicans can win an cleo
tion by means which they take no
pains to conceal. but could not conceal
IL they would, then the great body Of
the people have lost their fdelity 10
their institutional system under the de-
bauchment of the almighty dollar.
IL they can win 1t with such agen-
cies we have proof conclusive that the
vast energies OF the federal govern
ment. in the hands OF INSCRIPTIONS
men. are more than match for-the
unorgani1ed and moneyless masses Of
the people
the world saw what could be done with
and against universal suffrage In
France; With Theodore Roosevelt In
the saddle they may be given the sane
Louis Napoleon was not more reckless
than is Theodore Roosevelt, but we
shall not believe bureaucracy and CEN
prevailed In France until their triumph

Meanwhile, our confidence II strong

gress OF the campaign, the putting OF

DEMOCRATS GIVE

REPUBLICANS SUPPRESS iNFoR.
NATION TILL AFTER ELECTION
CAN you GUESS WHY?

The Democratic national committee
will accept no campaign contributions
from corporations, and is making pub
lie all subscriptions as soon as re-
ceived. A strong TOKEN this OF the
genuineness OF the Democracy's deter
mination that the people shall rule.
The Republican national committee
will not make public the sources OF
It's campaign funds until AFTER cleo
ton.
Money is now reported 20 be flowing
into the Republican treasury. but the
contributors are unknown. II II Is
the party managers purpose TO buy
the election. as they have heretofore.
The evidence OF the crime will not
reach the public until II. IL too late. as
II did in the insurance revelations
and the publication OF the Hartman
letter.
While not q partisan newspaper,
The Detroit Times has been so i'm
pressed with the sincerity OF the
stand taken by Mr. Bryan for pub
LEFTY and purity of campaign fnanc-

the reception and acknowledgment OF
contributions to the Democratic fund.
This money Is forwarded promptly 20
the treasurer OF the Democratic ma
tional committee. who will send hand
some souvenir receipts to the con.
tributors.
The Democracy has called for an
additional 100000 tor the necessary
and legitimate expenses Of the balance
OF the campaign. The Times Will re-
ceive and acknowledge all remittances
for this cause up TO Oct. 80. Use the

CONSERVATION OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
Par Reaching Policy for the Good
Of All the People.
Republican Party Uncovering Vast
Wealth and Making Home own
ing Easier Each Year.

An extremely important feature Of
the constructive Republican policy is
the national movement for the conser-
walton Of the natural resources OF the
country. This measure has been orig
mated by the present Republican ad-
ministration and, like the homestead
law. the national irrigation act and
other measures for the benefit Of the
whole people, its influence is destined
TO be far reaching and productive Of
great good to the home builders of the
country.
The National Conservation Commits
sion as 1t exists to-day is an outgrowth
of the Inland Waterways Commission
this Commission was appointed by
President Roosevelt In March, 1907. In
his letter creating the Waterways Com
mission the President uses this Ian
yuage: THAT the Inland Waterways
Commission shall consider the relations
OF the streams to the use OF all the
permanent natural resources and their
conservation for the making and main
ichhhSe VI prosperous noii's'
Homo BuiIdInE for the People.
The Inquiries of the commission along
the lines Indicated led to the proposal
10 the President on Oct 3 that he call
conference on the general subject Of
the conservation OF the national re-
sources of the nation. Among other
.pt
their letter to the President stated :
Hitherto our national policy has been
one OF almost unrestricted disposal Of
natural resources. and this in more Law
ish measure than by any other nation
In the worlds history and this policy
OF the federal government has been
shared by the constituent States. Three
consequences have ensued: First, un.
precedented consumption OF natural re-
sources: second. exhaustion of these
resources to the extent that large
part OF our available public lands have
passed into great estates or corporate
interests. our forests are so far depict.
ed as TO multiply the cost OF forest
iron ore are SO far reduced as to Ell.
hance prices; and third. unelualled op-
portunity for private monopoly, to the
extent that both the federal and State
sovcreisnties have been compelled to
enact laws for the protection OF the
people
we are OF opinion that the time has
come for considering the policy OF con
serving these material resources on
which the permanent prosperity Of our
country and the equal opportunity of
all our people must depend; we are also
of opinion that the policy OF conserva-
lion hns so marked an advance on that
policy adopted at the outset OF our nm.
