A REPUBLICAN VIEW OF THE
REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM.

The most laughable incident which
has happened in the campaign ard
one of the most ludicrous in the p,-
litical campaigns of the country was
an editorial published in the Omaha
Bee, the newspaper owned by Victor
Rosewater, the Republican national
committeeman. member of the exec
utive committee. and chairman of tile
publicity bureau. In an editorial last
week. the Bee made the blunder of
criticising vigorously the tariff plank
OF the Republican platform. the wriic.
of the editorial being under the i'm i.
preston that he was criticising some.
thing that Mr.. Bryan had said.
Commencing with his tariff speech
at Des Moines, and in several speeches
since that time. Mr. Bryan has rid
died and ridlculed this plank. and in
so doing, has quoted it. The editor Of
the Bee. not recognizing his own plat
form and not noticing that it was a
quotation, assumed that the words
were those of Mr.. Bryan. The plank
Democrat, is as follows:
In all tariff legislation the true
principle is best maintained by the
imposition of such duties as will equal
the difference between the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad, together
with reasonable profit to American in
dustries."
And this is what the Bee has to say
about that plank:
Nothing prettier in the catch all
line has been offered in this campaign.
The most hide bound standpatter in
the country can accept that as satis-
factory and the rankest free trader
can find delight in It, The declaration
means simply nothing. An attempt to
legislate along that line would simply
! open the way to interminable wrang-
ling as to what constituted a reason
able profit. For hair-splitting OF,
wages in one industry. price of raw
materials in another, rebates and
drawbacks in third, and so OF
through the list of thousands of arti-
cles that are now on the tariff revis-
ion. at Bryan's direction, would servo
only to halt industrial and CONNER
cial progress and keep business unset
tied during his term of office"
Is 1t any wonder that Democrats all
over the country are laughing? II
shows how the Republican platform
looks to a Republican when the Re-
publican doesn't know that it is the
Republican platform. Mr.. Bryan says
that good many unfair things have
been said about him but nothing more
unfair than that said by Mr.. Rose
} water. He resents being accused If
using the language. and calls upon Mr..
Rosewater to apologize to his read
ers for the injustice done. But Mr..
Bryan says that Rosewater is right, IL
making fun of the language. He says
) he is right when he says that "nothirg
prettier i'll the catch all line has been
offered in this campaign and that tn.

THE CHURCH NOT IN POLITICS

sustained atteml.t is being made
to drag the religious question into
this political campaign. Hundreds Of
thousands Of copies " the appeal to
Reason" a Socialistic sheet, have been
distributed over the country. This is
sue contains an article calculated to
show that the Catholic Church is get
ting control Of the United States gov
ernnent. The article is headed, Be
trayed to the Romas. Hierarchy" 1t
prints long rigmarole about how the
Philippines were bought from the Pope
and then given back to him for favors
to the Republican machine. The ar
ticle goes on. to say t,at the clergy of
the Catholic Church are in alliance
! with the capitalists Of the country AID
working to keep Catholic workmen
under the control of capitalistic influ-
ence. The charge is made tina: the
Catholic Church is in league with the
oligarchy of wealth TO enslave work
ingmen forever.
Who is doing this work? 1t takes
money to print and distribute q, mil
lion copies Of even the appeal 10
Reason" There is an attack made on
Taft in the article. is this for the
purpose of leading readers to believe
that the move Is in FAVOR of Bryan
with a design to turn votes away from
Bryan? Certainly such an appeal to
religious rancor would in the end have
that effect. It looks like a crafty
move on the part of some one to help
Mr.. Taft, under the disguise Of appar-
emily attacking him. We thin.s it
would be we'll for both political par
ties to deny any connection with the
distribution Of this attack upon the
Catholic Church.
There is no need for the introduce
tion of the religious question into pol
itics in this country. There is NJ re.
lieious issue involved. Let the voters
OF the countryd decide political canl
paigns upon political issues. We have
quite an intimate knowledge Of the
work of the Catholic Church and en-
icy the acquaintance of a number Of
bishops and priests, and we say tho:
the Catholic Church is not now anG
never has been in politics in this cour-
try; that 1t is taking no part in trying
to influence the decision of this presi
dental election. Some Catholic ec-
clesiastics are for Taft and some are
for Bryan. They have right as citi-
zens. to their own political views, but
there is not a Catholic bishop or priest
l.: the whole United States who is to-
day using his pulpit Il. favor or against
ally candidate for political office. Can
this truthfully be said about other re-
ligious denominations? The mission of
the Catholic Church is not politics. 1t
succeeds in leaving politics alone and

Bisbee daily review., 1908-10-01

The executive committee Of the ter ritOriaI democratic committee was in session today at Phoenix for the pur- pose of planning for the remainder of the campaign of Mark Smith, the democratic candidate for congress. The democratic candidate has just completed his campaign in northern Arizona and recent information is to the effect that he has made good wherever he has addressed the peo- pie. He has boldly denounced those who would try to make it appear that he has ever neglected any of his du- ties as representative of Arizona MT. Smith will speak tomorrow in the cap ital city where he was never more popular than now He will go to Pinal county from Phoenix and then to Graham and Gila counties. His ap- pointments have been made up to the 18th on which date he will be at Saf- ford, the metropolis of the Gila val ley.

The congressional record IS full of the accomplishments of Mark Smith during his long and faithful service in that body, as the representative of Arizona. The people of Arizona have not forgotten the long and efficient fight made by Mark Smith against the joint statehood and if he had never accomplished single thing other than to make that successful fight for the people of the territory that alone should insure him the grati- tude of every true Arizonian and their enthusiastic support in this campaign.

body of agricultural land in Arizona. He has never, for one moment, relaxed his efforts to bring about this consum- nation so devoutly to be wished, and will yet succeed. These facts alone are sufficient to entitle him to the united support of our people. Par tisansbip should not outweigh grati- tude nor should it lead one to turn from public serVanr who has render ed faithful and efficient public service to an tIntried aspirant for office at a time when our political, industrial and commercial destiny is hanging in the balance at Washington.
 In this connection, we desire, in answer to carping and, apparently, ignorant critics, to mention a few other things done by Mark Smith for other portions of the Territory. Briefly stated, they are as follows:
 Defeated joint statehood. Secured the passage of several bills in the house for single statehood. Obtained an appropriation of s14O,0OO for a fed eral building at Phoenix. Had the White Mountain Indian reservation reduced and secured title for the sett- Iers of the town of McCIeIland. Ob- tained an additional justice for our supreme court Secured the passage of bill forfeiting the fraudulent Al. gondis land grant at Yuma and throwing the land open to homestead. CTS. Saved the cattlemen of the Ter. ritory hundreds of thousands of dol. lars, by securing the passage of law allowing stray cattle to be returned to the United States from Mexico free Of duty. Passed a law permitting prospectors to locate mineral claims on forest reserves. Secured title for 1 settlers on the Fort Lowell reserva. tion near Tucson. Passed a law re
 turning to settlers on double min, mum forfeited land grants one haIi they had paid for their lands. Passed
 a law requiring the government ,c refund to the several counties al moneys they had paid out in lrose- outing Indian offenders. Passc lill permitting the counties Of ArIzona to fund their debts and reduce the in terest paid one half. Did the same thing again for the territory. Secured the removal of the Papago IDdiaLi from the Gila river to reservation near Tucson. Passed law cxtopd- ing the time for making final proof in desert land entries. Passed dozen

bills permitting cities and counties to issue bonds for public improvements Passed an amendment to the Harri- Son act permitting towns of over 1000 inhabitants to exceed the Harrison limit of indebtedness, for fire and san itary purposes. Several times defeat ed the passage of bills legalizing the fraudulent railroad bonds issued by Pima county. These bonds were final Iy legalized while ex-Goy. N. o. Mur- phy, republican, was delegate to con gress and the taxpayers of Pima coun- ty will have to pay sS5O.OOO for rail road that was not constructed. Passed a bill apprOpriating s1O,OOO for levee at Yuma to protect the town against river floods. Passed a large number , of private pension bills for old sol diers. He forced the A. T. & s. F. to pay $l75 mile taxes which secures to Arizona counties and to the terri { tory SS5,OO0 annually. The board of supervisors wrote him that it would be satisfied with $125 and better $15O per mile. He refused and forced the sI75 per mile taxes to be paid before he would consent to a reorganization scheme which the railroad then had before congress. ...
 The above mentioned are only a few of the things Mark Smith has done for Arizona and her people dur ing his long service~in their behalf at Washington. The wonder is, not that he has not accomplished more. but that he has accomplished so much
 when We remember that a delegate tc congress from the territories has nc voice in the proceedings of that body
 His only privilege Is me right tc speak on any measure affecting the interests Of his territory and this priv
 lege, unless the delegate should be an orator of sufficient ability and force to command attention and re : spect, is yalueless. A delegate not pos sesSing the latter qualifications has nc more influence in shaping legislation than does mere locker on from the galleries. Mark Smiths success at the capital is due to his exceptional abil
 ity as a speaker and a striking per. sonality that commands and holds at
 tention, and also to his knowledge of law and questions of state. As we are at the threshhoid of statehood, fl platform promises are to be trusted

ANSWERS ARE PLENTIFUL FOR REPUBLICAN ROT.


 The question What Has Mark Done in Congress?" asked by the tonderfoot press of Arizona is recieving plenty of record answers these days, but the republican press are consistently re- fusing to print the record so that their readers might be informed of the truth concerning the accomplish ments of Mark Smith during his long years of service in congress, as the representative of Arizona. Here is a bunch of record answers given by Hon. Tom Weeden, editor of the Blade, published at Florence the me tropolis of Pinal county. Weeden has been in Arizona long before Mark Smith went to congress and he is a man who knows the history of Arizona and its public men. Answering the question of What Mark Smith Has Done?" NIT. weeden prints the follow ing in the Blade:
 Mark Smith has been an old and faithful friend to PinaI county and is entitled to the gratitude and sup port of her citizens. Away back in 1886, the present editor of the BLADE-TRIBUNE was editor and owner of the old Arizona Enterprise and was making strenuous fight, at that early date, to interest the gov ernment in the reclamation of the arid lands of the Casa Grande valley. In that year we went as delegate to the democratic territorial convention in which Mark Smith received his first nomination as delegate to congress. After his election we induced him to come to Florence and accompany us together with the late P R. Brady, to | the Butte canyon, later known as the Butte reservoir site After looking over the ground carefully, he became convinced of the great possibilities of the storage and reclamation system we were then advocating. and true to his promise, obtained from congress an appropriation of sf5,OOb to be ex- pended by the engineers of the geol- ogical survey in making soundings, stream measurements and contour surveys at Butte. This work was completed and was SO encouraging as to induce congress through the per. sistent efforts of MT Smith, to make a larger appropriation for contin- nance of the work at Riverside and San Carlos. With the data thus ob- tained Mr. Smith finally succeeded in interesting congress in She subject of national reclamation of the arid lands of the great vest. and the national irrigation act was the legitimate off spring of the Butte, Riverside and San Carlos official investigations.
