Vague and Dangerous Theorist.

While sitting in Denver, watching the
convention, we jotted down the opinion
that Mr.. Bryan's best hope for election
lay In retiring to the bottom Of the
Pacific and allowing not a single bubble
to escape. Since that time he has
talked a great deal about the best way
of regulating trusts; he has made a
special slogan of the Oklahoma patent
medicine banking plan he, the vision
airy, has claimed TO be heir to the prac-
teal Roosevelt he has been desper-
ately involved in an encounter with
that almost invincible politician: and
he has cast false aspersions on the in
tegrity Of the governor of New York.
Too many bubbles have escaped. What

WHY GERMANS FAVOR TAFT.
Believe Bryan Theories are Menace
to Business,

The German is, as a rule, a good
business a He believes in the gold
standard-whicE Bryan does not he
believes In protection for American in
~dustry-which Bryan does not he be-
lieves In expanding the money Of the
government for the benefit Of all the
people, In the rural free delivery, the
irrigation Of arid lands, the preserva-
tion and utilization Of our forests, the
Improvement of agriculture and other
great public services which Bryan, &C.
cording to the political platform which
he has subscribed, regards as "unneces-
sary and wasteful."
The prospect that Bryan would be
nominated drew bitter protests from
leading Germans and German newspa-
pers, including the newspaper con-
trolled by Ridder, the present Demo
cratic campaign treasurer. who de-
clared that he would never support the
advocate of free silver and Reputation
and Of other vagaries offensive to the
sound judgment and honest character
Of German-Americans. The fact that
Mr.. Ridder has seer ft to change his
attitude toward the candidate whose
nomination he regarded as equivalent
defeat does not mean that there has
been any general desertion on the part
OF German Americans from the prin-
ciples of sound money and Of protetc-
tion for American industry. Citizens
OF German origin, Democrats as well as
Republicans, throughout the United
States, are for Taft and the policies
which Taft represents.
The Germans common n tells
him that Bryan is a menace to bust
ness; that his political schemes are
visionary and impracticable, and that
he depends for his only substantial sup
port upon a form OF class hatred tend
ing to undermine and break down
American institutions.

Publicity Under Suspicion.

The list of contributions Of 500 and
more to the Democratic campaign fund,
published with so much ostentation at
the request Of Mr.. Bryan, has no aft
davit attached to it. Neither Chairman
Mack nor Treasurer Ridder was sworn
for the matter of that, ex-Treas-
urer Haskell, who turned in some col
lectiCns before he was made to walk the
PLANK. Therefore the list may not be
complete, and as published it is cer-
tainly not compromising, unless the ST.
coo check of Charles ]. Hughes, a lead
ing corporation attorney of Denver,
should put Mr.. Bryan on the defensive.

Hughes Not Hurt by Bryan

Mr.. Bryan does not appear to advan-
tage In assailing Governor Hughes for
his veto of the two-cent fare bin. He
insinuates that this is evidence OF the
governors strong leaning to the side of
the corporations as against the people,
while as a matter of fact 1t is nothing
of the kind. The two-cent fare bill
was vetoed simply because the state
was adopting the policy Of railroad rate
regulation through commissions with
mandatory powers. 1t would have been
the height of inconsistency to create
commissions to regulate fares and then
have the legislature itself and Mt the
same time assume the Junction.

Bishop w. f. Oldham, head OF the
Methodist Episcopal church in South

dressed Chicago Methodist ministers
yesterday morning in the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church, Washington anu
Clark streets, and made an eloquent
plea TO those present to do what they
can to prevent a change in the admin
istration in the Philippines. To do this,
he said, it would be incumbent upon
them to stand by the party in power.
do not subject us to demagogic ex-
periments in the Philippines said he.
Every missionary in the islands is add
ing his plea to mine. Our missionaries
are giving their life to the work and
the wonderful progress they have made
in the last four years, during which the
membership in the Methodist church
has increased from 1000 to $4,000,
shows the beneficial effect of the adj
ministration, as directed at present.
IF the candidate of n party is the
peerless one the leader Of the other
is the fearless one and We want the
fearless one. The presence OF old glory
has had much to do with our success in
the Philippines, where we nave made
more converts in the last four years
than we have in the entire Chinese en-
pire in twenty-four years"

ORDERS III TAFT is ELECTED.
Travelling Man Says He Has Taken
Many Such in the Last Few
Weeks,

Weeks.
Talk to the effect that the travelling
men, or any considerable proportion OF
them, will vote this year for Bryan Is
tommyrot," declared Il. r. Travis Of
Kansas City in the lobby of the Loyal
Hotel, at Omaha. IF Bryan gets 20
per cent of the commercial travellers
vote he will do a good deal better than
| expect. Practically all the men in our
line are Republicans in the first plaA
and believe in Republican principles.
In the second place, all of them know
full well that they will get precious few
orders If Bryan should win. This Is
not so much because Mr.. Bryan could
do any great harm himself, for he could
carry none of his wild schemes into
effect, but because business men are so
afraid of him.
If he, by any miracle, should get in
things would shut down absolutely for
a year. Everyone would be afraid Of
his neighbor; would think, and think
rightly, that Brown and Smith and
Jones would be afraid. 1t is exactly
the same principle that causes run on
a bank, Many intelligent depositors are
not afraid of the bank which has ample
resources, but they are afraid that their
fellow depositors will be afraid and so
they hurry down to get in line.
Il have had many orders lately sub
ject 10 Taft's election. This was a pure
business contract and not designed to
influence me. People simply won't be
able to swing the goods if Bryan is the
victor. This is not politics. 1t is busi-

The October number of the steam Shovel and Dredge" explains a fol-
lows why Mr.. Taft al made a honorary member Of the International Broth
erhood Of Steam Shovel and Dredge Men
As the members of our organization are well aware, Mr. Taft W a made
an honorary member of our Brotherhood in recognition OF his fairness to our
members In all his dealings since he has been Secretary of War. He had
direct charge of the construction Of the Panama Canal the greatest engi-
neering work Of modern times, and in all his official acts and personal rha-
lions with members and officers of our Brotherhood on that work he has al
ways shown himself fair and just
When contractors on government work showed a disposition to disregard
or violate the EightIIour Law, Mr. Taft started prosecutions against these
contractors through the United States Attorney Generals Office.
When a effort was made this year to cut wages at Panama, Mr.. Taft
used his influence to prevent it, for his knowledge of conditions on the
Isthmus convinced him that the prevailing wages we're at least fair and
just and that there should be II o reduction in pay IN that work. Since Mr..
Taft has been Secretary of War he has had a great many dealings with or

The Law Violated.

In some sections Of Kentucky the
people are very much incensed over
the presence of UNLIMITED soldiers"
and certainly they have a right to be,
and it is proper thst they should con-
denim this unnecessary activity on the
part of the States militia. The send
ing of soldiers throughout Kentucky
in such a promiscuous and reckless
manner intensifies, rather than dimin-
ishes, the feeling Of unrest. Besides,
the departure is very dangerous one.
Under no circumstances should troops
lie sent into a county without a re-
quest to the Governor from the civil
authorities of that county. Indeed,
it is a violation of both the letter and
tie spirit of the law to dispatch armed
soldiers to a county without such a
request, and persons causing this to
be done are violators of the law.
Such tactics, if very extensively
employed, will visit upon the Slate
disasters ten-fold more detrimental
than night-riderisms, II is p direct
and powerful blow at individual
liberty, and it would very shortly
pit nge the State into civil war.
If we are to have law and order in
Kentucky, all laws must be respect
ed and observed.-[Springfield Sun.
