Are Not Issues.

Attorney General Wade H. Ellis, of Ohio, reputed
author of the republican PLATFORM with the assistance
of the administration and the candidate, has made
public reply to Mr.. Bryan's criticisms of the con-
vention for rejecting the proposed LaFollette min
orty report That is he replies to Bryans discussion
of the proposed ant-inunction plank and the anti
injunction plank that adopted by the convention
He stands by the plank that was adopted
But the interesting part of his reply is his arbitrary
dismissal of the other six proposed planks saying
that they in no issues before the people
at this time" They not just now because the
republican convention suppressed them. But by the
time the democratic national convention completes its
work they will be issues before the people Had La
Toilette sentiment prevailed in the convention
extensively it prevails out among the republican
voters, they would have been incorporated into the
issues declared by the republican convention.
The six rejected planks that not issues,
according to Mr. Ellis, related to publicity of
paign contributions to the physical valuation of rail-
road property to income tax to inheritance
tax to the election of senator's by direct vote
permanent tariff commission.
If the voice of the progressive republicanism ofhe
land had been needed by the convention these reject
ed planks would have been madea part ofthe platform
1t is the silence of the platform popular questions
that the party is complaining about, the party outside
the machine that directed the conclusions of the Chi
cagO convention.

cagO convention.

The New York World representing pretence of
democracy that is used the genuine article in the
dress parade columns of the republican press full
of rejoicing over the nomination Of William H. Taft
by the Chicago convention. 1t knows, too that Mr.
Taft is going to be elected bit of premonition that
is especially acceptable to the republican press bur
dened as it is with torturing doubt.
The World, conjuring with prophecy says:
William H. Taft will be the next president of the
United States-provided the democratic national
convention dominates William J. Bryan.
That the democratic convention will do its part in
giving free rein to the prophecy of the New York
paper, is the accepted evidence of the hour At the
close of the campaign the public will be able to de-
eide whether not it lays just claim to the preroga-
tives of the seventh son of the seventh son. What
says will not deter the convention from carrying
out the will of the constituency behind it.
In its rejoicing the picture of democratic de-
feat fresh from the brush of its pessimistic artist

terms that other reformer, Theodore Roosevelt

A Patriarch Gone.

The News, of St. George, Utah, gives an account
of the death of one of the patrarchs of Mormon
DOM d. D. Macarthur, who embraced the Mormon
belief as far back 1888 and participated in the
exodus from Nauvoo and the peri1ous journey across
the plains and the mountains to Salt Lake
Most of the original band have been gathered into
the hereafter and Mr.. Macarthur was among the last
OF the patrlarchal brethren of the Illinois settlement
The newspaper account of his death concludes
with the information that he leaves three wives ten
children thirtythree grand children and one great
grandchild, although it is said that Mornondom is
complying with the specifications of the amnesty
proclamation and the promise of the saints to aban-
don polygamous living.
1t is further asserted by the newspaper that che
died as he lived, faithful Latter Day saint, firm
convinced of the divinity of his religion and in the
hope of a glorious resurrection" The three wives

means the end of the Roosevelt reign of terror and

Even Andrew Johnson in his periods of sobriety,
had more innate respect for the office ITSELF for its
traditions and for appearances than Mr.. Roosevelt
has shown Never before there such lawless

One can readily fathom the motive of The World
in extending its support to Mr. Taft after witnessing
its manifestations of disoyalty to Mr.. Bryan and
Mr. Roosevelt 1t expects that the ministrations of
Mr. Taft president will clear from the pathway of
its client the interests the distractions there placed
by Mr.. Roosevelt while Mr.. Bryan looked on and
applauded.
1t would be as willing to have Mr.. Bryan as Mr..
Roosevelt, or Mr.. Roosevelt as Mr. Bryan in the

gresham Pollard spoke here last night.
The hall was completely filled and the

restored to the commission the authority to
fix rates, which it was supposed it had

ENLARCINC WESTERN LEAGUE

OFFERS TO topeka AND WICHITA
Towns Anxious to Change Leagues
but Last Year Others in Circuit
Refused 10 sanction the
Transfer.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 2l.-(Special
Telegram.)-Tlat the Western league mas
not given up the idea of expanding was
made evident when Norris L. Grip ONeill
arrived in Kansas City and opened nego-
tiations with President Shively of the
Western association for the acquisition OF
the Topeka and Wichita franchises of the
Shlvely league. ONeill has with him a
sum of money said to be 5000. which he
claims he is authorized to spend for the
purpose of making his league, an eight
club circuit. O'Neill has placed the money
in the hands Of an attorney who will pro-
duce it as an evidence of good faith at
next Saturdays annual meeting of the
Western association, which is cheduled to
take place at the Baltimore hotel, here.
At a conference held today, George Tc-
beau, owner Of the Denver Western league
tam, d. NJ. Shivly, president Of the West
ern association and Frank Isbell, owner
of the Wichita club, talked the matter
over with President O'Ncill. o
President Shively said tonight that ne
had no authority to dispose of the Topeka
and Wichita franchises. He said the mat
ter would probably be threshcd out AZ
Saturdays meeting. If a majority of the
club owners of the Western association
agree to accept the price O'Neill is willing
to pay, the two cities will be transferred.
Both Topeka and Wichita wished TO
break into the Western league last year.
but the owners Of the six other clubs of
the Western association refused to sane

with being implicated in the murder of
Tony Ganova last week, was formally
placed under arrest this afternoon and
taken to the county Jail. He is a little
more disposed to talk than at first and now
