BRILLIANT TRIBUTE TO W. J. BRYAN,

We go with all the greater confidence
because we follow the leadership of one
whose like has rarely been seen in this
or any other land. Twice defeated for
the high office of President, relegated
by his enemies to obscurity, with the
boast that never again would he be
able to attract passing comment in a
news column, he stands today the fore
most citizen of the greatest nation on
earth. Without the power of patronage
or wealth, by the mere force Of his gen.
ius and the dynamic power of being
right, he has shaped the policies of the
country. He forced his victorious adj
versaries to abandon the platform on
which they had been successful and
adopt the principles of those whom
they defeated. Today, without regard
to party affiliation, eighty million peo-
pie revere him as the model citizen of
the republic; a man of the Hottest char
acter and patriot of purest purpose.
He is, / confidently believe, the best
beloved man that walks the globe.
From the hearts of all who love liberty
and hate oppression, there is going up
today a prayer that will swell into !
pean of thanksgiving when the wires
next November carry to every hamlet
the glad tidings that William ]. Brysh
has been elected President of the
United States.

REPUBLICANS ATTEST THE SEVERITY
OF BUSINESS DEPRESSION.

A recent Republican Secretary of the
Treasury has said: .-Ihe- stTiageHey-ef
1907 is generally conceded to have been
the severest the world has ever wit
messed" And on August Goth last. at
Centerville, Iowa, Mr. Shonts president
OF great railroad system, the man Sc
lected by Mr. Roosevelt as the one best
htted to perform the greatest task of
the century, the building of the Isthmian
Canal, made the following statement:
We have before us an illustration
OF what even temporary cessation
OF the transportation development of
the country means. A year ago
there were I,675,ooo railroad employees
IN active service, and they received
nearly $I,Ioooooooo in wages during
the year, according to statistics col
lected by the government. Fully one
quarter of these men are now idle at
loss in wages approximating ST.
100000 for every working day. A
year ago the railroads were spending
-St25o,ooo,ooo for supplies; now they
are spending not more than $5oo,ooo,-
900. This means falling off in rail-
road expenditures of 100000 day,
and it is impossible to accurately state
the number of men in forests, mines
and factories who have been thrown
out of employment by the shrinkage
of the demand for equipment and
supplies, but they are numbered by
the tens of thousands"
If this be true as to a single industry.
we may well imagine that were the facts
known as to the entire country the ma
ton would be shocked at the dis
closures.
Mr.. Samuel Gompers estimates that
100000 men today are seeking jobs.
The closed shop and the open soup
house are this year threatening Repub-
lican supremacy, instead of furnishing
the climax for Republican oratory.

HADLEY BACKS DOWN ON FEDERAL
COURTS.

Some months ago, if one might
Judge from the utterances accredited
to him by the press, Mr. Hadley was
very much inclined to this democratic
doctrine, but now that his party has
announced its policy, VIE hear nothing
more from him along that line. If he
believes in this preservation of the
States rights, and honestly desires to
see it put in force, he should announce
his preference for the election of a
democratic Legislature that will send
to the Senate of the United States a
man in harmony with this great prin-
clple, and the election of democratic
congressman to maintain it in the
popular branch of the Federal Assem-
bly,. But perhaps Mr.. Hadley has
seen a new light upon this issue, as
he has on other questions. We were
told through the columns of the Mis-
souri, press just before the gathering
OF the convention at Chicago that Mr..
fladley was on his way to that great
body armed with a resolution de-
handing that the Federal courts no
longer usurp the jurisdiction of the
states, and that the cause of men who
labored be protected from the too
liberal use of the injunctive process.
We were told that the Missouri dele
cation had already decided he should
be its member on the platform COM
mittee in order that he might press
these resolutions, but when Chicago
was reached and Mr.. Hadley had op-
portunity to confer with the leaders
of his party, we were informed he
would yield his place on the platform
committee to Senator Warner, and
when the time approached for a dis
cussion of these issues on the floor,
his place was taken by Nelson Crews,
his colored alternate from Kansas
City.

duties that foreign countries are now
putting upon US, our home market
would be free from the domination
OF the destroying trust, wages would
be increased and cost of living re-
duced, and every branch of industry
would take on new life and activity.
Nothing has added so greatly to the
concentration of wealth in few hands
as the operation of the tariff law and
the growth of the trusts it has neces-
sarily created. The great distinction
between democratic and republican
policies is this: Whatever mistake
democracy may have made. it has al
ways firmly stood opposed to special
privileges, and whatever virtues re-
publicanism may have possessed it
has always stood for favors to special
classes. As long as this great prin-
ciple stands as the line of differentia-
ton between the parties, there can
be no question as to where lies the in
terest of the masses.

WHERE DOES HADLEY sTAND7

We have today a similar situation in
st. Louis county. Here local Republi-
can officials are charged with having
refused to enforce the law, and at the
command of the Governor the Attor-
ney-General is cndeavoring to have the
courts perform the duty of the local
constabulary. This Republican platform
is deliberate piece of double dealing,
promising in one plank to the people
of the country that the saloons shall
he closed, and in the next promising
the people of the city they may keep
them open. | demand of Mr.. Hadley
that he either repudiate his home rule
plank or admit to the people of this
State he does not propose to enforce
the law as to the closing of the saloon
on Sunday. Is it possible that since
the published interview to which | have
referred Mr.. Hadley's sentiments have
changed, or were his views modified to
meet the wishes of Mr.. Otto Stiefel, a
prominent ST. Louis brewer, and Mr..
Charles Nagel, the national Republican
committeeman, general counsel for the
greatest brewery in the State, whom we
are told by the press helped to shape
the issues for this campaign?
Like the platform of their party in
the nation, the platform of the Repub-
lican party in the State is as noticeable
for the things it omits as the things it
includes. They denounce the Sena-
torial primary law, but fail to announce
they favor any plan giving to the peo-
pie the right to elect their Senator's by
direct vote. Under this Senatorial pri-
mary law. democracy has given to the
people as nearly as it may be done under
the present Constitution of the United
States, a direct vote for the election OF
Senator, and we favor such change
in the Constitution as will give this
privilege to the people.

STRONG WORDS FOR FELLOW NoMI.
NEES.

Hastily and imperfectly I have at
tempted to trace the issues of this cam
paign. In conclusion, | wish to say for
my associates upon this ticket that
democracy has never presented better,
men to the voters of the State. They
are each and all gentlemen of the high
est character, able to worthily fill the
positions for which they have been
chosen.
Supported by such ticket, relying
upon the business of our cause and the
intelligence of the constituency to
which we appeal, we go forth to meet
the enemy confident of victory.

GUARANTEE OF BANK DEPOSITS.

The guaranteeing by the State of de-
posits in the banks has become ques-
ton of absorbing interest. The action
of the banks during the recent panic,
when they were compelled to suspend
the paying out of cash, alarmed the
people. The recommendation by the
President for the establishment Of a
Postal Savings Bank system has alarm
ed the banker. The most important
function of the modern bank Is to keep
the money of the country circulating

NO MORE OF LOOTED SCHOOL FUND

The Republicans no longer raise the
cry of a looted school fund or bogus
school certificates. After four years
possession of the books, they have been
compelled to admit that charge was
false and libelous, and by their silence
they now confess that OF the more
than $Iooyooo,ooooo of State funds
which have passed through Democratic
hands since 1873 not a single dollar
was ever lost to the treasury OF the
State. Were they candid with the pub
lie, they would admit the school GER
ti6cate is as good as the bond of the
United States, and that it yearly yields
to the school fund three times as much
in interest as would be received were
those funds now invested in accord
ance with former Republican demands

Els life worth living? ?"-'tis the cry OF
one whose eyes are dim;
Who strives in vain to pierce the veil

Soft comes an answer through the

No M0z,ey--NO Paper

The postoffice department has issued an
order compelling weekly newspapers to dis
continue papers going to subscribers who are
more than one year in arrears The first
order was made to take effect January l.
1908, but afterwards changed to April l,
1908, in order that publishers could have an
opportunity to collect and get their lists in
proper condition.
In the month of January, 1908, all of our
subscribers We're notified as to the status of
their subscriptions, at which time we request
ed all to pay up arrearages and in advance to
January l, 1909. Nearly three fourths of our
subscribers complied with this very reasonable
request The names of all subscribers who
are one year or more in arrears will be
dropped from our subscription list with this
ISSUE and all financial differences that are not
adjusted by May l, 1908, will be placed for
collection. This rule will apply to all without
distinction Forewarned is forearmed. 1t

same lodge or the same political party, if you
are one year or more in arrears your paper
will be stopped with this issue We are very
much averse to stopping any ones paper, and
we are likewise very much averse to violat-
ing any postofhce ruling made by Uncle Sam
We can't afford to, and as sefpreservaton is
the first law of nature whatever Uncle Sam

FACTS ABOUT NEW THEORY
 SECURED BY INTERVIEWS
People Tell the Reason for Their E,;4.
 COOper's Belief.

An article from the Nashville, Tenn, Banner, published during L. T. Coop CTS visit to that city, throws some light on the remarkable success of the young mans theories and medicines in various cities visited by him during the past year. The article Is as fol- lows:
 In view of the enormous sale of Cooper's preparations now going on in this city and the intense interest which MT. Cooper has stirred up since his arrival, a representative of the Banner spent Thursday afternoon at the young mans headquarters, watch ing the swarm of humanity come and go.
 During the afternoon the reporter interviewed many of the callers and obtained statements from all who cared to give them as to their expe- rience with Cooper and his prepara- tions
 The following are selected from those statements as being typical of the general expression of the people seen:
 MT. B. B. Lasater, living at 1924 North Fourth avenue, when inter- viewed, said: I have been troubled with my stomach for the past two years, and have had rheumatism for more than five years. Sometimes could not walk, and there were times when l could not even move in bed. Hard knots would form on my mus cles. which caused me intense pain Gas formed on my stomach after eat ing. which gave me much pain and distress, and often I was restless and tossed all night, losing much sleep and rest.
 Hearing of MT. Cooper and the great work his medicine was accom-.
