NOT BY WORDS ALONE.

The weaknesses of the Republican
party do not escape Mr.. Bryan's eye, or
his keen-tempered phrases. The DEM
ocratic party, however, has it's weak
nesses too, and these Mr. Bryan seems
to think may be kept out of sight by
the simple device of his refusal to dis
cuss them. He is ready to hold up to
view the mistakes and failures of the
Republican party, but, because they do
not happen to be mentioned in the
Democratic platform, he decides not to
regard as among the issues of the cam
paign the mistakes and the failures of
the Democratic party. The fact that
Mr.. Bryan ignores them. however, will
not prevent the people of the country
from remembering them. 1t will not
prevent them from pacing beside the
name of the Republican Hanna the
name of the Democratic Tom Taggart;
beside the. Republican Blaine the DEM
ocratic Whitney; beside the Republi-
can Hartman, the Democratic Ryan;
beside the Republican Quay and Odell
the Democratic German and "Fingey''
Corners; beside the Republican Reed
and Fairbanks the Democratic Crisp
and Parker; beside the Republican
Crumpacker the Democratic Tillman,
Vardaman and jeff Davis; beside the
Republican Dingley bill the Demo-
cratic Wilson-Gorman bill; and it will
not prevent them from comparing the
achievements Of Mr.. Bryan with the
achievements of Mr.. Taft. People are
no more willing to judge mans poll
tics than to judge his religion by what
he processes. And when man at
tacks the record Of an opposing party,
his own career and the record Of his
own party are fairly before the people
for examination.-Outl

The Republican voters Of this county
will have two good men to choose from
for the Probate Judgeship in the per-
sons of j. w. Shields and j. Benjamin
Hall of this city. Both men have many
friends in the county and both have
splendid records as lawyers. Judge
Shields has been on the tract for near
ly four years and has, during that
time, proved that he is good citizen
in every respect and man fully COM
petent to fill the Office of probate Judge.
Mr.. Hall, while of shorter residence
upon the tract, has proved that in le-
gal matters he is a shrewd and keen
lawyer, while in matters of public in
terest he has shown purpose to stand
for a square deal for one and all.

One Of the strange things in connec-
ton with politics is the fact that no
matter how dishonest and incompetent
an official or set of officials can be
while In discharge Of their duties, is
the serenity with which the same men
can come out the next election and ask
for the voters support-and, stranger
still-can get it. nine times out of ten.
But such condition should not pre-
vail. II an office-holder has wilfully
neglected his duties and not filled the
office with credit to himself and with
benefit to the county, he is in a poor
position to ask for anything the sec
ond time. If, on the other hand, it is
established that he is incompetent to
hold office, because of his manifest
lack OF backbone, demonstrated in one
term of office, he should not expect the
voters to continue his kindergarten
course at the county's expense.

The disgusting habit of splitting on
the sidewalk is getting so prevalent in
this city that some action will be
necessary on the part Of the council to
do away with the nuisance. Ladies
can hardly walk down the street at
present without sweeping up lot OF
filth with their skirts and sometimes
have hard work to avoid the streams OF
tobacco juice as it energies from the
mouths of some of the street loafers
who do nothing but expectorate all
day long.

JAPAN AND KOREA,

Conflicting advices continue to come
from Korea regarding Japanese rule
there. We learn from one source of
information that the Japanese have de-
clared their intention of making good
the losses of the Russian war in ex-
plotting profitably the Korean gold,
copper. and iron mines, the timber
trade on the Yalu river, the fisheries
off the Korean coasts, the yields of
rice, barley, peas and beans, and, fin
ally, the new railway, telegraph, and
telephone concessions. From these
avenues of wealth, foreigners, we learn,
are to be excluded; the editor of the
Korea Review declares that Jajan is
now putting her goods into Korea, duty
free, in direct violation of her treaty
obligations. The author of the latest
book on Korea also declares, after per-
sonal investigation, that prisoners are
still chained together in conditions of
unspeakable filth and degradation. On
the other hand. we have the official
statements of Prince Ito, japanese
resident general in Korea, declaring
the intention of Japan TO govern Korea
in accordance with the most enlight-
ened standards. We also have the
statement of DR.. Ladd, until recently
Prince Itos adviser. II am only citing
the words of the American business
man longest on the ground, Mr.. Town
send, of Chemulpo, when I say that
foreigners who are seeking to do legi-
innate business in Korea are amply
satisfied with the opportunities under
the Japanese protectorate." 1t is true,
however, that there is still great dejec-
ton throughout Korea. This was to
be expected; for in business, politics,
and education, corruption has been the
common note. In the schools an oc
casional scandal lifts the cover and re-
veals the terrible condition Of i'm
morality still existing among the stu
dents; the helplessness Of the teachers
was never before more apparent. AS
to politics, prefectural assemblies have
been completely disorganized, owing
to the arrest and Imprisonment OF
many of their members for accepting
brides in connection with public works
While few Japanese political agents
in Korea, and the many Japanese cool
les who have swarmed thither, have
not been distinguished by any very
great moral purpose, while they have
pandered to Korean degeneracy ant
bullied Korean helplessness, yet two
recent incidents indicate the genera
purpose Of those In supreme authorit.
to administer the country for the bes
interests of the people. First. the Jap
anese have now paid all the Koreans
who lost land when the railways wer'
constructed, and thus much money ha
been put into the country as well a

The Times believes that the primary
election law, inaugurated by the Re-
publican party In this county, is al
ready bearing fruit in an increased
1iNerest on the part of the rank and
file OF the party. Heretofore the few
party men have had the say as to the
candidates and the people have shown
but little interest. This fact has been
due entirely to the fac, that in the ordi-
nary caucus the voice of the people
was drowned beneath the shouts and
manipulation of the established ma
chine. The direct primary has effect
,nally turned the power of selection
over to the voter and has given each
elector an equal voice in the selection
OF candidates. In this county greater
number than ever have announced
their candidacy for the various offices
and an active campaign is in progress
with chance for the voter to pick
the best from the running. The Times
believes that when the party took the
initiative 1t did more to bring pure
politics into prominence than any 9TH
er reform. 1t also believes in giving
credit where 1t is due and believes that
the voters of the county have Attorney
f. A. Hutto to thank for the primary
system. 1t was through his fight al
the Buhl convention that the party
went on record for the new system.

additional evidence of good faith. More
important still is the appointment of
Judge Watanabe as the head of the
Judicial department in Korea. Judge
Watanabe is not only an eminent law
yer, but is one of the most active and
a Presbyterian, and has been the presi-
dent of the Yokohama Young Mems
Christian ociation-Outlook.

WALSH TRIAL
IS NOW READY
FOR ARGUMENT

Chicago, Jan 10-With the conclu-
sion this afternoon of the cross and
redirect examination of John R. Walsh
the taking of testimony in the long
drawn out case against the former
bank president was practically COM
pleted Arguments on the evidence
will begin Monday and it is thought
that the case will be given to the
jury before the close of next week.
Reafirming and reiterating today
that his first concern in all the trans
actions between himself, his banks
and his various enterprises, had al
ways been the welfare of the Chi
cago National bank, the defendant wit
ness came through the ordeal Of cross
examination without retracting word
of his initial declaration. He made
admissions which were regarded by
the prosecution as compromising to
his plea of innocence, but he main
tanned to the last that the interests of
his bank were always protected to
the best of his judgment.
One of the admissions forced from
him by the searching Interrogation of
Assistant District Attorney Dobyns
was that the memorandum notes, the
Importance of which had been empha-
sized by the prosecution, were not a
record of loans to persons whose
names appeared on the notes. On the
other hand he declared that the unse-
cured loans which the government had
produced as evidence of alleged bad
faith, were regarded by him as his
personal liabilities to the bank, even
when advanced to others and that
the event OF his death his estate would
have been sold for their payment. He
declared further that the investments
OF the Chicaso National bank in the
securities of the Walsh railroads were
