BRYAN STANDS BY OLD ISSUES

Conservative Democrats are being
told that Colonel Bryan has dropped
all the old radical issues upon which
he has been defeated in the past; but
this is what he said after the last cam
paign:
'I have made no attempt to conceal
my views on the money question.

on silver to necome President. I might

An example Of Mr.. Bryan's wisdom
and craftsmanship is found in an ut
July 8. 1892. when he arose in his place
and said:
"Mr. Speaker, I believe in a suffi-
cient navy; we have this now either in
existence or in construction: we do
not need more" The American peo-
pie took his advice-in the usual wa,>
and promptly doubled the size Of the

STATE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT
Splendid Record Under Republican
Administration.

N1tIllrlsIrdtlOn.
The State Insurance Department is
one of the most important at the state
capitol. II represents the first attempt
Of the people to regulate corporations.
II has been in existence for twenty
five years. but IT has only been for the
past two or three years that any at
tempt has been made to strictly and
vigorously supervise the insurance
companies doing business in Colorado
The Importance of the work of the
department can be appreciated by the
fact that there are 10000 policies or
death certificates now outstanding in
the state, not to mention people who
carry fire and other forms of insur-
ance. This means that the policy hold
ers and their direct beneficiaries in
this state number easily 500, 900 people.
The insurance department under
takes the gigantic task of seeing that
the legacies which the insurance com
panies promise these people shall be
paid. 1t also undertakes to prevent
the operation of fake insurance com
panies and schemes. and to eliminate
dishonest agents as fast as they can
be discovered by revoking their H.
censes.
The success of the insurance de-
partment under the present Republi-
can administration in driving out ire
sponsible and fraudulent insurance
companies and schemes is not only
well-known throughout the state, but
has attracted attention throughout the
United States.
Colorado insurance laws passed at
the last session by the Republican
legislature were drawn up by Commits
sioner f. +. Rittenhouse and have so
successfully stood the analysis of en-
inent lawyers and the tests of the
courts that these laws are known
throughout the country as the Colo
rado Model Code" But these splendid
laws would be of no value if they were
not enforced. To enforce rigid super
visory laws over great corporations is
not always an easy thing to do because
such violators of the state laws or reg
ulations have immense sums of mon
ey available to fight the commissioner
who undertakes such enforcement, in
the courts and even in politics.
The State Insurance Department has
not only protected policyholders and
the honest agents from irresponsible
concerns, but it has compelled the re-
sponsible and solvent companies to
practice proper methods in Colorado.
Furthermore. the Colorado Insurance
Department has invited every citizen
OF the state who has grievance, or
thinks he has, against an insurance
company. or an insurance agent. in the
settlement or adjustment of a claim to
to have it investigated. This has en-
tailed an enormous amount of work,
but it has proven great boon and SER
vice to poor people who have not been
able to employ lawyers to tell them
what their rights were under their con-
tracts. which as a rule are very compli-
Gated.
There is not another insurance de.
partment in the country that has the
courage to advertise for trouble and
extra work Of this kind.
The insurance department has been
operated. and will continue to be op-

NEW SCHEME FOR /
 GETTING A DRINK

Atlanta, September 13.-(Special.)- A new scheme for getting a drink has been evolved in Atlanta. There are dentists here, as there are no doubt elsewhere, whose strong compassion for suffering humanity induces them to keep on hand a supply of soothing spirits which they deal out to patients in two or three finger doses when a tooth is to be extracted or particu- larly painful job is to be done.
 An Atlanta man who had exhausted his resources for acquiring another drink or two, and who just had to have it, wandered into a densits's office the other day and said he wanted a tooth pulled. The dentist obligingly gave him drink before the operation. He had other teeth that hurt him, he said, and before he got through he had had four teeth extracted in exchange for which he had acquired four drinks.
 When he finally came to the next day he found the front of his face had sunk in. The dentist had him charged up with dollar a drink for pulling the teeth, and when he gets through making the plate to replace the teeth there is no telling what the drinks will finally have cost him.
 The Atlantan in question denies that he went to the dentists for the pur- pose of getting the drinks, and de- clares that the teeth just had to come out anyway.

GOOD EFFECTS OF
 PURE FOOD LAW

Atlanta, September 1s.-(special)- 1.-The department of agriculture of Georgia has just issued bulletin gotten up by Dr. R. E. Stallings, state chemist, on foods and commercial foodstuffs in spected and analysed in the state of Georgia up to June 1, 1908, showing the excellent work done by Food Inspector P. A. Methvin.
 In his report to Commissioner Hudson pr. Stallings says: The work in the laboratory during the last few months has shown conclusively that there was an enormous amount of adulterated ar ticles on the market; it shows that our state has been a veritable dumping ground for manufacturers of impure goods. Since this department has taken up the matter the condition of affairs has undergone a revolution, the good effects produced by the law have dem- onstrated its usefulness" !
 Continuing, this report says: '"The total past ten months aggregate $2,102,71 These figures do not take into account the large amount of cotton seed meal that has been used for feed purposes. Since the enforcement of the law relat- ing to feedstuffs began, the quality of feeds had constantly improved During this time many carloads, aggregating many hundred tons of feed, have been found to be adulterated. They were seized by order of this department and were shipped from the state.''
 This report concludes with the state ment: Cotton seed meal, when good quality, is one of the best and cheapest feeds on the market"
 From this report it is seen that the time is not far distant when Georgia farmers will be able to get all the by products necessary for feed use on their farms through the products raised there on; it will no longer be necessary to import from the west hfgh-priced, low grade feeds, if he will come to realize that the best as well as the cheapest to be found is that which is the by.. product of the south's wonderful cotton seed It will mean saving Tn money and increase in results. The pure food law, of Georgia is working wonders iowa. 4 bringing Georgia into It's own.

ATTACKS MADE ON
 CANDIDATE BROWN Georgia Papers That Supported Smith Are Aggressive z BROWN MAKES DEFENSE The Democratic Nominee for Governor States That He Is Sure of Success
 of Bryan and Kern Ticket
 In the Election.
BROWN MAKES DEFENSE

Atlanta, September 1S.-(Special) )-The attitude of certain state papers which supported Governor Smith in the recent campaign, toward the nominee for gover. nor, Hon. Joseph M. Brown, Is attracting considerable comment.
 Day after day they are edltorially att tacking him, and indulging in sarcastic filings, expressing doubt as to his democ- racy and sometimes insinuating that he is the representative of corporate interests, and then concluding with a half-hearted and perfunctory statement that, of course. those who participated in the primary should support the nominee, and almost adding, whether they like it or not
 The chief ground upon which these at tacks appear to have been based is that MT. Brown did not permit himself to be forced into answering their categorical questions which were designed to cast Sur upon his democracy. He showed that he had never in his life voted any other than the democratic ticket, and that a man nominated by a democratic convention would be little less than renegade if
 
 convention, among whom are 1S demo- cratic presidential electors.
 The other day MT. Brown came out in an interview in which he said that recent events have convinced him more than ever of the excellent chance for the sue cess of Bryan and Kern, and that he felt no doubt that the national democratic nominees uould raaaiva an bal n majority in Georgia. In another card he stated that to question his democracy was about as reasonable as to question his be- lief in immersion. he being a deacon in the Baptist church.
 This does not appear to have satisfied MT. Browns detractors, and the editorial attacks continue.
 All of which, 1t has been pointed out, is affording no little encouragement to the independent movement which is conduct ing campaign for the political control of Georgia, the like of which has never before been witnessed in the history of the state.
 The independence aggregation gathered here Friday night and made the occasion of notifying John Temple Graves of his nomination for vice president an oppor- tunity for boosting the independent can didate for governor, W. Yancey Carter.
 The money for the conduct of MT. Car ter's campaign Is coming from some- where, and it seems to be plentiful.
 The independents have based their hopes almost entirely upon disaffection as the result of Governor Smiths defeat. While there is little likelihood of their success, there Is no doubt about the fact that they are getting abundant encouragement from the attitude of some of the newspapers which were strongest in the governors support.

can only be done by destroying all modern business; but he will in practi cal fashion do everything possible to secure such efficient control, on behalf of the people as a whole, over these great combinations as will deprive them of the power to work evil. MT Taft's decision In the Addystone Pipe Line case while on the bench is proof, by deeds not by words, of the far sighted wisdom with which he serves the interests of the whole people even when those of the most powerful cor porations are hostile thereto.
 If there is one body of men more than another whose support I feel I have a right to challenge on behalf of Secretary Taft it Is the body of wage-workers of the country. A stauncher friend, a fairer and truer representative, they cannot find within the borders of the United States. He will do everything in his power for tn em except to do that which is wrong; he will do wrong for no man, and therefore can be trusted by all men. During the 10 years of my intimate acquaintance with him, since I have myself, as governor and President, beeu obliged to deal practically with labor problems, he has been one of the men upon whose judgment and aid I could always rely in doing everything possi- ble for the cause of the Wegc-worker, of the man who works with his hands, or with both hands and head.
 Mir. Taft has been attacked because of the injunctions he delivered while on the bench. I am content to rest his case on these very inJuctions; maintain that they show why all our people should be grateful to him and should feel 1t safe to entrust their dearest interests to him. Most assured ly he never has yielded and never will yield to threat or pressure of any sort, as little If it comes from labor as if it comes from capital he will no more tolerate the violence of g. mob that. the corruption and oppression and ar rogance of corporation or of a wealthy man. He will not consent to limit the power of the courts to put a stop to wrongdoing wherever found. This very fact should make the labor people feel a peculiar confidence in him. He has incurred the bitter hostil- ity of foolish and bigoted reactionaries by his frank criticism of the abuse of the power of injunction In labor dis putes, and he is pledged to do all he can to put a stop to the abuses in the exercise of the power of injunction. He will never promise anything that he will not do all in his power to perform. He can always be trusted to do a little better than his word, and the fact that before election he will not promise the impossible is in itself a guaranty that after election all that Is possible will be done.
 His record as a judge makes the whole country his debtor. His actions and decisions are part of the great tra- ditions of the bench. They. guaranteed and set forth in striking fashion the rights of the general public as against the selfish interests of any class neither of capitalists or of laborers They set forth and stand by the rights of the wage-workers to organize and to strike, as unequivocally as they set forth and stand by the doctrine that no conduct will be tolerated that would spell destruction to the nation as a
