ID. b. HILL on BRYAN.

For years ex-senator D. b. H1I has
held himself as a genuinely representa-
tive Democrat, and has been accepted
by large portion of the people as
such. Mr.. Hill feels that the time has
come for very plain speaking, and what
he said just prior to sailing for Europe
must arrest the attention and set to
thinking many million men who have
so far claimed to be Democrats We
risk nothing in saying that Mr. Bryan
will not find his utterances agreeable
Mr.. Hill said among other things:
There is no Democrstic Party. When
/ met the late Gov. Atgeld in a little
room up a back stairs in Chicago
hotel shortly before the first so-calIed
Bryan convention, | told him that the
policies which Bryan represented woulI
drive the Democratic Party to hell
Then, when he begged for another try
four years later 1 said: You are most
there; stop before you have absolutely
ruined the party
THE Democratic Party never wanted
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan wanted the
Democratic Party. He forced himself
OH the party in 1886, and again on what
was left of the party in 1900. and now,
in 1908, he calls himself the Demo-
cratic Party and says, L have kept the
faith"
This is all unquestionably true. No
matter how much Mr.. Bryan may pirate
about Democracy and Jeffersonian prin-
ciples, he has left nothing of the party
but the name and organization. He is
like a worm which has burrowed into
the fruit, taken o,It all the pulp and
left nothing but the skin and the core.
The idea that Jefferson would ever
sanction such rank imperialism as Gov
eminent ownership of railroads, Gov
eminent guarantee OF bank deposits and
Federal regulation of thousand and
one things in the peoples daily life is
enough to5make any one of the real
old Jeffersonian Democrats turn in his

Several of the Spanish-American
Governments should read, mark and
inwardly digest the very stiff letter
which the President has sent to the
President of Panama. They may then
see in it a light that the day of nasty
little revolutions is past. If they are
going to play at being Republics, they
must be Republics in fact, and not or
sanized banditti. The petty politicians
of Panama, after their successful revo-
luton against Colombia, which we aid
ed and abetted. thought that they could
go on in the same old way in running
their new Government. The present
American administrations always act,
in getting ali that was possible out of
the country during its term of office, and
now attempts to hold over for another
term by actual force. The President
and Secretary of War tell the Panama
come to an end. They have adopted a
Constitution and a republican form of
government, and this must be carried
out. Elections must be fairly conduct
ed and their results abided by. The
old way of holding power by military
force and shooting their opponents is
not to be tolerated. Order must be
preserved and the form of a republican
Government carefully observed. 1t was
only question of time when all the
Spanish-American politicians had to be
given this lesson, and it is well that it
has begun with Panama, which is
Government to certain extent of our
own creation and for which we are re-
sponsible. The President and Secretary
of War made known their views in very
plain, unmistakable American, which
the President of Panama will have no
difficulty in understanding, nor will he
fail to understand that he must do pre-
cisely as directed. Probably next to
him the most interested in the letter
from the President will be the rulers
of the petty little States of Central
America, to whom it will be the shadow
of a strong hand rising over their hori-
IONS.

Corporation starting up its mills July

the demands for steel have grown so
rapidly lately that the present facilities
are unable to meet them. Steel is the
best barometer of the business situa-
ton, for. next to foodstuffs, it is of the
most universal use. When people get
hard up they cannot stop eating. but
they can stop buying iron and steel
products. AS soon as they feel able to

nature. Like some men, those in the
Yellowstone Park got so sassy when
they found that they were no longer
hunted, but petted and coddied, that
there was no living with them or near
them. 1t was found necessary to tie
up several of the worst offenders and
give them sound thrashings. in order
to make them pay any respect to the
men around them.
