BRYAN'S FALSE ISSUE.

Both of the Republican candidates
10 the present presidential campaign
have replied pointedly and effectively
to Mr.. Bryan's statement of the salient
Democratic issue, shall the People
Ruler"
Mr. Sherman points out the fact
that Mr.. Bryan has chosen for an
issue that which is no issue, for the
people always have and always will
rule. Mr.. Bryan's vaunted and ill
chosen key note" is one Of the
axioms of our constitutional govern
ment.
Judge Taft goes yet further In his
reply. He admits that the great
industrial problems that now confront
the United States have arisen under
Republican administration and have
assumed alarming proportions only
in recent years. But he declares, and
brings forward as proof the Legislation |
OF the past few years, the Republican |
administration is proceeding asrapidly |
as possible with the solution OF these |
problems. It's conservative method is |
however too slow for its radical antag-
onists who would, with single blow,
wipe out the abuses and bring in the
millennium.
Waxing caustlc In his reply, Mr..
Taft declares that "the fact that the
Democratic party had but little recent
experience in the responsibility OF
power, and but little training in actual
legislation. makes the party and its
distinguished leader oblivious to the
necessity OF care and caution in Il @
enactment OF statutes which are to
accomplish enormous changes in our
social and business relations" The
fact Is he concludes that the people
have ruled and are ruling by wisely
the issues raised by the
Democrats and entrusting the work Of
solving these problems, problems that
inevitably had to arise under our
present peculiar social and economic
conditions, to the Republican party.

While man makes the largest ocean

Wise sailors let this curiosity of ma

painful and often dangerous. This
power defends 1t from porpoises, alba

THEATRICAL
SITUATION
SUFFER BECAUSE OF PRE-
CEDING ATTRACTION.

The penalty for a poor show is bad
business. Sad to say. the penalty is
too often paid not by the offender.
but by a first-class attraction. An
instance of this injustice is at hand
Last night, one of the best musical
comedy companies on the road
played at the theatre to a tremen-
dously enthusiastic audience, but in
size altogether out of proportion to
the large attendenace it deserved.
Mss Cameron and her clever conf
pany delivered the goods. The en-
gaEement was thoroughly ajve,-
tised. The attraction has visited
Wenatchee before and everyone Who
saw it then spoke of it in the highes:
terms. Everybody must have known
the show would be good one. Yet
the PEOPLE did not come ami the
management ost heavily. What is
the reason? To get the answer, bark
back to last Saturday. The per-
Torrance of that evening smells to
high heaven.
No one feels this so keenly as Man.
ager Ferguson. He states that he
would gladly have given THE Turk
ish Bath Co. his check for more
than their gross receipts here if the
troupe had not appeared in his
house. We suggest that he would
have done nothing but simple justice
to himself, to his patrons, to the
friendly press and to the attractions
following, had he held the curtain
and announced from his stage that
patrons might get half their admis-
sion fee returned to them at the
door. This may not be practical
Bile method; but certainly the situa-
ton demanded drastic measures.
However, Mr.. Ferguson declares that
it will be his policy hereafter to can
eel any attraction about which he
cannot secure satisfactory and reli-
able Information.
The performance last night. was
characterized by catchy song hits,
bright, snappy comedy. clever dane
