ALTHOUGH the campaign has not
yet commenced, the tide of public
opinion is already setting very strong
ly toward NJ. Bryan. The great
commercial depression and the hard
times among the vast army of labor.
ing people proves quite conclusively
that the Republican party has no hon
est claim to be called the party of pros
perity. The tyranny of federal courts
is an evil that has grown so during the
past half dozen years that the people
realize it must be checked. The ra-
pacious trusts and corporations that
have grown so powerful and that have
become 80 regardless of the common
rights must be curbed, and the Demo-
cratic party alone can do it. The
tariff must be reformed, not bylfriends
and bene6ciaries, but by honest and
unselfsh statesmen. And it is reoog-
nized that the one-man power of an
arbitrary Speaker like Joe Cannon
must give way to reasonable fairness
and consideration if decent legislation
is to be enacted.
There are many reasons why
change of administration would be
better for the country, and thousands
Of right-thinking persons who put pa
triotism above party will vote the
Democratic ticket next fall.

JUST as was to have been expected,
the United States Court in Chicago
has set aside the fine of 500, 100000
imposed upon the Standard Oil Com.
panY by Judge Lands. President
Roosevelt announces that the govern
ment will resist this decision to the
bitter end, and he has instructed the
Attorney General of the United States
to at once take steps to have the de.
cision reversed. This is patriotic, of
course, but it will be futile, for the
Standard Oil Company is really
stronger than the government itself,
and there is no power that GIN be
brought to bear by this administration
that will ever cause that fine to be
collectsd-svsn though, as the Pres.
ident says, there is absolutely no
doubt of the guilt of the company.

Point quantity backward thro' Times misty haze
Toward Dark Ages and their clouded days
When faith lost and superstition power
In barbarism held the nations bound,
When classic light and learning had been drowned
Then rising thro' the weltering food and drift
The Gothic spire, its golden cross could lit
Into hopes sunlight, DER the waste and dark,
And be for Christen dom its shining mark
That steadfast stood, while waning Crescent fell
Bright emblem of the worlds advance It's well

In the world is the Northwest Mount

from Herschell Island to Kenora-the
largest police area in the world. This
entire field is covered by less than 700

police in the old days was rounding
up horse thieves, whisky smugglers

Of the old days being the horse thief,

Cheap Board for Students.

How to furnish cheap board to col
lege students is problem that is vex-
ing the authorities of many of our
great institutions of learning, Harvard
included. In the current number Of
McClure's George KEENAN, tells how
they manage to give board, lodging
and tuition at the Valparaiso univer-
sity at Valparaiso, Ind, for the small
sum of 3S cents day. If payment is
made in advance for the whole year
the cost is only $3.50, or SO cents a
day. Although this institution has
never had gift of money from any
source, it is fully equipped and pays
its own way, having ample buildings
and staff of 1862 professors and
teachers and more than 5000 students.
Summed up, says the Boston Herald,
the methods by which these remarka-
Bile results have been achieved may
be described as energy, Intelligence
and remarkable business capacity well
applied.
