feated and that Is through the defeat
of the party. If there is any hope
whatever for Mr.. Bryan 1T comes
through the feeling that his election
would mean a deadlock and the end
of Roosevelt's influence in the repub-
lican party. Reactionaries would &C
cept the election of Bryan as their
triumph. They do not fear him; he
is impossible as a practical statesman.
A republican senate, which cannot be

Forward.

Deadwood Telegram: Senator Bev-
eridge Of Indiana, m up-holder of the
Roosevelt doctrines, has written a
document for a current weekly, which.
without naming names or making
any party reference whatever, sets
forth the national campaign issue in
a manner most distinct because OF It's
freedom from political bias. The
reader will be required to pause and
consider the issue to be deter
mined in November from a new view
point.
Through President Roosevelt the re-
publican party in the last half dozen
years has taken AT advanced position
for business honesty and morality in
business. Recognition has been given
to the evolution in business. No at
tempt has been made to tear down
great combinations of capital hat
have been formed for honest endeav-
ors. In this respect the party in power
stands distinct from the party in
opposition, which later would up
root these combinations one way or
another, through the abolition Of the
tariff schedules or by direct enact
ment. The republican party recog-
nizes that these great combinations
can be made in INSCRIPTIONS hands a
real danger to the republic. They are
distinct from individual enterprise;
they must be considered as Of a pub
lie nature to be dealt with in the in
terest of the public good. Unlawful
schemes which aided in making mon
opolles have been abolished within
( the time named.
But the great work undertaken by
the party is not nearly finished. The
| administration is in the midst of ''the
organization of honesty as the au-
thor has termed 1T. This work must
go forward or backward. Even in gov
eminent there is nothing constant but
change. A deadlock means retrogres-
sion.
It is pointed out in the article in
question that there are powerful and
secret influences at work to put a
stop to the Roosevelt policies. "For
the last year there has been a deter,
mined effort not only to check but al
so to turn back this mighty move
ment for common honesty In trade anC
Righteousness in business upon which

Death OF Mrs. Tom Parke.

Mrs. Tom Parke passed away last
Friday night at 1918, death resulting
from heart failure. Her husband was
killed several years ago by a passen-
ger engine as he vas crossing the
track in this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Parke came
to Lincoln county In the early sever
ties, and located on a homestead in
Dayton township, where they lived
for many years, and among the larg-
est trees in the township were those
planted by the old pioneer. After
leaving the farm they came to Can
ton and as the years passed Mr..
Parke's hearing failed him and at the
time of the accident was very deaf.
His widow continued to live in the
old home, and trouble with her heart
became a serious question in the daily
life of the old pioneer.
Last Friday evening about 9 o'clock
DR.. Rogers was summoned In haste to
the bedside of the old lady and found
kind and loving neighbors ~te.2derly
caring for her. She knew the end
was neal and had made provision for
all the details attending death. She
had a note prepared for W. U. Parke
of Lincoln township, telling what she
wanted done, and told those around
her Of matters that she wanted at
j tended to and then gradually slum'
bered into eternal rest as the heart
throbs weakened.
The funeral took place Monday at
2:30 from the home of the deceased
and the remains we're laid beside hel
husband In Forrest Hill cemetery
under the direction of Undertaken
Byrnes in the presence of relatives
and loving friends. One daughter
