DEMOCR ACY ABL Y
EXPOUNDED.

William J. Bryan delivered a
great and good speech before the
Jefferson Democratic club of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin at Madison last
Saturday night. He stopped by the
way, as he too often does, to Vindi-
cate the Chicago platform Of 1896,
money plank and all. The contest of
that year was chiefly a matter of
standards: and the historians are
writing, - as they ought to write, -
that in spite of the Democratic plat
form, which declared for free silver
coinage and the Republican platform,
which was evasive and tempOrizing,
the people wisely and firmly establish
ed the gold standard. 1t is certain
ly not the part of wisdom for Demo
Gratis to waste at this time any
ammunition on the battle Of twelve
years ago. The hunting in other
directions Is altogether too good for
that as Mr.. Bryan plainly showed
when he turned batteries on the forces
against which Democrats are arrayed
in 1908.
The greater portion OF Mr.. Bryan's
speech was devoted to expounding
true democratic principles, and he
expounded them ably and we'll His
words OF counsel were good for de-
mocracy, good for the citizen, and
good for the state. He spoke from
profound knowledge and ripe expe-
rience and his words will have last
ing and wholesome effect on his hear
ers.
When Mr.. Bryan left fundamental
principles and spoke on present poll
tical issues he gave an earnest of the
aggressiyness of the campaign to be
waged by the Democrats in 1908. The
administration forces Will be placed
on the defensive from the start, and
the election will be strongly contested.
The American people want many good
things politically which they never
can secure from the party now in
power in the nation.

Reckless Automobiling Rebuked.

Reckless AutOmObIlIng Rebuked.
Evening Wisconsin: At last a
way has been found of attracting the
Automobiles who have been indiffer-
emit to speed limit laws and to 'popu
lar clamor." Seattle, Washington,
was recently the scene of a proceeding
in court witch has made very
decided impression upon the minds
and imaginations of reckless autOmo
billing throughout the country. The
opening part of the proceeding has
often been paralleled elsewhere-a rich
man called into court because his
touring car had run down and killed
a little girl. 1t was the outcome of
the trial that was unique. Guy G.
Stratton, lumberman and millionaire,
who was the defendant, was found
guilty of murder in the second degree,
the punishment for which is a fine of
$4,000 and Imprisonment for a period
of from one to twenty years.
There is apparently no escape for
Stratton, despite his great wealth. He
will not only have to pay a heavy fine
this he expected, and does not mind
but he will also have to go to
prison for the term of one year or
longer as directed by the judge. The
state Of Washington is the first in the
Union to proceed. against automobile
speeding in way that will effectually
check this menace to human life. The
Stratton case is the first in which the
Washington statute making the Kill
ling of people by automobiles a crime
has been enforced.
There are careful automobiles,
who will never risk the death of other
occupants of the highways by heed
less operation of their machines.
But many are utterly reckless unless
constantly reminded that the public
has rights which they must respect.
Sooner or later the American
people everywhere will seriously ad-
dress themselves to the problem of
protection from the speed maniac.
The Seattle example meantime will
have a wholesome influence beyond
the borders of the state in which it
has been made.

YAM AND HIS MAIDS
SPEECH.

Attorney Ernest G. Fielder having
heard Mr.. Bryan's speech at Madison
left Saturday night, the Democrat
requested for publication his impress
sions of the speech and speaker. He
says:
Mr.. Bryan's address was forceful
presentation of the peoples cause.
He chose as his theme "DemOcracy's
Appeal to the Young" and urged the
young mon to ally themselves with the
cause of the people. He insisted
that on public question the people are
right. He used the word Democracy
in its broad and not partisan sense and
showed that the modern tendency is
Jeffersonian and not Hamiltonian,
and wherever he travelled, at home
and abroad, he found a growing de-
mand for government by the people,
instead of by aristocrats who believe
that government is suspended from
above.
He made a strong appeal for the
election of U. S. Senators by popular
NObCy duA Shld bIdV SGhfhhOL L1thL VI
lette was the only distinguished Re
publican who had taken advanced
ground on this question, and that
Senator La Toilette was right.
He commended the President heart
lily for some of the reforms which the
President sought to bring about but
failed because the Senate threw itself
across the path of progress.
He attacked the tariff and the trusts,
aud endorsed the Oklahoma plan by
which bank deposits are absolutely
guaranteed to the depositors.
Mr.. Bryan's speech Is simple and
epigrammatic in style. He is the
greatest private citizen in the world
today. He believes and feels what he
says, and as he speaks he reaches and
moves his listners. At times he de-
livers a whole sermon in a single
sentence. Back Of all that he says,
is Bryan the man,-sinCere and
honest. AS he stands before an aud
fence he is splendid illustration of
the truth of one of his own sayings,
Eloquent speech is not from lip to
ear, but from heart to heart"

Some Points About the Split
Log Drag.

Don't maKe'the drag too heavy. 1t
should be light enough for one man
to lift and for two horses to pull with
ease. 1t should be made of an to II
inch log, to s feet long, split in half
and securely braced so one face is 80
to 50 inches behind the other. Cedar,
elm, walnut and maple logs make
good drags. In making plank drag
use , or 3 inch planks braced along
the back with a piece of , X f.
The road should be we'll crowned
before dragging. If badly rutted it is
we'll to drag once or twice when the
road is slushy. Afterward it should
be dragged when the soil is moist but
not sticky. Don't drag when the road
is nearly dried out. Drag the dirt
toward the center a little at time.
The drag is not meant to displace the
road machine. Many make the mis-
take of trying to make the road in one
trial. 1t is essential for dragging
success that only a light coating be
smeared on the surface each time.
If the drag is properly and con-
scientiously used it will keep dirt
roads in smooth and hard condition
at less expense than any other tool
yet discovered. Don't despise the
drag because it is simple and cheap.
The universal success which has met
its use makes it we'll worth investiga-
ton. Send to the Highway Division,

REVISION IN UTOPIA.

All History of Tariff Building Set at
Naught.
A beautiful picture of tariff revision
"by it's friends" was drawn by the
New York Tribune in u recent issue.
According to the Tribune, the senate
finance committee and the house ways
and means committee will obtain au-
thOrity to hold sessions during the re
cess of congress and conduct such eX
animation into the tariff schedules rs
may be deemed wise in view of the APP
preaching revision" There will be no
public hearings, no widely advertised
consideration of particular schedules
to upset business and possibly brighten
importers, but the work will go on in
quiet and orderly manner, SO that when
congress meets again everything will
be prepared for prompt ana efficient
action" Before adjournment all the
minutiae will have been arranged, and
almost before the Industries of the
country have felt the first breath Of
disturbance the operation will have
been performed and the patient will be
convalescing."
The New York Evening Post is rude
enough to Chatter this pleasant dream.
Getting down to earth, the Post thus
describes the procedure of a tariff re
vising senate finance committee:
why, the protected manufacturers
would be down upon it instantly, like
a wolf on the fold. They would de
mand to be Informed whether their
particular schedules were being exam
ined. If so, the committee would be
told bluntIy that it could never hope
to pass that examination and had bet
ter drop the subject at once. And only
think Of these secret inquiries being
held while presidential election is
pending! More fat would be fried than
schedules altered. 1t would be an IN
equaled opportunity for the tariff
blackmailers. Granting that some sin
cere Republicans might be on the com
mittee, are they prepared to meet man
ufacturers whose protection they pro-
pose to take away? Better encounter a
liOness robbed of her whelps."
AS the Post well says, "All this pre-
diction Of injustice and oppression and
special privilege being got out of the
protective tariff without an open strug-
gle is concentrated humbug"

Would Blaine Be a Stand Patter?

We understand a stand patter to be
one who insists on maintaining tariff
schedules in spite of the fact that those
schedules are used as a shield for adj
mitted monopoly and eXtortiOn. Wheth-
er James G. Blaine would be in this
class if now living may be clearly seen
by the following quotation from his
work Twenty Years Of Congress"
Protection in the perfection Of its
design does not invite competition from
abroad, but IS based on the contrary
principle that competition at home will
always prevent monopoly on the part
of the capitalists, assure good wages to
the laboring man and defend the con
sumers against the evils Of extOrtion."
At present. when scores of trusts and
combinations are enabled to practice
''extort:on" on American consumers be
cause they are freed from foreign com
petition by a high tariff. it is plain
that Mr. Blaine would not be among
those who consider the Dingley SEIZED
ules sacred

National Bank, Cuba, on Tuesday,
May II. Reports of the mining de-
velopment show that the shaft is now
down to 1O2 feet and that some heavy
sheets of lead and jack had been en-
countered at 100 feet, which fully
substantiates the drill records that it
would be found at this depth. Pro-
visions were made for a continuation
of the work.

Test For Oklahoma Bank Law.

Within one hour from the time H.

missioner, had taken charge of the
International Bank of COalgate, he
had authority to pay the depOsitors
in full, through the banks cash and
available funds in other banks fell
$1,000 short of the total of deposits.
The commissioner was enabled TO do
this under the new banking laws and
this is the first time it has been
called into use. Commissioner
Smock took charge OF the bank for
alleged gross violations of the bank
ing laws and notified the banking
board at once. Governor Haskell,
president of the banking board, i'm
