COURT FREES A GIRLS HEART.
Rules That Limitation on Her Aztec
tions in Will Is WRONG.

Des Moines. Jan. 21.-When La
moine Mott, a local capitalist, died ayear
ago he left will which provided that
his niece, Alice Mott, aged IA, should
receive a life annuity of $500 on con-
dition that she marry a man approved
by the trustees of the estate. Judge
w. H. McHenry, of the district court.
yesterday set aside this provision OF,
the will as against public policy.
The trustees are heirs, and the court
said that it would be possible, under
the will, for the trustees to object to
any one Alice may marry, no matter
what sort of chap he may be. SO that
her annuity might revert to the es-
tate.
II do not mean by this that they
would do it, however, said the court.
The girl is now attending st. Joseph's
school She is tremendously relieved
by the decision of the court.

Mack, manager of the Bryan cam
paign, the opposition of organized
labor to President Gompers' effort to
throw the trade union vote over to
Bryan is still all the stronger. There
no longer remains any doubt that
President Gompers has arranged with
the Democratic party to try to force
the labor vote to Bryan, and that de-
spite the fact that he, Gompers, Is at
the head of trade union organiZa-
ton of a non-political nature, he is,
as an official of that trade union, US
ing his time, paid for by the union,
and the union machinery in further
ing the success of partisan political
party. In doing this he is going con-
trary to all precedent, either in this
country or in England. He is DEM
ocrat and free trader and as such
has put himself on record as fighting
to defeat the best friends American
labor ever had in the history of the
Nation.
While many of the labor papers re-
main non-committai on the question,
most of the important ones oppose
the policy of President Gompers. OF
course the out and out Democratic
papers will lean toward Bryan.
The Toledo Union Leader has
strongly opposed the Gompers slogan
to reward your friends and punish
your enemies" 1t declares that the
policy is ineffective and is likely to do
| more damage to the unions than
good The Leader has consistently
stood for direct action through a
Labor party or the Socialist party and
is at present delivering hammer blows
for the legislative ticket of the So
cialist party, which was endorsed by
referendum vote of the local unions.
The Akron People rips the anti-in-
junction pretenses of the Democratic
party into tatters, and points out to
Gompers the utter absurdity of plac-
ing any reliance in party that de-
clares in favor of restricting injunc-
tions In one plank and follows it up
with declaration that 1T Is the
function of the courts to interpret the
laws which the people create"
The GAINESVILLE Labor Journal con-
cludes that labor is confronted by far
greater questions than injunctions,
and that -the labor vote has never
been delivered or deliverable by any
man or set Of men,.
The Brewers Journal, of Cincin-
natl, ridicules the growing tameness
of Bryan, declaring that he is no more
feared, and calls upon the working
people to stand by workingmen in the
coming election. something Gompers
will not do.
The Switchmen's Journal, printed
at Buffalo, opposes Gompers.
The Bakers Journal, published in
Chicago, in behalf of its readers "em-
phatically protests against having our
international organization classed

not brought about under Democratic
banners.
For nearly century the Demo-
cratic party has lived In the past,
lived on the glories of Jefferson, but
have long since forgotten everything
Jefersonian but the name OF the
sage OF Monticello. Jefferson op-
posed the building OF mile OF turn
pike road by the government; Mr..
Bryan holds the doctrine that the
government ought to own and operate
more than two hundred thousand
miles OF railroads. Jefferson was the
first and great apostle of State rights;
Mr.. Bryan would obliterate all State
lines for the purpose of owning rail-
roads. Mr.. Jefferson did dream of a
possible political Utopia: Mr.. Bryan
would turn Utopia into Sheol with
his vagaries. Mr.. Jefferson believed
In building the fabric of the State on
the enlightened conscience of the
people; Mr.. Bryan would build only
ON his own fancies and dreams, re-
cognizing no intelligence that does
not spring from himself In his in
Hated egotism he admits no wisdom,
no craftsmanship. no policy that does
not spring from himself, and he has
forced his party to adopt his theories,
to advocate his policies. and should
he be elected he wild attempt to carry
out all the vagaries his mind may
hatch. He occasionally refers to
JEFFERSON, but does 1t In a sort OF
apologize way, as II 1t was a great
misfortune to Jefferson that he was
born before Mr.. Bryan reached man
hood. Mr.. Bryan is populist, pure
and simple. His mind is built on a
populistic pattern. cast In a popu-
listic mold. He masquerades as a
democrat only. His theories are of
populistic origin, and his policies of
a populistic pattern. There was a
time Tin the dim and misty past. 1t is
true), when Democracy stood for
sound money. for a stable govern
ment, for well-thought-out and we'll
considered and clearly defined poll
cies. Democracy, under the leader
snip OF Mr.. Bryan stands for any
thing that will catch votes.

pers summed in the issue whether
the railroads, as in the past, shall

vision, or whether judicial body

On this great issue Mr.. Bryan has
no plan but vague denunciation of
what has been done and is now in
full operation. He proposes no def
mite reform. Neither his training
nor his experience fits him for the
task and he speciously seeks to mis-
lead by saying that for ten years the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
been asking new powers and omits
the fact that these powers have been
granted by Republican laws, Great

(From Charleston. s. c., News and

Conditions were such in 1876 that
appeal to the negroes was wise. but
the Democratic party in the State has
adopted the policy of closing its doors
to them. The constitution of tho
party In South Carolina excludes
from voting in the primaries all ne
groes save those who voted" for Gen.
eral Hampton in 1876 and have voted
"the Democratic ticket continuously
since No provision is made for the
admission of other negroes. This
policy was adopted when the primary
plan became fashionable, and wa
think 1t grounded on excellent princi-
pies. Were $1,000 negroes admitted
into the Democratic party In South
Carolina. the baser white members of
the party would at once begin to cor
rupt them, to buy their votes so far
as they could. A century, perhaps
centuries, must pass before the ne
groes will be qualified for citizenship
and morally strong enough to with
stand the temptations offered by the
political corruptionist.
I Array White Against Black.
Until few years ago, 1t was the
habit in the smaller cities and towns
OF South Carolina to allow the quail
flied negro voters to participate in
the municipal elections. and the re-
suit was that municipal campaign In
village having 100 to 900 voters
was period OF debauchery and de-
moralization. So the white mans
primary has been resorted to even in
the little villages. The white people
must hold aloof from the negroes as
protection against the venal In their
own race. and that is why, unless tho
rules OF the party be changed, that
the Democratic negroes In South Car
DINA will be extinct In q few years.
II the negroes In the North are adj
mitted into the party. they will de-
mand recognition in the South. II in
South Carolina there were 10000 or
10000 Democratic negro voters. they
would demand and obtain their share
OF the Offices.
amendments to the Federal Constitu-
negroes might be wholly eliminated
from participation In American poll
tics, but that at present appearing
impracticable. they should at least be
excluded from the Democratic party.
so that In the South the white people
may continue to array themselves
solidly for the protection OF their race
until this Republic has fixed upon a
policy that will guard them not only
against negro domination, but against
negro meddling in political affairs.
Democracy White Mans Party"
Whenever the Democrats admit the
negroes. thousands of white men will
join the Republicans and that party
would become respectable. Very soon
the two parties would be much alike
In character so far as their member
ship Is considered. and salutary re-
suits in Independent thinking and ac-
tion would follow. but in both parties
the exaitation Of the negro would also
follow. In word, neither white
party Is as yet strong enough In viz
tue to admit the negro without misus-
ing him and SO corrupting itself.

<From Mr.. Taft's Speech of Accep-

The chief difference between the
Republican and the Democratic plat
forms is the difference which has
heretofore been seen between the
policies OF Mr.. Roosevelt and those
which have been advocated by the
Democratic candidate, Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Roosevelt's policies have been
progressive and regulative; Mr..
Bryan's destructive. Mr. Roosevelt
has favored regulation of the bust
ness in which evils have grown up
20 as to stamp out the evils and per-
NIT the business to continue The
tendency of Mr.. Bryan's proposals
has generally been destructive of the
business with respect to which he is
demanding reform. Mr.. Roosevelt
would compel the trusts to conduct
their business in lawful manner
and secure the benefits of their opera
ton AMI the maintenance of the pros
perity of the country of which they
are an important part; while Mr..
Bryan would extirpate and destroy
the entire business in order to stamp
