on grounds which Bryan himself
disputes. The Denver platform has
a railroad plank which promises
new excesses of regulation. Bryan
does not believe in railroad regula-
ton; he believes in government
ownership of railroads. He has
said, many times, that railroad
regulation is bound to fail and that
nothing but government ownership
can solve the SO called railroad
problem. The Denver platform
also abounds in planks promising
vigorous regulation of industrial
corporations as well as of railroads.
The people, Mr.. Bryan has said,
believe in regulation. Therefore, ]
am willing to help all 1 can in help.
ing them to experiment with regula-
ton.
''lt is very kind of Mr.. Bryan to
be so willing to pander to the peo
pie, but when they understand him
as thoroughly as they should now,
what can the people think of him?
Certainly If they believe III a policy
of regulation they must think, they
cannot think anything e,se, that the
last man to whom to intrust the
carrying out of that policy is a man
who disbetieves in 1t thoroughly
except as it may be a halfway house
to the government ownership in
which he believes implicitly but in
which the people do not believe at
all. New York Sun.

DEMOCRATIC CHAR.
GES OFEXTRAVA-
GANCE.

From Taft's speech of acceptance.
Our opponents deneunce the Re
publican party for Increasing the
number of officers 5000, at cost
of sixteen millions of dollars, during
the last year. Such denunciation is
characteristic of the Democratic
platform. 1t fails to specify in any
way what the Offices are, and leaves
the inference that the Increase was
resisted by the representatives OF
Democracy Ia Congress. AS a
matter of fact, the net number OF
Offices increased was just about hall
the number stated; the increase was
due chiefly to the enlargement
the navy, the construction of the
Panama canal, the extension of the
Rural Free Delivery and to the
new Offices necessary in the enforce
nent of the pure food, meat in.
spection, railroad rate regulation,
arid land reclamation, forest pressr
'ation and other measures which
Congress passed with almost unani-
nous popular approval. The Demo
ratio platform, SO far from attack
ng any of this legislation, speci6cal-
y approves much and condemns
lone of il, and it is Of course
lisingenuous to claim credit for
approving legislation and yet to
Ienounce the expenditures necessary
o give it effect.

Deposit Guarantee.

That there is strong sentiment
among the people of Kansas in favor
of bank depSsl. guarantee law can
moi be denied.
That such demand will be in
serted In the Republican platform
seems certain. The people of Kan
sas have a way of asserting them
selves and getting enacted into law
the things they demand.
We have never been able to
understand the opposition some of
the bankers of the state have set up
against such a measure. 1t seems
to us a very wise measure and that
it would be of great benefit to the
banks. The trihing cost that it
would be to the banks would be
doubly compensated by increased
deposits.
We have always favored the
measure and are glad to see the
party of the state taking itup. The
law is working we'll in Oklahoma
and national banks are organizing
as state banks in order that they
may have the benefit of these guar
antee provisions. A depositor in
bank where the funds are absolutely
guaranteed would always feel safe,
and such thing as run would be
impossible.
The bank being absolutely safe
everybody would use 1t and deposits
would greatly increase. Thus a
banker could safely loan a larger
perclnt of the deposits for he would
not fear run. 1t does seem that
all the arguments on both sides, the
side of the depositor and the side of
the banker are in favor of the gutr
antee law.
Those opposed to the law argue
hat it would be a means of b lister
ng up weak banks to the detriment
of the strong. There may be a little
n this, but by a more careful and
igld inspection the banks can be
,ept In such shape that the danger

THE BEST EQUIPPED
CANDIDATE.

Of all the presidential candidate
within the memory of this generation
Taft, is unquestionably the bes
equipped, in training and experience,
and in wide and close contact
with large affairs. In one important
respect this equipment is unlike
that of any of the Presidents, no one
of whom had ever served on the
bench. With the exception of those
nominated on their military records,
and two or three who had been
governors of their states, the Presi
dents have been men whose political
training was In the legislative
branch. Taft was never in Con-
gress, or even in his state legislature.
He is wholly without personal ex
perience in What is called practical
politics. He was educated for the
bar; early became a judge; the whole
trend of his thought and Of his
ambition has been in the line of the
judiciary and his ingrained judicial
temperament itwas that made him
conspicuously useful and successful
in the many difficult administrative
problems he was later called upon
to solve.
1t was 4 distinct sacrifice he
made when President Mckinley
took him from a life position that
he enjoyed, and that was in line
with his dearest hopes, to lay upon
him the burden of establishing peace
and order in the Philippines. The
judgement, tact and skill with which
he carried ON that great task; the
candid diplomacy with which he
smoothed away perplexing obstacles;
the unselfish devotion with which
he has upheld the interest of those
far away people in the face of in
difference at home, were an honor
to the cation. The same qualities
of wise adjudicator have been re
peate@ly at the service of the coun-
try. In Cuba, In Panama, in Japan,
it has been necessary only to "send
for Taft" MISUNDERSTANDING are
cleared up and difficulties vanish
before this gracious personality, this
calm, clear, disentangling mind.
His intellectual integrity and dis
have been as un-
as his quiet strength, his
sease Of justice, his
absolute honesty. 1t is not Glnd
that moves by impulse or in start
ing flashes; it is mind we'll poised
and of singular lucidity, that reaches
is results by logical principles,
which do not antagonize, but con-

DRAFTING JOHNSON.

Tac denomination OF Gov. Ohn
son may be good politics for Mr.
Bryan, but it may turn out to be
bad politics for Johnson. He him
self undoubtedly wanted to escape
this candidacy. He said so several
days before the convention which
renominated him. His party in his
state had right to believe him. On
principle he may or may not be
against third term. But he prob
ably saw that a third nomination
did not necessarily mean third
election, and therefore he would
have been glad to escape the con
test this year. AS the convention
adjourned Immediately after it
nominated him he felt bound to
make the race again.
In each of his two canvasses Gov.
Johnson made wonderful run. BY
winning the state in 1924 by 6ooo,
when Roosevelt's lead in it was I6I,
900, and by carrying the state il
1876 by 76, 900, he showed popu
iari'y among the voters which at
tracted the country's attention. This
was due to two circumstance
the strength of the Scandinavian
vote in the state, and to the inherent
weakness of the Republican guber-
material nominee. Moreover, in
rejecting on the poverty of John
sons parents the Republicans com
mitted blunder which took away
thousands of votes from their own
candidates.
Bat Johnson has NO assurance thai
the Republicans will be accommo-
dating enough to make mistakes
which will aid him in 1905. More
over, there is no certainty that the
race line can be drawn with any ef-
feet this year. Johnson's lineage is
likely to count for less in 1908 than
it did in 1904 and 1906. The Scan.
d,navian Republicans of Minnesota
ought to be tired by this time of
bringing Swedish and Norwegian
prepossessions into an American
canvass. They have lager issues at
their own door. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that all of those voters have
cut loose forever from the land of
their forefathers, and that they are
here to stay. AS good Americans
they should divide as Americans on
the issues that are before them.
Johnson's victory is far from beng
certain this year, while his defeat,
if it should take place would destroy
any chance which he may have TO
get favorable consideration in the
national convention of1oIa.-Globe
Democrat.
