Bryan's Commoner recently printed
a poem entitled "Unspoken Words"
We would like to ask Mr.. Bryan, as an
i honest man, whether the title is not at
| least misleading. Are there any, where
he is concerned?
/ One essential difference between Taft
! and Bryan is that the former has a
record and the latter would like to
l have one.
l fSIeT StEOSSSup, tcile VI ei'o
men whose opinion reversed the mon
ster fine assessed against the Stand
ard Oil company, is the same man
who has been so friendly to corpora
| tons as to consider it his privilege to
ask for railroad passes He has also
been known to have little differ
ences with President Roosevelt before
he made the oil decision. 1t is believed
in some quarters that if Grosscup were

| Marshaltown will have a chautau-

| Now let's figure the cost of the con-
Ivention system for a change. About 100
delegates must convene in each county
at a cost of SO each minimum or $500
per county, $780, 700 for the state in each
party, $50, 400 If only two parties NOM

proximately 1,200 delegates will con-
vene at the state convention at an ex-
pense of $40 apiece or $4,000 for each
party, $4,000 If only two parties NOM
| mate candidate for judge. Thus will
| it cost $50, 400 to nominate one candi-
| date in each of two parties who will
| be actually selected by not to exceed
twenty men in each party.

| Cornelius p. Shea, former leader of
! the Transfers infamous strike in Chi
cago, has been sent to the Boston

The independence OF many Of the
new parties seems to apply with equal
strength to both principles and victor
les. They are willing to do without the
latter if they are permitted to stand
for what they choose of the former.
Roosevelt has approved the dismissal!
from West Point of eight cadets who
were guilty of hazing. This approval
comes from the same gentleman who
protested because two Harvard oars
men were penalized for stealing books
just in time to prevent their helping in
regatta. Inconsistency is often found
in high places, and demonstrates that
even the beloved Theodore goes wrong
In spots.
Since the low mark of 1907 there has
been a gain of over two billion in the
