State Pension Bill.

The last encampinent Of the Grand
Army of the Republic, department
of Pennsylvania, which was held in
Erie, instructed Captain p. DeLacy
Of Scranton, the new department
commander, to appoint committee
of seven to draft bill for the pen
sioning of Civil War veterans Of
the Keystone state.
It will be remembered that bill
with that purpose in view was pass
ed by the last legislature but had to
be vetoed by the Governor for the
reason that the money to carry out
its provisions had not been provid-
ed. The bill which died was not
put forward by the G.. \. R. men.
In the next Legislature new
bill will be presented which will
have their approval and it will be
the duty Of the committee of seven
to prepare the bill and submit it to
the Governor for criticism before it
is introduced. Members of this
committee from the northeastern
part of Pennsylvania are: A. B.
Stevens of Scranton, and former
Judge George H. Troutman of
Wilkes Barre.

Hearst Will Not Be a Candidate.
Would Not Accept Presidential Nomination
Of Independence League. He Declares,
but will Preside at Party's
Convention.

William Randolph Hearst, who
arrived from Europe on Saturday,
was asked if he would accept the
nomination for the Presidency on
the Independence League ticket if
it should be shown that the seuti-
ment of the league was unanimous
for his nomination. Mr.. Hearst
replied:
81 cannot. l have given my
word that under no circumstances
will be candidate. | have given
my word and 4 will abide by it,"
docs that pledge hold good for
future years, for 1919, for instance,
as wei as for this year,"
Mr. Hearst laughed, and he an
swered:
You have been going into my
past, and here now you proceed in
to my future"
Mr.. Hearst left that afternoon
for Chicago, where on Monday he
presided at the opening of the first
national convention of the Inde-
pendence party.
The Democrats of the nation did
not want MIR. Hearst as candidate
for President four years ago; the
Democrats of New York did not
want him for Mayor of their city,
and now Mr.. Hearst thinks the
Democratic party has gone to the
diminution bow-wows, and he is
trying to organize new party to
be called the Independence party.
His departure is a good riddance
to the Democratic party, and 1t is
to be hoped that he will never try
to get back into the fold.

PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Republicans are in very differ
ent mood from that in which they
adjourned the Chicago Convention.
They were going to have walk
over. All they wanted was that
Bryan should be nominated. They
had beaten him twice, and they
knew just how to do the trick. Of
course he'd get the Solid South;
any Democratic candidate would do
that. But the East-Bryan conldn' t
touch it with a ten-foot pole. And
the West-why, the West was
bowling itself hoarse for Roosevelt
and his policies, and Taft was
pledged to continue them he was
Roosevelt S man Friday, and he was
as good as elected by the votes OF
every State north of Mason and
Dixon's line, and some Of the Re-
publicans thought Taft might break
into the South.
Well, Bryan was nominated. In
stead of falling to pieces, the Demo
cratic party is found to be more
united and aggressive than it has
been since 1892. The dollar, on
which the Republicans won, is not
an issue. But the corporations are
an issue; the influence Of wealth
upon politics is an issue, and on

Judge Taft is now sure of the
fact that he has been nominated for
President of the United States. A
committee of notification broke the
news to him gently at Cincinnati
on Tuesday. and in a few brief
words occupying about twelve col
umns of newspaper, Mr.. Taft in
formed them that he would accept
the honor so unexpectedly thrust
upon him Now both sides can
rest easy. The judge knows he
has it, and the anxiety of the Re.
publican party lest he might re-
fuse CD it, is allayed,
Never mind, Mr.. Taft. One of
these days somebody is going to
tell William J. Bryan that he too,
has been nominated for the Presi
dency, and when he finds it out, he
also, will probably utter a few
sentences by way of acceptance.

Iowa doubtful. Kern's nomination

publican contemporary Tie Press
recognizes Oregon as doubtful.
We do not claim that Ohio is doubt
full, but it isn't long since it elected

the rest. The Foraker fight is

The Party to Restore Prosperity.

MIR. Kern strikes the most telling
keynote of the coming campaign in
his comment upon the assurance of
fair treatment and all possible en-
couragement for every honest en-
terprise under Democratic admin.
istration of the government.
Of course, reasonable men should
need no such assurance, knowing
that such a policy is part of DEM
ocratic doctrine, and is urged by
every consideration o. party inter
est, but there are always some who
will see in every bold insistence up
on essential reforms, and in every
demand for the restraint of the too
arrogant powers of wealth and mo-
nopoly, dangerous tendency to
radical or revolutionary policy; and
on the other hand, there are some
who fear that the party not in pow
er will hesitate to fulfill its promis-
es at the risk of business disturb.
ance if it should become the party
in power; and these last need to be
assured that there is no risk of bus
mess disturbance in any Democrat
ic policy, but on the contrary, ev-
cry assurance of the vigorous slim
ulation of business.
Only the vast and defiant monop-
olies, the stock jobbers, who ma
nipulate railroad combinations, mas
ter and mismanage insurance COM
panies, and otherwise prey upon
the public, have anything to fear
from Democratic policy.
For the rest of the business world
the policy of our party, declared in
its platform and promised by the
sincerity and ability of its leaders,
is such as to assure the stimulation
to both corporate and individual
enterprise, and the prompt recov,
cry of that prosperity which has
been lost under Republican man
agement, despite the favors Of Prov
idence and bountiful crops.
This stimulation is to be sought
through the restoration of conf
dence that there will he an end oi
the eternal shaking of the big stick
and thorough prompt readjust
ment of the tariff upon the only
right principle, that of revenue
with such incidental protection as
may be fairly offered, but no pro
lection for monopolies which sci
their products cheaper abroad than
at home.
The hard experience of the bus
mess world in the last year and 6
half has fully demonstrated tha
something must be done along diff
ferent lines from those followed OF
proposed by the party in power. A
safe, bold, but not radical Demo
cratic policy, reaffirming the ole
principles of Democratic govern
ment, with such new application
and development as the times de
mand, and such economies as th'
conditions urge, is the promise helt
out to the voter.

Democratic leaders in Indiana are
confident that Bryan and Kern will
carry that State. Adlai Stevenson
is likely to be the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Illinois, and
he can poll heavy vote. Cleve-
land and Stevenson carried Illinois
in 1899. Iowa and Wisconsin,
Colorado, Oregon and California
are doubtful States, according to
Republican authorities. Demo-
cratic prospects are by no means
discouraging in New York. The
Republicans have very different
sort of campaign on hand from the
one they anticipated.

HOW BRYAN "1ooK HIS MEDICINE.

Judge Parker is justified in his crit
icism of Mr. Bryan':s assertion that i
took my medicine when Parker was
nominated He was the man of all
others whom l did not want When
the judge says Bryan ought to have
said it before the nomination, or kept
his mouth shut afterward, most people
will agree with him
But Mr. Bryan did not take his
medicine" as he says he did. He went
thru the motion of medicine taking,
but he held his nose and gulped ana
made faces until his following in the
party understood that it was a bitter
dose that Bryan was swallowing be-
cause he couldn't get away from 1t.
Bryan democrats turned away from
the prescription. They refused to vote
for Parker. The sight of Mr.. Bryan's
contorted visage as he walked up for
sands of those who watched his coun-
tenance seeking other medicine. They
found more palatable prescription
marked Theodore Roosevelt: Take
as before" And Parker's preparation
went begging.
Not one of Mr.. Bryan's peculiar peo-
pie was fooled. They knew where Mr.
BRYAN stood and that Parker was his
antithesis. Parker and the people be-
hind him were not fooled. They saw
BRYAN take his medicine" and marked
how he took it. When the time comes
for more medicine taking, goodly
number will be found refusing Bry-
ans Universal Compound.

STICK TO IOWA

(Webster City FreemanTrbune)
There is no longer any doubt but
that Iowa is the best and richest state
in the union and the best spot in the
whole world from a material stand
point. Recent statistics show that
Iowa is ahead of every state in the
matter of per capita wealth. The per
capita wealth of this state is $1,S28.
which is s1Et0 greater than the per
capita wealth of Illinois and $500
greater than the per capita wealth of
the United States. These are facts
that cannot De refuted and should
convince all Iowans that Iowa is the
place to stay if one is looking for
financial success. Each man in this
state makes more money than each
man in any other state. Stick to Iowa.

WAKE Up THE CATS.

The speech Of Judge Prouty in Des
|, Moines last evening was quite anus
ing when he took up for review the
career of Senator Allison. DOlliverr in
his Council Bluffs address enumerat-
ed the browning achievements of AL
lison's career as six in number, viz:
/. Revision of the internal revenue
laws.
2. Fight for the gold standard.
8. Formation of a commission gov
ernment for the city of Washington.
4. Resumption Of specie payment.
S. His connection with banking and
currency legislation
6. His connection with recent rail-
road legislation.
With that characteristic smile of his.
which greatly resembles the grin OF a
Bengal tiger, Judge Prouty considered
these crowning achievements sereatim.
Dolliver had argued that Allison's re-
duction of internal revenue tax on dis
cents had brought in revenues from 4S
million gallons instead of IA million,
but Prouty said that this was just
what the democrats had argued would
happen by a reduction of the tariff,
viz: an increase in both revenue and
consumption, and that as applied to
distilled liquors peoples minds would
differ as to its benefits.
AS to Allisons fight for the gold
standard, Judge Prouty preferred to
recall the free silver quotations from
Allison's speeches which the democrats
had used turnout the campaign, and to
his compromise in the Bland-Allison
act which brought on the panic of 1898
and prevented the adoption of the gold
standard for years.
Dolliver had referred to Allison's
constructive craftsmanship in the for
nation Of government for the city OF
Washington, by saying that Allison
had reported 4 bill that was suggest
ed as a temporary expedient to be
superseded as soon as a permanent
scheme Of administration could be pro-
vided by congress-" and Judge Prouty
admitted that nothing more clearly
portrayed the peculiar genius of ALL
son Than that very sentence of Dol
liver's.
AS to resumption of specie payment
the legislation was unanimously passed
in the senate and Allison had merely
demonstrated his capacity to lead
when going with the crowd.
Dolliver referred with pride to AL.
lison as the father of our present
financial and banking SYSTEM" and
Judge Prouty thought that this was
a doubtful compliment when all finan-
ciers agreed that our system is about
the worst jumbled arrangement of any
civilized nation, and he wanted to
know where Allison was now since .
terrible panic had been brought on
amid prosperous times, and since
bankers everywhere were demanding .
change of this defective piece of con-
structive craftsmanship.
AS to Allison's connection with rate
regulation, Judge Prouty reminded
Deliver Of the fact that the power to
regulate rates was shorn from the in
terstate commerce commission in 1897,
and that the commission had asked for
it to be restored Immediately. He
wanted to know where Allison and
Deliver had been during all the ten
years from 1897 to 1906 He said it
was not until President Roosevelt had
forced a senate hearing that anything
was done, and that even the hearing
was becoming a farce until Cummins
appeared to testify in behalf of the
