hesitancy in accepting the plank in

In letter to w. r. Stubbs. Republic
can candidate for Governor of Kan
sas, Mr.. Taft thus indorses this plank:
Il agree with you that the action
OF the Republicans of Kansas to an
enabling act, by which banks in Kan
sas may voluntarily guarantee each
others deposits, is very different from
the proposition in the Democratic
platform enforcing tax against all
banks. by which they are in effect to
guarantee the reckIessness and dis
honesty OF every other bank.

osition in the KANSAS platform avoids

Mr.. BRYAN AND
BUSINESS CONFIDENCE

!, Those who are declaring with ligh
I. hearts, here and there, that the cleo
, ton of Mr.. Bryan would cause no dis
, turbance and do little harm because
+ ms hands would be firmly tied by a
! republican Senate, do not weigh care
Iully the elements which make I'D
business confidence. Whether Mr..
bryan succeeded in doing much direct
INJURY TO the public credit and to bus
mess progress by his wierd notions on
pubic finance is not so much the
question as the indirect injury he
would do by the distrust which would
De caused in business circles by his
election, and which would probably
/ De prolonged through his administra-
| ZION. 1t is doubtful if large interests
would care to embark on new enter
lprlses under a government whose ex-
ecutive head had declared that "the
gold standard is a conspiracy against
the human race" and that it would
remain in force no longer than he |
could get rid of it. There is no indi- |
cation as yet that Mr.. Bryan has ex- I
perienced a great change of heart ON
these questions. On the contrary. his
iast convention at Denver expressly
declared that If there was to be an
emergency currency, "such currency
should be issued and controlled bv
the Federal Government. In other
words, free silver having been rele-
gated to the garnet, a still cheaper
substitute is to be found in free Gov
ernment paper. -
The actual execution of such /
projects may seem remote. but If {

| OF difficulty, and one which many
Americans would be glad to be rid of.
1t has been suggested that we might
relieve ourselves of this burden by
tho sale of the islands to Japan or
some other country. The suggestion
is absurd. Japan does not want the
Philippines. She has a problem of
similar nature nearer home. But
more than this. the United States
could not sell the islands to another
power without the grossest violation
or Its obligations to the Philippine
people. No other course In honor is
open to it. Under all these circum-
stances, then, could anything be more
wicked and more Infamous than the
suggestion of war between nations
who have enjoyed such a time hon
ored friendship and who have nothing
to fight for?"
In the ferVor Of his protestations 1

Mr.. TAFT kept far away from the over

PUNCTURE ANOTHER BRYAN

Bryan's theories might make good

some of them are novel in conception
They remind, however, of the story
OF hnding on man who had starved

elaborate scheme for funding the
English national debt. Governor
Hughes dealt on Thursday in his
speech at the Richmond County Fair
with Bryan's production restriction
theory, It might have been treated
IN an humorous vein. 1t is irresisti-
ply funny if not fraught with possible
disastrous consequences.

Our Cemetery In Mexico.

"Though very few people are aware
OF the fact" said an army officer the
other day, "the United States govern
ment owns and maintains national
cemetery in Mexico. 1t Is located at
San Cosme, near the City of Mexico,
and was purchased and established in
the year 1850 for the purpose Of In
terring the remains of the soldiers Of
the United States who died or were
killed In that vicinity during the war
with Mexico, and also for the purpose
OF interrlng the bodies of citizens Of
The United States who have died In
that vicinity since that period. The
existence of this cemetery was forci-
bly, recalled to the minds of the officers
of the war department recently by the
receipt of a requlsiton from the SUI
perlntendent amounting to $40 for the
payment to the government OF Mexico
for expenses incurred in connecting the
cemetery with the sewer system of the
city, Washington Star.
