We take the positian that there
is but two practical plans whereby
we can have good roads, and that
is to issue bonds and build roads
and to build them by degrees.
The latter comes nearer comport-
ing with the wishes of the people
who are opposed to debts of this
nature. 1t is impossible to build
good roads all over the country in
one or two years with the revenue
available for this purpose. Then
we suggest that the board build
few miles of first class road each
year until the whole country is
covered.

YOKE OF MOB RULE
INEVITABLE If BRYAN AND HIS
IDEAS WIN.
Nebraska Platform Proves That the
Perpetual Candidate" Has In
No Way Altered His Ideas
Still State Socialist.

The Nebraska Democratic platform
is known to have been revised by Mr..
Bryan and is believed to have been
written by him. In its pompous state
ment of self-evdent truths and in the
FEASIBILITY of it's half-truths it GER
tainly bears Bryan" stamped all over
it. Hence it may be set down as the
Bryan program.
1t contains, of course, all Of Mr..
Bryan's old hobbies such as the "elec-
ton of senator by popular vote and
it offers the sapient suggestion that
the way to bust the trusts" is to put
on the free list anything manufac-
tured by joint stock company.
1t also counsels, of course, the haul
ing down of the flag in the Philippines
and the abandonment of that Ameri-
can territory. 1t also looks forward
in times when every other nation is
getting away from academic free
trade" to tariff for revenue only
as a millennial condition toward which
we should strive.
The platform clearly declares for q
national income tax and a national in
heritance tax, not for revenue but to
reach swollen fortunes 1t does not
even pretend that a larger national
revenue is needed. 1t openly presents
these taxes" as a method of taking
away property from the men who are
supposed to have too much"
1t goes to the full length of state
socialism with respect to regulation
of commerce and industry. 1t "es-
serts' not only the right of congress
to exercise complete control over in
terstate commerce" but also the right
of each state to exercise just as COM
plete control over commerce within its
borders"
1t would have us all live at all times
under the shadow of governmental
inspection, state and national.
In brief. the Bryan platform invites
the yoke of mob rule and upon our
bodies the strait-jacket of state social
ism. 1t offers as a balm for our
wounds the hair of the dog that has
bitten us.
1t promises to keep on doing to us
only harder and more continuously
exactly what has been done to us for
the last three or four years, and what
has brought us to our present re-
verses.
Do We want more of the dose we
have had for the last six months?

can be but one answer.

BAILEY HYPOTHESIS is WRONG
Senator's Talks of Shylocks' Greed
Not Borne Our by Facts.

Senator Bailey in his speech on the
Aldrich bill scored the shylocks who
bring on panic, and then sit like
personifed greed upon their locked
and guarded chests of gold. There
they sit, according to the observarl
senator, until the hour comes when
they can buy three dollars worth of
their neighbours property with one
dollar of their boarded money.
The senator's assumption that the
shylocks of the country helped TO
bring on the panic for the sake of
profiting by it may pass for what it is
worth. 1t has not in the past been the
custom of men of great wealth active
ly engaged in financial operations to
start CONGREGATIONS that might do
them more harm than anybody else.
But if there were men sitting on
chests of gold which they did not open
until the bargain counter was most
attractive, there were in all parts of
the country men with a little money

The aftermath OF the great fall in
stock exchange quotations was not

holders Of the prominent corporations.
These numerous purchasers of small
lots Of stocks and bonds are no shy
locks. They are merely the sensible
pickers up of good bargains. Accord
ing to all appearances, the small in.
vestors got more of the securities
which their former owners had to
throw overheard during the panic than
the men did who had chests of gold
at their command. 1t is well that the
securities of corporations and their
profits should be distributed more gen.
orally than they have been. This
beneficent result of the panic Senator
Bailey cannot perceive. He can see
only the hypothetical gains of some
unnamed shylocks who, he says. pulled
down the pillars of the financial edi
fee that they might pick up some val
tables in the ruins.

Better Army Paw.

If the United States is to have and
maintain the kind of a regular army
ii needs in. numbers and quality it
must offer decent wage to the en-
listed men. The present figure of $13
month is ridiculous and obsolete.
The proposed increase of two dol
lars month. as provided in the Hull
bill, may seem niggardly on the face
of it; but 1t appears that provision is
made for further increase conditioned
on the soldiers will and ability to earn
IL. The enlisted man can earn max
imum Of $40 a month by attaining a
standardized degree of proficiency
with the rifle, and there are two In
termediate degrees of proficiency car
rying increases of two and three dol
lars, respectively. The principle of
offering this incentive to excel in the
main point of soldierly efficiency is
sound, and no man worth his salt will
rest content with the minimum of SIS
when he can qualify for $40
The house bill provides for increas-
ing the pay of the enlisted men only,
but there is a bill i'm the senate max
ing similar provision for commissioned
officers and the result doubtless will
be a reasonable increase all round 1t
Is a sheer case OF necessity. II We
are to get and keep the right kind of
men in the army, the right kind of pay
and other Inducements nkyst be of.

Party of Achievement.

1t is no accident that while the Dem.
ocratic party has but one candidate.
handicapped by perpetual defeat, the
Republican party has this great group,
each a man of special experience and
training Platform eloquence is Bry-
ans chief claim for recognition. The
candidates of the Republican party

have shared in the solution Of great
problems, state and national. They
are trained in the arduous school of
events because the Republican party
for threescore years has made history
and offered to those who join it as
young men the privilege of great Ca
reers in the service of great party.
With every new task the Repub-
lican party has shown new youth, new
strength and a new wisdom. 1t is more
than ever to-day the party of young
men. 1t attracts them by the oppor-
tunities of the future as well as by
the glories of its past. 1t never Of

Mary knew that somewhere a
woman's heart was breaking for this
fine young fellow, soft-handed, we'll

spying; that did not belong to her
Drenton's mind often went to the
many things Billy and Mary lacked
through needing money. The roof had
begun to leak badly, the well needed
new curb; moreover, there was the
donkey-cart still unrealized, not to

Of heating the house. Mary was
brave as she was thrifty; her hat
looked as though it had never been

through lack of Sunday clothes, yet
Billy was coddled and nourished until
he was driven to protest. Something
must be done, and quickly, before
there came the pinch of winter.
Drenton could do it, at no more sac

owed it to Billy, and especially to
Mary, to make the sacrifice. 1t was
only his word, rash and ill-condi-

Decline in china's Tea Trade.

Some interesting statistics have
been collected recently by resident
at Fuchau concerning the great de-
cline in China's tea trade. From 1878,
when tea was first introduced into
England, until 1897, China lad the
tea trade of the world. Then India
began to enter the tea market. The
Chinese trade reached high tide in
1886, with total export of 100000, 900
pounds. In 1884 China furnished about
70 per cent of the worlds total, India
and Ceylon IS per cent and Japan and
Formosa ten per cent. The decline
in China Is ascribed TO careless meth
