BRYAN IN LEAGUE
WITH LIQUOR DEALERS
Gov. Hoch Has Some Interesting
+ Correspondence on the Subject.

Gov. Hoch Has Some Interesting
I Correspondence on the Subject.
Just as the temperance people OF
Kansas were beginning to believe that
VIM. j. bryan. the Democratic candi-
date for President, would make pretty
good standard bearer, Governor iloch
comes along with some correspondents
that Is calculated to put Bryan out Of
the running US temperance candidate.
Governor Hoch got into an argument
with Democratic politician at Marion
and made some statements lie could not
back up with proof on n moments no.
tice. However, he sent to Nebraska
for 1t and got everything lie wanted.
The Omaha editor to whom Governor
Iloch wrote not only confirmed every
statement made by the governor but
he sent copies OF letters written by Mr..
Bryan himself in regard to the pro-
hibitOry amendment when 1t was up for
adoption by the people Of Nebraska
in 1890.
In this letter Mr.. Bryan says In other
words that he Is opposed to prohibition
but that he wanted the Nebraska Dem
ocrats to make no declaration Oh the
subject. This occurred In the campaign
in which Bryan was elected to Con-
SiSso. lHc bcluOCIutlC plutlOTH uc-
clared against prohibition and Bryan
stumped the State on the anti-prohIbl-
tion platform. All this Is shown In the
correspondence In the hands of Gov
ernor HOch and 1t is brought out by the
criticism made by Democrats of Taft
because In speech In Topeka three or
four years ago he made the statement
that "it is hard to legislnte morals into
people,"
The Bryan letter written to Demo
cratic friend prior to the Democratic
convention In Omaha In 1880 reads rs
follows:
Your favor Just received. | expect
TO attend the convention at Omaha and
am glad you are going. l will try and
leave here at once, so that we can
get together and talk over the platform
before the convention. I have no doubt
We will agree on tariff opinions. but
l have been In much trouble over tho
temperance plank. I, like you and the
great bulk Of the party, am opposed to
prohibition, but thought rs the Repub-
licans took no stand on prohibition we
had better content ourselves with a dec
laratlon against sumptuary Legislation,
such rs we usually have.
I'VE have n number OF men who will
vote for the prohibitory amendment
They do not ask us to declare in favor
Of prohibition, but simply to do MS the
Republicans have dOne-lcave II to each
individual TO vote as lie likes. BY de-
claring against prohibition we will lose
II good many votes, while we will not
gain Republican votes. We tried that
last fall In this county; declared in so
mnny words against prohibition. and
the saloons went solid against US.
Il wish could see you before the
convention. Can't you come up hero
Tuesday morning and go from here to
Omaha. md we can discuss ail planks7
VIII draw up the plank you suggest.
Yours truly.

BONAPARTE GIVES DATA.
Replies to Daniels's Second Letter on
Trust Prosecutions.


Attorney General Bonapartc has re-
piled to q second letter from Joseplius
Daniels. chairman OF the press bureau
OF the Democratic national committee.
at Chicago, In which he complained
that In the attorney generals answer
to his irst inquiry rs to trust prosecu-
tions he had not differentiated between
the prosecutions under the Sherman
antitrust law and those under other
laws. Answering the inquiry specific
ally, the attorney general states that
under the Sherman antitrust law pass
ed In 1890 there have been sixty-five
proceedings In all. fifty-six under Repub-
lican and nine under Democratic ad-
ministrations, fOrty-six since Mr.. Roose-
welt became President. In September.
1901. and nineteen during the preceding
eleven years.
Among the prosecutions Of the Demo
cratic administration the attorney gen
eral says Is included resistance to the
petition Of Eugene V. Debs for a writ
Of habeas corpus. 1t Is also asserted
that five out Of nine proceedings under
Democratic rule were directed against
labor organizations and their leaders.
and that under Republican rule there
have been In all three such proceedings
out Of hfty-six.

NsUREs AGAINST DEMOCRACY.
Big Wool Firm Fears Loss Should
Organism Prevail.

0IyAulBm 1IoVAA.
Sigmund Silberman Of the firm Of
Silberman Bros. dealers in raw wool.
Chicago, have offered n premium Of
$4,000 for a 100000 insurance policy
against the election Of Bryan.
The firm Is one OF the largest Of Its
kind in the west and handles annually
2J.OOO.0OO pounds OF wool. The stock
being carried over election il about 10.-
100000 pounds.
I'VE could easily afford to pay the
large premium" said Mr.. Silberman.
''fOr II Mr.. Taft Is elected we can af-
ford II. and II Bryan is elected our
loss probably will be 100000. We
would lose at least l cent a pound of
we sold Immediately after his election
or II we held 1t six months It would
cost us a cent a pound for storage and
care"
Mr.. SIlberman Is a Republican and Is
confident Of Taft's election, but said
that his offer to pay n 10 per cent
premium on a policy maturing In less
than three weeks was entirely a busi-
ness proposition unaffected by his po-
litical views.-Chicago Tribune.

LOST ONLY BIG CASE.
Bryan Xads Poor Showing Before
United States Supreme Court.


United States Supreme Court.
In 4 letter to the New York World
New York lawyer punctures Mr.. Bry-
ans legal record as follows:
"Mr. Bryan's qualifications for high
executive Office must be inferred from
his record In the four lines Of work In
which he has engaged-namely, those
OF lecturer. journalist. lawyer and colo
mel.
AS lecturer he is certainly at least
the equal of Mr.. Roosevelt. As jour
nalist he IL probably the equal Of Mr..
wattcrson or Mr. Hearst. In either
capacity he Is probably the superior OF
Mr.. Taft.
AS a lawyer he can best be Judged
by his most famous case. This was the
Nebraska rnte case. His State impos-
ed a tariff Of maximum rates upon the
railroads and hired him to defend It
in the Supreme Court. The case was
brought by persons interested In the
railroads against the officers Of the
State to get an injunction to prevent
the enforcement OF the law. This rails
ed, Of course, the question whether
such an action is not an action against
the State and therefore forbidden BY
the eleventh amendment to the United
States Constitution. 1t is the same
point which many Of the Western and
Southern States have been endeavoring
to make during the past year for the
purpose Of preventing injunctions
against their two-cent-fare laws.
The Attorney General Of Nebraska
took the point In this Nebraska rate
case. but Mr. Bryan overlooked 1t when
he came TO argue the case In the Su-
preme Court. He made no defense
against the Injunction on this ground.
lie was beaten in the case. and its de-
cision has been the basis for the devel-
opment OF the doctrine Of Interference
by the federal courts with rate legisla-
tion. II Mr.. Bryan were President
would he be likely to get the nation
into difficulty by similar oversights?"

DEPOSIT GUARANTEE AT WORK
Growth of Banks in Oklahoma Are
Boosted by Promoters.

Boosted by Promoters.
The purpose OF the deposit guarantee
plan Is to secure greater safety for de-
posits. But the business world wants
sound banks ns well as safe deposits.
The failure OF the deposit guarantee to
meet the need OF the business world.
and Its contrary tendency to encourage
unsound banking. Is evidenced in Okla.
homa. where. since the guarantee law
went Into effect. out Of seventy seven
banks organized, forty-two started busi-
ness with but $4,000 capital. One pro-
motcr Is said to have planned the or
ganization OF twelve more. No guaran-
tee Of deposits can offset the danger Of
unsound banks. Even II Insurance Of
deposits were all that Is needed to per.
feet the banking system. It must b
recognized that no wise scheme. Of In
surancc perpetrates the folly OF encour-
aging or permitting continued In

These are not the words OF
Abraham Lincoln we are quoting
now, but the words of the man
who perhaps of all men came to
know Lincoln best:
His heart was so tender that
he would disnount from his horse
in a forest to replace in their nest
young birds which had fallen by
the roadside; he could not sleep
at night if he knew that a soldier
boy was under sentence of
death"
Thus John Hay wrote of Lin
coin.
In the book known as the The
Rough Riders, there is present
ed a picture of another President
of the United States:
Lieutenant Davis first ser
geant, Clarence Gould, killed a
Spanish soldier with his revolver
ljust as the Spaniard was aiming
at one of my Rough Riders.
| AT, about the same time I also
killed one. I was with Henry
Bardshar, running up at the
double, and two Spaniards leap

COOPER met USUAL
SUCCESS IN PITTSBURG
Received Thanks from Hundreds While in

Cooper's claim that the human stom-
ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
Zone of the most unusual statements
was made by Mr.. G. W. Woods, OF 1O3
South Highland Street. He said: For
four years my wife was in very poor
health. She was weak and thin, with
a hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and | was
inclined to believe them. 1t certainly
looked as though her days were num-
bered, and there appeared to be very
little ground for hope.
"'Shortly after Mr.. Cooper came to
Pittsburg began to hear of wonderful
i results that had been obtained by per-
sons who had tried his MEDICINE, so l
got some for my wife. She had taken
! it only two days when she was relieved
of a tapeworm AZ feet long. She be-
gan to improve immediately-has gain
ed seven pounds since she began tax.

and looks very much better. II any
