PRocLAIMING THAT he not only
believes thoroughly in every
plank laid down in the Denver
platform, but that he is willing to
be circnmscribed by its omissions,
Mr.. Bryan thus makes the first
of many telling points against
Taft and his party in the speech
to the notification committee.
To the Taft claim that the Repub-
!ican party represents the policies
essentia! to the reform Of known
abuses Bryan interposes ii 9
challenge that the Republicans,
had full and overwhelming control
of the national affairs for so long,
are responsible for the abuses Mr..
Taft admits, and for the extent to
which they have grown; and
hence are utterly unfit to be en-
trusted with the reforming Of
them.
With this as preludge. Mr.. Bry-
an launches into the discussion of
paramount issue set by the Denyer
platform-"Shall the people rule?"
He reduces all the other issues of
reform, regulation and advance
ment to harmony and dependence Z
upon this one purpose, the restor-
alton Of popular government to
hands untrammeled by obligations
to vicious, specially privileged
interests. And Mr. Bryan discusses
his theme so lucidly and cogently
and practically that everyone may
read and understand and be pre-
pared and eager TO hear what he
has to cay fur ther on in the cam
paign.
For, unlike Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Bry an
does not have to atone for a
lot of sine of omi .sion and commits
sion by his party in coayention
assem- bled, nor does Mr.. Bryan
needs submit his speech of accept
sncs to q "big stick" before
delivering il to The people. Mr..
Bryan takes the people into his
confidence. He has no need TO
issue modihsd, supplemented

Applying Republican Rule
to Panics.

The largest milling concern in

company of Minneapolis - went

urday.
the unsecured debts are more
than $4,000, 900, to pay which
there are 50, 500, 900, of SO. called
"liquid assets.'' The secured
debts in the shape of bonds are
something more than 1000, 600.
The capital of the company is $5,-
600, 900,
In the campaign of 1896 all of
the many failures that had taken
place for the next preceding years
were promptly charged up to II
Democratic administration. Get
ting down to particulars, the spe-
cific cause usually alleged was the
Wilson tariff, and before that the
generally devilish free dis
position of the Democracy. 1t was
held, and by none more vehement
ly than the Beacon journal, that
all sorts of business adversities
had their banefnl spring IN the
policies of Grover Cleveland and
that political administrations are
of right held responsible for IN
dustrial depressions, like the one
we are now chronicling.
Apply this rule-and being IA
Republican rule, who shall ques-
tion the equity of it?-to the case
in hand. What do we have?
Why, an industry heavily pro-
tected-in fact the very pet of the
farmer share of the protective
system-against foreign competi-
tion, going to the wall in the midst
of the benign era of Roosevelt
Taft prosperity.
Placing the responsibility where,
according to Republican doctrine
in 1896 it belongs, and drawing
from the big failure the usual Re-
publican moral Of that year, every
body ought to vote for Bryan.
This conclusion becomes even
stronger when we consider that
Roosevelt prosperity, of which
Taft is the sole heir-at-law, brought
the country last fall to the most
sudden and severe panic it ever
witnessed, when the people, in the
midst of money never before ap-
preached in volume, were reduced
to state of barter, condition
from which business has not yet
recovered in spite OF much whist
ling to keep up business courage.
Stronger yet IL the lesson in face

platform of his own. This Mr..
Bryan we'll declares, even if he
feels the need, a candidate has no
right to do, as 1t is not merely he,
but his party that is seeking power,
and those elected with him are
not to be bound so much by mis-
personal statements as by the
party's declarations.
Mr.. Bryan utilizes the Republi
can record, the speeches of Repub
lican congressman and others,
and the messages of the last Re-
publican President to prove that
this party has been recreant to its
trust and cannot be expected to
do any better in the future than
it did, for example, in the last
session of Congress. Why no
tariff reform2 Why no antitrust
laws2 Why no railroad legisla-
ton? Why no protection to the
people against stock jobbers and
infation2 Why no publicity of
campaign funds? And, finally,
why wait until after the election
to make the publicity which Taft
personally, not his party, promises
These are questions which the
Republicans must meet and
answer.
There is militant aggressiveness
about the Bryan speech that will
electrify the people who have been
waiting long and in vain for the
Republican regime, divided in its
allegiance, to do its duty. Mr..
Bryan, if elected, promises to
start Congress at once in extra
ordiLary session to work on the
abuses he assails. The senatorial
stronghold of privilege is to be
attacked, and their election bv
popular vote put up to the coutry.
Congress is to be relieved cf the
despotism which privilege has
arrogated to the speaker, and
other related reforms are to be
pushed with zeal and fidelity to
the principle of restoring popular
rights and popular rule that are
enough to make the present
obstructive school of statesman
gasp and tremble. The hour is
striking for these Belshazzars who
have refused to heed the signs of
the times, and Bryan is the Daniel
who is interpreting the fateful
sentences for them.

Mammoth Aerial Carnival

Rapidly dawning is the fifty
eighth annual ohio State Fair and
Industrial Exposition, to be held
in Columbus, August 81, Septem-
ber 1, 2, 3, 4, next, with advance
prospects that it will far excel all
others in educational entertain.
ment and amusement features.
Never before have such heavy
entries been recorded in its com
petitive departments, while the
demand for space for exhibiting
farm, shop and road machinery
has been so great as to completely
exhaust the capacity of the build
ings and plated ground devoted
to these displays, and it has be-
come necessary to create a large
overflow section of some fifteen
acres, that all may be accommo-
dated. When it is considered that
seventeen mammoth buildings are
devoted exclusively to exhibits,
some conception of the stupendous-
ness of the forthcoming Exposition
can be formed.
In anticipation of the splendid
displays now assured in the COM
petitive departments, the managers
have contracted for amusement
and entertainment features extra
ordinary, including an aerial car
nival under the direct supervision
of A. Roy Knabenshue. The car
nival has aroused the greatest in.
terest throughout the state, and
including, as it does, daily airshlp
flights, balloon races and ascen-
sions, will attract vast crowds. In
addition to the aerial carnival Wis
itors will be entertained with feats
of daring, skill and dexterity, in
cluding C.. E. Hardy, high wire
king; Matt Gay, somersault back
diver; Mile Spellman, with her
troupe Of fifteen trained bears, and
six other meritorious performances.
These acts will occur in the open,
positively free to all.
The official program of the Ex-
position has been issued, and we
note that Tuesday, September l,
has been officially designated as
Modern Woodmen of America Day.
On this date Woodcraft will hold
it's annual field day exercises, in
cluding prize drill to be partici-
pated in by crack teams of the
state and varied program of ath-
etic contests, with liberal prizes
offered in each event. The COM
mittee in charge confidently pre-
diets that twenty Thousand Wood
men will be in attendance, and
that the event will be the grandest
in the history of the Order. Mon
day, August 81, will be Women's
Free Day, while on the closing day
the gates will be thrown open free
to the children of the state.

According to previous appointment,
Messrs Gambler and Mitchell, candidates
for Congress from this first Judicial Dis
trict addressed the people of this place
and vicinity Monday. A large crowd
was out to hear the honored gentlemen,
many from Webster County, several
from Walthall, Eupora and Mathiston.
The entire audience gave the most strict
attention and every one present enjoy
ed the mastery and eloquent speeches
were applauded by almost the entire
audience, which would make it very
difficult to determine the strongest can
didate in this section and we believe
the general decision was, that either
gentleman would make fine represen-
tative in Congress, and serve the people
to the very best of their ability
We have not space to 60 into the de-
tails of the speeches, but each one set
forth their claims in an able and force
able manner and with the best of feel
ing toward each other which made the
occasion so much the more enjoyable. y
