| All the other enlightened Asiatic
countries share this East-Indian atti-
tude towards Japan. China appears
to be wide-awake in this respect.
From the manner in which the Celes-
tials are protesting against allowing
the Japanese to smuggle arms and
provisions of war into Manchuria at
the present time 1t IL evident that the
Dragon Empire is alive to the menac-
ing attitude Japan has assumed
toward Asia! The possibility of a
war between Japan and China perhaps
depends upon how full the Golfers OF
the Japanese excheQuer are; or how
much money England and other pro-
Japanese occidental nations can loan

it is that the entire orient is vibrant
with dread of the new Japanese

BRYAN AGAINST
WOOL GROWERS.
Proposed Policies Of Democracy
Would Wreck Wool Growing
Industry,

Mckinley was elected through a
number of Rocky Mountain states
which had voted for Cleveland. These
states were Democratic because Of the
large mining population. They turned
to Mckinley on account of the severe
punishment they had received by plac-
Ing wool on the free list during the
four years of the life of the Wilson
Tariff act, which on the theory of free
raw material swept away the duty
upon wool, and this nearly destroyed
the wool growing industry of the
United States; and If it had not been
saved by the Dingley act, which re-
stored the Mckinley duties upon wool.
the industry by this time would have
been wiped out in the United States.
Bryan hopes to carry Wisconsin, which
is a wool growing state, and the Rocky
Mountain wool growing states which
voted for Cleveland the last time. Ap-
parently he expects the wool growers
to overlook the fact that the Republi-
can platform expresses n elm
protection to American industries, par
ticularly mentioning the farmer, who Ii
a wool grower.
Bryan's election would be a menace
to the wool grower in two ways. Ths
Democratic party has defined its attk-
tude toward wool as a raw material,
although 1t Is the finished product Of
the farmer. 1t takes a whole year to
grow a fleece of wool, and in this cir
mate, where sheep are fed in winter.
they are fed crops, which represent L.
Dor aud high-priced American labor.
whereas the competitor Of the Amsri-
can wool grower is the wool grower OF
the Southern Hemisphere (Australasia,
the Argentine Republic and South Az
rica). who has the advantage OF psreu-
NAL pasture, and owing to this advan-
tage. the cost Of wool growing is only
one-half Of that Of the American wool
grower who, in the states enumerated.
have to feed their sheep in the winter.
Another way to destroy the American
wool grower would be by the destruc-
ton Of the American Wooden Company,
which 40 per cent Of Ameri-
can wool, on the ground that 1t Ii q
trust. The American Wooden Company
is composed Of what were formerly
some Of the largest mills Of the United
States. They are thus what Bryan
would denominate a trust" and as his
platform boldly declares that the pro-
ducts Of trusts should be put on tho
free list, he would destroy the market
for what American wool would be left.
Then, again, If, in order to strike at
the trust, he removes the duty upon
manufacturers of WOOL" he destroys
the other GO per cent of the independent
mills outside of the American Wooden
Company, or, in other words, those
that are not in the trust. The Bryan
policy spells ruin alike to wool grow

the event Of injury to an express mes
senser. Weight was severely injured,
and sued the railroad for damages on
the ground Of gross negligence. argu-
ing that the railroad company could
not make a contract evading It's re
sponsibility.
Judge Taft gave voight a judgment
Of $4,000 and costs, holding that the
express company had no right to make
such contracts; that they were oppres-
sive, unreasonable and unjust, and
were against public policy. and further
that the railroad company owed to the
express messenger the same public
duty which it owed to a passenger.
The path blazed out by Judge Taft
was followed In the new law referred
to, which provides That any contract,
rule, regulation or device whatso-

shall be to enable any common carrier
to exempt itself from n liability

A striking service to humanity which
william H. Taft rendered in his judic-

Ware, former Commissioner Of Pen

Star. Mr.. Ware refers to what was
known as the "voight case" which was
decided by Judge Taft in 1897. Judge
Taft's decision, although overruled by
the United States Supreme Court, is
really the pioneer Of a section Of the
present employers liability law, which
was passed through the efforts of
President Roosevelt and a Republican
Congress-, and approved April %, 1908.

Blowers association, has r%epudiated in
reference by Samuel Gompers, who ad-
vised the union to indorse Bryan for

Minnesota and Iowa for Taft.
Bryan is not to receive the solid labor
vote of Minnesota. Contrary to the re-
peated predictions and efforts of Demo
cratic labor leaders there appears to be
a big split in the ranks of organized
labor, and Taft will receive his due
share of votes from the union men.
Fifteen Of the most prominent union
men in Minneapolis have signed a cir
cular letter declaring they take ex-
ception to the methods used by the
Bryan element Of the organizations, and
many believe the labor men of the State
will exercise their individual Wills
when voting and will cast their ballots
for the Republican nominee.
There is every reason to believe that
a movement has set in among the la
boring classes of Iowa, the workers
in the large industrial communities,
towards Taft and the Republican ticket.
Not only are the labor leaders who
early in the campaign were advocating
the election Of Bryan less active in the
support of the Democratic ticket, but
many men less prominent but no less
influential in the councils of the vari-
Gus labor organizations are openly
counseling a more rigid scrutiny of
party promises and records.
