HONEST TRUSTS.

What does Mr.. Kern mean by
honest trusts?n He says that the
Democratic party eutertains no ami
mostly against them. President Roo.e-
Welt has talked loud and long Iof good
trusts" aud it would seem that he
has persuaded himself that there are
no bad trusts, for had there been, be
would of course, have busted them.
We have not heard of the good deeds
OF any trust. nor one that is noted as
being equitable. A trust or combina-
ton to control the trade is designed
for monopoly, and monopoly never
deals honestly with the people for i,
aims At the high prices and without
some forms of monopoly there can be
no trust.
Let us hear no more. therefore. Of

SAINTS AND SINNERS.

Is there going to be parallel case in
this campaign to the Hartman Incl
dentin 1904, in which the virtuous
Roosevelt, tried to put Judge Parker in
the Ananias class, while at the same
time, urging Hartman, that "male-
factor of great wealth." TO boost the
campaign fund with contributions
from the railroads and the trusts? 1t
certainly looks that way, for while the
polite and no doubt honest Taft, is
giving out that no contributions will be
accepted from the trusts, his wicked &C.

A WISE APPEAL.

1t is doubtful whether the full sixn-
ficancs. as well as the political wisdom,
of the appeal of the Democratic man
ayers TO the farmers for funds with
which TO carry on their Presidential
campaign has been fully realized. Il
is not only marvelously shrswd poll
teal move; it is based on keen knowl-
edge of human nature.
Nothing is more reasonable than to
believe that other motives than those
ofpure patriotism have led in the past
to the large contributions that have
been made for the purpose of paying
the expenses of Presidential candidates.
Those who think at all about political
matters must realize that in many
cases there was = selfish interest be-
hind some contributions, and il is not
farfetched to believe that il political
pSrty owes the success of 8 hard-fought
campaign TO funds contributed, say, by
trusts, it in turn is likely not TO prove
altogether ungrateiul TO those trusts
when it comes to power. So, if a Pres
ident or party is fit to represent the
people, it is only logical that the neces-
sary funds for the campaign should
come from the people. II has been
part of the enunciated Democratic doc
trine not to accept money contributions
from corporations or trusts, aud the
avowed objection to such contributions
is that the party insisted on being
under NO debts of gratitude to such ill.,
terests if it should come to power.
1t takes money, and good deal of it
in these days, to run a political cam
paign. 1t 10 obvious that if the people
desire change in administration and
the election of Mr.. Bryan, they must
furnish the sinews of war.
The farmers of the country have, not
infrequently, made complaint that it
wat the bankers and the large manu-
tacturers and trusts who controlled the
government and that they had little or
no voice in it Mr.. Bryyn's appeal to
them individually to take an active
part in the present campaign, to con-
tribute funds, is at once an answer to
those objections and an opportunity
for she farmers to do their part. 1t may
De, of course, that Republican farmers
1 will cnnfrihute ~ the Ram hlica,, f,,Dd d.
it is the logic of the situation that they
should. But there is no getting away
from the fact that the thought of sseur-
ing this aid from the people who are
supposed TO be most interested was Mr..
Bryan's thought, and it seems not i'm.
probable that he will reap the most
benefit therefrom. = Wash. Herald.

The Hearst plan evidently is
to absorb the Populists and the
more radical part Of the labor
vote, and if MIR. Hearst himself
had been the candidate, there 10
no doubt but that he would have
received the support of reason
able percentage of such voters.
But the candidates selected by
the Independence party are en-
tirely unknown outside of their
own States, and it may be con-
sidersd that the Hearst danger
has passed. Voters as a rule are
not given to throwing away their
votes on the unknown candidates
of third parties. That is sspec-
tally the case with the labor vote,
which is seeking relief through
immediate Legislation and can
only get it through the success of
the Democratic party, which has
always been the friend Of the
wage Garner, the farmer, and the
producers, and opposed to mo-
nopoly in every form.
The first of the political frauds
that may be expected of the Re-
publican politicians in this cam
psign has already been reported,
aud the evidence of it comes
from Mr. Bryan's own State.
