PUBLISHERS VOICE A PROTEST
THEY WANT TARIFF ON WOOD
PULP REMOVED.
DalzelI and Payne Are Accused
of Acting in Bad Faith.

New York City. At Wednesdays
meeting of the American News
paper Publishers association a reso-
luton was adopted thanking Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his courageous
message in favor of free pulp and
print paper. Another resolution was
adopted which reads as follows:
"The American Newspaper Publish
erS' association, comprising repre-
sentatives of daily newspapers print
ed in every section of the country
and gathered in annual convention,
protests against the subterfuge just
designed by Speaker Cannon and Rep
resentatives Payne and DalZell, Great
ing committee on paper inquiry and
thereby blocking the Stevens bill for
free paper and free pulp.
I'VE charge that this device was in
spired in bad faith. Since early in
December, 1907, a committee of this
body has been clamoring at the doors
of the ways and means committee for
an opportunity to show the power of
illegal combinations of paper makers
to raise paper prices, an effect of eX-
listing tariff restrictions. Messrs.
Payne and Dalzell have repulsed all
such efforts. The speaker of the
house has turned away his face when
ever any member tried to raise the
issue on the floor of the house. We
are now amazed to find that Messrs.
Cannon, Payne and Dalzell have
changed their tactics and avow de-
sire to study the tariff phases of this
paper question. They say they want
the whole matter investigated thor
oughly, though they know that such
inquiry will carry over the entire
proposition to the next session of con-
gress. They now pose as champions
who have been eagerly asking for that
which for four months they had the
power to refuse and which they did
refuse.
with the utmost respect and defer
ence for the authority of congress, We
respectfully state that we mistrust the
committee just appointed. We chal-
lenge the intention of those who have
thus far succeeded in sidetracking the
Stevens bill. We charge that action
on the Stevens bill has been delayed
to the advantage of a combination of
paper makers who, in a desperate ef-
fort to maintain artificial prices upon
a declining market, have shut down
nearly so per cent of their mills and
who, by throwing into idleness a con-
siderable number of their employees,
have shown the insincerity of their
professions that the tariff duty on
paper was needed to protect that pa

DEATH CLAIMS STATESMAN
Sir Henry ampbell-Bannerman, Ex.
Premier of England, Passes Away.

London, England.-Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, former British pre-
mier, died Wednesday at his official
residence in Downing street.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was
born September 7, 1886. He was the
youngest son of the late Sir James
Campbell of Forfarshire, at one time
lord provost of Glasgow. He assumed
the additional name under the will of
his maternal uncle, the late Henry
Bannerman, who bequeathed to him
a large estate. In 1860 he married
Charlotte, daughter of Maj Gen, Sir
Charles Bruce She died in 1906, and
from that time Sir Henry's decline in
health may be dated.
For nearly 40 years he sat for the
same seattle Stirling burghs-and
his record of office goes back to 1871,
when he was financial secretary to
the war office, which post he held q
second time from 1880 to 1882.
On the resignation of the Balfour
administration in December, 1906, Sir
Henry was summoned by the king
and formed Liberal cabinet, himself
becoming first lord of the treasury
and prime minister.
The general election followed and
Sir Henry entered the new parliament
with the greatest majority ever given
to British premier.
Throughout his entire life Sir Hen
ry showed a dogged determination
that won him many adherents and
countless admirers, and caused his
opponents to hesitate before throw
ing down the gauntlet to him. He
was able to withstand attacks from
whatever quarter with stolid indif-
ference and to come back to the fight
undismayed, as though nothing had
happened. His unfailing humor and
his good will towards all men en-.
deared him even to those who op-
posed him or whom he opposed.
From the very beginning of the
present session of parliament Sir
Henry had been suffering i'll health
and after the opening day he practi-
cally had not been able to attend the
sessions at all, Chancellor Asquith
acting as premier in his absence.

MUST VOTE AS A
UNIT FOR BRYAN
INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN ILLINOIS
DELEGATES TO DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
FIGHT ON LIQUOR QUESTION
Was Made in the State Convention
and the Advocates of the "Great-
est Personal Liberty" Were
Victorious.

Springfield, Ill. - The Illinois Dem
ocracy on Thursday adopted the
unit rule and instructed it's dele
gates to the national convention at
Denver to vote for William J. Bryan
and to "use all honorable means" to
secure his nomination.
After hot fight in the resolutions
committee, which was carried into
the convention, the party adopted a
platform plank declaring in favor of
the greatest personal liberty" to In
dividuals, provided such liberty did
not infringe upon the rights of other
people.
Instead of naming the usual four
delegates and alternates at large to
the national convention, it was de-
cided to send eight, allowing each
man one-half of vote. Two presi-
dental electors at large We're also
chosen.
The resolution indorsing Mr.. Bryan
was adopted with enthusiasm and a
flattering demonstration followed the
action. For all that, however, it was
not worded entirely to the satisfac-
tion of Mr.. Bryan's most jealous sup
porters and in the last few minutes
of the convention Judge Owen P.
Thompson of Jacksonville, declaring
that Mr.. Bryan had been sold out"
demanded that a stronger resolution
be passed.
He desired to have the instruc-
tions so worded that Illinois would
be bound to support Bryan as long as
his name was before the convention.
His effort was made in the last few
minutes of the convention and it met
the usual fate of new business that
is sprung upon hot, weary, hungry
and thirsty delegates, who are anx-
ious to catch trains for their homes.
1t was overwhelmingly defeated
The convention, however, showed
sincere enthusiasm for Bryan. When
his name was mentioned there was in
variably great applause, and the read
ing of the resolutions in his favor
was greeted with cheers.
Roger c. Sullivan, national commit
teeman, dominated the convention
from first to last.

RECEIVERSHIP is ORDERED
Is Alleged to Have Defrauded
Many Clients.

Chicago, Ill. Judge Bethea in the
federal court Thursday appointed
Edwin c. Day receiver for the affairs
of the banking and brokerage firm of
Wallace II. Hopkins & Co., on a peti-
ton filed by three creditors. The pc
tition declares that the liabilities of
the firm amount to 100000 and places
the assets at $500.
F. A. Harper, who has been acting
as attorney for Hopkins, said that
the liabilities are not less than $780,
900. He said he did not know the
whereabouts of Hopkins and that he
believed he had left the city, One Of
the petitioners, w. c. Clark, charges
Hopkins with diverting $4,000 given
him to invest in board of trade trans.

Aldrich Bill Amendments

The senate passed the Aldrich bill,
much amended. OF course, the most
important change was the elimination
OF the provision authorizing the issue
of notes based on railroad securities.
Other amendments are the increase of
the permitted circulation from $3.50.
100000 to $500,000,000, and recurring
the banks to pay interest on govern.
ment deposits. The reserve provision
is better than it originally was, for it
is now necessary that of the Is per
cent. reserve required in nonreserve
cities four-fifths must be kept in the
vaults of the bank, of which amount
one-third may be in proper securities.
National banks are not permitted to
invest their funds in stocks or securi-
ties of corporations, the officers or di.
rectors of which are officers or di-
rectors of the banks.
The amendment offered by Senator
Nelson, providing for a guarantee of
deposits very much on the line of the
scheme proposed by Mr.. Bryan, was
voted down, and only two Democrats
voted for it. The bill finally passed
by vote of AZ to 16, five Republicans
voting in the negative. What are the
chances of this measure in the house
we do not know In our opinion it has
little merit. The idea seems to be
that it is necessary to do something,
and congress is less afraid of the
Aldrich bill than of any other We be-
lieve that it will give little or no re-
lief, when relief is needed, and that
it will prove to be only another OBJ
stacle in the path of real reform.-In.

Mr.. BRYAN Saves Himself.

The national Democratic club OF
New York, through Congressman
Sulzer, invited William Jennings Bry
an to attend it's Jefferson day ban
quet. Mr.. Bryan accepted the invita-
tions and requested that he be the
last speaker of the occasion, naming
The Art of Government" as his topic
1t then became known that large
element in the club was insisting
that, though Congressman Sulzer was
authorized to invite Mr.. Bryan to at
tend the dinner, he was not author
lied to invite him to speak. And it
became known, Furthermore, that a
large element of the club would insist
that Mr.. Bryan should be informed
that he would be expected to be a

Out of this misunderstanding a
heated controversy arose. Conse,

from Mr.. Bryan the following brief
but expressive telegram:

Fruit of Republican Rule.

Considering the per capita figures

the average American has no ground
for complaint. The 48,000,000 of Aus

So.O4 apiece or about oue-fourth Of the
average holding of the American. The
43,500,00o of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland have only
$175S, or about one-half of the Amer
lean average. Even in prosperous
Germany, with its population of So
100000, the per capita wealth is but

Hindus $3.05, while the Chinese. the
most numerous of all the peoples of
the earth, totaling approximately $780,
