NO MAN CAN LIVE TO HIMSELF

Men do not choose their parts in
life separately and individually in our
day, as they did in the days of our
fathers. The men are becoming rare
now who have business of their own,
undertaken upon their own individual
capital and built up and conducted
independently upon their own respon.
sibility. Professional men are rare
who rise to the top of their profession
without attaching themselves more
or less intimately to institutions OF
corporations of some sort-doctors to
hospitals, lawyers to great corporate
undertakings, men of science to the
great enterprises in which science Is
applied. Each man finds himself a
small part of some great whole, whose
operation is decided by votes taken
about long tables in directors rooms,
whose morals are composite morals, a
compromise combination of what the
material interests of the body dictate
and what the enterprise of it's mana
gers suggests, the character of every
man who participates being merged in
the general compound.-Presiden
Woodrow Wilson, in Leslie's Weekly.

of the game, pleading that they are
getting too old to play longer, or pres
sure of business or the like, and then
it will be that men from such a lague
as the Riversides will step upward
and make their bow to the public IN
the bigger games. Recruits may al
ways be had for the Riversides and the
Rlversides have the whole town to
draw from.
All power to the Riversides, they
are a credit to Hawaiian baseball!
There was talk of the Riversides
putting a team against the Santa
Claras, but, as has been noted, that
is all off
What the Riversides would like to
do now, as has been limited several
times, is to have it out with the
Keios at Aala Park.
Maybe that wouldn't draw a peach
of a crowd!

For the benefit of the Advertiser,
Joe Cohen says: "Why, the percen-
tage for base stealing is just the same
as the percentage for batting or for
anything else. Figure out how many
tries a man makes and how many
time he makes his tries good, then
figure your percentage. There's no.
thing to it. OF course to figure this
out, the scorer has to keep accurate
records of the game. From a properly
kept score it can be seen just how
every play came up, how the men
were advanced around the bases ana
how many out trying to steal A man
has to reach first safely before he can
begin to figure in the tsolen base av-
erages. When he is advanced he gets
no credit. If he makes a home run
every time or goes out at the bat or
on first, he never gets into the column.
A man on first steals second, steals
third and goes out trying to steal
home. His average is two out OF
three or .666. There's nothing hard
about that"

especially against such business-like
athletes as the Americans, with any
hope of improving, We must be bust
ness-like, too. Then the question aris-
es as to whether it is worth while TO
make a business of sport. Probably it
isn't; so we shan't go far wrong in the
cause Of true sport if we stick to our
antiquated methods"

Dissenters Hard to Find.

1t is difficult to find in Chicago or
anywhere else for that matter, Swed-
ish clergymen who are opposed to Judge
Taft. The Rev. NJ. G. Ranseen, of 70
West Huron street, is particularly
strong advocate Of the Republican can
didate believing that Bryan cannot be
depended upon, and that he will seize
any issue to win votes. In his support
of Taft, his brother churchmen in Chi
cago include such men as the Rev. DR..
s. Pearson, the Rev. G. A. Ellicott, the
Rev. Anders Andre, the Rev. G. s.
Ohslund of Bethel Church, Engelwood,
the Rev. Joshua Oden of Irving Park,
the Rev. Gottfried Nelson of Trinity
Church, Lake View; the Rev. John
Lundeen Of Irving Avenue Methodist
Church, the Rev. p. A. Helm Of the
Swedish Baptist Church, and the Rev.
Oscar n. Olson of st. Paul's Church.
The Rev. Andre, in vigorous express
sion, says: Honesty and fidelity are
inherent in the heart of every North
man. We have no use for Bryan be-
cause he breaches class hatred and his
principles are otherwise untenable.
Should he win our country viii receive
a setback"

To the Editor of the New York World:
The World plays fair with both cam.
didates, Bryan and Taft. That is why
half of your readers are Republicans.
Two weeks ago l wrote you indorsing
Bryan. Since then l have changed my
mind and shall vote for Taft.

will have a Republican Senate and
House opposed to him. Not a bill can
be passed without the aid of the Re-
publicans. Bryan will be tied hand and
foot. Taft, If elected, will be foot-free.
He will have experienced cabinet Off

army and navy?

All Of these men, it will be observed,

from unfortunate disturbances, extreme

"No thinking man can have any con-

(From Statement of Thomas e. Wat

Bryan we'll knew that the Parker
campaign fund of 1904 was raised by
the Wall street element Of his party.
He said so time and time again in pub
lie speeches and written editorials.
"Yet, he himself did not hesitate to
use that campaign fund. It was the
money of Ryan and Belmont which
paid for the luxurious special train en-
ployed by Bryan in his campaigning
for Parker.
According to Bryan himself, the
source of the campaign fund Of Judge
Parker was certainly not less than was
that Of the campaign fund of Roose-
velt

the most notorious of corporation GRIM

Mr.. Bryan,s Unsafe Record.

The Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent is doing his best to allay the ap-
prehensions of thoughtful men of his
own party, as well as the people gen.
orally, caused by his advocacy for years
of various and dangerous issues.
He seems entirely incapable of real
izing that when the people come to
weigh a Presidential candidate they
must, and do, take him for what he has
been as well as for what he pretends to
be. No man can be candidate for a
high Office in this country without hav-
ing his record taken into account If
that record has been cratic in adj
yocacy of visionary and dangerous
schemes, it fixes the character of the
man and no one with such a record can
be safely trusted with the administra-
ton of the government. Mr. Bryan has

ton Of intelligence? And yet no edu-
cational influence is more far reaching
in its effects, more practical in it's re-
suits, than that Of rural delivery.
Best Kind of an Investment.
Have we appropriated hundred
our navy, whose benefits are great in
maintaining our peace with all ma
tons? Having done this, shall we
say we cannot appropriate so much
as the cost Of two battleships for ru-
raj free delivery? Shall we not ex-
tend the benefits of this system and
pay it's carriers living wages, when
such extension would do more to keep
the nation protected against foreign
foes, by increasing the intelligence,
pie, who must finally man our ships,
than all the navies built by all our
millions expended? The people de-
mand this service, and it is not safe
to say that the thousands of petition
ers who have asked Republican Con-
gress to extend it, do not want it.
There is no government employe who
brings so much satisfaction to the peo-
pie, who works as hard, everything
considered, and who receives so little
pay, as a rural letter carrier.
Makes Country Life Attractive.
Rural free delivery taken in connec-
ton with the telephone, the bicycle
and the trolley, accomplishes much to-
ward lessening the isolation of farm
life and making it brighter and more
attractive. In the immediate past the
lack of just such facilities as these
has driven many of the more active
and restless men and women from the
farms to the cities, for they rebelled
at loneliness and the absence of men
tai companionship. 1t is unhealthy
and undesirable for the cities to grow
at the expense of the country, and
rural free delivery is not only a good
thing in ITSELF but it is good because
it is one of the causes which check
the unwholesome tendency toward ur-
ban concentration of our population,
at the expense of the country district.
ChampiOned by Republican Party.
Under Republican rule this service,
fraught with so much good to the
people of the rural communities, has
been nurtured and cared for until it
has become one of our permanent in
stitutions, against which no really in
telligent citizen should dare to raise
his voice. In his message to Congress
in 1900. referring to this service, Pres
ident Mckinley said:
This service ameliorates the isola-
ton of farm life, conduces to good
roads, and quickens and extends the
dissemination of general information.
Experience thus far has tended to al
lay the apprehension that it would be
so expensive as to forbid its general
adoption and make it serious burden.
Its actual application has shown that
it increases postal receipts and can be
accompanied by reduction in other
branches of the service so that the
augmented revenues and accomplished
savings together materially reduce the
net cost"

BRYAN STICKS TO
SILVER FALLACY.
Declines to Let the Public Share His
Present Monetary Beliefs.
Unpublished Correspondence Re-
vea1s Him Still Tenacious to
the Theory of 16 to i.

w. ]. Bryan, Democratic candidate
for President, would, if he were elect
ed, and if the conditions of the coun-
try seemed to him to become the same
as they were in 1896, favor the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at
ratio of 16 to /, just as he did in 1896.
At least so he said in personal letter
written some months ago to Capt.
James Ross, of Columbis, Ohio, and
now for the first time brought to the
attention Of the public.
But strange though it may seem to
the unsophisticated Mr.. Bryan most
emphatically does not want his con-
victions on this subject made public.
He not only refuses to discuss the
question, but he also refuses to allow
his former discussion Of it to be
printed.
Answer to Taft's Inquiry.
However, the problem which puzzled
Mr.. Taft in his speech delivered last
Monday in Cincinnati now is solved.
And thereby hangs tale and five inter
esting letters Four Of the letters
throw much light on Mr.. Bryan's atti
tude toward "free silver" though the
most important of all, the letter which
Mr.. Bryan marked Personal" cannot
be printed unless he gives his permits
sion.
Mr.. Taft said Of Mr.. Bryan:
''He does not now say whether he is
still in favor Of the free coinage of
silver. He does not now answer the
question whether, If he were President
and an exigency should arise in which
he would be called upon to exercise his
discretion affirmatively to maintain the
parity between silver and gold, he
would exercise that discretion"
Capt. Ross Letter to Bryan.
Last March Capt. Ross was ponder
ing on the same question, and his
wonder took form Of letter to Mr..
Bryan. which in part is as follows:
at is said by some that during for
mer campaigns in which you were
Presidential candidate that with equal
eloquence you argued in favor of free
coinage Of gold and silver at the ratio
of is to 1, but since you have changed
your mind and intimate that you may
in time change your mind in regard to
the question of guaranteed banks.
"Were you right then, and if the
conditions were the same now as then
would you favor free coinage Of gold
and silver at the ratio Of Is to 1?
JAMES B. ROSS"
Mr.. Bryan's reply was delayed until
May. Then he wrote letter marked
Personal" which Capt. Ross refuses
to publish unless Mr.. Bryan consents.
But Mr.. Bryan refuses to consent.
Not Satisfactory to Ohioan.
The tenor of Mr.. Bryan's reply, how
ever, is revealed in the second letter

Watterson's Ex-Opinion of Bryan.

In 1896 this is what Henry Waiter
son thought of Mr. Bryan:
"Mr. William J. Bryan has come to
Kentucky and Kentuckians have taken
his measure. He is boy orator. He
is a distinguished dodger. He is a
daring adventurer. He is political
faker. He is not of the material OF
which the people of the United States
have ever made a President, nor is he
even of the material of which any
party has ever before made caIdi-
date for the Presidency.
"This youngster, who has set himself
up as the financial teacher of the
American people, travels over the land
with a tireless tongue and a volulni.
nous vocabulary blandly telling the
people of the impossible things that
will happen in the future with free
coinage of silver when he is utterly
ignorant of the simplest facts of orr
past financial history"

MR.. TAFT ON THE AVOID
ANCE OF INDUSTRIAL
STRUGGLES.

There is a class Of capitalists
who look upon labor unions rs
vicious per Sc, and a class Of rad
zeal labor unionists who look
upon capital as labor's natural
enemy. I believe, however, that
the great majority of each class
are gradually becoming more con-
ciliatory in their attitude the one
toward the other. Between them
is larger class, neither capital
list nor labor unionist, wiO are
without prejudice, and 1 hope l
am one of those. The effects Of
the panic are not over. We must
expect industrial depression. This
may be fruitful of labor contro-
versies. l earnestly hope that
more conservative and conci:ia-
tory attitude on both sides may
avoid the destructive struggles Of
the past.

vocating Roosevelt policies is a much
more attractive proposition than Bryan
advocating his own policies.
