CLOUDS ROLLING BY.
Lumber and Shingle Markets Showing
Signs of Improvement-Mills
Will Resume This Week.

While no official announcement of
an increase in the price of shingles
has been made, yet shingle manufac-
turerS in Aberdeen are confident that
it will be but a few days before the
quotations are raised 10 or ID cents
over the present price of $1.50
thousand. The fact that so many in
quiries are being received here is an
indication that the trade is assum-
ing a more healthy tone
The inquiries are exclusively from

ness, however, is said to be at the
level that has prevailed for some time
and dealers are not expecting an in
crease until the fall. They are really
more certain of the outlook at this
time than they have been for months
past. The output has been some
what curtailed and stocks more or
less depleted.
After remaining idle for three
months the Aberdeen Lumber and
Shingle company at South Aberdeen
will be started up next Thursday
morning. One hundred men will be
placed at work.

tlon. The Democratic party is in fa-
Vor or remedies demanded bv wage

with the independence party simply

might be made in regard 10 those
who favor tariff reform, the exter-

monopoly and the remedy of other
evils which have grown up under Re-
publican administration The 0ues-
ton is not whether one can get all
the reforms that he wants. but how
ne can get the most reforms. The
Democratic party offers him the hest
opportunity to secure that which is
obtainable at this time
In regard to William II. Taft's
speech of acceptance, Bryan said:
THE most notable feature of his
speech is his attempt to amend the
Republican platform by grating up
on 1t some OF the planks of the De-
mocratic platform. He is evidently
not satisfied with the work of his
convention and is deeply impressed
! by the work of the Democratic con-
vention. He is uncharitable. how
ever, in not giving the Democratic
party credit for having pointed our
the reforms which his own coryen-
zion repudiated, but which he, in a
nan -hedI'eu way, endorses. The
! speech shows that he fears the up-
rising which Republican abuses have
caused, and yet he hesitates to adopt
real and substantial reforms"

The Sunshine club which is working
overtime to prove that the late Re-
publican deluge was merely a show
er and that if we will all put faith
in what the Sunshine club tells us
ana by taking a kind of Republic
can faith cure the late panic and
he still present business depression
will disappear and prosperity re-
appear.
The fact is the trust magnates
and the railroad managers have all
Joined the Sunshine clubs in their
cspective centers and are literally
contributing towards the dissimin-
alton of Sunshine news. They are
sending it to all the newspapers not
forgetting the labor papers, and the
bathroom story is evidently intended
for the especial consumption of the
Workingmcn to show them the ac-
tual prosperity that awaits all
Americans if they vote the Re-
pupiiodH 'iChet ana 40 not llSten to
the wicked Gompers, who would lead
them off into the barren field of De-
mOcracy. The Democratic manag-
ers, however, view the matter with
considerable complacency. for it
shows that the Republicans have
discovered it is necessary to look
after the labor vote even in such
d state as Pennsylvania with its
enormous Republican majority, and
they draw the conclusion that in
many other states the labor vote will
be almost solid for the Democratic
ticket.
The "American" workingman has
had his eyes opened. He now sees
that protectionism and other Re-
publican policies are not panic
proof He is still suffering from the
high prices of all he buys that his
lords and masters the trusts and
corporations can eXtort by virtue
of the monopoly the tariff policy of
the Republican party gives them.
He breads the certain reduction of
wages after election" if the trusts
and corporations achieve another
lease of power through Republican
success
The greatest fear of the American
workingman is that if the Republic
cans are successful he can no longer
appeal to force of arms-the strike,
the boycOtt-and without these he
is helpless to protct himself and
therefore the modification of the
right of court of equity to issue
injunctions is the paramount issue
of the campaign.
How can the american" work.
lngman, therefore, resist the oppor-
tunity to defeat his enemies and re-
store his lost opportunities From
present appearances at least two
thirds of organized labor will vote
the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Bryan has appealed to every
Democratic newspaper to open a
subscription list for campaign
funds, and if the editors will lay
before their readers the necessity of
giving what they can afford there
is no doubt that all legitimate eX-
penses will be met. The legitimate
expenses of presidential camDaign
are enormous-the Republican man
ayers estimate it at $3,OOO,OOO, but
they are naturally eXtravagant. If
half that sum is donated by Demo-
cratic patriots, the issue will not be
in doubt from lack of campaign
funds.

THE WORLD" AND BRYAN

HHE friends of William Jennings
Bryan object to the attempt of
II the New York World to prevent
his nomination by threatening greater
Republican majorities'' if he should be
again chosen to lead the Democratic
party. The New York World, of course,
does not speak for the Democracy of
New York It's editorial columns mere
ly furnish a record of an individual
opinion that is supposed to be in tune
with a collective opinion. The New
York World can neither m. Ike nor mar
Mr.. Bryan in New York nor anywhere
else, and it's cries of DOGGY man are
merely typical examples of the lengths
to which certain eastern elements in
the Republican party are willing to go
in order to prevent the greater De-
mocracy of the United States from
carrying out it's wishes, if it's wishes
should take the form of another nomi-
nation for Mr.. Bryan. The Worlds
statement that the Republican party
has enjoyed a big spree or orgy of
power is so apt that it can hardly be
improved upon. The Democrats have
now the chance of sending the Repub-
lican party off to the woods to sober

RYAN AND BELMONT

ID ECENT press dispatches have
II, stated that that distinguished
bunch Of Democrats (for reve-
uue1 composed of Messrs- Ryan. Bel
mont and their associates have got to-
gether aud Invited Mr.. w. J. Bryan to
refrain from offering himself as the
leader &C tho Democratic party during
the next presidential contest.
we wonder what part of the De-
mocracy of the country these gentle
men think they represent. If they as
sumo that they represent that portion
of the party who are fit associates for
them morally, then it is hardly likely
that their particular wing of the party
will cast many votes for president I'M
less the polls shall be set UP in the
penitentiaries OF the country.
The gentlemen who have been so
busy looting the street railway sys-
tens of New York that they have sue
eeeded, according to the evidence sub
mitted before the Public Utilities Com
mission of New York, in diverting to
their particular personal and private
use over ss0.OOO.O0O of the funds of the
New York street railway companies
that should have been expended for
the benefit of the stockholders of the
companies and of the public patroniz-
ing these companies, must not mag
inc for moment that they can use
the Democratic party of the country in
the same way that they have used the
New York street railway companies.
The less these gentlemen have to
say about the management of the
Democratic party. the better for the
party, and most probably the better
il will be for them if they desire to
avoid treatment which to men of or
iinarily dense cuticle would be ex-
ceedingly humiliating. Neither Mr..
bryan nor any other leader of honest
men could have a more eminent dis
tinction thrust upon him than their
disapprcval In fact the strongest title
which Mr.. Bryan has to the confidence
and support Of his fellow citizens is
that his private life represents every
thing that Ryan, Belmont and their as
soeiates are not, and his public life
has beer, passed in endeavoring to en-
force principles of government which
have secured for him the disapproval
of Messrs. Ryan, Belmont and others
of their type.
The further the party can get away
from association with and control by
men of the n-Belmont stripe, the
more worthy it will be of the conf
dence ana support of honest men, and
If it should be so unfortunate as to
fall under their control it should, and
most certainly will, forfeit the sup
port and confidence of every honest
voter and every honest newspaper in
the land

stubhorly refuse to take into account

tape every Los Angeles representation
on this subject, which is of vital i'm
portance to the community.
AS in the case Of the city Jail, Off
Gals are not to be blamed for the con

Acts and declarations of third parties

itv of a defendant are inadmissible
against the latter and the admission
of such. when injurious to defendant,
is ground for reversal. The cross ex-
animation of a defendant cannot be
extended beyond the subject matters
concerning which he was examined in

of a defendant upon matters not tes-
tilted to in direct examination is not
cured by the witness answering such
questions in the negative, where such

introducing certain evidence in rebuff
tai, which properly was a part of the

FAITHFUL SANTA FE

'H\HE Santa Fe railroad is a favorite
with the people of Southern Cali
- fornia. Its timely efficiency and
public spirit brought them material re-
lief from the attempt of the Southern
Pacific to Introduce and enforce an
arbitrary and excessive freight rate.
In view of the past relations of the
Santa Fe and the public it will be a
source of unqualified joy to the peo-
pie of California if any influence
which Mr.. Hartman may have ac-
quired over that road should be dissi-
pated by the action taken by the gov
eminent to divest the Union Pacific
company and its immediate subsidiary
corporations of control of the Southern
Pacific and to declare illegal its own
ership of stock in any competing roads.
The Santa Fe railroad has been a pub
lie servant in the highest sense of the
term, and the people are, in conse-
quence, so friendly to it that they do
not wish to have it in any way asso-
ciated with the Southern Pacific and
it's methods. To see it retain and
maintain the high and honorable posi-
tion it won for itself by admirable
methods of management and to remain
ever faithful to the interests of the
public is, undoubtedly, the wish of the
overwhelming majority of the people
of the state of California.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

NHE minister who says that moral
strabismus is affecting the per-
ceptive faculties of modern society
and causing a confused appreciation of
the difference between right and wrong
will find many sympathizers, even
among optimists. Optimism itself must
beware of the prevalent strabismus. 1t
is wrong to be persistent knocker and
q chronic growler and bewailer, but it
is equally wrong TO shout that every
thing is all right when everything is
not all right. Jesus, whose philosophy
covered the entire range of human
mentality and resultant action, put on
his black list, among the scribes and
pharisees, the perpetual 'let well
enough alone folk who cried Peace,
peace, when there was no peace" 1t is
as wrong to cry peace, peace, when
there is no peace, as it was for the
shepherd boy in the story to cry wild
heast!' when none was menacing his
flock. Perhaps some Los Angeles min
listers may be induced to adopt our
suggestion and preach, at intervals,
sermons on "Americanism" and it's
suggestion and preach, at intervals, ser
mons OH "Americanism'' and its foun-
dationa' principles, which alone-and
not the sword of Bunker Hill-give this
nation its valid, reasonable and logical
excuse for it's independent existence as
IA brigh- star shining apart from the
constellation OF the English speaking
countries and provinces. The British
empire expresses and perpetuates the
old-time idea of power derived from an
individual head, and diffusing itself in
ever widening circles among an increas-
ing and far sTread population. Amer
tea expresses power originating in the
people. and travelling inward in con-
centric circles till it's chief executive
responsibility IL devolved upon one
central office, filed upon the elective
and no. the hereditary principle.

their zealo1- advocates. But while in

superiority o. our own when we read
