DISCARDED ISSUES.
Bryan's Alarm About "Militarism"
Has Faded
(From the Kansas City Times,l

From the Kansas City Times.l
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan made an ominous
noise about "militarism." He conceived
the idea-or at least advanced the
theory-that because the country had
acquired the Philippines and Porto Rico
and because provision had been made
for an increase in the regular army, the
Republican party was about to put into
effect a policy Of world conquest; that
this was to be made military nation !;
that the ideals OF the young men were
to be turned from the arts Of peace
to the arts Of war, and even that the
enlargement OF the army was to be
standing menace to the cause Of Amer
lean labor.
And all this because the standing
army, which consisted OF 25,OOO men
when the Spanish American war be-
came inevitable, was to be increased to
a possible maximum Of 100000. The
reason for this latitude Of increase was.
Of course. the necessities SO impressive
fy revealed through the experiences of
the war with Spain, and Mr.. Bryan had
reason to know just what those neces-
stiles were.
Since Mr. Bryan's fearful and won
derful alarm about ''militarism" the
army has been increased from 25,OOO to
10000 men. Not one Of the evils pre-
dicted by Mr.. Bryan has attended this
enlargement. Would Mr.. Bryan reduce
the army? II so. why does he not de-
mand reduction? Why did he not put
a reduction plank In his platform? Or.
does his silence this year on the sub
ject of "militarism' mean that Mr..
Bryan now admits the absurdity Of his
pOsition in 1900?

Political Snapsh OTIS.

Mr.. Bryan is making strenuous eff
fort to confine the discussion OF issues
in this campaign to the declarations Of
the Denver platform His attitude in
this matter is sadly inconsistent with
the claim which he has made for twelve
years that he is the fearless champion
Of the people. When he pleads immun-
ity from attack on any issue which is
not in the Denver platform he comedies
that he Is a statesman afraid Of his
own record. But Mr.. Bryan cannot es-
cape from his past.-Baltimore Sun.
Mr. Bryan Is not on trial for what
he has done, but for what he proposed
to do, what he did his utmost to ac-
complish and what he would have done
If the people had given his a chance.

sidered by the light Of his record

TAFT STRIKES BANK INSURANCE.
Shows the Glaring Fallacies Of the
Scheme by Plain Reasoning.

,From Taft's Minneapolis Speech.)
Two objections are made to the con-
clusion that an enforced guaranty sys-
TEN would lead to recklcSsness and
disaster. in banking. one Is that the
government examinations would pre-
vent, and the other is that 1t is an
insult to the banking community to as
s,Ime that the national bankers OF the
country, in view of their present high
| character. would yield 20 the tempta-
ton TO recklessness presented by the
system.
Il answer to the first objection that
tie government examinations do not
now prevent banks from failing; that
1t Is difficult for a bank examiner to
discover the unwise reck'essness and
speculative loans, and that often such
loans are made between government
examinations. and then the evil is G,ne
and cannot be remedied by strict SUPER
vision.
Second, while | fully concede the
general high character Of the bankers
throughout this country, my point is
that the opportunity to obtain deposits
| and invest them on very little capital
afforded by the guaranty security will
attract into the banking business men
of no experience and Of speculative
| tendencies, and will distinctly lower the
| tone of the banking business.
"One Of the great merits claimed for
the enforced guaranty OF deposits is
that 1t will prevent panics. 1t is sutIi-
cient to say that the plan proposed
cannot prevent panics. A panic is not
stayed by the promise that money will
ultimately be Forthcoming. 1t can only
b" stayed by the production OF the
money itself. When a financial strin-
gency is on, it is the cash the man
needs, and to say that he will get it
Le xt week certainly does not assist him.
