The surfacing for the greater part Of this

BRYAN A MUDDLED MoRALIzER

In recent issue of the Commoner Mr.. Bry-
an say, :" Elections are public affairs and they
ought to be conducted in public way" That
is correct. Again, he says that ''secrecy as
to campaign methods, and as to the influences
which affect elections, is indefensible' y That
is correct also
But Mr. Bryan, following his usual bent
could not stick long even to obviously correct
principle. elf the demand was for the pub
LEGATION of past contributions and expendi-
tures," he said there might be some excuse
for refusal because such a course might
cause 'some embarrassment to those giving
and receiving" Why should Mr. Bryan con
slider tenderly the possible ''embarrass-
ment" Of men who have committed what he
declares to be an indefensible" public
wrong? IF Secrecy in such matters is
'indefensible," why does Mr.. Bryan defend
"secrecy''?
Again, he says, 1T is not necessary that
small contributions shall be made public. F."
Why not? Morally, what is the difference be-
tween the act Of contributing small sum, and
the act of contributing a big sum, for improp-
er or corrupt use in elections? The average
man, clearer Of mind than Mr.. Bryan seems to
be when he discusses any question involving
his political fortunes, will probably not be able
to see any moral difference whatever between
the one act and the other
The American people, without regard to par
ty lines, are anxious to get the dollar out of
politics; whether the dollar is an individuals
or a corporations is a matter of no special
concern to them. Its corrupt use is the thing
they object to, and they will not accept Mr..
Bryan obviously confused contention that
some men should have right to give, while
other men should not have the right, for Amer
lean citizens believe in the doctrine of equal
lty before the law.
Nor will they subscribe to any system of
morals which is elastic that it will condone
IN the case of one man acts that it will con-
denim IN the sase of another; that is not the
American idea. On this question, at least, Mr.
Bryan seems to be somewhat of a muddled
moralizer.-Seattle Post Tntelligencer.

government eXacts security for its depos-
its and that it should see that every widow
and orphan has as good security as it has.
This is all buncombe; you could rake Texas
with q fine tooth comb and you could not
find a widow orphan or anybody else that
would be fool enough to permit us to dis
eliminate in their favor the same as we do
for the government. Suppose man walked
into your bank and said: Here is $4,000
I want to deposit, but I want you to buy

bonds to hold as security for my deposit,
which will remain indefinitely, and you can
have the interest on the bonds. Wouldn't

sense it would occur to him that if he is to
furnish the money to buy the bonds and be
the custodian of the bonds he might as well
buy them himself and draw the interest him

The above is not the idle talk of a non
thinking man, illterate and inconsiderate, nor
is it the mouthing Of blatant demagogue
to array class against class and catch the
votes of the unwary and unthoughtful
This is the utterance Of a level-headed,
successful banker, Mr. Pondrom Of Texar-
kama, Texas, and was made in an address
before the last meeting Of the Texas Bank
ers' Association at Fort Worth. More than
this, it was made deliberatel y-even writ

that convention rose up to deny the state

1t used to be that when farmer or la
borer challenged the right Of the govern

and actually pay them interest to use the
governments credit for the purpose of is
suing money to loan to the people for more
interest-we say that once, when this right
was challenged, our bankers, congress-
men and our political orators all chimed in
to show us the benefcence of this great
system. Now, the plain, unvarnished truth
is admitted by a gentleman in the banking
business, whose sanity is not questioned and
whose business success is we'll known.
Let us repeat his summing up: eff he

it would occur to him (the government) that

WILLIAM r, HEARST AND HIS PARTY

The Independence League or Independence
party or whatever may be its official name,
has held it's national convention and nominated
a presidential ticket. This ticket will be be-
fore the people in the next national election
and receive more or less votes in several
states.
Just why this should be done is beyond the
ken Of an ordinary reasonable mortal. This
new party is not party of principle, organ
lied to contend for principles it believes para
mount or Important since Hon. John Temple
Graves, one Of its candidates, openly avows
that for want Of principles of its own it has
swiped those Of the populists, and that there
fore it claims the support Of the remnant of
populists that is left. When the party that
fathered these principles has steadily de-
creased as these principles were adopted by
either or both old parties, it seems absurd
for stepfather party to enter the arena and
contend for the little that is left with the
father party The Hearst party cannot gain
single electoral vote. 1t will get practically
no votes beyond the circle Of influence Of the
Hearst papers. And when a party without
principles of its own, without national organ
ization or national standing, enters a national
race it is Quixotic performance equal to the
windmill exploit of the Knight Of the Sorrow
full Figure.
The Independence party is a Hearst party
1t belongs to Mr.. Hearst 1t is financed by
him. 1t is directed by him. 1t is his play
thing Or his instrument with which he expects
or hopes to do something he has in mind
If Mr.. Hearst should suddenly die, or if a
lunacy commission should adjudge him crazy,
have him placed in a sanita1ium and appoint
some sane person to administer his estate who
would suspend the publication of his papers,
Col. John Temple Graves would forthwith re-
turn to Georgia, the fellow who heads the
ticket would return to the obscurity from
which Mr.. Hearst has pulled him, and the In
dependence party ticket would not receive a
single vote.
Has Mr.. Hearst a purpose in setting up
party and running presidential ticket? Some
thing he must have in mind, even as the Span
lsh knight Grant enlisted Sancho Panza and
set out TO rescue damsels in distress. Once it
was thought that Mr., Hearst really had some
practicable object in view, but latterly the
belief is gaining ground that he is merely a
rich man who is non compos mentis. His
last Quixotic exploit of putting out presi-
Dental ticket confirms this belief.
But the ticket is out, however it came to

approves and commends action taken
by District Grand Lodge No. ,, and
that the matter be referred to the ad-

tion prevailed.
The matter of Intermunicipal Co.
operation was then brought up for
discussion by Brother Jacob Furth,
who moved that II committee be ap-
pointed to investigate and consider
the question and to report its findings
and views to the president. Motion
prevailed. The president appointed
all the members of the executive COM
mittec with the request that they in
dividually present their views on this
subject matter before October |. 1908,
such views to be referred by the pres
idcnt To the advisory committee.

The matter of distributing the

The members of the general commit

the executive committee. requesting Il
liberal appropriation for propaganda
purposes in District No. |. The men,
lcrS of the executive committee in be-
half of their respective districts also
called the attention of the executive
committee to the needs in their dis

sum of three thousand dollars be ap-
propriatcd for propaganda purposes
this year. of which sum District No.
! to receive 5000 and the remaining
six districts T4OO each. Motion pre-
vailed
1t was further moved by Brother
Simon Wolf that the sum of $500 be
appropriated to be used at the discre-
ton of the president for such work
pertaining to the executive commit
tee in District No. as may be found
necessary by him. Motion prevailed
The president then brought to the
notice of the executive committee the
