NOTE OF WAR |S
 SOUNDED BY PILES

Washington, April 25 United States Senator Piles of Washington today declared, during an argument in favor of d four battleship amend mcnt to the naval bill, that war with Japan is likely at any time. The speaker said that in the face of all proteStatiOns to tho contrary the Asiatic war cloud is even now in the sky and that the threatening condi- tions make it imperative that the Atlantic fleet be kept on the Pacific side of the continent.
 Senator Piles was recognized as speaking for the president and his re- marks were given close attention. He demanded an increased navy as the only guarantee of peace.
 Senator Hale said that the navy estimate authorizes making the entire fleet one of thirty battleships, and further that there are many cruisers available for duty on the Atlantic.
 The house today passed resolu- ton authorizing the employment of patrol boats to guard the Atlantic fleet while it is in Puget sound.

SHAKING DOWN THE TRUSTS.
Chas. G. Dawes Visits Wall Street and
Promises Republican Party Will
ne Good

Under Now York date line of Sept.
10 the daily papers of the country
publish a dispatch from which the fol-
lowing is taken:
"The visit of Charles G. Dawes, of
Chicago formerly Comptroller of the
Currency, had more influence than
anything else in arousing Wall street
uneasiness. Mr.. Dawes came TO New
York primarily to raise money for the
Republican congressional campaign
committee, and he gave the people he
called upon very clearly to under
stand that the Republican majority In
the house is in danger.
wall street has steeled itself
against the opportunities Of political
canvassers for funds, but Mr.. Dawes
visit was unquestionably impressive.
The people who saw and heard him
were convinced that he really meant
what he said when he announced that
unless means were taken to arrest the
Democrats would swing into control
of the popular branch of congress and
probably elect president. Mr.. Dawes
did not confine his visit alone to
bankers and fnanciers. He devoted a
good share of his attention to leading
representatives of the manufacturing
interests. He carried away some
money, but not nearly as much as he
had hoped for"

COULDN'T STAND SHELDON.
Even Lt-Gov. Woodruff. Trust
Character, Said the Present Trea-
surer Of the National Commit
tee, Would Jeopardlze the
State Ticket.

George r. Sheldon, treasurer OF the
trust interests are well known, was
compelled, under fire, to withdraw
from the New York state ticket in the
fall Of 1902 when he was eager to
accept the office of Lieutenant-Gover-
nor. His connections with the trusts
and especially those owned and domi-
mated by ]. Pierpont Morgan and other
favored trusts, became such an issue
at that time that Governor B. B. Odell
fought against his name being placed
on the ticket Odell even went SO
far as to wire Timothy Woodruff that
no would not run on the same state
ticket with Sheldon. United States
Senator Thomas G.. Plat was deter
mined to have Sheldon on the ticket
and informed the Republican leaders
at the state convention at Saratoga
that Sheldon's name would remain on
the slate. The wires between the con.
yention city and Albany were kept
hot and, finally, Governor Odell was
COLptliCu W tdhC q ~ e~ih AZ GeAA ~ ID
in order to prevent Sheldon's name
from appearing on the ticket. Cover
nor Odell went direct to Senator
Platt's home in Saratoga and, after a
conference which lasted until 2
o'clock in the morning, Plat yielded
and Sheldon's name was withdrawn
and F. w Higgins was nominated for
the Office sought by George r. Shell
don.
When 1t was announced that Shell
don would not be on the ticket three
hundred delegates in front Of Platt's
house cheered the glad tidings.
Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff, when asked at
that time why he objected so strongly
to Sheldon, said:
~ have no personal anImoslry To-
ward Mr.. Sheldon. | believe that The
objections that have been raised 70
him are Of the sravesi sort and that
they jeopardize the state ticket"
Gov. Odell had this to say q dav he-
fore Sheldon's name was taken on tbe
slate:
III fought against George r. Sheldon
because hIs business connections In.
perIIed the whole ticket"

Ate Heart of Assassin.

A correspondent of the North China
Daily News describes what followed
the execution of an assassin: when
the heart of Hsu Hsi-lin was cut out
of his body and had been laid before
the remains of his victim as a sacri-
flee to the late governors names,
members of his bodyguard, to signify
their zeal ard hatred of the assassin,
seized Hsu's still warm heart and
cutting it up intn--mince meat boiled
it and served the grewsome dish
among themselves to be eaten. This
seems a poor way of revenging the
death of one patron, especially since
1T was due to the very ineptitude and
subsequent panic of this very brave
bodysuard that enabled Hsu Hsi-lin
to fire so many shots, without any
kind of hindrance, at the late En-
Mfn.''

DO THE PEOPLE RULE?
All the Recent Publications Convince
the Voters that Trusts Control
Legislation.

af.e-z,,-yrs vxvrrcmenr over the
puDno~.ion of the Standard Oil letters,
showing that trusts control legisla.
voters sift the wheat from the chaff OF
sensational publications, what will be
the logical conclusion In the minds
Of the voters? 1t will be:
THAT the people do not rule be-
cause the national lawmakers legls-
late to suit the trusts. More trusts
exist today than ever, the people suf-
fer more from them, and they prac-
tice more extortion.
2.-That the party in power Is the
party through which the trusts rule.
The Republican party is now in power.
II writes all the national laws. In a
speech in the last Congress, MIR. Sher-
man candidate fer Vice-President),
declared that the Republican party
assumed all responsibility for every
thing that has been done and for what
has not been done. That is right.
The trusts write the tariff laws passed
by Republican votes. If the magnates
are not punished crimnaIIy, it is be-
cause Republican officials fail in their
duties. For eleven years the Demo-
Gratis have had no power to frame
Federal laws or to execute Federal
statute. II everything in America is all
right as to Federal laws for eleven
years, the Republican party deserves
the credit. If "eviIs have crept in"
the Republicans are responsible. The
only hope for change lies in the cleo
ton of Bryan.
Suppose some Individual Democrat
has been employed by trust. He
could net get law passed, he could
not get "an immunity BATH" he could
do nothing effectively for the trusts
unless a majority of the Republican
congressmen favored the trust meas
ures. The Republican orators can not
escape responsibility by trying to pick
out some Democrat who has been en-
ployed by trust. Recent disclosures
prove that the people do not rule, but
that the trusts owe their existence and
fairness to Republican laws and Repub-
iican officials.

The New York World has cartoons
showing a Standard Oil can taking

the Capitol at Washington. Good! 1t
is another evidence that the people do
not rule at Washington, but that tie

Republican party. AS to legislation,
Mr.. Sherman, candidate for vice-presi-
dent, said The Republican party is
willing and ready to accept full re-
spoEsibility" Exactly. And the Stand
ard OH and other trusts rule through
that party The only way to prevent
such rule f. to elect Bryan.

PROTECTING DEPOSITS IN BANKS.
An Ohio Example OF Taft's Position
and oklahoma's Proof Of Hryan's
Position.

One Of the planks of the Denver
platform favors guaranteed bank de-
posits. Mr.. Bryan addressed the Ohio
legislature in February favoring guar
anteed deposits. Former Governor
Herrick subsequently addressed the
legislature in reply to Mr.. Bryan. OPP
posing any such protection for banks
and bank depositors.
Mr.. Taft, in his speech Of accep-
lance, denounced the plank of the
Denver platform, which declares for
a national law for banks similar to
the Oklahoma law for state banks,
thereby coinciding in the views of Mr..
Herrick and opposing the views of Mr.
Bryan.
Below are two dispatches showing
what Mr. Bryan stands for and what
Mr.. Taft stands for:
THE OHIO WAY.
Cleveland, o., Aug. 1.-THE cred
itors' committee, charged with an in
vestigation of the affairs of the de-
funct Farmers and Merchants bank,
the cashier of which, Henry w. Ca
zell. is under arrest charged with en-
bezzlement, tonight reported that the
depositors will be forced to shoulder
a loss of s415,0OO.
The report, made in a meeting of
$500 depositors, charged the deficit to
Gazell, alleging his speculations
proved disastrous to the institution.

The appearance of Senator w. Muir
ray Crane, of Massachusetts, upon
the Republican scene as chief "ad-
visor" of Chairman Hitchcock in the
management of Mr.. Taft's campaign,
is regarded as further unmistakable
evidence of the alliance of the Re
publican party with the trust interests
for the election of Taft. Senator
Crane may not be very well known by
the farmers and laboring men of the
west. but he has very extensive and
intimate acquaintance in Wall street
and with the trust protected interests
of the east. He belongs to that little
coterie of men who rule the United
States senate. He is the principal ad-
visor of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich. OF
Rhode Island, who stands at the head
of the Standard Oil list of senators.
Senator Crane is second in command
The failure of Chairman Hitch
cocks campaign for Taft made 1t
necessary for the Republicans to form
a closer relationship with the trusts
in order to procure funds with which
to carry on their propaganda Nc
man is better suited to do the cement
ing than is Senator Crane. He Is a
Republican of high standing and is a
trust magnate. His interests lie with
those who are monopolists and With
the trusts.
