Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took the

lT is always easy to distrust glittering
generalties. The New York Times says:
1.-The weakness of Mr.. Bryan's trust pol
icy lies in the vague and visionary char
acter of his plan and in the emptiness of
its promise. Persons far exceeding him
in wisdom and sharing his radical views
have for years sought by the formulation
of policies and in the drawing of bills to
devise curbs for monopoly and remedies
for trust evils. They have been only
moderately successful. lie produces

JUDGE PATTON has ruled that any
Armstrong county voter may legally cast
his ballot for a candidate of another party
by writing the name on his ticket. Ever
since the passage of the uniform primar-
les act, the participation of the voters Of
one party in the nomination ofcandidates
of another, has been one of the strongest
objections to its workings. Until the law
is so amended as to abate this abuse, it
will never be success. Much fault was
found with its operations throughout the
state last spring. and from some sections
there was loud call for its repeal. II is
still good deal ahead of old primary
methods, however, and il amended to
give complete party separation and meet
other objections that are raised there is no
reason why it tshould not prove entirely
satisfactory to the voters of the state.-Ti
tusville Herald. We heartily agree with
this contention. Unless the law can be
so amended as to exclude one party from
making the nomination of another the
real intent of the act will be lost, and it
might better be repealed

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in

imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed DEAFNESS is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.

FORMER State Treasurer William H..
Berry in recent political speech, said
that Bryan had come up from the people,
and not down from the bosses, as Taft
had done. Bryan could not have come
down from the bosses of the Democratic
party for the reason that he is boss of the
whole shootin' match himself. Otherwise
Johnson or Gray would haye been the
nominee and the Democrats would have
had show to win. But a gentleman who
has no ammunition but lot of empty
shells of exploded ideas with which TO go
vote-hunting, is not likely to bag much
game.-Punxy Spirit.

WHAT have the last twelve years of
Republicanism done for the country?
asks Mr.. Bryan. Well, it seems that in
1896 he had to borrow the money to get to
Chicago and now he is so rich that he can

special wonder. There is no man in the
country with less reason TO complain than

BRYAN wants to "revise" the Tariff,
The day that Bryan is elected there will

will be placed in the hands of the party
that has made possible the great prosper
ity of the country in the past.

An Opportunity for Gas legislation

One Of the assertions frequently heard
in current discussion Of propositions for
Federal control of corporations is that
Congress has had ample opportunity to
exercise that control in the District of
Columbia and the Territories. and has
failed to enact adequate consistent. or
effective corporation legislation, Henry
Wade Rogers. dean Of the law college Of
Yale, in a recent lecture, gives voice to
this complaint in the subjoined passage:
That the States have not done their fan duty
is conceded Bat that the Federal government would
have done better Is mere assumption. and one am
not prepared to accept. Congress now has in the
Territories and the District Of Columbia Ell the
powers which the State governments possess. vet the
legislation respecting the corporations which Con
gTess has Enacted has not been better than the leg
islauon Of the States en- the same subject The laws
Of Congress have not secured publicity Of accounts
nor prevented overcaptalizatioa and stockwatering
and no system OF inspection has been established
over Federal corporations
Dean Rogers Is here arguing against
the assumption by Congress of those
larger powers over interstate corporations
which Mr.. Roosevelt and his advisers be-
lieve it to possess The power Of Con
gress over District Of Columbia corpora
tons is on a different footing. It is free
from the constitutional limitations affect
ing Congressional control over interstate
corporations. in the District Congress
may exercise original jurisdiction over
corporations, instead OF jurisdiction ac-
quired from the still somewhat uncer-
tainly defined power conferred by the in
terstate commerce clause OF the Constitu-
lion As Dean Rogers says. Congress has
al the authority over local corporations
possessed by the States or any other SOW
ereignty. These are elementary proposi-
tions, bat worth restaternent as showing
how little excuse there is for Congress
sional inaction and how well grounded is
the repFoach that Congress has failed to
live up to the full measure of its duties
respecting the corporations actually IN
der its eye
The legislation affecting the gas COM
panies affords a case in point In 1856

MR.. R0OSEVELT'S INFLUENCE.
Effect of His Message In BoisteriHE
Up Frisco Reformers.

ETun T-s tilcdE1 Iust-
In the Golden Gate the SpreckeIs graft
prosecution has had 20 change utterly
its plan of operation since the appellate
court declared that municipal blackmail
was not a crime. Instead Of holding Abe
Ruef safe under his immunity contract.
District Attorney Langdon is now forcing
the ex-boss to trial. All the "higher-ups'
who one month ago were vehemently de-
handing that Ruef face a jury are now
declaring that he should not be prose
cuted. And this sudden shift Of tactical
positions has been seized upon most clev-
erly by Mr. Patrick Calhoun and the
newspapers through which he speaks to
confuse the minds OF the people upon the
big issues at stake.
Into the midst of the turmoil came the
Presidents message. From one end of
the State 20 the other the enlightened
press instantly seized upon 1t as a means
Of once more clarifying the public mind
as to the real meaning of the San Fran
cisco struggle. Whole sections of the
message fitted the focal crisis as per
fectly as If they had been written espe-
cialIy for il. It was easy 20 answer the
immaferial geueralties OF the Calhoun
proclamati0ns with Mr. R0osevelts di-
rect. forceful statements Of the fight for
fair play and honesty which the Ameri
can people have been making against
the "higher-ups" in the industrial life of
the country.
