One of the pleas most mistakenly
urged In behalf Of Mr.. Bryan IL tina,
he has grown and bs'oadened since biz
last campaign and 10 therefore .nort
worthy Of public confidence. There h
something in this plea. That there
was room for Improvement In Mr.
Bryan's fnreiIectnal structure IL SUN
ciently indicated by TIE following re.
markabie extract from his speech IN
Salem. ILL.,. Oct. g. 400:
"Ths Rspxhiieans GILL buy every ves,
that can b sought. They will eosre,
every vote thsf oaa - eesrcsd. The,
will intimidats svsry tailoring man whs
can b inundated. They will bslb.
every election judge who can b. bribed
They will corrupt every court that car
b corrupted"
That utterance. be 1t remembered
came from the presidential candidate
Of great political party. 1t was
launched against another great party
then engaged in the honorable cam.
paign to re-elect President william
Mckinley, whose victory four years
before had sounded the knell OF Bry-
lnlsm and rescued the government
from impending Reputation and dis.
honor.
Never before had the people heard
rom a presidential candidate an ut.
'erance SO base aud vulgar rs that of
which Mr.. Bryan was guilty In his
Salem speech. And. inasmuch as the
Democratic party. In spite Of all its
shortcomings. has always insisted upon
4 certain amount Of dignity and self
respect on the part Of it's candidates
for the presidency. 1t Is reasona bly,
certain that there will be no repetition
Of the offense by its representative In
the present campaign.
Truly. Mr.. Bryan has grown. but
how-in real wisdom or merely in
self restraint and craftinessl He ND
peals for harmony. yet he has never
recanted the doctrines which plunged
his party into confusion and twice de-
fcated 1t. He begs for popular con.
ddence. yet at heart he. Is still pledged
to the reckless policies which In two
campaigns made him an
object Of national suspicion. He has
grown In discretion. but there Is no
evidence to show that beneath the sur
face he Is really other than Bryan. the
cheap politician. who maliciously In.
suited the supporters OF William Nc
kinley In his vulgar speech at Salem
eight years ago.

President Roosevelt hits the nail on
the head when he,points out that Bry-
ans pretended REMEDIES for corpora
ton evils are ,thimerical. Courtesy
probably prevented the president from
adding that the alleged remedies are
20 chimerical. impracticable and ut
terly at variance mot only with the
constitution Of the United States, but
with the rights OF property every
where throughout civilization. as to
suggest insincerity zen the part Of the
person submitting such fiimsy absurd
titles.
We have before pointed out that
'Bryan's plan Of presenting any cor

cent ,of the total business in any par

more polished phrase--ehimerical."

EVEN in corporation-ridden Colorado
n they are pursuing the food trusts,
- and the attorney general of the state
has been getting after the Denver Gro
GERS association on the ground that 1t
has Illegally combined in restraint of
trade and for the purpose of controlling
prices.
The other day the attorney general
threw a bomb into the camp of the COM
bine, proving from an illustrated circular
In the interest of the grocery trust that
the combination literally exists TO stirle
competition and to force Colorado people
to pay fixed prices for the actual neces-
stiles of life. THE GROCBRS At
TEMPTED TO AVOID LIABILITY BY
CLAIMING THAT THE PRICE COM
MITTEB IS AN ORGANIZATION OF A
MERELY SOCIAL NATURE AND De
SIGNED TO Make ITS MEMBERS
BETTER ACQUAINTED.
The attorney general declared in his ar
gument on opening the case against the
food trust that "a combine exists among
the retail grocers of Colorado, made up Of
sixty-reven local bodies, through which
prices are maintained, and that If the
price is not maintained the retail dealer
cannot purchase any more articles
through the wholesale dealer or the job
Der. as the latter refuses to sell unless
prices are maintained"
Attorney General Dickinson, who is
proceeding against the food trust, cited
from the Merchants Index, the official
organ of the Denver Association of Gro
GERS, the following statement as indica-
tive of the policy of the food combine:
push THE GOODS PROTECTED BY

1t is alleged that the grocers in the

cinch the public by handling those lines
of goods upon which they are enabled to
make excessive profits. while they freeze

plies on which they see profits are les

So far, the war of the attorney general
has only been carried into the camp of
the food trust which, it is shown, covers
$50 articles of food. 1t is proposed by the
authorities In Colorado to proceed not
only against the food trust, but against

ONE STEP FURTHER

TN his speech in Boston Monday
night Secretary Taft ably defended
= Roosevelt from the attacks of the
coterie OF critics who would have the
American people believe that the presi-
dent was personally responsible for the
recent financial panic. When he de-
clared that 1.-The revelations of irregu-
llarity, breaches of trust, stock jobbing.
overissues of stock, violations of laws
and lack of rigid state or national SUI
pervision in the management of some of
our largest insurance companies, rail-
road companies, traction companies and
financial corporations shocked investors
and made them withhold what little
loanable capital remained available"
he simply restated what every intelli-
gent student of affairs understands to
that a foundation of the successful
operations of this clique of gamblers
and bunco men was their fragrant vio-
lation Of the Sherman antitrust law,
so-called. and the interstate commerce.
law. and that all that President Roose-
welt did was to resort to such action
as would tend to make these con-
spirators, regardless of their power and
their wealth, obey the laws ordained by
the people of the United States.
at is said" continued Secretary
Taft, 1.-The policy of the administration
has been directed for the last four
years against organized capital and
that it has thereby frightened in
vestors. I deny it. The course of the ad-
ministration has been directed against
such organized capital as was violating
the statutes of the United States, and
no others. It had every consideration
and desire to assist organized capital
which was engaged in legitimate bust
ness"
While it may be stated as a general
proposition that the president does not
need, and for a long time he has not
needed, such defense as that offered by
Secretary Taft in his Boston address,
nevertheless it is well that the presi-
dents attitude be emphasized, from
time to time, now that the trusts have
inaugurated an energetic campaign to
the end that the policy of the executive
toward organized capital shall be mis-
represented and discredited, if that were
possible. Fortunately the average
American voter has learned to under
stand President Roosevelt and his mo-
tives, which cannot be impeached
through the utterances of such dema-
gogues as Foraker and Fairbanks, such
representatives of organized capital as
the Rockefellers. the Archbolds and the
Rogerses, and that portion Of the press
OF America which, commonly desig-
mated as the purchased" press, is now
easily identified.
One might wish that Mr.. Taft had
gone a trifle more deeply into the basis
of the recent panic. He carried his
argument back to the trusts, but he
did not point out, as he might have
done, that one of the foundation stones
underlying the trusts is the unnecessary
high protective tariff whose operation
has made these great organizations of
capital immensely more profitable than
they would have become without the
protection" they have received from
this source.
