WE are quite at loss to under
stand what relation Mr.. Taft's re-
ligious views have to do with his
fitness or unfitness for public
office If there is no better argu-
ment to use against him than the
doubt as to whether he is vic
tim of superstition, we submit
that there is little reason for vot-
ing against him. Our own opin
ion is that his position on imperi-
alism. protection, money matters
and his relations to organized
labor are potent factors upon
which the people may we'll differ
as to his fitness for the exalted
position of President His re-
ligion, or lack OF it, is a matter
between him and the Creator and
is no body's business but his own.

to attend to the Lords business.

SHOULD the system of guaran
teed deposits, advocated by
Bryan and now adopted by Okla
homa, he put in operation here,
every cent of savings money
among the people would come
out of hiding and be put into cir
culation. No one would take the
chance of robbery. FIRE and other
mishaps if he knew his money
could be drawn from the bank
when needed. There would be
no fear of bank suspensions nor
clearing house certificates. but a
certainty that in any event the
money would be forthcoming
whenever demanded. Bankers
would have no object in starting
a panic as they did last fall.
The newspaper., 1908-07-31

One of the serious handicaps OF
Mr.. TAFT among admirers of Pres
ident Roosevelt is the fact that
he is offered to them as lust as
good" Everybody looks ask
ance when a substitute Just as
good" is offered for the original
article. Mr.. Bryan is not pre-
sented as a lust as good" but as
the original, the imitation to some
extent of whose policies consti-
tutes the only claim OF his imi-
tators to public approval.
The newspaper., 1908-07-31

THOSE papers that imagine the
abuse of Mr.. Bryan to be good
ethics in the way of opposing his
election are doomed to discover
their error a little later. No man
in public life has so we'll earned
the honors that have been heaped
upon him. Alleging that he is
shallow, visionary, etc, is to in
dict the majority OF the American
people who without question have
endorsed his position on practic
ally every question he has dis
cussed.

QUITE a number of towns in

could profit by their example.
Streets and alleys kept neat and
clean, weeds exterminated and
general neatness of appearance
always elicit favorable notice

SINCE Mr.. Bryan shook hands
with Murphy. the Tammany boss,
and Norman K. Mack has been
chosen to conduct the campaign,
the Denver Republican is solici-
tous lest Bryan's political moral
ity be contaminated. His career
during the twelve years he has
been in the spot light is pretty
good guaranty that nothing can
corrupt him. He is calling. not
the righteous, but sinners to re-
pentance.

THE fact that republican paper.

THE fact that republican papers
use their space to criticisc what
Mr.. Bryan is alleg d to have done
or not to have done instead of
discussing the issues of the cam
paign suggests the idea that they
tear the effect of fair discussion
of the issues. That sort of sub
terfuge will not profit. The peo-
pie who are to vote will do a
little thinking on their own ac.
count.

THAT OIL DECISION.

or their decisions is set down as
nothing less than lese majestic by
republicans. the decision handed
down by Judge Crosscup of the
U S. court of appeals reversing
the case in which the Standard
Oil company was found guilty of
accepting rebates and was fined
$29. 900. 600 by Judge Lands is so
far from a fair Interpretation of
the law that it merits comment.
1t i we'll to remember that Judge
Crosscup has always shown a
genius for interpreting law in
favor of corporations wherever it
could be done. In the present
case he goes SO far that the fall
lacy is apparent even to the non
legal mind. The evidence in the
case showed overwhelmingly that
an illegal agreement existed be-
tween the railroads and the oil
company providing for these re
bates and it was shown that in
numerous cases the agreement
was consummated and the rebates
received by the oil company.
Judge Crosscup held that al
though such an agreement was
shown to. exist that no offensc
could be established without
proof of the consummation in
each instance. AS anybody knows
that is practically impossible.
Under such a rule no conviction
could be had except in rare cases
of conspiracy of any kind. The
Judge held that the oil company
could not be presumed to know
what rates were the legal ones.
The company shipped thousands
of cars and paid rate on them
1t is evident that they would be
careful not to pay more than the
legal rate. How could they know
.hat without knowing what the
legal rate WASP Such twisting of
the law as that does not appeal
to the ordinary mind as legiti-
mate. If they were willing to
pay the legal rate what was the
purpose of an agreed rateI Ii
will hardly be presumed that the
oil company desired to pay more
than the legal rate. hence no
agreement was necessary unless
they were to pay less than the
legal rate. So much for that.
But when the judge came to dis
cuss that fine he became eloquent.
The Indiana Standard Oil com
pany, the one sued. is the pro-
perty of the Standard OIL com
pany of New Jersey. The Indi-
ana company has a capital stock
of million. Judge Crosscup
considered it preposterous that it
should be fined enough to wipe
out its entire capital. The festive
hobo will rejoice to learn that
when he is up for vsgrancy it is
bad form to fine him more than
his capital. That in itself is its
own answer. The fact is that the
Indiana company is but part OF
