BRYAN Knoxa It,a Bosh.

President Roosevelt hits the nall on
the head when he points out that Bry-
ans pretended remedies for corpora
ton evils are chimerical. Courtesy
probably prevented the president from
adding that the alleged remedies are
so chimerlcal. impracticable and ut
terly at variance not only with the
constitution Of the United States, but
with the rights of property every
where throughout civilization, as to
suggest ~insincerity on the part of the
person submitting such fimsy absurd
tiles.
We haze before pointed out that
Bryan's plan Of preventing any cor
poration from doing more than so per
cent Of the total business in any par
tlcular line would invalidate the pat
ent and trademark laws of the United
States and rob each and every in
ventor Of half the income to which he
Is entitled. 1t would involve an In
QUESTION into every large business
handling certain articles exclusively,
and 1t might readily be construed to
proprietary articles of every
sort. But why pursue the subjcctf
President Roosevelt has chosen the
more polished phrase-"chimerical."
The fact is, however, in plain talking
English, It's bosh, just bosh, and Bry-
m knows it's bosh.
President Roosevelt again hits the
nail on the head when he says that
mo law defying corporation has any
thing to fear from you (Bryan) save
what 1t will suffer In the general
paralysis Of business which any at
tempt on your part to reduce to prac-
tlce what you have advocated would
bring" True. and 1t is also true that
the n corporation conspicuous for Its
defiance of law and dealing In nm arti-
Gle In common use all over the world
seems quite ready to run the risk Of
Organism for the prospect which Bry-
anism holds out Of continuing to defy
the law. The corporation in question
regards Mr.. Tafts election very much
rs a burglar regarded his ~arraignment
court before a certain judge. The
was trembling and evidently
vev much worried. You need not

you have full justice done you"
'You, honor, that is Just what I'm
afraid Of" replied the burglar.

TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE
ATTENDED The SALE

The claims of The Republican as to
it's pulling power" were verified in
an emphatic manner this morning
when at least two hundred people
we're present at the &c sale held at
the Laramie Dry Goods Store from
nine minutes to 8 till 9 minutes
after 8. The sale was advertised ex-
olusively in The Republican and in
a single column advertisement. 1t Is
safe to say that not one-ffth of those
who read the advertisement were
present at the sale. Figured on that
basis, over one thousand persons read
the adjust as they do other ads
n this paper.
The attendance far exceeded Mana
ger RATES. expectation and he ex-
,eeded his time Limit in waiting on
customers by three minutes and says
he disposed of over sixty pieces OF

Mr.. Bryan's running matn on the
Democratic ticket, Mr.. Kern, In the
course Of a speech In Baltimore Sept
% declared himself as follows: Under
our system Of Jurisprudence every
man is presumed innocent until his
guilt il satisfactorily shown"
This Is an amazing statement. 1t
shows that Mr.. Kern has, either i'm
perfectly rehearsed the part assigned
to him by Mr.. Bryan or has deilber-
ately changed his lines to suit his own
fancy. In any event he is likely to
receive a sharp reprlmand from his
chief.
It is self evident that II Mr.. Kcrn's
proposition Is true of individuals It is
equally true Of corporations. Yet Mr..
Bryan's contention is that the mere
existence OF an interstate corporation
proves that it is a lawless organiza-
ton and should be smashed on gen
eral principles. The idea that such a
body has definite legal rights and that
those rights cannot be forfeited except
by due process Of law Is intolerable to
Mr.. Bryan. He would destroy the
corporations and, if need be, try them
afterward. He complains that the
trust magnates" have not been slap
ped into prison. The fact that they
have not been indicted, tried, convict
ed and sentenced in due form as pre-
scribed by law Is nothing to him. He
Is reaching out for a revolutionized
system, under which the president
shall be judge, jury and executioner,
and he won't be happy until he gets 1t.
Mr.. Bryan is an advocate Of lynch
law for interstate corporations. Fe
has convicted them already and would
subject them to summary execution If
he could have his way. His policies
would not only forfeit the property
rights Of shareholders in such corpora
lions, but would enormously increase
the cost of production and distribu-
ton in many of our greatest indus
tries. The highly organized methods
which now provide unsurpassed facili-
ties for exchange between producer
and consumer would be seriously In
jured II not actually destroyed by the
application Of the Bryan policies. Who
can doubt that the result would be an
increase In the cost of production, an
increase In the cost of transportation
and hence an increase in the cost to
the consumer Of commodities SO
fected?
Mr.. Kern's talk about furnishing cor
porations only after due process Of
law Is a grave i%ndiscretion, It is o
contradiction and almost a betrayal of
the whole Bryan programme. TIE
Nebraska agitator has already entered
n verdict Of guilty against the corpora
lions and passed the death sentence
upon them. His policy is, ..Due process
OF law be hanged, and the corporations
along with itr!' 49,
