AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION.

In his admirable speech Of accept
ance Mr.. Bryan observes that $50 long
as the republican party remains in
power it is powerless to regenerate it
self. 1t cannot attack wrong doing in
high places without disgracing many
of its prominent members, and it,
therefore, uses opiates instead of the
surgeons knife" No more accurate
description of a condition was ever
given.
A criticism of trusts is an arraign-
ment of the present treasurer of the
republican national committee who
was compelled, a few years ago, to
make restitution to the victims of the
shipbuilding trust swindle. in order to
save himself from criminal prosecution
and certain conviction An attack upon
the methods of the Standard Oil COM
pany puts an aspersion on the repub-
lican leader of the United States SEN
ate, and so on through the list.
The republican platform omits ref
erence to the most vital issues of the
campaign, for the same reason. II
makes no promise of currency legis-
lation for the reason that Senator Aid
rich is opposed to any reforms in that
direction. 1t makes no pledge to reduce
the tariff schedules because Senator
Scott and others are interested in coal
and iron industries 1t fails to promise
legislation for publicity of campaign
contributions, the most prolific source
of official corruption, for the reason
that the "malefactors of great wealth
might refuse to contribute out of trust
funds to debauch elections if the truth
We're known. And as Mr.. Bryan adds
in the absence of such pledges, they
"construe each republican victory as
an endorsement of their conduct and
threaten the party with defeat if they
are interfered with"
Obviously the only remedy for the
existing evils lies in the defeat of the
republican party. Judge Taft, the re-
publican candidate himself acknowl-
edges the existence of the evils. In his
speech of acceptance he declares that
these evils have crept in within the
last ten years" He might have added
that during all that time the republican
party was in complete control of every
department Of the government and il
not only failed to stop the evils but
didn't even try to achieve that result
During the last congress every posi-
BILE effort was made by the minority
to enact the needed reform legislation
The president urged it constantly and
such leaders in congress as Senator
LaFollette demanded it. But the re-

BY THE WAY.

Too many "don'ts" make nervous
mothers and nervous children.
Duplicate presents and good advice
are passed on from bride to bride.
Healthy youngsters really should not
be expected to have clean hands ex-
cept at meal time.
Never mind about Yesterday and it's
errors and omissions; think of To-day
and Tomorrow
o fair young bride, take a pattern
after the cuckoo clock, that always
cooks before it "coos!"
Look behind the little trellises of
woodbine, honeysuckle and climbing
rose for the happiest homes.
Your world is like your mirror-each
day that you show it a pleasant face
it will show pleasant face to you.
Even little children enjoy their play
much more if they have small duties
to perform before play time begins.
You may be sure that it is kindly,
hospitable dwelling where happy,
well-fed dog with gaily wagging tail
gives greeting at the door.
Tact prevents the little unpleasant
ness of our wOrkaday world as tea
leaves scattered on the floor before
sweeping keep the dust from rising.
Don't try to write your name in the
dust on your neighbor's piano. There
is neither pride nor proof in the clean
illness that is next to goodness.
Minds that are filled scientifically,
like we'll packed trunks, with every
thing in order. hold much more than
those into which all manner of things
are thrown man fashion, hikkledy-
piggledy.
How many times we have heard the
katydids bearing witness against Katy,
and yet we don't believe them! Why
not learn to treat the tales of other
scandalmongers with like incredulity?
Accept favors thankfully gifts grac-
iously, hospitality with the frank en-
joyment that is the highest tribute to
the hostess, and though you have
naught else to give in return, true
friends will ask no more.

FAVORITISM AT PANAMA.

Visitors returning from Panama say
that there is a good deal of dissatiS-
faction and jealousy among the higher
officials of the canal zone over the ap-
parent favoritism in the matter of sal
airy and emoluments, compared with
the duties performed, which, it is
claimed, is shown to one of their num-
Der merely because he is a friend Of
President Roosevelt"
Joseph Bucklin Bishop, the secretary
of the canal commission, is the one
corning whom complaint is made. and
it is declared that the attention Of
congress and particularly of the APP
preparations committees will be called
to the matter at the coming session.
Bishop draws an annual salary of
$4,000 and it is charged that there has
recently been built for him a hand
some residence at cost of 100000,
which he occupies rent free In addi-
ton, it is alleged, he has carriages and
four horses maintained at the cost Of
the government besides three messen-
gers who after doing their days work
at the Office are called upon to per-
form other duties at Bishops house.
In return for all this fairness" it is
declared that Bishop does very little
work. He is supposed to edit the
Canal Record" a weekly publication
devoted to the printing of reports on
the progress Of the canal work and in
cidents of life in the Zone" But 1t is
stated that a clerk performs practically
all the duties Of getting out this week
ly, and that Bishop is scarcely ever at
his office.
The affair has almost approached
the dimensions of a scandal on the
Zone.

good old time democratic vote IN
the county this fall is what The States
man is looking for. There is every rea-
son why there should be one. A good
ticket and a demoralized foe points to
democratic success. The country is
ready for a change and, on the theory
that most anything would be better
than the present condition or thlngs'
many republicans are going to vote
with us in the fall.

TAFT ADMONISHES HIS FRIENDS.

Manifestly Candidate Taft doesn't
share the sublime confidence of his less
thoughtful supporters. In an address
to the Ohio republican committee, re-
Gently. he admonishes them in this
language: I'VE must know, those of
us who face the facts, that we are
meeting a large, strong party, headed
by an able, forceful and experienced
candidate, and we should be exceeding
ly imprudent if we belittle the forces
behind him and the resources OF an
able leader" In other words he would
have them understand that vigilance
as well as energy will be required to
secure victory this year. The result of
the election is uncertain.
It would be better for the democratic
party. and, this year, for the entire
country, if all the republican leaders
were over confident fools. 1t would
make the workers less jealous and
the contributors to the corruption fund
less liberal The predatory trusts want
Taft elected. AS long as they imagine
that Taft is safe they will keep their
money in their pockets. Danger to their
interests is the only thing that arouses
them.
The fact is that the present indica-
tons all point to the election of Mr..
Bryan. The people are becoming
alarmed at the predatory operation of
the trusts. The recent achievements of
Hartman in the direction of railroad
merging, the failure Of the interstate
commerce commission to even try to
enforce the law against unjustly in
creasing freight rates, and various
other incidents which confirm the sus-
picion that Roosevelt has become a re-
dictionary, have aroused the public
mind not only in the south and west
but in some portions of the east, and
unless the electorate is completely de-
bauched Bryan's election is inevitable.

Coming to kiss her lips (such grace
found),
Me seem'd I smelt a garden of sweet
fow'rs,
That dainty odors from them threw
around,
For damsels fit to deck their lovers
bOw'rs.
Her lips did smell like unto gilliflowers,
Her ruddy checks like unto roses red,
Her snowy brows like budded bella
moures,
Her lovely eyes like pinks but newly
spread,
Her goodly bosom like a strawberry
bed,
He. neck like a bunch of cullambines,
Her breast like lilies ere their leaves
be shed,
Her nipples like young blossom'd jessa-
mines;
Such fragrant flow'rs do give mos;
OdOrOuS smell,
But her sweet Odor did them all excel

Secondary an American founda-

these Islands, and are recognized SO
generally the world over, and espe-
cially In our own country, that the
tenacity with which some people in
this city cling to the campaign of
Stops for the European immigrant is
fast approaching the ridiculous.
The one and two-acre homestead
proposition enables the immigrant to
obtain start. He has a headquar-
tiers from which he may prove himself
and watch for opportunities. II he
proves a successful cane-planter, he
and the plantation will sooner or la
ter find 1t profitable to enter into
planting contracts and the plantation
men will find 1t to their profit to give
him larger homestead. The devel-
opment will be toward the American
plan-not away from it, as has been
the case for so many years.
As for the character of the Italians
and the Spaniards, we know that
what few Spanish immigrants have
come to the Islands are desirable peo-
pie.
We know that the Italian has had
u reputation for being a cut-throat,
and, while there are cut-throats
among the people of Italy, the Italian
immigrant is today one of the most
eagerly sought workers in the agri-
cultural sections of the mainland.
