Republican BIasphemvl

To what desperate extreme 10 the
Republican party put that it seeks to
shift responsibility for the trusts from
its own shoulders and place the blame
for these predatory combinations of
wealth upon the Almighty. In 4 speech
at Reno, Nevada, a few days ago, Sen
ator J. P. Dolliver Of Iowa, declared
that God made the trusts, not man,
and God is responsible for their regu-
lation."
It is little wonder that since 287
trusts, representing billions of dollars,
have been organized and are flourish
ing without let or hindrance, under II
years of Republican administration,
that the Republican party should seek
to shirk the responsibility for their
existence and to charge the whole
thing up to God. What blaspnemy for
a man like Senator Dolliver to declare
trust are governed not by any stat
ute, but by the laws God made for
the protection of his people," And this
comes, too, from man high In the
councils of the Republican party, .
near candidate for the vice-presidency,
and the son of a Christian clergyman!
Will the people Of this country In.
dorse such sacrilege by giving the
Republican party power for four years
more, or will they repudiate this base

WORKINCMEN NOT ALARMED
Tactics Of tho eharples Separator Com
Pany Fail-A Republican Bluff
Called by President Marsh.

The efforts made by certain EN-.
ployars to intfmidate their employees
to vote for Mr.. Taft are not succeed
Ing In the way the Republicans de-
sire. Some time ago the Sharples
Separator Company, an eastern con-
Germ, in a desperate attempt to force
its workmen to vote the Republican
ticket, threatened them with the loss
OF employment by closing down its
shops in the event of Mr.. Bryan's cleo
ton. The threat was merely a bluff
on the part of the company to aid the
trust ticket and has been called by
Mr.. w. w. Marsh, president of the
Iowa Dairy Separator Company, of
Waterloo, Iowa. Mr. Marsh believes
that instead of business depression
following the election of Mr.. Bryan,
there will be business prosperity.
Should the Sharples Company close
its shops following Mr.. Bryan's cleo
ton, and thus throw it's employees out
of work, he promises to give every
man who loses his job with tho
Sharples Company employment at his
own plant. In this connection he has
addressed the following letter to
Chairman Mack of the Democratic M
tional committees:
Waterloo, Iowa, Oct. II, 1908.
Norman E. Mack, Chairman,
Democratic National Committee,
Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir:
have seen the threat Of the
Sharples Separator Company to close
down their shops in tho event of Mr..
Bryan's election. We, as the largest
manufacturers Of cream separators In
the United States, will agree, in tho
event of the election of Mr.. Bryan and
the threat of the Sharples Company
being put into effect, to take the men
into our employ. In view Of the fact
that the finished product of the steel
trust Is the raw material Of q separar
tor factory, and under the present
tariff the steel trust is permitted to
charge us so per cent more, and does
charge US so per cent. moro than wo
could purchase In the worlds market,
the Sharples Company must be talk
ing as shareholders In the United
States Steel corporation rather than %
separator manufacturers.

The best service that can be rem.

REPORTS SHOW RISING TIDE
Great States Of Ohio, Indiana and
New Ya-&< Safely in the Demo-
cratic Column.

Norman E. Mack, chairman Of the
Democratic national committee, is
confident of the election of Mr.. Bryan
as president. In q statement summing
up the situation he said:
Three weeks ago it was apparent
that the tide had turned toward De-
mocracy, and that every outward evil
dence pointed to a Democratic victory
In November. The situation is far bet
ter now than then, and l am confident
IN the belief that Mr.. Bryan will be
elected president. In fact, the cam
paisn, from the Democratic viewpoint,
has steadily improved with each sue
coeding week. AS Mr.. Bryan has pre-
scented the issues in various sections
Of the country, the people have be-
come more and more convinced that
his election is for the permanent pros
perity and best interests of the ma
ton.
"Of the many reports l have re-
ce1ved from the various states there
has not been one discouraging to our
cause. On the other hand, all of our
information has indicated that there
will be a remarkable decrease in the
Republican vote. and this statement
applies alike to the banner Republi-
can state of Pennsylvania as we'll as
to states like New York, Ohio and
Indiana. Mr. Bryan will not only re-
ceive the majority of the electoral
vote. but one of the greatest popular
votes ever given candidate.

The patrons of School No. 4, that has been
closed for the past seven quarters, have become
dissatisfied and efforts are being made to have
the school reopened. Last fall the School Com
missioners undertook to sell the building and
grounds and accepted $147 and gave deed to
It. AS there is no provision in the State law
for such sale the deed is of no account and
the patrons and taxpayers are unwilling to be
deprived of convenient school facilities and

Supervisor Kearney to go ahead. Last fall Mr..

sioners' Board, visited this road, with MI. Mann.
and assured the people present that be would
commence the work, Mr.. Mann stating that if
he was re elected he would endeavor to finish it
before winter. Mr.. Yellott commenced to have
stone hauled and this has been continued at
intervals by Mr.. Mann, but no actual work on
the road has been done, so that we are glad to
hear from Mr.. Mann in person that he has
authorized the work to be done and by COM
