WHY BUSINESS MEN SHOULD
VOTE AGAINST BRYAN.

VOTE AGAINST BRYAN.
Does Mr.. Bryan imagine that the
country has forgotten all his declara-
tions in favor of government owner
shin? Here is what he said at the
meeting in Madison Square Garden,
in New York, on August 80, 1906, just
after he returned from his tour around
the world: 81 do not know whether
a ma jority of the members of the par
ty to which l belong believe in t e
government ownership Of railways,
but my theory is that no man can call
mass meeting to decide what he
himself shall think. | have reached
the conclusion that there will be- no
preceptible relief on the railroad cues
ton from discrimination between in
divlduals and between places, and
from extortionate rates, until the
railroads are the property of the gov
eminent in the interest of the
people"
This was the solemn declaration of
Mr.. Bryan two years ago, which he
urged with great eluquence and elabo-
rateness during the congressional can
vass of that year.
In response to attacks made upon
him in 1906 by leading Democrats for
this Suclalistic and reactionary doc
trine, he qualified it thus: 81 favor
the federal ownership of the trunk
lnies only, and the state ownership of
all the rest of the roads,.
AS this hedging added the chaos of
a conflict of authority to the general
decentralization and destructiveness of
the government ownership folly, his
party leaders naturally disliked it even
more than the doctrine of straightout
federal control for all the roads, which
he originally proclaimed Many of the
leaders renewed their attacks upon
him. Nevertheless. in one shape or
another, he chung to the government
ownership idea In letter to the
Wall Street Journal in April, 1907,
he wrote: "For fourteen years after
my entrance into national politics l

A POLITICAL EMETIC.

If it is pitiful to see Mr.. Bryan re-
sort to the paltry device of proclaim
ing himself the heir of the Roosevelt
policies, it is downright disgusting to
see Mr.. Awkward place himself in a
similar relationship to Senator La
Toilette ana the Wisconsin Idea
John Awkward, of all men!
Following the precedent of his fell
partisan, the repudiated governor
of Oklahoma, we presume the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Wis
consin will come out and declare ths t
it was another Awkward who in his
time denounced La Toilette as sus-
picious and dangerous individual and
branded his policies as vicious and I'M
Democratic
Another Awkward who opposed the
2-cent passenger rate-bill and who
held that the Interests of the railroads
were greater than the interests of the
people of Wisconsin,
Another Aylward who has been the
favorite hireling of corporations, even
to defeat the will of the people in
their own legislature.
But it is the identical John Awkward
just the same, the same whom an en-
lightened electorate reDudiated two
years ago by 80, 900 plurality.
What shameless nerve must that
man possess who in 1904 could proclaim
that "a primary election law is a de-
NAL of faith in represen .ative govern
ment" and today Iauds thai principle
and pleads for its wider application
What consummate hypocrisy must
be his who at that time could say that
he "was Suspicious of everything that
emanated from the statehouse at Mad
ison and today eu'ogizes the man he
then heaped with opprobrium and
pleads for votes in his name.
1t is sight that must make devils
laugh. angels weep and turn the stom-
achs of decent men.
John Awkward, the avowed enemy
of La Toilette, the conservator of the
Wisconsin idea"!

ONE AS WRONG AS THE OTHER

ONE AS WRONG AS THE OTHER
Since the primary election, we
have heard and seen considerable in
Jackass papers. about the enornity of
buying a senatorial nomination. Who
are responsible fer the conditions
which made surh a thing possible :?
The demagoaues who advocated the
abortion uf primary election law and
the men who listened to their palaver
and voted for the law. Then, is there
any difference morally between the man
who pays 81, 900 or $50, 600 for a NOM
ination? 1t is only in the degree, the
principle involved being just the same
no more and no less. 1t means the
sale of Office from the lowest to the
highest, to the man who can disburse
the most money in his canvass. Even
to secure nominations to little county
offices, hundreds, yea, thousands of
dollars W ere spent and in sumo cases
men by the aid of votes from the op-
posing party, secured nominations to
which they were not entitled and they
are not the nominees of their party.
Now let US look at the other side Of
the question. If men pay more to
secure nomination and election thar
the emoluments Of the office for the
term will amount to, can We expect
such men to be honest? Not much.
They will reimburse themselves fol-
all expenditures and the taxpayers will
bear the burden. But to get back te
the original query: Is it any worse tt
speud 1000 than $50. coo to buy g
nomina ton? One is equally as
reprehensible as the other. Change
the law so that the purchase of 6
nomination will be impossible-and lei
the voters listen 10 reason instead OF
the spacious pleas of men who
take advantage of such laws to foist
themselves upon the public.

sufficient protection to labor and the

pauperized, is stanGpatter and every
man who has the best interests Of his

Those who have any doubts should
familiarize themselves with the history
of the democratic party and what 1t
has done for labor and production. as
recently as from 1892 to 1896 when the
farmers were bankrupted and laboring
men starving. The country has en-

man in the House of Representative
for he made direct fight or the
floor of the House against Cannon and
Cannonism and can do more for his

sibly do. Party should cut no figure

of S13, 900. 600, 900, is very far from
being "legitimate.
"My nomination for third time,
after two defeats, has been due to
the growth of the ideas for which |
stand, and the conviction among the
people that l am on their side,' he
says.
If this be true then, indeed, are a
large part of the people fooled 'arge
part of the time. But just as Bryan
was using these words the stock mar
ket dropped along the whole active
line. and New York had a political
scare from which it has not yet en-
tirely recovered, and from which il
will not recover until the news of his
defeat is flashed across the country.
"When | spoke in the East in
1885, he said III his Carnegie Hall
talk, 81 saw that there was an in
tense opposition to me. l saw that
many feared my election would
injure the country, and they commun-
icated that fear to those who worked
fer them. Today there is no such
fear -
This is part of Bryan's pretense
that he is not rs dangerous now as he
formerly was. 1t is his way of saying
that his successive defeats ave taught
him wisdom. In these words he in
sinuates that the country sees a new
and better Bryan than it saw in 1896
or in 1900. This pretense is directed
particularly at financlers, at employ
ers of labor, and at the heads of great
industries and enterprises of all sorts.

LONG METROPOLITAN
RUNS FOR OPERA
Breezy FarCiaI Production
Monday Night.

With a record of 200 nights in Chi
cago and $50 in New York the roll
licking new farcical opera The May
or of Toxic" will be the attraction at
Glover's Opera House Monday night
The book is by Richard Carrie and
the music by w F. Peters. The scene
of the new opera is laid in Japan and
deals with the adventures of a comic
opera organization stranded in the
Nippon metropolis.
At the time of their arrival the May
or of Toxic is unfortunately entang-
led in a plot with a Russian spy
Ivan Orfulitch, and General Satake, a
conspirator who has entered into an
agreement with Ivan to betray i'm
portant secrets of the Japanese gov
eminent. The Mayor has the unfor
tunate habit of talking in his sleep,
and Satake persuades him that dur
ing one of his somnambulistic con-
Hersations he has betrayed the Sc
crets which in realty Satake has told
to the Russian agent Furthermore
Satake informs the mayor that UNI
less the latter forces his daughter
Oloto to marry the conspirator he will
report the mayors supposed treason
to the Mikado, with hari-kari- as a
result.
Oloto, however, falls in love with
Julian Lincoln, the tenor in Kidder's
company, and with the ardor charac-
teristic of tenors in Japan, Julian
returns the maids affections Compli-
eating matters to further degree, the
mayor mistakes Kidder's Komiques
for royal party of princes and
princesses who are momentarily ex-
pected in Toxic. Kowtow gives the
royal welcome and hands the keys of
the City of Toxic to Kidder, who
opens the city up and takes the lid off
until his identity is discovered and he
is thrown into Jail A rich American,
father of the tenor, turns up at the
right time and with the assistance of
his check book everything comes out
pleasantly.

MAY NOT BE FLAG
OF "CHESAPEAKE"'
Which Was Purchased in
London Recently.

NEW YORK, Feb. -(SpeciaD-G
Wilfred Pearce, editor of the Syren,
has been making inquiries, at the re-
quest of the New Jersey Historical
Society, into the American flag re
Gently purchased in London for an
American, and as a result Mr.. Pearce
is oppressed with doubt that it is the
flag of Capt. James Lawrence's ship
Chesapeake. He thinks it is possibly
that of the United States ship Presi-
dent, which also took part in the
War of 1872. Mr.. Pearce says that
whatever flag it was that was sold in
London he doesn't believe that is be-
longed to the Chesapeake, because
that lies in the coffin of Capt Law
renee in Trinity Churchyard, this
city
The late Gov. Joel Parker of New
Jersey, a kinsman Of Capt. Lawrence,
heard about thirty years ago, accord
ing to Mr. Pearce, that the colors of
the Chesapeake were for sale in Lon
don. He wrote to the American Min
sitter at the Court of St. James's, ask
ing that inquiries be made in regard
to the flag. Gov. Parker received
work that there was no evidence that
the flag had ever been borne by an
American naval vessel.
The bodies of Lawrence and
Ludlow were buried in Trinity
Churchyard, New York. Lawrence's
coffin was opened in this city and
it was found that the body had been
wrapped, first in the flag that Law
renee had flown from the mizzenmast,
with the inscription, Free Trade and
Sailors Rights which did not mean
the kind of free trade we talk of to-
day, but meant the rights of American
ships to go upon the seas without be-
ing overhauled by British men-of-war
Over this flag was the ensign flown
at the main truck, whole over the cot
fin, as a pail, was the Star-Spangled
Banner, which last was, in the final
burial, put in the coffin.
