SUPPLEMENT TO
The Citizen,
HONESDALE,
BRYAN AND LINCOLN.

While the grotesque something
styled imperialism" Is included in
tne rich and varied assortment of
freak Issues which Mr.. Bryan offers
TO his countrymen this year, he is not
urging 1t quite so vehemently as he
did In 1900. In the campaign of that
year he cheerfully assured his hear
ers that 1t was actually live issue, a
menace to free institutions, and could
De overcome only by electing him to
the Presidency. He declared, more
over, that If Jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln were living they would rec
ognize the acquisition of the Philip
pines by the. United States as a step
toward imperialism" and would op-
pose 1t with all their energy.
In his reckless zeal Mr.. Bryan tried
TO make it appear that Jefferson was
opposed to the very principle which
found expression in the Louisiana
Purchase. He perverted the utter
ances of Jackson in a tricky attempt
to show that "Old Hickory" resisted
the policy that led to the acquisition
of Florida. And finally he deliber-
ately misinterpreted the State papers
of Lincoln in an endeavor to show
that the Emancipation upheld the doc
trine that the American Government
has no right to suppress a revolt
against its own authority, and if he
were President at that time-1900-
he would either withdraw the United
states troops from the Philippines or
order them to surrender to Aguinal-
do, the leader Of the Filipino insur-
rection.
Mr.. Bryan's attempt to misrepre-
sent the principles and purposes of
Lincoln was the prize blunder of the
ludicrous campaign of 1900. There
was then, and happily still is, a
living son of Lincoln who, in distin-
guished positions both public and
private. has disclosed many of the
rugged attributes of his martyred
sire. Mr.. Bryan's perversions of Lin
coins State papers were so fragrant
and so frequently repeated that Hon.
Robert T. Lincoln finally protested.
He publicly and with great indigna-
ton denounced "the uses. inventions
and distortions" to which his fathers
language had been subjected by the
Democratic nominee, and expressed
the confident belief that the people
would judge them as they deserved.
How completely that belief was justi-
fled at the polls is n matter of history.
To man of fine sensihilities a re-
buke like that from such source
would have been staggering blow
right between the eyes. It's effect
upon Mr.. Bryan was far less impress
sive. The only lesson he drew from
it was even if man knows history
he is fool to misquote it.

MIR. TAFT REGISTERS.

The Republican Presidential candi-
date shows he is a good citizen by
going home to register. The regis
tration place was in plumbing shop.
He was catechised thus by the reg
istry clerk:
How old are you?"
"Fifty-one."
"How many years have you lived in
the State of Ohio?"
"Fifty-one."
How many in the country"
"Fifty-one."
How many years in the precinct? ;"
Twelve"
Married."
"Yes."
The distinguished citizen then
signed the registry book "Wm. How
ard Taft"

WHEN fHE ACTORS CAME TO YALE

During the last reunion of Mr..
Taft's class in Yale some one recalled
the advent into New Haven of
Count" George Johannes, histrion,
and his leading lady, Virginia, so
tall and so fair" The Count was re-
puted to be an actor. He was strong
In Richard III. The class of rs took
him to its collective heart in the role,
witnessing the performance from a
block Of reserved seats in the front
OF the house. They liked the show,
particularly because the Counts tin

for beanshooters. The '78 men were
good shots. and the Count that night

WILLIAM n. TAFT'S FATHER.
Republican Standard Bearer
Which Descended to Son.

Persistence, industry, justice, clear
sishtedness, all the inestimable legd-
cies of birth handed down by Judge
Alphonso Taft to his son William,
were dominant and determining quail
tiles in the elder Taft's own career.
The place of his nativity was a
farm near Townshend, VT. The aus
tere, delving round of farm life Of
more than a generation ago was his
portion until the voice within him,
the innate hunger for knowledge, for
a progression, spoke and stirred him to
ambitions for an education, to a fut-
ure living to be earned with his head
rather than his hands. The Tafts
were folk in only moderate circum-
stances. So Alphonso taught school
in winter, worked in the fields in
summer and saved up his money un-
til he had enough to bridge the hia-
tus 'twixt income and outgo during a
course at Amherst. His plans were
detected for some reason, and he
chose Yale for his alma mater in
stead. He was graduated in 1888.
Another season of toll and saving
and he was financially equipped for
the course that turned him out a fin
ished lawyer in 1888. Cincinnati, a
raw, unshaped town, with a problem
atical future, needed men like AL
phonso Taft in the fourth decade of
the last century. He settled there,
and his law Office speedily became a
centre of legal and civic interests. in
which Judge Taft invariably took a
commanding part.
An intensely human man he was,
''of imposing presence, dignity and
refinement" as has been written of
him." unostentatious, kindly and
gentle, yet of a strong and forcible
character, which won for him re-
spect, confidence and love-" Almost
identically the same enumeration of
traits would serve for the son. He
zealously championed the cause of
education, especially the common
school system.
A pioneer in his sensing of what
means of land transportation meant
to Cincinnati, he strove to encourage
the building of railroads as a compile
ment to the advantages of Cincin-
natl. 1t was he who successfully ar
sued before the Supreme Court of
the United States the claim of the
city for the estate of Charles Nc
Micken, which was the start of the
endowment fund for the University
of Cincinnati. He was Judge of the
Superior Court of Ohio, as his son
was after him, and like him was also
Secretary of War and Attorney-Gen--
eral of the United States under Pres
ident Grant. Later he represented
his country as Minister to Austria
and Russia.

FROM SECRETARY ROOTS SAR.
ATOGA SPEECH.

Mr.. Bryan charges that the Repub-
lican party is responsible for the
abuses of corporate wealth. AS well
might he charge that the man who
plants cotton is responsible for the
boil weevil, or that the man who
plants fruit trees is responsible for
the San Jose scale.
Until the millennium has brought
the eradication of human selfishness
and greed, social abuses will come ac-
cording to the shifting conditions of
the times.

TAFT SPEECHES INSPIRE CoNFI.
DENCE.
(From the Brooklyn Eagle. J

The aggressive tone of Mr.. Taft's
speeches will soon put Mr.. Bryan
either upon a failing defensive or
will drive him to an outburst of rad
icalism that will still further challenge
the apprehension and alright the
judgment of the country. The
thoughtful jurist is playing the mis-
chief with the mercurial Bohemian,
and the man of Ohio who inspires
confidence is destroying the vogue of
the man of Nebraska, who inspires
only the reverse.

Wien the boys carried their appre-

endeavor to draw the fair Virginia

quired the arguments of the consta-
bles to dissuade them.

Mr.. Taft is first, last and all the

when he gets big enough.

1t is the public interest, not the In
terest of any single or separate ain
terest," that demands the election of
Taft and Sherman, as well as of a
Republican Congress.

Experience and association are the
flrst-class qualifications of Judge Taft
for popular promotion to the Presi-
dency.

every economic theory ever advocated
by Bryan.

respondence of Judge Taft can stand
