cinating about the idea Of free trade free
silver. and bank guaranty. the three
pet measures Of William Jennings
Bryan" said Chester l. Long. former
United States Senator from Kansas az
the Raleigh last night, and there are.
comparatively speaking, few OF the pres
ent generation to whom the idea OF a
protective tarin appeals as much as free
trade
'Why7 Because there Is something
aoou' the word free which IS always
OF attraction to the American people.
Inc reason why free trade would seem
70 DC popular with the people Is simply
because there has not been a thorough
IarlH campaign since 1885, when the prin-
c'ples OF the protective tariff were thor
oughly expounded to the people
1T Is about time this were dome aqafn
because the present generation has NOT
yet had the benefit Of wide-awalxe and
thorough protective tariff campaign"
Senator Long said he believed that tina
Dingley bill was good bill, but that the
present Payne tariff bill was an improve
ment on the Dingley measure, and that.
even though there were some dissatisfied
factions In the Republican party nov
after while they would all come around
and adopt the present tariff as the best
Republican measure.
Bryan continued the Kansan. has
been bad for long time. His free trade
views IN Congress In 1894 attracted uni
versal attention. but seeing that tbs tariff
was very delicate matter to fool with.
he switched over to free silver IN the
following campaign.
The question OF bank guaranty Is an
other OF those seductive measures which
appeals TO the public Oklahoma. Nebrsis-
ka. and Kansas passed bank guaranty
laws. There is something reassuringj IN
the Idea that when you put your mohey
IN bank Il is there 10 STAY. ( no
matter what happens. Real estate may
decline, your horse or COW may ale or
set killed, but the money on deposit in
your bank is safe because the state
guarantees Il: and yet one of thei most
important banking institutions oil Okla
homa failed not long ago for q consider
able sum, Notwithstanding the fact that
the bank guaranty law is in operation in
Oklahoma"
DO you think, Senator, Mr.. Roosevelt
vii be back again In the White House?"
I believe Mr.. Roosevelt Is satisfied
where he is, and as there is an occupant
In the White House at present, 1 don't
know what the future may bring; it's too
Tar of 10 make any representations at
this time
"Out West the great majority OF the
people are on the SIDE Of Or. Cook: they
have confidence In him and approve OF
the stand he has taken IN the contro-
versy which Peary has forced on him
DR.. Johann Ri-chner, OF Mainz. Ger
many. a well-known explorer who Is at
the New Willard, IN speaking Of Pan
Islamism said last night:
Just at present Pan-IsIamiarn con
sututes the absorbing topic OF the hour
in Europe. especially IN those countries
which. like France, Russia, Great Brit
ain, and Holland, have Moslem races
subject 10 their rule. Some are disposed
to ascribe the origin OF the movement TO
former Sultan Abdul Hamid Of Turkey
But he is entirely Innocent thereof would
gladly have stihed il at its birth. and
was merely swimming with the tide. en-
deavoring 20 remain abreast OF II IN
order not 70 be ingulfed by is rising
flood
The movement never recognized him
as leader. but Mohammedans throughout
the world. especially those who have
fallen into direct or indirect dependence
upon Christian governments, naturally
ton toward the one monarch OF their own
creed. who has remained independent.
and who is stin regarded as constituting
one Of the great powers"
The Turkish sultan continued the
German savant, sis not the most ortho-
doX or the most civilized Of MOhamme-
dams nor Is he OF the blUest blood OF
Islam. But OF all the great emlrs and
Sultans who have held sway between
Cordova and Delhi. he alone has sue
ceeded in maintaining his throne. and
Moslems in every part Of the globe
watch his fortunes with sOlcitUde.
Imagine. for instance" continued Dr.
Kirchner. the realization Of the yellow
peril and Christendom overwhelmed by
a Mongol invasion and the people Of
Europe subject 10 the immediate rule OF
a mandarin Of the province Of Europe
residing, say, IN Berlin. Supposing that
alone among the Western powers Russia
had succeeded IN maintaining her inde-
pendence and had retained IN 81. Peters
burg a tradition Of Christian government
Under such circumstances il IS possible
that the people of Europe would look
TO the Car with & reverence and az
lection which they are far from feeling
FOR him now, and would recognize in him
their champion and their representative.
-barbarous government
This far-fetched analogy" said the
German scientist will enable you 70
understand the sentiment which Moslems
outside the Turkish Empire entertain for
the Sultan as the only ruler OF any I'M
portance who still processes Islam. That
Is where the Importance Of the Sultan OF
Turkey in connection with the pan-Is-
lamic movement Is 20 be found"
MANY interesting tales have been told
about the dingo." said L NJ Newman. OF
Adelaide. Australia. who is at the Shore
ham. The dingo is the Australian wild
dog OF wOlish aspect. which has been so
destructive 70 the live stock Of farmers
when sheep were first taken into any
new country" said Mr.. Newman who IS
interested in sheep raising. ''the dingoes
at first took no notice Of them. but from
eating the flesh Of sheep that died they
soon got a love for mutton, and then the
sQuatters' troubles began. 4 careless
shepherd. when sheep were kept IN
flocks. would lose some and not miss
them. In a day or two the overseer
would come 20 count and find perhaps
100, more or less, gone. and then II was
all spare hands out 20 find them. Gen.
orally the first cIew TO where they were
would be finding dead and wounded
sheep and the rest scattered by native
dogs.
AT first trapping and running down
with kangaroo dogs was the order OF the
day. but that was found 10 be far too
slow work with wretches that have six
or seven in a litter, and arsenic was
tried. That was not satisfactory, as too
large or too small a dose had not the
desired effect Then strychniae was tried
with satisfying success.
