to do right regardless of the
opinion of men. A host OF
friends and neighbors weep with
his family, but we know their
loss is his gain and we must bow
in humble submission to the will
of God who doeth all things well.

INCREASE IN ARMY AND NAVY

Ostensibly to protect our coun-
try from the greed of other ma
tions, the party that stands fol-
colossal fortunes in America IL
building up great army and
navy. That this affords a feel
ing of security from foreign in
vasion there can be no doubt, but
the greatest satisfaction it brings
to the owners of the aforesaid
colossal fortunes is that it will
remove the necessity for fortify-
ing themselves in ''bombproff
homes" as some of them were
accused of doing when the army
was too small to suppress an
ordinary bread riot in one of our
large cities.
While our government is spend
ing millions for defence against
foreign enemies. one man in our
own country is permitted to levy
q tax on bread the very essence
of life a hundred times greater
than the tax on tea which pre-
cipitated the revolution and gave
freedom and libGrty to a long
suffering people.
In the present crisis the peo-
pie have a better right to expect
relief FROM their own govern
ment than they did from King
George. But it seems that the
petitions recently sent to Wash
ington have been ignored and
spurned in the same old Kingly
way.
After 100 years of devotion and
fidelity to the cause of liberty
and enlightenment the citizens
Of this republic are told that
there is not a dollar in the treas
ury or a law on the statutes that
can be used to stop the impending
cry of children for bread or drive
from the cheeks of those who
produce the wealth of this coun-
try the threatened pallor of

st arvation. Any agency save
that Of the Almighty that sends
hunger and famine into a land
Of plenty is deserving OF the
severest condemnation.
The people Of the United States
have more to fear from the aver
ice and greed Of a few men with
in it's borders than from the
whole of the outside world. The
fault does not lie SO much in the
character of these few men as 1t
does in the government that per-
mits it's people to be plundered
and robbed under a form OF law.
l have no hesitancy in saying
that if all Of these men should
die today a hundred would take
the place of one if they could.
The passion for making money
in order to become the richest
man in the world is more danger
Gus to society at large than the
passion for murder. The murder
er is usually satisfied with the
life of one. At any rate. ne is
confined in the penitentiary or
hung by the neck until ne is
dead. The man who withholds
necessity of life from the
mouths of human beings by no
right, save might and greed, can
count his victims by the thous-
ands, but instead of being put in
Jail or hung he is called "a king
of finance.
A United States Attorney the
other day speaking in a trust
case drew a dark picture of the
future opportunities of the young
men of America. He also stated
that what the people in every
land had failed to get by petition
to their government, they got by
a revolution.
l would not mention this if it
had not been from the lips of one
occupying a high place in the
federal government. What l
would say is this: The increase
of millionaires and the increase
of our standing army is coinci-
dence that warns the people of a
further restriction of the ballot
by coercion and intimidation.
That the steady increase of the
cost of living, with no increase
in wages, warns them of a de-
creasing power to resist such
coercion. And while the ballot
is still in their hands q will not
say free) it behooves men of all
parties to use it while they can
in preference to harsher methods
in securing a government that
will not put the dollar above
the man," and one that will
punish those who would coin the
hearts of the people in order to

satiate their greed for gold.
It would not do for an obscure
man to say that the divers and
lights of certain rich men would
some day be scattered over the
tall buildings Of our great cities. :"
But he might be safe in saying
that a government controlled by
the rich would in time of peril
protect the few, az, against the
many, just as it is doing in these
piping times of peace. james

PLEA Of JOHN R. WALSH
COMPLAINS THAT VERDICT IN
HIS CASE WAS "REPUGNANT.'
Asks for Writ of Certiorari From
the United States Supreme
Court.

Complaining that the verdict in his
case was 'repugnant. because of the fact
that a number of the counts against him
in his trial in the United States courts OF
Illinois were based upon the same trans
action, the Chicago banker. John r.
Walsh, yesterday filed in the Supreme
Court of the United States his petition for
writ of certiorari. which. II granted,
would have the effect of bringing the
record in the case to the Supreme Court
for general review.
Walsh was indicted in the district court
for the northern district of Illinois in
January, 1903. on $50 counts, all alleging
irregularity in the conduct of the Chi
cago National Bank. of which he was
president. and upon the subsequent trial
was found guilty upon fftyfour of the
counts.

court. 1t is the verdict of the court of

viewed by the Supreme Court.
The case is not of a character that can
be brought to this court on either an APP
peal or a writ of error, and no recourse
except that Of writ of certiorari was
left to him. The court grants only about

MR. TAFrS DECISION.
By EDWIN a. NYB.


If it is true, as stated on good au-
thority, that President Elect Taft has
made a decision never to drink alco-
holic liquor, he is to be warmly COM
mended.
Mr.. Taft has the will power of a
strong man, and if he has made up his
mind he win keep his pledge.
One naturally asks the reason for
such a determination.
There is perhaps small danger for
such a man in the occasional use of
intoxicants. His strong personality
would not permit such use to become
a vicious habit
But
Mr.. Tafts exalted position among
men makes his personal example mat
ter of great Importance. And, above
all
The spirit of his action in this de-
cision is the spirit of self denial for
the sake of others.
And that kind of spirit in a great
man is more potent than a thousand
