typical of the Irish race, the section

GUESSING that subject, exploiting the
performances of certain athletes
Said McGinnis: 81 raymimber once
a feIley over on the ould sod stood on
his two feet and Topped over ditch 30
feet wide"
Sure, that's no jump. at all, at all,
said the section boss, filling his pipe.
81 knew a lad be the name of Kilduff,
who went out hunting in the wilds of
Afriky. He ran into a bunch Of can
naybals who made for him; droppin'
his gun, he shtarted to run, and run he
did for 10 miles with the cannaybals
gainin' on him at livery shtep. Unbe-
knownst to him he ran shtraight up to
a river that was a mile wide. Without
shtoppin' he took mighty leap and
landed on the other side. "How's that
for jump, DAM" said the boss.
He musht have been fair jumper"
said McGinnis. but just think Of the
shtart he had!'

WHERE WE KEEP STILL.

The reader must have read considerable
about that debaunching of voters in Adams
county. There were nearly 1000 arrests of
small farmers, newly naturalized foreigners a
doctor or two, minister or two for sell
ing their votes at from 50 to 500 The thing
had been going on for years and had become
such drain Oh campaign funds that the OPP
posing democratic and republican committees
got together and resolved not to buy as a
matter of self-protection
Judge Blair fined the guilty by the hun
dreds and disfranchised for five years 1000 of
them
With pleasure we saw that long line of
political sinners filing from the pressure of JUS
hce denuded OF their base gains and dishonored
before their countrymen, for to sell ones vote is
one OF the blacklist of sins foul crime against
all of us, the government.
Yes, we looked that procession of ill-fed,
half-clad farmers and farm hands over and
said that justice is fine old famale to reach
down from her pedestal and punish this army
of villains who would practically assassinate
our form Of government. But there seemed
to be something wanting in that procession.
Maybe justice with the bandage over her eyes
had failed to something Ha When there
is sale there must be buyers as well as sell
ers, and there wasn't one buyer in all that
army of 2000 sellers. Why? Listen to Judge
Blair, who at Denver recently talked about
nv" he IePiesehted justice Ill tne mattef Oh
those Adams county sales:
81 prosecuted the vote seller only
In the first place, he was easier to catch
IN THE SECOND PLACE, THE
BUYER, | BELIEVE, WAS HONEST.
| mean by this that he was working
for his party. His attempt to buy votes
a sincere effort according to his
light to help his own side, while the
vote seller had principle nor even
party loyalty to back him
We would like to make some comment on
this that would do somebody some good some
where 1t is impossible. The failure of jus
ticc, the rank Partially of justice, the recall
of the judiciary, and other live matters sug-
gest themselves, but the editorial spirit quails
and would produce mere drivel should it ex-
patiate this latest layout Of morarity and
judicial policy. We are but human Even the
greatest among us editors is occasionally rem
dered speechless Here's where ere speech
less. We leave Judge Blair's kindly EXPOSITION
OF the bribers honesty and superb sincerity as
the last word to be said

COAL PRODUCTION
FOR THE YEAR 1910

WASHINGTON, June S.-An un-
official estimate of the total coal
production of the United States
for the year 1910, made by e. w.
Parker, coal statistician of the ge-
illogical survey. places the years
output at between 4S0,000,00O and
490,000,000 tons.
The first record of output was in
1914. when % tons were mined.
BY 1850 the yearly production had
grown to what was then consfd-
cred the enormous total of 1915
1S1 tons, and in 1860 this figure
had been doubled The year 1870
saw production of 53.2S0,000
tons; in 1880, 71.4S1,570 tons, yet
this is less than the production of
Pennsylvania in 1909. In 1890 the
production had jumped to 157,77O,-
900 tons; in 1900 to 9,6S4.O27
tons; in 1907, 4S0,363, 424 tons, and
in 1909, 460,S03,416 tons.

DEMocRT1c PRINCIPLES AND BRYAN1sM

Colonel Bryan voice is still for free wool.
He will not stand for even small revenue tariff
on wool. If the fleece of sheep is not placed
on the free list the democratic party will be be-
trayed, he says. Why rice and sugar,
well, should not be placed on the free list he
does not say. They do not come in the cate
CORY of raw materials in his estimation, and
the tariff duties them do not appeal to him
protective.
When Colonel Bryan attempts to prove that
any proposition he lays down is cardinal tenet
of the democratic faith, he quotes some previ-
Gus utterance of William jennings Bryan. He
bases his demand for the abolition of all duties
wool plank in the Denver platform
which he wrote himself when he was candidate
the third time for president. If that was the
issue voted he was defeated by a plurality
of l045,715
But Colonel Bryan appears to be unfamiliar
with the history of his own party. The first
national convention, says the Oakland Tribune,
Of political party held in the United
States was the convention that nominated An
drew Jackson for second term in 1882 That
convention put forth the first democratic plat
form presented to the nation state
ment OF party purposes and party principles.
That platform contained a plank declaring
for protection 1t reads as follows
That adequate protection to
American industries is indispensable to
the prosperity of the country, and that
the abandonment of the policy at this
period would be attended with conse-
quences ruinolls to the best interests of
the nation.
On this platform Andrew jackson defeated
Henry Clay by vote of 685,502 to 530,1S9.
Is William Jennings Bryan better demo
rrat than Andrew jackson? Why should wool
be Disseminated against in making tariff
schedule? Why should any rural industry be
singled out for exposure to free trade while
protection is still given to all branches of man
ufacturing?
These questions which Colonel Bryan does
not deign to answer but the democrats in
the house of representatives have answered for
twenty per cent ad valorem on wool-for reve-
nue.. Colonel Bryan says it is for protection
What s the difference? There will be heavy
mportations of wool and the twenty per cent
ad valorem will afford considerable revenue to
the government and incidentally, some pro
lection for the American woolgrower Had
Champ Clark and Mr. Underwood yielded to
Colonel Bryan dictaton the government would
get no revenue from wool and the American
Woolgrower would be deprived of all protection
The doctrine of victory in 1882 seems to
have far greater claim to consideration than
the dictHm of defeat in 1908 Colonel Bryan
labors under the delusion that he is the demo-
cratic party, but others who have to bear the
only the Old Man of the Sea perched on the
shoulders OF the party-a grievons weight and
maign influence.
