Judge Carpenter made a point In
his instructions to the jury in the
packers case which is well worth re-
peating. Defining "a reasonable
doubt" he said that while the law
presumes every man innocent until
proved guilty beyond q reasonable

where there is sufficient legal evil

go to unreasonable lengths in ignor-
ing such evidence In order to give the

Philadelphia Record.
Intelligent persons who follow with
open minds the statements made by
Theodore Roosevelt and his newspaper
hackers here and elsewhere cannot fail
to be impressed with the fact that while
prating about their love Of and conf
dence in the ability Of the people OF this
country. they really think a considerable
number OF them are fools In Mr.. Roose-
velt's latest speech. which one or two Of
his idolators tell US Is a masterpiece. II
not better. the ex-presldent says:
Mr.. Taft fairly defines the issue when
he says that our government Is and
should be a government OF all the people
by a representative part Of the people.
This is an excellent and moderate de-
scription OF an oligarchy. II defines our
government as government Of all Of
the people by a few of the people.
1t is clear to ell fair-minded men just
what President Taft meant by that 1t
was a fair description OF the form Of
government provided for under our con-
stitution-the exact kind We have had
iAoth tAit btkAhAAHS. II 10 hoN Ahc
scription Of an oligarchy.
Mr.. Taft is president. as was Mr.. Roose-
welt before him. The president is the
representative of all the people. selected
by a majority Of those who voted at the
last presidential election; and such acts
as he performs under the law are the
acts Of the people through him as their
representative in the presidential office.
The membership Of congress is but an
infinltesimal part Of the total voting
population Of the COUNTRY; and who has
ever before denied that the members OF
congress were the representative part Of
the pople in such acts as they perform
under the constitution adopted by the
people?
II government of the people by q rep
resentative part Of the people is an OIL
garchy, that is what we have had from
the beginning. How strange that SO
many millions Of people never discovered
the horrors Of the system before.

Mr.. Bryan now seeks TO justify his
threatened Reputation OF the presi-
Dental preference vote II 1t does not
favor his man by declaring that our
primary permits a plurality to decide,
in which event the decision would not
represent the will Of the majority.
Yes, but all our boasted democratic
government Is government by plurall-
ties and not by majorities. The cleo
toral vote of Nebraska went TO Bryan
last time only by a plurality. Had
he captured the required number OF
electors through a mere plurality OF
the popular vote, of course he would
have declined to take his seat In the
White House.

Mr.. Bryan makes another persona

Mr.. Bryan makes another personal
attack on Roger Sullivan. Although
he had denounced Roger four years
before as a political porch climber,
during the last presidential contest
he took him again to his bosom and
made him one of his trusted cam
paign managers. But he asserts now
that a leopard cannot change his
spots and that Roger must be
dumped. Nevertheless and notwith-
standing, 1.-THE skies are bright with
