Memorial Sunday.

Next Sunday is Memorial Sunday"
In large number of churches it is the
custom to hold special memorial SER
vices on that day, and this is the one
special go-to-church day for the G.. A.
K. and all old soldiers. The organiza
tion, where it is strong enough, usual
ly goes to church in a body. The
minister on this occasion usually de-
livers a sermon along patriotic lines
and special patriotic songs are sung.
While the day was especially set aside
to do honor to the memory Of those
who fell in line of battle,yet in recent
years, the day, like Memorial Day
proper, ls' being observed more and
more by the public in general, and
on these days the people do homage
to the memory Of their departed
friends and loved ones. There has
been no effort made this season as
far as we know, to observe Memorial
Day, May Both, at Wood in beft-

BRYAN PUTS PARTY
FIRST in TOLLS WAR
Democratic Success De-
ponds on Passage of
Repeal Bill, He Says.
ONE PLATFORM PLANK
OFFSET BY ANOTHER
In Addition to All This the Secre-
tary Believes in Playing
Fair with Nations.

Secretary Bryan, discussing the repeal
Of the free tolls clause OF the Panama
act in the April number OF The Com
moner" which goes to press to-day
places the necessity for favorable action
by the Senate chiefly upon the ground OF
party expediency.
when We come TO consider the repeal
measure upon its merits" he says, there
are just two questions 10 be decided.
First. is il desirable for the Democratic
party to abandon its historic position and
become the advocate OF subsidies and
bountes? And. second, If it is desirable,
what is the Democratic party willing TO
sacrifice in international prestige and In
world influence In order TO secure the
advantage which these subsidies promise
to few people?
mo party can afford to adopt prin-
ciple without considering how far the
principle extends or what its adoption In
wolves. In the pasttthe Democratic party
has been able 20 consistently oppose
every form OF governmental favor be-
cause il has stood for equal rights TO all
and special privilege to none. 1t has not
only opposed the bounty when given d.
rectly. but il has with equal earnestness
opposed the bounty given indirectly
through a protective tariff. It has de-

Rates May Be Reduced.

But even il IL could be shown that
free tolls would reduce transcontlnental
rates it should be remembered that those
rates, II excessive, can be reduced by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Why
should we disturb our foreign relations
in order 10 do at the isthmus what We
can do directly by regulation?
when the student Of this subject un-
derstands that the Republican party Is
the friend Of bounties and that the Dem
ocratic party is the inveterate foe OF
bounties, he will understand why four
ffths OF the Republicans in Congress
voted against the repeal OF the bountles,
while four-fifths OF the Democrats in
Congress Joined the President In favor
ing the repeal OF the law granting boun-
ties
Even il the Democratic party were
willing to be guilty OF apostasy 10 its
principles; even II 1t were convinced that
these Republicans had been right in ia
voring subsidies and the Democratic
party wrong in opposing them, how much
would It be willing TO pay in national
prestige and in world influence for the
privilege of following at the tail end Of
the Republican procession on this sub
ject?

among the nations; we are the foremost
advocate of peace and arbitration; We are
becoming more and more moral factor
throughout the world. Can we AFFORD 70
surrender this position? Can we afford TO

The Committees Statement.

The press statement issued from Demo
cratic headquarters recites:
The most interesting and significant
DEVELOPMENT in the spirited contest now
wscinC over the repeal of free tolls
centres around the poll which Senator
Gore. of Oklahoma, is now taking of the
DELEGATES TO the Baltimore convention
The Democratic platform adopted at Bal
tinore declared in favor OF free Tolls
This platform pledge has been the chlet
argument on the part of the opponents OF
the repeal. It has been the Gibraltar from
which they have been conducting their op-
erations in opposition TO the PRESIDENTS
policy. Morning, noon and night they
have pleaded the sanctity OF a platform
pledge. This plea is constantly on the
lins Of Democratic Senators who are re-
sisting repeal 1t was constantly on the
Yrs OF the House leaders, who led one
ffth Of the Democrats in that body
against repeal.
''In order 10 ascertain the sentiment or

Washington. April 1.-THE importance
of the tolls question as viewed by the
Derocratic party was disclosed tonight
in statement issued from the permanent

Committee. which has been ENLISTED IN
the deht Of the administration TO carry
through the repeal BILL
The statement. announcing the result
Of a poll OF the delegates who ATTENDED
the Baltimore convention, declares thal

in his efforts TO repeal the OBNOXIOUS

The statement from the headquarters
NJ the Democratic National Committee is
intended TO convince Democratic Senators
that sentiment throughout the country is
not so hostile 10 the repeal OF the tolls eA-
emption clause as the opponents OF the
measure would have them believe. For
the next two weeks the battle VIII be
fought along these lines. and the conflict
IN washington will be intended TO demon
strate the attitude OF the people toward
the bill. The opponents Of the President
are counting on public opinion TO turn the
tide in their favor. If this fails their de-
feat in the Senate is sure.
Hearings on the repeal bill will be re-
sumed by the Interoceanic Canals Com
mittee tomorrow and will probably be
carried on without further delay until
the fifteen days allowed for that purpose
have ended.

Republican Congressional Committee to-
night that letters and kilograms had been

If we are to give bounties to coastwise
vessels for one reason, We will be asked
to give bounties to some other corpora
tons for reasons equally as good. and
the party's power TO protect the public
treasury will be paralyzed. 1t must be
remembered. too. that our coastwise YES
sells are largely controlled by monopoly.

tho subsidies voted 10 ships in the coast
wise trade will come back to the pubic
through decreased freight rates on the
transcontinental lines. This Is the same
old protectionist argument. This reduc-
ton is improbable because the water rate
Is so much below the freight rate that
the reduction OF 81 % ton subtracted
from the water rate will not compel a
reduction, as a matter OF fact. in the
transcontinental rate.
