HEARST'S ATTACKS ON BRYAN

William Jennings Bryan really needs 10 defense against the attacks
OF Hearst Between the two men there is IL comparison; there can be
truthful and di,honorahle; Bryan commands respect because he is
worthy OF respect; Hearst i, not respected because he is unworthy
Of respect Hearst is interruptions; Bryan is scrupulous in all his pi
vate and public dealings.
Hearst attacks Bryan oshn>iby ir many reasons. The real reas-
OF for the present attacks upon Bryan by Hearst is that Bryan knocNei
the fIearst-Murphy plans at Baltimore ganeywest, and thus brought
about the nomination OF Woodrow Wilson. Bryan himself pays ne
attention to the Hearst attacks upon him. 1t is unnecessary. Thu
American people know Bryan. They may 10 always agree with him.
but they respect him and, millions of them love aim with sincere devo-
ton. Where Bryan is best known, he is loved most. Where Hearst
is best known, he is most despised.
AS to Bryan, alleged retreat from the position OF the Democrats
platform in regard to exemption "t American ships from canal tolls
he has done nothing OF the kind The platform contradicts itself in
regard to that matter by standing against subsidies and then declaring
for toll exemptions. In the latter declaration it demands that we break
or word. From that position any man should retreat" because that
is the honorable course. No party "a gain anything by maintaining
a dSnonorabe position. Bryan has chosen the honorable course. 1t is
not in his nature to take n other course-san Francisco Star.

TO ALL COUNTIES
Illinois Centennial Commission
Proposes a Publicity
Campaign.

Chicago, Sept. lit is surprising
how many people are taking an &C
tive interest in the plans for the cele-
hration of the Tooth anniversary of
the admission of Illinois to statehood
said Representative John S. Burns,
chairman of the publicity committee OF
the Illinois centennial commission, to-
day. Our committee is receiving let
tiers from men and women all over
Illinois, asking for information regard,
ing the activities of the commission
and offering valuable suggestions for
the celebration.
There is no doubt, in my Judgment
thar this will be the most impressive
event of this character ever celebrat
ed in the United States. State off
Gals and members of the legislature
are practically unanimous in the con
viction that the anniversary should
be marked in a manner befitting the
dignity and important rank taken by
Illinois among the states.
Every community in Illinois will
have an opportunity to participate IN
the celebration and present indications
are that the centennial will be as gen
erallv observed as the Fourth of July
or Christmas School children
throughout the state are already pre-
pairing for the event and it is probable
that every child attending a public
parochiaI or private school will con
tribute something to the notable dem
onstration.
LAS soon as the vacation season is
at an end, members of the centennla
commission will take up an active
campaign of publicity, for the purpose
cf acuuainting citizens of Illinois with
the plan and scope of the centennial
celebration. Speaking dates will be
arranged in every county OF the state
to this end, SO that everyone INTEREST
ed may learn of what is being done.

MILAN ASSAULT
CASE ON TRIAL
Ray Prescott Arrested for At
tack on Monte Young
Aug. 20.

Ray Prescott of Milan, defendant in
a case in which he is charged with as
saulting Monte Young, proprietor of a
pool room in Milan, was this morning
arraigned in the court of Justice of
the Peace Clarence j. Schroeder. But
little testimony was taken and the
case was continued until tomorrow
morning, in order to give the state an
opportunity to secure more witnesses.
The assault is alleged to have taken
place on the evening of Aug. 20 In
Young's pool hall. 1t followed the
theft of tarpaulin which is used in
covering pool tables. One had been
stolen from the place and Young had
heard that several young men had it at
a camp on the Rock river.
Prescott was a member of the camp
ing party and when he entered the
pool hall on that evening Young spoke
to him about the matter. Later in the
evening Prescott returned to the place
and while Young was at play with
customer, called him aside. Young
spoke with Prescott for moment and
then returned to the game. Prescott
became angry that the owner was not
giving him more attention. 1t is charg-
ed that then the assault occurred and
that Prescott struck Young on the
back of the head with a sap flooring
the proprietor and rendering him un
conscious for several hours.
Prescott disappeared after the as
sault and was only recently located.

CLOSE VERA CRUZ
PORT REBS' ORDER
Washington Officials Declare
Decree May Be Ignored
or Soon Revoked.

Washington, Sept. Provisional
President Carranza has ordered the
port of Vera Cruz closed, said official
aivices received yesterday by the
American government. General Fun
stcn transmitted long report on the
complications which might result, but
state department officials were not IN
cIined to regard Carranza's action as
unfriendly. So
Carranza's decree would prevent
Mexican ships from putting in at
Vera Cruz and if enforced in an I'M
friendly way might exact heavy pen
alties from foreign vessels entering
any other Mexican port after they
touched at Vera Cruz. z
In some quarters there was a dispo-
si.ion to regard Carranza's attitude as
one of resentment against the contin-
ued occupancy of Vera Cruz by Amers
lean troops, but state department offi-
Gals did not share this view.
Paul Fuller, personal representative
of President Wilson, is due in Mexico
City tomorrow to discuss with the
government there questions relating TO
the American occupancy of Vera Cruz.

II is generally understood that
American recognition will be withheld
until a complete agreement between
Che two chieftains has been reached
and arrangements made for constis
tu.ional election.
General Wotherspoon, chief of the
army staff, denied that General Funz
ston had asked for reenforcements or
threatened show of greater force at
Vera Cruz.
General Carranza halted the running
of trains from Mexico City to Vera
Cruz. but General Funston notified him
that no trains would be permitted 70
leave Vera Cruz until the service from
Mexico City was restored. A few
hours later the service was restored.

Former Premier A. J. Balfour said
