I- - i ... J t -' . 1 r ' 4tWri Av j "Father, Commoner i.euuiuship. Mr. F;ryan has i: t thought it proper to ue the columns of The Comraoner to m.ike answrr to criticisms which are purely personal, for he desires to mnki the paper an exponent of ideas rather thin of persons. There would he no room for anything else if he at teni.otril to r.ply to the many repub lican ami golu papers which contain unkind comments aid groundless ri IcUm. Te has flt at lihprty. however, to take notice of some luitorials whirh. in condemning him. condemn the ideas which he advocates. On another page will te found an editorial Horn the Springfield Repub lican which well illustrates one class of papers. The Republican opposed the democratic ticket in ism,, but in iyH) supported the ticket hf cause the ques tion of imperialism was made para mount The editorials of that paper, while they have more often found fault with the editor of the Commoner, are usually written in a friendly vein and with more fairness than many papers show. Attention is railed to this edi torial in order to point out a fact which must he home in mind by the advo cates of the Kansas City platform. It will he noticed that the main rharge made by the Republican! is that Mr. Bryan neews "a sane opportunism." It Is pained that Mr. Bryan does not bury the sliver question and thus be come the "leader" of the radical move ment. The Republican's position is easily explained. Its editor has never shown any comprehension of the real issue between the republicans and the gold democrats on one side and the Kansas City platform democrats on the other namely, the issue between Mam mon and man. The Republican thinks that the silver question should be bur ied, but the force of its opinion on this subject is materialy weakened by the fact that it thought the same thing in 189t and the year prior to that. When the dollar was constantly rising In ralue because of legislation hostile to silver, the Republican was in no wise alarmed. The appeals of the wealth-producers and the debt-payers never reached its sanctum. It treated the subject in a calmer manner than the ultra-sold standard organs, but it treated it from the side of the money lender anil the money changer. It is hardlr fair for a paper that could see t o life in the money question prior to IH'.hi to nose as an expert physician and Ke an opinion upon the vitality of that issu now. The editorial quorm shows that the editor does not under stand today the issue between those who want money scarce and those who want a sufficient quantity; between tho3e who want a financial system, mad? by the financiers for their own pvolt. and those who want a financial system made by the people for them selves. The editorial contains not the slightest reference to the gold standard plan, et ll uncompleted, which contem :l3';3. frst. the making of the silver CcVir. rrrifeTnahle In gold; second, the : .th'ira-.v2l of full Igal tender qual p'n fro-n it: third, its final retire-m-rt: fourth, a branch bank system; ";!. tile coms'fte retirement of the Krrer.bnrks. arid sixth, an asset cur rency. T!?.ss pre r-:j3;t ions are very irrportant ores, acd are being cor.sid crrd by the financiers and wi!I be p:feh-l a rapidly as possible. If the editor of the Republican was a. well informed on the subject of Russia might retort that her "ron etan.Iarv" is only reducing the zeal of a lot of fanatics." and thereby rail renewed attention to th? Philippine sit tation. The administration Is fighting shy of anything calculated to call fur ther attention to the Philippines. If Governor Pennypacke-r knows what people think of h'm we can cot blame him for a desire to prevent them from te!!tng it- The injunction sauce for the labor goose is not relished by the employer gander. American sympathy for the prose cuted Russian Jews would attract more attention were It cot for to many re ports of conflicts between our Philip pine "constabulary" and the "roving bands of ladrones." The reception of the Cleveland boom hj the republican leaders v.ill not be lost upon democrats who are loyal to principle and to party. The trouble with the injunction rem edy for monopoly Is that the monopo lies sem to think it is some new fangled kind of breakfast food. Dear Father, come home zcit? Comment. money as he is on the subject of im perialism, or if his sympathies were as actively with the masses of Ameri ca, who are the victims of Wall street's financial egislation. as his sympathies are actively with the Filipinos who are the victims of American exploitation, he would understand that the money question can not be dropped without a criminal disregard of public Interests. If he understood the money question, or if his sympathies were on the right side of the question, he would know that no compromise short of surrender can be made.with the financiars. At this moment there is such a scarc ity of money in the United States that that very scarcity is being used as a club to heat congress into the passage of an asset currency law. That scarcity is a sufficient reason for insisting upon opening tip the mints to the coinage of silver. Throughout the world there is a scarcity of standard money and that scarcity is evidence that silver is still needed. These things can be disregard ed by those who do not understand the subject ,but sympathize with the financiers in their desire for dear money, but they can not be overlooked by those who are acquainted with the principles of monetary science and whose sympathies are with the people once describling by John G. Carlyle as "the struggling masses." But even if the advocates of the Kan sas City platform were willing, for the sake of harmony, to consider the money question as temporarily settled, if they were willing to waive their views on this subject and agree to keep the money question in abeyance for a few years while other questions were con sidered, they would find that no prog ress would be made toward harmony, first, because the advocates of the gold standard are not satined with our money system as it is. but insist upon changes that are inimical to the inter ests of the public. The honest gold standard leaders would not agree to any proposition that would leave the money question in statu quo for four years, and there is no way by which they could be bound to an agreement, even if they were willing to make it. The advocates of the gold- standard have proposed the only terms that they will propose, namely, that the platform shol ignore, not only the silver part of the money question, but every part of the money question. Second, that the candidates shall be men who can be re lied upon by Wall street to use the en tire influence of the government to car ry out the plans of Wall street. Third, that the party organization shall be turned over to the advocates of the gold standard to have and to hold in perpetuity. This is the only basis of compro mise, and it is not compromise, but surrender, absolute and complete. If the republican does not know this it has rot improved the opportunity which It has had to discover what is going on. If the Republican, as is more likely, understands this, but can see no harm in it. that fact alone would disclose its bias in favor of the finan ciers. Like some of the other anti-imperialists, the Republican seems to wonder wh ythe democrats who con stitute the majority of the party are not disposed to accept an undemo cratic man for a place at the head of the democratic ticket. The answer is plain and ought to be known without the necessity of stating it. A man Mr. Rockefeller says it has always been the policy of the Standard Oil company to remain silent under at tack, and let our "acts speak for them selves." Probably every bank burglar in the country will agree as to the propriety of this course of action. Our Philippine "constabulary" is now engaged In subduing the fanatics. Is this to be taken a an Indaction that the supply of "insurrectos." "bandits." and "ladrones" has been exhausted? The beef trust continues to thrive on the early breakfast injunction diet. There seems to be conclusive evi dence at hand to show that Governor Cummins has traded hi? "Iowa idea" for something that looks wonderfully like a mess of vice presidential not tage. Surface indications are to the effect that the political pie prepared by the Wall street financiers is suffering from a soggy undercrust. The reformer sometimes succeeds in merely stirring up the mud. A woman doesn't have to be a con jurer to change her mind. me noze." Vith a;i'lo-ics to Minneapolis .Tourn-il. who is undemocratic in his sympathies can not be trusted with the immense power of the chief executive. The dem ocratic party tried that in 1S92, and the result was that the administration be came more subservient to plutocratic influences than any republican admin istration has ever been, and this sud- serviency alienated an immense num ber of voters and placed upon the dem ocratic name an odium that it has been difficult to remove. In 1890 the most potent argument that we had to meet was, "The demo cratic administration has ruined the country; a republican administration will restore prosperity." Mr. Hanna presented Candidate McKinley as the advanc e agent of prosperity, and while the democratic party was being held responsible for Mr. Cleveland's admin istratlon Mr. Cleveland was helping the republicans to elect their candidate. In 1IH0, when the democratic party tried to make imperialism the paramount issue, the most potent argument that it had to meet was. "The republican party has brought prosperity. Let well enough alone; do not risk a re turn to the hard times and soup houses of the last democratic administration." While the democratic party was bear ing the burden of Mr. Cleveland's ad ministration he sat silent in his New Jersey home and refused to say one word to assist the party in its fight against the republican party, notwith standing the fac tthat he had two years betore denounced imperialism as a menace to the country. As soon as the election was over, his voice returned to him. and he has been making the air vocal ever since with his advice to the party that he demoralized. A man's sympathies control him "as a man thinketh in his heart so Is he." If one sits down in a street car and overhears a conversation between two men he can very soon tell their sympa thies and when he knows their sympa thies he can guess the arguments they will use in support of their positions. The trouble with those who lead the reorganizing forces is that their sympa thies are wrong; they look at every question from thes tandpoint of the capitalist. According to their theory society is constructed from the top the capitalist is the great benefactor and the laborer ought to be in an atti tude of thankfulness for the opportuni ty to work. A man's sympathies con trol his position on every question which he understands. A man may be misled, and may ignorantly oppose those with whom he sympathizes, but he will not knowingly do so. While the editor of The Commoner appreciates the generous advice given him. his respect for the Republican compels him to answer with the same frankness with which it has spoken. He is not seeking leadership. Neither Is he concerned about his "political po sition in future years:" no man is in a position to do his duty who is con trolled by the ambition of a leader or who is always looking out for his own political future. Leadership is not se cured in that way. neither can one in sure his politcal position in future'years by centering his thoughts on. his own interests. Nominal leadership in a par ty is determined by the action of the convention, but leadership in thought and in political action is entirely inde pendent of caucuses and conventions. He leads who proposes the wisest meas ures and defends them with the strong est argument. No one can see the truth who constantly gazes at himself. Those find truth who seek for It who seek not casually or carrlessly, but earnestly. No one can, see the truth who constantly gazes at Lfmself. The Secretary Hitchcock Is convinced that the territories are entitled to statehood. This is, however, merely another indi cation that Mr. Hitchcok is trying to grease the ways for another g. o. p. performance in the promising line. the scratching sound Dc3 Moines ward is only Senator Allison trying to write a tariff plank that will say a whole lot and mean absolutely nothing. A task at which the senator is wonder fully adept. Thorough organization means the de feat of the effort at republicanization. Children's Choir to Staff Hymns A feature of the Christian Endeavor convention to be held in Indianapolis will be the proposed choir of 300 chil dren's voices who will provide the music on Junior Christian Endeavor day. Saturday. July 7. This singing of the old hymns by fresh childish voices will be one of the most eijoyable events in the week's program. The children composing the choir are to be taken from all the churches of the? city. Many a man gets a reputation for wisdom by leaving things unsaid. best evidence that one can give of his( faith in a truth is to be willing to suffer for It. Christ gave utterance to a principle of wide application when He said, "He that findeth life shall lose it. and he who loses his life for My sake shall find it." So it may be said of truth. He whose only object is to save his own political life will lose it. and will deserve to lose it. but he who is willing to lose his life for the sake of a cause or a principle, tri umphs with the cause or principle to which he adheres; he grows with it and enjoys the confidence of those who are wedded to it. The advocates of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms have shown their willingness to sufferj for their convictions. Why should they pretend a confession of error when they believe that they were right? Why pretend that the issue is past, when It is still upon us, and must remain? Why ignore, for the sake of a few offices, a fierce conflict between money and manhood? Why delude ourselves with the belief that a real or even a nomi nal victory can be won by a sacrifice of the people's Interest to the cold, rufl and merciless dictation of mon opolists, and magnates, in whom the love of money has extinguished the feeling of brotherhood. The Republican's reference to Jeffer son is an unfortunate one. for no man. not excepting Jackson, was ever more consistent in his course or more ten aciously held to gundamental princi ples. Jefferson's sympathies were with the people. He was not only the de fender of individual liberty, religious liberty and self-government, but he sounded the first note of warning against monopolies, against banks of issue and against the money power. He was assaued by the aristocrats be cause be was a democrat. He was as sailed by those who enjoyed spec'r.l privileges because he believed in eqiial rights to all and special privileges to none, and he himself said that he 'was denounced as a maniac by the bankers because he opposed banks of issue. Gladstone may have changed parties, but that alone would not convict, him of changing his principles. The silver men who came to the democratic party in 18G insisted that they were main taining the position i.iat the republican party hau maintained on the money question, and the anti-imperialists who came to us in 1900 insisted that they were maintaining the principles for which the party had stood. Opportunism is a good or bad word according to its definitions. If it means a willingness on tue part of one to change his principles in order to com pass individual success, it is a most of fensive word; if it means that one em ploys new facts, new incidents and new conditions to give expression to his principles, it is an entirely proper word. Every man and every party must utilize circumstances and conditions to ad vance principles, but no man or party can justify the abandonment of prin ciples tor selfish gain. An Alabama reader of the Commoner makes the following proposition: "If Here exists any reason why democrats should abandon their announced basic piinciples. and adopt republican or quasi-republican doctrines, it must be because those principles have been vin dicated, and if republican doctrines have been vindicated, then there is no question that the republican party should be continued in power." If the: reorganizes say that it is only the geld standard and not the high tariff that has been vindic ated, they must re member that the money standard is the same now that it was under Mr. Cleveland's administration, and that the republicans use the same arguments to show a vindication of a high tariff that they do to show a vindication of the republican financial policy. On another page will be found a car toon representing Mr. Watterson in his pathetic attempt to dissuade Mr. Cleve land fro seeking a third term. The cartoon is simply a resetting of a car toon which appeared in 1900 in the Minneapolis Journal which represents Mr. Bryan at the bar and Mr. Hill as begging him to leave "16 to 1," and "come home." Governor Mickey of Nebraska charges that attempts have been made to bribe him by men seeking appoint ment to state office at his hands. When asked for the names of the would-be bribers, the governor replied. "I do not think it necessary to say." Governor Mickey should take time to do some second thinking. The esteemed Chicago Tribune is just now engaged in trying to convince the bankers that national banks were made for the benefit of the government, and not the government for the national banks. As another election is drawing near the esteemed Tribune will shortly reverse its proposition. The Washington Post, although a re publican paper, has taken charge of Mr. Gorman s presidential coom. ana has reached a point where it is al most willing to guarantee that If he is nominated the vote of the district of Columbia will not be cast against him. Wterans have perhaps noted that fact that none of the men who are be rating General Miles and belittling his services as a soldier ever served with or under Miles in any campaign. Those who have served under Miles know that he is a soldier. The men who know about the thefts in the Dostal department and are will ing to tell what they know, are receiv- tna the cold shoulder from the gentle men engaged in making the inquiry. John Bull having benevolently assim ilated 100.000 square miles of territory in northwest Nigeria, it behooves Mr. Hay to get a hustle on himself to pick up another 2x4 island in the Philippine archipelago. The bankers are ctill declaring for an "elastic currency." by which they mean a currency they can stretch when it pays to stretch, and contract when it pays to contract. The Hill boom's displacement is quite a disappointment to the gentlemen who engineered the splash. Important Pure Food Victory - A paragraph of the agricultural ap propriation bill passed at the last ses sion of congress gives the secretary of the treasury, co-operating with the secretary of agriculture, power to pro hibit the importation into the United States of all deleterious foods, liquors and drug3. The law goes into effect on July 1. and plan3 are being matured to enforce it strictly. The law also gives the president a means of retaliat ing on any country which discriminates . against American products. SHIELD THE GUILTY A'AR DEPARTMENT COVERS UP GRAVE SCANDALS. ustice Demands the Punishment of Those Responsible for the Cruelties Inflicted on Helpless Filipinos Tes timony of Gen. Miles. It adds no weight to the report of Sen. Miles on Philippine conditions to say that he went to the inlands by rder of the President instead of mere y as a tourist. It is to the credit of President Roosevelt that he should have desired in account of Philippine conditions by in independent Inspector. It is to the Jiscredit of the war department that t should have suppressed (Jen. Miles' oport until compelled to give It out. !t is still further to its discredit that t continues to hold back iortions of :he report. Gen. Miles has added some import mt remarks to the portions of the re port which have been published. In i public letter he declares that the American soldiers in the Philippines are not to blame for the outrages com mitted there. The blame rests upon the officers who issued the brutal or flers. The total number of these offi cers, happily for the reputation of the army, is not great. The reputation cf the American sol lier is unrivaled in history. Horn a freeman, reaching manhood without dread of compulsory military service, the typical American soldier is the typical American citizen, accustomed from childhood to respect for the moral law, to decorum in all his rela- , Hon in life and to the urbanity which. characterizes the typical American citizen of every walk in the republic. There is no other country in the world in which manhood is as defer ential to womanhood as in the United States. There is no other country in which the breadwinner is so generous to his wife and children. There is no other country in which manhood so instinctively protects the aged, the iripple or the infant. "The bravest are the tenderest." This human type, rugged, gentle and alert, is not suddenly transformed from a man to a brute by enlisting in the army. Less a machine soldier than any other soldier in the world, the American soldier is more" intelli gent than any other, but not less obe dient, more self-reliant and less cring ing. He has no dread of an officer's sword thrust should he fail to salute, and he has an abiding self-respect which inspires fidelity to discipline and to the instincts of an honest and a brave nature. It is not surprising to learn from Gen. Miles that the atrocities in the Philippines are not to be charged to the soldiers, who, when compelled to commit them, were unable either to defy their superiors or to suppress their indignation and shame. The severest test that could be put to any army was applied to the Ameri can soldier during the civil war. "In the greatest and bloodiest of all wars, covering four years, in which were engaged 3,000,000 of brave men," Gen. Miles writes, "I have never heard of a single case of human torture, and those who falsely assert that it was practiced insult alike those who wore the blue and the gray." In reply to the implied necessity of punishing cruelty with cruelty in the Philippines Gen. Miles recalls the in contestable fact that although the sav age Indians committed every atrocity for a hundred years retaliation in kind or violence toward captives or sur rendered savages has always been pro hibited. It has also come out that many of the soldiers in the Philippie islands withheld their fire when ordered to shoot prisoners and protested against acts of cruelty when they were wit nesses or participators. Many of them have written to their families urging that action be taken to put a stop to the crimes committed in the name of the United States in the Philip pines. Justice will not be done to the repu tation of the American soldier until Congress shall have Investigated every outrage and shall have compelled the war department to punish the guilty officers according to the individual measure of guilt. The war depart ment will never do this without com pulsion. Cummins and the "Idea." We have two stories about Governor Cummins and the Iowa idea which may not be so inconsistent as they seem to be upon a hasty view. In fact, the later one may serve to explain the earlier or to put it in plain English. The earlier came from Sioux City. It was to the effect that when Gov. Cummins called at the white house be fore President Roosevelt set forth on his strenuous campaign he did so upon invitation aud that the result was a compromise on the "idea " issue. The governor, it was stated, acqui esced in the suggestion that he should stand squarely hereafter on the tariff plank of the republican platform of 1896, which declared that protection "in its reasonable application is just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic mon opoly, to sectional discrimination and individual favoritism," and this was characterized as a compromise. The later story comes from Wash ington and is in substance that there was no compromise about it, but an unconditional surrender by Gov. Cum mins of the idea that protection shelt ters monopoly. Now, whoever will read carefully and understandingly the quotation above given from the platform of 1896 will see that Gov. Cummins cannot stand on it squarely without backing down completely from the Iowa idea. The man who admits that protection in any degree or "application" is op posed to domestic monopoly must nec essarily discard the idea that pro tection shelters monopoly. We may safely accept the Washing ton version or explanation of the story as correct. It is entirely consistent with the record of western Republi can politicians, including Senator Allison, who in the past objected to too much tariff as tending to shelter monopoly, and" who have advocated tariff reform. ; All these have surrendered to t'ae exieremists or abandoned the party. So we may expect It to be with t')0 pretent reformers. They must in dorse; the monojMily tariff In ull its phases or get out of the Republlcuu party. Misinterpreting the Doctrine. Mr. proctor of the United States civil service commission Is reHrted a i desiring the United Stutes to "as sume its responsibility as a world power and preserve its markets for surplus products by declaring in tho strongest diplomatic language that any attempt by European nations to dismember the Chinese empire Is dan gerous to our peace and safety and as such an unfriendly act. In other words Mr. Proctor desires the United Stales to make an extension of the Monroe doc trine which will flatly repudiate Its essential priciplo that the United States does not undertake to dictate or control the destinies of non-American nations and therefore will rep.'l any attempt from outside to dictate or control the destinies of American nations. As the sole reason for this new example? of "world power" talk Is to preserve markets for surplus prod ucts why should not the United Stales interfere with politics in Europe, which buys more? American products in one year than China does ia twenty? Let the Facts Be Known. The postmaster general perseveres in the attitude he has seen fit to as sume toward the public demand for liAht on the scandals in the postofiice department. Mr. Payne does not concedo that the public has any right to information on the subject. The people of the Unit eel States, whose postofiice system is their vital con cern, want to luMiw, and have a right to know, what this investigation clis closes as it goes on. They demand the; facts now. Mr. Payne should be made to appreciate the seriousness and mag nitude of this demand. We can dis pense with the postmaster general's stories; we can struggle on without his merry quips, but we cannot remain satisfied until he gives us the facts about the postoffice department which are in his possession and ought to be also in our own. Tariff Revision Not Probable. That either house wants to take up the tariff at the coming session is tjpen to very serious doubt. The sugges tion to the contrary appears to be based on a rumor or report that Pres ident Roosevelt and Gov. Cummins have got together on the basis of the adoption of a tariff plank for 1904 not materially cliff ercnt from that found in the Republican platform of lSlM) and that the president will recommend legislation which will be affirmative of this agreement. Republicans op posed to tariff revision at the coming session of congress may say of this agreement, if it is a fact, "So far, so good," without being willing to go any farther. The senate will not differ in November from what it was in March, and in the latter month It was decidedly opposed to reopening the tariff question unless it had to. The Postoffice Tangle. The postoffice scandal investigation has disclosed that no more rural free delivery routes can be established until July 1st, as the appropriation for that purjjose has already been exceed ed by $20,000. The way matters have been running in that department was to go ahead and spend any amount of money and trust to Congress to make a deficiency appropriation by promis ing enough members that their dis tricts should be looked after. Spreading the Good Work. As might have been expected In deed, as we ventured to predict Capt. Pershing has found it advisable and necessary to disseminate still further the blessings of peace and civilization throughout the island of Mindanao. As some 1,800 natives were benevolently assimilated during this last pacifying expedition, we can readily accept Capt. Pershing's opinion that there is little cause to apprehend further disturb ances. A graveyard is seldom tbo scene of riotous proceedings. A Glaring Inconsistency. What is the use of declaring against tariff revision as these Republicans in Iowa did. and then further declaring that "we favor any modification" which, shall prevent the tariff's "afford ing any shelter to monopoly"? Es pecially when every man, north, south, east and west, Republican or Demo crat, knows that upward of 2C7 of the big industrial trusts are directly feci and fostered by the tariff the trusts which supply our daily necessaries. Growth of Imperialism. Just is soon as the march of Im perialism and expansion takes us be yond the shores of the continent ot North America then there are abun dant reasons for a still longer march. We must annex more in order to pro tect what we have already annexed That, in substance. - is the argument It may not be long before we begin annexing more countries in the antip odes to keep other nations from get ting too near the Philippines. Allison Is at Work. Late reports show Uncle William Allison still engaged in the congenial task of getting up a tariff plank for the Iowa Republican platform which will not bring a blush to the face of the most sensitive protective monopo list. Cummins is down cellar in the dark brooding over his sins. What the President Might Do. Even if the President does not feel like cutting short his trip he might gire orders for a few tons of chloride of lime to be distributed around the postoffice department pending bis re turn. He owes that much thought to public health Republicans and Reform. Reform in New York is traveling a hard road, but then how can It be expected to prosper under Republican auspices? The whole history of that party since the war has been a never ceasing fight against reform. An Easy Choice. With Colonel William Jennings Bryan praising the "Iowa idea," and President Roosevelt pronouncing against it. Republicans will have no difficulty . in making their choice. Dei Moines Capital.
