There is to be no pruning of the
tariff unless grafting is allowed at the

great deal of grafting is the idea of the
friends of the tariff. They call this
non-partisan method.
Governor Johnson may be the
choice of the republicans and Wall
street democrats, but Bryan is the
choice of nine-tenths i f the militant
democrats of the United States, and he
will le the choice of the Denver con

Justice Harlan of the U. S. su

Minnesota case wherein that court
held the attorney general in contempt
for trying to enforce a state law, said,
"we have come to a pretty pass when
one federal judge can enjoin an official
of a state from the enforcement of a
law passed by the legislature of the
state." '.Ye reprint the above again
and it ought to be printed every we ek
by every paper in this broad land, so it
might be rubbed into the minds of blind
partisans, just what they are up against
good and hard. There is nothing left

act. No party lines should be strong
enough to hold any good American citi

As Gov. Johnson will perhaps never
soe this little squib, we, the Journal
will endeavor to answer our hide-bound
republican contemporary. First, the
democratic party believes in a "govern
ment of the people, for the pecple and
by the people." Second, in the rights
cf the state- guaranteed to them by the
makers of the constitution of this
Union. Third, in laws that will give
equal rights to si'.i the people -rich and
poor, high ar.d low, alike. Fourth,
.".gainst the centralization of power, as
espoused by Alexander Hamilton. which
the republican administration is en
deavoring to inflict upon the American
people. Fifth, in the abolishment cf
all trusts, which -are robbing the peo
ple under the guise of a high protective
tariff. Sixth, that the government
should be wrested from the hands of
its enemies-the leaders of the republi
can party.

The political enemies of Hon. W. J
Bryan in the east have already per

Let 'em fuss. The people pay the freight
The Lincoln Herald truthfully re
marks that there are only two things
that can defeat Mr. Bryan for election
this year, the dictation, intimidation and
ballot corruption of the great "inter
ests," and the lavish use of boodle,
furnished the republicans by the mon
ey power as in the Mark Hanna cam
paign of 1900. No one doubts Mr.
Bryan's ability to cope with all the
great questions, he is recognized as
the ablest and most remarkable man
of the age, he is a man of spotless
character and he is nearer to the
hearts of the great common people
than any man in the nation. Nothing
but fraud and intimidation can defeat
him.
Republican Congressmen Worried
The majority of congress is much
worried by the sceptre of tariff revis
ion. The sentiment of the country in
favcr of taking steps looking toward
revision is pronounced. This senti
ment is making it very hard for the
stand patters to stand pat. Speaker
Cannon has felt the demand for revis
ion at an early day, and is hedging by
the introduction of two resolutions, one
of these calling upon the Department
of Justice to know what is doing toward
breaking up the paper trust; and the
other asking of the Department of
Commerce and Labor what steps have
been taken in investigating this trust.
The object doubtless is to attract at
tention from the proposal that the
duty on wood pulp and paper be re
pealed. The party in power is, of
course, afraid to take the risk of open
ing up the whole tariff question through j
the consideration of a bill aimed at the
pulp and paper monopoly. They are
afraid that should such a bill come up,
the dsbate on it would 13 extended and
amendments would be attached which
would involve changes in present tar
iff schedules which would a.Tect busi
ness from the center to Li e bounda
ries of the country. Speaker Cannon
is very anxious concerning the situa
tion with regard to himself as speak
er cf the House and of a Presidential
candidate. The advocates of a tariff
commission and early revision are
not satisfied with the dictum of the
Illinois Convention for the maximum
and minimum schedule and want to
know just what the import of such a
schedule is. Messrs. Payne and Dal
zell, the leaders of the stand-patters
in the House, oppose every move for
the revision of the schedules in any
other way than with sittir.irs, during
the recess, of the Ways and Means
Committee. The
ings, they ad
mit, will not take place until the
presidential election has been decid
ed. The rerublican opponents of Secre
tary Taft have found the weakest rpot
in his armor when they charged that
there is being mad j for him a "con
servative" campaign in the east and a
"radical" campaign in the west.
There can be no disputing the facts.
The eastern dalies that are advocating
Taft's nomination are commending
him as a safe r.nd sane conservative,
who is committed to the Roosevelt
"policies" only as Knox and Fairbanks
are, and who, if elected, would "be
his own man," and carry out his own
ideas in his way. They point to his
conservative record on the bench, to
hi3 entire long public career in proof
of their assertion that he is the last
man whom the big business interests
would need to fear. His election, they
insist, would put an end to the present
"agitation and unrest," and give the
country a chance to get on its feet
again.
Now there may Le some 'weight in
these arguments. Certainly they have
a sort of plausibility, and if Secretary
Taft's campaign were made on this
platform all over the country it would
have at least dignity and courage.
But in the west it is different; alto
gether different.
Out here Taft is presented as a
militant reformer; as Roosevelt's man
Out here he is represented as a trust
buster, a railroad regulator, a rampant
Roosevelt progressive, who is only
anxious to smite the reactionary
Gideonites hip and thigh, and who will
carry to a glorious conclusion the fight
for the Roosevelt "policies."
Now there is strength in this position,
too. If Taft would take his stand up
on it openly, boldly, unequivocally, he
would appeal to the progressives and
win their friendship while he was earn
ing the hatred of the reactionaries.
But Taft does neither and his friends
do both.
Taft goes right along talking of the
Philippines and emitting nambypamby
platitude while his friends in the east
tout him as a conservative and his
friends in the west praise him as a pro
gressive.
It is an essentially cowardly and dis
honest campaign. When the facts be
come generally known, as they will be,
it cannot fail to injure Secretary Taft
both in the east and the west. World

A Ne Amendment.
It is reported from Washington that
not later than May 1st an imperial
ukase will issue from the White House
ordaining and proclaiming the following
amendment to the constitution of tJ ese
imperial United States:
AMENDMENT XVII
In the first half of the fourth official
year of his incumbency of the office the
President of the United States shall
designate and appoint his successor in
office, and such successor shall qualify
and enter upon the duties of said office
upon the 4th day of March of the second
calendar year after such designation
and appointment. Nothing herein shall
be construed so as to prohibit any such
incumbent from designating himself to
such succession. All persons denying
the validity of this amendment are
liars. Theodore i.

"I never had any faith in patent medicines until I tried Pernna, but my

"For tho past few years I have found that I caught cold easily, which
would settle in a most unpleasant catarrh of the head. I had to be especially
careful about being out of evenings, and not to get chilled when dressed thin
for parties, but since I have used Peruna my general health i improved, and

John lyerson Increases His
Working Facilities and
Builds Addition to
Shop.
About two years ago John Iverson
came to this city and accepted employ
ment with Joseph Sans, then a black
smith in the building where C. L. Mar
tin had his livery stable. Here, as an
employe, he worked for one week, and
became a partner by purchasing a half
interest in the business of Mr. Sans.
They conducted the business together
for about a year, when Mr. Sans, de
siring to discontinue the business and
engage in farming, sold his remaining
interest to Mr. Iverson, who had proven
himself a workman worthy of his call
ing. Mr. Iverson purchased the site
across the street, with a small building
on it, and since has repeatedly enlarged
the building, as he was not able to care
for the business in the crowded quarters
which he first purchased. In the addi
tions which he has made he enlarged
the room Loth ways, and has recently
placed another addition on the south
end of twenty feet, lie has installed
:tric lights in the place of business ;

A Sunday Runaway. j
In the hubbub and hurry of moving j
yesterday we did not get the copy to .
the printer regarding the runaway
which occurred Sunday. While services
were being conducted at the Episcopal
church the team of W. J. White, which
was hitched near the church building
became frightened, and breaking loose
started for home, and the carriage
tongue coming down, ran into the
ground at the crossing near the resi
dence of Dr. E W. Cook, at which
place they became detached from the
carriage, which was somewhat demol
ished, and continued their way home
ward. With the exception of the break
ing of the harness and the injury done
to the carriage, and fright incident to
the affair, nothing more serious resulted.
