The character of a party from time to time depends upon the char acter of its leaders. If the leaders are controlled by sinister influences Inimical to the interests of the peo ple, the party for the time being will bo controlled by such influences, and a victory for that party is a victory for those influences. The representa tives of those influences do not as'; whether a candidate belongs to the party of Jackson or of Lincoln, but merely whether he is friendly to the interests they represent. The voter with no interest to serve but that of himself and his country should learn a lesson from them, for they seldom make the mistake of voting for a can didate who is likely to thwart their purposes. When they are lined up in favor of a particular candidate, he may rest assured that it is because they have some guarantee that he will serve the interests iliey represent, and then, if he is true to himself and to his country, he will cast his vote against that candidate, no matter by what party he is put forward. No Retreat. For years the people have been de manding relief from corporate abuses and rapacity. The fight for the cor rection of those evils is now on and they insist that it shall continue until those abuses are wiped out and the coctrine of a "square deal" firmly es tablished as a rule of official conduct. President Roosevelt has been able to accomplish much in directing the flght. His official position has been of immense advantage, but it would have counted for little had there not been back of it the disposition and desire to make the fight effective, lie was not the choice of "predatory wealth" for the presidency, but of the people and has shown both the disposition and the desire to serve them. But his term of office expires next March, while the fight against corporate greed has barely begun. If the fight Is to be kept up and pushed to a successful issue, the choice of a successor to Roosevelt is a matter of supreme importance. His successor will be either Bryan or Taft. The corporations against whom this fight has been made and those who fatten on their lawlessness, are solidly lined up for Taft and in oppo sition to Bryan. If the people permit them to select the man who shall lead the fight against them for the next four years, the fight for a "square deal" is lost. If the people would win this fight their leaders should be se lected by them, not by the enemy. Photo post cards of Taft at Platts mouth, now on sale. Ten different views 5 cents each. Nemetz & Co.

Department Store, A Noble Answer "I have lived in vain if your accusat ions have lost me a single friend.' These words, spoken by William J. Bryan, in reply to the intemperate at tacks of the Rough Rider who occupies the White House are the words of a man who is enough to be President of the man who by the grace of God and the votes of the people is the next President of the United States. No thoughtful person, taking into consideration the speaker and the one to whom these words were addressed, can fail to realize the nobility, the magnificence of this reply. Beside this calm, dispassionate declaration that sprang from the full, pure heart of an upright man the filthy malignity with which Theodore Roosevelt addressed William J. Bryan appears like a repul sive devil beside an angel of light. And against the upright, irreproachable and impeccable character of the leader of the Democracy, the poisoned shafts of Roosevelt have availed as little as the darts of Satan against the legions of light. The contrast between Bryan and Roosevelt presented by this recent pas sage at arms is indeed pitiable for Roosevelt. Even the inborn respect of the American citizen for the position which the accidental President occupies, cannot and should not prevent the con viction that the office of the chief mag istrate of the United States has been defiled and debased by the presence of one who is capable of such unthinking, intemperate and wild accusations as those in which the mock-hero of San Juan has indulged. Mr. Bryan ha3 not lived in vain. His life is an open book before the Ameri can people. His goings and comings are known to all, and upon the bright armor of his political prowess are the scars of three battles but not a single stain.
