Torum of the Weekly Press.
Staunton (Va.) Argus: The repub
lican party Is having a dosporato in
testinal tear-up in its efforts to reform
tiio tariff within itself.
Polcin (111.) Times: The republican
party is bavin a bard tlmo trying to
explain how it Is for revision of tho
tariff and against rovision of tho tar
iff at tho same timo.
Fotoaux (I. T.) Journal: Labor or
ganization is the only force that can
successfully resist tho steadily increas
ing encroachments of tho trusts. Is it
any wonder, then, that tho trusts seek
to outlaw tho unions by prodding
thom into conflict with tho militia?
Tunkhannock (Pa.) Democrat: The
democracy stands on tho tariff and
trust questions whore it has always
stood, namely, "Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none."
Canton (0.) News-Democrat: Since
President Roosevelt has been bold
enough to declaro that there are two
kinds of trusts, good and bad, will ho
-bo kind enough to mention two or
three that are good and two or three
that are bad. There is nothing like
getting things in their proper cate
gory. Carlyle (111.) Constitution: When
a political organization is controlled
by the trusts, and that organization
is in control of the government, then
that government ceases to be of tho
people or by tho people, but of the
suffering millions by the luxuriant few.
Look at tho situation in tho mining
districts.
Wymoro (Neb.) Arbor State: In
stentorian tones every republican ora
tor of 1900 shouted that "tho republi
can party could be depended on to deal
with the trusts." In tho light of more
recent events we are inclined to think
they were confused in their phraseol
ogy. They should have said "deal to
the trusts."
Sallna (Kas.) Herald: At Bison,
Rush county, a man found a petrified
human Tiead the size of a baseball in
tho cinder dump of a mill, and will
take tho thing to Lawrence for exam
ination. Its size, density and the fact
that the flro had not damaged it points
strongly to a prehistoric race of peo
ple who would not read their home
papors.
Albion (Mich.) Mirror: When tho
republicans tell you that the tariff
makes things cheaper, ask them if thoy
aro not well enough acquainted with
their own doctrine of protection to
know that tho primary object of the
protection was to hold prices up and
to keep out any competition that
would undersoil American manufac
turers. Georgetown (Ky.) Times: In some
inexplicable way a republican paper
has reached the conclusion that Pier
pont Morgan is fighting President
Roosevelt "because the latter is try
ing to protect the people." There may
bo strained relations between Mr.
Morgan and the president, but tho
question naturally arises, where do the
"people" como in?
Frankfort (Ind.) Standard: Now
will some very intelligent republican
please amble gracefully to "tho front
part of tho meetin' " and tell us why
republican spell-binders don't dilate
learnedly and eloquently on the Fowl
er bill? The people "want to know
you know" all about it No use to
talk about its being dead it is mere
ly taking a cat-nap till after tho elec
tion. Speak up, gentlemen; space for
your answer in tho Standard is at
your service.
Shelby (Neb.) Sun: When the re
publicans toll you that we must main
tain a protective tariff in order to
keep foreign competition from under
selling our, industries remind thom of
tho fact that there is a chapter in
their text-book whoso headline reads
"American Invasion of Europe Tho
United States Competing With Europe
in Their Homo Markets," and that tho
boast is made there that wo can un
dersell tho world. Then remind them
that if we can undersell tho world,
that there is very little danger of
anyone underselling us.
WIthth Paragraph.
Houston Post: A Butte, Mont, edi
tor has fatally shot a physician. Per
haps tho physician didn't take his
paper. Now-1 is the time to subscribe.
Chicago Record-Herald: What a
wonderful hit the producers of some
nerve tonic could make by getting
testimonials from Baer and his fellow-operators.
Pittsburg Dispatch: Of coure, if
Mr. Foraker and Mr. Hanna should
hear of a wicked trust that is really
supported by the tariff, they would
be horrified by the discovery.
Atlanta Journal: It Is being pre
dicted that the New York Sun will be
a democratic newspaper again before
long. And just as we thought every
thing was getting along so well, too.
St Joseph Gazette: The coal com
pany in Colorado has voluntarily in
creased the wages of its employes.
Will Philadelphia and Reading papers
please copy for the benefit of George
F. Baer?
Buffalo Times: Sir' Thomas Lipton
will find American yachtsmen as anx
ious and ready to defend the Ameri
ca's cup as ever before; he will also
find them with the fastest boat and the
best sailors.
'
Sioux City Journal: Jim Younger's
sweetheart Bays her life work will be
"to place him right before the public."
As tho lady is said to be pretty handy
with tho typewriter, the public may
as well prepare for a ne"w book.
Joplln Globe: The coal barons and
the newspapers in sympathy with them
make a great deal of stir about a
few isolated cases of violence by min
ers, but they have nothing to say about
the continued and open lawlessness of
the anthracite jcoal roads.
v Boston Herald: There was no
pomp or display at tho funeral of the
late Rear Admiral Selfrldgo, and the
half-masting of the navy yard flags
and the salute of the guns were but in
accordance with naval etiquette. It
was all as he had wished, but it re
mains a fact, nevertheless, that no
name in the navy is more worthy of
distinction than that so honorably and
so numerously borno by the Selfridges.
Houston Post: Tho settlement of
tho strike doosn't mean, however, that
coal will be cheaper fight away, and
It is" doubtful If It will over get back
to its old figure. Tho public will be
-permitted to pay into tho coffers of
"tho coal trust tho cost of tho strike
ten times over.

Just Before the Battle, Hother.
Just before the battle, mother,
I am thinking most of you,
While upon the field we're watching,
With the enemy in view
Comrades bravo are round me lying,
Filled with tho't of home and God;
For well they know that on the mor
row, Some will sleep beneath the sod.
Farewell, mother, you may never.
Press me toyour heart again;
But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother,
If I'm numbered with the slain.
Oh, r long to see you, mother,
And the loving ones at homo;
But I'll never leave our banner
Till in honor I can come.
Tell the traitors all around you
That their cruel words, wo know,
In ov'ry battle kill our soldiers
By the help thoy give tho foe.
Hark! I hear tho bugles sounding,
'Tis the signal for the fight,
Now may God protect us, mother,
As He ever does the right
Hear tho "Battle Cry of Freedom,"
How it swells upon the air,
Oh, yes, we'll rally round the standard
Or we'll perish nobly there.
