Lincoln (Neb.) Post-Democrat: The
polygamist3 of our Philippine annex,
Including the sultan of S'ulu, are doubt
less highly interested in the disclos
ures regarding polygamy in Utah, as
"brought out in the Smoot investigation.
Tarkio (Mo.) Independent: For the
first time in the history of our grand
old state our people ar witnessing the
sale of our senatorships to the high
est bidder, The railroad corporations
tho the buyers and will walk off with
the plum. This is the republican no
tion of reform and redeeming Missouri.
Clearfield uJa.) Republican: Even
tho Republicans now admit that there
is such a word as deficit In tho'vocab
ulary. r
Hastings (Mich.) Journal: Thomas
W. .Lawson puit his foot down on a
whole lino of Wall streets fancy stocks
and tho water spurted but of them clear
across tho continent.
Kearney (Neb.) New Br.a-Standard:
In his message the president recom
mends the retirement of the green
backs and tho redemption of the sliver
dollar in gold. How does the populist
who voted for Roosevelt like that?
Coshocton (O.) Standard: Secretary
Taft is urging the Panamian3, as ho
has urged the Filipinos to "read the
Bible more." 'probably he explains
to them the new reading of the text,
"Thou shalt not steal except in the in
terest of collective civilization."
Columbia (Mo.) Statesman: The
scramble of Missouri Republicans .for
the seat in the senate to be vacated by
Senator Cockrell bids-fair to rival in
Intensity the annual struggle between
the Tigers and the "Jayhawkers" in
Kansas City on Thanksgiving day.
Rockwell (Ind.) Tribune: Hon. Dan
iel McDonald will be the only Demo
crat in the Legislature from thirty
counties in the northwest part of the
state. Well, he is every inch a Demo
crat. It is better to have one like him
than 100 of the "safe and sane" gen
try. Hardy (Ark.) Herald: Dressed beef
i3 high, but cattle are low. Dressed
meat is high, but hogs are low. Cotton
goods are high, but cotton is low. Lum
ber is high, but timber is low. How
does this look to the farmer. Who
gets the good profit; the producer, or
the manufacturer?
Bellefonte (Pa.) Democratic Watch
m'an: If the ten dollar Congressmen,
who .are, now clamoring for a ten thous
and dollar salary, would only be willing
to take for their services what they
are worth to the country, there would
be no great depletion of the treasury
after paying full price for everything
done.
Plattsmouth (Nveb.) Journal: When
Cleveland's message received the ap
proval -of tho newspapers of London,
Paris and Berlin, it caused great in
dignation on the part of republicans,
who intimated that there was alto
gether too much affiliation between the
President and European monarchs. Do
we remember what was said about
Bayard? But times have changed.
Woodsfield (O.) Spirit of Democracy:
A pet phrase of the standpatters is,
that a high tariff "gives employment to
labor." So it does; and laborers are
coming from Europe as never before
to secure that employment. But this is
only half of the story. The money to
employ this labor is taken from la
borers who have already earned it; and,
besides, the lion's share of it sticks to
the hands of the trust magnates.
Newton (la.) Herald: The democ
racy must listen again to the masses,
and, like tho Chicago convention in
1896, the people must over-ride the
plutocratic element and come out bold
ly for reform. It must nominate, a
candidate who is a platform in himself
and one who cares more for principles
than for spoils. It may not win, but
it is infinitely better to go down to
defeat deserving success than to securn
I a victory while deserving defeat. -
Winfield (Ka3.), Tribune: "A deficit
of $36,000,000" exclaims Speaker Can
non. The public is now interested in
knowing whether the cheese-paring
Which the president calls for will cut
off those appropriations which the peo
ple really need, or whether it will re
duce the grand army and navy scheme.
The president knows perfectly well that
nobody demands "complete disarma
ment." But the imperialist enthusiasts
might be content with a more modest
programme than the launching of a
new battleship every wofik and a new
cruiser on every working day in L
year.
Hastings (Neb.) Democrat: The tar
iff, if changed, at all, must be changed
by the friends of protection. The rail
road question must be settled by the
railroads. The money question will be
settled by the banks. Insurance super
vision of billions of people's money,
must be supervised by insurance com
panies. And so on. At the present
time, that appears to be the program,
if one can rely upon what leading men
and papers say. The railroad question
.3 by far the most important one that
the American' people have to deal with
at the present time and it will hardly
be settled right by the Paul Mortons.
Eureka (Ills.) Democrat-Journal:
While President Roosevelt opens his
message with the words "The nation
continues to enjoy noteworthy pros?
perity," Dr. Hirsch, the eminent Rabbi
of Chicago, commenting on the estimate
in Robert Hunter's book, "Poverty,"
that ten million of the American -people
are in want, tells us that "Mr. Hun
ter's statement is not surprising to one
who has studied the economic condi
tions of this country." Has President
Roosevelt really studied "the economic
conditions of this country?" or does
he mean by "tho nation" only the rich
people who shape policies to suit
themselves?
Eureka (Ills.) Democrat-Journal:
Now that the election has been held,
the people who fondly believed that the
talk of the Republican leaders about
tariff revision meant something find
themselves fooled again. It is reported
that a poll of the members of Con
gress shows three to ono opposed to
tariff revision. The jtariff turns a bil
lion dollars of excessive profits into
the purses of American "protected in
dustries" every year, and no small
part of Congress, especially of the
Senate, is composed "of their direct ran-
resentatives or beneficiaries. They will
stay there just so long as a tariff-ridden
people continue to be fooled into
voting for them.
Smith Center (Kas.) Messenger:
The demonitization of silver was sim
ply a scheme of the old parties to de
stroy the legal qualities of one "half
the ability of the people to pay their
debts. It is as jf you had agreed to
pay a certain debt in a hundred acres,
of corn and a hundred acres of wheat
and your beloyed law makers had
killed entirely, the wheat part of the
contract as a debt paying power.
Would that make the demand for corn
double and practically kill wheat or
not? And would you suspect that your
representatives and senators voted for
the corn owners (Rothschilds) doubling
their value and correspondingly de
creasing the people's wheatwould you
suspect that these representatives did
tnat purely because they loved the corn
owners?

Chicago, III.
thi3 state no millionaires tried to break
into the United States Senate from
Missouri. But liere comes along a re
publican legislature, and the only can
didates with any show whatever of
election are millionaires and represent
atives of big corporations. Kerens,
Niedringhaus and Parker have crowded
all other would-be candidates to the
rear. Kerens is a millionaire rep
resenting great railroad interests and
does all of his traveling around in a
palatial palace car. Niedringhaus is
another millionaire and president of
the National Enameling and Stamping
company, a powerful trust which lias
absorbed about all of the smaller con
cerns of the kind in the country. Par
ker is general attorney of the Frisco
railway system. With the candidacy
of these men comes the talk of boodle
and the purchase of the senatorship.
Jefferson City (Mo.) Democrat: In
his message to Congress, President
Roosevelt recommends a plan for "bet
tering" the currency system. What?
Better the currency system? How can
you better the gold standard, which the
G. O. P. spellbinders have so long be
lauded as of divine origin? What
things we see when we haven't got a
gun. If Mr. Roosevelt would say this
during some campaign wouldn't it bo
fine, -though? But. no! When the
people are considering the matter oC
electing officers to administer the gov
ernment, the republican candidates
wisely refrain from participating m
any discussion that might tend to em
barass the "party." When a democrat
says anything about the currency, when
ho even presumes to say that the gom
standard is not a perfect monetary sys
tem, the powers at Washington semi
forth the ukase and that he is to he
denounced as a maniac, while in tno
distance is heard the deep basso i pro
fuhdo of the trusts-stand pat! Now
is the time'for Lie people to open their
eyes for the next campaign.
