THE COMMONER. Lincoln, Neb Senator Beveridge has hauled "manifest des tiny" out again. N ' : ' "It is auite evident that Mr. Taft did not do his Cuban campaigning in a hammock.

And you can not -.simplify the spelling nor the meaning of that very expres sive word. The beard of the republican candidate for governor of New York'ls aforceful reminder that populists are not the only ones who wear 'em that way. -aM1 r, tx ,. ., . wv.wu.wi flovcuuBo says it was a Diuncier to haul down our flag in Cuba. Is the, senator ad mitting that the keeping of a republican pledge is always a blunder? "What's he running for?" queried Speaker Camion when Samuel Gompers was mentioned. Mr, Gompers isn't running, Mr. Speaker. He is coming to meet you. Secretary Shaw, while a tariff "standpatter " s and must be very agile on his feet, else his own logic would smite him. As it is it keeps him dodging at a rapid rate. The war department's report that there is no hazing at West Point does not prove that .there is no hazing. It merely proves that the war de partment doesn't know. Convict Stensland will be put to work mak ing brooms.

SPECIAL OFFER Speaker Cannon, would have us understand that President Roosevelt needs standing by, and proposes having the people elect such eminent supporters as Foraker, Dick, Aldrich, et al,-,to do it . t . The Globe-Democrat of St. Louis has resumed its regular task of trying to .. make Its readers believe that a heavy protective .tariff will in crease' thegrowth of "wool on the backs of hydrau lic rams. .' , Sir Oliver Lodge says the sun w,ill be cold in twenty million years. The friends of the tariff, will have to accelerate their speed if. they, get the tariff revised before the chill strikes them. Bishop Berry declares that the primary or caucus comes first and the prayer meeting second' in the line of duties of a churchman. The clergy is growing wise on the question of clean civil government. Several sections of the civilized world have long since been taught .to respect the soldier or marine wearing the uniform of this republic. It should not bo difficult to teach the owner of an Atlantic coast resort the same lesson. One or two New . York democratic offlcehplck ers who declare they will "take off their tfoats " and,,work for Hughes" would do well t take off their coats and, work a litM. in. ration for the t-zjt.icL'1Su.yc:'is are paying thorn. The centenniaV.pf the discovery of Pike's Peak was celebrated recently. The genial dis coverer who said:'the peak could not be climbed was highly eulogized by thousands of people who rode to the top in comfortable cars. -.'The' report that the abolition of football has caused a big decrease in the enrollment of stu dents at the university of Wisconsin may not be well founded. Perhaps it has resulted only in a decrease of the enrollment of attendants. The president of a. Middleport, Ohio, bank is missing. So is a little bunch of money amounting to $115,000. The bank examiners are greatly sur prised, and the directors are absolutely dumb founded. In the meanwhile the depositors foot the bill. The postoffice is about to abolish the plan of "backstamping." This means that husbands who carry for weeks the letters their wives give them to mail need have no fear of being detected if they only manage to mail them before their wives have to repair their pockets. The eminent gentlemen who were so stren uously defending "national honor" in 1896- and have not been exposed yet, are likely to beWery careful about defending the "honor of -the- Em pire state." The people have grown suspicious of the men who prate so loudly about "defending honor," J. B. Liston, Carlinville, 111.

Young, Downs, Kan.-Find enclosed check for $15.60, for which you will' please send The Commoner to the enclosed list of twenty-six names, and in this list there are some of our good "standpatters."
