In a recent speech Mr. Bryan de
clared that Senator La Follette was
a better republican than either Mr.
Roosevelt or Mr. Taft and expressed
regret that the Wisconsin senator was
not to be nominated for the presi

said that If he were to be' defeated
again he would feel better If he could
know that he waa beaten to the White
House by a man like La Follette, who
agreed with him in plans for waging
unceasing warfare against predatory
wealth.

Boston Advertiser.
Senator Piatt wipes the tears of mem
ory from his eye's as the day approaches
for the razing of tho-historic Fifth avenue
hotel In New York, and the disappearance
of the Amen Corner. The spot is full of
memories for the politician. Here It was
that Rev. Mr. llurchard made his nddross
for the clergymen who had called on Blaine.
Saya the aged senator: "I heard him utter
the famous words, 'Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion," but J attached no Importance
to them. Nobody else noticed them or
read Into the phrase any significance.
It was not until tho next day that we
woke up to what It meant and was going
to mean, and then It was too late. The
harm was done."

1!17 the Imperial government contemplates
an average annual outlay of $105,000,000 for
the navy. -In the last five years the Im
perial budget has been Increased more
than J96.OO0.0OO, and In ten years past the
imperial debt has grown from foO.000.000 to
over 11,000,000,000. These figures clearly
show the reasons for Germany's financial
straits and are absolutely barren of com
fort for German taxpayers. For the pre
sent the latter are consoled with the state
ment that tho per capita tax in Germany
Is only 2.50. as compared with $3.60 In
Great Britain and Italy, and over $t In
France. But with a ten-year naval pro
gram calling for $106,000,000 a year," and
corresponding Increases In other directions,
the disparity In Germany's tax rate will
rapidly disappear. ,
The recent bye-election "in the Peckham
district of Ixndon, In which a former lib
eral majority of 2,000 was turned Into a
tory victory of 2,500, was not the Ideal ex
pression of public sentiment asserted by
Its beneficiaries. It turns out to have
been a sordid expression of the political
power of the brewing Interests of the
kingdom, directed at the pending license
bill Introduced by the ministry. Kor many
years past licenses have been Issued an
nually to owners or tenants of certain
premises, the object being to restrict the
traffic. The premises thus selected soon
acquired an Increased value and took on
tho nature of a property right. This
value Increased as the brewing interests
secured control of them, and later became
part of the assets of the brewing com
panies, being capitalized aa real property.
In li4 tho Balfour ministry, In restricting
the liquor traffic, collided the property
light in licenses then extinguished and
agreed to compensation. Thus handi
capped, the liberal ministry wgs obliged
to provide compensation. But the pending
tll goes farther. It greatly Increases the
rate of extinguishment of licenses, and
embodies the vital principle of the ultimate
reversion of all licenses to the state after
fourteen years. The Peckham election. It
Is thought, will raise this limit to twenty
years. But as the fund for compensation
Is taxed against the remaining license hold
ers, the ' term of years Is unimportant.
Drinkers pay tho price. The result of the
Peckham election was a direct alam at the
liberal ministry for its activity In pressing
the restriction and extinguishment of liquor
licenses as a property right.
