Mr. Kern Is winning applause ev erywhere for his ' fine speeches In Georgia, Alabama and In our own State. He is a charming man In conversa tion, very simple and straightforward in his ways, and one of the strongest men at the bar or on the stump In the whole 'country, Mr. ' Andrew Joy ner contributes -to the Raleigh News and Observer long and Interesting ac counts of, Mr. Kern's speeches at dif ferent-points.; Here Is his report, 'In part, tf 'the speech' at the Guilford Battle Ground: Mr. Kern made a speech on the lines of his magnificent argument In Ashevllle yesterday, but lh an entire ly new setting. ; He seemed either to have gained Inspiration from the Bat tle Ground - patriotic - surroundings and from the rural Influence of groves, trees and old-rasnloned farming , en vironments which the splendid city of Ashevllle, and the auditorium yester day failed to , give. ; y ': While in the main, he made, the same Impression today of great -"ability and rugged Integrity that be did yesterday, there was more of the fire Ground, stronger climaxes and more frequent touches of true eloquence. His argument- today was confined almost exclusively to the discussion of the trite subject of trusts and the tariff, but he made these questions as sume, a new light and a greater Im portance by his original illustrations. His reference to Corey, the President of the Steel Trust, who some time ago sent out an interview asking Who Is Kern?" was very fine.. He began by reading a clipping from a paper of to-day, announcing that Mr. Corey, best known In the world as president of the Steel Trust, who had divorced his wife to marry an actress, who had Just returned from Europe With a large retinue of servants and loads of baggage, had given an Inter view urging the election of Taft. No wonder, he said, that Corey, like Thaw, the murderer, Wm. B. Lee, president of the Tin Plate Trust, a suicide, and numberless others of whom "President Roosevelt spoke when he declared that swollen for tunes gained by tariff favors were dangerous alike to the recipients and to the country, should ask such . a question. . Referring to Mr. Taft's criticism of himself, he called attention to the fact- that he had always been ap pointed and never elected to office, and raised a laugh by declaring that no elective office would ever be his, The Republican party, he said, had created a class by saying in Its prac tice and Its platform that manufac turers should be guaranteed by the tariff a profit on their investment, while lawyers, doctors, merchants, preachers, farmers, laborers and sci entists should work for their susten ance and take chances even for a living, the result being that today thousands of business interests were prostrated, while two millions . of honest .workmen were tramping the streets seeking work to escape star vation or crime. Referring to the great power of the trusts built by tariff favors, he asked it Roosevelt, with his Imperial power and Iron will, could not -cope with Cannon, Aldrich and Sherman, what, would become cf Taft fighting this crowd with Roose velt over In Africa shooting lions and playing with monkeys. "Who are you?" ask the tariff bar ons when an honest citizen presumes to call them to account or question their right to exert and to plunder. We," they say, "are the men wno make speakers, dictate platforms, name candidates, nominate Presi dents, make or amend laws prevent ing Imprisonment for our kind of rob bery and threaten panics. Should, you the people, dare question our rights, made divine by liberal contributions to the Republican campaign lunds. "Men of North Carolina, descend ants of Revolutionary sires, your brothers of .the West, Indiana espe cially, have determined that this in famous plundering of the people must cease, and we will give a great ma jority for Bryan and Democracy In November. Another Impressive local reference was this: "I feel strangely at home In this grand Old North State. In every county In my State of Indiana are friends and relatives irom your State, from this very section, and I am making no Idle boast when I say that they are the best citizens that make our splendid State. It Is sweet to realize in this way that we are an children of a common country- bound together by ties of blood and made one bv the common heritage .of pa triotic devotion to right principles of American liberty. I shall never cease to renew the great fight for Justice to you men of the South, which the great Thomas A. -Hendricks, Daniel W. voorhees and McDonald iougut in the davs when it meant political and social ostrlclsm In some sections or the Northwest. (Great applause.) Born myself ln Virginla, the- son of a brave Confederate soldier, reared in Indiana, I claim no distinction for having at eighteen years of age taken un the etumo in-Indiana. lor Democ racy and keeping up the fight through all these years until now I bring you a message of cheer by telling you that this year,, Indiana will give a major ity for the Democratic ticket and the result; wlll.be the election of William J. B'rvan, the - next President Of the United States."- (Great and prolonged applause.) -.... T' ' .-;r'r The - Speaker' then i presented the question of tax for city, county and State necessary- for carrying cn those governments, reminding . the people that the-only tax was the smallest amount of tax necessary to supply the needs. There was no political question in' this local matter, as tn how much money should be taken from the pockets of the people to support their, local government This was also Idea' 6f Jefferson, Jackson and Til den In National affairs. Just enough tax to keep the National government going economically, honestly but splendidly administered in keeping with its rank with other nations 'of the world. - (Applause.) That's the Democratic ea of the tariff, suffi cient revenue to meet the demands of administration. (Great applause.) The Democratic party says take all that Is needed, but touches not a cent beyond it and that's the tariff for revenue only, . (Applause.) ' The Re publican party says take all you can get of. the earnings of the masses and give It to special classes, on the prin ciple that the poorer you make many, the rloher you make a few.. (Ap rjlause.V, In its last analysis, that's , to- Republican-idea And . praotloe. .of a tariff, high to millions, protective to a thousand, - (Great applause) BRYAN, Otf HIS WAY , TO THE WATERWAYS CONVENTION AT CHICAGO, 8TIR3 THE I0WAN8 AGAIN. A press dispatch of Tuesday's date gives the following Inspiriting account of Mr,. Bryan's second trip through Iowa, while passing through "that State to meet his ' engagement to speak at the, Waterways Convention at Chicago to-day:' I present myself as an example of one who has outlived the venomous attacks of his opponents. , You heard me called a' demagogue twelve years ago. You' saw- them bury me and you heard them chant their songs over my grave, and now they have to ex plain why It happened that I was not dead." - With all the fervor that he could muster, William J. Bryan, facing a vast assemblage In the Chautauqua Auditorium,, between Tama and Tole do, Iowa, today delivered himself of this utterance. . At no time during the present campaign has he spoken so earnestly or with such vigor. His remark followed a bitter denuncia tion of Mr. Taft for refusing to agree to a publication of campaign contri butions before election. "No honest man and no political party conduct ing an honest campaign," he declared. need be afraid of the light." At Woodward he heaped ridicule on the Republicans by charging them with taking credit for the growth of crops, the shining of Ihe sun and the bringing of rain. "In fact," he said, "They seize upon anything that they think gives a plausible excuse for voting the Republican ticket." At Maxwell, he compared the grant ing of special privileges to a case ef poison In the human system. "There has been a poison at work in our poli tics," he declared, "and today Its man ifestations are such that I believe the American people are ready to apply the remedy, and that poison Is the poison of privilege, the poison of fa voritism. Our government has been run too largely in the Interest of the favored." Drawing large, cheering crowds all day in the- course of his travels through the State, the Democratic candidate, never In better form, hurled defiance at his opponents, and challenged them to meet his argu ments. Flften speeches and hand-, shaking with thousands constituted his day's work, the concluding speech being made here to-night in the audi torium which was filled to overflow ing. Previously to going to the hall he was serenaded at the hotel, and he addressed an Immense throng from the balcony. The key-note of his re marks here to-night was that Repub lican policies meant disaster, while Democratic policies meant prosperity On this subject he said: 'The Democratio party Is absolutely necessary to .restore prosperity. The Republican party has had its chance and It has failed. We are now In the midst of a depression for which nat ural conditions furnish no excuse. Artificial conditions' are responsible for the present "business-prostration and those artinciat conditions origi nated In Republican policies. The business failures for the nine months ending on September 30 were 11,943 In number, and the liabilities amounted to $179,000,000. It meant that if the assets are worth, in fact, the amount at which they are placed, there will still be a loss of $56,000,000 to account for. "This tremendous loss comes at a time when crops are reasonably good and when nature has not withheld her bounty. It comes when the Republi cans are in complete control. They have a President whom they eulogize in their platform, a Senate completely in the hands of the Republican party and a Republican House of Represen tatives dominated by a despotic Speaker. We can assume, therefore, that they have done everything they could do consistently under their poli cies to prevent a panic, and yet the panic is here. It comes, too, when we have a tariff so high that even the Republicans promise unequivocally to revise It Immediately, and Mr. Taft has ventured the opinion that the re vision will probably be downward. What does it promise to do for trie protection of the public? What poli cies has it that look to a restoration of prosperity? "In fact the failures of the last nine months exceed In number the failures of the corresponding nine months of 1893 and the difference be tween a par and liabilities is greater this year than it was in 1893 aitnougn the total amount of liabilities was greater in 1893 than this year. But it must be remembered that the Mc Klnley law was still In force in 1893. It was in force until the summer of 1894. The Wilson bill was not passed until the summer of 1894. The fail ures of that year were not as great, either In number or in the amount of liabilities as they are this Year. The failures of 1895 were not as great In amount of the total liabilities as they are this year. The failures in 1896 were not equal to the failures of this year in number or in amount of lia bilities, and yet In 1896 the Republi cans were talking about - a Demo cratic panic and promising prosper ity. -. . - - - . ' "A member of 'the British cabinet said recently in a speech that the ex ports, of cotton goods from lancashlre had increased eleven per cent over last .year, and he declared that the -cotton exports of 'the United States had fallen off lorty-nve per cent m the same perlodif this is true, how will the protectionists explain it "The Republican party cannot es cape from Its' record. It Is Important to orotect the public because Ha poli cies have for their object not the ad vancement of the general welfare but the enrichment or a relatively small number of the people at the expense of the rest of the people. If we are to have prosperity, we must restore Independence In Industry. The Re- nublican oartv does not promise this, On the contrary, it pledges Itself to a continuation of the policies under which trusts have grown and fattened at the expense of the public .' "The Democratic party does prom ise to prevent the creation of private monopolies.- To have prosperity we must have ' harmonious . cooperation between labor and capital. The Re publican party does not promise wis, On the contrary it promises to con tinue the policies which estranged labor and capital, and have made la bor troubles acute. The Democratic oartv promises Justice between labor and capital and a restoration of peaee and friendship between employer ana employe.. ' . ' , -' " "To have prosperity we must pro toot the depositors and thus lnduoe them to take their money out of hid lug tad restore-U-W 4ie -oiannela.01 trader The Republican party does not promise protection or deposits, The Democratic party doea. . The Democratic party promises legisla tion which will insure depositors. The man who puts his money in a bank must know that he can withdraw it at any time, and this security would be given by the banks, because the banks make their money out of their depositors. If we are going to have prosperity we must have a reduction of the tariff. The people recognise the tariff Is extortionate.. - Even the Republican leaders are -forced to ad mit this, and yet they are deliberately planning to prevent any real revision by electing a stand-pat ' Congress, while the Republican candidate is talking about revision, without giving any assurance that revision will mean a material reduction. If the Republi can party wins, It will not revise the tariff in the Interest of consumer and that means that the present agitation must continue for four years longer. -' "Do. the ousiness men want busi ness unsettled? Do the business men want an extension of this - agitation f Do they want business to be. unsettled by four years of discussion over tariff rates? If the Democratic party wins there will be an immediate reduction of the tariff which will satisfy the public demand and remove the tariff question from politics for a number of years. A Democratic victory means prosperity, prosperity to all the peo ple, a prosperity that will be perma nent, it means the remedying of abuses; until abuses are remedied there can be no peace and the sooner abuses are remedied, the more easily can the remedy be applied." THE "PRACTICAL" ROOSEVELT WHO WISHED TO CONCEAL HARRIMAN'8 RELATIONS TO HIM UNTIL AFTER THE ELEC TION OF 1904, 18 THE SAME R008EVELT WHO FAVORS PUB LICITY OF THIS CAMPAIGN'8 CONTRIBUTIONS ONLY AFTER THE ELECTION OF 1908. Norfolk Virginian. Roosevelt Is opposed to publicity of campaign contributions before elec tion probably for the same reason that he was doubtful about the "prac tical" wisdom of Harriman visiting him at the White House in 1904, when negotiations for the raising of that quarter-million-dollar corruption fund were being conducted. Then he did not think It would contribute to party success to have the voters of the country know of the relations be tween himself and the railroad manip ulator until after their ballots bad been cast. For the same reason he now does not wish those self-same voters to know who are financing the Republican campaign until after the election Is over and knowledge can In no wise affect the result. The Roosevelt of 1998 Is no less "practi cal" than the Roosevelt of 1904. Are the suffragans of these United States no less gullible? BRYAN AND TAFT AT THE SAME TABLE. Our dispatches have recorded the entertainment of the two presidential candidates at the banquet of the Chi cago Association of Commerce, night before last. It will be enteresting to compare the speeches made by them. Mr. Bryan (who, the associated press dispatch says, was "cheered to the echo as he rose to speak") said In part: Mr. Bryan's Speech. "I think it Is a good omen when we can lay aside partisan feeling oa an occasion like this, and, forgetting the -things that separate us, remember the things that . are more numerous and more Important that unite us in the bonds of common citizenship. I think I can see signs of progress In politics, When I first began to run for Presi dent there were no occasions of this kind. I think I note a larger charity, a broader liberality, and a more kindly feeling than has sometimes prevailed in the past. , I am glad to meet at this board one wno has been honored by his party with . leadership in a great campaign, I am glad to testify to my apprecia tion of his abilities and his virtues. It I am successful, the victory will be the greater to have won from such, and If I am defeated, the sorrow will be less to have been defeated by such. "I am honored to be the guest of a commercial association, for 1 recog nize the Importance of commerce. Commerce is the second step in ma terial progress. First comes produc tion and then exchange. Without ex change, production loses most of Its value. Those who produce need com merce, and commerce cannot last without production. Inventions Increase Demand. "Whenever an invention of import ance has been heralded some are ready to exclaim that It will deprive somebody of employment, and some times the labor-saving machine Is condemned because it enables a few to do what it required many to do in the same length of time, but the labor- saving machine Is rather a labor mul tiplying machine. Wherrteam dis placed the craft that moved by oars It did not decrease tne numoer oi those noon the sea. It multiplied the number of those upon the sea. Every new invention has enlarged the de mand for labor as it has multiplied the efficiency of Ubor. I am not pre pared to say that we have yet recog nized the duly that sosietv owes tc bear soiiie of the burdens that n.a fall temporarily on, people displaced bv Improvements thet bring a larg gain to society. But whether we have found an accurate adjustment or not, there is no doubt that society , has largely sained by one of the -great inventions that has made largely for the enlargement of commerce,; that is the corporate entity. : "The corporation , is a step in ad vance. It enables people to do to gether what people could not do alono, But with every new step in advance, responpiblltles come. ' And so. society, accenting the corporation as un . s- tabllshed fact, Is proceeding to en act, such laws as may be necessary to make the corporations serve the ournose for which they were created and t am sure tha the monibers of the association recognise that with the larger . power that corporate aotipn gives, restriction is necessary. Thero Is a difference between the corporate man and the natural man. God made man and placed him on his footstool to carry out a divine decree, ma: made the corporation tor a -material purpose. . When God made man he set a limit to his existence, so that if he was a bad man he could not be bad long, but when the. corporation was created the-ltm it-wm--waB-raisea; and it sometimes - projects Itself through generation utter feneration, Corporations Have no 8ouls. When God made man He gave to mankind a soul and warned him that In the next world he would be held accountable for the deeds done In the flesn; but when man created the cor poration he could not endow that cor poration with a soul, so that if it es capes punishment here it need not rear hereafter. And- the man-made giant has been put forth to compete with the God-made man. I take It, then, that I can assume that-all will recognize the necessity of making competition between the natural man and fictitious person sufficiently equal mat tne natural man may not be trod den under foot. "To my mind, the world's great problem to-day is not to solve correct ly the questions about which my dis tinguished friend and I dispute; these are surface indications- of a larger problem. That problem Is the adjust ment of the rewards of society. Is here a measure of reward? I be lieve there is. What Is that measure? It Is the divine measure; it is thi law that God stamped upon the world, And this law Is that nvcry citizen shall draw from society a reward pro portionate to the service that he ren ders to society." Mr. Taft's Speech. The associated press reports Mr. Taft's speech as follows: What I wish to call your attention to to-night is the delays and conse quent Inequalities tn the administra tion of justice in controversies be tween private persons. All our insti tutions are now being subjected to close scrutiny with a view to provid ing that some of them should be radi cally changed. The chief attack Is on the Institution of private property, and Is based upon the Inequalities in the distribution of wealth and of human happiness, that are apparent in on -systems. It Is not inconsistent with the rights of private property to Impose limitations upon Its use for unlawf;il purposes, and this is tho reform need ed, rather than the a'oliiion of the institution t?elf. An "'vil which is lkely to grow In importance Is the In inequallty between the poor and rich, growing out of the delays iu the ad ministration of justice between indi viduals. "A defect of our system is soon in the unequal burden v,-h:ch the dela-3 and expenses of litigation Imposes on the poor li.igant. The reform must be reached through the improvement In our judicial procedure. Our codes are generaly too elaborate. "A ttudy of the English system, which consists of a few general prin ciples laid down In a practice act, sup plemented by rules or court, nai worked with great benefit to the lit igant and has given much more expe dition. I believe a similar system could be adopted in this country with great benefit. Too Many Long opinions. Another reason for dela' in tlw lower courts is the disposition of tin judge to write long opinions. It is of almost, as much importance that the couVt of first instance decide promptly aay that it should decide right. If jndtses had to do so they would be came muc'. Jicre attentive to the ar gument di.ag its presentation and mufh more likely on the whole to decide right when the evidence and argument were fresh In their minds 'Anbther defect in our judicial sys tem is giving to defeated litigants two appeals. So far as the litigant is con cerned one appeal is all tnat ne snouin be entitled to. The function of the court of last resort should be to lay general principles of law for the bene fit and guidance or the community at large. The great body or the litiga tion Bhould be finally disposed of in the courts of first instance or the in termediate appellate courts of first instance and it is better that the cases all be decided if they are wrongfully decided. Again there has been mani fested in our appellate courts too ereat a disposition to reverse cases for error in the trial below. Poor at Disadvantage. 'The Inevitable effect of the delays incident to the machinery now re quired in a settlement of controver sies in judicial tribunals Is to put at a disadvantage the poor litigant and to give great advantage to his wealthy op ponent. I think a step In the direction of the dispatch of litigation might be taken In requiring higher qualifica tions for those judges that sit in cases involving a small pecuniary amount Another method or getting rid or a great deal of litigation, litigation that continues a great deal or time and consumes a large part of the atten tion of the courts, could be effected by the introduction of a system for the settlement of damage suits by all employes against employers through official arbitration and without resort to jury trials. Such a system is work ing well in England, as I am inform ed. Reduce Costs and Fees. "Again, . I believe a great reform might be effectedr especially in the Federal courts, and I believe, too, In the State courts, by a mandatory re duction - of the court costs and fees. The salaries of the court officers should be fixed and should be paid out of the treasury of the county. State or national government, as the case jnay be,-and fees should tie re duced to as low a figure as possible consistent with the reasonable dis couragement of groundless and unnec essary litigation. STICKS BY HIS MASTER. Springfield Republican. - . Mr. Bryan's challenge to Mr. Tart to Indorse the President's argument aealnBt publicity for campaign sub scriptions before election is promptly met. Mr. Taft does endorse it. The Republicans are now committed to the principle that while publicity after election is most excellent for public morals and civic virtue, publicity be fore election is pure demagogy and an unmixed evil in a government of, for and by the people. If Mr. Taft can gain votes by argumg along that line tor the rest of the campaign, it will be surprising. He stands by Mr. Roosevelt's controversial sophistries with almost pathetic devotion.

Mr. Bryan, in his speech before the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Waterway Conven tion at Chicago, on Thursday, showed the catholicity of his vision in this as In all other matters with which be concerns himself. He was not tempt ed, as he might have been, by the ovation which the delegates to that great convention accorded him, to flat ter them at the expense of the other wa terways Interests of the country; but Included all the deserving projects 'n the broad and patriotic sweep of his advocacy of the principle of waterway Improvement In all the riparian States or sections. It will be recalled, In this connection, that, at the conclusion of his speech In Fayetteville, just a year ago, he spoke In warm praise of our own Upper Cape Fear scheme. His speech, In part, was: God Made tlje Rivers: Man Made Rail roads. You can not give the people too good facilities for the transportation of their merchandise. If you tell me ou want to improve the Mississippi, tell you that is all right. I will help you Improve It Just as far as you please, and make the canal as wide as you please and as deep as you please; and when you get to Improv ing the Mississippi I will start out all alone, if neccessary, to improve every river tnat empties Into the Misslssppi. Water transportation is the natural transportation. 'God made the rivers; man made the railroads. When you finish a river sufficiently deep for commerce, or a canal upon which boats can float, you make it possible for a man with small capital to act while the railroads make it possible for men with large capital to act. Where there is a river any man who can build a boat can engage in trans portation, and If he can not. build a big boat he can build a little boat, and ir you have a large number of lit tle boats the big boat will have to meet the rate that the little boat fixes. You will find it much easier to regulate rates on water than on land, because competition can be much more active on water than on land. The time has come when the land available for homesteads Is being well taken up, and when these lands are occupied then, Instead of sending peo ple into new fields to lay out new States, we must begin to take smaller sections and develop the land more thoroughly, and with that will come a pressing need for better transporta tion. We are an exporting nation. we are an exporting nation. We send our agricultural products to for eign markets, and when our wheat or our cotton reaches the London mar kets its price is fixed there by the competition which It meets. If a bushel of wheat sells for a dollar In London It takes fifty cents togetltfrom the farm to London, tho farmer rets fifty cents a bushel for his wheat. If you can so Improve transportation that the farmer can ret his wheat from his farm to Liverpool for twen- y-flve cents you have added twenty- five cents to the farmer's price for his wheat. It Is a fact that It Is ad mitted that the railroads can not car ry freight as cheaply as the boat can, and therefore every farmer is interest ed in establishing water communica- on wherever water communication is possible. Believes in Improved Waterways. "I believe in improving the water ways everywhere, no matter whether hese waterways are rivrs that run run down the mountainsides into the ocean and the wet or the waterways that converge 1n ,v? Missis: : pi Val ley and carry he::- no. i to ;he Gulf. believe that it is the duty of those charged with the business of govern ment to develop these things upon which a nation s property depends. If the work should be done, and I believe that it Bhould, then you peo ple who believe it should be done should agree upon the best methods by which to do it. But I repeat that you must not be frightened because "t may require an investment. At St Lows last fall they resolved that $500,- 000,000 spent in Improving the water ways of the Mississippi Valley would bring an interest in the way of de creased cost of transportation amount- ng to J180.000.000 a year. Why un friends, if It only saves $50,000,000 a year It would be a 10 per cent, inter est on the Investment. I believe that the plan should be commenced now. I believe that It should be a comprehensive plant, that It should deal with the entire subject and that It should be a permanent plan; that we should begin now to lay the foundation for the future great ness of this country In the develop ment of these natural resources, these uod-glven water courses of ours. WATTERSON SEES REPRODUC TION OF EVIL CONDITIONS OF FIFTY YEARS AGO AND THE EXIT MAY BE THE SIGNAL FOR CIVIL WAR IN THIS COUNTRY. Henry Watterson was the principal speaker at a Democratic rally In Louis ville last- week. As this was Mr. Wat terson's first political speech since 1892. and will probably be his only platform utterance -during the pres ent campaign, much interest was man ifested. He said In part: "I truly rejoice that I have lived to look upon a reunited Democracy. I was born in a Democratic camp during what proved a bad year for the Dem ocrats, and attained my majority just in time to see the party go over the precipice of sectionalism to what seemed to be its ruin. "The politicians tell us there are many issues, but I see only one. If we can not change our rulers at will, If an organized and defiant minority , In side a fortress can withstand the selge of an undisciplined and ill-equipped majority on the outside, how shall talk about trusts, and tariffs, about re bates and bank deposits, about money and morals, and stocks and bonds profit us? Republican Party Corrupt - "I behold now an almost reproduc tion of . the evil conditions of fifty years ago. The Republican party, grown corrupt and arrogant, is put ting forth a tremendous effort to re tain the power which it has so much abused. If it succeeds it will never surrender it short of some dire cata clysm, making Its exit the signal for. it may be, a civil war. To that all its policies of militarism', favoritism and class distinction have long been tend ing. I pray God that this may. never come. The way to avert it is by oc casional . change of party, bringing home to your public men their Bubog amatioH'td1 taa "teopier "If I were ft Republican 1 should vote Bryan. If I were a Republican I' should' tell the Big' Chief with his big stick' go hang. If I were a Re publican I - should turn my back on candidate, no -matter how personal ly acceptable, who represents the vi cious methods of ring rule, and, the steam roller. Whatever usefulness the Republi can party possessed, It has for the time outlived. It stands -today a men ace to equal taxation and economic ad ministration, If not to orderly govern ment and free Institutions. Its lead ers know this,- and knowing it, they began early to prepare for the coming Presidential battle; to fortify a field which they thought to make impreg nable by the outlay of vast resources and engineering skill, G. O. P. Thows Aside Decency. "They expected to draw us Into this bloody ambuscade and to slaugh ter us like- sheep In the shambles Disappointed in that plan, what do we now see? We see all disguise of decency thrown aside; the black flag of trustlsm run up to the mast-head; the decks crowded with corporation counsel. The occupant of the White House summons the unspeakable Hearst as his star witness. The hon est rich are Invoked to make common cause with the lawless rich. All the perspective of truth and soberness and common sense are lost amid the roar of rant and cant of self-glorifying laudation and self accusing promises of reform, with Aldrich and Cannon with Payne and Dalzell, and Sunny Jim Sherman for their examples. "Having pitched the campaign on a false note, starting out with a man of straw on a platform of Imposture, no argument Is too absurd, no illustra tion Is too rank for the man and the Interests that do not mean to be dislodged If fraud and force can save them.' Referring to a reported speech of Congressman Longworth at Rock Is land, 111., where it was alleged that Mr. Longworth spoke of President Roosevelt as successor to Taft as President eight years hence, Mr. Wat terson said: Believes NiclySaid It. Nicholas Longworth, the Presi dents son-in-law, says he did not say it. But five thousand listeners say he did. The notes of two stenographers say he did. What boots it whether he did or did not. No one who knows what is going on in the national capital and has been going on for a long time, needs to be told that they are under mining the popular foundation of our Democratic government and convert ing It Into an imperial republic, with nothing wanting of monarchism and titular nobility except the nomencla ture. "The White House is already the palace of a king. The President Is al ready a sovereign in everything ex cept the name. Why should not a member of the court circle blurt out that Taft is expected merely to hold down the job for Roosevelt, since it was thought premature to run Roose velt for the immediate succession? 'The campaign was and it is, a family affair. If the machine which nominated Taft was so .merciless to ward the Republican allies who dared to resist it, why should it be counted on to share our free institutions after eight additional years of moneyed ac cretion and augmented power. Only this can account for the personal in terposition of the President, who throws duty and dignity to the winds and gets down like a matador into the bull-ring, mud-stained and powder- smirched, swearing like a trooper at all who come both Into the sound of his voice and the reach of his inflamed fancy.' Death of Henry Parker. From Friday's Daily. Poor old Henry Parker is dead. Ho died last night in the hospital ward of the jail, where he has been confine! for several weeks awaiting trial at the Federal court, charged with sell- ng whiskey. He was stricken with paralysis some time ago, and has sinue been gradually getting worse. Henry had spent more time In jail than anyone else In the history of the county, In fact for several years past It has practically been his home. With his faults, drunkenness and whisky selling, he was otherwise In offensive. He was always treated kindly by the jail officials and was al lowed many liberties. Henry leaves a house and sixty-five acres of good land on Center Plank Road at Beaver Creek bridge. Taft's Southern tour is announced. It includes Grensboro on the 17th. He will go tc Washington to hold a conference with the President on thu following Sunday. Then after speak ing In New Jersey cities and Balti more he will go West. DELICIOUS BANANA CREAM.
