\in»thor Jolt. While the Republican press has 1m-. n attempting to show that Bryan is a p .pulist, holding that ho had faxured the Initiative and referenduiu, and de.daring that he is an unsafo man on that account, Maine, a ro -ribbed Republican state, by a vote of two to one, lias adopted that law by constitutional amendment. As a matter of fact Mr. Bryan is not pi. sine th 1 issue now, and the Republiean party is far from the facts in trying to make it a political issue. Hut those same Republican papers must have felt the “jolt” from Maine. The people In the Boss-rid-den east are waking up. The people can’t get rid of Aldrich and his like because the party machine is too powerful. But they are getting ready to do away with machines once for all, and the new law In Maine is the hand-writing on the wall for Aldrich. Again it is proved that the Republican leaders are fighting the current of public opinion. They are against the tide. They do not wish the people to rule. ** Mr. Lane’s Case. The offer of Mr. Oscar Lane, Republican candidate for representative, to withdraw from the field and leave it clear for Mr. Hostetter, Democratic .candidate for re-election, in Vistetter would vote for ' option, is being rather dered over the state, es are assigned to Mr ng the offer, and there bro inclined to believe x " Is a matter of bribery und^- ^ ’tute. Knowing Mr. Lan.-; we are confident that (lie i o c ^ ^behind the offer was a d' e . ^ jii what In' believed to be temperanre legislation. We believe that Mr. Lane was perfectly horn | in the oiTer, though we are not so si.a' o, r < the motives behind the leader 'y, ms party who council- ‘ d with hi < at the time. So far as Mr. Lano hM"S‘ if is concerned any bribery thni was technical and not intei 'io^'e- it was an offer prompted by- rho man’s enthusiasm for the question then at issue. On the other band the Integrity of Mr. Hostetter is more firmly established by llie incident. His reply to the offer that “he wished no reward for <! .. uniat he believed right,” made in a .me of political stress, shows i alilier of flic man. Wo are eon fldent that neither Mr. Lano nor Mr. Hostetter saw anything evil in the offer made and refused.

Whore Bullets Flew. David i’arker, of Fayette, N. Y.. a veteran of Hie civil war, who lost a foot at Gettysburg, says; “The good Electric Bitters have done is worth more than five hundred dollars to me. I spent much money doctoring for a bad case of stomach trouble, to little purpose. I then tried Electric Bitters, and they cured me. I now take them as a tonic, and they keep nio strong and well.” BOe at the Owl Drug Store

The Cabinet in the Campaign. Apparently the president’s cabinet lias been converted for the time being into an auxiliary Republican anipaign committee. When Mr. Roosevelt wrote his reply to Mr. Bryan’s first communication the 1 Washington dispatches told how the j iraft of it was laid before a cabinet meeting and there formally considered, with all the ceremony and seriousness usually given to matters of | state. Suggestions were made by ! various cabinet ministers and finally the paper was approved and Issued, j Sinoe then the cabinet has debated whether the president should an- , swer the statement of Governor Has- i kell, with a negative decision. It has considered whether the president 1 should respond to Mr. Bryan's re- ' joinder, deciding the question affirm- ; atively. Having drawn up a tentative reply to Mr. Bryan—before Mr. Bryan had even written the letter of Saturday—the president, according j to the dispatches, laid it before the cabinet. And so not only the president i himself, but his cabinet, drop gov- j eminent matters and get into the po- j lltical arena in the interest of the Republican candidate for president. The government departments become political machines. The Indelicacy of the conduct—In fact, the irregularity of such proceedings — glaring even to Republican partisans of proper tastes and judgments, does not occur to them. Before the campaign is finished we may read of a cabinet meeting “hurriedly summoned” to consider whether Chairman Hitchcock ought to employ three more stenographers and a few more office hoys at the Chicago headquarters; whether Mr. Taft should not have his moustache trimmed oftener as a bid for the barbers’ vote; whether the nominee ought not to be pulled off the stump altogether in order that the president’s fuiminations may he neither interrupted nor qualified; whether the "revision” of the tariff ought not, for political expediency, he postponed until after the election of 1912, 191 fi or 1 920; whether the bogus Grover Cleveland letter ought or not to he treated by the Republican press agents as genuine; whether E. H. Harriman ought to be sent around on another collecting errand among the corporations for the benefit of the Republican campaign fund. The course of the president and his cabinet but emphasizes the point made hy Mr. Bryan in his reply to Mr. Roosevelt when lie wrote that he did not regard it as “proper for the president to use ids prestige, his influence or his patronage to aid one member of hi parly as against another who aspires to office, and 1 regard it ns a violation of the obligation tiint lie president owes to the whole people to use an office that belongs to Hie whole people as a party asset for the advancement of a personal friend and a political protege.” If the present practice continues we may yet see the president and the cabinet so deep in party politics that they will hold a formal meeting and decide to elect the Republican candidate president hy presidential edict.- Louisville Courier-Journal.

Representative James T. Lloyd, of Missouri, chairman of the Ilemocratic national congressional counmlttee, on March Hi. RIOS, exposed the flagrant theft of tile people's money through tlie unfair weighing of mails when official tests were made to determine what compensation the railroads

should receive. He said:

Speaker Cannon intimated that Mr. Bryan hud lieeonie a millionaire. Tlie speaker was speaking in ids home town, Danville. 111. The folloxving day Mr. Bryan, speaking also in Air Cannon’s home district, opened liis ledger to the gaze of the American people and showed that lie is worth approximately $150,-

000.

Having thus accepted Speaker Cannon’s challenge to “’fess up,” Mr. Bryan demanded in return that Speaker Cannon “snitch on himself;” that is. Hint Mr. Cannon also “’f, ss up.” and relate Just how he got his wealth. it Is a perfectly proper tiling, too; for some people have been worried that Mr. Bryan has succeeded by his great Industry iu upbuilding a competency for his old age. Salary, Is-ctures and Kooks. ‘‘It xvns from what I saved from my congressional salary, and gained from lectures and hooks and the profits of ‘The Commoner’ that I got what money and property I have,” Mr. Bryan answered, in substance. “Will Mr. Cannon now tell the people how he amassed his xvealth? He lias been hampered more or less by official duties during his term of service in the congress, yet in spite of Hint obstacle. he ts commonly presumed to possess considerable of this world's goods.” Now “Uncle Joe’s” Turn. None will deny that it Is now Uncle Joe's turn to take the people into his confidence. Down in Danville, it Is true that Mr. Cannon and liis brother as bankers nre thought each to have amassed much more than $1,000,000. Certainly, his credit in ttlie financial world rests on tlie general belief that approximately that sum represents his earthly possessions. If that lie true. It is to lie hoped that the speaker xrill give details as to hoxv lie gut it. If it be mitlMc. then let him fell exactly how much lii> i xvorth, and of xvhat his wealth oo. slsts, and fotloxx Mr. Bryan's example in taking tlie people into liis coutt deuce.
