TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that Lcinr; so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. James S. Sherman, Chairman. P O. Box 2063, New York. BRYAN AND THE BULL RING In small slaughter houses a rope is fastened around t ho horns of a steer, then passed through a ring In the floor and then wound around a windlass, says the Chicago Chronical. When the windlass is turned many are tho struggles and contortions of the animal as his head Is brought down to the floor to receive the death blow, hut it is of course all in vain. What the ring in the floor Is to the steer the silver issue is to William J. Bryan. The various democratic conventions that have nominated him for tho presidency are like so many turns on the windlass. He sees the bull ring right in front of him and has uready began the sidestepping and dancing about which naturally precede the more violent efforts to escape the Inevitable. Ho betrays his gloomy apprehensions by discussing the subject of sliver himself before any one else has hinted at It. The wicked flee when no man pur suet h urrpiy impressed witu ine apprehension that his silver record forever disqualifies him for the presidency or for a presidential candidacy, Mr, Bryan has now begun to apologizo for It. Ho would repudiate it if he could, but ns he must live and die with it he attempts to draw its teeth. "I am more than ever a free silver man," he says, '"but "the free silver Issue is dead. A deplorable plethora of gold came along just as I Introduced the issue and killed it. It is a dead issue at present and cannot Interfere with my candidacy." Issues may be very much alive for some men long after they are dead to the community. The fact that a national issue has been disposed of does not rehabilitate the men who were on the wrong side of it, especially if it was a moral Issue. Whenever a moral issue has been decided aright and ceased to bo an issuo all the politicians who were on the Immoral ide have been interred with It. Secession is a dead issue and every pollticlan'who advocated it is dead also for all national purposes. Slavery is a dead issue and no man who advocated it can ever bo president. Flat money Is a dead Issue and James B. Weaver can never bo a live politician. In like manner silver is a dead issue and William J. Bryan died with It as a national politician. Tho tendency is to bury a Dolitlcian with

his theories even when they are only a question of expediency, but history does not afford an example of a politician who advocated an immoral policy and survived it. The free silver proposition was a steal. It involved the repudiation of one-half of all existing indebtedness. Its results would have been worse than war, famine and pestilence put together. Bryan's plea is about as rational say amusing as the address of a highway robber to a prospective fellow traveler who should say: '"See here ,my man, let us b friends and companions. On two different occasions, it is true, I tried to hold you up and take all you had and you succeeded in beating me off and I would still like to do it, but I have a lame arm at present and am absolutely harmless. Come and go with me and trust

me. I am now a periectiy sate aim honest man." He might be compared also to a physician who says to a former pa tient: "It is true that on two different occasions when you applied to me for treatment I tried to poison you and you discovered the trick and frustrat ed it and I would still poison you if I could, but that is nothing now. You will be on your guard hereafter and I will be unable to poison you, so pray continue to trust me and emuloy me in sickness." The traveler and the patient would both say: "Where there is a will there is a way and as long as you have .a disposition to rob me and take my lite i am ntraid you will find a way to do it, so I pic fere to have ihing to do with you." That is exactly what, the American people will say to Bryan if the opportunity presents itself MAY MEAN DICTATORSHIP THE SITUATION IN POLAND Activity of the Terrorists and the Lack of Public Support is Forcing the Government to Take Repressive Measures. Publishers' Tressj St. Peoisliu!v, Aug. 17. The activity of the terrorists and revolutionists and lack of support of the public are steadily forcing tho government's hands in the direction cf repression. The events in Poland have given a new impetus to the talk of a military dictatorship, which is one of tho subjects for consideration enumerated in the call for a meeting received by the members of the military council. The prevalence of agrarian strikes and disorders has impelled Premier Srolypin to send another circular to the provincial authorities directing them to spare no efforts to suppress them and prevent their repetition. M. Stolypln demands increased vigilance on the part of the administrative officials and police and rural guard. ITALIAN'S DEED Killed Constable When Refused Admission to Dance Hal!. Asbury Park, N.

Exciting Life on Idaho Ranch Dudley Cates Writes Entertainingly from Leslie, Idaho, Where He is Located on George Clark's Ranch Enough of the Strenuous to Make the Time Pass Quickly and Good Crops to make Work Profitable Narrow Escapes

Dudley Cates. formerly on the local stiff of the Palladium, but now located en the GeorgoH. Clark's "Hoosier" ranch at Leslie, iSuho, is highly pleased with the country and intends to remam there for s"tne time. In a h tier to his father lie gives an interesting tic sv ion of the life on j the ranch. He .s in part: "Nearly I every night wo i ut to shoot chickens, or rather "sage hens." as they are called. They are about the size of u good spring "fry" and aside from being tine to hum they are the best meat I ever tasted. They are fully as good as quail and as tender as can be. They are rather scarce, but. the two I killed tonight brings my total since Auaaist 1. up to twenty-two. We eat three or four at a meal if we have them. I shot a big hawk tonight. At first I thought 1 had killed an eagle, but it proved to be a "barred" hawk, with a spread of wings that measured three feet. The hawk was fighting an owl. equally as big. and the fellow I was with shot the owl. There are lots of big owls here and when you shoot ul wound one they will tight to ft'ie last. I brought in the wings and tail feathers of the hawk. The tail feathers arc twelve inches long and they spread out enough to make the prettiest fan you ever saw. "Last night some coyotes got into the yard, ami of all the howling you over heard, the worst was hero. Coyote veils sounds worse than any noise I ever heard. I grabbed up a 25 37. calibre ritle and went to the door of t,he tent but it was too dark to see anything. The coyotes come in close to a house and try to tempt the dogs to chase them. If the dogs do give chase, the coyotes get them out a little ways and kill them to eat. Just at sun down a few days ago I saw one of the yellow beasts near the (aural. I shot at him with a shot gun but he was out of range. The shot scared him, however, and he toak out over uie range at a mile a minute gait. "The kind of farming in vogue here is "dry fanning" i. e. not a drop on the ground from the time the seed is sown till the harvest. This lias proven successful in many places. It is brought, about by working the sub soil which retains the moisture of the springs all through the fall and winter. "I intend to plant fifteen acres of wheat in this manner from which I am assured that I should get a yield of thirty bushels to the aerfr. Fifteen more acres I am going to pjitnt in potatoes. Potatoes are very scarce here and high the year round! Very few fturoen-ahuUicn

is particularly well adapted to them. "By the way the coyotes are making so much noise this very minute that I can hardly hear myself think. They are out on tho range somewhere about a mile away. I would like to shoot one and have the hida mounted for a rug. I also want to shoot a badger. They are very pretty and make line skin wall hangings. Antelopes drop in on ns every onco in a while but to shoot one means n, fine of $300. until 1011. They are aa pretty as can be and as gentle as Iambs, although you cannot get very near them. 1 rode to Darlington, five miles south of here last night to see a man. I did not know the way and got lost coming back. I crossed old Lost Hiv. er in a deep place where my horso nearly had to swim. I tell you I was in a "fix." Luckily there was a light at the ranch house and I followed that which took me through tho fields and across ditches, landing mo homo at eleven o'clock. There are soma "bad lauds" down in that direction too and to get off the trail in somo places means to suik into tho mud and never be found. "On July 21, a broncho that George is afraid to ride ran away with me. I was out on the range and gave him too much rein. He struck out toward the hills and then wheeled and camo back toward the ranch, making for a gap in the fence where one barbed wire stretched across. The horso did not see the wire as he had the bit in

his teeth. I could do nothing but wait. I couldn't stop him so I put. my hand down on his neck. That always makes a western horse stop and buck. This one went through figures like you see in Buffalo Bill's show. I stuck, but I don't rido that horsa any more. "A work horso bit me on the collar bone last week. I was buckling a liamc strap, and she bit the top of my head. Then I hit her with a ropa and she took the skin off tho left sido of my collar bone. It is alWight now. "The hay harvest is now on In ear' nest. Two, and sometimes fouf teams and mowers have been at work for two weeks, and it will take another week to finish cutting. The bay is so heavy that there is not enough room for the windrowB when it is raked. George will have over five hundred tons. "I get the Palladium regularly and thus keep track of all that is golngon in Richmond. I like the country bet ter than any place I was ever In. J think potatoes could be raised and a denaturlzed alcohol factory started which would make one a fortune." 16 S. 7th St. X and AWNINGS, lounges, : Repair work a specialty.
