SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1906.
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 being 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 subscrip
tions of One Dollar each from Repub licans. To each subscriber we wil
send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve a great victory.

or wisely. We do not believe that either the Democratic Party, or any great party or the membership of
either party, Is ready to accompany him upon this perilous adventure in radicalism and centralization. The people are not so distrustful of their
institutions and of their own powers
within the old forms.
Mr.. Bryan's new doctrine of public
ownership for the railroads i3 dis tinctly and measurably more danger
ous and upsetting than his abandoned issue of 16 to 1. It 13 revolution that he proposes, and incalculable disaster
would attend the success of his effort. The people of this country can see far enough ahead to steer clear of
a calamity of this- magnitude so plain
ly in their view. The transfer of the title to thirteen bilions of property to
the Federal Government and the issue of an equivalent amount of National securities, "would effect- a displacement of values and of productive force that would result in disturbances
for which our history affords no precedent or comparison save those occas
ioned by the Civil War. Mr. Bryan professes to believe that it would re
store the regime of individualism. It
would leave a multitude of the most capable and efficient individuals in
this Nation without work to do and
without any incentive to make furth
er application of their energies. Com
parisons drawn from Mr. Bryan's
study of public ownership in European countries fail altogether;- it is like comparing zephyrs with cyclones.
MR. ZUEBLIN AGAIN. The New York Sun editorally refers
to Prof. Charles Zueblin's attack on Speaker Cannon as follows:
Professor Charles Zueblin of Chica
go University is quoted as saying to
3,000 persons at the Richmond, Ind.,
Chautauqua that "the mention of the subjes
name of Joseph G. Cannon in connec
tion with the Presidency is an insult
to the nation" because of Mr. Can

- A BLOW TO BRYAN. Early, in the stage of Bryan's boom
there has, come a great counteracting
influence -the rebuffs "that the great
conservative newspapers of the coun
try at largo have given him. The New York Times is one of these. It had been expected to throw Its influence to Bryan, . but the Nebraskan's radical address the other night has
upset its stomach, so to speak. In part, the New York Times yesterday
spoke as follows: Returning to his native land Mr
Bryan presents himself to his countrymen no longer as a Democrat but
as the founder and leader of a new
party, the exponent of a new National
policy, and the advocate of new and revolutionary principles. In his judgment "the overshadowing evil of the day is the Trust with the plutocratic
tendencies that result therefrom," and, believing that the Trusts are fostered
and sustained by private monopoly in
railroad transactions, he attacks the
evil by proposing National ownership of the trunk-line railroads and State ownership of local lines. Mr. Bryan
recently said that he was more radi
cal than ever. This is his radicalism
It is not Democracy tha is certain. Government control over inter-state
commerce corporations is Republican doctrine as well as Democratic doctrine, for it is imbedded in the Constitution. But public '. ownership of the railroads has not up to the present time been an article of faith with either party, and by portending the effacement of State lines it stands in Irreconcilable conflict with that cont-ury-old foundation principle of Democracy that insists upon state rights and the limiting of the Federal power to its strict Constitutional prerogatives. Considered as a piece of tactics. Mr. Bryan's new doctrine was almost forced upon him by necessity, and presents a way of escape from the helpless position in which heappeared to have been placed by Mr. Roosevelt's advancing radicalism. The President had taken the wind out of his saiis, but upon this tack he has the wide ocean to himself. That he had to do. it well be the comment of political observers. A Presidental -campaign in which Mr. Bryan should content himself with following in the wake of Mr. Roosevelt would be a tame and listless performance, and he would be the subordinate performer. Now, at least, he will attract attention. Mr. Bryan has possibly done his best to create an issue, but we are riot of the opinion that he has done well ,

Peru, Ind. September 1. (Spl.) An eruption disease, closely resem
bling small pox, and yet not small pox
as the doctors agree, prevails in
virulent form in Huntington county.
When it first appears the body is covered with sores. They in turn be
come crusts, and these falling off leave the flesh raw and sore. It is not an infrequent sight to see a baby with its face almost entirely crimson from the ravages of the disease. Cases are
varied in their advancement, but all
local dealers agree that the average case is by no means mild. Physicians agree that the disease is contagious and say that it is almost impossible
to prevent its spread. Entirely heal
thy persons are to an extent immune.
By most physicians it is said to be a
parasitic disease. That is it is spread
by a living and microscopic insect or
parasite.
The disease is of such a nature
that it cannot be handled by the health authorities ,who think that It is not serious enough to warrant compulso
ry isolation although some doctors be
lieve this is the only way to prevent
its spread.

Belgium seems to be in a fair way

she can be discharged for cause.
retained beyond that time, however,
there must, by the law of the land, be
eight days notice given on either side
as that the Belgium housekeeper need not live in mortal terror that Bridget or rather her Belgian equivalent may
leave between lunch and dinner with out so much as a word of notice. In
deed, Belgium seems to have solved
the labor problem pretty well, since no emolument arising for labor, is
more sought after the Belgium work
man than the the industrial decorar
tion conferred annually on a certain
number of workmen who have per
formed good and faithful services to
one firm or employer for at least thir ty years uninterruptedly. Of course
with strikes, as common as they are in this country, it is not believed that
any great number or medals would
be necessary even were the system
instituted, but in Belgium the result
is gratifying. So healthy has been the effect on the male portion of the
working class that last June, to fur
ther stimulate the stability and con
tinued service on the part of the house
servants, a royal decree was issued
conferring the same privilege of eli
gibilitv for medals upon these who
have served in the same place for
period of twenty-five years, or have
been in the same family and merited
from them the required recommend
ation for faithful and devoted service
Happy indeed are the house-wives in

Dr. Otto Schmidt of Cologne has succeeded in making cultures of th cascer bacillus in a certain mildew forming on plants. When transferred to animals the bacillus caused genuine cancer. In an Interview Dr, Schmidt says: 'T am the first man to prove that cancer can be artificially produced on animals." Dr. Schmidt showed the correspondent several animals with cancer communicated through injecticE. He declared that remedy for cancer was now possible. New Jap Line of Steamers. Victoria, B. C., Sept. 1. The steam
er Tartar, from the Orient, brought news that the Japanese government proposes to subsidize a steamship line
to connect Dalny with the north Pacific coast of the United States, and
also Shanghai and Vladivostok. The south Manchurlan Railroad company,
practically a government concern,
will spend $5,000,000 in constructing
steamers In Japan for this purpos,
and arrangements have been made for an expenditure of $30,000,000 for the improvement at t the z railway system bstween 'Dalny and'Chans; Chun.'
These are not such piping times of
peace after all, it would appear. At
least, the general staff of the army has just completed arrangements with
the mint ta Philadelphia for the pro
duction of a new series of service medals to decorate the houses of those
members of the army who have taken
part in the disturbances which have
been going on in what is fast becorn
ing the war center of the world .the
Orient. The medals, which will ap
ply, of course, to other ructions, will
be distinctive, so that a glance at one will serve to show where its owner
gained it, since there are to be separ
ate decorations struck off for the
Spanish war, the Philippine insurrec
tion (not war, take notice), the China relief expedition, the Indian wars -and
for meritorious services at other
times an indication that bellicose
happenings have been going right along in spite of the attempts of the
Hague tribunal to universalize the dove of peace. One new departure is
to be made in the new medals, in
stamping the name of the receipient
on the edge, where a portion of the
milling is to be removed for the pur
pose, since artists have agreed that to place the name of either face would destroy the artistic effect of the de
sign. The Philippine medal on the
obverse side shows a palm tree, bal
ance scales, and an ancient lamp,
surrounded by the words "Philippine Insurrection 1899-1904." Since no
one has heard that the insurrection ended in 1904 or at any subsequent time, the reason for the later date remains a mystery. The Spanish medal shows on its obverse face a Spanish castle, the Chinese relief medal a Chinese dragon, and the Indian wars medal, an Indian on horseback. The reverse side of all four medals will be the same with the conventional eagle; the words: "United States Army"; and a laural wreath with the words "for merit."
Talk would seem to be cheap over In England at present, according to
information received at the State De-
parment that is, talk by means of
mechanical devices for communication between distant points, for the
English government finds itself com
pelled to reduce to a great extent the
runs, in order to complete with the
tolls on the telegraph lines, which it
privately owned telephone. A rather
curious condition of affairs exist in
England from the same cause that has
left her far behind in electric railways
as compared to the United States; that is, the municipal ownership craze..
since the privately owned telephone
is to a great extent used for the trans
mission of long distance messages
which in this country are naturally
sent by telegraph. The government,
indeed, finds increasing difficulty, ac
cording to reports received here, in
competing through its own telegraph
lines with the telephone about the
only thing which has not yet come
under the control of municipal owner
ship in King Edward's Isle. Accord
ngly a ten word telegram may now
be sent to England for six cents but
And Americans will doubtless ap
preciate this point -the address is
included in the ten words! Just how many words this leaves for the message may be figured out. As an ad
dress in a large city often contains
eight or ten words, the new reduction is more or less of a joke. But
even where the opportunity for telegraphic communication is offorded at such an alleged low price which is not low at all when figured out on an
advantage of it. for, according to the
latest report of the census bureau, Americans use the "phone" and the
wire" many times oftener than do the
natives of the mother country and generally more cheaply, too. All of which would seem to indicate that
John Bull has found his government
and city business monopolies more or
less of a losing game.

It is more than thirty years since manifestation of sentiment concern
ing freight rates, known as the Granger movement, made itself felt ia
many states, and now it begins to
look as though Congress at its next
session were to be made aware of
Granger movement number two, along the same lines. This time however, the Granger interests will make their wishes felt concerning water transportation instead of that by rail the question which they tackled in the seventies. The requests which ara already being received here for speakers who will explain at the meetings of various granges, the details
of the benefits which would accrue
to the farmer through a national system of water transportation, make it plain that Congress at its next session will in all probability have to deal in this connection with the class which at least likes to oppose the agriculturists. Not a few Congressmen,
and at least one possible Senator it Is
known, are making their campaigns chiefly on a platform of such increas
ed appropriations for waterways im
provements as well enable the far
mers and, indeed, shippers generally, to take advantage of the natural facilities for cheap transportation which
the rivers of the country offer, and so to move their freight at only a fraction of the present rail cost. Indeed, as Congress draws nearer, one of the strongest demands which is beginning to be felt for assistance and educate assistance from the government in
making cheap water transportation possible.
Sold as junk for a total of $I32.0o
this Is the fate .according to a report Just received at the Navy Department, of three , of the Spanish warships
which, confronting Admiral Dewey in Manilla Bay on May 1, were
driven ashore and captured. Nothing could more strikingly illustrate the
the extreme precariousness of an in
vestment represented in a battleship, and the small likelihood of its ever yielding a commensurate return, whether disabled in war or retired in peace. The three ships In question which have just been sold, were not, as has been stated of wooden construction, hut of iron a fact - which makes all the more striking their fare when it is remembered that it required several months to find a purchaser. Deducting the expense of getting rid of them, the final net return on .the three ships, which originally cost the Spanish government hundreds of thousands of dollars1 was exactly $103.50 the final -value
