One beauty about our stink

The great Pennsyvania rail
road has to cut expenses to

sent down the line. Section

are to feel the pressure first,
and they will know how to vote

this fall. And the highest and
best tariff ever! Soup-house,

We've just been wondering if
the Mayor of Cincinnati would
allow moving pictures of the
Cox-Burton fight to be exhibited

forgot that George Barnsdale

ous nature would revolt at show

It is a pity that all Americans

The "Passing of Bryan" is an
old theme, so very old that it
can hardly be handled with con

Record Herald, Rep.
Secretary Sandles of the State
Board of Agriculture, himself
an editor and newspaper man
has persuaded the board to use
newspaper columns for its State
Fair advertising, as the very
best way to reach the people,
The board has already found
splendid results from this and
will enter into it more thorough
ly than ever this year. There is
nothing that Avill carry your an
nouncements into the homo and
attention of the people like their
favorite newspaper; you 11 catch
them there every time. The

his politics. Auglaize County
Democrat.
As Secretary bandies is an
all-wool and 30-inch wide Demo
crat, with a big and a little "d,'
and no explanatory diagram is
needed to find whereat he is at.
it would seem that Mr. Hoffer is
considerably off in his politics'
somehow somewhere.
Whatever legal technicalities
may be argued as to whether
the claim was valid or not, the
fact stands that the bank of
which former State Auditor
Guilbert is president has settl
ed with the state, paying over
$5,747.32 in full settlement for
interest on state funds deposit
ed in the bank by Guilbert when
he was state auditor.
It is not material whether Mr.
Guilbert profited personally by
the deposits in question or
whether the demands for a set
tlement did not specifically
charge any violation of the law
The main point is that the
state's claim for restitution so
far as these deposits are con
cerned has been acknowledged
and the money paid into the
state treasury.
What have the machine serv
ing g. o. p. organs oi Unio to
say now about Governor Har
mon failing to make good?
According to newspaper ac
counts, Mr. Guilbert and the
bank placed every facility at the
hands of the state for the use in
determining the exact liability
to the state according to their
view of the matter. All of Mr,
Guilbert's pass books and his
canceled checks and the books
of the bank were placed at the
disposal of the state in its work
and nothing was left to be con
jectured in the case. ihis is
quite a change from the attitude
assumed by Mr. Guilbert who
Mr. Bryan's Latest Killing Off
By Lewis F. Post, editor of The
Public, Chicago.
All who think WTilliam J.
Bryan's influence in American
politics has been killed again
this time by his own party and
m nis nome btate naa oener
hold their jubilating energy in
reserve until the election
returns come in from Nebraska.
If they have reason to use this
energy then, they may possibly
use it to some purpose; if they
have no use for it then, they may
be glad that they did not rejoice
over a welcome political death
followed so speedily by an ex
asperating political resurrec
tion. The truth appears to be that
it is not so much a defeat for
Bryan in his own party in Ne
braska that has taken place, as
a victory in that party for the
whisky ring a "coals to New
castle" matter, as many may
say which Bryan faithfully but
unsuccessfully opposed. The
inevitable effect of this "Bryan
defeat," as he warned the con
vention that it it would be, is to
make the "county option" liquor
question an "issue" and not only
an issue but the issue, in Ne
braska politics this fall. For
both the Republicans and the
Populists of Nebraska have
pledged themselves to county
option, which the whisky ring
aggressively and, as Bryan
says and there is reason to be
lieve, corruptly opposes. Oth
ers also oppose it, and genuine
ly, upon libertarian grounds;
but the opposition of the whis
key ring is overshadowing.
Bryan advised his party con
vention to make the same pledge
that other parties had made,
thereby taking this question out
of the campaign, and letting it
turn upon the initiative and re
ferendum as a local and the tar
iff as a national issue. By re
fusing to do so and this is the
sum and substance of "Bryan's
defeat" the Democratic party
of iSebraska has put itseli in
the position, in popular per
spective in Nebraska, of the
whiskey ring's sole political
champion in that State. The
popular tendency therefore will
be to regard the whiskey ring
as beaten if the Democratic par
ty loses, and triumpant if the
Democratic party wins.
Of the merits of the county
option question in Nebraska we
say nothing here. The merits
of that question are not involv
ed in the cry that Bryan has
been defeated in his own party;
and, regarded simply as a ques
tion of political influence, we
do not see how the action of the
convention on county option
tells against Bryan. An act by a
convention of his party which,
in the public mind, identifies
the party with the whisky
ring, whether the party wins
the election or loses it, and
which Bryan did his utmost to
prevent, looks to us more like a
defeat of the present managers
of his party in Nebraska than of
Bryan.
We might add that we have
yet to see or hear of any charac
terization of the matter as a de
feats, for Bryan which comes
from any other source, all along
the line from Watterson to
Hearst, than where Bryan's de
feat is perennially regarded both
as a foregone conclusion and a
foregone desire, and more of a
desire than of a conclusion. j
years ugo before tho state (se
nate's probo committee, to which
he refused to submit his cancel-!
ed checks and pass books;
which refusal was advised by
his counsel, Harry M. Daugher
ty; and it wus tho refusal of the
bank through Mr. Guilbert as
its president to produce the
books which blocked the probo
committee's efforts to get at tho
facts at that time brought the
investigation suddenly ti a
close.
These matters were laid be
fore the voters of Ohio in the
campaign of l'JOH, but were hoot
ed at by Republican speakers
and editors in the service of the
g. o. p. bosses. What have
they to say now?
In additon with tho settlement
made with the bank of which
Mr. Guilbert is president, suit
lias also been begun by the
attorney general against the re
ceiver of tho defunct Merchants
and Manufacturers National
Bank of Columbus on a claim
for $31,h09.02 interest on state
funds deposited in that bank by
Guilbert from lb'JG until the
state depository law went into
effect 1004. It is not charged in
this action that Guilbert was
paid interest on such deposits,
but it is contended by the attor
ney general that the bank is
liable to the state for interest on
such deposits.

Ohio Democratic
State Platform
The platform adopted by tho Dem
ocratic convention Is as follows:
The Democratic party of Ohio In con,
ventlon assembled, reaffirms its faith and
devotion to those essential principle oi
Democracy which have ever held tht
pariy together In victory and defeat; lti
unity and confidence after a long- aeries
of reverses In national elections are uf
Anient attestation to the sincerity of ltJ
belief.
Oulded by these principles the Demo-
ertalo party founded national unity and
prosperity, and established local elf-
government for the states and munlol
palltes. They are alike applicable to th
g-overument of the nation and the state.
The coming campaign In Ohio for the
election of state omcers should and must
be fought on state Issues, and It Is
therefore proper that we declare first
nd foremost our position upon these
Questions of state government In which
the people are most Interested.
We submit to the voters the record
made and making by the present Demo
cratic state administration. Every dot'
lar of the people's money on hand Is
working for them, Instead of for office
holders and favored politicians, drawing
full Interest as a result of fair competi
tion, and that Interest is now all going
Into tho treasury for the first time In
many years.
Instead of protecting1 and defending
grafiers, as wns the way of Republican
officers, the present government Is hay
ing them prosecuted and sued for the
return to the state of the many thou
sand dollars secured by fraud and
wrong-doing.
Every agency at his command Is being
empli ycd to bring to account officers whs
wera recreant to the trusts reposed In
th?m by the people.
The governor Is handicapped In the
taslc of purifying and Improving the
public service by the opposition of a hos
tile legislature and Republican state om-
clals. He will continue the work so well
begun, but we call on the citizens to
uphold him by electing his associates on
the ticket and a legislature that will
help, Instead of hinder. In eliminating
graft, Introducing buslnes methods and
graft the the effectiveness while re
ducing t'r.e cost of state Institutions and
apartments.
Planks In Platform.
We favor a maximum aggregate tax
rate of 10 mills, without any right to
Increase It, except by a vote of the
people.
We favor the fair ana just regulation
of nil public utilites as well as railroads,
with the right of home rule as to fran
chises, carefuly guarded.
We favor the ratification of the In
come tax amendment or tne xeaeraj con
stitution, which was stifled by the pres
ent Republican legislature.
We demand the election at United
States senators by direct vote or the
people.
To that ena we pieage a uemocraua
legislature to take the necessary action
looking to a convention of the states to
adopt the constitutional amendment required.
rending the campaign tor compliance
with the people's demand, so long denied
by a Republican senate, we promise ths
enactment by a Democratic legislature
of a law so far as publlo sentiment
will enforce it, providing for the nomina
tion of senators by popular vote at ths
regular elections in senatorial years.
We favor:
A uniform school book law.
The principle of the Initiative and ref
erendum.
The extension of the teaching or agn
culture.
The promotion of a nonpartisan judi
ciary by the placing of the names or all
judicial candidate on a separate ballot
without party distinction.
The enactment of legislation limiting
the hours of labor of employed women.

In national affairs we favor the appli
cation of business methods to the ad
ministration of the federal government
In order to reduce Its enormous and fast
growing expenses, which Involve a wasts

We demand the revision or the present
unjust and oppressive tariff, reducing
rats so as to lower the prices Imposed
on consumer; the need of revenue for the
economical conduct of the government
must be the guiding principle Instead of
the demands of favored interests. Ana
the chief burden of tariff taxation must
be taken from articles of the cheaper
grades where it Is placed by the law of
Payne, Aldrich, Smoot and Cannon, which
Jhe president approved. The gradual re
ductions In tariff taxation to make It

Bryan's Commoner, August 5.
The Nebraska Democratic State con

to endorse county option and tins has
been heralded over the country as a
defeat for Mr. Bryan. Let all the facts
be known: About May 1 Mr. ISryan
urged the calling of a special session
of the legislature to submit the initia
tive and referendum. lie stated that
by tbe submission of the initiative and
relerendum the county option fight
could be postponed for two years, lie
failed to secure the special session.
Then he announced himself in favor of
an endorsement of county option us
the only way to break the hold of the
liquor interests and insure the submis
sion of the initiative and referendum.
As a result of his fight the Republi
cans endorsed the iniative and refer
endum, thus making it certain that it
will be submitted at the coming ses
