ATWATER EDITOR WEARS PAR
TISAN SPECTACLES.
We have been insistent all the
time and very few issues of our
paper have apneared that did not
appeal in some manner to the moral
instincts of our readers. Locally
we atood stiong for local option
and the big gain in the vote
in our village testifies to the result
of our work. In the county we de
clared for county option and in the
state for strict enforcement of the
iaws. This has been our consistent
attitude all the time. And we still
stand pat. The real live issue in
the state campaign this year is
county option, notwithstanding the
fact that both of the large parties
omitted it. We are convinced that
with Mr. Jacobson in the governor's
office a county option bjll will be
signed and become a law, and we
are equally convinced that with
Gov. Johnson in his present office
nothing will be accomplished along
this line. Therefore as a consistent
juppoiter of temperance progress
we are for the man who is right
and against the man who is wrong
on these questions —Atwater Re
publican Pi ess.
Editor Johnson has permitted his
partisan prejudices to get the bet
ter of him. it is not fair to as
sume that Gov. Johnson would not
sign a county option bill, when
Gov. Johnson said he would, within
the hearing of said editor at the
meeting in the town hall in At
water. The question is not one of
getting the county option bill
•signed. Had the last republican
legislature passed such a bill two
years ago Governor Johnson would
have signed it. The question is to
get such a bill passed. The lieu
tenant governor, Adolph 0 Eber
hart, whose name the Republican
Pi ess editor runs at the top of his
editorial cjlunn next to that of
Jacobson, deliberately appointed a
temperance committee which
stood 8 to 1 against county option
in the last senate. That had a di
rect bearing on the passing of the
bill. Now, if the Republican Press
is so wonderfully consistent, why
isn't it "against the man who was
wrong on this question?" Because
by so doing it might have to advo
cate the election ot a prohibitionist,
which would not perhaps have "ap
pealed to the moral instincts of the
people" in the manner in which
the Republican Press is appealing
in other columns of its last paper.
Candidate Jacobson says that county
option is a matter for legislative
enactment and Gov. Johnson says
no man who is fit to be governor
would veto a measure of that kind
if passed. Honors are even as far
as we can see, and in attempting
to misrepresent the governor's po
sition in this matter the Republican
Press is making a sad mistake,
which will react more to its own
detriment than it will hurt Gov.
Johnson, in whose good record and
brilliant achievements A a
and neighboring community take
quite as much pride as do the peo
ple of Minnesota generally.
CR1T1ZISED THEIR OWN PLAT
FORM.
A very laughable incident, show
ing clearly how ready republican
politicians are to condemn anything
that Bryan says, without weighing
it in the balance of judgment, oc
curred recently, and incidentally
two very prominent republican edit
ors told a very unpalatable truth to
their brethren of the faith. In one
of his recent speeches Bryan made
use of the following paragraph:
"In all tariff legislation the true
pi inciple is best maintained by the
imposition of such duties asjjwill
equal the difference between the cost
of production at home and abroad,
together with reasonable profit to
American industries."
Editor Rosewater of the Omaha
|Bee, who is reckoned among the
'great republican editors of the
West, took one glance at this para-'way the
graph, sharpened his pencil and
went for it in this fashion.:
"Nothing prettier in the catch
all line has been offered in this
campaign. The most hidebound
standpatter in the country can ac
cept that as satisfactory and the
rankest free-trader can find delight
in it. The declaration means sim
ply nothing. An attempt to legis
late along that line would simply
open the way to interminable
wrangling as to what constitutes
a reasonable profit" for hairsplit
ting on wages in one industry, price
of raw materials in another, re
bates, and drawbacks in a third and
so on thru the list of thousands of
articles that are now on the tariff
lists. Under such a proposition,
an attempt at tariff revision at
Bryan's direction would serve only
to halt industrial and commercial
progress and keep business unset
tled during his term of office."
The Portland Oregonian, one of
the leading republican papers of
the Pacific coast, attacks the para
graph viciously in a long editorial,
from which we quote the beginning
paragraph:
"This means nothing. Every
protectionist, even the extremist,
will accept the statement. Who is
to decide what is reasonable profit?
Who is to decide what may be the
far difference between wages at
home and abroad? The problem
presents an infinite number and
variety of factors, as well as of
differences to be adjusted. Men
never will agree upon them. They
will agree upon the loose statement,
as presented by Mr. Bryan but
never upon the working it out.
They can't. It is not a problem of
mathematics. The human spirit
controls it all. Agree on the Bryan
statement, yet you are no nearer
the solution than you were before.
The formula offers no sure values
or definite quantities."
Now the joke in this is that the
offending paragraph which these
great repubilcan editors criticise
so vigorously was not originated by
Bryan, but is THE TARIFF PLANK
OF THE REPUBLICAN NATONAL
PLATFORM of this year of grace
1908. Mr. Bryan had simply
quoted it in his speeches and think
ing that it was a Bryan statement
they proceeded to analyze it and
discovered how ridiculous the state
ment really is. These opinions of
prominent republican editors, ob
tained when they did not know that
they were talking about the repub
lican tariff plank, emphasizes what
the Tribune said soon after the
adoption of this plank, namely that
the plank meant nothing and could
be interpreted in favor of tariff re
vision either upward or downward.
Now that you know What the crit
cioed paiagraph is. just go back
and read the republican opinion
once more and see if you don't
agree with them that the republican
tariff plank is worthless and a mere
"catch-all phrase."
THE BANKING ISSUE.
In one very important matter the
republican and democratic nation
al platforms are agreed, namely,
that our present banking system is
unsafe and a menace to the finan
cial welfare of the country. It is
well known to all that whatever
may be the primary cause of a pan
ic, the most important factor after
it has started is the fact that
people become alarmed about the
safety of their deposits and start
runs on the banks, thus forcing the
banks to close. Thus a small flurry
in one of the big money centers
may cause a panic all over the coun
try, simply because the people have
no assurance of the safety of their
deposits in the banks. Remove
that cause, and it will be almost
impossible to cause a general panic.
As stated, both parties recognize
this fact, and both suggest remedies
for the condition.
Furthermore, both of them agree
that it is the province of the gov
ernment to step in and secure the
deposits of the people. The differ
ence comes in the way this is to be
done. The republican platform en
dorses postal savings banks, where
the people could deposit their
money at a low rate of interest and
have the government backing for
its safety. The government would
then have to re-deposit the money
in regular banks, making such pro
visions for its safety as it saw fit.
The system would undoubtedly be
better than the present one, but it
is open to the objection that the
government could give preference
to pet banks and thus strengthen
still further the pet Standard Oil
banks that have received such
marked favors from the administra
tion during the past three adminis
trations.
The democratic platform dealers
are in favor of postal savings banks,
if a better system cannot be ob
tained but it advances as a better
bank guarantee system.
Under this,there could be no govern
mental favors to any particular bank
or chain of banks. The deposits
would be guaranteed and the de
positors could place their money in
any bank they saw fit, thus natural
ly keeping the money in the local
banks instead of concentrating it
in the Standard Oil banks of New
York to be used by the Sytsem in
commanding the markets in Wall
Street. All the banks would be be
hind the guarantee for each bank,
and all would therefore be in favor
of the strictest kind of laws regu
lating banking in order to make it
as safe for the bankers as possible.
The danger of "runs' would be
eliminated, and the only thing to
look out for would be the loose sys
tem of making loans that prevails
among some banks today.
The difference then between the
two remedies proposed is the natur
al difference between the republican
and democratic parties. The re
publican party stands for concentra
tion of power and special favors
the democratic party fundamentally
stands for diffusion of power, leav
ing as much of it as possible in the
hands of local, county and state
governments. The proposed reme
dies reflect this difference. With
a government favorable to certain
banking interests and drawing sup
port from them in campaigns, as
the republican party has done in
the past, the postal savings banks,
while being an improvement over
present conditions in that it would
safeguard the people' deposits,
would tend to centralize the money
power still more. In the hands of
an administration not so bound to
those special interests, this danger
would be somewnat modified but
there would always be the ad
ded incentive to the interests to
get an administration that would
be ready to dish out these new spe
cial favors. The bank guarantee
plan removes this danger, leaves
the banks all over the country in
dependent of governmental favors
and at the same time removes the
main cause of panics. The voters
should weigh this matter well and
decide which system they prefer.
INCONSISTENT AS CAN BE.
Mr. Lawson and the Willmar Tri
bune have been particularly active
in the advocacy of temperance leg
islation, the nucleous of which has
been county option. The Tribune
and its editor have done good and
effective work in the field of tem
perance education. We have
great respect for Bro. Lawson, our
former employer, but we are forced
by the dictates of our conscience
to disagree with him in his support
of a man for governor whose elec
tion we believe is the hope of all
those who would retard moral pro
gress in this state.—Atwater Re
publican Press.
Now, George, while we appreci
ate your good opinion, we do not
think the facts warrant you in your
statement regarding Gov. Johnson
being a moral reprobate. The re
publican machine politicians, who
to a man are lined up for Jake, are
not working to secure a county op
tion law. In communities where
liquor sentiment is strong they are
trying just as hard to convince
those interested that Jake will do
nothing against the liquor interests
as they are in this county to make
us believe he will do the reverse.

for Jake's election were in favor of
county option, we should have had
it longa go.
We believe, and the record of the
two last legislatures proves our
statement, that we are more apt to
secure remedial and beneficial leg
islation with a governor who is in
dependent of the dominating party,
than if you make the republican
state machine absolutely supreme.
Gov. Johnson is more independent
than ever, not having asked for the
re-nomination, and has a national
reputation to sustain during his
third term. The people know that
they can trust him to do the right
thing, and they will rally to his
support on election day with an en
thusiasm that will send a thrill of
pleasure thruout the nation.
And by the way, George, while
your conscience is so sensitive,
what sort of company are you with
in your attempt to defeat our
honorable sheriff, who has stood ?o
manfully for just those things for
which you appear so solicitous?
