As ; everybody knows, nobody better . than Mr. Taft, the country was ripe for the panic of 1893 before Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated or even elected. The treasury was practic ally empty, and Secretary Foster had ordered plates for a bond Issue en graved. There had been a growing ' depression Bince 1889, Increasing fit fully If not steadily during Mr. Har rison's administration. The panic of : ?893, if It is to be charged up to either party, was a Republican leg acy to the Cleveland administration. . Moreover, the panic of 1893 oc- ' curred under the highest tariff ever known up to that time, much higher ! 4 than apy except the succeeding Ding- '- ley tariff, under which the panic i ' of 1907 occurred. Republican poli ; tlclans have always declared, and some of them have the audacity to declare even now, that a high pro tective tariff causes prosperity, good times. That the higher the tariff taxes the better the times will be ,. They have alwayB insisted that - high tariff insured good prices for . !- -all products, work for everybody at ' good wages, universal prosperity But it seems that the very high M& r- Klnley tariff did not work that way '-In 1893, nor the still higher Ding- ; ley tariff In 1907. But while It Is incorrect and dis V Ingefluous under these circumstances ' , to charge up the panic of 1893 to if th-Democratic party, Mr. Bryan is ; ; - fully entitled to call the panic of r 1907 a Republican panic, for that . party had been in complete power 1 ; for over 10 years, and their pet 'principle" by which prosperity is .produced waa in operation to greater extent than ever before. The people were being taxed into pros perlty at an average rate of over 5 2 per cent ad valorem on most of the necessaries of life, and yet here came j the "very little" panic of 1907. But f : millions of people thought It a pretty ' ; big one. f . The Republican party can "cure I' ' if, Mr. Taft says. But observe that !! be does not say how. That is a ee i i cret. It will be cured, we suppose.

But If this was a "very little'' panic, why should such a great, puissant party, that ; can produce universal prosperity at will, have permitted it? True, it suited Rockefeller and Morgan very wejl; they made many millions out Of It; but what of the 2,000,000 men who were thrown out of employ ment? What are tey to think of this "very little" panic? 'If the Re publican party brings on or permits a little panic like this so suddenly, , so unexpectedly, to causelessly, so ' ruthlessly, may it not within a few ears bring on big one? And -If, this was a little panic, w hat would j of want everywhere, grasshopper spellbinders cuckoo and cackle about Bryan. 'How soon the poor worms forget! When in this reign of Roosevelt, Aldrlch, Foraker and Standard Oil, every bank door In the country was closed, a spectacle the world never saw before, what was the attitude of word he rallied to Mr. Roosevelt and his embarrassed country an In fluence of helpfulness and comfort that was of uucomputed and Incom parable value. With an abounding patriotism, and deep love for his country and his countrymen, Mr. Bryan shouted to his followers: 'This is not the time to gain partisan advantage. It is the time for every patriot and honest man to place his country above party; to do this first, because the whole people, rich and poor, are concerned, and secondly because the laboring men are out of work and must bear the main part of the burden which will result from this panic. . Help the banks now; help them by leaving your dollars in the bank." Was there ever more commanding patriotism? Was there ever a more transcendent display of big and broad manhood? Was there ever a mightier contrast tnan the attitude of Mr. Bryan then and that now of those for whose succor he gave his name, his reputation, his powers, his all.

Will any one contend that the people were not entitled to know these facts PRIOR TO ELECTION DAY? Now in 1908 publicity concerning campaign funds is demanded. PRIOR TO ELECTION DAY. But Mr, Roosevelt insists that the people must trust the Republican managers and that the" source of the Republican party's campaign fund will not be revealed until AFTER THE ELECTION!

AS TO SUPREME JUSTICES A' NEW campaign issue is raised by Governor Hughes. He says Mr. Taft is the man for presi dent because four supreme jus tices are tabe appointed during the next four years. Most if not all workingmen take a different view. Workingmen were sent to jail with out a Jury trial by Mr. Taft when a federal Judge in Ohio. His decis ions then are cited today as author ity for government by injunction, a system that has done more than all else to crush and oppress labor. Nor is this all. The personnel of the supreme court is of vast moment to the millions. There are charges everywhere that corporations and corporation lawyers dominate that high tribunal. It has already ad vanced the unexpected doctrine that labor papers must not even print the name of a corporation ,or individual and merely characterize them as hos tile to labor. For no greater an of fense than this, Samuel Gompers is now defendant to an indictment in a federal court, as a result of this de cision. Nor is this all. Secretary Root, speaking for the administration has advanced the amazing proposition that the government should be more strongly centralized, and that should be done, not by amendments to the constitution through regular channels, but by decisions by the su preme court of the United States It Is no less a proposition than to have the supreme court actually su -persede the people in a momentous change in the civil fabric. It Is the most daring, as well as the most glaring plan ever suggested, and it came straight from the cabinet In which Mr. Taft was a member. It Is so unusual a suggestion that there are in this country millions of people with whom the appointment by Mr. Taft of four supreme justices is to be avoided rather than sought. Neither Mr. Taft's record on the bench nor his cabinet record is at all reassuring to those who want trial by jury, and who want the su preme court to be only a court of jus tice, ana not to oe the supreme court, the congress, the president and the people thrown In. what talents he has to the service of the railroads, the trusts, the preda tory interests, and evry big com bination designed to rob the people. THE BAD "SOIJII" HABIT M R. TAFT suggests to .south erners that it would be well fopthem and for the country If they would abondon the solid habit, would quit going always one way in elections and never under whatever circumstances giving a Re publican candidate a chance. We think Mr. Taft is right about this; that it would be better for the country and for the south itself If it would cease to make the negro the paramount and practically the only question worth considering. There is -no real occasion, even If they do regard that as the sole question, to vote Invariably for Democrats, Trom president down to constable, for so far as the negro is concerned Repub lican and Iemocratic administra tions have been and will be just alike. Mr. Taft would not help the ern state or two would go for Taft that is, if it would do so with the negro question eliminated and if a tew big northern stales would go for Bryan, just as an Intimation that it was time the people ruled more and the trusts and o,ther corporations less. Chairman Hitchcock is reported as saying that Taft's plurality in the electoral college will be equal to that of Roosevelt over Parker. Since no other candidate than Tart and Bryan will have a vote in the elec toral college, one of these two wiH have a majority, but no "plurality." Butside from this, Hitchcock's pre diction is silly. There is not an in telligent observer of politics in the United States who supposes that if Taft should be elected his majority would be as great as Roosevelt's over Parker. Oklahoma has come in since. Missouri will undoubtedly go for Bryan, and New York, Ohio. In diana. Kansas, Nebraska. Colorado and Montana, to mention no more, are now doubtful, to say the least. did verity, which I few Questions.

Now divorcing all tne powers of quackery and superstition of healing, there must remain In an underlying principle nf all mental healing, some sound principles which can be assimi lated by the ordinary mind, some vital thought that ordinary human beings are capable of apprehending and using. women need particularly, some sucu vital, active principle In their llves.for nearly all the ailments of women nre of nervous origin and could be largely con trolled if we knew now to apply tne principles of mental healing. Take, for Instance, the case of a wo man who has relegated to servants all the primitive functions of a female hu man being. A woman who neither spins nor cooks, nor tends the flocks nor tho babies who has no part In supplying the wants of her family. Necessarily since she has abandoned all these prim itive functions and industries she must have something else to occupy her thought, and the result Is that site fills her days with thoughts of herself what she slmll eat. and wear, and how Mr. Taft Roosevelt Taft pledged to admit the Japanes to full citizenship, to help m like the laws for laboring men?

This country has about 40 per cent of the banking power of the world, with the greatest money strength of any one natldn. There Is no reason why, with a guaranteed system of the depositories, It could not be made the money center of the world. Presidents do not make panics (or at least we trust they do not), but they can recommend a panacea to avert the too frequent depressions.

To the Kditor of The Journal I would like to reach, through your columns, a few hundred. at least, of the men who, like myself, years before any appreciable value at tached thereto, entered as homestead ers upon the public lands of Oregon. The great majority of us took up land with absolutely honest intentions to live up to the law as regards the ac quiring of homesteads and most every one ukl follow the law as he knew it or had had It explained to him. While there was no great value to the lands In question, patents were issued, hundreds of them upon far less satisfactory Bhowlng of good intention than any nomesteaaer wumn recent years would dare to presume would entitle him to patent. Within the last three or four years the hundreds of claims filed imon some of them as long ago aa eight or ten years, have become valuable, and in keeping with the customary methods or ma granci oia party" the land de partment began to cast about to see now the poor cusses' without money and without influence could be gotten out of the way and the valuable lands turned over to the friends of the afore said "G. O. Pi" the timber barons. It did not take long! Every one knows oi the hullabaloo hat was raised about "land frauds" In Oregon. While it hit some men who may have been guilty of fraud, It had the effect of scaring out hundreds oil men who had filed upon land, who wanted to be hon est, who wanted the start in life that Uncle Sam Intended to give them with 160 acres of land, but who saw the use lessness of wanting anything, under an aaminisiration eucn as we had, that the timber barons or land barons wanted Hundreds were "Jarred loose," and other nunareas or uh wno m our poor, simple faith In our great government, thought we nugni get justice, nung on. Some of us lived continuously on our claims tor five years land made final proof; some had to work at other tKI nirn to support families, so could not live there continuously, but complied with the law. Others lived a less reaulred time and commuted, paying a certain price per acre as required by law. au or us tried to live within thA law. Most of us have had our final proofs held up for years. In the mean time, scores have, under the nress of necessity, been compelled to relinquish for a mere pittance their right In what should give u man and his family a fair start In lne, a land made valuable by no oiiuriB ana muse or ins reilow en trymen. Against those of us who atiii' persisted In our simple faith, the de partment has actually Invited contests ana it is weu Known that men of money are backing contestors against us anil will get the land eventually If we ir.a n. .Our senators won't help us, our con gressmen can't convince an unwilling land department that we ought to have our mnas. wnai are we going to do Four yeara ago a sop was thrown to us in the shape of a promise to clear up ine iana matters right after election If Roosevelt was elected. They're handing It to us ajealn. This time a uuui'ii oi epeciai agents are "Investigat ing" again and perhaps a patent or two win oe jHNiiea to nil us with hone and keep us In line for "four years more" "i coniesi ngniing. Kour years ago hundreds of us voted for Riosevelt, be cause we believed we would get a square deal, but the nearest we got was mure inteniiaraiions ami more nearlnira Hut, Mr. tdltor, I have digressed somewhat from what I set out to say. I want to reach a few hundred, at least, of the men who have waited for rears for their lands and ask them what rea sonable homesteader expects justice from the present lend department? r irnuy rwnvincea mat all men who took up Ian in Oregon are rascal a and thieves. It Is throwing every possible obstacle In the way of our obtaining patents, while virtually winking st the efforts of the barons whose hireling's are contesting our claims Mr. Roose velt has done us no good and Taft he would probably say. if we. asked him what will be done with our claim: "God knows." And he night add: "I'll see how much the land barons who wast It have given to the campaign fund." I'm , i "r ui rnenre. A 8ILETZ HOMESTEADER. pledged to carry out the in lu inipram the tninirst enten rtlH- pollcies? Then is not Mr. Urrac with hir and there follows a ner vous restlessness which culminates in a breakdown and n flight to a sana torium? From a functlonlcss human being Bhe becomes n drag upon society and a burden to herself. Now what such a woman wants and needs Is not more pleasures and more luxuries, but the power lo set Ihe Rood out of what she ham. What Hhc neorts Is a mental revolution that shall give her some active interest in life. Or take the case of a man troubled with business cares who finds his abil ity to assimilate. food waning; Is trou bled with dyspepsia, nervousness, sleeplessness. Perhaps his system be comes so upset that bolls break out. What does he need most of all? Poul tices, stomach remedies, sleeping pow ders? Beyond the slight local relief that these things give, any reasoning person can see that they are -useless. What he needs Is the power of . mind that shall enable him to cast off his business cares during his leisure hours and obtain mental respite. The treat ment that will assure him that will re move the nervousness, the sleeplessness, will allow his stomach to assimilate food and will remove the cause of the bolls. Hence the value of mental healing. It enables the individual to get hold of a philosophy of life that gives him ascendency over his body. So, however the wonder working is wrought, from the spell of the ignorant darkey with her "conjur. to the fash ionably dressed attendants at Christian Science temples or conservative churches, the manner of tne miracle is the same. It Is wrougnt oy a tranquil, siratalning philosophy that dominates the hodv und id functions. Most of us. especially women, have a faith of some sort. But what do we do with it? Ijiv It awnv In tissue paper after the Sun- flav ae'rmon and never unwrap it until toext Sunday comes around? Or do we have It on all the time, a nusiaining. soothing, tranquilizlng. healing faith that leaves no room in the mind for envy, fear and all uncharltableness? What we really need, for the most part, is not a new religion, not even a courso In anvthing, but to use the faith that we' have and that we profess to find sufficient to meet and conquer the negative non-existent forces in the world. So, until we learn something more about the principles of this new method of healing let us resolve to do more with the faith and the philosophy that we have. ... If we believe fully and whole-hearted-lv that thin universe Is ruled by an om nipotent Providence, no careering hap hazardly down the ages: If we believe that our faith Is true and vital and not a mere illusion, men let. us gei mm vu that faith for ourselves, for ir tnese. things are so. worry and rear are wrong for us. for they denv tbe power and the compassion of a supreme ruler. 4,et us trust fullv. believe wholly, and fill our hearts with love. It is the perfect love which casteth out fear, and It Is fear which makes nerve weakness, and nerve weakness which is the basis of most of the ailments of womankind.
