because the Republican party was in
power nearly all the time. 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

'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.

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.

V ALL, the common blessings of
life, thoae that we take for
grunUd until we are deprived of
tham, probably none la Held more
lightly when we have ft and la
mented more bitterly when have It
not, than sound physical health. Some,
indeed, are not born to a heritage of
health and go mourning for It all their
days; others are born to It but ns saxiii
a they begin to legislate for themselves
they begin jo throw It away: others
have It in some measure, but fall lo
conserve It and pass on to a sickly
complaining nilddlu age and burden the
rest of their days with profitless mourn
ing for the boon that has departed.
In the discussion of the Jmmanuel
movement, which has been occupying
some prominence lately, one cannot but
be Impressed by tha fact that mankind
la looking for this priceless boon with
a longing and fervor far greater than la
exhibited for any other cause. One
minister aald:
'It seems sometimes aa If I were
preaching to a congregation of sick
people."
Jndeea, ir we were all to compare '
ymptomi and aliments, who would es
cape? We are not well as we ought to
be, not vigorously Bound, virile, full of
energy.
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

there was no great value to the lands In

What does he need most of all? Poul

What he needs Is the power of . mind
