SUBSCRIPTION--$5.00 PER ANNUM EVERY REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE A MIS- SIONARY. “The shallows murmur while the deeps are dumb” is a saying to be kept in mind in the present stage of the na- tional campaign. The firm, settled pur- ‘pose of the great majority of voters that Republican rule shall continue, that Taft and Sherman shall be elected president and vice president of the United States and that the candidate of free silver and free trade, of finan- cial chaos and public discredit, shall not be allowed to make the national government a subject for his mounte- bank schemes and crazy experimepts mecounts for much that is called apathy. A large proportion of the voters do not deem it necessary to advertise their own sanity by demonstrations such as have attended great crises in the past. They regard the two previous rejec- tlons of Bryanism as proof abundant that the coming election will go the same way and that the country is in no danger of surrender to the tiwice beaten charlatan, whose political rec- ord is the best evidence that he has no real principles and is willing to be anything that he thinks will tickle the galleries. That this feeling Is preva- lent is obvious to any one taking the trouble ‘to make personal inquiry among business men, workingmen and the professions. It is not well, however, that Repub- licans should be content with meaning to do right themselves. The number of those who are liable to be influ- enced by Bryan's sophistries, by his utterly unfounded but constantly re- {terated aspersions, hls plausible fal- lacies and deliberate falsehoods, al- though small as compared with the total of the electorate, is not to be ignored, and no effort should be spared to bring them to a due appreciation of their obligations to the country and to themselves. The time has come for every Republican to make himself a missionary In behalf of Taft and Sher- man, to speak out his own thoughts and to influence as far as possible the ‘opinions of others concerning the is- sues at stake in the pending cam- paign. The fact that intelligent citi- zens everywhere believe that Taft will be elected is not enough. The voting population includes a considerable pro- portion of those who require some stimulus toward a correct and compre- hensive grasp of what is at stake in the contest, of the widespread disaster that Bryan’s success would bring upon business, now happily emerging from recent depression; of the collapse of the structure of national credit that his mere presence at the head of the government would undoubtedly in- volve, of the utter untrustworthiness of the man and of his cowardly refuge 1n reckless denunciation and prevarica- tion te divert attention from his career of blundering egotism. Don’t rest with being right yourself. BSee that your neighbor is right. He will listen to you if you frame your arguments in frank and friendly esx- pression. Facts and reason are all with the Republican party and its chosen leaders, and a clear, temperate presentation of the facts cannot fail to impress. Every Republican, we re- peat, should be a missionary for the cause and the candidates of the Re- publican party and not of the Repub- lean party alone, but of a host of others who will help to swell the vote for Taft and Sherman, for efficient and impartial administration, for a “forward march” and not a retreat in the country’s progress at home and abroad—for, in a word, all that goes to make the United States the best country to live in on the face of the alobe. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] This weather does remind us that there are only eighty shopping days before Christmas. Most of us could forgive the man with the grouch if he would only keep his grouch to himself. Itis bard to tell which is the worse, the man who says fool things or the one that does fool things. Politics continues to make strange bedfellows, who are always kicking off the covers and having night- mares. Between a young man’sideal and the reality there is always a differ- ence of about fitty pounds one way or the other. The man that takes a cold bath every morning and the man that has his cellar full of ooal do a lot of || talking about their accomplishments. Next to telling the name of the Vice President of eight years ago, the hardest question to ask is what was the best selling novel two years| ago. The man who tells you what he would do if he were in your place re- setves the .right to come aroun after yon have made the mistake and say that he warned you. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has a job in a carpet works. Theodore, Sr., has had so many persons on the carpet that his son’s choice of em- ployment seems a fitting one.” DR. KOCH FAVORS " RIGID MEASURES Scientist Addresses Tuber- culosis Congress. i APPROVES NEW YORK PLAN Famous German Physician Believes in Compulsory Notification of Cases of Consumption and the Removal by Force, if Necessary, of Such Pa- tients as Are Dangerous to Their Immediate Neighbors. Washington, Oct. 1.—Dr. Robert Koch, the noted German scientist, de- clared before the sixth section of the International Congress on Tuberculo- sis that he always had regarded the work of the health authorities of New York city, under the direction of Dr. Herman M. Biges, general medical officer of the department of health of that city, in combatting tuberculosis a model to be followed by other mu- nicipalities. The hall of the new national mu- seum, in which Dr. Koch spoke, was crowded. Dr. Koch expressed the be- lief that the successful execution of the measures described by Dr. Biggs represented one of the most important features of the war against tuber- culosis. He expressed his admiration of Dr. Biggs’ work in New York city, especially in view of the extraordinary difficulties which confront the health board in the matter of immigration and in view of the extremely unfortu- nate conditions of life in overcrowded tenement houses. “But Dr. Biggs, with his orzanization of the New York board of health,” said Dr. Koch, “has conquered these difficulties and I con- DR. ROBERT KOCH. sider the methods carried out in New York city as exemplary, if not almost ideal.” The two most noteworthy of these measures, said Dr. Koch, are, first, compulsory notification of tuber- culosis, and, second, the removal by force, if necessary, of such patients as are dangerous to their immediate neighbors. Dr. Koch described the conditions existing ‘n Germany and explained that the problem which confronted the German authorities was that of seek- ing out cases of tuberculosis and of caring for them in their own homes, and, in so far as is possible, render- ing them harmless. Such regulations as exist in New York city, Dr. Koch sajd, were admirable—not that they should be exercised in many instances, but it had been found necessary to hold the threat of forcible removal of patients in order to make them com- ply with sanitary regulations. Dr. Koch said he was sorry that they were not so far advanced in Ger- many and that the sentiment of physi- clans and the public would have to be further educated. Dr. Koch expressed the hope that the day was not far distant when the example set by New York would be adopted in Germany, especially the rules regarding compulsory notifica- tion and the forcible removal of tuber- culosis patients. ROOSEVELT WILL NOT REPLY Says Bryan's Last Letter Was a Per sonal Attack. ‘Washington, Oct. 1.—President Roosevelt will not reply to the latest letter of William J. Bryan, given out by him at Rock Island, Ill. Secretary Loeb stated that the president felt {hat inasmuch as Mr. Bryan’s letter was simply an attack upon him per- sonally there was no reason why he should answer it. Warning Against Emigration. Vienna, Oct. 1.—The Austrian government is issuing repeated warn- ings against the emigration of its sub- fects to America and particularly to Pennsylvania. It describes conditions {n’ Pennsylvania as still bad and says Ahat further dismissals of laborers ,may be expected. BOLD ROBBERY AT CHICAGO Lone Bandit Holds Up Office Force of Factory. Chicago, Oct. 1.—A robbery that ‘Wwas at once so open, daring and mys- terious that it threw the police into a state of wonderment and doubt was committed by a lone criminal in the factory offices of the W. J. Dalton Manufacturing company. ! Lyng concealed in the vaulf of the office a robber, his face covered by a mask, attacked Henry Gibbs, super- intendent of the factory, as he opened the vault doors. Striking Gibbs a blow that sent him reeling across the vault the robber quickly shut and locked the outer, door, imprisoning him in the vault. As he started to flee with the pay- roll envelopes containing nearly $2,000 the robber was attacked by William Gallagher, the cashier. ‘Whipping out two revolvers the rob- ber backed Gallagher up against the side of the cashier’s safe, stripped him of his overcoat, went to the street and escaped, just as Miss Barbara Wal- ters, a stenographer, who had wit- nessed the robbery, was running to- ward the olter factory and crying to the workmen to come to the aid of the men in the office.

BRYAN ALWAYS HIS TEXT Tait Makesa Number of Careful to Mention Greatness of the Nebraskan and the Undoubted State Pride in Him—Democratic Candi- date Tours lowa and Everywhere Assails Roosevelt, Taft and the Re- publican Party Generally. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1.—William H. Taft began the second week of his campaign through the North and West by an advent into the home state of Bis chief opponent, William J. Bryan. The afternoon and evening were de- voted by the Ohioan to the Nebras- kan’s home town, where he made five speeches. Arriving at Lincoln at 3 o’clock Mr. Taft’s time was completely occupied until bedtime. In the series of short speeches made before Lincoln was reached, including Emerson, Wakefield, Wayne, Norfolk. Stanton, Wisnor, West Point, Scrib- ner, Hooper, Fremont and Wahoo, Mr. Taft never failed to make Bryan the text. In doing this, however, he was careful to mention the greatness of the Nebraskan and the undoubted state pride in him. In the course of one of his talks Mr. Taft said: “I come into the state of my op- ponent realizing the natural home pride that you take as Nebraskans in so distinguished a man, who has led the great Democratic party in two campaigns; to defeat, it is true, but nevertheless who had millions behind him. I hope and believe that the third time he will continue to lead these millions to defeat, but nevertheless I am here realizing that you take great pride in him. I am speaking to an ! audience of men who for the last twelve years have enjoyed prosperity unequalled in the history of the coun- itry and I wish to ask them whether the recollection of the last Democratic pdministration, in which the passage of the Gorman-Wilson tariff bill was largely through the instrumentality of Mr. Bryan, there is anything in the conditions that existed then that at- { tract them to make a change from the Republican administration under which they have enjoyed such pros- perity to a Democratic administra- tion, under which they had the bur- den of 50-cent wheat, 20-cent corn and 10-cent oats.” BRYAN AGAIN IN I0OWA. Assails Roosevelt, Taft and Repub- lican Party Generally. Oskaloosa, Ia., Oct, 1.—Assalling the president, Mr. Taft and the Re- publican party generally at every turn ‘William J. Bryan, on the concluding iday of his present tour, traveled ihrough Towa on his way back to Lin. coln. His progress across the state has been marked by a series of dem- onstrations which were nothing short of ovations. The entire community at every point where his train stopped seemed to turn out to do him honor. In his speeches he was more vigorous than uspal..

Mr. Bryan said that Mr. Taft, if elected, would be unablé.to accomplish any reforms even with a Republican congress be- hind him. He talked at Muscatine, Letts, Columbus Junction, Washing- ton, Westchester, Harper, Sigourney and several -other places en route here. | < <At Washington he was presented by a-woman in the crowd with a “Teddy bear,” one leg of which was broken and done up in splints. “Badly crip- pled,” was the candidate’s comment. This veiled reference to the president get the people to laughing. While speaking at Harper a bride and groom got on the train and when he came back into ‘the car Mr. Bryan handed the bride a bouquet which he had re- ceived and which she bashfully ac- cepted and this furnished another in- cident of the trip. MAY 00 SO LATER IN THE GAMPAIGN Ronsevel{ Has No Present In- tention of Taking Stump. ‘Washington, Oct. 1.—Secretary Loeb made the statement that Pres- ident Roosevelt had no intention at present of making a speaking tour in behalf of the Republican candidate for the presidency. Many invitations had been received by the president, Mr. Loeb said, but Mr. Roosevelt never has stated that he would take the stump. When asked whether, if the situation took such a turn that the president might consider that making a speaking tour would materially aid the Republican cause, the president in that event would take the stump Mr. Loeb replied that he might or might not do so and added that no one could tell what the future would bring forth, Plan Canal Across Michigan.
