By E. ‘¢. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapid TI Minnesota. as Second-Class Matter, The Roosevelt-Bryan Merger. In its issue of Wednesday, Decem- | ber 5th, the New York World printed an editorial entitled “The Roosevelt- Bryan Merger.” Readers who have ard Mr. Bryan's yiews bitterly zed by Republicans may be in- terested in the World editorial: ‘Mr. Bryan in bis Madison Square speech advocated a federal tax. Mr. Roosevelt in his message to congress advocates both a | federal income tax and a federal in- | heritance tax ‘when next our system of taxation is revised’—in the opinion income | of the World excellent and just miédsures: o Mr. Bryan advocated publicity of campaign ecntributions and expendi- tures and a law forbidding corpora- tion contributions to any political Mr. Roosevelé reuews his for- recommendation that congress enact such a law. “Mr. Bryan urged the enforcement of the criminal clause of the Sherman law against trusts. Mr, Roosevelt @ for the right of appeal in such criminal] cases on questions of law, ,ulding that itis absurd to permit a strict judge to declare a law ss unconstitutional against t might be the judgment of an majority of his colleagues ench, and then deny to the t the right to have the ourt definitely decide the Mr. Roosevelt also favors rense or new tria! granted | | a whole would pay for the accidents resulting from occupations that are necessarily hazardous. It is to be ase! sumed-that Mr. Bryan will sympa- thize with this extension of the social- istic principle. Whether he will also endorse the president’s recommend: ation for a federal marriage. and di-~ vorce law is more problematical, but there ig nothing in the suggestion that conflicts with Mr. Bryan’s theo- ries of government. “Mr. Rousevelt thinks the meat in- spection law should be amended to provide that the labels be dated and the cost of inspection charged to the packers. Mr. Bryan strongly favors this. ‘Mr, Roosevelt also argues at length to prove that the courts are entitled to no immunity from criticism, and that ‘the best judges have ever been foremost to disclaim sach immunity.’ Mr. Bryan has consistently adhered to this position ever since the supreme court declared the income tax uncun- stitutional, and the Chicago platform hinted at a reorganization of the court. “Mr. Bayan in turn recommended important measures which the presi dent ignores. He favored tariff re- vision, and the president's silence on the subject is oppressive. It ishinted, however, that the president intends to call the Sixtieth congress in extra Session to revise the tariff. Mr. Bryan also suggested yovernment ownership of railroads as a possible solution of a perplexing problem. Afterward he insisted that he was reaiJy no more | accomplish its purpese. Mr. Roose velt insists that regulation is already accomplishing its purpose, and that in the flye months since the rate law was enacted there has been a pre- viously unheard of number Of reduc- tions in freight rates. “Comparing Mr, Bryan’s Madison Square Garden speech with Mr. Ruose- velt’s message to congress the reader is forced ty the conclusion thatif Mr. Rooseveit would advocate tariff revis- ion and Mr. Bryan would stop adyo- cating government ownership of rail- roads they would be substantially in accord. Certainly two great political parties could not svecessfully divide kon the issue of the ‘peace with right eousness’ which comes from a big navy, oreven on the issue of a ship subsidy. Accepting Mr. Roosevelt and Mr, Bryan as the Deaders of their respective parties we defy anyhody to | say where the dividing line is beyond whicha voter has ceased to be a ; Roosevelt republican and become a Bryan democrat. ,There has been no such obliteration Of party lines in American politicsfor three-quarters of a century. “Tha gogue and the agitator.” Furniture for the Holidays ‘There is aothine: equal to a nice piece of Furnitute as a Christmas gift.
