LET US HAVE PEACE
MtVernon Ky Nov 7th 1908
The Battle of Ballots has beenfought the victory won and sooverwhelmingly in favor of Taftand what he represents that thereis uo room for a squabble over
doubtful states as was the case in
the HaysTilden campaign of i876
In the defeat of Win JenningsBrvan there is no ground far ex-
ultation¬
anywheie He stands forthe noblest type of Americancitizenship It does not follow
that because he has been defeatedany principle of popular gqvenment has suffered defeat On thecontrary the main principle theunderlying principle of a gpvernment of tht people bv the peoplefor the people ofwhich he is a
staunch exponent was tever moreclearly set forth than in the pres ¬
ent campaign Nor is Mr Brananymore the exponent of thtprinciple than Theodore RooseveltWhether the presidentelect Willlam Howard Taft shall be strongelthan the leaders in the nationalassembly opposed to the reformsproposed and set in motion by hispredecessor remains to be seenWhether or not Wm H Taft cancause a revision of the tariff as hehas promised also remains to beput to the test
It would be preposterous to sup-
pose that any adjustment of thetariff tup or down will meet theapproval of the extremists on eitheiside nor that will exactly suit bothfactions in either side nor thatwill reconcile nor that will
exactly suit both factions in eitherparty There will be difference ofopinion on this question as onevery other topic in our nationalpolitics and the honest convictionsof the leaders in politics usuallyformulate these differences andmake them principal elements innational politic arid party platforms Around these planks as
t icy are called with the leadersstanding on them are waged thepolitical battles fierce and strongand any arguement that has anysemblance of truth and some thathave none are injected into thespeeches and campaign litetaturefor all they are worth So theresult is in almost every electionwe have a campaign of educationthat reaches the humblest andleist informed voter in the countryin some measure while the peoplewho can read and think for them ¬
selves may choose as between thepolicies of the various parties now
representedTheremarkable part of the
campaign just closed is the fact ofsuch similarity in the policy out ¬
lined in the national platform ofthe two great parties respectivelyToomuch space would be requiredto give in detail the agreement ordifferences of the two platformsonly in a general wayto affirm that practicallythe Democratic platform andMr Bryan in his speeahes pledgedthe good faith of the Democraticparty to carry out the most im ¬
portant oi the reforms begun by theRepublican party under McKinleysand Roosevelts administrationWhether or not the laws pertainingto interstate commerce are justand wise remains to be seenWhether the combination of capitalcalled Trust is an unmixed evilhas not been proven It is notdenied it cannot be successfullydenied that the corporations haveenabled the public to secure betterarticles and cheaper according toquality than was possible jn thegood old times It cannot bedenied that under the Protectivesystem the United States hasbecome the leading nation inagriculture manufactures andcommerce and a world power look ¬
ed up to and respected bv everynation on the globe It does notfollow however that the same resultmight pot have been attained insome other way under democraticrule The pi ogress of the UnitedStates since their independenceand consolidation into a Federalgovernment has been onward andupward and if you please thegreatest expansion as a result of
war occurred under democraticadministration and next to theLouisiana burchas a peaceabletransaction the greatest expansivemovement itshistory In closingthis subject it may be said t1atnot ¬
withstanding the defeat of MrBryan there was no defeat to what ¬
ever principle he edvocated thatwas vital to interests of Americancitizenship
Since his first campaign greatchanges have arisen in Americanpolitics amounting to a revolutionin which the masses led chiefly byPresident Roosevelt are arrayedagainst the monopolistic tendenciesof various combinations of capitaldesignated by him as predatorywealth or the combination ofc ipital in restriction of trade Thedepartment of commerce and laborhas been created and with it thegreat question regulating inter ¬
state commerce A questionpractically new in our history nowonder then that men differ in de ¬
gree and manner of meeting thesegreat questions affecting the interests of every citizen ot the nationAside from home half truths circu ¬
fated for the purpose of defeating61 insuring the election of eitherthe campaign was remarkably freefrom personal abuse and vituper-ation
¬
headed as each ticket wasby grand men honest men eitherofwhich would make an honorablerespectable president of the greatest and grandest nation on earthHurrah for our free country Godsave our presidents Let us havepeace-

THE AMERICAN TOBACCO CO
The decision bv a vote of four toone ofthe Judges ol the UnitedStates Circuit Court of Appealssitting at New York that theAmerican Tobacco Company is a
I
combination in restraint of tradeis the biggest thing yet accomplish ¬
ed by the Government in its fighton corporations that make a prac¬
tice of violating the Sherman actThe case is still to go to the Su ¬
preme Court there to be decidedon the law and the evidence fordespite Mr Roosevelts efforts todestroy popular confidence in theintegrity of that court belief thatit will weigh fairlv and decidejustly has not been shaken Thehope however that the SupremeCourt will sustain the derision ofthe Circuit Court seems not un ¬
reasonable The case against theAmerican Tobacco Company hasbeen prepared and argued by MrReynolds for the Government withless of a desire to make politicalcapital than to establish his con ¬
tention in the minds of the Judgesthat the tobacco trust is operatingrestraint of trade
