The Poet believes that Uio matter of
gaining access to the president while he Is
acting In his official capacity it the Whlto
House should he moro difficult than at
prosenL To that extent It agrees with tho
Picayune In the belie that our homely cus-
toms which were proper enough half a cen-
tury ago might well be dlnpensed with-
Out It does not believe by any means that
the president of the United States should
be treated like a czar or a king and it does
not believe either that we have beeorae an
empire Websters dictionary dellnes the
word empire as the territory or countries
under the Jurisdiction of an emperor rare-
ly a king usually of greater extent than a
kingdom always comprising a variety In the
nationality of or the forms of administra-
tion in constituent and subordinate por-
tions Possibly the Picayune possesses a
now and revised edition of the dictionary
At any rate it is up to that paper to explain
jufct how when and why the United States
brcamc an empire

The Post believes that the person of the
president should be safeguarded to a reason-
able cxtout But It also believes that un-
usual and extreme precautions such as tho
Picayune and other papers have suggested
would have an effect exactly opposlto to the
one Intended In other words such precau-
tions would be a step toward a mouarchlal
form ot government which would bo resont

gravate the weakminded classes from which

The presidents carnage should not have

So we havo becomo an cmpisjefoh Wo

danger of assassination
The possibility ot accidents llko that at

From tha way in which the republican organs
are abusing Tom Johnson it is tolerably safe to
there is nothing that this government is capable
of giving that the working men could not secure j
if they voted together and this is true if a I
man s ballot wcc as sacred as it is supposed to
be Kxperienee has often proved that though
it vms known a town or city had elected a cer-
tain candidate > et on the count it has turned
out otherwise Why Because Ihe boxes have
been tampered with or enougli votes have been
bought to offset this result The use of money
at the poll or during a hot election has always
been the obstacle preventing the laboring men
receiving justice Have they not often said them-
selves There is no use in my voting for
my vole will be cast out or bought out With
the experience of the past before them it fs
anomalous for the Houston Labor Journal to
argue against the toll tax qualification The
laboring man docs not refuse to pay his poll tax
And if left to himself will not refuse to uie the
receipt as a qualification The amendment is
intended solely to protect him aud every other
honest cituen in his right by preventing the
purchase of otcs or the buying up of registra-
tion papers which if the amendment carries
will be done away with altogether The Labor
Journal says Once break the ice and make
the payment of one dollar a prerequisite to voting
ami It will open the way for making the posses-
sion of 100000 the prerequisite to the right of
suffrage This is a foolish argument for leaving
aside the fact that it is Impossible under the
constitution it can be said that the poll tax
amendment can not pass unlets the people vote
for it and neither can any other qualification
pass unless the people Vote for it The people
are asked to vote for the poll tax amendment
simply as a means of protection against the
frauds which havt so long injured them all over
the ceuntry and because of which they rare to
day suffering to an extent never before equalled
in any country The Labor Journal should give
this important subject greater attention aud
correct if it possibly can the mistake it has
already made

NOTE AND COMMENT
The following is extracted front a recent in-
terview with Mr W J Bryan printed in tfic
Cincinnati Enquirer
Are you in favor of again fusing with the
poind sis
I have always been in favor of a cooperation
with those who agree with us upon the issues
paramount at the time and I have no sympathy
whatever with the attempt now being made by so
he add denial of the existence of a system oi
election corruption and fraud so notorious that
Quay himself is forced to pretend to deplore
it and promise reform
The Montgomery Ala Advertiser Dcm pub-
lishes the following opinion The republican
newspapers of the West all express themselves
of course as being sorry that the president had
to abandon hi trip but wc can detect a quiet
but deep sigh of satisfaction over it Of course
they in common with all the American people
regret the causes which compelled him to re-
turn to Washington but weve no doubt that
most of them consider it a good thing politi-
cally
Explaining the fact denied by President Roosc
called democrat who voted the republican ticket veU altl Secretary Shaw that Standard Oil is
to drive away the allies who supported our party highly protected by the tariff the Milwaukee
when these men deserted us For all practical Free Press Rep tells how the provision was iu
purposes a populist who supported the democratic seried in the Dingley tariff bill It is so subtle
ticket is a better democrat than the socalled that it hardly
was suggested by auy c s an-
n ra 8 T leA hcrclubM i expert than Solicitor Todd of the Standard Oil

populists m more anxious to vindicate himself
than he it to strengthen the democratic party

Brian say Who is there that cansay truth-

What Protection has done for Texas in the
last decade is videnccd by the following inter-
esting comparisons In 1890 the value of

In 1890 the number employed in manufactures
was 34794 in 1900 481 it the wages pafd lu

The man who is not wiling to contribute a
dollar towards the support ol government or for
tho education of the children of the State could
hardly be depended on to cast a ballot that
would be in the best interest of the State or of
the local community Likewise it may be sajd
that the man who would rather not vote than
Pay a poll tax Adds nothing to the value of the
ballot in the aggregate so it would liot do any
harm to shut him out San Antonio Hxprcts
Well youve got that down fine Every citizen
who enjoys the protection of the govcrunlcnt
should be willing to contribute something to
the governments support The poll tax amend
ment shpuld be adopted

Senator Harris of Kansas is of like mind with
Senator Vest of Missouri that it would bo a
calamity to the party to have a democratic ma
jority in the next congress on the crbtmd that
possession of the houte would engender so many
squabbles as to endanger the result of the general
citation tu 1904 and Joe Mauley of Maine ex-
presses the opinion that it will be far better
Tor the republican party in the contest of 1004
if it should lose the present hovwc of representa-
tive nevcrthtets no candidates for congiess on
either side have been urging the vopulacr to vote
for the other fellow Fort Worth Register
Hie Post is unablo to recognise the logic of
the proposition that It would be a calamity to
the party to have a democratic majority in the
next congress Such an argument carries with
it the inference that the democrats arc incapable
which The Post does not believe And besidoa
the party needs a good sweeping victory to put
ginger and snap aud confidence in the rank and
file Another thing The Post doos not believe
that Senator Vest saltl anything ot the sort

When GJicral Atgcr takes his scat in the
senate it is hoped that he will soys the Charles-
ton News and Courier insist upon a congression-
al investigation of tho conduct of the Spanish
American war when he wa at the head of the
war department He was forced out of the
cabinet in answer to the demands of ai excitable
presi and he owes tt to himself to establish
by the most thorough investigation hi entire
innocence of the charges preferred against him
And If while clearing himself he could inci-
dentally convict General Miles much would be
forgiven him for hi maladministration of the
war office

Rather let u consider the history of our own

taken remedy controvert the facts as best he
can Here it has alwajs been a peace at any
price power except when the civil war came
and when the wealthier classes on both sides
believing their own Interests threatened loosened
their purse strings to save them With the ex-
ception too of Washington Morris and Carroll
it arrayed itself almost solidly against the revo-
lution So difficult It was for congress to raise
sufficient funds for the army that these three
patriots often had to equip and feed troops at
their own cost And so dangerous was the
influence of the wealthier classes so reluctant
were they to pay their taxes and so dissatisfied
were the troops at the failure to provide for
them that Washington felt compelled to have
several ringleaders of mutiny shot to prevent
the disorganization of his entire army The

Still later in i8u the money power had lost
none of its characteristics It prevented Jeffer-
son from promptly resisting the insulting aggres-
sions of England It prevented Madison from
prosecuting the war with vigor after the common
people had risen en mass and forced the con-
flict Then as in 17756 it was a party of
traitors It burned blue lights in Boston harbor
as signals to inform the British of the move-
ments of our ships It held a convention at
Hartford for the purpose of separating the New
England States from the Union and forming an
alliance with Great Britain It supplied the
enemy with native spies It even contributed
money to them and if it ever loaned money to
its own government it was a Shylock loan which
not only exacted a ruinous rate of interest but
the llcsh and blood of the borrower
Still later it opposed the Spanish war Cleve-
land wore it collar refusing to protect Ameri-
can citizen unlawfully and cruelly cast into
