BRYAN'S VIEWS
About the Charges of Roosevelt
* Against Senator Tillman.

The (?reat Commoner Says the Sennti.v

That Roosevelt Tried to Ituin llim
Hotuusc lie Has Dared to Criticise
Some of His Arts.
Washington, Jan. 25.?The reputa&on
of William J. Bryan for hones..
fidelity to convictions prevents
anyone, even of his bitterest political
foes, front believing for a moment
that lie would defend a dishonest
public man or an act which
is inimical to the public welfare.
The following comment in the Commoner,
Mr. Bryan's paper, concerning
the recent eollission between
Senator Tillman and the president
are of more than ordinary interest.
The Commoner says:
vThe president's attack on Senator
Tiv tati forcibly recalls the graphic
language employed by the Nazarene,
recorded in Matthew 23:2-1: "Ye
blind guides which strain at a gnat
and swallow a camel," this little
verse is wedged in between two verses,
both of which begin, "Woe unto
you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites."
Of what is Senator Tillman
guilty? The president charges that
Mr. Tillman denied that he had
"undertaken" to purchase any land
connected wnn tne tract which lie
was endeavoring to have restored to
the public.
The correspondence shows that
Mr. Tillman had expressed a desire
to have some land reserved for itiinself
and members of his family. Mr.
Tillman declares and there is nothing
to dispute it. that while he had
contemplated the purchase of land,
he had not completed tlie transaction
and that he finally decided not to do
so. It might have been better if,
instead of UHing the word "undertaken,"
he had gone into detail and
told the senators what correspondence
he had had.
But in view of the fact that the
purchase of the land, and even if
it had been made, would not have
been a violation of the law, and considering
the further fact that nothing
Mr. Tillman %could have said
would have affected the subject un
der discussion, it is not fair to condemn
him. lie declared in his statement
before the senate that he had
told the attorney general that he
had considered the purchase of some
of the land. The attorney general
does not remember the conversation
exactly as Senator Tillman does, but
even the attorney general's statement,
as it stands, is sufficient to
corroborate tlie testimony of Senator
Tillman.
We may reach the time when
public sentiment will condemn participation
by any legislator in the deciding
of any matter in which he has
the slightest pecuniary interest, but
that is not the law today, neither is
it public opinion. A large number
of the senators and members of congross
are interested in national
banks as stockholders, directors or
officials and yet no question is raised
about their speaking and voting upon
measures affecting the national
bank.
Senator Piatt, of New York, is
interested in express companies, and
yet he takJfi. an active part in the
consideratiAft and decision of questions
affecting postal rate which
come into competition with express
rates. Many of the senators and
members are interested in railway
companies, and yet they take an active
part in the consideration of rate
legislation and railroad regulation.
Many of the senators and members
are interested in manufacturing enterprises,
and yet they speak and
vote upon the tariff laws which directly
affect their business.
Senators and members are interested
in corporations known as
trusts, and.^'et they take part in the
considerate i of measures affecting
the trusts. Judges often hold stock
In railroads which have cases before
them. Why this singling out of
Senator Tillman for anathema? If
no one could cast a stone unless he
himeslf was free from sin, Senator
Tillman would have few accusers
In either hody.
Senator Tillman was endeavoring
to recover for the public a largo
tract of territory which a railroad
company was, in his opinion, unlawfully
holding. It would have been
better, as it now appears, if ho had
* never thought of purchasing, for the
president's criticism will go farther
than Senator Tillman's defense can
reach, and Jt}ie senator will he condemned
by\ any who will forever
remain ignorant of facts. But is the
senator's usefulness ended because
of this? He immediately called attention
of the misuse of his name in
this connection and protested against
the attempt of speculators to use him
to practice a fraud upon the public.
Measured by the rules that are
HIGHWAY ROBBERY
ANI) MUKDKK COMMITTED I1Y
RUSSIANS NKAH LONDON.
The During Robbers Injured Twenty
, I
of Their Pursuers and One of
Them Killed Himself.
London, Jan. 26.?Three persona
were killed and twenty-one injured
at Walt hamstown, a suburb of London,
as the result of a sensational
attempt made Saturday by two Russians
at highway robbery. The men
were run down and surrounded by
a posse, and one of them finally committed
suicide. The other attempted
suicide but did not succeed although
he is now lying in a critical
condition at Tottenham hospital.
Two of their victims, a policeman
and a boy of ten, lie dead, while
five of the injured are in a hospital
seriously wounded.
London is breathless at the sensational
.introduction into its precincts
of Russian revolutionary methods.
One of the revolvers used by
the mod was found to be the same
type as that used by Russia revolutionists,
having a large butt with
rest, a long, narrow muzzle, and tiring
bullets of the soft nosed, expanding
mauser pattern.
The bandits held up an automobile
containing the employes' wagon
at the entrance to the Rubber Works,
at Walt hamstow n, and made off
with the money. 'I hey were followed
by a few employes and a gradually
increasing crowd of police and civilions,
few of whom were armed.
The police jumped aboard a trolley
car, and the bandits finding themselves
closely pursued, jumped
aboard another car and forced the
driver, with a revolver at his head,
to send his car along at full speed.
One of the men ran to the rear of
tiie car and repeatedly emptied his
revolver at the pursuers. Re-inforceinents
of armed police on foot, bicycles
and on horse back, joined in
the chase and fussilades were exchanged
for a distance of a mile.
The car went thundering down the
track with the mounted bicycle police
straining every effort to keep
uu with the pacemakers. Nearing
the Tatenham marshes the bandits
made the motorman slow down and
jumped off, seized a milk cart and
made for the country district. An
automobile was pressed into service
by the police and it was rapidly overhauling
the assassins when they took
to the marshes.
The pursuit through this troachous
ground was a difficult one, but
eventually the police succeeded in
the overtaking one of the men who
finding his position hopeless, turned
niH weapon upon hlmsclt mulcting
a dangerous though not a fatal
wound.
The other man, failing to reaeh
Eping forest, took refuge in a cottage,
which the police, now re-inforced
hy huckshoters who were in
the vicinity, first fnsiladed and then
stormed. They found the assassin
dead on the floor, he having sent
a bullet into his own head.
applied to other senators and members
of congress, he has not sinned
at .all; measured by the most exact- i
ing rules, his offense can not be con- I
sidored a grave one. Why should
the public forget his long career of
honesty and fair dealing? A man
charged with a crime is entitled to
the bene fit of his record, not only to
mitigate his punishment, hut to explain
any transaction that is eapa
iiit.- ui i \\ o nnihi i iiv*iM/iio. nriuuui
Tillman has boon in public life for
many years and his name has stood
as a synonym for integrity.
No matter how men may have differed
from him i\i opinion, they have
conceded to him honesty of pur- j
pose and fearless in his attacks upon
wrongdoing. Is it possible that, a
man with such a career can be seriously
damaged by such an indictment
tis the president brings against
him?
If Senator Tillman was a university
president or tin expert in the
use of language there might be
more reason to question his good
faith when he used the word "undertaken,"
but those who have in the
past found fault with him because
he lacked college polish ought not
to judge him too technically in the
selection of words.
Hut what shall we say of the
president? Is he entirely disinterested
in picking out Mr. Tillman for
denunciation? It is a matter of
copimon knowledge that Mr. Tillman
is the only senator from whom the
president ha? withdrawn an jnvitatlon
to the White House and it is
also known that Mr. Tillman has
used emphatic language in criticising
certain acts of the president.
One must give these facts weight
in considering why the president has
attempted to destroy Mr. Tillman's
standing among his associates. These
may have made the president forget
that Senator Tillman championed the
rate bill when Republican leaders
fought it.

should be voted one of tho Carnegie

KILLED IIV ALCOHOL.
Four Soldiers Drunk Liquid and Two
Are Dead.
Wilmington, Del., Jan. 25.?Two
soldiers are dead at Fort Dupont,
near Delaware City, and two others
will probably die from drinking a
pint of denatured alcohol. The
names of the dead soldiers are Albert
10. Grab a m and Martin Harry.
The post-oiurtum in each case clearly
determined the cause of death.
It was believed until tonight that
Freeman and Albright, who also took
some of the alcohol, would recover,
but they have become delirious.
