WEEKLY ESTABLISHED 1869. D.E.M'KINLAY'S YOLO SPEECH National Issues not Discussed With Frankness 1 WOODLAND. CALIFORNIA. FltlDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1008. Kan Eemarkfble Tha What He Said Wai What He Left Unsaid The purpose of this article is to dea with Congressman McKinlay'B speec at Yolo.

We respectfully ask our Republican friends to read. It througl carefully for we expect to show tha lie was not frank In hla discussion jj public," questions; that he did not stat -the" situation fairly and that lie gav tKe Republican, party credit for it did not do-and charged the Demo cratlo party with things it is in way responsible for. Mr. McKtalay called attention to th of the Republican party to con tlhue its support of President Roose policies, and then made a pretense of defining those policies, firs generalizing them under the rathe vague head of "Internal reform." Late he specialized -the 'inatter by mention ing only such measures as both partle "agreed upon, and which received th of men of all parties. For in stance, he declared that the pure food law, the slxteen-hour railroad bill, th employers' liability bill, the packing iouae measure defining the ag at wnich children may be employed the reclamation law, and other mat tera about which there is no difference of opinion, are the features-of th president's policies.

He utterly Ignored all mention the president's distinctive policies, ev eryone of which is Democratic, anc everyone of which had been advocatec by Mr. Bryan In previous campaigns Mr. McKtnlay correctly stated tha unexplred term 'ot the lati President McKinley, President Hoose veil endeavored to contiuuo the poll cies of his predecessor, but that in 1905, after his inauguration, he In'au surated ra41cal policies of hie own That is true and that is why Presiden Roosevelt waa for a time so popular with Democrats. -For instance, In special messages advocated an income-tax, an Inheritance tax, the physical valuation of the direct primary law an; many other reforms, all of which teen planks in national Democratic platforms four, eight or twelve years previously. It will be remembered that on the 31st' of January President Roosevelt sent a special message to congress urg- ing the enactment into laws of cer- Vl tala of his policies, and that a Republican, congress did not even read ft Two months later thlp message was referred tol various committees, but no action was ever taken.

Mr. Williams leader of the minority, pleaded for -thirty Republicans to with the solid minority to take up the President's policies, appea" -was made in vain. Every one of these distinctive Roose- veltlan policies was presented to the Republican national convention, and one. of them was rejected by an overwhelming majority. The Democratic "platform endorses the income tax.

The Republican platform is silent The Democratic platform endorses, the election of senators by a direct vote of the people. The Republicans rejected such a plank by a vote of 866 to 114. The Democratic platform favors a publicity of campaign funds. The Republican platform such a plank by a vote of 880 to 94. Democrats favor the elght-hou day on all government work.

The Republicans are silent. The Democratic platform favora the physical valuation of railroads. The Republican convention rejected a similar plank by a vote of 917 to 93. Mr. McKinlay referred to the extension of the powers of the Interstate commerce commission and the regulation rate bill as a part of the president's policy, but he did not explain that the rate bill was opposed by a very large majority of the Re- publican senators and favored by practically all the Democratic senators.

True enough It was the president's rate olllbut no Republican senator would father it and after the president had appealed to Senators Bailey and Tinman, the latter consented to become -sponsor for it. Tlie president wanted the law amended so as to increase and enlarge the powers of the Interstate commerce commission. The Democrats Ui their platform endorsed the president's policy'but Republican platform utterly Ignored It: But Mr. McKlnlay'8 speech was more remarkable for the things omittei to discuss than for those he did discuss For ISWance, the Democratic platform opposes the admission ot Astatic Im migrants who cannot be amalgamate! with our population. The Republica platform la silent, and Mr.

McKlnla has not and will not discuss Aslat exclusion for tha reason that he knowi that President Roosevelt, In a specla message to congress, urged the enae ment of a law authorizing the natura izatlon of Japanese, and characterlzin the sentiment in California against th naturalization of Japanese as a sur mark of low. civilization, a low mora ity. McKinlay dodged that issue, to the further reason that Mr. Taft la record as favoring the modification the Chinese exclusion act and he ha designated those who have vigoroual opposed any modification as uureaaon able and deeply prejudiced. Mr.

MoKInlay ridiculed the idea tha Mr. Roosevelt ever borrowed any his policies from Mr. Bryan, and was particularly severe on Mr. Brya because he wants trusts broken up placing their products on the free list Let us see about this. In 1886 Mr Bryan said: "The tariff laws skouli be so amended by placing the product of toe trusts on the free list to pre vent monopoly under the plea of pro tection." In 1908, Mr.

Roosevelt wrote: "I ad vocals the reduction of the tariff upo tha articles coming into eompetitioi with the articles controlled by th trusts." On the Philippine question Mr. Bryan Jaid in 1908: "I believe that we shoul do to the Philippines as we have don with Cuba, and that it le our duty tw make that promise now, and upon a suitable guarantee of the protection American and foreign residents to giv the Philippines their independence. One year later "President Roosevelt writing on the same question, said "I belie've in the ultimate independenc of the Philippines." Concerning the income tax, in 190 position was as follows "I believe in the income tax ns a meth od of raising revenue for the govern ment." In a message in 1907, Presiden Roosevelt wrote: "I wish to again urg upon you the necessity of some form of taxation upon the incomes- wealthy corporations and individual in comes." As early as J906 Mr. Bryan said in relation, to the control of railroads "Wa demand tlie enlargement of the powers of the Interstate commerce, commission, and such restrictions am guarantees in the control of railroads as will protect the people from rob bery and oppression." Two years later, Mr. Roosevelt said 'It especially necessary that some representative of the national government have full power to deal with the great corporations engaged in interstate commerce, especially the grea interstate common carriers." Mr.

Bryan in 1906 opposed government by injunction, and said: are opposed to government by injunction, aa our support of the senate bil prohibiting it will show. That bil meets my approval." Mr. MeKinlay ridiculed this position iut President Roosevelt said as late is this year: "I call your attention to the need of some action In connection with the abuse of the injunctions in labor cases." In relation to trusts Mr. Bvyan said 1896: "The Democratic party is op josed to trusts. It would be recream its duties to the people if It recog- med.even the moral or legal right ol those great corporations to stifle competition, bankrupt rivals and prey upon society." In 1908 President Roosevelt In one of his messages, said: "The' fortunes imassed by these corporate institu- and trusts make it necessary for government to have some control of Such monopolies are wholly inconsistent with human liberty and not to be tolerated by a free people." In 1896 Mr.

Bryan pu himself on as follows: "I favor the re-enactment of the Employers' Liability aw." Mr. Roosevelt likewise put himself on record, but not until-a year Jater as follows: "I favor the Immediate reenactment of the Employers' Liability aw. Mr. McKinlay tried to poke fun at tfr. Bryan by accusing him of chang- ng hla issues every election.

As an avldence of this he cited hia advocacy of the free coinage of silver. The only answer necessary to this is to remind Mr. McKinlay that he made; if not the irst, one of the first speeches ever made in Napa county in favor of free liver; that he hired his own hall for hat purpose; that as soon as Mr, Mc- Klnley was nominated on a gold IIMMMIIIMI COFFEE Insist on the roaster's name; never mind the country it grew or is said to have grown in.

DECEASE OF A PIONEER The Passing of Janes William Ms In Sacramento For a Great Many an Citizen of Yolo 81 Yean Old A telephone message was received a this office Thursday evening, annoiinc ins the death in Sacramento of Jame William Chiles.

The news created surprise, as his health had been faillu. for several years. He passed away "peacefully at th residence of his daughter, Mrs. Thoma Ross, 1C 13 street, Sacramento, abou 15 minutes to 4 o'clock in the after noon of 22d The body will brought to Wood land and the funeral will take plac from the residence of T. B.

Gibson a i o'clock Saturday afternoon. Th body will be laid to rest in the family plot in the city ceuietory, beside tha of his wife. Deceased was born In Mercer county Kentucky, September 27, 1827. He wa therefore 81 years and 25 days old. was' the youngest child and only son Thomas aud Isabella Ohiles.

He tun, four sisters, all of whom precede! him to the grave. Mrs. W. B. Gibson of this city ig the daughter of one his sisters.

While he was quite young his par ents removed to Missouri and he remained there until he came to Call forula. In the meantime war was de clared between the United States an; Young Chiles joined the Am erican army as a teamster at the age of 17. In 1849 Mr. Chiles joined a companj which crossed the plains. He arrived In Sacramento on the 29th of Septem ber of that year.

He remained in Sac ramento several months and.then went to the mines for a short time, after which he returned to Sacramento. He was engaged in running a ferry across the Sacramento at the time of the big flood. In 1S51 he 1 bought what as the Comstock ta'rni on the-Yolp side of the river. In 1861 he voted for the first time In when a gubernatorial election'was held. In 1856 he sold the Comstock farm and bought'a farm Winters and About: twenty-five years ago lie purchased a farm two miles west of Woodland; which he owned at the time of death.

On the 12th of August, 1856, he married to lira Elizabeth Hill whose maiden name was Barnes. She died at home of her'daughter, Mrs. Thomas Rasa, in this city on Wednesday, May 1890, and was burled.pn May 25th the 67th anniversary of birthday. To them waa born one daughter, Mrs. Thomas Hoss, who now lives In Sacra- nento.

Mrs. Chiles had another daugh- -by first husband, who is now Mrs. Edna Barlwur ot Suisun. Mr. Chiles was sorely affjlcted dur- ag iifs last years but he bore his affliction patiently.

Twenty-five years ago his sight began to fall and during he last fifteen years of his life he was otally blind. After the removal of Dr. Ross and 'amily to Sacramento he spent most of his time with them and the last 'ears of his life he made his home al- ogether with his daughter, who did all that filial love could suggest to make, his, last days comfortable and and gave him devoted atten- ion during his last Illness. In point of residence Mr. Chljes was one of the oldest citizens of Yolo county.

All the old residents knew him well, but strange to say, when it came furnishing dates and incidents from vhlch a biographical sketch might be prepared they could furnish but little iccurate information. All of them say, however, that while he was a man of positive convictions, marked peculiarities and some eccen- rlcltiea he was scrupulously honest In all his dealings with his fellow men. Je was a man of strong intellectuality and before he lost his sight was well posted on the current topics of the day. He wns one of the pioneer settlers the county, most of whom have gone and it Is a matter of regret that there is no record of his experi- ncea and observations, for there la no oubt that' the history of the county would bo greatly enriched thereby. It Is pathetic that his eyes In his old ge 'could not look untlimrued upon he greatness and glory of the county, achieving which he had borne so arge a part.

Mrs. Ross and her children are the ast of his relatives living. He died possessed of.the riches of their love. They have the deepest sympathy of heir many friends. FAHCY SHOOTING Captain George E.
