It i'A made up to attract people who think. Is not neutral or colorless, constantly trim- mini? in an endeavor to please both sides, but it is independent in the best sense of the word. It has pronounced opinions and is fearless in - expressing them, but it is always fair to its opponents. Matters of national or vital public interest (ret more space in THE TRIBUNE than In any other paper in the West. For these reasons it is the newspaper you should read during the forthcoming political campaign. THE TRIBUNE'S financial columns never mislead the public. Its facilities for gathering news, both local and foreign, are far superior to those of any other newspaper in the West. It presents the news in as fair a way as pos­ sible. and lets its readers form their opinions. While it publishes the most comprehensive articles on all news features, if you are busy the "Summary of THE DAILY TRIBUNE" --|>jublished daily on the first page gives you briefly all the news of the day within one col­ umn. Its sporting news Is always the best, and its Svnday Pink Sporting Section is better than any sporting paper in the country. It is the "cleanest" daily printed in the West.

(Justavus A. KoerneEof Belle­ ville, a leading,, influential* German, attorney and life-long Democrat, has come oat declaring himself for Mc- Kinley and the Philadelphia platform, as against Bryan and the socialistic platform adopted at Kansas City. Mr. 'voerner is a son of former Lieutenant Governor Koerner of Illinois, who was later minister to Kpaiui In his let­ ter, iMr. Koerner said. i& part: "I know of no party that has ex­ pressed a wish to change the form of government from a republic to an em­ pire, and no act of the administration of President McKinley has been point­ ed *>ut which would allow a reasonable man to harlwir a suspicion that such thought lias found lodgment there. The fact is this: The Democracy of 1000 clings to the idol set up in 189<>. I could not bow to it then, and repudi­ ate it i ow. The plan proposed by the Democratic platform for the disposi­ tion of the Philippine question does not command my unqualified approval. This plan first demands tiiat a stable government lie established for the isl­ ands. After the stable government is secured the Democratic platform pro­ poses independence of the islands. That means an entire withdrawal of our forces and an entire abandonment of American rights there, whatever they may be. .Judging from the past, the stable government which we are to introduce at so enormous a cost of life and treasure, will not last long after this withdrawal: and I can see no reason why we should engage In this gigantic enterprise to absolutely no purpose. But the Democratic plan goes much further. It intends that after we have thus established peace and order and have achieved, or. rather, granted this independence, we shall enter upon the Quixotic scheme of ever after protecting the Philippines from all outside aggression. It .seems to that we must, if we adopt this polif*y, anticipate to carry on war with all nations for 1.000 years, and all to no purpose, without interest to us. without any possible advantage to be gained." COMES OUT FOR M KINLEY, Noted Chicago German Veteran Will Work for Republican Victory. Roderick von Manstein of Chicago, one of the best known German- Americans in Illinois, has come out squarely for McKinley, Roosevelt, Yates and the whole Republican ticket, for whose success he will work ac­ tively until November. He served during the Franco-Prussian war as first lieutenant in the Fifty-eighth in­ fantry and was decorated with the or­ der of the Iron Cross for bravery. Mr. von Manstein is well known in Illi­ nois as president of the Society of Veterans of the German Army, which has a membership of over 20.000 in this state. He served two terms as chief of the map department of Chi­ cago under the late Mayor Harrison. Is a great admirer of Cleveland, but is strongly opposed to the popocratic 10 to 1 fallacy. _______ Was One of the Famous "101." Dr. John T. Pollock has announced that he will support McKinley and the Republican ticket this fall. For many years Dr. Pollock was a resident of Murphysboro and was known as one of the stanchest Democrats in the county. He was elected to the legis­ lature from that district and was a member of that body at the time Sen­ ator John -V. Palmer was elected to the Uuited States senate. Dr. Pol­ lock was one of the famous "101" who stood by the senator from the first to the last. The news of his conversion to Republican doctrines is a sad blow to Demacrats in that part of the state, who recognize the effect which the doc­ tor's example will have upon many wavering Democrats.
