The Courier notes Rev Torbet of the Methodist church praised British rule in India in a sermon referencing Rev Freese on India. It defends independence as a historical gain, cites a 1909 protest signed by 17 prominent Americans, and argues British rule harms Indian freedoms with claims of sedition prosecutions and censored press. The piece also questions Rev Freese’s Manila remarks and endorses Bryan as a strong voice on India.
A discussion of British administration in India argues the system favors England, drains Indian wealth, and denies Indian representation. It contrasts with Russia and notes heavy taxation, high home charges, and vast revenue outflows to Britain. The piece endorses Mr. Bryan and questions the virtue of British policy in India. It also mentions Spitzbergen ownership debates and a mix of political and local items.
A Burt Monitor and the J D M R are accused of partisan narrowness while the Algona Advance and the Courier are praised for broader vision. The letter argues Taft’s cabinet member admitting Democrat status will settle party lines and respect independence when principle is not at stake.
A heated debate ends with a House resolution to resubmit the prohibitory amendment now in the Senate. The move reflects ongoing tension over constitutional changes and echoes prior calls among members including our own representative who supports more prohibition measures.
