All that intelligent democrats ask
from government is the maintenance of

the responsibility that always charac-
terizes dependents. To be free. men
must be responsible, and responsibility
decreases as dependence increases. To
democrats it is an axiom that those who
depend on government must be OPP
pressed by II and must Cypress others.
II is believed that men, when enforced
Ivy government, have good enough in
them TO help each other, and that the

them willingly and TO prevent them
from helping others. THE best pos
sible government at any given time is
the least government ut that time pos
sible. That is American democracy.
The parties which have opposed de-
mocracy all had the same governing
impulse-that of distrust of the capac-
ity of the individual to become respons-
ible; To govern himself; To help himself.
This impulse can and does exert itself
bencvolently, but always Progressively

Characteristic Qualities of the Two Lead
Ing Parties.
II Is often said that "the tariff is the
only point of difference between the
Two great parties, but IL shows great
ignorance of human nature To say so.
Parties in this country and every other
represent tendencies of human nature.
The democratic party in America is an
expression of the tendency To seek
progress through the greatest possible
liberty of individual action. Its i'm
pulses are all in the direction OF the
fullest possible expression for the good
in human nature. Its fundamental be-
lief is that as men are made frccr they
will make themselves better. II takes
full cognizance of the evil in human
nature and holds that the sole iustifi-
able purpose of government is TO check
It. But IL relies on the good, and be-
lieves that the evil can only get and
keep the upper hand in any man or in
any number Of them when they are
made irresponsible by some process of
repression; of oppression, under which,
being held as irresponsible, they have

greatest capacity for bascness only

THE OLD TAVERN.
Two Children Who Captured n
Desperate Criminal.

Twenty years ago, before so many
railroads were built, there was u great
deal of travel over the old trail which
runs through the mountains of north
ern Georgia into Tennessee. This was
sufficient excuse for the existence of
the old Blue tavern, crowded into Il
niche high up on the mountain side,
just at the beginning Of Iluttcrs gap.
IL was huge, rambling old affair in
wild, desolate spot, well sheltered
from the piercing north winds and
driving SHOWS OF winter by immense
rocks which lowered above il ON that
side. commanded n fine view of the
valley below and the trail leading To
inhabited regions was visible for miles
from its windows. Who had first built
and inhabited the old rookcry no one
living could remember, but il was now
the property of John Hardin, who, with
n son, daughter and two negro servants,
made of IL II home.
In the summer II was not bad place

that way and remained To explore the
surrounding valleys, finding many IA

weeks no human being passed that

Sarah, the daughter of the house,

had no remembrance of any other

the red lamp which he knew indicated the
place of a fire escape. The door of the
room beside it was open. In the room the
gas was burning full head; on chair was a
pile of clothing. He ran to the window,

How the Moral Waves Wave,

There is something singular in these spas
modic official awakenings. The Goulds and
McGlorys spring right out of them. In a
few months some reporter has paragraph
about the resort A few months later the
'splace" is reported to the police. The po-
lice investigate and report ''no evidence.
In the meantime the place becomes known
from Bangor, Me-, to Brownsville, Tex. and
people from out of town on drunk can
find it any hour of the day or night without
a guide. 1t runs all night and Sundays.
Scores of imitstors spring up in every di-
rection. There is not man-about-town, q
newspaper man, a cab driver, rounder of
any degree, but is perfectly familiar with
the facts. 1t is the police authority alone
that is ignorant. A few months later some
body who has been knocked down or robbed
in the "place" makes loud complaint.
Then the newspapers take another whack
at it. Whereupon the police authority
saws 'du tellP' 1t is astonished- amazed.
It sends for tine captain of the precinct. The
captain of the precinct is also astonished-
also amazed. He will inquire into it at
once The newspapers print the interview
between the police authority and the captain
of the precinct in full. The captain of the
precinct talks to the reporters freely
which is also printed. Then special detail
is instructed to look into the "place" 3"
They find nothing wrong about the 'place. B."
So far as they can see it is nothing but an
ordinary, respectable eating house with the
usual all-night constituency. In few more
months man is murdered in the "place."
Then comes a perfect storm of indignation
from all sources. Then some arrests are
made Prosecutions begin. Organized raids
are made on the scores of imitators and
everybody marvels that such a state of
things can be. The moral wave sweeps
over the city and engulfs all transgressors
who have unheeded the repeated mutterings
of the coming storm. A month or so later
all is forgotten-the 'place" starts quietly
ND again and the whole social scheme Is
worked over once more. That is the way
it is in New York.

Pinss and Cigarettes Barred.

The pipe habit bids fair to rival the nuis-
ance of the cigarette habit in New York.
The pipe habit is too deucedly English,
don't you know, and for this reason, COM
bined with the economical feature, il is
likely to become popular. 1t is not un-
common to to see swell gentlemen about
town on upper Broadway putting the fra
grant briarwood This imitation of the Strand
and London clubs was practiced to some
extent last year, but the notice 'No pipes
here" in certain chophouses affected by
swelldom had the decided tendency to choke
off the innovation. If fellah couldn't 1t
lis pipe in lis chops, y'know, where could e
'it it. y'know? But there are chophouses
and cafe managers who are dead set against
hitting a pipe in their places, and it is al
Ieged that a fashionable club has interdicted
the pipe in certain rooms where cigars are
tolerated.
In good many private snuggeries about
town frequented by theatrical people OF
both sexes the legend mo cigarettes" has
long stared the habitues in the face. This
is absolutely necessary from the fact that it
is usually the cigarette crowd that form the
phalanx of '.Johnies," and the unrestricted
indulgence of their habit would make close
rooms intolerable. Broadway happily af-
fords ample space for both pipe and cigar
cite, and if some smicable arrangements
could be made whereby the pipe and cigar
ette could be confined to one side of the
street, they would not be Objectionable.

carriage is taken out, are features that
everybody who has seen Paris will remem-
ber
There are about 10000 of these public
garages in Paris at present, nearly 5000 of
them belong to the Compagnie Generate des
Voitures. This great monopoly had its
beginning in 1855 In 1862 it obtained the
exclusive privilege of running cabs and
public carriages in Paris until 1910. In re-
turn for its franchise it was to pay the city
franc GO cents) day for each carriage,
was to be subject to the authorities, and
was to divide its surplus revenues. In 1866
the privilege was revoked and the cab bust
ness made free to all who would submit to
the municipal regulations and pay the
license. The company went to the courts
and obtained a judgment against the city
for $50, 900 year each year until 1910.
The tariff is the same for all public car
riages: 80 cents drive for two persons, or
40 cents drive fol, four persons, or so cents
an hour. The inevitable pourvoire for the
drive must be added to this. The
cheap rates put the cabs within the reach of
the poor and it is no unusual thing to see
