The greatest compliment that has
been paid to the presidents message
is by the democratic papers. They
denounce it bitterly, although they
are unable to point out anything speci-
fically wrong with it. A government
al policy that is denounced by demo-
Gratis is certain to be right. A demo
crat is always wrong and always has
been wrong and probably always'will be
wrong about governmental affairs.
History of the past century upholds
this declaration, and present policies
confirm it. Possibly the democratic
party could be right, but probably it
never was.-Lawrence Journal.
