our reserve forces to a low degree; the ma
chinery has lost its steam and begins to go
to pieces. Then we go to a doctor to get
mended and he fills the furnace (the

never intended by nature to get inside of

What the Democrats Want.

"Why was the democracy beaten the
other day2" demanded the Old Timer.
Livery man who was present at the
banquet of the Knife and Fork club to
Gen. Funston and the officers of the
Twentieth last night knows why it was
beaten. A man sat next to me who is
a bitter and repulsive anti-fxpansion-
ist. He knocked all night until the
speeches came. Then he grew restless.
That Gardiner Lathrop is a fine talk
er,' said he. ANY body who has blood
in him will cheer good talker!' When
Herbert Hadley spoke my friend yelled
wildly. I'm yelling because he's from
Kansas he explained. With Con-
gresham Delivers speech he got up
on his feet and howled! .I'll howl for
a good speech any time, about any,
thing he said. When U. s. Epperson
got through my friend jumped up and
broke loose: 'Hurrah for expansion,
wow! wow!'
"When Frank Walsh, democrat by
extraction, experience and belief, got
up my friend said: I'm good friend
of Walsh, but, damn him, can't stand
for any talk against the United Statesl'
Well, when Walsh broke out battle
flags like United States man 'o-war
and roared salute to the flag that
that raised che roof my friend fairly
wept for joyl The last saw of him he
was clasped in the arms of two other
anti-expansionists, all crying: MY
country, right or wrong!'
'That's why the democracy was beat.
en-. That's why Bryan must be shelved.
Bryan must be shelved, say, gentle
men! He won't do. The democracy
is no funeral procession. We want is
sues, not hearse. We want a leader,
not an undertaken. We want shouters.
not mourners. You can't go to victory
in sackcloth and ashes with the flag
furled up like an umbrella and marked:
we are 80 sorry!' No tune could be
sung to the dolorous words: We are
wrongP No joyous music could &C.
company sorrow for the United States
gone wrong. The demand, You must
not contained no promises, and the
platform, 'Hurrah for Nol' had nothing
to offer except total blank! There
was nothing in it except We are op-
posed to anything the republican party
chooses to espouse!'
II tell you, gentlemen," added the
Old Timer, "a party without a flag,
cause without a song,a procession with
out music,a demand which has no goal,
a platform without a promise, is but u
funeral procession and leads only to
the gravel What the democracy wants
is an issue that means something when
it wins, not an issue that is only an is
sue as long as it is in the min
ority and ceases to be, if it should
happen to become the majority. Mo-
is the minority issue, and never was
anything else. What the democracy
wants is flag and drum, not pro-
tessional monrner for his country!
Fellow democrats, throw the hearse in
the ditch. tell the undertaken, Bryan,
to get out of the way, unfurl the flag,
face about, sing, and, for heavens sake
get out of the cemetery" -Kansas City
Star.
