Many took advantage of the warn

Third Term Talk.

powerfully reinforced the course of

Denver, June 3O.-A miniature tor

Many suffered broken arms or legs.
Not great crowd was inside ut the

ment before, warned that the struc-
ture was not safe.
The little tronado was apparently
entirely local to the race track. Two
or three whirling clouds of dust swept
over the grounds before the accident
one threatening the grand stand. but
dissipating just as 1t seemed about to
strike. A 3 o'clock the whirlwind
formed in the middle of the paddock
and gathered an immense cloud of
dust on the golf links. Moving slowly

seventh hole Of the links it took II cir

bore toward the stands. Ahead of this
n tremendous gust swept through the
grand stand, bearing immense quanti
ties of sand and dust. Hats were lift

twisted 1t in its grasp and dashed it
down upon those beneath. The wreck
was hidden in n huge cloud of dust
and no one saw the wreck of the bet
ting shed. An instant later the whirl-
wind was gone, gust whlsked the
sand away and the still, sultry air en-
compassed stands and ring. a mo-
ment later the north end of the shed,
which was still standing, came crash
ing down, but not until many had es-
capped by that opening.
The excited shouts and cries of pain
from the people struggling to escape
from the wreck set the whole park in
an uprOar. Bleeding men swarmed
out of the opening in the wreck.
The pavilion was a very frnil struc-
ture, built simply for n betting ring.

"coNsENT OF THE GOVERNED"

The Democratic platform adopted at
Kansas City on July 8, 1900, had this
to say: 1--WE declare again that all
governments Instituted among men de-
rive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed; that any govern
ment not based upon the consent OF
the governed is tyranny, and that to
impose upon any people govern
ment of force Is to substitute the meth
DDS of Imperialism for those OF re-
public" And so with this beautfui
and inspiring legend inscribed upon
their banners the hosts Of Democracy
went forth to war.
At the very moment when this con-
vention was lnshing itself into moral
ecstacy, the Democracy of North Car
olina was planning the disfranchise-
ment Of n race. simply that ana hoth-
ing more. The Democratic leaders in
that state made no attempt to excuse
or veil their motive. One of them SAID:
Every white man in this state shall
vote, but not n single damned Niger"
At the present time there are five Dem
ocratic states in the South which,
through the Vaccinations Of that par
ty, have deprived the negro OF the
rights guaranteed him by the consu-
tuition, In other words, the southern
Democrats have repudiated in action
every word concerning the principles
of republicanism which they swore to
at Kansas City.
Recently the real Imperialism of the
Democratic party has been again Illus
Republican party in Missouri. In 1900
the Democrats in that state cast 3o1,-
600 votes, the Republicans 314,OOO, hf-
ty-one per cent, to forty-nine per cent.
Yet the result of that election is that
the Democrats have fifteen congress
sional districts and the Republicans
only one. This condition has been
reached through the gerrymanderings
of n Democratic Legislature backed
by n Democratic governor. This condi-
tIon existed when the Missouri delega-
ton was the loudest ut Kansas City
In declaring Its undying devotion to
pure, "Jeffersonlan" Democracy.
In the light of these historical facts
is 1t remarkable that the intelligence
and honesty of this country have re-
pudiata ehe Democratic party: Is
furthe foof needed that the protesta-
tions OF lofty patriotism made by the
party in Its last campaign and still
reiterated by few solitary unquench-
ables, are hypocrisy and lies? Does
any one think that n party capable of
such monumental duplicity can be
snfely trusted with any reform?
The party is just now fighting to de-
termine along what lines it shall re-
organize. 1t seems to us to need reor-
gnnization along the lines of COM
mon honesty.

A weak point in the graded school
system is that clever pupils are held
back to the general level of the class,
or dull pupils are discouraged and
crushed" by the advancement of their
mates. The board of education in Ba-
tavia, New York. seems to have
remedied this difficulty by providing
larger grade-rooms in which twice the
usual number of children can be as
sembled under two teachers. one teach
er to conduct the classes and the
other to give all her time to helping
the slower scholars. ''The effect of the
change was instantaneous" writes the
president of the board. "in putting
confidence into the laggards. in maxi
ing them the equals of their brighter
neighbors. in giving an onward move
ment to the grades. in relieving the
teachers Of all strain, and in ending
after-school drudgery and home work. "
To attain any one OF these results
would warrant pretty radical meas
