WHAT DEMOCRACY WOULD DO

Democrats may look with suspicion
upon the proposition OF David B. Hin
to have the government TO take pos.
session Of the coal mines Of the coun-
try, but they cannot be unmindful Of
the soundness of his conclusions upon
what would follow the success of tho
democratic party. Mr.. Hill said in his
speech at Madison Square Garden.
"A victory of the democratic party
at the coming election will mean re-
lief 10 the people from numerous pub
lie burdens and exactions. It will
mean triumph OF revenue reform and
the securement 20 the people of coal
and beef and other necessaries Of life
free from all tariff duties. II will
mean reduction of taxation all along
national and state lines, bring happi.
ness and plenty to many households
and want and hunger TO none
1T will mean that official robbery,
heretofore prevailing under the guise
OF unnecessary taxation. shall hereaf.
ter be regarded as an Official crime
against the best interests OF the com.
munity. II will mean that an era OF
commercial freedom has been reached
and that the period of national exclu-
slveness has been passed, never, it is
hoped, 10 return again. II will mean
the beginning Of better days for the
republic. where all men shall stand
equal before the law, with equal op.
portunlties, equal privileges and equal
rights.
1T will mean that a strict and not a
loose construction Of the federal con.
stitution shall determine the dividing
lines between state and national au.
thority. between the duties of citizen
ship and the prerogatives of govern
ment.
Finally a democratic victory will
clear the political atmosphere from
the stencil Of corruption which seems
TO pervade almost every department
OF the state government and relieve
the people from the further domination
Of the most odlous and autocratic po-
litical machine that was ever fastened
upon the people of this state"
Outside of the last paragraph Of this
part of the address that is at once a
pledge and an indictment, the people
OF the whole country are interested
in the declaration. With no evasion
or ambiguity II goes directly to the
pc.Et, and places before the voter the
choice he may make II he desires so
to cast his ballot as to secure the bet.
terment Of his country.

A QUEER PICTURE THING.
The Way one Art Treasure Was Res
cucd From oblivion.

Cueo iFom ODllNlOhs
Few chapters In the worlds history
are more curious and interesting than
that which deals with the fortunes of
its art treasures. In the cathedral at
Montreal Is, or was few years ago,
a large piece of tapestry which had
been discovered in a back street of
New England town. The story is told
In Mrs. Silsbee's Half Century of
Salem"
One day certain Mr.. Miller passing
through Derby street saw woman
beating clouds of dust from a carpet.
Something peculiar in its appearance
made him stop and look closely at il,
when he discovered, TO his astonish-
ment, that 1t was splendid piece of
tapestry, with life sized figures
wrought from Raphaers cartoon,
Feed My Lambs"
The woman was quite willing to
tell how she obtained it. 1t was, in
fact, standing grievance TO her. Her
husband was sailor, and when he
went out on one of his voyages she
had begged him 10 bring her a carpet
for her best room. As IL happened, he
did not visit Il port where he could
buy n carpet, but rolled up I'm little
shop on the quay at Malta he had
found the tapestry and purchased it,
thinking II might answer the purpose.
1t was too large for the room, and the
woman had to turn a big piece under
She folded the piece back, revealing
part of the superb border of fruit and
flowers. wrought in silk and gold
thread, as fresh as when it was first
worked. But the owner eyed il with
contempt She never did like the
queer picture thing, she declared.
1t was the opportunity Of a lifetime
Mr.. Miller promptly offered her the
choice Of any carpet in the stores in
exchange for her queer picture
thing" and the woman as promptly
accepted the offer. They went down
town together, and she selected, with
unbounded delight, hideous pattern
of glowing reds and green's. Her face
was full of triumph when she re-
turned. The best room at last was to
have carpet that was a carpet!
1t is safe to say that no bargain ever
gave more complete satisfaction to
both parties than the one made that
morning in Derby street, Salem.

reluctantly.

the Greater New York Democracy will

The enormous truth Of the saying that
