Democratic Inconsistency.

There would be something humorous IN
the attitude of the democratic press
toward the presidents clearly expressed
nosition as to the regulation Of trusts
were it not SO despicable. After reiterat-
ing the falsehood that the republican party
has never done anything to restrain the
aggressive greed Of the trusts, they
attack the president violently when ne
personally advances to the attack ana un-
folds something like definite and ra-
tional policy of regulation. They call
him a. demagogue and fraud for advo-
eating what they themselves have pro-
fessed to approve and 1ndorse. 1t IS a
matter Of historic fact that the exist
ing antitrust law was placed on the
statute book by the republican party. 1t
is also historic fact that when weak
nesses were detected in the antitrust
law, the republicans endeavored In the last
congress (the ffty-sixth) to remedy them
by applying government regulation, and
the democrats raising their old battle
cry infringement on states rights!'
succeeded In defeating the republican pur-
pose.
Democratic newspapers are bitterly op-
posing the suggestions of the president
now, on the ground that he Is insincere
and playing a demagogio game and talk
ing to the galleries. They tell us that 1t
Is difficult thing to amend the federal
constitution, as two-thirds Of both houses
Of congress have to agree on any amend
.ment proposed or the legislatures of two
thirds of the states of the union must
apply for it as presidential to proposing
q constitutional amendment. To ratify
an amendment requires the action Of the
legislatures of three-fourths Of the states
or of state conventions In three-fourths
of the states. Then they tell us that "of
course the money power" will defeat
every effort to secure the ratification of
an amendment giving the government
power to regulate corporations. What
sincerity, pray, can there be in a party
protesting to oppose monopolistic COM
binations and yet showing a record Of
determined opposition to propositions of
rational legislation to accomplish what
they avow to be their own program?
The democratic party is not honest in
its professed hostility to monopolistic cor
porations. It is to-day opposing rational
movement to regulate them. It is sup
porting the efforts Of the monopol1stic
corporations to 2disparage and defeat the
campaign Of education which President
Roosevelt is so effective and intelligent
ly carrying on. No party honest In inten-
ton to achieve constitutional amend
ment will be frightened from It's purpose
because it takes agitation and hard work
and determination to overcome all difficult
ties. There Is mighty little sincerity or
backbone in a party which backs down
from high purpose because its accom-
plishment involves work and trouble.

A correspondent Of this column told
yesterday Of a visit to the farm Of Col.
Santa Claus on the Minnetonka road
where the great Christmas favorite was
raising a crop Of presents for use later
in the year. A little girl who read the
article with breathless interest writes to
know where the dolls with f1axen hair
and red cheeks come from.
A visit was made.to Col. Claus dollery
yesterday with this request in mind. Dolls
in all states and stages Of growth were
found there in wonderful abundance, many
Of them so far along that they spoke freely
Of their experiences in coming from
Fairyland into their present state Of ex-
istence where they serve usually a rather
short probation as dolls of Katherine,
Elizabeth, Jane, Ruth, Marion, and a
thousand thousand other little girls
When these dolls are broken up or lost
they become fairies. again. Dolldon is
a probationary state Of existence. There
is a whole race of mischfevous fairies who
forget at times to be, good fairies and
these as a punishment are obliged to be-
come dolls so that they can see how
little girl mothers act and learn from
them their forgotten ways Of kindness,
gentleness and good behavior. TO the
ordinary person the doll sometimes seems
very woodeny and unappreciative of all
that is done for her but in reality she Is
drinking 1t all in and learning the neces-
sary lessons. In becoming doll the fairy
soul of her is usually so crippled and lin
tied by belief in matter, such as crock
cry and sawdust, that she loses much of
her fairy ability, though some dolls are
able to say a few words or perhaps to
cry little.
Santa Claus Is the agent between Fairy
land and the world for the incarnation or
rather the, incrockeryation Of dolls and
it is his duty to see to it that dolls are
placed in those families where they will
profit by the experience. The RESPONSE
btlity resting on Santa Claus shoulders
is of course very great but up to the
present time he has borne it In q wonder
full manner.
Whatever you do, treat your doll right.

but it lets the sawdust run into her head,
causing various disorders. Treat your

is taking notice.

"Her Marriage Vow" at the BIJou.

The Bijou has a nelodrama this week
that is more full of thrills and impossible
situations than an egg is Of meat. It's
characters voice the loftiest Of sentiments;
it's heroine wears black and speaks tear
fully of her "cheeild.' Its villain is
comedian; and its comedian doubles in the
third act and plays villain. It's dialogue
would give Alfred Ayres mental indiges-
ton, and it's story is so wholly ridiculous
as to be worthy Of John J. McNally. Be-
cause Of these facts-not in spite Of them
the gallery whistles, shouts and stamps
it's noisy approval throughout four long
acts.
The piece has been put out under the
title of ''Her Marriage Vow" 1t is con-
structed along familiar lines, and its char
acters seem like old friends. The per-
secuted heroine is the only daughter Of a
locomotive engineer, poor but honest"
The hero is a switchman, whose true
heart is worth more than dozen Of coro-
nets. The villain, who never misses an
opportunity to make himself obnoxious,
is, Of course, g. man of some property,
while his alder and abettor in crime is the
tenderly nurtured daughter of a railroad
president. This IS as it should be, for
to the average American audience, the
audience that delights in melodrama.
nothing is quite so despicable wealth
i'll used. In English melodrama the hero
may be man of intelligence and refine
ment. In American nhelodrama the man
who appears upon the stage in frock coat
and silk hat Is, of necessity, the villain.
There is, of course, an occasional excep-
tion to this rule, but If, in addition to
wearing the clothing Of gentleman, he
also smokes an occasional cigarette his
villainy may be taken for certain, q,
