Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1902-06-26

uTe ana refused TO force lLS c0nSIuera-
tion at this session, thereby endeavor-
ing to have the country believe that
they do not intend to pass it at all
when the truth is that they have SIM
ply postponed it to a ''more convenient
season''-to wit, the short session of
the present congress. Wherefore? Be
cause they are afraid to pass it on the
eve of the congressional elections. That
they intend to pass it next winter no
sane man who is well informed doubts
for one moment. 1t is their old and
usual caper to postpone to the session
Immediately after the election all meas
ures they are afraid to pass just be
fore an election, relying upon the
shortness of human memory TO work
forgiveness The masses of the people
are dead against the bill. and If the
question is properly handled the Re
publicans will lose the next house.
Showing Its coIors.
All intelligent people know that from
the beginning of the terrible war in
South Africa the Republican admins
trations at Washington have been
cheek by jowl with John Bull, Joseph
Chamberlain & Co., and the Repub-
lican organ grinders have backed up
the administration i'll its pro English
capers. In my last letter pointed out
the utter hypocrisy of the Globe-Demo-
crat in pretending to sympathize with
the Beers. 1t was not able to keep up
kho
thy to the Beers soon cropped out. It's
issue of June contains this infamous
sneer at as brave a people as the sun
ever .shone upon:
A year ago the Bocrs were offered So
000,0 900 to restore their farms if they would
agree to terms of peace. By waiting
twelve months they obtained $150 ,0G0
and big lot of British commissary sup
plies.
In its issue of June 10 it repeats the
insult in the following words:
When it is reported that the Beers who
surrender cheer for King Edward it is
we'll to remember the $15,O 100000 indemnity
yet to be distributed
The intimation in each paragraph is
that the Beers were fighting simply for
money when everybody knows that
they were fighting to retain their free
dom, sacrificing their property, their
homes and their lives How any Amer
ican who loves liberty and remembers
our Revolutionary war can sneer at
the sufferings of the Beers is a thing
past finding out. The G.-D.'s antics
are shame to the American republic.
Senator Hoar's Speech.
The CALLED jade winces. The Kansas
City Journal, one of the most rampant
and truculent organ grinders in the
land, says:
A million copies of Senator Hoar's
speech on the Philippines are to be circu-
lated as a Democratic campaign docu-
ment. Those who read it should bear in
mind that the author declares he is still
Republican because the Republican party
is immeasurably superior in every way to
the Democratic party.
Yes, Senator Hoar is a Republican,
and his great speech is in the nature of
''state's evidence" against his own par
ty. True, he, through force of habit
and by reason of long association, still
votes the Republican ticket, but his
speech will convince thousands of
| young Republicans that he and they
ought to vote as he speaks, and they
will proceed to do so, no matter what
ne may do. The Kansas City Journal
and other Republican organ grinders
that indorse everything labeled Repub-
;icanism might as well understand that
now as after election. The people of
the United States are not being led
around by the nose by the organ grind
ers as they once were. They are do
ing their own thinking more largely
than ever.
