DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF CREATION.

DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF CREATION.
"Are YOU voting for Rothschild oi
your own child o. is the specious APP
peal made to the prejudiees of the peo-
pie by Jerry" sullivan in his Burlng
ton speech. It is INTENDED TO win With
the voter who is dissatisfied either
with the greater success of his neigh
Dor during times of republican pros
perity or with his own inability TO Sc
cure a greater share of the profits of
good times.
The Times Republican has repeat
edly made the observation that the
democratic party is drifting more and
more each Year 10 socialism The
charge of populism has long stood un-
challenged against it, ana il is not Diff
ficult now TO foresee the time when POI
litical parties in the United States will
be divided along the same lines that
divide parties in the continental coun-
tries. AS we grow older and greater IN
population we are gradually developing
the party OF those who have property
and the party Of those who, possessing
few results OF thrift, have nothing but
complaint 10 make against their more
competent neighbors.
We have hut TO glance at the car
toons of Hearst newspaper to see
what the issues are. That this COM
munis1n is accepted as pure democracy
IN Iowa today is fully asserted in Mr.
Sullivan's campaiging. AT Burlington
range, which he visited three years
THE ore is found IN the form OF
sand; il is not mined as we understand
that term, but it Is taken out with
steam shovels. That iron was placed
there for you and for me. not for the
republican party or the steel trust. |
God created the great forests for you
and for me, not for the lumber trust
and the republican party
There 1t is. God created It for You |
and for ME whether we have gumptioE
enough to dig in for it or not is |
democratic philosophy. Were We demo-
Gratis, consistency would cause us to
feel cheated of our rights in yonder
farmers sleek herd or his neighbor's
golden yield of corn, since God created
the living animals and growing plants.
The wild and unframed citizen under
12 years of age is wont to accept this
democratic view of things as regards
the farmers apple orchard and in said
philosophy he remains mistaken until
after years of patient toll he, perforee
acquires an apple orchard of his own
II was a lucky oil strike III the Texas

in Charley rowne when an overwheim ]

seem TO phase him.
There Mil always be considerabl>
element IN our electorate which can
be reached by appeals TO class preju-
dice. The poor We have with us al

of Iowa, among whose people thrift and
the per cent of property owners Is
greater than IN any other community
