great deal of significance in Presiden
Roosevelt's tour; | believe it is diff
cult to overestimate its magnitude
The god, Mammon, is enthroned il
power, the world over. Roosevelt
does not worship Mammon; Mammor
is contemplate god, and his power
is doomed to an early ending. He
fears it. Public High School, Collegi
ate and University education is poison
to the rule of Mammon. There is q
higher ideal in life than the mere max.
ing or accumulation of money, and
that ideal must assert itself sooner OF
later. The raging conflict in the Unit
ed States being waged is between Man
and Money = Mammon. Roosevelt
mon is erturbed-excited. He began
by an attempt to defeat Roosevelt for
denomination, and had to retire un-
der the first clash of arms. Then he
sought his ancient ally, Grover, the
Fat, and found him too heavy a
weight to carry. Undaunted, but dis
concerted, he returns to a direct at
tack on Roosevelt in his own camp.
This all means to say that the money
powers first tried to defeat Roosevelt
for a nomination, then tried to see if
they could not nominate and elect
Cleveland, and finding that it would
be impossible to elect Cleveland, they
have returned to the assault against
Roosevelt and will try to prevent his
nomination. So, claim that there is
a deep significance behind Roosevelts
tour. am greatly pleased with the
way he has been received and is being
received everywhere. He has a steel
backbone, and his splendid reception
is bound to refine and Harveyize it.
It is impossible to do too much for
him; it is impossible to uphold his hand
too firm and too high. That is to say,
if am right in my conclusions that he
is on the side of Man in Mans fight
against Mammon. The great prosper
ity of the country forbids any radical
change in it's policy. No Cleveland
Democrat and no Bryan Democrat can
win. The next best thing that Demo-
Gratis can do is to support the least
Objectionable Republican. l would
rather see the election of the least OBJ
iectionable Republican than the cleo
ton of the most Objectionable Demo
crat. | believe that Mr.. Roosevelt, on
his return to Washington, will be able
to say TO Mammon: "Lay on, MacDuff,
and damned be he who first cries hold,
enoughp' That's what we want him
to be able to do. By all means, let
Roosevelt know that the people are
behind him, and will not desert him,
and most firmly believe that he will
stand by the common people, and give
Mammon q shock such as he has not
received since Andrew Jackson said:
"By God, sir, we will see whether the
National Banks or the people run this
governmentp' Governor Sparks may
not receive much praise from Demo-
cratic and Silver party politicians for
his remarks in introducing President
Roosevelt to a Carson audience and
comparing him to Andrew Jackson,
saying that no powerlcould buy hair
of his head, but the body of the Demo
cratic Silver party will applaud him
for it. He arose far above party in SO
doing, and doubt whether the Presi-
dent received a better introduction
from any source Republican or Demo-
cratic-on his entire trip. The coun-
try must recognize that the biggest
opposition Mr. Roosevelt now has for
a denomination exists among that class
who call themselves captains of in
dustry," moral and political pirates J
who buy juries, judges and Legislatures
and who deem the greatest criminals
those who will not stay bought. am
a Democrat, but it seems to me that
under the issues cut out, that party
patriotism is not national patriotism
and, my country before party.
A young hotel chambermaid at St.
Louis refused to make up the bed that
the negro, Booker T. Washington,
slept in, and she was discharged. A
number of hot Southerners in New
Orleans made up purse of $4,000 and
sent it to the maiden. Now comes a
hot number from the North, Rev.
Dwight Hills, and he invites Mr..
Washington to not only preach in his
