Give me no gold and starry crown
EnfoIdinEs.

The snowflake that softly all night is
whitening treetop and pathway;
The avalanche suddenly rushing with
darkness and death to the hamlet;
The ray stealing in through the lattice to
waken the day loving baby;
The pitiless horror of light in the sun
smitten reach of the desert;
The seed with its pregnant surprise of
welcome young leafiet and blossom;
The despair of the wilderness tangle and
treacherous thicket of forest;
The happy west wind as it startles some
noon laden flower from its dreaming;
The hurricane crashing its way through
the homes and the life of the valley
The play of the pellets of fame when the
children laugh out on the hearth
stone;
The town or the prairie consumed In a
terrible, kissing combustion;
The glide of a wave on the sands with its
myriad sparkle in breaking;
The roar and the fury of ocean, limit
less maelstrom of ruin;
The leaping of heart unto heart with bliss
that can never be spoken;
The passion that maddens and shows how
God may be thrust from his crea-
For this do tremble and start when the
rose on the vine taps my shoulder;
For this when the storm beats me down
my soul groweth holder and holder.

opinion that ought to grow. The

missed it about a month, as it is
now given out from an official
source that the extra session will
be called early in October. 1t is
given out as the ostensible reason
that this extra session is to be
called for the purpose of dispos
ing finally of the Cuban reci
procity treaty by obtaining the
concurrence of the House of
Representatives. which the demo-
Gratis compelled the republican
senators who were working in
the Interest of the sugar trust, to
agree to before they would vote
to ratity the treaty. The real
reason why this extra session is
to be called was given in this
correspondence sometime ago
when it was stated that j. Pier.
pont Morgan had called on the
president and informed him that
Wall Street could not hold out
longer than the fall and that
there must be some legislation in
It's interest, presumably the Al
drich bill, or there would be a
smash-up and possibly a panic.
Wall Street continues to dictate
the policy of this administration.
Unless all signs fail, they may
as well start in on their financial
bill when the session meets, be-
they are not going to get through
the concurrent resolution of the
house endorsing the Cuban treaty
by December 81, except it carry
with it the elimination of the
diiferential on refined sugar. The !
democrats have made up their
minds to fight for that in the in.
terests of the people. There are
about 45 republicans from the
beet sugar states, and if the dem
ocrats can round up 20 kickerS

time with knife under the rib of
the sugar trust. That will kill it,
Tor those trust-ownad senators

take about $6,O00,OOO a year out
OF the pockets OF one of their
bosses. If the house democrats
do not succeed in getting the

question until the end of the ex.
ira and regular sessions. Mark

democratic party can win and will

guided by common sense" said
one of the leading democrats of
the nation to me few days ago.
AS | said in my last letter, ! can
not give his name at this time be-
cause he is not ready 20 be quoted

opinions filtered through the
press of the country in order that
the people may thiuk them over.
"The democratic party should
not surrender to the socalled re-
organizers" continued this distin
guished gentleman. By that
mean that we should not nomi,
nate a man for the presidency
who bolted the party organiza
tions in 1896 or in 1900. There
are fundamental principles and
tenets of faith in the democratic
party which are immortal, and
which will forever keep this land

and to which the vast majority of
the people of the country sub

beclouded by financial and extra.
neous theories the result will
show itself in great democratic
majority, popular as well AS in
the electoral college. The demo-
cratic position on the money
question in 1896 and 1900 was a
policy adopted at that time in
order to relieve the necessities of
the people and of the business
world that were clamoring for
more money to do the business of
the country. 1t simply involved
the quantitative theory of money
and our every contention in that
regard has been amply proved by
subsequent events. We wanted
and needed more money in cir.
culation and advocated bimetal
lism rs the remedy. The remedy
came, but it came in the shape of
one metal only, superinduced by
the failure OF crops in the old
countries, by the war with Spain,
and by the flood of gold from the
mines of Alaska. The result was
the same. Prosperity returned
to the country just as we said it
would if we could get more basic
money on which to do the bust.

is one upon which all democrats
can unite, fight under the same
banner, and bring victory. On
this platform, constructed as above
indicated, ! think it will be wise
for us to place a young and Wig

to the business interests and ac

INTO consideration the conditions
that confront us. The farmer has
not yet begun to feel the fact that
the trusts are charging him more
for everything he buys than they
do the foreign buyer of the same
article, and the majority Of The
farmers are "standpatters," and
while those who are democrats
probably would not vote the re-
publican ticket, they might not
realize the significance of the
election. In the face of this fact
we must nominate a man who
has the confidence and can carry
the vast labor vote of the cities

Alice Roosevelt, as a Child, Had

OsSS sASsS'SSS
Miss Martha Havemeyer, the
daughter of William F. Havemeyer,
at n of her recent literary "at

Il heard the other day." she said,
"a story about Miss Alice Roosevelt's
childhood. The little girl was walk
ing with her nurse on a spring NORM
ing through one of the city parks.
Trotting up and down near her was
ar urchin with a balloon-one OF
those big and buoyant red balloons
that children hold and look up at
fondly. The child was so unfortun-
ate as to let his balloon escape in a
strong gust of wind. 1t scared up
and into the blue sky. 1t disappeared
from view. Its owner howled and
screamed in his despair.
''Alice ran up to him. She patted
him on the back. She said in a COM
forting tone:
htNever mind about your balloon,
little boy. 1t has gone up to heaven,
and when you die you will get it
again."
