PLAIN. Blunt FOLK.

Our Scotch friends have blunt, straightfor-
ward way Of putting things. They have no use
for the arts Of rhetoric or sophistry when it
comes to a question of submitting proposition
to the public. For instance. not long ago the
City Fathers OF Dundee came TO the conclusion
that the streetcar lines owned by the munich
pality, should be run on Sundays. The matter
was submitted 10 popular vote by postal card.
Nothing was said about the convenience Of the
public, the facilities for carrying people TO and
from the churches. the public parks. etc. No The
reason that prompted the suggestion for Sun
Gay car service was solely that of a desired in
crease Of revenue 10 wipe out the annual deficit.
On that basis a negative vote was given, and
consequently the cang of the trolley is not
heard in the third city of Scotland on the first
day Of the week
And so with a recent scheme to open n mu-
nicipal public house, saloon, in LOchgelly, a
town in Fifeshre. Where such places have
been started in England the promoters have
avowed their purpose to be to reduce the danger
OF liquor drinking by selling pure stuff and to
encourage the use OF Notwithstanding drinks;
but the grim sons Of Lochgelly would have none
Of such pretences. They saw foreninst them
an Hibernian friend remarked, n town debt
which refused TO grow less in spite of all that
they could do; and so some genius evolved the
idea OF a municipal ginmill from which there
might quickly be reaped profits enough to meet
all the Indebtedness The more the idea was
discussed the greater grew its popularity.
Drouthy citizens peered into the future and
saw themselves appreciated patriots in pro-
portion to the development and satisfaction of
their thirst. But alas, it all came TO naught
Just as everybody thought the thing as good as
settled, up rose a legal Iuminary and showed
that the laws under which the burgh was gov
erned did not give the municipal authorities
power to consUmmate the plan.

DEMOCRATS URGED NOT TO BE AS FOOL

From The Brooklyn Eagle Dem.).
The Eagle advises those Democrats who would
effectively criticse President Roosevelt to attack
him tustly-that Is, for what he has said and done
which is open to criticism as President. What he
said or wrote before he became President enters

didate for election President. Roosevelt AS
sernblyman, Police Commissioner, as Civil Ser
vice Commissioner, Assistant Secretary OF the
Navy, colonel in the war with Spain, as Cover

welt a bographer or as an essayist. has been
overlapped by Roosevelt a President.
He IS President The Republican proposition Will
be that he should be elected to that office. There
will be other Republican proposition. The Dem
ocratic proposition will be that another should
be elected President The things President
which Mr.. Roosevelt has said and done will fairly
be open TO discussion throwing light the
proposition to continue him in the Presidency.
The prior public roles OF Mr. Roosevelt have been
passed on by the American people saving his
brief incumbency OF the Vice-Prestdency, to his
conduct I'm which neither party objected
And in the discussion OF Mr.. Roosevelts Presi-
dency, intelligent Democrats VIII avoid assailing

American Democrat been President. he would APP

ton of the army, the prompt recognition of the
Panama republic, the steps for the recognition OF
the autonomy OF China. the progressive increase
of the navy, the reorganization OF the military
system, the proposed reorganization of the naval
system and not few other things which have
been done or attempted. These things and
are right They will be undone Had a
Democrat done them. Republican attack them
might occur, but would be futile and foolish.
Having been done by a Republican. Democratic at
