| critic party has devoted is efforts ~
vainly endeavoring 70 and fault and
sarcastically criticisIns the policies Of
the present and past administration.
They have devoted nearly all of their
time to this and have not even eonsid'
cred their own policies upon any OF
these important governmental issues.
There is nothing chargeable to the Re
publican administration That can .
ftyiewel with alarm without causing a
ripple Oh laughter TO Tesound from toe
shores OF Maine to the sand dunes Of
Southern ca1Irorr1a. This IS a fact APP
parent that has been substantiated by
the run of current events and 81 the
action of tine Democracy through the
campaign thus far.
The Opposition tried 70 pick flaws In
the Panama Canal acquisition. When
they began to try this the shout of
public disapproval was 50 deafening and
the opposition among Une people whom
the Democracy loved to look upon as the
"solid South so great that the whole
business fell as If it had been a red not
iron the party leaders had picked up.
Then wnen the national laws upon the
executives plain and obvious duties
were cited and explained the Democrats
hastily forgot their wall about "execu-
tive encroachment" About the pacific
and gratifying settlement of the big
coal strike the Democrats did not nave
muca to say; SIMPLY b-cause it would
have been political folly to do so. Up
on the gold standard even the Demo-
Gratis do not know where they stand.
The efforts of the bosses ut the st.
Louis convention. organs dictations and
the Parker gold telegram left the Demo
CRITIC party absolutely devoid of a pol
icy or principle upon tine money question
tho most vital issue of the day, in view
of the Bryanistic catastrophes of the
two preceding campaigns.
Upon President Roosevclt's able eff
forts in administering affairs of the gov
eminent relating to capital and labor
and of the work OF the labor commission
and the new department of commerce
and labor Democracy does not say much
of anything except jealous objurgations
because there is not anything to say.
And the history of the Democratic party
in the past does not afford a single
parallel exemplifled in the big trust
busting matter OF the Northern Securi-
ties case. Upon the Philippine policy
the people nave already signifed their
wishes and intentions regarding the i'm
mediate government of the islands
through their representatives. Prosper,
ity under protective tariff has rather
taken the wind out of Democatic
mouths! All otaer attacks upon the
salient policies of the present admins
tration have proved empty and as OF
words without thought.
Then. as President Roosevelt cnallen.
ges, where does the Democracy stand2
What are its policies? WHAT does it
propose to do for the people in case it
gets into powerf How would it con-
time the present policies of the govern.
ment? What would it do in any way,
shape, manner or form? No statement
has been made, no pledges formed nor
guarantees assured of what Democracy
would do or where it stands. Their
position seems to be tangled up in one
hopeless mesh of uncertainty, dubious
ness and INDIGESTION.

AN ADDITION TO THE RE
PUBLICAN TICKET.

When Major Grants Convention
pit M. E. Cox and John I. Mozingo,
two store keepers and gaugers, on
the radical ticket for heL%egislature,
the people of the county thought it
was too much, but it seems that
these were not enough to satisfy the
unsuitable appetite of the Major and
lis co-laborers, and so when DIR. M.
W. Parks, their nominee for the
senate, withdrew from the contest,
t ley put in another whiskey gauger
who had been rewarded with a job
at a still. as their candidate for the
Senate in the person of Mr.. Walter
O'Berry, of Dudley Is it possible
that whiskey gaugers and store
keepers are the only Republicans
worthy OF a place on the Republican
ticket?
The Republican machine in ssthis
county seems to think that a term of
service at a whiskey still is neces-
sary to qualify a man for a place on
their legislative ticket, butlit is diff
fcult to persuade the average decent
citizen of Wayne county that a tic
ket made up of whiskey gaugers,
Russell office holders and men who
fought the adoption of the Constitu-
tional Amendment is the sort of tic
ket that a decent man in any party
ought to vote. Of course there may
be people who like that sort of tic
ket, but knowing the people of this
county and thier good reputation we
are very sure their number is ex-
ceedingly limited. We, know that
many Republicans regard the ticket
offered them as an insult to their pa
triotism. The man who can vote it
can have little regard for his own
self respect. The nomination of such
a ticket, insulting as it does the self
respect of all classes of our citizens,
ENSURES It's defeat by an overWhelm-
ing majority.

A .JudiciOus Inquiry.

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for a child or
for an adult, and if for a child they
almost invariably recommend Cham
berlaIn'sC Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there Is no
danger from it and that IL always
cures. There is not the least danger
in giving it, and for coughs, colds
and Group 1t is unsurpassed. For sale

CHARGES AGAINST DENTIST.

DIR. Edward B. Dawson, well-known
Young Baltimore dentist, who had Offices
at 1922 north Charles street and at
Forest Park, where he resided Oh Fair
view avenue, near Garrison avenue, was
indicted yesterday by the grand jury on
four charges of felonious assault, alleged
to have been committed upon four in-
mates of the Kelso Home, at Forest
Park. Methodist Episcopal institution
established for the purpose of teaching
orphan girls to support themselves. he
is now fugitive from justice and the
police of every eastern city have been
searching for him since early yesterday
morning.
Not one of the four girls mentioned
in the charges is over l3 years Old. 1t
is stated by the manager OF the home
that about 15 girls, none over IL years,
and many as young as Q years, have
been treated in a similar manner by The
dentist, who was employed to do all the
WORK in his professional line for the IN
stitutiOn.
The four victims upon whom an actua
assault is said to have been committed
arc: Florence Walton, India Bond,
Ruth Landers and Minnie Cole. The
indictments charge that the assaults
were committed on March Is, October 10,
October 80 and November 8, of this year,
respectively. Only the four names have
been given to the police, and the State s
attorney, and the president of the home,
Mr.. James f. Hooper, stated that the
names of the other victims would not
be made public until court and jury
decided that all of the witnesses would
be needed to convict the fugitive, II
caught.
Daw son left Baltimore Saturday morn
ing. His house in Forest Park is closed
and his wife is stopping with her mother,
Mrs. iIary Macher, on Springdale
avenue, near Garrison avenue. The
wife and her mother know nothing of
the young man's movements after he
left the city, but the police have sue
ceeded in following out few clues and
are sanguine of success in making the
capture
The manner in which the story of the
alleged actions of the dentist leaked out
was peculiar, for all of the girls were
terrorized, they stated, by Dawson, who
threatened to kill them if they revealed
to anyone what he had done. He is
charged with having started his alleged
atrocious work early in March last, and
the Cole child is said to have been his
last victim, which wonld indicate that
his actions cover period of about eight
months.
1t seems remarkable that none OF the
l5 victims diyulged what had transpired
until such length Of time had elapsed.
The-superiutendent Of the home, Miss
Weaver. did not know anything about
the matter until last Saturday, when two
of The girls told her. Then an investi-
CATION followed, and, after Miss Weaver
bad spoken to'tbe girls, she ascertained
the full extent of the dentists actions.
It was then too late to take action that
day, and Dawson, who in the meantime
had received a warning, left the city
without further delay.

ParaIyzed by Hazers.

The brutal hazing of Albert I. De
Rome, a student at the Mark Hopkins
Institute of Art in San Francisco, is the
sensation of the moment. All crueties
practiced at other hszings pale in CON-
parision with those to which De Rome
was subjected. The perpetrators are to
be at once brought to criminal trial. De-
Rome is paralyed from the hips down,
and he supports himself with cane as
he drags his feet along. His injuries
are probably permanent. The students
call the torture to which De Rome was
subjected the "muscle dance" and the
effect was produced by shocking the vic
tim with electricity. The fun consisted
in watching the involuntary twitching Of
the muscles under the violent electric
impulse. The hazing was in musty,
vile-smellipg attic on Clay street. The
"muscle dance" was resorted to only
after the lad had refused to take certain
obscene VOWS, and when al other methods
ordinarily used in college hazing bad
been vainly exhausted.
De Rome, after terrible beating, was
striped aud bound naked TO a chair with
metal seat-a chair in imitation of
the electrOcu;ion instrument. His body
was fiy.papered and painted Queer
masks were put upon him. He was made
ridiculous. His tormentors laughed in
savage glee.
Then the electric current was turned
On the chair. The shock caused DE
Rome TO wriihe. As the victims lets
qu;vered and kicked convulsively shrieks
of merrment came from the inquisitors.
When the mirth was at its height it
was suddenly suspected that the boy was
avoiding contact with the disks. He
had ceased to writhe.
Then. to make certain that he should
not escape the fall force OF the eiec-
t,i.ity, De Rome was tightly strapped
down to the seat and the current was
repeatedly turned on again. The cruel
ordeal lasted for two hours and half.
De Rome says that after the two first
hours he ceased to feel the pain, and his
legs worked under the deadly current,
with the automatic movement seen in
the limbs of dead frog when touched
