carried on by John Hay, greatest of
modern diplomats, receives nothing but
condemnation from the wouldbe admin
istrators OF the affairs of the nation.
The serious, toilsome task of making
a new, free people out of the mixed peo-
Piles of the Philippine Islands, labor
which must be characterized by delibera-
ton, care and the highest conscience, and
which is only at it's beginning, has been
ignorantly and wantonly assailed and
misrepresented. And in connection with
this gigantic task, which must try the
strength Of American statesmen yet I'M
born, the DOGGY man" of "Imperialism"
has been constructed.
1t is all, literally, great cry and lit
tie wool"
The Democratic candidate, in one of
his few public speeches, has given out
childish expression of fear of this
amusing DOGGY man Of American I'M
perialism. History teaches" he said,
that from Republicanism to imperial
ism the movement is gradual and unpre
ceived of the people. It's ominous pro-
gress, when discovered, leaves open but
two courses-~submission or resort to
violence
A HumiliatinR Cry.
1t is humiliating that an American
man who has had the benefit Of com
mon school education should so mistake
the philosophy of history as to raise in
his own mind, or that of anyone else,
the ancient fear of kings and emperors in
country which has been governed by
the people for hundred years.
All the trend of human thought and
Il &c nd ho
of the people for the people Even in
the old world the principle works, and
is ever advancing. The planet upon
which we live may fall into the sun, or it
may be snuffed out like a candle by
some of the mysterious powers of the
universe. But in the epoch of the
worlds history in which we live no self
governed nation of free people will take
the road back to subsection. And of
all people the Americans are the last
to look fearfully forward to such an
auti-climax.
70 one regards these "Imperialstic"
warnings seriously, but they show what
kind of people make up the Democratic
party. "Anything," they say, "for
cry! anything, from whine to a shrek,
anything, to get US a hearing! And,
We'll howl ourselves into power! Once
again, all shriek"'
But 1898 is not far enough back The
black shadow of Democratic rule is still
remembered, ruefully, by American vot-
ers.
The people have made up their minds,
and 1.-The shouting of the captains" can
not turn them one point from their
source. They will elect Roosevelt, Presi-
dent; Fairbanks, Vice President and re-
turn a Republican Congress.

an Extrnvarant outlay.

Talking about the alleged extravaganza
of the war department under Republi-
can rule, Judge Taft reminds the Allan
tic seaboard that one item in the increase
of recent expenditures has been the guns
to effectually protect the great harbors
of the East. In Mr.. Cleveland's day
there was just one gun mounted along
the whole line of the Atlantic coast from
Maine to the Florida keys.

1t is evident from these figures that
Republican policies cannot be unwhole-
some for this country in any particular.
Thus notwithstanding we preserve our
home markets under the protective tariff,
yet we are able to increase our business
in foreign markets as well. The trade
follows the flag" doctrine and the ''open
door" help accomplish this result.

Domestic Manufactures.

The exports of domestic manufactures
from the United States have grown from
$40,345, 1872 in 1860 to $403, 641, 401 in
1902. Nearly all of this growth was
under Republican administrations Since
1899 the expectation of manufactures
has averaged over $40O,OOO,O00 per an
mum, being more than twice as much as
in any year prior to 1896, four times
as much as in any year prior to 1877,
and ten times as much as in any year
prior to 1867. Could there be stronger
argument in favor of Republican policies
than that afforded by these figures?

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young ;
when old, sometimes Inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

One of the most notable of recent So

con given by Mrs. ]. H Maupin to the
members of the Dickens Club last
Thursday Elaborate preparations had
been made for the pleasure of the
guests and the affair was in all respects
one Of the most delightful in the ar

the tasteful manner of their arrange.

The excellent behavior of the crowds
which have thronged the streets since
the beginning of the current week is
matter that has called forth much
favorable comment from both residents
and visitors. But little drunkenness
has been reported and no misdemesn
ors of any kind have been reported to
the police. People are enjoying Car
nival week to the utmost. but are not
brutalizing themselves by getting
drunk and raising Cain, as Is too often
the case on occasions of this character.
The quietness and demeanor OF people
on the streets the last few days is COM
plimentary to their sobriety, intelli-
gence and relf-respect.
OF the hundreds Of people who have
visited McConaheys moving picture
show in the Apex building during the
past five or six seeks 1t is safe to say
that not one of them has been dis
appointed, or regretted the payment Of
the price charged for admission. As a
rule people who attended McC Dnahey's
entertainments are so well pleased
with them that they take their friends
the next night to enjoy it with them.

for this week, including the battle OF
the Yalu and other military and naval
scenes from the Russian-Japanese war

Convenience And Comfort.

Visitors to the Great Floto Shows
are always delighted with the courtesy
shown them by all the employees Of
the shows. Visitors are made to feel
welcome. They are regarded as pa
irons who are comforting favor by
their presence. In striking contrast to
the treatment OF the public by the or
dinary show, which seems to regard
their patrons as interlopers, this un-
failing courtesy adds greatly to the
pleasure Of visit to these vast eIhi-
billions. Careful attention to the COM
fort and welfare of ladies and children
is made obligatory upon every one
connected with the shows by the
management, and so it is that ladies
and children may attend these eIhi-
billions without the slightest discom-
fort or danger if they have no male
escort.
The shows will exhibit in Canon City
