1t is droll, the attitude of the Demo-

1t has nominal ted candidates of mod
crate talents as figure heads for the ven
lures of the discredited party, and ex-
poets the people to support them, while
the Democratic National Committee and
Tammany are expected to buy or steal
success.

ROOSEVELT GOOD ENOUGH.
The People Like the Preside nt's Dem
ocratic Ways.
[John S. Wise, Of virginia.

lJohn 5. Wise, Of Virginia.
The people have seen more of Roose-
velt-now as youth and cowboy and
sportsman and naval secretary and po-
lice commissioner and soldier and gov
ernor and President to think themselves
fair judges Of his ingram democratic and
republican personality. They believe he
would spring at and grapple with a
usurper or a monarchist as iercely as
he would lasso a wild broncho or fight
Spaniard. And they like his demo-
cratic ways more democratic far in ac-
ton than the aristocratc and exclusive
ness Of Parker, with his colorless demo-
cratic platitudes.
Talk does not settle popular estimates
of public men. Thousands-nay, hun
dreds of thousands-of Democrats see
more real democracy in the vigorous, ag-
eressive, wideawake Theodore Roosevelt
than in the cOlorless, secretive Alton B.
Parker. The platforms are mighty near
together. The men are going to be a
more decisive feature of this campaign
than usual. And with my knowledge
of the American people and the things
which please their taste and fancy and
fill their ideals Of what real American
manhood is l would, if I were a betting
man, stake all had that Roosevelt will
be an easy winner.

lmperiaIfs m of Steel.

When the great iron and steel indus
try of the United States thrives, other
American industries thrive. The Dem
ocratic party could not legislate to de-
stroy the protection to the iron and steel
industry without legislating to destroy
the prosperity of the United States
The millions of additional profit and
wages that have come to the iron and
steel industry under Republican rule
would have been earned, if at all. by
foreign nations, had Democratic policies
prevailed during the last eight years.
The gigantic rise Of this industry dur
ing the last eight years added enormous
ly to the wealth of the United States.
and every branch Of American industry
and agriculture has been stimulated by
it. prosperity at home and prestige
abroad" has indeed been intimately con-
nected with the increasing imperialism of
steel. which once was Pauper but now

TAMMANY "TAR WATER"
Will It Prove an acceptable Beverage
to Respectable Democrats?


Judge Parker's "admonition,' ad-
dressed to his waning supporters, in his
speech to the visiting editors, has in it,
for all its rhodomontade, a shadow OF
the pathetic.
1t is little wonder that there are dis
sensiOns in the Democratic camp, as
staid gentlemen from the South, East
and West, men who have certain tradi-
tons of respecta bility to reckon with,
find that their candidate is and always
has been cheek by jowl with David
Bennett Hill and hand in glove with
Tammany.
Judge Parker, recognizing the dangers
of his position, but unable to shake off
the political associates and methods by
which he has risen, pleads fervently for
1.-The elimination of personal, fractional
and unimportant differences involving no
surrender OF principle" Such elimina-
ton, he declares, lis essential to sue
cess"
But will the Democrats drink the
Tammany "tar water?'

Mr.. DAVIS CONTRIBUTION
Democratic Vice Presid entail Candi-
date Draws the Line at $4,000.

Dem OCrat1C Vice PRESIDENTIAL SauO1-
date Draws the Line at $4,000.
A press telegram dated Cumberland,
Md, Sept. Z, says:
"It is stated on reliable authority from
Elkins that the campaign contribution
of Henry G. Davis will not be anything
like the amount the Democratic manag-
ers had expected. He has fixed the
amount for all purposes at $4,000 and
his brother, Col. Thomas B. Davis of
Keyser, w. Va, gave similar amount.
MRS. Elkins and Mrs. Arthur Lee,
daughters of Mr.. Davis, are known to
have objected to their father contribut-
ing large sums, and his son, John T.
Davis, is said to have done likewise.
"Four years ago John T. Davis spent
a large sum in four counties when his
Uncle Tom was a candidate for Con-
gress, but no results were obtained. Col.
Davis being defeated by large vote.
Since then the Davises have little faith
in politicians judiciously expanding
money"
There's some sense in the Davis fam
lily, it appears. The ex-senator himself
has always succeeded in hanging on to
his dollars.
How much better it will be to use
some of papa's money to buy pretty bon
nets and gowns with, than to throw them
to the mocking-birds of the Democratic
campaign committee!
And all for nothing, too!

Take Your Choice.

David B. Hill, the sponsor of the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
said at st. Louis that he did not know
how Parker stood on the money ques-
ton" For thirty years Hill and Park
err have been intimately associated, So
cially and politically. If the statement
made by Hill is to be believed, then
Parker is too secretive man to elect
to the Presidency; if false, then it was
evidently made for the purpose of mis-
leading the people; and if the people are
to be deceived in one thing, why not in
all the acts of the Democratic leaders?

THE WORKINGMAN'S FRIEND.
Railway Firemcn Pay Notable Trib-
ute to President Roosevelt.


No President ever received more
notable tribute from a labor organiza-
ton than Theodore Roosevelt did at the
convention of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen held in Buffalo. A pub
lie meeting was held on the night of
Sept. ID. Fully 5000 persons were in
attendance.
Grand Master Hannahan, in conclud-
ing an address, called attention to the
fact that a New York newspaper had
criticised the President because he had
accepted an honorary membership in the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
"Let me say" said Mr.. Hannahan, that
if the President of the United States or
any other Of its citizens does nothing
worse than accept membership in this
organization he will neither merit the i'll
will nor deserve the censure of any of
his fellowmen. (Cheers.)
''If the rest of the public, and particu-
larly those who are intrusted with the
direction of our government and the
management of the nations greatest en-
terprises would do as the President and
meet us upon a common level, there
would be fewer strikes and less strife
and more of peace and goodwill in the
industrial world
What has the President done for
you?" shouted an intoxicated man, who
stood near the stage door on the right.
What has the President done?" re-
peated Grand Master Hannahan. ''The
President has proven to the organized
workingmen of this country that he has
an interest in their welfare by accepting
an honorary membership in an organiza-
ton of men whose faces are begrimed
by smoke and dust, and who daily and
hourly face the gravest Dangers
The monster audience burst into
deafening cheers. The tumult rolled
from wall to wall and back again. Men
stood up on the benches, wildly waving
their hats and cheering for the Pres-
dent. The demonstration was spon-
taneous and was general all over the hall.
Finally it died down and some one in
the audience shouted:
'Hurrah for Theodore Roosevelt
And again the crowds burst into
cheers and when the second demonstra-
ton died out the intoxicated man was
nowhere to be seen.
During the demonstration the men on
the stage sat silent and made no effort
either to check or urge on the remark
able ovation which the President had re-
ceived. The Brotherhood does not per-
NIT politics to influence it's action, but
it's members, regardless of party, enter
tain a high opinion of President Roose-
welt and will stand by him as firmly as
he stands by them.

Republican VS.. Democratic Policy.

Organization does much to maintain
the wages of labor, but organization of
wage-earners does not provide consum-
ers. Consumption of coal is always
greatest when mills and factories are run
ming full time. 1t is the policy of the
Republican party to protect all indus
tries by wise and beneficent laws, while
it has been the policy of the Democratic
party. as evidenced by the last Cleveland
administration, to provide as much work
as possible for the artisans of other coun-
tries by removing the protection the tar
iff affords American workingmen.

The truth is. there is now more dis
affection in the Democratic party than
there was when Bryan was nominated
the first time. Neither Bryan Demo-
Gratis nor friends of w. R. Hearst will
support Parker. In New York State the
Bryamtes have put State Pvpul1st
ticket in the field and will vote for Wat
son. the Populist nominee for the Presi-
dency. In New Jersey the Hearstites
have organized the Peoples Demo
cratic party" and will fight the regular
organization. In Indiana and other
States the free silver and Bryan Demo-
Gratis are in arms and will worry the

Marshall P Wilder's most successful
joke Of the season has a political tang
to it that is calculated to make even
a Democrat with any sense of it's eternal
aptness laugh. He tells of teacher who
asks a class of boys whether they would
like to be President of the United
States. Observing that amid the gen
eral enthusiasm of assent one boy was
silent and disconsolate, she said:
whats the matter, Willie? Don't
you wish to be President?"
"Yes'm, but 1 can't" replied the boy.
"How do you know you can't?" she
asked.
Because I'm a Democrat"

PENSION ORDER, NO. 70.

President RooseveIt's Action Ii in
Line with Law and Precedent.
The groundless character Of the charge
that President Roosevelt has exceeded
his constitutional powers is shown clear
ly by examination of the facts and the
laws concerned in the executive action
known as the "age pension order" issued
last March by direction OF the President.
Anyone who will take the trouble to
read the act Of June q, 1890, as amend.
ed May 8, 1900, will find a clear basis
to begin with. 1t directs who shall have
pensions, and how the amount of the
pension. in each case, shall be determin-
ed, as follows:
All persons who served 30 days or more
In the military or naval service Of the
rebellion and who have been honorably dis
charged therefrom. and who are now or
mental or physical disability of perma-
nent character, not the result Of their own
vicious habits, which incapacitates them
from the performance Of manual labor In
such a degree as to render them unable to
earn support. shall, upon making due
proof of the fact according to such rules
list of invalid pensioners of the United
sion not exceeding $12 per month, and not
less than So per month, proportioned to the
degree Of inability to earn q support, and
cry disability Shall be duly considered, and
the aggregate Of the disabilities shown shall
be rated.
Thus, as plain as words can make 1t,
is authority given to the Secretary of the
Interior to determine what pension shall
be paid to any applicant for pension who
served ninety days in the War Of Re-
bellion, was honorably discharged, and
who is disabled for the performance OF
manual labor by any cause other than
the results of his own vicious habits.
The Supreme Court has decided that
upon the point of establishing the rate of
pension to be paid, within tho limits pre-
scribed by the law the Secretary of the
Interior has entire control. The only
check or supervision upon him is from
the President of the United States, whom
the general laws specifically direct shall
have control of the Commissioner Of Pen
sions and the administration of the pen
sion system.
Therefore, it was directly in line with
the duties imposed upon him according
to section Al, U. s. Revised Statutes,
that President Roosevelt gave the cele-
| brated order which has been called an
| evidence of "usurpation," imperialism"
"a desire to override the constitution"
| "looting of the treasury" and other
| hard names. by excitable Democrats. The
section of the Revised Statutes referred
| to reads as follows:
"The Commissioner of Pensions shall
perform, under the direction Of the Sec
| rotary Of the Interior, such duties in the
| execution Of the various pension and
| bounty-land laws as may be prescribed
| by the President"
President Roosevelt, in his pension or
| der, did no more than his plain duty, act
| ing strictly within the powers conferred
upon him by the Congress of the United
