SHALL SEE THE DEVIL.
If Peacemakers Shall See God, What
is to Become of Warmakers?

In a speech made in Boston Octo-
Der 4th, introducing Secretary Hay to
the International Peace Congress,
Mayor Collins, of the Hub, said that
if he We're to paraphrase Bible text
to suit the occasion it would be this:
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they
shall see God; damned be the war
makers, for they shall see the devil
This utterance from Mayor Collins
in the presence of the Secretary Of
State, while not directed at President
Roosevelt, is at least an excoriation of
the President when considered in con-
nection with a speech he made before
the Republican Club of New York.
February 18th, 1899, when he said:
"If we ever grow to regard peace
as a permanent condition, and feel
that we can afford to let the keen,
fearless, virile qualities of heart and
mind and body sink into disuse, we
will prepare the way for inevitable
and shameful disaster in the future.
The peace which breeds timid-
ity and sloth is a curse and not a
blessing"

FRIEND ADDICKS.
How Mr.. Roosevelt Has Stopped Op-
position to The Delaware BOOdIer.

Thomas w. Lawson, who has always
been regarded as shining light of
Republicanism and a liberal contrib
utor to the Doodle funds of his party,
continues his story entitled "Frenzied
Finance" in the October number OF
Every body's Magazine.
Much of this installment is devoted
TO scathing arraignment of Roose-
velt's friend and trusted adviser. ].
Edward Addicks, of Delaware. The
incidents leading to Addicks' entrance
into the Boston gas field are fully mar
rated. The "gas mans" alleged fnan-
cial erookednesS and his known polit-
zeal rascality are shown up in a light
that must bring joy and peace to the
soul of Theodore Roosevelt-in horn.
An entire chapter is given to a mar
ration of the story of Addicks' cap
ture" OF the Bay State Gas Company
and the alleged corrupt methods h.
which he profted to the extent of ST.
100000.
This man Addicks is one of the most
notorious political corruptionists in
the country.
Roosevelt, while Civil Service Com
missioner. Assistant Secretary of the
Navy and Governor of New York,
went out of his way to condemn him
and expressed contempt for any one
who would have political relations
with him.
During the first two years of his in
cumbency of the Presidential office
Roosevelt continued his opposition to
Addicks and Addicksism. and used his
influence to bring about his overthrow
He joined hands with the honest and
decent Republicans of Delaware and
helped them to down" Addicks and
save the honor of their State and
purty.
But how is it now? Does Roosevelt
still support the reputable wing of his
party in Delaware Not at all. He is
hand in glove with the corrupt Adj
dicks, has turned over to him and his
henchmen the Delaware patronage and
is apparently proud of Addicks as a
political lieutenant and confidential adj
wiser In the opinion of the best men
in the Republican ranks in Delaware,
Roosevelt, in the hope of getting the
electoral votes here, has sold his soul
to the devil.

PROTECTION ARGUMENTS MET.
Trusts, Combined, Defeat the Very
Object of the Protection Theory.

trusts, OOmDlneO, DeIeaC the very
Object of the Protection Theory.
The sole economic argument for a
protective tariff" said Colonel A. H.
Bacon, of Brooklyn, in his recent
speech to the Travellers Club, lis the
ultimate benefit to the consumer by
means of lower prices through dOmes-
tic competition. The gigantic trusts
have combined domestic plants so as to
defeat the very object of the tariff
under which they thrive. Prices are
increased until Shipbuilder on the
Clyde can buy American steel plate
SO ton cheaper than a shipbuilder
on the Kennebec, who ~ow asks the
general Government for subsidy
equal to $40 ton TO make up the diff
ference.
But says Republi IAN President,
"a reduction of the tariff would de-
stroy the small manufacturers who
are still infants and wLo bask i'll the
shadow of the giant trusts This ar
gument is toe simple for children even.
The tariff is to protect against the
foreign competitor, but the foreign
competitor must first destroy the larg-
est domestic manufactures before he
CttH get at the luIuntS. Inc Ddilte
must be waged between the giants,
for the foreign giant could not occupy
the home field without first defeating
the domestic giant; and, under this re-
cent argument, any man by investing
a thousand dollars in a steel plant,
fifty years from now could defeat the
reduction of the tariff, even though the
American Steel Trust was furnishing
its product at every capital of the
world. No, the moment one domestic
firm becomes a giant, its very life de-
ponds upon it's fighting every foreign
foe, and it thus protects every infant
that coddles under its shelter.
But again say the orators: Amer
lean laborers must not be reduced to
the level of the pauper labor of
Europe We are reminded of the
traveller and his dog lost in the des-
ert. Starvation stared them in the
face. The traveller cut off the dogs
tail, roasted it, ate the meat and
threw back the bone to the dog. This
represents the share of labor in the
tariff problem"

BRYAN ANSWERS ROOSEVELT.
Presidents Charge Against Wilson
Tariff Act Proved Unfounded and
Absurd.

William ]. Bryan, in the Commoner,
quotes from Mr.. RooseveltS letter of
acceptance as follows:
1T is but ten years since the last at
tempt was made by means of lowering
the tariff to prevent some people from
prospecting too much. The attempt
was entirely successful. The tariff of
that year QS94 was among the causes
which in that year and for some time
afterwards effectually prevented any
body from prospecting too much and
labor from prospecting at all"
This statement is in line with the
declaration in the Republican National
platform for 1904 that "a Democratic
tariff has always been followed by
business adversely; Republican tariff
by business prosperity"
Mr.. Bryan then proceeds to show
that neither the statement of Mr..
Roosevelt, nor the declaration in the
Republican platform is justified by
history. "As a matter of fact" says
Mr.. Bryan, . every panic during the
last thirty years originated under Re-
publican rule and developed under Re-
publican legislation.
THE gold panics which gaze history
black Friday occurred during the
month of September. 1869, when the
Republican party WIS in power.
The great panic marked by the fail
IRE of jay Cook & Go. occurred in Sep
TENDER, 1873. Then the Republican
party was in power and eleven months
prior to the time OF that panic the
Republican party had been reelected to
power.
1T is true the Wilson bill was passed
ten years ago. That was in 1894. But
that panic did rot originate in 1894:
it did not originate in 1898; it began
long prior TO the Presidential election
of 1892. That panic originated and
reached its worst under that famous
tariff law known as the Mckinley
bill"

FOSTERS RANK TREASON.
Former Diplomat and Republican
Leader Against a War Policy.

John w. Foster, an eminent Repub-
lican and accomplished diplomat. in an
address before the American Bar Asso-
citation few days ago said:
1T has been reported in the press
that the Secretary of the Navy has an
nounced himself in favor of a navy
equal to the greatest in the world.
trust he has been misquoted. Our
Government should be ready to enter
into an engagement for international
disarmament, and not one looking to
further increase of the navy. This
country should hold itself to other and
far more peaceful pursuits in the set
Element of strife than to the making
of implements of destruction and
DEATH"
This is rank heresy; in fact, it is
treason to Roosevelt. 1t is likewise
evidence that Mr.. Foster is not looking
to the Administration for any more
jobs as arbitrator of international diff
ferences or negotiator of treaties be-
tween this and other countries.
OF course Mr.. Foster is we'll aware
that the Secretary of the Navy has not
been misQuoted. He is on record as
saying that he favors the construction
of a battleship of 10000 tons displace-
ment. one that will "knock the spots
off" anything in this line yet launched
abroad The Secretary of the Navy is
the Presidents me, Too" so it is safe
to predict that the gentleman with the
Big Stick" Will not. be satisfied with
the size and destructive capacity of the
battleship Connecticut just launched
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He wants
ship one-ffth larger than the Con-
necticut 1t is doubtful if he will be
contented with the navy until he has a
battleship as large as the biggest Brit
ish and the biggest German battleship
combined. a battleship powerful
enough. without assistance from other
ships. to make any South American re-
public behave itself with decency,"

SELF-CONglCTION OF ODELL.
His Perversion of Peoples Money
Very Like Republican Practice at
Washington

In his attempts to make satisfactory
answer to the charges of perversion
of the public moneys, made by the
Democratic Acknowledgement of New
York, Governor Chair Odell not
only handicaps the man whom he has
put up to be his successor, but con-
yicts himself.
The New York Sun is not the only
Republican newspaper to bear out this
statement The Pittsburg Dispatch,
not New York journal, it is true, but
one of the most powerful of the Re
publican organs of Pennsylvania, is
amazed at the weakness and shame
facedness of the GovernorCh airman's
answer.
''The controversy" says the Dispatch,
''has resulted in betraying the Gov
ernor himself into the highest official
endorsement of irregular methods in
dealing with public funds ever made.
1t also includes the peculiar political
quality of an astute political manager
committing an action which identifies
his leading State candidate with the
fragrant irregularity endorsed by tie
Governor.
THE Geyernor-C Chairman, in his re-
ply to Mr.. Cunneen's charge that the
Canal Board, acting under the Cover
nor Chairman's direction, had pervert-.
ed $4,000 of the peoples money, by
allowing the payment of that sum to
favored contractors for work falsely
alleged to have been done by them,
makes no denial of the payment, but
says:
THAT certain money was due for
losses which had occurred by reason
of the failure of the State to permit
the contractor to continue his work.
This is often done in business matters,
and it certainly was not improper for
the Canal Board to view it from this
standpoint
Such a confession as that has shocked
even a Pennsylvania Republican or
gan. 1.-THE feature of this avowal, "
says the Dispatch "that will impress
itself most forcibly on thoughtful
minds, is the remarkable principle as
serted by an eminent public man con-
corning the transaction of public bust
ness. On account of indefinite, I'M
specified and improved claims on the
part of a contractor it is proper for
public board to vote him money on a
separate claim proved to be fictitious
and fraudulent And the public man
declaring this method to be not i'm
proper is the Governor of the most
pOpulous and wealthiest State of the
Union"

PARTY PROMISES.
Fair and Definite Are the Democrats;
AbsurdIy Vague the Republicans.


Colonel Alexander S. Bacon, the
well-known Brooklyn lawyer, in closing
his excellent speech to thu Commercial
Travellers Club, said in conclusions:
1.-The Democratic party says: We
promise, now, to pass resolution similar
to that which granted independence to
the Cubans, who have thrived so much
better under their own than under
our military government. We do this
because it is admitted that the better
class of Filipinos, who would do the
ruling, are far superior to the Cubans.'
THE Republicans say: We do now
solemnly promise that at some time in
the future we will mediate seriously
upon the propriety of meditating
again
Democracy says: we believe in
expansion, but not in imperialism. We
believe that the Constitution should
follow the flag, and that we should
have no territory that we do not ex-
pect at some time to adopt into the
family of States Expansion adopts
children. Imperialism buys slaves. Re-
publican imperialism would conquer,
rule and bully the world, through brute
force. Democratic expansion would
take in only contiguous and homogene-
Gus peoples. 1t would extend the Mon
roe Doctrine to republics everywhere
until all peoples are homogeneous re-
publics, despots remembered only as
a faint memory, and all the world at
peace. ruled by love, under the pro-
tecting arm of the great republic"

PRAISE FROM SIR HUBERT.
Judge Parker's Public Character
EIoquentIy ExtoIIed by the New
York Tribune.

Judge Alton b. Parker's refusal to
stand for the Presidency on a plat
form which ignores the money ques-
ton and leaves in binding force as
Democratic doctrine the free silver
coinage planks of 1896 and 1900 does
signal credit to the firmness and cour-
age of his public character.
Judge Parker is widely respected in
this State for the conspicuous ability
he has shown in politics and on the
bench, and for the purity and integrity
of his private life.
Every man who knows him esteems
him.
The Republicans of New York have
nothing but good words TO say abou'.
him in his private capacity and in his
judicial activities.-New York Tribune,
July 10, 1904.

Apathy" has been dispelled in
Grant County, Indiana, and there the
first blood of the campaign has been
spilled. The trouble grew out of rival
ry between white and colored Repub-

riot. One man had his collar bone
broken and another was badly
bruised about the legs and arms. Sew

Uncle Joe Cannon's Rare Humor.

Uncle" Joe Cannon. in all Of bis
speeches in localities where gold Dem
oerats are numerous, reminds his hear
ers that Judge Parker voted for Bryan,
and then asks, -Can you trust such
a man to uphold the gold standards"
This is rich. Uncle" Joe's silver rec
ord is as follows:
In 1873 voted to pass the Bland free
silver bill over the veto OF a RepuDl"
can President.
In 1890 voted voted for the sherman
silver purchase law.
Later he was one of few Republi-
cans who voted against the repeal OK
that law, which was urged 6y Grover
Cleveland.

Establishment of the system was by
Democrats in the House of Represent

Have you tried to drive through East Main street during the past two or three weeks? The trolley company have had everything their own way. both sides of the street, also the side. walks. Not only that, but the cops and the courts are with them. The only way to get through at times would be in balloon, and even then if you should take a drop you'd come on COD ble stones, pickaxes, crowbars, live wires or stilettos. Where, oh where is that little mayor who always haa an eagle eye to business and lots or sssand'' when it was necessary for the public good? Well, the question IS, who is accountable for all the cusses and naughty words which have been uttered on East Main street on account of Instructions. It has been some thing terrible in the extreme to listen to- We are positive that we are not accountable for we have often told the public that good Tea and Conee Ghe kind we selD are beyond doubt q
 most beneficial brain tonic, and people who partake of either freely will never lose their temper. Why even the cops would get mad sometimes.
