THE W0RkINGMAN's FRIEND.
Railway Fireman Pny q Notable Trib-
ute to President Roosevelt.

No President ever received a 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 H. 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.. Hannakan, "that
IL 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 III
will nor deserve the censure of amy of
his fellow-men. (Cheers)
IF the rest of the public, and particu-
lnrly 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 common level, there
would be fewer strikes and less strife
and more OF peace and good will In the
Industrial world"
What has the President done for
your 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 orgaDiza-
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 Presi-
dent. The demonstration was spon-
taneous and was general all over the hall.
Finally 1t died down and some one In
the audience shouted:
"Hurrah for Theodore Rooseveltw
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 its action. but
its members, regardless of party, enter
tain high opinion of President Roose-
Welt and will stand by him as firmly as
he stands by them

imperialism Of steel.

When the great iron and steel indus
try of the United States thrives. other
American industries thrive. The Dem
ceratic party could not legislate TO de-
stroy the protection to the iron and steel
industry without legislnting 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, IL 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
is King.

ROOSEVELT GOOD ENOUGH
The People Like the President's Dem
ocratic Ways.
IJohn s. Wise, OF VIrginia.l

John s. 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 n
usurper or n monarchist as hercely as
he would lasso wild broncho or fight
Spaniard. And they like his demo
cratic ways. more democratic far in ac-
ton than the aristocratic and exclusive
ness of Parker. with his colorless demo-
cratic platitudes.
Talk does not settle popular estimates
of public men. Thousands-nny, hun
dreds of thousands-of Democrats see
more real democracy In the vigorous. ag-
pressive, wideawake Theodore Roosevelt
than in the colorlcss. 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

which please their taste and fancy and
Gil their ideals of what real American
manhood is would. IL were betting

be an easy winner.

To make the future outcome plain
For each one knows
That as Maine goes
The tide of public judgment hows.
One time Maine went

And every one knew what that meant
This year the State
Has struck gait
That sets Republicans elate.
At Esopus
There is a fuss.
Because the votes are going thus;
And Gassaway,
So blithe and gay.
Must write checks till election day.

And jeer and flout
Because their State is not in doubt:
But d. B. Hill
Has had a chill
And thinks that he had best keep still
Much pain Is felt
Beneath the belt

They have the blues
At this great news
They know that Roosevelt can't lose.
The record shows
That as Maine goes
The tide of public Judgment flows
The fight is vain,

That they will have to vote with

Democratic Vice Presidential Candi-
date Draw. the Line Mt $4,000.
A press telegram dated Cumberland,
Nd. Sept. Z. says:
at 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. lie 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 Il.
Davis, is said to have done likewise.
-Four years ago John 7. Davis spent
large sum in four counties when his
Uncle Tom was 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, 1t appears. The. ex-senator himself
has always succeeded in hanging on to
his dollars.
How much better 1t 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 committed!
And all for nothing, too!

Judge Parker's "admonition," ad-
dressed to his waning supporters. in his
speech to the visiting editors, has in 1t,
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 responsibility to reckon with
find that their candidate is and always
has been cheek by jowl with David
Bennett Hill and hand in glove with
Tammauy.

OF his position, but unable to shake of
the political associates and methods by
which he has risen. pleads fervently fol-

and unimportant differences involving nc
