DEMOCRACY HAS NO ISSUE.
Opposition Is Making Disgustingly
Weak Argument About Mr..
Knox and the Trusts.

How utterly empty. inane and ri.
diculous all this democratic talk that
the trusts made Philander c. Knox
him out of the attorney generalship
and paralyze the prosecution of the
trusts!
1t is empty and inane because it
will be so easy to prick the bubble
and let all the gas out Of 1t. Do these
furnishing issue-seekers forget that
President Roosevelt will appoint the
successor Of Mr.. Knox as attorney
general? Do they imagine that he
will not take good care to appoint a
successor whose very name will stamp
the hollowness of their foolish cry?
Do they suppose that Mr.. Knox
acute, masterful and luminous as he
isis the only lawyer In the country
capable of carrying on the policy
which has been so ably and success
fully inaugurated?
Suppose the president should ap-
point Joseph II. Choate attorney gen.
eral, what will become OF the bal
flating? In the face of any such des-
ignation their pretense will be seen
to be preposterous. Do they think
they can fool the people with the idea
that a Choate cannot follow a Knox?
Or do they fancy that they can make
the people believe that Theodore
Roosevelt is insincere and dishonest
and shamming? That is what their
proposition comes to. To say that the
policy has been changed by trans
ferring Mr.. Knox to the senate Is to
say that the president is faithless to
himself. If they want to raise that
issue right at the beginning of the
campaign, with all the presidents OPP
portunities. they are welcome to It!
And then, don't they see how they
contradict and stultify themselves?
When they portray Mr.. Knox as the
one trust-buster whom II is necessary
for the trusts to get out of the at
torney generalship they confess that
their previous talk has all been truth
less and worthless. They have insist
ed that the trust policy Of the admins
tration had not been earnest and hon
est. Now they say it has been, and
SO earnest and honest that the trusts
try to disarm 1t by translating its legal
champion. II they expect to produce
any effect, wouldn't It be well to stick
to one line of representation for at
least a week?
Their talk with reference to Mr..
Knox himself went through the same
tortuous course. Like every strong
lawyer. in these days Mr.. Knox, in his
practice at the bar. had corporations
as well as individuals among his
clients. When he was appointed at
torney general the cutlery was that a
trust lawyer had been put there to
shield the trusts. Now the same peo-
pie are saying that he has been taken
out of the attorney generalship in or
der that the trusts may be saved! Do
they fancy that other peoples men,
cries are as short as their own seem
to be?
1t is foolish. says the Philadelphia
Press. to undertake to set up fiction
which will be so easily and so surely
exposed. It only shows how barren
our friends. the enemy, are Of any

In Conhdence

BY HERBERT A. MoRRAH.


wv 'Conroy were first married,
thought them both the most fortunate
beings in the world. He was the
young hero of the story books to look
at, and she was fairer than a flower.
1t was a union Of mature minds, and
there was money on both sides; pros
pect. therefore, of more bliss and sue
cess in life than follows the popping
of average champagne corks. Friend
Eustace was ambitious. This promised
to keep him up to his work at the bar.
He had future before him-uncles in
high places, and so forth; in fact, the
sun shone upon their joint path, and
yet the clouds came.
AS a friend of both families I re-
ceived the condolences of both from
time to time.
"You are an old fogy, Cousin Ar

Somehow this failed to give pleasure.

Export Trade Growing Steadily.

Imports Of iron and steel and steel
and their products are falling off and
exports are increasing. The imports
for the ten months ended with April
were $23,075,0 S4, as against $43, 1892 ia
for the same period last year. The
imports for the present fiscal year will
be about one-half those of 1903 On
the other hand, exports. Of iron and
steel for ten months ended with April
were $S9.094,41 against 79,S39, 462
for the same ten months in 1903.
Much of the increase is in locomotives,
typewriters and other manufactures,
all going to show the progress which
American products of this kind are
making in the markets of the world,
Notwithstanding the lamentations Of
our free trade friends over the evils
of tariff which stimulates exactly this
sort Of growth. Journal.

No great concelt of dress is theirs; 4
No pride OF outer excellence;
But each its common binding wears
And holds its worth in evidence,
For when we take It In our hands.
With that precision born of age
The old time volume understands
And opens to the oft-read page.
The old books are the best OF all:
The old books we have read so long
Their pages lips whence softly fall
The treasured story or the song.
Here, In the old bookcase, they wait,
Not as the ones that ne'er unbend-
But, comfortable and sedate,
Each lounges as a favored friend.

Ready for ANY Emergency.

Our beloved leader. Bryan, has in
formed the country that he is direct
ly opposed to the nomination Of Judge
Gray by the st. Louis convention. as
he docs not favor the nomination Of
anyone who opposed the ticket in
1896" This is quite natural and hui
man. II our memory Is not at fault
our beloved Bryan was out looking for
votes eight years ago, and 1t is real
ly too much to expect that he is going
to throw up his hat and shout for any
body who voted against him on that
memorable occasion. Mr.. Bryan has
vast amount of personal dignity and
self-respect, and he has large COL
lection of knives. stilettos, poniards.

sharpened for use In this pleasant

THE OLD BOOKS.

Out yonder. prim upon the shelves.
The ones In better bindings stand
Contented with their lordly selves
And barring the familiar hand;
Slim volumes that are fain to hide
From common touch, behind the glass;
And fat ones. too. whose heavy pride
Bids all the curious to pass.
But here the old bookcase we find,
Where dog's-eared volumes, sadly worn.
In coverings OF every kind.
Some ragged, broken backed and torn.
Are ranged In thoughtless disarray
With no regard for worth or size
The grave hobnobbing with the gay,
The foolish brothering the wise.

DANGER IN SUCH DOCTRINE
Why the Opposition Is Motto Be
Trusted with Legislating for
Commercial Interests.

In an editorial, giving unqualified ap-
proval Of w. Bourke Cockran's free
trade speech in congress, and quoting
some of its most violent free trade pas
sages, the New York Times says:
IF the business were in itself profit
able, no excuse could be offered either
for subsidy or for protection.
All interference in business by the gov
eminent was intended to make an I'M
profitable business profitable, or to make
a profitable business more so, and in
either case at the expense of the public"
This is not from a rabid Bryan
Hearst-Populist source, but from re-
spectacle Parker-Cleveland. conserva-
tive journal, yet II this means anything,
: it means free trade. II this statement
of the Times were correct, more than
half the manufacturing industries Of
this country are Improbable and In
furious to the public. For instance,
every business in Pittsburg needed pro-
lection. Is there person fit to be out
side Of lunatic asylum who pretends
that the great iron industries of the
country are Improbable, or that their
development has been an injury to the
country? asks Gunton's Magazine. If
the protection to the iron industries of
this country had cost twice as much
as 1t did, 1t would have been profitable
investment for the nation. Without
protection, the leading manufacturing
industries of this country would not
have been here. To whom, then. are
they Improbable? Not to the capital
lists who invest in them, not to the labor
ers employed in them, not to the ma
ton, and not to the consumers of iron
and steel. II this proposition repre-
sents Parker, Cleveland, Olney and the
so-called sane" Conservative" dem
ocrats, then, so far as the business safe
ty of the country is concerned, they are
no more to be trusted than the advo-
