But il there is one thing necessary to
the success of the Republican ticket. it
Is that the Democratic candidate shall
deserve and get the loyal support of
Tammany Hall.
Viewing the situation broadly, never
in the history Of campaigns between Re
publicans and Democrats were the dis
tiDguishiDg characteristics of the two
parties SO strongly emphasized as in
this one. The Republicans face the
prclSMs of the day without fiinching
FROM Either the opportunities or the re-
sponsP ilities of action. They have the
necessary convictions, courage and re-
sanrce> TO remove mountains,
TN the other hand, the Democrats eX-
hibIt all their old failings Of irresolu-
ton. theoretical ~vagaries. lack of set
tied convictions and conflicting councils
that Gender them unfit to be entrusted
with the control of the government.
At this stage of the campaign there
seems not the slightest reason to doubt
that the popular drift is with the party
that MARCHES forward rather than that
which stands still on marks time In the
footprints the other has left In the path
way of national progress. The best
proof of this Is in the fact that the
American people are going about their
daily business without any perplexing
doubts rs TO what will happen in No
vember.

lLLEeS!L CORPORATIONS.
Presidents Action In Enforcing Laws
Against Them.

Presidents Action In Enforcing Laws
AGainVt Them.
Northwestern Christian Advocate, Sept. 2O)
In holding large corporations to strict
accountability to the law the President
is serving the best interests of those
corporations as we'll as conserving the
welfare of the country. All corporations
which are operating on an unlawful basis
should be compelled to conform to the
law. If they cannot or will not they
should go out of business. This, some
have been forced by the lawless conduct
of their promoters and operators to do,
to the great loss of their stockholders.
Many formerly wealthy men are now
broken in fortune because corporations
With which they were connected were
formed and operated in violation Of law.
The action of the President in enforc-
ing the law would prevent, not promote,
such losses.
One of the crying needs of America
to-day is such respect for the laws of
the nation as the President has shown.
He did not make the laws. but it is his
duty to obey them. He has set an ex-
ample which every citizen should follow.
Ii that be done. we shall hear no more
OF mobs breaking into jails, .defying po-
lice and militia, and hanging or burning
prisoners suspected or convicted Of
crime, and burning property in a wild
frenzy of disorder and lawlessness.
