But if 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
tinguishing characteristics of the two
parties so strongly emphasized as in
this one. The Republicans face the
problems of the day without hinching
from either the opportunities or the re-
Sponsibilities of action. They have the
necessary convictions, courage and re-
sources to remove mountains.
On 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 render 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 or 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 as to what will happen in No

Best of All Markets.

The best of all markets for American
manufacturers and farmers is the home
market. The internal commerce of the
United States aggregates each year more
than $23,OOO,OOO.000 and is far greater
than the international commerce of all
the world. This vast market is at our
doors. 1t is among our own people. Why
should we surrender it to foreigners, as
the Democratic policy of free trade
would do, and pay to foreign manufac-
turers and workmen the money that
should go to Americans?

ILLEGAL CORPORATIONS.
Presidents Action in Enforcing Laws
ARaiust Them

Northwestern Christian Advocate, Sept. 20)
In holding large corporations to strict
accountability to the law the President
is serving the best interests of those
corporations as well 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 We're 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:

SONG OF DEMOCRATS.

Sing a song of Democrats,
And note their poignant pain;

And now, just look at Maine.

Their spirits sadly droop.

1.54. but the record Is incompleto.t
Comparing the report of the average
number of children Of those graduate
Ing in the first decade with the report|
made by President Eliot recently, It is
interesting to note that the averaged
number of children is precisely thel
same in Harvard and Vassar families.
A surprising fact brought out inI
these statistics Is the preponderance
Of boys among the children Of Vassar
graduates In the first decade the ex-
cess of boys Is nearly 80 per cent. In
the second decade, where the record In
is 1917 per cent, and In the third de-
cade, which Is, Of course. still more
incomplete. the excess of boys thus far,

While it would tardlr- be safe to

further investigation, they are good so

+, JAPANESE WAR FINANCE.

New York Times.-The report Of thel
finance department of japan that the
cost of the war, UP to the end Of Julysl
has been but $100.000,000 10 astonish-1
ing In moderation. One would like tod
see the items OF the statement, and tA1
keeping adopted. The official finan-l
ciers of Europe must be particularlJfj

Is no doubt is q first -class war andl

on 80 very reasonable terms. Thetn|
panese statement that 70 per cent Oh
the money has been spent at home
leaving only beggarly account o.
$30.000,o00 spent abroad.
This looks almost incredible. WheN
the civil war in this country broke. out,l
the United States comprised 10000, 000I
against the 45r0o0,000 which CONSTITUTED
Roughly. the loyal states contained
two-thirds Of this number, or 10000, j
900. July 1, 1850, our national debt
was in round numbers, $4,000. 0o0.,
July l, 1861, when the war had been,
going on about two months and half,i
counting from the firing on Sumpter,
the national debt was 500 100000. Butt
the war was still a small affair com-'
pared with that Of Japan. We did mott
begin to take 1t seriously enough until,
after Bull Run. By the first Of the foi-i
lowing July (1862) the debt had,
amounted to s524,0Oo,O0O. And we by!
no means had as much to show for Il
as Japan now hast At the beginning
of 1862 we had neither an army nor o.
navy, only an armed mob which was
converted into an army in the course
of that year, and a navy of ships all
ready obsolescent, while Japan had
already vast army under perfect dis
cipline, which has repeatedly proved
its quality and navy which for its
size is not outclassed by that Of any
other power. How do they manage to
do it?

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

Cedar Rapids Republican.-Justice
White Of the supreme court of New
York has held that the 8-hour law on
public cantracts is unconstitutional.
He holds that restriction on the
hours of labor Is a deprivation of
property, which the state cannot exer-
else. That is a man is entitled to work
ten hours II he wants to work that
many hours and earn money accord
ingly. That is, IL man can earn
$3.50 day working eight hours, but
he Is offered $3.50 If he will work ten
hours, then he has a constitutional
right to work ten hours and get the
dollar extra. The state cannot de-
prtve him of that right to earn the ex-
ira dollar, for If the state attempted to
do that it would be depriving that la
boring man Of part of his property.
1t is the thing he has for sale, the
thing that he can exchange for money
and the state cannot restrict him in
disposing Of that property.
Here is somewhat intricate ques-
ton presented The case has been APP
pealed to the higher courts and will go
to the supreme court Of the United
States ultimately. The question looks
simple enough but there NAV be larger
questions enter into It, For instance,
II it could be argued that the public
good could be promoted by the shorter
hours of labor, would the right to
make contract be allowed to interfere
with that? The labor contention is
along that line. but it is incumbent on
them to show that public health or
public morals are promoted by pre-
venting man from working. say ten
hours a day.

COMMENT ON THE MiLLloNAIREs

Kansas City Times.-The democratic
millionaires who stood in the rain at
Esopus to hear Judge Parker's speech
have expressed themselyec unanimous
ly as highly pleased with the address.
Chairman Taggart exclaimed in his
enthusiasm that it insured the nomi-
nee's election, while the immaculate Mr.
Murphy, the good boss of Tammany,
asserted with trembling voice 1t had
the true ring of sincerity"
/, Some Of the other leaders were
equally impressed. 1t may be suppos-
ed that Mr.. August Belmont director
Of more than thirty corporations and
American representative of the Roths-
childs, sought out his brother Perry
and with tears in his ewes declared
that he had never heard such whole
plain people. Mr.. Thomas Ryan
financier) is understood to have chok-
ed with emotion at the passages de-
nouncing violation of law and to have
murmured. Beautiful, beautiful" anc
How true" at the remarks about the
Colorado trouble.
But the most intense appreciation
was, Of course, manifested over The
portions of the address devoted to the
trusts. When the Judge spoke of the
multiplication Of monopolies George
Foster Peabody director or vice presi-
dent of numerous corporations), Cord
Myer Counsel for the sugar trust)
w. F. Sheehan Corporation magnate)
and Col Guffey Largest individual
producer of petroleum in the world)
could scarcely refrain from falling up
on each others necks in flood Of inv
GUS tears But the climax of grateful
emotion was reached when the candi-
date declared that in his opinion ex-
listing statutes were sufficient to dea,
with the trust evils and that there was
no need Of additional legislation. Al
this point mighty shout of approval
arose that shook all of the houses ir
Esopus to their verv foundations.
At the conclusion of the exercises II
is understood that a paper was circu-
lated for signature announcing that
in the opinion of $4,000, 100000 Of as:
sembled corporation capital the effort
was the most masterful in American
history and that Judge Parker was the
greatest statesman of the age. Also
three cheers were given FOR the plair
people!

HARMONY AND "HARMoNY.r

There is great deal of difference
between harmony. real, and char
mony. The republican party this year
is harmonious, but the brand Of char
mony" evidenced in the democratic
party In Iowa Is not complete without
Quotation marks. Someway the demo-
Gratis will not forget this and as an
instance that the Hearst men are not
yet through being "sore" over their
defeat at st. Louis and at Iowa City
after having carried the state conen-
ton at Des Moines in May, the New
ton News, of which George F. Rinehart
was form erly editor and over which
he now exerts an influence. So 1t is
said, comes out with an editorial sug-
costing Charles D. Fullen, of Ottumwa,
a representative Of the reorganizers, as
the nominee for congress against Ma
jor Lacey in the sixth district.
1t has been quite clear throughout
the quarrel that Mr. Rinehart was
rather angry at the reorganizers, such
as Mr.. Fullen, but it was hardly
thought that his feeling of enmity
would cause him to wish Mr.. Fullen
any misfortune so great as being the
nominee against Major Lacey. Surely
Mr.. Fullen did not prompt Sam Wright
to make his little speech about the Gun
bought and unpurchasable democrats
of Iowa." the speech that brought, Mr..
Rinehart the appointment on the mott.
fication committee of which he never
took advantage. Mr.. Fullen. to be
sure, was active at Des MONIES, when
the big Hearst fight was on in May,
but he did no more than good many
others and it is hard to see why Mr..
Rfnehart should pick him out from
among the rank and file of the anti
Hearst men and suggest him for de-
feat. OF course, it is possible that Mr..
Rinehart did not say it, and the News
must take the responsibility but the
editorial has all the indications of Mr..
Rinehart's authorship. 1t says:
about the best way to really make
test case OF the claims that have
been made by that element of the DEM
ocratic party which has been clamor-
ing for reorganization and a return to

with interest. Mr.. Fullen is a fair
representative of the element which

party, and should be the strongest man
which that element could suggest. Ma.

THE IOWA STATE FAIR,

Today sees the opening Of the Iowa
state fair at Des Moines. All reports
from the capital city say that the prep.
arations this year indicate that the
fair will be a grand success. In spite
of the fact that it is pitted against the
larger exposition at ST. Louis it has
many exhibits from various points in
Iowa. Fifty years ago the first Iowa
state fair was held at Fairfield and
since that time the standard has been
raised every year until now the an.
nual event is one of the greatest in
the west. This year there are several
new features. The races will be good.
the agricultural, manufacturing, and
stock exhibits are large and of high
grade, the speakers on the special
days are of more than statewide fame
and the only thing required to make
the fair complete success is good
weather.
