The people have seen more Of Roose-

fair judges of his ingram democratic and
republican personality. They believe he

he would lasso q wild bronchO or fight

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-nay, hun
dreds OF thousands-of Democrats see
more real democracy in the vigorous. az
eressive, wideawake Theodore Roosevelt
than in the colorless, 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

1t is droll. the attitude of the Demo-

poets the people to support them, while
the Democratic National Committee and
Tammany are expected to buy or steal
success.

THE WORKINGMAN'S FRIEND.
Railway Firem-n Pay a Notable Trib-
ute to President Roosevelt.

No President ever received q 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. 13. 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 a honorary membership in the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
Let me say said Mr.. Hannahan, that
if 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 i'll
Will nor deserve the censure of any of
his fellOw-men. (Cheers.)
If the rest of the public. and particu-
larry 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 a common level, there
would be fewer strikes and less strife
and more of peace and goodwill in the
industrial world"
What has the President done for
you?' 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 IN organiza-
ton of men whose faces are begrimed
by smoke II dust, and who daily and
hourly face the gravest dangers"
The monster audience burst into
d%eafening 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 it died down and some one in
the audience shouted:
"Hurrah for Theodore Roosevelt"
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 Oh
the stage sat silent and made no effort
either to check or urge on the remark
Ifble ovation which the President had re-
xeived. The Brotherhood does not per-
nit politics to influence its action, but
it's members, regardless of party, enter
tain a high opinion of President ROose-
velt and will stand by him as firmly as
he stands nv them

PENSION ORDER, NO.. 70.
President ROOSEVELT Action Is In
Line with Law and Precedent.

The g%roundless character of the charge
that President Roosevelt has exceeded
his constitutional powers is shown clear
ly by examination of the facts and the
laws concerned in the executive action
known as the "age pension order" issued
last March by direction of the President
Anyone who will take the trouble to
lead the act of June 27, 1890, as amend
ed May .. 1900, will find a clear basis
to begin with. 1t directs who shall have
pensions. and how the amount of the
pension. in each case, snail be determin-
ed, as follows:
All persons who served 90 days or more
in the military or naval service OF the
United States during the late war Of the
rebellion and who have been honOrably dis
charged therefrom. and who are now or
who may hereafter be suffering from n
mental or physical disability of a perma-
nent character, not the result of their own
vicious habits, which incapacitates them
from the performance of manual labor in
such n degree as to reuder them unable to
earn a support, shall, upon making due
proof of the fact according to such rules
and regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may provide be placed upon the
list of invalid pensioners of the United
States and be entitled to receive a pen
sion not exceeding So per month, and not
less than So per month. proportional to the
degree of inability to earn a support, and
in determinihS .nch inability each and ev.
the aggregate&SH ne disabilities shown shall
be rated.
Thus. as plain as words can make it,
is authority given to the Secretary of the
Interior to determine what pension shall
be paid to any applicant for pension who
served ninety days in the War of Re
bellion, was honorably discharged, and
who is disa1Ed- for the performance of
manual lab2 by any cause other than
the results of his own vicious habits.
The Supreme Court has decided that
upon the point of establishing the rate Of
pension to be'paid, within the limits pre-
scribed by the law the Secretary of the
Interior has entire control. The only
check or supervision upon him is from
the President of the United States, whom
the general laws specifically direct shall
have control of the Commissioner of Pen
sions and the administration of the pen
sion system.
Therefore, it was directly in line with
the duties imposed upon him according
to section Al, U. S. Revised Statutes,
that President Roosevelt gave the cele-
brated order which has been called an
evidence of "~usurpation," Imperialism
"a desire to override the constitution"
a ''looting of the treasury" n other
hard names. by excitable Democrats. The
section of the Revised Statutes referred
to reads as follows:
The Commissioner of Pensions shall
perform, under the direction of the Sec
rotary of the Interior, such duties in the
execution of the various pension and
bounty-land laws as may be prescribed
by the President
President Roosevelt, in his pension Or
der, did no more than his plain duty. act
ing strictly within the powers conferred
upon him by the Congress of the United
States.

Mr.. DAVIS CONTRIBUTION
Democratic Vice Presidential Candi-
date Draws the Line at $4,000.

Democratic Vice Residential Candi-
date Draws the Line at $4,000.
A press telegram dated Cumberland,
Md, Sept. Z, says:
1T 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. He has fixed the
amount for all purposes at $4,000 and
his brother, Col. Thomas B. Davis of
Keyser, w. Va, gave a similar amount.
Mrs. Elkins and Mrs. Arthur Lee,
daughters OF Mr.. Davis, are known to
have objected to their father contribute
ing large sums, and his son, John L.
Davis. is said to have done likewise.
-Four years ago John T. Davis spent
a large sum in four counties when his
Uncle Tom was a candidate for Con-
gress, but no results were obtained. Col.
Davis being defeated by a large vote.
Since then the Davises have little faith
in politicians judiciously expanding
money"
There's some sense in the Davis fam
lily, it appears. The ex-senator himself
has always succeeded in hanging on to
his dollars.
How much better it will be to use
some of papa's money to buy pretty bon
nets and gowns with, than to throw them
to the m~ocking-birds of the Democratic
campaign committed.
And all for nothing, too.

lmperiaIism Of Steel.

When the great iron and steel indus
try of the United States thrives, other
American industries thrive. The Dem
ccratic party could not legislate to de-
stroy the protection to the iron and steel
industry without legislating 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
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.
