Mccarrcn and the 9th. rs.

What started the trouble at Milligan's
wake was that Casey brought a bottle
OF wood alcohol and drank it!
McCarren Of Brooklyn has drunk q
pint of wood alcohol, and that is one
OF the things that is accomplishing the
d~isintegration OF lower New York poll
ties and will prevent the giving of the
great foreign Democratic majority down
around Manhattan Island, which some
times offsets the vote throughout the
State, where apple blossoms grow.
They are talking about ode, lismSs
and factions in the Republican party.
Undoubtedly there are some differences
among the Republicans in New YORK.
But, as for preventing the accumulation
Of votes the differences between the Sd
lent. fierce factions about Manhattan ISL
and among the Democracy may be sai0

can situation.
Some one Of the Democratic leaders
has admitted that Roosevelt could be
elected should q vote be taken to-day.
This is going to be one OF the most gold
ell of Octobers, blending into a Novem-
Der when things will happen, and the
extent to which Roosevelt could be elect
ell to-day does not compare with that By
which he will be elected on Nov. 8.

MUST TRUST ROOSEVELT.
There Is No Other Alternative for the
yorkingmen.

Wage earners, though saying little, are
taking q deep interest in the campaign.
They have compared the records of the
two leading Presidential candidates. and
have found Parker wanting in syL.pauLy
fer the ~workingmen. Roosevelt's record
speaks for itself. He has never lost an
opportunity to show, by word and deed,
that he is heart and soul in sympathy
with the toiler. In this connection the
following extract from an editorial in
the Western Laborer, of Omaha, one of
the best known organs Of union labor in
the West, is interesting:
The workers Of the doubtful States must
trust Roosevelt because they know him
and because of what they know him TO
have done as assemblyman at Albany, as
governor Of New York and President OF
the United States. IL the workers I'm the
doubtful States will read Parker's letter
comfort for labor In that, and will GER
taiuly conclude that the long looked.for
document IL the work of n designing knaye
or incompetent and certainly not the work
OF Il statesman, because IL Is fiat. stale and
Improbable to the reader, closely resemb-
ling all his other expressions In which he
has expressed nothing tangible In any Of
his promises or propositions, wherein moth
Ing Is but what Is not" and the very fact
that the anti-union solid south is anxious
for his control OF the government should
be sufficient TO alarm all iberty-loying,
generous hearted and fair minded men.
We must trust Roosevelt. There Is no
alternative for the workers Of the United
States,

The PARTY OF The FLAG.

The old flags still a-waving, the starr
are clean and white,
The red and blue are cleaning. a JOY
to every sight.
With drum beat and with trumpet, with
musket and with sword
The old flag came TO being, each thread
with glory stored.
We held it high, triumphant, when II
was but q rag.
And still we stand beneath ii, the party
of the flag!
The old flag ard it's story! The old flag
and its truth.
We wove it in the passions that marked
the nations youth;
We dyed it in the lifeblood of our heroic
sons:
1t wrapped the laureled caskets Of ouS
heroic ones.
l. waves to-day in honor from forepeak
and from crag,
Aud we stand proud beneath it, the party
Of the flag.
The old flag and it's honor! The old Gag
and its pride!
1t shakes a silent challenge whenever tie
defied;
1t whispers us a blessing all through the
starry night;
1t sings a song of safety when blazing
in the light.
1t bushes all contention, all buster and
all brag,
And we stand firm beneath it, the party
Of the flag.
The old flag and its meaning! The story
ii has made!
The story of brave actions, of soldiers
unafraid,
tbs story OF stern duty; Of faith that
there should be
One land from south to northland, one
land from sea to sea.
We held it high, triumphant, shot-rid-
died and a rag;
And still we stand beneath it, the party
of the flag!

THE "BIG STICK" LIE.
N~onpartisan Testimorythat Roosevelt
Is Leader Of Pence Move ment.

Apr9pos OF the silly Democratic charge
that Mr.. Roosevelt is n war lord" it is
interesting to note how the Interparlia-
mentary Union views the President. The
Union is composed OF some OF the lead
ing parliamentarians OF Europe, who Wis.,
tied this country in the interest OF inter-
national arbitration and peace. The Wis.,
i'ors Were entertained at luncheon by the
National Civic Federation in New York
recently. Here is what Thomas Tough,
an Irish member OF the Union, in pro-
posing a toast TO the President of the
United States, said. as reported by the
New York World, n newspaper that has
been picturing Mr., Roosevelt us a yerita-
Bile god OF war:
We, who are visitors here. after n few
days regard him as a ruler OF one of the
mightiest powers Of the earth, who has
taken a more distinct step In the interest
or peace than perhaps any other power
has taken. He is not only a great ruler
himself, but Is n worthy representative OF
n great line of rulers who have done much
for the liberties of mankind.
w. Randall Cremer, q noted member
of the British Parliament. also praised
the President. The sovereigns OF Eu
rope, he declared, were ready to listen t
peace propositions always with
but" He then said:
Not so your young President; no, but,
but, but, with him in any OF his utter
ances. lie talked In n clear, manly tone,
straight from the sloulder-noble words
and we all rejoice In his statement of Sat-
urday and In his assurance that the great
United States Will sign what we failed
eighteen years ago TO get.
Others spoke in the same strain, giving
non-partisan testimony that President
Roosevelt has lone more to aid the uni
versal peace movement than any other
President.
The big stick" ~bugaboo is net worry
ing ANYBODY but those Democrats who
are foolish enough to think they can be-
guile the voters by mutilating the Presi-
dents speeches and twisting their mean
ing into the opposite OF what he said.
Democracy has never yet been able to
conduct al honest campaign. Hypocrisy,
deception and forgery are the chief tenets
of its creed.

FOR HOME AND FIRESIDE.
Lincoln Signed Homestead Law-Mil.
lions Thus Become FreehoIders.

The Homestead Law was passed by a
Republican Congress-Democrats oppos-
ing-and signed by President Abraham
Lincoln in 1862. 1t has proven to be
one OF the most beneficial measures ever
enacted by a Congress or signed by q
President. 1t has largely populated the
West, up to date, with independent
homecoming citizens. 1t opened to i'm
mediate settlement millions of acres of
public domain, chiefly west of the Mis-
sissippi. Settlers rushed in from the
Eastern States and from Europe. More
than any other influence, it has contrib
uted 30 the development Of the Western
States and the rapid growth of the ma
ton.
The Democratic party was true to it's
policy of obstruction in this, as it has
been In every other measure intended
for the good Of all the people. The first
bill, introduced in 1859, passed the
House by a vote of 100 to 76. The Re-
publicans were supported by a few scat
tering Northern Democratic votes, but
the Southern Democrats voted in a body
against it. The Senate was then Demo
cratic, and no vote was taken in the up
per house. In March, 1860, Mr.. Love
joy reported the Grow Homestead bill,
and it was passed by a vote of 115 to
90; all OF the affirmative votes, except
one, being from the free States. The
Senate passed n different bill and there
was a conference which finally agreed
upon a modified bill. This was vetoed
June 22, 1860, by the Democratic Presi-
dent, Buchanan.
In 1862, when the Republicans had a
majority of 81 in the House and II in
the Senate, a new homestead bill was
passed and signed by President Lincoln,
as stated. The measure was framed by
Republicans and passed by Republican
votes. At the same session were passed
the acts establishing a Department Of
Agriculture and providing for agricul-
tural colleges. In 1864, 1870 and 1872
bills were passed by Republicans giving
Union soldiers special homestead priv
ileges. These measures encouraged thou
sands of soldiers who were discharged
in 1865 and 1866 to emigrate from the
East to such States as Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and the Dakotas, in the middle
West.
There are many n strong reasons
why the western farmers, ranchmen ant
