Now, why does Mr. Pulitzer wish TO

He knows that the national Democracy
is very hungry and very thirsty ana
that it is weary Of feeding upon the

The Lone Fisherman.

1t Is only one of the curiosities Of an
America national campaign the result
of which is foreordained, but IL
Il more than a slight degree of
interest. Where Is the Lone Fisher
man, the man who has been twice
president of the United States? Where
is he, and what Is he going to do be-
tween the present time and the Sth o.
November?
What is he thinking about-this
Lone Fisherman, and what are his in
clinations? We are all interested in
him as we should be interested In any
ex-president OF the United States, AMI
being interested, we have also a Curl
osity. What about Cleveland? Is that
portly and forceful old gentleman going
to have anything to do with polit cs
this year or is he simply intent upon
the consideration of the subject of
lines, bait and all that sort Of thing?
The impression seems to prevail, AM
one apparently justified, that the sage
Of Princeton is not much interested In
the sage OF Esopus. The sage Of
Princeton has at least a certain call
Der, and the two men do not fit.
Still. we all want to know what the
Lone Fisherman is going to do.

But with those at whom the shot

A THING E L 0 N

A Record That Recommends Roosevelt to
the Voters.
The relations between capital and
labor in the United States are the e&-
istent conditions which affect the well
fare OF many millions of people. The
relations between any administration
and the adjustment of these ques-
tons must necessarily be careful and
most delicate.
What has happened In this relation
under the administration Of President
Roosevelt? What happened and what
tic miners strike In Pennsylvania ?
Who "a il who devised. in a plain,
commOn-sense, American way. a solu-
ton of the problem which affected the
welfare of hundreds of thousands? OF
course that is all. now, relatively, an
old story. The man who did this with
his common-sen was the present
candidate of the Republican party for
the presidency. He ventures upon
things, and he does them well from a
straightforward, patriotic point OF
view.
1t Is not a good thing to bear in mind
that the record Of what Theodore
Roosevelt did in connection with the
Pennsylvania labor troubles is n of
the greatest recommendations for his
election to the presidency? There was
q delicate situation-;t was even q
question whether the president should
intervene or not. He did intervene,
with wholesome manliness, and the re-
suit was for the good of a great mass
of the people. Could there be a better
campaign document than the plain
story of what this man did in straight
ening out Of relations between capital
and IA bor In PENNSYLVANIA

Imperialism of steel.

When the great iron and steel in
dustry of the United States thrives,
other American industries thrive. The
Democratic party could not legislate
to destroy the protection to the iron
and steel industry without legislaulng
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 Repub-
lican rule would have been earned, If
at all, by foreign nations, had Demo
cratic policies prevailed during the last
eight years. The gigantic rise of this
industry during the last eight years
added enormously to the wealth Of
the United States, and every branch or
American industry and agriculture uas
been stimulated by II. Prosperity at
home and prestige abroad has indeed
been intimately connected with the in
creasing imperialism Of steel, which
once was Pauper but now is King.

David b. Hill stated, in one of his
speeches, that Mr.. Roosevelt, on taking
the oath Of office after the death Of
President Mckinley, said that he would
not be a candidate FOR president IL
1904.
President Roosevelt has never made
q promise as to his own personal ac-
ton which he did not redeem. The
president is outspoken, fair and
square. These are characteristics OF
the man. He makes no promises he
does not intend to keep. and he keeps
such as be makes.
The silly story started by Hill had
no foundation In fact, and 1t 10 really
not worth the ink and paper that has
been used in denying It. except that II
