American industries thrive. The Dem

ROOSEVELT GOOD ENOUGH
The People Like the Pre.ident's Dem
ocratic Ways.
lJohn S. Wise, of Virginia.l

[John S. Wise, of Nirginin.l
The people have seen more of Roose-
velt-now as youth and cowboy and
sportsman and naval secretary and po-
lice commissioner and soldier and gov
crnor and President to think themselves
fair judges of his ingram democratic and
republican personality. They believe he
would eprng at and grapple with a
usurper or a monarchist as fiercely as
he would lasso a wild broncho or fight
Spanard. And they like his demo
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
,lreds of thousands-of Democrats see
more real democracy in the vigorous. ag-
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
Of the American people and the things

manhood is l would, il l were a betting

A press telegram dated Cumberland,
Nd. Sept. Z, says:
at 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 n similar amount.
Mrs. Elkins and Mrs. Arthur Lee.
daughters of Mr.. Davis, are known to
have objected to their father contribut-
ing large sums, and his son, John II.
Davis, is said to have done likewise.
-Four years ago John 4. Davis spent
large sum in four counties when his
Uncle Tom was candidate for Con-
gress, but no results were obtained. Col.

Since then the Davises have little faith

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

PENSION ORDER, NO. 7s.
President Roosevelt's Action Is In
Line with Law and Precedent.

President Roosevelt's Action Is In
Line with Law and Precedent.
The groundless 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
read the act OF June 27, 1890. as amend
ed May 0, 1900. will find 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 naval service of the
United States during the late war of the
rebellion and who have been honorably dis
charged therefrom, and who now or
who may hereafter be suffering from
mcntn! or physical disability Of perma-
vicious habits. which incapacitates them
from the performance of manual labor In
such degree MS to render them unable to
earn support. shall, upon making due
proof of the fact according to such rules
and regulations ns the Secretary OF the
Interior may, provide. be placed upon the
States and be entitled to receive n pen
sion not exceeding $12 per month. md not
less than 50 per month, proportional to the
degree Of inability to earn n support, and
In determining such inability each and ev-
cry disability shall be duly considered, md
the aggregate Of the disabilities shown shall
be rated.
Thus, as plain as words can make 1t,
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 disabled for the performance of
manual labor 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 All. U. S. Revised Statutes,
that President Roosevelt gave the cele
brated order which has been called an
evidence of "usurpaton." imperialism"

THE W0RKINGMAN's FRIEND,
Railway Firemen Paw Notable Trib-
ute to President Roosevelt.


ute to President Roose~eit
No President ever received a more
notable tribute from 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 Hannnhan, in conclud-
ing an address, called attention to the
fact that New York newspaper had
criticised the President because he had
accepted an 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-
larly those who are intrusted with the
direction of our government and the
management of the nations greatest en-
terprises wonld 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
your shouted an intoxicated man, who
stood near the stage door on the right.
What has the President donef" 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 an organiza-
tion of men whose faces are begrimed
by smoke and dust, and who daily and
hourly face the gravest dangers
The monster audience burst into
deafening 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.
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 on
the stage sat silent and made no effort
either to check or urge on the remark
able ovation which the President had re-
ceived. The Brotherhood does not per-
init politics to influence its action, but
its members, regardless of party, enter
tain a high opinion of President Roose-
welt and will stand by him as firmly as
he stands by them.

TAMMANY "TAR WATER. "
Will It Prove an ceptable beverage
to Respectable Democrats:


to Respectable Democrats:
Judge Parker's "admonition," ad-
dressed to his waning supporters. in his
speech to the visiting editors, has in it,
for all its rhodomontade, a shadow of
the pathetic.
1t is little wonder that there are dis
sensions in the Democratic camp. as
staid gentlemen from the South, East
and West, men who have certain tradi-
tons of responsibility to reckon with,
find that their candidate is and always
has been cheek by jowl with David
Bennett Hill and hand in glove with
Tammany.
Judge Parker. recognizing the dangers
of his position. but unable to shake off
the political associates and methods by
which he has risen, pleads fervently for
1.-THE elimination of personal, factional
and unimportant differences involving no
surrender of principle" Such elimina-
tion, he declares, "is essential to sue
cess"
But will the Democrats drink the
Tammany "tar water?"
There is something to be said-or
there WAS-in favor, even. of "tar
water" Bishop Berkeley in his famous
eulogy upon that old-fashioned but un-
pleasant mixture declared: "IT is OF
A NATURE so MILD AND BENIGN
AND PROPORTIONED TO THE
HUMAN CONSTITUTION AS TO
WARM WITHOUT HEATING, TO
CHEER BUT NOT INEBRIATE."
Still, tar water went out of fashion!
The Springfield herald., 1904-09-30

The truth is. there is now more dis
affection in the Democratic party than
there was when Bryan was nominated
the first time. Neither Bryan Demo
Gratis nor friends of W. Il. Hearst will
support Parker. In New York Stare the
Bryanites have put State Pvpunst
ticket in the field and will vote for Wat
son. the Populist nominee for the Presi-
dency. In New Jersey the Hearstites
have organized the Peoples Demo
cratic party" and will fight the regular
organization. In Indiana and other
States the free silver and Bryan Dems-
Gratis are in arms and will worry the
Parker party.
