SUSTAIN THE WELL
TRIED POLICIES

That politics is related to legislation
and legislation to the material well
fare of the citizen is being recognized
by the people. as their votes will show
to greater degree In every section.
Thoughtful men no longer permit
themselves to be the passive append
age of political organization They
ask. first. what does the organization
stand for and what Is 1t going to do
when 1t gets into power and obtains
control of the machinery OF the gov
eminent?
Thus. in 1896. men who had been
Democrats all their lives. and their
fathers before them, awoke TO the fact
that the political organization they
loved was proposing course which
II carried out would work the injury
of the material welfare of the country.
On the other hand they saw the party
which they had been taught to oppose.
standing for what they knew to be
the best interests of the people at
large
They left their old alignment and
ranged themselves with the organi-
zatioA which promised and which in
deed ultimately brought about
through wise legislation protection to
the business interests of the land.
Again. in subsequent election. when
once 1t was a question OF party organ
lzation against principles which their
Judgment affirmed, they still kept
away from the old party and voted
with their new friends.
The conditions are similar in this
election The Democratic party is
standing for its old ideals and aims;
1t has not changed n whit except to
be little less confident and assured
of its position and little less clear
on what 1t really does believe in.
How IA it with the Republicans?
They affirm their belief In stated prin-
ciples and policies. not new ones. but
policies that have been tried and that
have been found to work admirably.
The Republicans ask their friends and
allies In fights where the battle cry
has been the same to rally again to
the standard of protection and sound
money. of wise legislation along many
important lines and to elect Repub-
lican House of Representatives as
well as n Republican President that
the good work may continue uninter-
rupted.

From his chosen seat among the
catacombs Carl Schurz has dictated
dore Roosevelt for the egotism of his
personality This is the fifth presi-
dental campaign in which Mr.. Schurz
has assailed the Republican candi-
dates from the unscalable heights OF
his own colossal egotism. Other men
now and then have a suspicion that
all the rest of mankind differing from
them may be right Carl Schurz is
never troubled by any such weak mis-
trust in his own omniscience.

I'M Pc RIALISM.

Do not the antiimperialists remem-
Der that the party of Mckinley and
Roosevelt is the party that put an
end to the rotten monarchy of Hawaii,
raised the American flag, persuaded
the people to elect an American gov
ernor and invited them to send rep
resentative to Congress?
Do they foget that the party of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks hauled down
the imperial flag of Spain from Porto
Rico and the Philippines. yellow with
the accumulated oppression of centir-
les and red with the blood of inno-
,ent victims who dared to talk of lib
erty, and replaced 1t with the flag OF
the Union, which stands for Oppor-
tunty. progress, liberty and equal
ity?
Do they not wish to recall the fact
that Mckinley and his party assist
ed at the acorchment Of the Republic
Of Cuba. nursed it through the in
fant years. instructed it in all the
elements of good housekeeping and
then with paternal God bless you"
sent it on its way rejoicing?
Thus within the past few years the
yoke of Imperialism has been lifted
from the necks of more than 10000.
900 subjects and they have been put
in the way of becoming citizns. The
party has ever been prodigal. not
miserly in good works. and has ad-
yanced the cause of representative
government throughout the world.

Democratic Legislation has never
erected a factory, or given working
man job. or increased his wages. On
the contrary. it has put out factory
fires that Republican legislation had
lighted: II has closed mills that Re
publican legislation had opened. and
it has taken jobs from thousands OF
workingmen to whom Republican leg
islation had given employment No
American workingman owes anything
to the Democratic party.

oBss Patrick H. McCarren has in
directly conceded that Roosevelt will
carry New York by $4,000 to 10000.
In discussing what should be the pro-
per betting odds between Higgins and
Herrick. candidates for governor OF
New York. he said. IT was an even
thing, and Immediately thereafter in
answer to another question claimed
that Higgins would run $4,000 or 60.
900 behind Roosevelt Putting two and
two together would indicate that there
is no doubt in the boss mind how
New York will go in the national elec-
tiOn.

Whatever evil or menace there may
be in trusts and combinations of CAPT
tai, the people will take notice that the
Republican party Is the only one that
has attempted to break up Illegal
combinations of capital. During the
two administrations that the Demo
cratic party was in power 1t did
nothing. The Republicans passed
the Sherman antitrust law. and all
the suits under 1t have been institut-
ed by Republican administrations
the railroad Injunction suit. the cotton
pool case, the beef trust cases and
others. The Democratic party has
done nothing but talk.
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1904-10-24

Since 1896. the last year OF Demo
cratic administration in national al
fairs, the rate of interest on farm
mortgages has fallen from eight per
cent to six. This reduction in the
rate Of interest means a great deal to
farmers who borrow money to buy
more land or to make improvements,
and 1t Is due to Republican prosperity.

The question as to where Judge
Parker would apply the pruning knife
to national expenditures. whether In
the postoffice department, the army.
the navy or on pensions-items cover
ing more than so per cent. of the ma
tional expenditures-has not been an
swered. and won't be because nation
al honor, safety and mail facilities are
dependent on the appropriations for
these purposes.
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1904-10-24

Likewise. Parker has heard some.
thing about Illegal and dishonest
trusts but he doesn't know that there
IL anything TO be done about them.
And nobody cares about his ideas on
that question He'll never set any river
afire in his Indignation over the trusts
not even 4 river Of petroleum would
be ignited by such q match!

Probably the richest gold ore body
in America has been discovered
thirty miles north of this city in the
La Plata range of the Rocky Noun
tains Col Henry c. Demmng, Of
Harrisburg, Penn. the acting geoloe-
ist and minerologist of that state, has
heen working in these mountains near
La Plata City the past two sumers
and about a month ago found what
usually dark colored quartz. Assays
were made, and the mineral found To
average over $50 in gold. besides a
fair quantity of silver. The Colonel
was induced to make further exami-
nation. and he ultimately traced the
ore body for more than six miles. The
bed dips at various angles, and has u
thickness of from Is inches to three
feet. extending into the mountains
thousands OF feet. At some places the
ore assays over 5000 to the ton. one
sample going over $4,000. When the
deposit was traced there were only
- claims. of 800 feet width each
found on the line of the ore Two
other ore bodies Of great value have
since been discovered in close prox
imnty TO the first. Already claims are
being staked where the ore deposits
are. and excitement is intense. Con

fulness, but they havs abs )l1te conf

Df his motives and in hi dete, minina-
tion to administer the government in
