NOTHING CAN STAY PROGRESS.

This is country of great natural
wealth. The development and utiliza-
tion of it has made the country enor-
mously rich. It has grown vastly
wealthy not because of the Republican
party, but in spite of IT. It was srow
ing and prospecting before the Repub-
l1can party was born It would have
grown and prospered and expanded in
wealth and territory and greatness if
there never had been any Republican
party. But this Nation would not have
continued as prosperous Republic if
there had been no Democratic party.
This Nation was established and grew
into power and greatness under Dem
ocratlc guidance, min stration and lead
ershIp. Through the fear born of ig
norance of the history of their country
and of the primary principles of po!1tI-
cal economy there are voters to-day
who were not disposed to vote against
the r ,osevelt administration because
times are prosperous, and change of
Administration might change prosper
Gus conditions. Such as these are i'm
perVious to intelligent argument. The
mind that can credit the Republican
party with the favorable seasons that
produce bountiful crops and foreign
COL ditions that create good prices is
in hopeless ignorance. Hardly less
lntelligentis the mind thai traces pros
perity to high tariff, or that the
Democratic party with half century's
record of wise and benefcent admins
tration of affairs is inferior to The Rs-
publican party as an administrator of
Government.

MOST SWEEPING THE VICTORY.

The result of Tuesdays election
sounds the death knell of democracy,
il would seem. the blow being even
more staggering than those most fear
full of defeat even imagined could be
inflicted by the wielder of the Dig
stick. RooseveIt's victory was most
swsep1og, and again the banner OF
democracy goes down in overWheim-
ing and disastrous defeats defea'
from which it will require the party
manv wears 10 recover, if possible,
ever. Again money triumphs, and the
will of the people Is thwarted by the
millions contributed by the trusts to
pnrchase the cleo ion for the republic
can party, which promises them pro-
sec ion in return. Jud ge Parker made
gallant fight but hopeless one from
the first. IN view of the fact thai The
money power was determined to win,
regardless of the price exacted. The
reign of Roosevelt is now assured, and
with that u ter disregard of law and
of the constitu ion his rule will be as
absolute as that of the CT r. The
country enters now upon the most
dangerous era of Its existence. Intren-
ched privilege will become more AFRO
CANT. and mil1tarism will commence to
show it's teeth. With both branches
of Congress Overwhelmingly republl-
can, Roosevelt is more strongly intren-
ched than ever before, and feels that
his policy of the big stick is s3Iidly
endorsed. But despite the result; one
fact stands out boldly, and that is the
Democratic party has this year been
led by a man who would rather be
right than be President. Judge Park
er gave up a high judicial position to
accept the Democratic nomination,
and in doing so put aside salary OF
over $14, 900 year for about six years
It required q man to do that His
public uEterances, his every acs since
his name first came before the people
haye shown courage of high order,
an integrity of purpose never excelled
by public mar, and though defea ed,
his name IS written high up in the
galaxy of American sta esmen
