DON'T FORGET CONGRESS.
1t Is Very Important that 1t Should
Be Republican,,

In the great political contest which
occurs in th6s country every four years,
and which lis now on, the election of
President is apt to overshadow all other
interests. This ought not to be 50. The
President is the head of the executive
branch of the government, but the legis-
lative branch is equally as important.
Republicans should remember that it is
as important to hold Congress as it is
to elect the President. The election of
Judge Parker would mean much more
than the induction of his personality into
that high office. His election would mean
the election of a Democratic House of
Representatives, and this would be most
unfortunate, because:
First, the Democratic party, composed
as it is of all the distracted elements of
the country, is not capable of success
fully administering the affairs of this
government. 1t has not the capacity to
deal with the great problems that now
confront us. Second, a Democratic
House of Representatives would mean
that the entire legislative machinery Of
that body would be placed in the control
of the South the Speaker, the committee
on rules, and all the important commit
tees, as well as the chairmanships of the
same, would be composed largely of
Southern men and the great interests Of
the North would be subordinated to
Southern policies. In answer to this it
may be said that Democratic House
could do no harm, as the Senate would
still be Republican and could prevent
any unwise or radical legislation. But a
Democratic House could prevent Republi-
can legislation, and great harm might
result from that. The election of Re
publican Congress is scarcely second in
Importance to the election Of a Republi-
can President.

CANDIDATES COMPARED.
why Roosevelt Is More Popular thar
Parker

The New York Sunday Democrat, a
newspaper that recently boited Parker
and came out for Roosevelt, in giving
the reasons why the Parker campaign
is languishing and the Roosevelt cam
paign is booming, says
Judge Parker has few Of the attri-
butes of popularity; Theodore Roosevelt
has them all.
Parker Is timid; Roosevelt is brave.
Parker is controlled by friends and
patrons: Roosevelt is independent.
Parker represents no policy and has
no political record; Roosevelt is one Of
the acknowledged progressive statesmen
of the century and his record is the rec
ord Of the sunshine years of militant
and advancing Americanism.
LAS there is practically no one to Wig
orously oppose there is no one to active
~ defend Judge Parker as political
staDdard-bearer. Theodore Roosevelt in
vites the fire of partisan enemies and at
tracts to his support thousands of pat
riotic and earnest admirers.
Judge Parker is a weak candidate, an
unwise candidate, an unfortunate candi-

date for the presidency. life of judi
cial monotony and exclusion from poht-
ical affairs does not appeal to the allie
glance Of partisans Theodore Roosevelt
is strong, a vigorous, an inv1ncible
candidate for the presidency. He is a
man of action nominated for an cleo
torate of Astounding energy, force and
progress. He is, especially, the idol of
the young men of the country.
ut is, therefore, not at all surprising
that as the voters contrast these two
candidates they should be irresistibly
drawn to one--to Roosevelt-and should
be repealed from or become indifferent
to his antagonist, Parker Such is the
present trend of the campaign and 1t is
decidedly favorable to President Roose-

ton exists or is entertained by anyone
familiar with politics, Democrat or Re

rhe Viking Fringe.

The northern fringe of the United
States is being rapidly and densely popu-
lated with people from Norway, Sweden
and Denmark This is right, for we are
OF them. We are of the trend of human
ity which populated England and made
the Anglo-Saxon and subsequently made
the United States, and whose descend
ants generally vote the Republican ticket.
If any one doubts that the Northern
States in which are settled so many of
our own Scandinavians will this year go
anything but Republican-well, he should
be taken care of by his friends.

Are Dragging Too Soon.

me Yet -AutCA OGHUGEAk DOSocS
Are Bra ggiuH Too Soon.
Certain Democrats, with the exuber-
ance of the newly rich, are Boosting of
the States they are going to carry by
means of their big campaign fund. There
il no telling what may happen, even
with money in the treasury. Only day
or two ago, one politician from West
Virginia was bewaiing certain we'll

money. They are thinking a good deal
Of campaign money in West Virginia

the Democratic camp said, in effect, that
West Virginia is likely to go Republican
this fall 1.-THE niggers will all vote the
Republican ticket" he declared, ''those
who are allo wed to vote. They'll take
our money and then go and vote the Re
publican ticket straight"
This is complication of great import
to our erring brethren oil the opposing
camp. 1t was not always thus, but now,
with the Australian ballot in some form,
in use in many States it is a sad fact
that the riffraff who sell their votes take
the money and then vote as they please.
The Oil trust can put it's money into
the Parker campaign fund, but it cannot
buy even one of its own vast army of
employees, nor any of its victims in the
world of business.
The Democrats are pulled up over
their fat pocketbook, but it won't help
them in the coming election. The people
prefer to have money in their own peck
cts, honest money which they have been
able to earn themselves, in a time of
prosperity and industrial activity such

MONEY FOR LABOR.
Nearly Half Billion Dollars More
for Naoea.

Nearly Half a Billion Dollars More
for Wages.
The census of 1900 showed that the
wages of all classes of labor in all the
manufacturing industries Of the United
States was s., 322 1873 81. as against ST.
sol .228, 321 in 1904 gain Of $431, 1885,
$50.
The census reports of wages for labor
and salaries for clerks and officers EN-
ployed in manufacturing industries for
the last three decades are as follows:
1900. ..... $403, III ,233 $2,322, 1873, SIT
1890. ......... 391 $685. 1881, 228. 81
"1oSO. .....''.' ...''.'''' S7''7'"'''"
No census taken.
Had these census reports included the
period from 1894 to 1904 the compari-
son would be far more striking, for
thousands OF workingmen lost their jobs
shortly after the last Democratic admin
istration QS93-189O went into power,
and there were very few workingmen of
those able to keep their jobs who did not
ha, to submit to at least some reduction
in wages.
Those were the days when Democracy
: piled trouble on to trouble, and seemed
to leave nothing undone that could be
done to bring impoverishment to the
American workingman.
The entire country was made sort OF
| laboratory for original Democratic ex-
perimentation in various explosive pro-
ducts and by-products, including especial
" free trade, free silver, free riot and
free soup. 1t mattered not that desola-
ton was brought into thousands of
American homes, that the worklngman
and his wife and little ones were pinched
| for the necessities of life, so long as
Democracy was given the chance to ex-
pertinent with the idea of taking the
home market away from American indus
try and giving it to the foreigner, and
! anita gonizing business interests by agita-
ton against the gold standard.
After William Mckinley was elected
President and the policies of protection
and of sound money once again estab-
hshed. the phenomenal growth of the
| United States in wealth and prosperity
attracted the wonder of all civilized ma
tons: and this growth has continued
with accelerating velocity up to the pres
ent time.
The census Of 1900 recorded this great
upward movement when it was only
about half way to where it is now. OF
course. an increase of nearly half bill
ion dollars in workingmen's wages does
not concern the workingman alone by
any means. 1t concerns every business
| man in the United States, every farmer,
and every woman and child dependent
on the labor of others for their support.
For instance, if the wages of labor in
manufacturing industries had not in
creased in the millions the per capita
consumption of wheat could not have in
creased from 3.44 bushels in 1894 to 6.33
bushels in 1904, and the price of wheat
almost doubled. Prosperity is always
made up of an almost endless chain of
circumstances, and it is only by having
every link sound and strong that pros
perity for all can be preserved.

"No going behind the returns may be
the idea Of some politicians, but Charles

ted with frictlonless ball.bearing axles.

had ball-bearlng aNles, while the SONS OF

was not OF the ball.bearing axle kind.
