THE "BIG STICK" LIE.
Nonpnrtisau TestimonythatR Roosevelt
Is Leader of Peace Movement.

Is Leader of Peace Movement.
Apropos OF the silly Democratic charge
that Mr. Roosevelt il war lord" il is
interesting to note how the lnterparlia-
mentary Union views the President. The
Union is composed Of some of the lead
ing parliamentarians Of Europe, who Wis.,
tied this country in the interest of inter
national arbitration and peace. The Wis
itors were entertained at luncheon by the
National Civic Federation in New York
recently. Here is what Thomas Tough,
an Irish member OF the Union in pro-
posing toast to the President of the
United States said. as reported by the
New York World, newspaper that has
been pcturing Mr.. Roosevelt AS a yerita-
bic god OF war:
We, who are visitors here after n few
days regard him ruler Of one OF the
mightleSt powers of the earth who has
taken more distinct step In the interest
or peace than perhaps any other power
has taken. He Is not only great ruler
himself but IL II worthy representative OF
great line OF rulers who have done much
for the liberties OF mankind.
w. Randall Cremer, noted member
of the British Parliament, also praised
the President. The sovereigns of Ell-
rope, he declared, were ready to listen to
peace propositions, always with
but. He then said:
Not 10 your young President no, but,
but, but with him In any OF his utter
ances He talked In a clear, manly tone,
straight from the shoulder--noble words
and we all rejoice In his statement OF Sat
urday and In his assurance that the great
United States Will sign what we failed
eighteen years ago to get
Others spoke in the same strain, giving
nom partisan testimony that President
Roosevelt has done more to aid the uni
versal peace movement than any other
President
The big stick" bugaboo is not worry
ing anybody but those Democrats who
are foolish enough to think they can be-
guile the voters by mutilating the Presi-
dents speeches and twisting their mean
ing into the opposite of what he said.
Democracy has never yet been able to
conduct an honest campaign. Hypocrisy,
deception and forgery are the chief tenets
of its creed.

unsatisfactory industrial condition of the
country. seems to demand political
change"
The official announcement that the
stockholders of the Pennsylvania RaiI-
road Company now number 44.950-an
increase of 81 per cent. since May, 1902
is significant bit of testimony in a
new quarter TO the fact that here in the

MINERS LIKE ROOSEVELT.
William Little Tells Why the Presi-
dent Should Re Elected.

Democracy's campaign managers are
trying their utmost to show that PreSi-
dent Roosevelt is not the friend of the
wage-earner, but are meeting with re-
bluffs on every hand. All the big, pros
porous labor organizations are non-par-
tisan strictly ignoring politics as body
but influential members are not chary in
expressing their views Individually. Will
liam Little, Il member OF the executive
board of the United Miners Of America,
is. as careful an observer of public senti-
ment as can be found in the great army
of toilers. He travels extensively, and
has become conveyed, after talking with
representative la4or unionists through
the country, that there is nothing or
nobody in it but Roosevelt" as he terse-
ly sizes up the political situation. In an
interview in the Labor World of Pitts
burg, printed in its issue of Sept. 2,
Mr.. Little says:

they will do most good. We eau do this by

MUST TRUST ROOSEVELT.
There Is No other Alternative for the
workiugmen.

Wage earners, though saying little, are
taking a deep interest in the campaign.
They have compared the records OF the
two leading Presidential candidates, and
have found Parker wanting in sympathy
for the workingmen. Roosevelt's record
speaks for itself He has never lost an
opportunity to show, by word and deed
that he is heart and soul in sympathy
with the toiler. In this connection the
following extract from an editorial in
the Western Laborer. Of Omaha, one Of
the best known organs of union labor in
the West, is interesting:

FRUIT, RIPE AND GREEN

Fruit Is recommended as an exeel-
lent health food, and a remedy against
many physical Ills. But II the recom-
mendation is to be followed II Is neces-
sary to remember that fruit, to be
healthy, must have been picked ripe
The oriental idea that the strength OF

fruit eaten before ripe, consequently
is preferable, Is not admitted to be cor
rect. Those who recommend fruit as
food, mean ripe fruit--fruit as prepar-
ed IN natures own great establishment.
But II Is well known that nearly all
fruit that Ia imported from a consider
able distance is picked green, and per-
mitted to "ripen" in transit or in the
market. Such fruit, though apparent
" ripe, is not wholesome. It is picked
before made ready for consumption by
nature. and therefore almost UNFIT for
the table.
The lesson OF these facts is that fruit
should be eaten In the season there

is that foreign fruit instead of being
