Gov. W. L. Douglass.

Massachusetts on the Democratic

ono of the most talked-about men
in the whole country. He stood
for an issue. Hear him tell about
it:
1t was n general vote that

the workiugmen, Farmers, business
men, lawyers and all classes. 1t was
due to the fact that l stood for
genuine issue.

was free from fault finding. l be-
lieve in this national campaign it
would have been much better if we
had not found so much fault. In

President Roosevelt, l did not
mention dead issue. | stood out
on the affirmative proposition of a
demand for reciprocity and the re-
mOval of protection from tru SITS,
and without attacking the other
side, continually pointed to this
issue as something that / stood for.
1t was the issue nearest the popu-
lar heart-whether the people are
to continue paying millions to the
trusts.
"The situation which brought
such surprising response in
Massachusetts was not local to
Massachusetts. The issue was
just as good in Connecticut, just
as good in New Jersey. Il was just
as good in farming as in a man
ufacturing state. 1t was an issue
upon which | believe the Ameri-
can people are better prepared to-
day than in any previous cam
paign to respond to- The demon
stratiOn Of a popular sentiment
here has been such that the Repub-
lican party has begun TO see that
it cannot ignore. Its leaders here,
some of them, are beginning to ad-
nit that stand pat will not al
ways do as a policy. Some Of
them have admitted that the tariff
must be revised.
"All that was needed was a man
in the nation to present the issue
to the American people sincerely,
earnestly, vigorously, in way
that would appeal to their heart
and conscience. We should have
made the campaign aggressively
upon that issue, apOlogiziug for
nothing, knowing that we were
right and daring to stand for the
right.
"The people in Massachusetts
are educated on the tariff, and
they are not to be fooled They
see for themselves the practical
workings Of this tariff which is so
highly lauded as the friend of the
workingman, aud they know that
even if wages have advanced, the
cost of living has advanced three
times as much, and in the end the
workingman is worse off in pocket,
In word, wages have increased

the cost Of living has increased 3G

A Voice From Manila.

Certainly the Manila Times is entitled to
a hearing In the United States on the sub
ject OF the conditions in the Philippine Is
lands and the needs of the people. Pub
Hshed on the scene. it should know the
situation. and have both pride and personal
interest in stating it correctly Replying
TO the observation made by a Filipino Wis
itor to this country. that what we''-the
Ffipinos-"are anxious for is the power TO
elect a general assembly to make general
laws for the Islands, the Times says:
There are not wanting evidences. how
ever. that some of the most substantial and
law-abiding natives in the islands would
consider ii a calamity to see the American
flag lowered in the archipelago. The gen.
eral assembly feature. however. is already
provided for by an act OF Congress and will
In time become actually. 1t is neces-
sary. however, that the franchise in strict
~ ideal matters be given a sufficient pro-
Dauonary term to make sure that the aver
age-not the best-native realizes the re-
sponsiblity attaching to the exercise of the
elective franchise. We may be assured
that the government does not intend to in
trust the selection of lawmakers to ire
sponsible people who do not appreciate the
solemnity of the trust reposed in them
There is plenty of self-government already
provided by legislation now upon the stat
ute books and all that the Filipinos have to
do is To reach out their hands and take
what is theirs as rapidly as they can make
use OF II. When they have, of their own
volition, awaited themselves of all the civil
liberties that have been provided for them
they may have occa SION to ask for more

Whisky Poisoning.

Since more than dozen men have dled IN
New York as a direct result. 1t Is strongly
believed of drinking a certain kind or So
called whisky which sells for five cents a
drink or one dollar gallon, there has been
a marked falling off in the consumption OF
Nouor In the cheap saloons which dot the
METROPOLITAN map. There have been to GATE
n, less than sixteen deaths which the
physicians believe may be traced directly
70 this cause. The owner of one saloon
where 1t is known number of these men
obtained their liquor and where the bar
tender himself died after partaking of the
stuff has been arrested and is now held Tor
trial on a charge of adulterating liquor.
Yesterday a mob nenaced the place with
destruction. but was dispersed.
1t Is a general suspicion that the vendors
of louor dilute 1t with various substances.
In this case 1t is believed that wood alcohol.
which is a dangerous poison. was used.
This alcohol made from the distllation IF
certain woods. Is related only remotely to
the alcohol which exists in potable liquors.
They are cousins in that they contain gen.
orally the same elements. but in such
different proportions and under such differ
ent conditions that they exert opposite
effects upon the human system. Chemists
record scores of alcohols the whole form

suffice to punish. If the vendor who thus
adulterates knows the character OF the
stuff he is no less than murderer. If he
does not know 1t he is nevertheless guilty
CT grave crime, for he is knowingly
tampering with the substance which has
passed tests and is rated by the federal
authorities as fit for consumption. He
should know the dangerous nature of wood
alcohol If he does not. His ignorance Is no

Gus kinds practiced in the dispensing OF
higher grades of whisky for which full
price is charged consumers. Prof Wiley
of the Department of Agriculture recently
stated that his Investigations indicated that
there was more adulterated liquor sold in
the United States than the pure stuff.
This New York case should have good
effect. 1t should teach that the safe rule
is to let the drink alone. It is not whole

Hill, the MARTYR.

Is there anything else that David B. Hill
can do for his party in this campaign short
of drawing sharp razor across his throat
and going to the bone-yard?
Item: Although of presidential size him
self and master of the democratic machine
at home Mr.. Hill, knowing his unpopularity
with Tammany, stood aside for his friend
Parker. He took himself out of the presi-
Dental equation for all time. and gave his
friend, in the party's behalf. the benefit Of
lis best organizing abilities. More than
any other one man. or any dozen men, he is
responsible for Judge Parker's nomination.
In many particulars Parker simply spells
Hill.
Item: Upon returning home from St.
Louis Mr.. Hill, finding the tide of his I'M
popularity still high. and anxious to pro-
mote the candidates fortunes in the state.
announced that he would retire from the
political field on the 1st of next January.
This was intended to silence the criticism
of those independents who feared that the
election of Judge Parker would mean Hill
administration.
Elect Parker. and you count me out. y
was what he said in effect to all such men.
Item: AT Saratoga he was told that If he
exercised his power to nominate Stanch-
field. his friend would be defeated at the
polls Again he yielded the point, and took
a man whom he most cordially disliked.
He and Judge Herrick, in a local way. had
been rival bosses for years. and at no time
had ever had less patience with each other
than on the day that convention met. But
Mr. Hill. with the nominating power In his
own hands, gave the prize to his rival for
harmony's sake.
Item: Mr.. Hill is now touring Maryland
and West Virginia with a party of which
Mr. German Is a member. He is about as
fond of Mr.. German as he is of Judge Her
rick. But again he has subordinated his
personal feelings to his party's welfare and
gone to Mr. Germans aid in the latter's
state.
This seems to be the limit, unless. as al
ready suggested. there are democrats who
would be glad to have Mr.. Hill quit the
world. But. if there are, he should not
yield to them. and is not likely to. He
ought to see eighty years, at reasonable
calculation and as he Is only about sixty
now there is long period ahead which he
may devote to playing for even.
