subject of Ducks, and this is what
be wrote: @The duck is a low, heavy
set bird, composed mostly. OF meat and
feathers He is a mighty poor singer,
having hoarse voice caused by get
ting SO many frogs in his neck. He
Hikes the water and carries a toy bal
loon in his stomach to keep him from
sinking. The duck has only two legs,
and they are set so far back on his

near missing his body. Some

IN their might and as a reasonable ard
richly merited punishment for your many
sins and traiiSgresSions, Will Danish you
from political place and power forever.
He closed his speech with these Wig
oroas paragraphs:
A few days ago we were derisively ask
ed, What does the Democratic party
stand for?'
The old party stands. as it has always
done, for equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. 1t stands for that
great, true principle, once Of universal acs
ceptation, that governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned. 1t stands as the proud champion
of the oppressed wage Garner and pro-
ducer, resisting further encroachment of
organized wealth, the tariff worshipers,
the trusts, the devil and the Republican
party. 1t stands for revision OF the tariff
without hostile intent to any legitimate
business, but with an unalterable purpose
ii Entrusted with power to perform its
duty though the combined trusts in the
Omitted States should perish in less time
than 1t took the president to produce
abortion in Colombia and deliver the in
FAINT republic of Panama
The Democratic party stands on tiptoe
of expectancy, looking with hopeful eye
into the near future confidently believing
the intelligent farmers and wage earn
ers OF the United States have discovered
the emptiness and barrenness of Repub-
lican promises and the utter insincerlty
of the party and that they will in next
November tear from you the robes of
hypocrisy and put in every honest hand
a whip to lash the G. o. P. naked through
the world, even from the east to the
west
Judge Rutker's speech would make a
very fine campaign document. Those
who want it in full can secure it by
addressing him care of the house Of
representatives, Washington, Every
editor and stump speaker should have
it.

GROSEENOR OF Ohio is a Re-
n publican aud Il redhot one at
that. but nevertheless when he
is not talking partisan politics he very
frequently says a wise thing. He gave
voice to an idea recently that Demo
Gratis would do well to ponder in their
hearts. He was one of the congress
sional party that went ON an excur-
sion not long ago to jamestown, Va,
or to what little is left of jamestown.
AS is well known. the Yirginians are
trying to get congress to help them hold
an exposition at jamestown to cele-
brate the three hundredth anniversary
of the locating of the first white col
ony in America, one of the greatest
events in all history. The visiting
statesmen were banqueted on the trip
somewhere down i'll the Old Dominion,
and of course the speechmaking was a
feature of the occasion. Inter ALA
General Grosvenor made u few peril
nent and philosophical remarks. He
gave it as his opinion that the south
ern Democrats have effaced them
selves too long and that it is high time
they are waking up He suggested
that they ought to nominate a south
ern Democrat for president, and he is
right Ever since 1860 no man living
in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor
gia, Florida. Alabama, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Tex
as, Arkansas or Missouri has had any
more show for a presidential nominal
ton at the hands of either of the two
great parties than if he lived in the
cannibaI islands. Missouri is grow
ing weary of such a condition of af-
fairs, and she intends to present the
name of General Francis Marion Cock
rell to the Democrats of the land in
national convention assembled at St
Louis in July and use her utmost en-
deavor to nominate him. Why shouldn't
he be nominated? What is there that
can be reasonably urged against him2
He is capable, he is honest, he is faith
full to the constitution. These are the
Jeffersonian tests of fitness, and who
of this generation is wiser than the
father of Democracy?
There is no sense in being bashful or
mealy mouthed about it, We have been
compelled 10 suck the hind tit long
enough, and we are tired of it Nobody
ever questioned the Democracy Of Gen
sFsl CossFssii. He IS nov Is bis thifiis
eth year in the senate, and he has rem
dered his country and his party yeoman
service. Nobody viii have to explain
anything in his life or defend anything
in his record if he is nominated, and
with him as our standard bearer we
will be in position to make an ag-
gressive fight from start to finish. Yes,
General Grosvenor was correct in his
remarks. / have been making the
same sort for, 10, these many years,
but as | am a Missouri Democrat
many persons perhaps most persons
have thought it was state or sectional
pride ani1nating me. am glad to be
REINFORCED by the able gentleman from
Ohio in his friendly suggestion. Brains

whether the possessor thereof lives
south, north, east or west. Pull down
the bars, remove the ban and let all
Democrats of presidential stature have
a fair show for the highest honor of
the republic.

the bad The trouble has been, and is.
to construct law by which this dis
elimination or differentiation can be
accomplished. Most people were in the
depths OF despair on the subject, but
Mr.. Adams Of Pennsylvania has come
to the rescue with a proposition which,
with all due Difference to King Solo
mon, seems to be brand new. The Adj
ans panacea for the immigration evil
is to pass a law to the effect that not
more than $4,000 emigrants from any
one country shall be admitted in any
one year. Why $4,000 rather than 100,-
900 or 10000 or 10000 or 10000 or TO-
600? How are the $4,000 to be select
ed? BY civil service examination, by
lot or by sex? Leave it to the Nor
mons and they would desire them all
to be females Leave it to the eastern
states, where the females are largely in
the majority, and the desire would be-
for males. Shall the iirst SC. 600 who
knock at our doors be welcomed or
shall We pick and choose2 Is we are
to pick and choose, on what basis shall
our picking and choosing be done?

ical. moral or Intellectual? Some of
the most dangerous and undesirable
men in Europe are well educated. We.
bar Chinese Why not the laps also!
They are as much alike as peas N

we insist on six footers and bar the
midgets? Shall nationality have any
thing to do with it? The truth is that
while everybody that thinks on the
subject would like to see a reform in
our immigration law the how puzzles
the wisest. 1t would be easy to shut
them all out 1t is easy to let them
all in. To draw the line is the trouble,

sion worse COMPOUNDED.

Senator Charles w. Fairbanks of Indi-

Roosevelt's running mate. Everybody
knows that Fairbanks wants to be
president. and many of his Hoosier
friends are advising him to let the vice
presidency severely alone, and to save
himself for the head Of the ticket in;
1908 instead of playing tail to 1t this
year. Some very good men have been
elected to the presidency after serving
