On the occasion of the opening of

New York Mr.. Warley Platzek said,
among other things:
General jackson propounded the
question, Shall the people rule p
But the new doctrine seems to be,
Shall the Governments be admin

Theodore Roosevelt?' Gladstone
said that the American Constitu-
tion is the greatest document ever
written, but Mr.. Roosevelt is of the
opinion that il is q worthless docu-
ment to be used or abused by him
as he chooses.
mo one can deny that the Presi-
dent is Intellectually well equipped,
honest and brave, but there is NOR
al courage and physical courage,
and in moral courage he is lacking.
Lincoln would never agree with the
Presidents policy to speak softly

The tariff question is . business.

the average home s110 q year, or
more than one-tenth of the average
family s total income. There Is an
average OF one and one-eighth-te
earners in the average home. These
contribute thirty days labor each,
or fifty four days labor q year 70 the
tarif-tax collectors. II this $11O
went as honest taxes 10 our govern
menttomeet necessaryexpenditures,
no fault would be found. though the
tax would be considered extremely
high. But only q very small part
OF this $llO can be classed rs legiti-
mate taxes By far the greater
part goes to million and billion dol
lar tariff trusts and monopolies,
which thrive now as never before In
this country. These greedy trusts
levy tribute Of $94 a year upon the
average home, while the government
collects an average OF about SIS a
year in tariff taxes; the collection
last year amounted to $349 per capita,
or sl6.52 per family OF Al persons.
Do the heads Of theses 1900, 900
families, the voters, knowingly and
willingly donate s94 year to the
hundreds of trusts? Do they love
these trusts more than they love
their wives and children If not,
why should they vote to give this
$94 to trusts that do not need IL,
rather than TO keep the s94 for their
own families who do need il? An
extra $94 year would mean much
to the average family in the way of
better food. clothing and education.
A vote for the Democratic part
means a vote to dispense with this
additional tax.

why Donkeys Don't Shy.

Horses shy because they are des-
cended from ancestors accustomed
to roam over plains. where any tuft
of grass or bush might conceal an
enemy waiting to spring on them.
The donkey, on the other hand, is
descended from animals which d welt
in the hills, among which there were
precipices and dangerous paths /;
hence the surefootedness and CON-
paratiye slowness Of the donkey.
His ancestors were not SO liable TO
sudden attacks of wild beasts and of
snakes. Moreover, sudden and wild
starts on alarm would have been
positively dangerous to them hence.
they learned to avoid the very habit
which proved so useful 10 the horse
