YOUNG DEMOCRATS
Those Who Voted for Mckinley Prob
ably Will Support Roosevelt.

(NanSas City Star, independently
Some allowances must be made of
course, for the optimistic representations
of politicians at the approach of every
great election. 1t is a part of the game
to manifest confidence, even if the policy
OF claiming everything" has been dis
credited by the best political managers
But the declaration that, according to
more or less careful canvasses, those
young Democrats who bolted Bryan and
voted for Mckinley will remain in the
Republican party, is quite plausible.
Those OLD Democrats in whom the party
spirit is still strong in spite of the trying
alignment Of the Democracy four and
eight years ago, may be expected to re-
turn to the fold pretty generally this
year; but there is nothing except parti-
san feeling to draw them, and this does
not exist to any great extent among the
younger generation, especially among
those who have already broken over the
lines to. vote for Republican Presi-
dent.
Indeed President Roosevelt appeals
with especial force to the young men Of
the nation. Considering. his achieve
ments, he is still young man himself
He is in intimate sympathy with the
spirit of early manhood. He is vigorous
in mind and body, and is active in both.
He is strongly progressive. His leader
ship has been inspiring to all classes,
but more especially to those in whom
ambition is assertive His policies ap-
peal forcefully to those who would make
a stronger and better nation. He stands
for those reforms that are regarded as
essential to the perpetuity of personal
liberty and civic righteousness.
The belief that President Roosevelt, in
his splendid fulfllment of ali obligation
assumed as result of accident, has earn
ed an election at the hands of the people
he has served, is especially strong in the
hearts of the younger generation of vot-
erS.

Mr.. HILLS RETIREMENT.
1t Is Fortunate for Him, but Its Man
ner Il Not the Best.


David Bennett Hill announces that he
will at the end of his sixty-frst year re-
tire from politics, but that he will take
part in the present campaign The mis-
take that Mr.. Hill makes is that he does
not retire now. This is one of the things
he said in his recent opening campaign
speech at Binghamton, New York:
That vast corruption exists in MANY de-
partments Of the Federal Government is
virtually conceded. 1t has been declared
OFTEN that more corruption has been dis
closed during the last four years than dur
ing the whole previous period of our his
tory Therefore it must exist, or it could
not be disclosed. Convictions for frauds,
however, can be counted on ones fingers
The Republican party tends toward social
ism when it advocates the right to build
up one mans business at the expense of
the community. What the American people
demand is a free field and a fair contest in
the race of life.
1t is perhaps fortunate for Mr.. Hill
that he has decided to disappear from
politics. 1t is most unfortunate, for his
sake, that in his speech, practically open
ing the campaign on the Democratic
side, he should have been guilty of polit-
ical falsehood That is not the manner
in which good American should sing
his swan song.
AL U1eu SllOulu Ue LII. MI. I11Il uc-
clares that enormous corruption exists
under the present Republican administra-
ton, and intimates vaguely that the Re
publican party is responsible for any evil
which may have occurred. He refers
especially to frauds Of the Postoffice De-
partment, and there were some frauds.
We at least admit this Into every
great party will necessarily be ingrafted
some thieves. What has happened in
the United States following the discov-
cry that some officials of the Postoffice
Department were indirectly stealing?
What has happened is this:
The Republican party Furnishes its
own thieves and throws them out OF it's
ranks. What happened to the men who
stole under the present administration?
They are already wearing striped clothes
and doing the lockstep in various locai-
ties. Could there be a better proof Of
the soundness and honesty of the present
administration in that it Furnishes its own
sinners, and, very properly, Furnishes
them to the utmost.
David Bennett HILL in intimating that
there has been UNPUBLISHED crime among
the vassals of the party which is conduct
ing the affairs of this government just
now. is guilty of political trickery and
political falsehood OF the baldest kind.
1t is very earnestly to be regretted
that an exceedingly clever American
should mar the circumstances of his exit
from political life by expressions of what
are not facts, and of sort never coun-
tenanced by the greatest leaders of great
parties. What Mr.. Hill said at Bing-
hamton cannot mar the outlook of the
Republican party one jot or title, but it
can mar the respect which the American
people held, aside from all party lines,
for one of the shrewdest of politicians.

ROOSEVELT AS PRESIDENT.
Some of the Prominent Achievements
of the Administration.
Chicago Tribune.)

(CnlcdgO lf1Dune.)
What, positively, has he Roosevelt(
accomplished?
He has handed over to Cuba the gov
eminent of the Cuban republic.
He settled the anthracite coal strike
which for half year had demoralzed,
the industries of the country.
When Great Britain, Germany and
Italy were attacking Venezuela he in
duced them to desist, thus preserving the
inviolability of the Monroe doctrine
The three commissioners appointed by
him to discuss the Alaskan boundary
question gained a complete victory for
the American contention.
The Cuban reciprocity treaty, which
had been defeated by one Congress, was.
passed in a subsequent special session,
because Roosevelt insisted.
By the creation of bureau of COM
merce and labor, for which his inf1u-.
ence is solely responsible, the President
has taken the first definite steps toward
the solution of the trust problem Light
will be let in on the management of the
trusts. Then, when their evils are defin-
itely, not vaguely, ascertained a proper
corrective can be applied.
The door to China's trade has been.
kept wide open to our trade.
But the most enduring benefit the.
President has brought to the country has
been the assurance that the Panama
canal would be finished. In the isthmian
imbroglio the President acted always.
within the treaty rights Of this nation ;;
his official conduct was eminently cor
rect. But were it not for his exceptional
adroitness and vigor during the crisis the
prospect of the interoceanic canal would
still be years in the future. For nearly
400 years man has dreamed of piercing
the American isthmus But it remained
for President Roosevelt to bring these
dreams within sight Of realization. His
tory will record his connection with the.
Panama canal as the most momentous-
feature of his first term.
Thus Theodore Roosevelt has been. anx
upright and painstaking, vigorous and
useful, honest ard patriotic President.
1t seems both wiser and fairer for the
American people to re-elect him rather
than to elevate in his place an untriea
jurist, who, however exemplary his per-
sonal character, has had practically no.
experience whatsoever to fit him for the
most difficult position in the world. : 3.

WHEN HILL WILL QUIT.

David Bennett Hill says he will aban-
don politics when Parker is elected
when Parker is elected" Mr.. David
Bennett Hill
Announces that his speaking voice villa
suddenly grow still;
He says that for rude politics he really
shall not care,
When Parker has been planted in the
Presidential chair
O, gentle reader, with alarm do not
grow cold and stiff;
There's much of virtue in that "When,''
as Shakespeare said of eff"
when Parker is elected"-it's a strik-
ing trait of Dawes
That always in his statements there's
a little phrase that saves
You see, it would have sounded like an
unexpected joke
Had he said he'd retire the day thai
Davis said: I'm broke"
WHEN Parker is elected, l shall put
campaigning by"
Was how he emphasized it, and he wink
ed the other eye.
When Parker is elected, then the stars
will shine at noon,
And we will shovel snow along about
the month of June,
The birds will put on trousers and the
crocodiles will sing,
The frogs will be electing Mr.. Stork to-
be their king,
And when these things have happened,
if you think to notice it
WHEN Parker is elected David
Bennett Hill will quit.
when Parker is elected''-why, he
might as we'll have said
That he'd be chasing ballots when the
rest of us are dead,
And that we'd hear him talking when,
the Last Days trumpet called,
Or that he'd drop his scheming when he
ceased from being balled
When Parker is elected-he will quit.
and also then
Wen learn that David Bennett HilE
is growing hair again.

SLY OLD DAVID.
Unique Position Now Occupied by
Judge Parker's Manager.

Judge Parker's Manager.
1t is not often that a political leader
finds it necessary to promise his party
associates that he will keep out Of office
and be unrepresented in the councils of
his friends in case of the success of his
own nominee. This unique performance
has been exempli6ed by the Mephisto-
pheles of the Democratic party, David
Bennett Hill
The effect is rather grotesque. 1t is
much as if the king of the nursery rhyme
were to declare that he would not in
any case, taste of the pie, after the four
and twenty blackbirds had been caught,
plucked and baked in big dish of pastry.
The reception given to the promise
of Mephistopheles to 'be good after
the LIST of next January" is rather COM
ical. The more outspoken Of the Demo
Gratis say plainly, "Pshaw! 1 don't be-
lieve itn' while the more secretive ones
simply wink the other eye'' with a
grmace that would make the fortune of
the man that broke the bank at Monte
Carlo"
1t is sly old David, so it is! Well he
knows how to draw the ASS skin over
his own; confident is he that no braying
will hide from the faithful few his real

Farmer. Ignored by Democrats.

The Democrats of Kansas, IN making
up their State ticket, have entirely ig
nored the farmer. The. Republicans
nominated two of the leading farmers of
the State as Railroad Commissioners.
Seven out of thirteen nominations, in
Guiding Governor, on the Democratic
ticket are lawyers, while the Republicans
only recognized the lawyers in the noEl-
ination of Attorney General, judges Of
Supreme Court, and one member Of the
Railroad Commission. The policy OF ig-
noring the farmer, which the Democratic
National Committee is reported to have
announced, is carried out with VEN
geance by the Democrats Of Kansas.

The Lone Fisherm an.

It is only one of the curiosities of an
American national campaign the result
Of which is foreordained, but it arouses
more than slight degree of interest.
Where is the Lone Fisherman, the man
who has been twice President of the
United States? Where is he, and what
is he going to do between the present
time and the 9Th of November?
What is he thinking about-this Lone
Fisherman, and what are his -inclina-
tons? We are all interested in him as
we should be interested in any ex-Presi-
dent Of the United States, and, being
interested, we have also curiosity.
What about Cleveland? Is that portly
and forceful old gentleman going to have
anything to do with politics this year, or
is he simply intent upon the considera-
ton Of the subject of lines, bait, and all
that sort of thing?
The impression seems to prevail, and
one apparently justified, that the Sage
of Princeton is not much interested in
the Sage of Esopus The Sage of
Princeton has at least certain caliber,
and the two men do not fit.
Still, we all want to know what the
Lone Fisherman is going to do.

The element which leads and domi-

not for tariff for revenue, but for ulti-

they saw some smoke Issuing from the

When the party came opposite the

investigation the following was found.
There had been a landslide from the

cliff was composed of shaIe rock. dark
churt-like substance. In falling this had
lodged below and piled against the side
of the cliff while the outer edge ran
out TO the edge Of the creek The dis
lance from the cliff side to the creek
bed was nearly 100 yards. An enormous
quantity of this shaIe had by a slide

From the foot of the tree smoke issued
from a crevfcc about two feet wide and
running about 100 yards up the slope to
the side of the cliff. Another small fork

Signor Creatore gave Washington its
first taste of .'Parsifal" last night at
the Columbia Theater. For fortv-five
minutes an audience Of considerable size
sat listening intently. and at the con-
clusion OF the composition gave the di-
rector and his band a pronounced ova-

This director has steadily gained in
local favor. His gyrations and genu-
hectiOns continue 10 arouse Z. nay and
force his hearers 10 listen with their
eyes closed, but the Interpretations
given nOtahle compositions by his band
have now definitely stamped him as

Each of these numbers aroused mark

audience refused TO leave the build

took his station for still another encore
When the first strains revealed that the
Banner for his farewell q general
shout sounded through the theater, and
