Inn pertaIis m Of Steel.

When the great iron and steel indus.
try of the United States thrives, other
American industries thrive. The Dem
ocratic party could not legislate to de-
stroy the protection to the iron and steel
industry without legislating to destroy
the prosperity of the United States.
The millions OF additional profit and
wages that have come to the iron and
steel industry under Republican rule
would have been earned, if at all, BY
foreign nations. had Democratic policies
prevailed during the last eight years.
The gigantic rise OF this industry dur.
Ing the last eight years added enormous
~ to the wealth of the United States.
and every branch Of American industry
and agriculture has been stimulated nv
it. Prosperity at home and prestige
abroad has indeed been intimately con-
nected with the increasing imperialism Of
steel, which once was Pauper but now
is King.

ROOSEVELT GOOD ENOUGH

ocratic Ways.

John s. Wise, of Virginia.]
The people have seen more of Roose-
velt-now as youth and cowboy and
sportsman and naval secretary and po-
lice commissioner and soldier and gov.
ernor and President to think themselves
fair judges Of his ingram democratic and
republican personality. They believe he
would spring at and grapple with a
usurper or a monarchist as fiercely as
he would lasso a wild broncho or fight
Spaniard. And they like his demo-
cratic ways, more democratic far in ac-
ton than the aristocratic and exclusive
ness Of Parker. with his colorless demo-
cratic pla titudes.
Talk does not settle popular estimates
of public men. Thousands-nay, hun
dreds Of thousands-of Democrats see
more real democracy in the vigorous, ag-
gressive, wideawake Theodore Roosevelt
than in the colorless, secretive Alton B.
Parker. The platforms are mighty near
together. The men are going to be a
more decisive feature Of this campaign
than usual. And with my knowledge
Of tho American people and the things
which please their taste and fancy and
fill their ideals Of what real American
manhood Is l would, if l were a betting
man, stake all l had that Roosevelt will
DO Al easy winner.

Marshall p. Wilder's most successful
joke of the season has a political tang
to 1t that is calculated to make even
a Democrat with any sense of its eternal
aptness laugh. He tells of a teacher who
asks class OF boys whether they would
Ike to be President of the United
States. Observing that amid the gen.
eral enthusiasm of assent one boy was
silent and disconsolate, she said:
Whats the matter, Willie? Don't
you wish to be President?"
"Yes'm, but l can't" replied the bow.
How do you know you cant?" she
asked.
Because I'm Democrat"

| ute to President Roosevelt
No President ever received a more
notable tribute from 4 labor organiza-
ton than Theodore Roosevelt did at the
convention Of the Brotherhood Of LOCO
motive Firemen held in Buffalo. A pub
| lie meeting was held on the night Of
Sept. 13. Fully 5000 persons were in
attendance.
Grand Master Hannahan, in conclud-
ing an address, called attention to the
fact that a New York newspaper had
| criticised the President because he had
| accepted an honorary membership in the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen
LET me say" said Mr.. Hannahan, that
II the President Of the United States or
any other Of its citizens does nothing
worse than accept membership in this
| organization he will neither merit the i'll
will nor deserve the censurs Of any Of
his fellow-men. (Cheers.)
IF the rest of the pu bic. and particu-
larry those who are intrusted with the
direction Of our government and the
management Of the nations greatest en-
terprises would do as the President and
meet US upon common level, there
and more Of peace and goodwill in the
industrial world"
What has the President done for
your shouted an intoxicated man, who
stood near the stage door on the right.
What has the President done?" re
peated Grand Master Hannahan. 1.-The
President has proven to the organized
workingmen of this country that he has
an interest in their welfare by accepting
an honorary membership in an organiza-
ton Of men whose faces are begrimed
by smoke and dust, and who daily and
hourly face the gravest dangers"
The monster audience burst into
deafening cheers. The tumult rolled
from wall to wall and back again. Men
stood up or the benches, wildly waving
their hats and cheering for the Presi-
dent. The demonstration was spon-
taneous and was general all over the hall.
Finally it died down and some one in
the audience shouted:
"Hurrah for Theodore Roosevelt"
And again the crowds burst into
cheers and when the second demonstra-
ton died out the intoxicated man was
nowhere to be seen.
During the demonstration the men on
the stage sat silent and made no effort
either to check or urge on the remark
able ovation which the President had re-
ceived. The Brotherhood does not per
init politics to influence its action. but
its members, regardless of party, enter
tain a high opinion of President Roose-
welt and will stand by him as firmly as
he stands by them.

The truth Is, there is now more dis
affection in the Democratic party than
there was when Bryan was nominated
the first time. Neither Bryan Demo
Gratis nor friends of w. r. Hearst will
support Parker. In New York State the
Bryanites have put 4 State Pvpulst
