John +. Lacey has remarkable
record and an unusual one. The cleo
| ton is now over, and it is a significant
fact, that the arguments against him
have reduced themselves to the simple
one: "He has been there long enough;
give someone else chance" His
ability as a statesman; his scholarly
attainments; his prestige in the halls
of congress-; his untiring energy and
indefatigable work for his district, and
his democratic personality, all are ac-
knowledged by his most active oppo-
nents, who fall back on that most In
CONSTANT argument: He has been
there long enough"
When the artizen, thru years of toll
has attained the skill that makes his
product superior to others When the
credit man in the mercantile estab-
lisnent thru years of experience has
his firms customers and their finan-
ciial responsibility at his finger tips;
when the physician gains that knowl-
edge attained only by long experience,
are other and less experienced men
sought to fill their places?
John L. Lacey is in the pride of
vigorous manhood with an unim-
peachable record of fourteen years in
congress-; ripe with that experience
that makes him available, not only to

"A Defense of Women Workers."
Under this headline Marine F. Wash
burne in the North American Review
has a. most readable article. At the
outset we are told, or rather asked,
What is the appointed work for wo-
men? This is the question we are, all
OF us, trying to solve. We are doing
lot of pushing and hauling about it,
good deal of protesting, and it all
seems to be quite useless. There are
good arguments on both sides, and
things go right along regardless, any
how. We might sit here in the COR
ner and reflect W0lile, not at all ex-
pect to settle anything, but rather to
comfort our disquieted souls. Well,
then, have a guess to hazard: I guess
that all occupations have their mas
culine and feminine sides; that MOTH
ing whatever is exclusively masculine
or exclusively feminine, but that every
occupation, everp pleasure, every form
of human activity has that about it
which is specially fitted for mans ma
ture, and that which is specially fitted
for wioman's nature; and that In real
ity no activity can be at its very best
until it is carried on by both sexes"
The answer is in substance, that
times have changed. There Is diff
ferenlt environment. No one will dis
pute the assertion that Many of the
industries now claimed as masculine,
were originally feminine. Who was it
that originally did all the spinning and
weaving, which is now done by the big
factories? Who did all the dyeing,
enl1broidering, bleaching, sewing = all
the things, In short, that go to trans
form f1bers into wearing fabrics? Who
used to feed the traveller? Who pre-
pared all the food? Who even titled
the fields, and cared for the crops?
Conditions have changed-true: but
they have changed for the better. 1t
is easier to plough a field with mod
ern steam plough, or even horse

easier to run q steam loom than to

A DONATION TO THE SOCIALISTS.

While allowing much for the growth
of socialism among the worl1ingmen OF
the cities little analytical exa1nina-
ton into the causes for the eNtraord-
mary vote polled by the socialist party
in the recent election brings the con-
viction that much of this vote was in
the nature of donation.
Thousands of these socialist votes
were cast by disgruntled and disgusted
democrats who could not bring them
selves to vote for a republican and who
absolutely refused to cast their votes
for Parker. So far as socialist prin-
ciples We're concerned few of this class
knew much and cared less What they
were looking for was an outlet for
their desire to vote. How much of the
Debs vote came from democrats who
repudiated Parker is hard to estimate
accurately, but a very considerable
part of the socialist increase comes
from the nakeshift vote Of democrats.
1t is likely that the socialist vote OF
1904 will mark its high tide for many
years. The democrats will return to
their regular business of voting their
party ticket. The conditions that con-
duced to the APPARENT squirt of social
ism are not likely Ito come soon again
into conjunction. Next years socialist
vote will show a decrease, perhaps less
distinct than it's present gain, but not
the less confirnatory of the fact that
ballots of thousands of votes fell per-
functorily into the socialist column
because they followed the plane Of the
least resistance not thru any faith In
or allegiance to the principles of the
socialists. The big increase was dem
ocracy's donation to the socialists.

THE CANADIAN ELECTION.

Canada had her landslide on election
day more surprising and quite as sat
isfactory to the popular mind as that
Of the United States Tuesday. The
question of government ownership of
railways entered into the Canadian
contest and ante election predictions Of
the defeat of the Laurier adrninistra-
ton were numerous. Indeed, the very
day before election, in an interview
with the Ottawa Journal, Mr.. Belcourt,
speaker Of the house Of commons, and
the chief liberal candidate for Ottawa
city, claimed majority of only S5 for
the government. AS their majority
in the last parliament was 55, this
meant a loss of ten seats. Up to the
time of writing. the liberals have a
majority Of "a or IS. with several con-
stituenc1es still in doubt, and three or
four in which the election will not be
held for some time yet. Two of these
at least are certain to go liberal; and
in all probability the others will DO
likewise. In these circumstances it is
altogether probable that the govern
ment will have majority of 10. Even
the present majority is larger than has
been held by any previous Canadian
government.
There can be no doubt as to the
meaning Of this verdict. There was
only one important issue before the
people that of the transconttnental
railroad. The government asked pub
lie approval of the contract it had en-

tered into with the Grand Trunk Pact-
road from Moncton on the Atlantic to
Port Simpson on the Pacific. the first
half from Moncton to Winnipeg to be
built by the government and leased to
the Grand Trunk Pacific, and the lat
ter half to be built and operated by
the company, with the air of a govern
ment subsidy. The OPPOSITION, on the
other hand came out boldly, with a
policy of government ownership of the
entire road.
The issue was perfectly clear-and
the verdict equally is. The overwhelm-
ing majority of Canadians have placed
themselves on record as opposed to
government ownership Of the new
transcontinental railroad. The result
was peculiarly significant in Winnipeg.
The conservatives made particularly
strong effort to capture Winnipeg IN
the elections.
There were three candidates-liberal
conservative and labor. The latter,
Mr. Puttee, represented Winnipeg In
the last parliament and supported the
administration. A few days before the
election he announced himself as IN
favor of government ownership. His
personal popularity, and the fact that
his support was nominally liberal,
made it appear that he would cut
largely into the following Of the
straight government candidate, and
make the return Of Mr.. Sanford Ev-
ans, the conservative candidate, doub-
ly certain. The election, however, re-
suited in the return Of the government
candidate by a large majority over
both the conservative and the labor
man.
The result of the election clearly In
Dictates also that Canada Is content to
let we'll enough alone so far aus the tar
if is concerned. The existing revenue
policy of the government has resulted
in increased prosperity for the country.
Indirectly, too, it is a move toward
reciprocity with the United States. The
conservatives were known TO be unal-
terably opposed to such a policy, while
the liberals are still open to persua-
sion.
It is also strong Endorsement of the
broad immigration policy of the pres
ent Canadian government. On this
point western Canada has spoken with
no uncertain voice. The conservatives
had counted on an almost clean sweep
in the west, but the result shows a
substantial majority for the liberal
government.
1t is a noticeable that that liberal
governments are now in power in near
ly every case with large majorities,
practically throut all British North
America Unless all indications prove
false, the next British elections will
place Liberal government in power
there also.

BRyAN,s BuGLE NOTE,

Already in the cold gray dawn of the
morning after from the watch tower in
Lincoln, Mr.. Bryan sounds his rally
ing cry to a routed democracy utterly
unotficered and unled. The democracy
will hear it. It's necessity of leader
ship will turn it naturally and logi-
cally to Mr.. Bryan and he already
girded and bedight impatdently awaits
the issue of his clarion call. 1t is
Bryan's turn now.
Where else or SO we'll could the rem
nant of the democratic party seek lead
ership and counsel?. The st. Louis
platform with it's semi acknowledge
ment Of the protective policy, Parker
nomination and his famous telegram
instead of death blow to Mr. Bryans
political leadership was in reality a
TRANSMISSION of new strength. Bryan's
star was waning. He had twice led
the democracy to honorable defeat. He
stood before the convention as a sin
cere and devoted man, whom it would
be unlwise to follow farther as leader,
but in the platform and the telegram
Mr.. Bryan found opportunity forced
upon him. The exigencies of the cam
paign sent him afield for Parker and
permitted him to accept the gold STAN
dard without humiliation. The plat
form of ST. Louis, tho none of his maxi
ing built bridge where Bryan might
meet settled policies of finance half
way without too much loss of prestige
or absolute revocation of his own pet
theories. The recognized democracy
has resulted in reorgandzed Bryan.
The democracy locking for a Moses
will do well to take Mr.. Bryan. His
policy as outlined in his latest pro-
nouncement is NOT likely to elect a
Democratic administration, but it will
at least keep life in the organization.
Another campaign under the leaders of
the one just closed would result in It's
utter disintegrs ton. The democratic
party has always been dependent upon
personal leadership. 1t is probably
best for itself and as we'll for the coun-
try that it rally to another defeat I'M
