These men are tired Of the ceaseless
<adulation given to the fortunate few;
tired OF the neglect In which the for
atunate many are left. The fortunate
few are the accumulators Of vast
wealth and corresponding houses,
lands. and the appearance of ease. The
fortunate many are the workers who
live In comfort, but do not have race
horses, yachts or automobiles to kill
time, vet these last named fortunate
men want to be heard in the councils
OF the nation. They are determined to
have president who respects and
cares for the plain people, one who has
declared and who has lived up to the
declaration that EACH MAN NO
NATTER WHAT HIS OCCUPATION,
HIS RACE. OR HIS RELIGIOUS
BELIEF. Is ENTITLED TO BE
TREATED ON HIS WORTH AS A

That is the kind of democracy which
IL real-not name merely. 1t Is the
democracy Of the first citizen OF the
United States, q man born into the Re
publican party, consistent Republic
an all his life and one who puts to
shame the injustice and inhumanity of

The Reauwd of Truth.

They arrived at the Palace Hotel
on the late train from the south
father, mother and two youngsters. the
smaller of the two being about years
of age. The little fellows dropping
eyelids told plainly of his tired feel
ing after a sultry and monotonous trip
up through the valley. While the
father hurried to the register to IN
scribe his name and secure his apart
ments, the mother, her face bearing
a serious expression that might have
been attributed to fatigue, threw her
self into a big chair and stared SOL
emnly at the hotel clock, which point
ed the hour of midnight. The little
fellow, somewhat awed by his magnifi-
cent surroundings, quietly wandered
into the crowd of travellers who were
waiting tn -ir turn at the desk, ana
was soon engaged in conversation with
one of the hotels prospective guests.
You're pretty tired, amt your re-
marked the gentleman, as he noticed
the boys wearied expression
Yes SIR" replied the boy, with
a yawn.
well, never mind" suggested the
man, patting the youngster assurlngiy
on the head. you'll soon be in bed
and fast asleep"
mo, won't" replied the boy, at the
same time shooting an inquisitive
glance in the direction of his mother
You won't2" queried the man, land
why not?"
We'll, papa and mamma had row
coming to the city. and when they get
upstairs they will have a big jaw and
brother and me won't get a chance to
sleep"
The startling explanation of thel
youngster was distinctly heard by the
entire assembly, and both father and
mother showed signs of embarrass-
ment that did not escape the crowd,
which had suddenly become interested
in the parents of the little fellow.
Ten minutes later bellboy, passing
along the corridor on the fourth floor,
was attracted by a strange SOUND
that resembled that attending the
beating of a carpet, and accompanying
it was the childish cry of "Oh, papa,
/ won't do it again-sure, papa, III be
a good boy" and then a sterner voice
said: Now, you brat, get into that
bed as fast as you can" And silence
ensued.
