wATsoN's VIEWS
The Georgian's Opinion of Roosevelt
and Parker.

The Georgian's Opinion of Roosevelt
and Parker.
Thomas p. Watson, the candidate of
the Peoples party, is getting a great
deal of amusement out of what he
calls the Independent side-show Of his
own, of which he is sin full militant
aggressive control He says he re-
spects Roosevelt and the Republicans
because they know what they want.
are candid in stating their position and
fearless in fighting for their principles.
He prefers Roosevelt to Parker be-
cause the former lis not seeking the
support of Bryan Democrats upon
false pretensions. He is not playing
a confidence game on the negro ques-
tion. He is not attempting to win
Jeffersonians by sham adherence to
Jeffersonian principles. He is not in
ambush: he is behind no blind he
stands out in the open and says to
his, enemies: Here j am, Repub-
lican who stands pat on all existing
conditions; if you want to fight come
on"
| Mr.. Watson's letter is full Of vitriolic
contempt for Judge Parker as weak
| ling and artful dodger. 1t ridicules his
position ON the pension question and
says his pledge to revoke Order No
IS amounts to saying, Roosevelt did
! the right thing but not in the right
way and if you will elect me presi-
dent I will do the same thing in the
proper way
| AS to the Democracy itself Mr.
Watson asks:
/ ''Who could put faith in the pledges
of the party which has so little unity
of conviction as the National Demo
! cracy?"
What party ever made and broke
SO many pledges?"
What party ever changed its
ground SO often?"
.What other party ever unloaded all
of its principles at one quick throw
down as they did at st. Louis"
Candor compels the answer None"
| 1t remains the party of nothing but
big professions, unfulfilled promises
| and pledges.

THEY ARE FOR ROOSEVELT

His Magnetism Proves Attractive to Men
of All Conditions.
There is magnetism in open, fear.
less manhood which attracts the souls
of men. The workingmen of the coun-
try recognize in President Roosevelt an
active worker, a sincere, democratic,
straightout brother man. There is no
dlscounting the unerring instinct by
which one sturdy man or class of men
reaches swift decision as to character.
Perhaps the rank and file of the work
ers Of the United States cannot give
out long speeches as to why they be-
lieve in Roosevelt, but the fact is they
know him. That is enough.
Put Theodore Roosevelt in group
of railway engineers and firemen, or
on a ranch in Idaho; let him sit down
to dinner with dozen farmers at
country tavern or ride in a car with
mining outfit, or college football
team, or a delegation Of stonemasons.
and instantly he would be sized up,
estimated and acknowledged by any
and all of these representatives of
American life as hearty, genial com
panlon, and as strong man and as
strong leader of men,
Evidences multiply, day by day.
showing in what high esteem Presi-
dent Roosevelt is held by the men who
are doing the work of the country; the
work which keeps life going, and
makes 'the wheels go round" And
these intelligent, keen workers. look
ing with clear eyes upon the great
fabric of society that they are daily
building, know how to pick a leader
for themselves and their country.
Nothing can make the virile young
manhood of America turn it's eyes
away from Theodore Roosevelt Moth
ing car destroy the confidence in him
of the steady, hopeful toilers If mid
die age. And to the old and ex-
perienced the vain appeals of ancient
party prejudices are but as ratings to
the deaf. Young, middle-aged and old
alike in the great world of industry
and traffic, have made up their minds
about the coming election; and when
it comes. they are going to show the
faith that is in them.
The American workingmen have no
doubts about Theodore Roosevelt.
They know just what to expect of him
when he is president, and they mean
to have it by electing him.

FIXING THE FURNACE.

Just as quiet as If mother had a
headache or a tea.
First pa takes his coat and vest on; then
you hear him cough and say:
PAY to have it fixed? I guess not! Now
you children, run away.
Jobs like this l. nayer shirk!"
That's the way he starts to work
Mother smiles sort of worried smile and
shakes her head and sighs;
Then she takes US In the parlor, where to
read aloud she tries
But the racket pa is making browns her
voice, and so she goes
On upstairs to make the beds or mend
some Of our winter clothes.
From the cellar comes noise
Like dozen real bad boys!
After while his work is finished, and pa
comes upstairs again,
Cut and bruised and black as any of those
funny minstrel men;
Great big lump upon his forehead, thumbs
all mashed, both eyes black,
Breathing like ned run foot race, hair
filled full of dust and slack;
Ltmps and holds his sides and groans
Like he'd broken all his bones.
Mother meets him with witch hazel, band
ages and salves and soap;
Says I'm awful sorry, Frederick. Moth
ing's very bad, hope?"
Pa Just sits and chews his mustache; then
he drags himself to bed;
Has to have the doctor come and patch
his hands and back and had;
Has to pay for that; but sE1fl

DON'T FORGET CONGRESS
It Is Worry Important that It sho uid b

It IL Very Important that 1t Sho uld Be
Republican.
In the great political contest which
occurs in this country every four
years, and which is now OH, the cleo
ton of President is apt to oyefshadow
all other interests. This ought not to
be SO. The President is the head Of
the executive branch Of the govern
ment, but the legislative branch is
equally as important. Republicans
should remember that it is as import
ant to hold Congress as it is to elect
the President. The election of Judge
Parker would mean much more than
the induction of his personality into
that high office. His election would
mean the election of Democratic
House Of Representatives, and this
would be most unfortunate, because:
First, the Democratic party, com
posed as it is OF all the distracted ele.
ments of the country, is not capable
of successfully administering the af-
!: fairs Of this government. 1t has not:
b the capacity to deal with the great
problems that now confront u.s. Sec
ond, Democratic House of Rspresen-
tatives would mean that the entire
legislative ma achinery of that body
would be placed in the control OF the
South; the speaker, the committee on.
rules, and all the important commit
tees, as well as the chairmanships of
the same, would be suboTdinated to
southern policies. In answer to this 1t
may be said that Democrat House
could do no harm, as the Senate would
still be Republican and could prevent
any nnwise or radical Legislation. A,ut
Democratic House could prevent Re
publican legislation and great harm
might result from that. The election Of
a Republican Congress is scarcely sec
ond in Importance to the election Of d
Republican President.

UNDULY PUFFED UP
The Get Rich-Quick Democratic Bosses
Are Dragging Too Soon.

Are Dragging Too Soon.
Certain Democrats with the exuber-
ance of the newly rich, are boasting of
the states they are going to carry by
means of their big campaign fund.
There is no telling what may happen,
even with money in the treasury. Only
day or two ago, one politician from
sWest Virginia was bewailing certain
well-proved facts in connection with
campaign money. They are thinking
g good deal of campaign money in
West Virginia just now. This particu-
lar individual of the Democratic camp
said in effect, that West Virginia is
likely to go Republican this fall. "The
niggers will all vote the Republican
ticket" he declared, "those who are
allowed to vote. They'll take our
money and then go and vote the Re
publican ticket straight"
This is complication of great i'm
port to our erring brethren of the OPP
posing camp. 1t was not always thus,
but now, with the Australian ballot,
in some forll, in use in many states it
is sad fact that the riff-raff who
sell their votes take the money and
then vote as they please
The oil trust can put its money into
the Parker campaign fund, but it cam
not buy even one of its own vast army
Of employees, nor any of It's victims in
the world of business.
The Democrats are puffed up over
their fat pocketbooks, but it won't hefp
them in the coming election. The peo-
pie prefer to have money in their own
pockets, honest money which they
have been able to earn themselves, in
time Of prosperity and Industrial ac-
tivity such as a Republican administra-
ton gives them.

The River.

The past forty-eight hours have in a
measure raised the ice embargo, and this
morning witnessed materially changed
conditions. The surface of the river was
again on the move, the bosom of the
stream carrying myriads of pieces OF brok,
en- ice of all sizes and shapes up and
down with the tide. There was life also
in the skies. The heavens were alive
with iragmentary clouds which were fly
ing toward the north, being driven in
that direction by a stiff sOutherly wind,
while a fog which extended over the
river was also being waited by the breeze
making a picture suggestive of fumes
from shaking line. Apart from foes OF
ice in the bends of the river, there is no
material obstruction to navigation by
screw steamer, and this class of boats
and tugboats experience no difficulty IN
going up or down the river. The steam
er Norfolk arrived up this morning about
an hour late, causedb by the fog. She re-
ports the channel of the river clear as
far up as Indian Head. The steamer
Estelle Randall, which has recently been
laid up by the freeze, made a trip down
the river today. A number of oyster
boats are frozen up in the saltwater rivers
and creeks, and tugboats are be dispatch
ed to tow them to this city and Wash
inQtOn.

Union Street.

Union street was ina ~bedragged con-
dition today, as is always the case OF late
during inclement weather. On certain
portions there are practically no side
walks, and mud in places is over the
shoe tops. 1t has been suggested that
board walks or something approaching a
sidewalk should be constructed from
Princess street to Fishtown before the
wharf is rented by the city this year.
There are other places also north OF
King street in the shape of neglected
sidewalks which have long needed at
tention. On the west side of Union
street, between Duke and Wolfe, there
is virtually no sidewalk, nor has there
been for many years.
