ROOSEVELT FOR PEACE

Charles Cheney Hyde, lecturer on in

are even now taking steps to secure arbi-
tration treaties with all other governments
which are willing to enter into them with

the President would not have spoken in this
way If he were not making the attempt
in good faith to conclude with friendly
nations treaties which provide for the set
Element by peaceful methods OF differences
of a serious character which diplomacy may

rejoiced to hear him express in no uncer-

States may be a panty.
Equally significant was the Presidents
promise to the observation-disclosures to
call another conference Of the powers at
The Hague. The whole world knows that
that promise will be kept and that repre-

hINOSIGHT.
One Of the Strong Pcculiarities OF the
Democratic Party.


The Democratic party has been aptly
compared to a man sitting III 'he '"e'
seat in the last car of II railway tra'n'
and riding backward. He never saw
anything until he had got By It. ms
striking REGULARITY of the party is as
conspicuous to-day as it was III the SIN
ties. seventies. eighties and ninetles.
The Democratic party lives to pro-
test to warn to oppose. lt never "p-
preciated what the war for the preservn-
zion Of the Union meant until it was all
over. Even now large section OF 1t
has not arrived Mt the civilized view oi
slavery. 1t takes about half century
to get any great event into correct FOCUS
for the Democratic eye. or late, some
of the Democrats have begun to reaiiZe
the greatness of Abraham Lincoln, out
these Democrats are men who have re-
ceived their education in Republican
communities. so obtaining the benefits or
up to date schools. colleges and churches.
The full significance of the American
occupation and control of the Philip
pines has not yet dawned upon what
takes the place, in the Democratic make
IN. of understanding. Neither has the
ODon door IN Snl0u uItCteu thS suh'S
set of nerve tissues and atoms, in the
least, beca use of some constitutional lack
of power in the combination to compre-
bend what is going on at the time when
the thing is happening.
For the same reason the immense I'M
portance and significance of the estab-
lishment of the new department of Com
merce and Labor with a Bureau of Cor
pora tons. has not dawned upon the DEM
ocratic mental machinery.
Well, never mind! When the living
thinking, working world has whirled by,
the Democratic brethren will see, in
hazy manner, from their perch at the
| end of the train. And they WILL as u.s.
ua. protest, warn, oppose and then
dream on.
The Democracy always wears long
] distance glasses and looks backward over
| the track. If by chance it takes off its
"far-aways' and looks ahead, it turns
into Republcanism. This happens, some
times. Witness the many recent CONVEX

PAY OF RAILROAD MEN.
Wage Farmers Have Profited Because
OF Republican Policy.

OF Inl1Cys
The last report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission shows that the total
compensation paid to railway employees
of al! classes in the United States in
creased from S37, S23,021 in 1896 to
$41. S2S, 555 in 1902. This in itself would
indicate general railroad prosperity dur
ing six years of Republican rule, but still
more significant is the fact that the
greatest increase was among the wage
carriers. In fact. there was a decrease in
the salaries paid general officers. The
decrease in this item was from SI03. 096,
in 1896 to $720,6SO in 1902-a decrease
of $42.416 in six years.
On the other hand, the total yearly
compensation of station agents increased
from 81 .366,9 25 in 1896 to 81 462 ,S74 in
1902; the yearly compensation of en-
gineers increased from $3,027 .5S4 in 1896
to S3,451 ,0SS in 1902; that of firemen
from 81. I33,057 in 1896 to 81 SAG. 246 in
1902: that of conductors from 81 ,97S, 165
to 81, $50. AGO. that of other trainmen
from $3,T0O,063 to $4,697,272: that of
machinists from 81 12S, 634 to 81 ,422. 500
that of section foremen from 81 26O, 634
to 81, 377, 1854; and so on through the
whole list The figures show that the
daily wage earners in the railroad bust.
ness profited largely by Republican pros
perity.

In 1850 when the Republican party
first came into power this was almost
exclusively an agricultural country and
the policy of the Democratic party was
to Keep it so. That party said the
United States is destined to be the gran
airy of the world, but n manufa curing
country. never The Republican policy
was to make it great manufacturing as
well as agricultural country, and It has
done So In the year 1900 the United
States produced one-third of all the man
ufactured products of the world and
shipped them broadcast to foreign mar
kets. This never could have been done
under the Democratic policy of free
trade.
