IT is droll. the attitude of the Dem
ocratic party in the present campaign.
1t has nominated candidates of mod
crate talents as hgureheads for the
ventures of the discredited party, and
expects the people to support them.
while the Democratic national commit
tee and Tammany are expected to buy
or steal success.
The Democratic party, with its I'M
sound views, financial and economic.
lies hopefully behind Parker and those
unnamed eXpectancies voiced by Will
Jams, Bryan and other Democrats.
And Bryan promises to reorganize
the party after the election! How?
Evidently on lines of socialism, gov
eminent and municipal ownership Of
telegraph and railroad lines, with all
the sequence. What a vagueness Of
thought and promise! How may SO

get the votes of sensible men upon a

SHOW rHE TRUTH

Republicans, forecasting events
from the September elections in Yer
mont and Maine, should not allow
themselves to be overconfident of re-
suits of the presidential election in
November.
There is NJ doubt as 10 the fact that
Roosevelt will win, but he ought to
be given a great vote of confidence, an
outpouring OF national affection and
trust, aside from a mere majority of
electoral votes.
A rebuke is deserved for the men
who so falsify facts and sentiments,
so distort, prevaricate and invent, AS
to make it appear that Theodore
Roosevelt is anything but the strong,
thoughtful, loyal American citizen
that he is.
The silly bosh about imperialism
and "militarism,' the groundless fub-
duh as TO fancied personal dictation
by their executive to the American
people should be rebuked by the peo-
pie in such manner as can never be
forgotten.
Let Republicans appear en- masse at
the polls in November, to show what
they think Of Theodore Roosevelt.

AWKWARD QUESTIONS
Democrats Object to Answering Financial
Interrogatories.

When the gold" message of Alton
b. Parker reached the o tic
convention at st. Louis William J.
Bryan suggested that the currency
views of MIR. Parker ought to be more
explicitly defined in some detail, and
that the convention therefore should
prepare d list of questions connected
with the various phrases of the eur.
rency issue for the candidate to an
swer, but Master of Ceremonies Viii
liams rushed to Parker's defense with
b statement thatthe candidate should
not be asked "A LOT OF FOOLISH
QUESTIONS"
I'd attitude that arrogant corpor.
atoms used to take in refusing To an
swer questions of pertinent interest
10 their stockholders or to the gen
eral public, until the B|epublican party
remedied matters by passing a law
compelling publicity, and especially es-
t9blished the bureau Of commerce AID
labor TO secure it.
Mr.. Bryan, all the Democrats in the
convention at st. Louis. and in fact
all American voters of whatever pc
litical belief, had a perfect right to
expect detailed and explicit publicity
from Candidate Parker Of his views
on governmental financial policies, so
that they could know whether or not,
or TO what extent his views were their
views But this publicity wac denied
them, because the managers of the
convention deemed il of more i'm
portance to protect their candidate
from questions which he would not
want TO answer for fear Of making
a break than to protect the voters
OF the country from possible misun-
derstanding as to financial views which
might not bear the limelight Of public
discussion.
The managers Of a corporation con

which, if answered, might result in
an expose. And it is the same way
with the Democratic managers, who
think their only safe policy on the
currency question is to refuse to give
information as to what their policy
really is.

sis, he was glad to see, had not been
misapplied.
When Martin rejoined Sullivan's col
umn, which had been halted at the
crossroads, the men who had witnessed
his departure were eagerly waiting
his return. AS he repeated the gener
ais reply they began slipping the bayo-
nets over the muzzles of their guns

restraining them until the signal was

t1al stone bridge, which gave on the
road followed by Sullivan, at the west
end Of the village. Washington came
down from the north and entered the
village from the other side. About half

old man chopping wood In a farmyard

during the last year OF the Wilson

1893, the first year of the DiDgley

There is one thing about Police
Judge d. L. Sanders. He is without
fear or favor, says what he thinks, and
usually has good, sound sense to back
it up. Judge Sanders learned long
ago that one part Of community
can't force the other part to live as it
dictates, law or no law. Mayor Car
ter Harrison, in recent article, de-
clares that large number Of city laws
are intended merely as ornaments, and
not to be enforced. and that il any
effort were made to enforce them, Off
GERS Of the law would be lynched. He
also declared that no matter what laws
might exist on the books, they should
not be enforced IL public sentiment
doesn't want them enforced. This may
not be good or safe logic, but it is based
on the experience Of the mayor Of one
Of the greatest cities in the world.
