Democratic Dilemma.

The Democratic candidate for governor whoever he
may be. will be Obliged to answer this question.
The Republican administration has had the courage
to inagurae the policy Of suppressng mob violence and
strike lawlessness. The Democratic candidate will not
be permitted to stradde this question He will be obliged
say whether he will continue this policy or
abandon it. There is no middle ground; he side
step this issue.
If he declares for continuing the policy OF using the
state troops to and to suppress strike violence
and to maintain the right of free labor he will lose the
Socialist and radical vote; if he declares against
policy in of the weak, cowardy course of the
last Democratic administration which refused send
troops to Telluride permitting reign of terror
nue for months in that district he will lose votes
of the law and order Democrats.
This is the dilemma which confronts the Demo
cratic party and is from which it possibly

will not be apt to permit the Democratic to

The Million Dollar Loan.

In an editorial under the above
caption, the People, of Baton
Rouge, has the following to say:
"The bonded debt of the State,
in round figures, apprOximates
twelve and a half millions. Half
a million is paid out annually for
interest thereon-enough every
two years for a million dollars
worth of scbOOlhOuses. No sink
ing fund is provided to reduce the
principal of this debt. Hence the
payment of this immense sum an.
nually may be expected to go on
Indefinitely. The proposed mil.
hon dollar loan makes no better
provision for it's cancellation, and
the State would have an increase
of round million in its bonded
indebtedness and thirty thousand
dollars more interest to pay an
nualIy.
Setting aside the tax-exemp-
tions and other exceptional adj
vantages, that the proposed bonds
would offer to the banks, the $780,
600 that they would draw annual
ly for interest would, in ten years,
amount to 100000. A direct ap-
preparation Of $4,000 more annu-
ally, would, in ten years, complete
the million that we would like to
see devoted the identical purpose
for which this onerous loan is ad-
vocated.
The General Assembly of 1902,
not only met the ordinary demands
upon the government, in most
liberal manner, but it voted $780,
600 toward the erection Of a court
building in New Orleans and
100000 for the Louisiana Pur-
chase Expositiol,.'

The AutumnaI Equinox.

On Thursday of this week we
passed the autumnial equinox
The few days proceeding that
period were distressing and ener
waiting, caused more by the humid
ity of the atmosphere than by
high temperature. Several weeks
of dry weather prevailed uninter
ruptedly.
On Thursday night, near mid
night, atmospheric conditions
changed bringing great and ap'

throughout this section and there
was an appreciatable drop in the
mercury. No high winds accom-
panied the change.

THREE REASONS
Why the People Should Vote
Against the Million. Dollar
Bond Issue.

Shreveport Caucasian, Sept. 20.
The proposed million dollar
bond issue has been sugarc0ated
heavy with educational gloss to
catch the people, but it is sincere
ly hoped that it will be voted
down for the following reasons:
1. 1t permits banks to buy the
bonds with the depositors' money
and then secure exemption form
all taxation for either State, NUM-
cipal or parochial purposes and at
the same time draw 3 per cent
interest on the same twice a year,
which makes it too costly.
2. The proposed amendment
does not provide how the funds
should be divided, whether accord
ing to the number of educable
children, or the amount Of taxes
paid by the respective parishes,
leaving it to be divided according
to the will and pleasure of the
Governor and his board, leaving
the door open for gross favoritism
and oppression.
3. The people are denied the
right to elect their school boards
to handle these funds and there.
fore should refuse to furnish the
funds to be distributed at the
discretion of others over whom
they have no control, which in eff.
feet amounts to taxation without
representation.

WHAT IS
"OPH7HALMOLOGY2"

The meaning of the word,
"Ophthalmology," is not gen
orally we'll understood. The
dictionaries differ, also medi-
cal and optical schools, in CIV
ing the exact meaning of this
word and it's application.
Some say it is "the science of dis
eases of the eye," while others hold it
is "the science which treats of the
structure. functions, and diseases of
the eye." We are inclined to accept
the latter definition.

PULiTZER'S MISTAKE.

the concluding paragraph:

you see him tomorrow at Esopus, to urge
that he accept also the full responsibility Of

to be mismanaged by the small politicians
who beset him.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
1t Expands Under Republican and Col
lapses Under Dem ratio Policies.

AdpSGS DehOCTaIlC
One of the great arguments of the
free traders has been that with free
trade we would have access TO the mar
kets of the world" Well. the only time
the free traders have had control of
the government in recent years was in
the second Cleveland administration.
They did not put actual free trade into
operation, but they came close enough
to 1t to put most of the factories of
this country out of operation. We did
not get the markets of the world. They
may have been open to us, but our man
ufacturers were going out of business so
fast, under the ruinous tariff schedules
the Democrats had put into effect that
they could not seek the markets of the
world. Their own home market, the best
one to them. was invaded by cheap for
eign goods. however.
Then the protective tariff system vas
reinstated by the people of this country,
and Immediately the factories began to
turn their wheels again. Within ten
years we have demonstrated that the
way to get the markets of the world
is to protect our own market against
invasion, build up our industries, and
then branch out for foreign trade.
We have not had anything like free
trade within those ten years. and yet We
are selling millions Of dollars worth of
goods every year in the markets of the
world
In Congress, last winter, Congressman
Hill, of Connecticut, told of a recent
visit he had made abroad. He said:
Il stood on the deck of Japanese liner
in ha apho Of oil in
Siberia. In the hold of that ship was
over 700 tons of American agricultural
implements that had come across the
Pacific ocean from America for the use
of the peasants of Siberia, and shipped
there under the Dingley tariff bill. That
night at the hotel met the represent
alive Of a locomotive works in Fhila-
deIphia who told me he had just put i'll
$50 locomotives, for use in the Siberian
railway. shipped there under the Ding
ley tariff law.
Next day | rode 500 miles up the
banks OF the Amur river over American
steel rails shipped there under the
Dingley tariff law. Then l got aboard
a steamer to go up the Amur |, 800 miles.
1t was American built, towed two steel
barges made in Pttsburg, shipped there
under the Dingley tariff law.
"In the village of Gorbtza, Siberia,
ten thousand miles from here, the viii
lage consisting of dozen log houses,
i'll a little store not over s by 10, we
bought a package of candy, wrapped in
paper on which was printed the picture
of William Mckinley, to popularize that
candy among the peasants of Siberia,
all shipped under the Dingley tariff
law"
That looks as il We had slice of
the markets of the world but we never
got anywhere near them under Demo-
cratic tariff ideas.

NOT USED BY DEMOCRATS
Adjectives for Which Parker's Fol-
lowers Have No Use.

I'VE know what we mean when we
speak of an honest and stable currency,
said President Roosevelt in his speech
of acceptance.
In no official utterance of the Demo-
cratic party, or of its candidates for
President or Vice President during the
last eight years, have the adjectives
honest" or stable ever been used to
designate the kind of currency Democ-
racy demanded, and this Notwithstanding
the Democratic phrase makers will use
adjectives freely and recklessly when
ever they have any paramount" or
''tantamount' idea to advance. like in
the platform adopted at st. Louis, which
said 1.-The existing Republican admins
tration has been SPASMODIC, Err
RATIO, SENSATIONAL, SPECTAC-
ULAR and ARBITRARY"
Alton B. Parker says the gold stand
ard is 'irreyocably established" but he
does not say that his own personal be-
lief in it as affording an HONEST
AND STABLE CURRENCY" has been
irrevocably established, nor, furthermore,
that he deemed the Democratic party
wrong. when in Congress, in 1899, it al
most to a man voted against the estab-
lishment of the gold standard.
As the gold standard of value was
then ''irrevocably established" not by
the Democratic party, but by the Repub~
lican party, the only gold standard that
the Democratic party can honestly claim
to have 'irrevocabfy established is the
gold standard of silence on a subject on
which it never did talk except to lower
itself in the estimation of intelligent peo-
pie, and to breed apprehension in bust
ness circles

CHlCAGO'S MAYOR PROPHET
Queer Prophecies About the Vote of

Carter III. Harrison (No. ~, who has,

of Chicago has been lifting up his voice
in newspaper interview, giving his
views as to tn coming Democratic cam

paign. Anyway, he says he will himself
make at least t,irty-nine speeches in
Cook county. That of itself will make
something like a campaign, but why
tllrty-nine? Why not an even forty?

odd numbers? Somehow. one is remind

you from your vision as to Democratic

President Roosevelt has no more
sturdy admirers than in the ranks of the
Illinois citizens of North Europe birth
and parentage. Every German loves a
good fighter. a sound thinker. a man of
tried and proved patriotism. And so
does every son Of the Vikings and every
descendant Of the liberty-loviug Poles.
And these American citizens upon whom
Carter H. is counting so hlithely know
