Democratic candidate for second place
on the ticket with Judge Parker.
An important factor in caudng dsser-
tions from the Democratic party. said
Mr.. Debs in the interview referred TO,
lis the fact that Henry G. Davis, the
vice presidential candidate, has always
been violently opposed to organised la
Dor, refusing to allow his own employees
to Join labor unions. and being mainly
instrumental In bringing the court In
functions In West Virginia issued against
labor unions, particularly those who were
trying to organize the coal miners in that
State."
In sharp contrast with the silence Of
Judge Parker and the open hostility OF
Senator Davis IL the record of President
Roosevelt, who has stood for the laboring
man At all times, and who has never hes
itated to declare himself on this subject.
II 10 no political clap-trap which influ-
ences the President OF the United States,
whenever he gets off train, day or
night, to yak to the head Of the plat
form to shake hands with the engineer
and fireman. 1t is as natural to him as
It would be to shake hands with any Of
the great men of the nation, because he
is essentially democratic and because,
from his cowboy days onward, he has
made friends of those about him, what
ever might be their rank in the social
or Industrial world. He was never shut
up In . study. he has always lived among
men, he has become acquainted with the
industrial problems of the age. and his
record ON this subject is singulariy In
contrast with that OF his Democratic op-
ponent.
Roosev-it's Declaration.
When Mr.. Roosevelt, at his home on
Sagmorc Hill, accepted the nomination
made by the Republican convection at
Chicago, he was silent upon nothing.
He expressed his views on every subject
with entire frankness, and the clearness
and the honesty of his declaration on the
labor question seem TO have won for
him the profound confidence Of the heads
OF the great trade organizations, whose
alternating currents pulsate so yisibly
here at the Hoosier capital. More than
Que of these leaders carries little card.
on which Is printed President Roose-
velt's declaration on the labor question.
In his speech Of acceptance. which reads
aH follows:
I'VE recognize the orranizatio Of cap
ital and the organization Of labor AZ nat
urni outcomcs OF our industrial system.
Each kind of organization is to be fay
ored. so long as ii nets In a spirit of jus
dce and OF regard for the rights of 9th
err. Each is To be granted the full pro-
lection Of the law. and eRch in turn is
to be held TO n strict obedience to the
law. for no man is above it. and no man
below it. The humblest individual In tn
have his rights sateguarded as scrupu-
lously as those OF the strongest organiza.
ton. for each is To receive justice. no
more and no less. The problems with
which we hare 10 deal in Our modern in.

the spirit In which il is necessary to ap-
proach their solution is simply the spirit
Of honesty. Of courage and Of common

Hi-t for Democratic SpelIbiuder~.

When Democratic spellbinders go be-

too much the devices OF our own hearts.
We have done those things which we
ought not to have done. and we have left

Roosevelt, and u.,o. Veterans,

In lSsp Theodore Roosevelt. ss Civil
Service Commissioner, devised the plan
by which veterans OF the war for the
Union who had been discussed from the
public service with good records could
bc reinssated. A great many veterans
had been discharged without cause dur
ing the previous Democratic adn,inistra-
ton. Under the rule devised and sstab-
iished by Mr.. Roosevelt hundreds OF
them were reinstateh in the public ser
vice during Mr.. Mckiniey's administra-
tion. As that was more than ten years
before Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated for
Vice President his action could not b.
attributed to political motives. IL vas
due to his regard for the veterans and to
a desire to remedy Democratic injustice.

Pass It Along.

We hear SO many walls from many
sources sung in the various langu-
ages regarding the protection of the
home merchant, and the newspaper
publisher invariably passes the song.
But how many of these same mer-
chants that are so anxious to pro-
tect. ever step out of their way to
protect men in other lines of bust
ness; the newspaper publisher for
instance? Do they not need protec-
ton as we'll as men in other lines OF
business? They have much to contend
with; with. the government in COM
petition with every job office in the
land, printing and furnishing enve-
lopes at less than printers have to
pay for the plain stock. What a
howl would 60 out if the government
went into other lines of busin ess on
the same plan. And many of the
same merchants whom all are anX-
ious to protect are using patent
medicine and other statements, let
ter heads and envelopes, and still
those same business men need pro.
lection. How about the publish ers
and job printers. don't they deserve
some of the protection so much
prated about? If it is good thing
and it surely is, pass it along.-Rice
Lake Leader.

Ashland announces celebration
in face of the fact that the Long
shoremen of this city were making
ARA 1gements for a big demon
stration on that day. An invitation
on greasy paper was extended the
Longshoresmens Association of
this city to attend the celebration
at Ashland, but they fatty refuseds
which was good evidence of their
admiration OF the "Mud City gall

bration for 1905 and will aid the

ing the day big one. Bayfield,
has always turned ont strong to
these celebrations wherever they
were held and we see no reason for
such treatment as we have just re-
ceived at the hands of the laboc
unions of Ashlana. AS a. conse-
quence of the turn of affairs bayfield,
will not celebrate Labor Day as was
announced some weeks ago. The

over this small work on the part of

great many candidates suggested
for the different positions, and it is
