ALL KINDS OF DEMOCRATS.

Cedar Rapids Republican.-Just be-
fore congress adjourned, Champ Clark
Of Missouri declared that he would
like to see every custom house in
America RACED to the ground, that we
hight have absolute free trade with all
the world The next day, Mr.. Will
liams the democratic leader, was chal-.
lenged to say whether or not he agreed
with Mr.. Clark. He refused to ans
wer one way or the other. Shortly af-
ter the democrats Of California held a
convention, and endorsed the radical
Hearst for the presidency. When it
came to the tariff, however, the Cali
fornia democrats were not radical. The
first plank submitted was recommit-
ted, with an order that the committee
give it some semblance of being demo-
cratic.
AS it was finally reported and ac-
cepted, it is mild indeed, as compared
with Champ Clark's program. The
California democrats declare that the
difference between the parties in the
matter of protection, is one of degree
only. Leader Williams was afraid to
say whether he endorsed Champ
Clark's position or not, but the Cali
fornia democrats assure us that "the
abolition of the tariff on products of
foreign countries, is not contemplated
by the democratic party" But they
want to have the tariff revised. They
say they think it ought to be changed
right away. But lest this brighten
somebody, they conclude by saying:
THE democratic party pledges itself
to careful and fair revision of the
existing tariff. Kentucky has just
adopted similar resolution.
1t will be seen that there are all
sorts Of democrats on the tariff CUES
ton as on eVery other question What
can be expected of constructive ma
ture from such a party? Nothing, alb
solutely nothing, but a display of dis
cord and incompetency. The demo-
cratic party can never be the party Of
achievement.

ules, that we may capture the mar
kets of the world, Americans will do
well to remember that they have a
market right here at home, which ex-
ceeds in Importance all the other mar
kets of the world
And too, all that is necessary to
keep it so is for American citizens to
stand firm in their demand that this
market and people shall be protected
from unequal foreign competition.

WITH sADDENEo HEARTS.

It was with sorrowing hearts that
Ottumwans today laid to rest the re.
mains of their late fellow citizen, Hon
A. w. Buchanan. During the many
years in which Mr. Buchanan has been
a resident of Ottunwa he has by his
upright life and his kindly and active
interest in the welfare of humanity
endeared himself to its citizens. This
esteem was more eloquently expressed
by the large attendance at the funeral

oREeoN's VERDICT.

st. Louis obe-Democrat.-As test
ed by the poll in the election just held,
Roosevelt's lead in Oregon in 1904 will
reach figure never closely approach
ed in the past. Oregon's June election
in presidential years has, since the
disappearance of Ohio and Indiana as
October states, been the most reliable
advance barometer of the strength and
direction Of the partisan currents Of

duration. AS national factor he was
unknown until 1896; and he lived long
enough to outgrow the ill repute that
accompanied his entrance into politics.
Enemies grew into friends and there
was a pleasure in his later years that

the big national canvasses. Democrats
and republicans give particular atten-
ton to them on this account. They
fortell the general result throughout
the country five months later with
substantial accuracy. The verdict of
Mondays election in Oregon is of
happy omen for the party in power in
the nation. 1t means that the republi-
can tide throughout the country Is

SPEAKER CANNON AGAIN.

Sioux City Journal.-Speaker Can
non refuses to welcome the renewed
suggestion of his name for the vice
presidential nomination at Chicago.
He has made it plain that the nominal
ton would be to that extent distaste-
full to him that he would decline to
accept it, and all who know the man
have entire confidence that he means
what he says.
1t is said in behalf Of the nomination
of Speaker Cannon that he is the right
type, and that if consideration be Civ
en- to the right type in the end the
right man will get the nomination
If not SPEAKER Cannon, some one like
him. satisfying the sense of the
country" This has appearance of dis
position to use the speaker as a wedge
to pry out of the way candidates, real
or assumed, who are considered OBJ
jectionable. 1t is not a compliment to
good man to put him to squeeze of
that kind
The country will be satisfied with
the nomination of man for vice presi-
dent OH the republican ticket who is
large enough for the place. There is
always the contingency to consider,
since experience has taught the les
son, that the vice president may be
called to first place. The office of vice
president is not as responsible as the
Office of speaker of the house of rep
resentatives. The place is not as indie
pendent as that of the speakership.
The speaker can do things; the vice
president can only sit and wait for the
senate to do things. 1t is safe to say the
duties Of the place would be irksome
to Uncle joe" and it may we'll bs
doubted if the senate itself would not
regard him as misfit.
If the national convention should
find it a puzzle to name the right man
for second place on the ticket, it might
be possible to persuade the man al
ready agreed upon for first place to
express his judgment, and let that end
| the matter.

FACTS WORTH REMEMBERlNe.

Attempts to discover paramount is
sue for the campaign having failed
it now appears that the democrats will
again call into service the tariff ques-
ton. That they will Lave no new ar
guments against the protective tariff
is to be expected though they will at
tempt to disguise old denunciations in
new garb. That they may not be able
to deceive by their much speaking it is
we'll TO review some of the results that
have come during the past seven years
and keep in mind certain facts pertain
ing to the economic conditions of the
country In speech delivered in Des
Moines just prior to the republican
state convention Secretary Shaw set
forth certain facts that are well worth
remembering and will serve to keep
us straight in regard to the practical
workings of protection.
Secretary Shaw on that occasion
took note of the so-called Importance
attached by democrats to the foreign
market. By way of contrast, however,
he exemplifed the Importance of the
home market and gave reasons why
remembering and will serve to keep
in force and the republican party
should be continued in power as the
protector Of the home market.
"The productive capacity of the
American people, without counting du-
plications. is about $1,000, 100000 per
annum.
"This does not include both corn and
fat cattle, but does include corn and
the increased value of cattle caused
by feeding.
at does not include both raw and
manufactured cotton but does include
raw cotton and the increased value
thereof produced at the factory.
"Of this net product ($11 100000, 000)
we export in round numbers $780,
900 1000, and we import in round mum
bers $1,000, 100000.
1--WE therefore consume $1,500,000,
600 per annum.
There is no other such market or
the earth as that market which has
been built by and is now dependent
upon the protective tariff.
"But that is not all The last cen
sus gave the output of the American
farm as little less than $4,000,000,
600 and the gross product Of our manu-
features at $13,OOO,OO0,OO
Where do these factories get theil
raw material from which they produce
5000, 100000 in finished products?
THE census shows that they get 81
per cent of from the American farm
Where Dies the American sell his
$4,000,000 900 of farm products?
"The census shows that he sells
more than one-half of it to the Ameri
can manufacturer and in addition he
feeds 100000 operatives in the fac
tories.
Our internal revenue commerce is
estimated at $4,000, 100000 an amour,
in excess of the export trade of every
country on the map plus the import
trade of the world.
"Our democratic friends have ever
denied the wisdom of developing the
home market"
AS the above shows beyond doubt
our domestic market is the best il
| the world, the wisdom of concerning it
expanding its trade and providing fol
| all it's necessities Is evident. When

WINS VICTORY
IN TWO WAYS
CITY of Pomona Puts Enemy
to Rout in Battle With
Clubs and Points of Law

The Supreme Court handed down
decision yesterday denying the claim
of the Southern Pacific Company to
the title to First street in the city of
Pomona. 1t is held that the corpora
ton allowed its rights to lapse, if it
was ever possessed of any in the prop
erty in dispute. The action of the
citizens in using force to maintain
their rights is upheld.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany acquired title to the twenty acres
of which the thoroughfare consists by
purchase from Louis Phillips in 1873.
The property was subsequently trans
ferred to the Southern Pacific Com
pany assignee Of the other corpora
ton.
The citizens of Pomona used First
street as q highway as early as 1871.
In 1875 the Supervisors Of Los Angeles
County laid out and recorded First
street as a public thoroughfare. The
agents of the railroad were shown to
have recognized the claim Of the clti-
zens at various times, although the
corporation was never officially nott-
fed that the street was made public.
On April 13, 1901, the Southern Pa
cific Company commenced the laying
O; a track along First street and an
nounced that warehouses would be
built as soon as possible, thus per-
manently obstructing the thorough
fare. When the citizens of Pomona
learned of the plan they turned out
in force and put the corporations SER
wants to flight. Many heads were
broken before this was accomplished
and for a time much more serious
trouble was threatened.
The Southern Pacific Company then
appealed to the courts for damages
and an injunction restraining the citi-
zens from interfering with the cor
poration's work. The lower court de-
cided in favor of the city and the
higher tribunal affirms that decision.
1t is held that the road was in open
and notorious use for thirty years and
that the railroad should have pre-
sented its claims earlier if it hoped to
prove title to the highway.

GIRL IS LAST
SEEN At HOTEL
Young Guest of st. Francis
Is AnxiOusly Sought by
Her Friends and Police
MISSING SINCE TUESDAY
Annie Baker of Santa Bar
bara Comes Here to Visit,
but Suddenly Disappears

The mysterious disappearance from
the st. Francis Hotel last Tuesday OF
Miss Annie Baker of Santa Barbara is
deeply concerning her friends and rela-
tives. Yesterday one Of her friends,
William Mckenzie of Monterey. who
arrived here late Thursday in search Of
the young woman, failing to gain any
trace of her, acted on the advice of the
hotel people and reported the case to
the police. The missing girl is II years
OF age and has been living with her
mother in Santa Barbara, where she
was employed by the telephone COM
pany as an operator.
Two weeks ago she journeyed north
to Monterey to visit the wife of Nc
Kenzie, of whom she was a school
chum. Sunday night, according to the
statement made by Mckenzie to the
hotel clerks yesterday, Annie received
a letter from this city which she
claimed was from family named Ash
ton, living on Washington street. in
viting her to spend 2 few days with
them.
She left Monterey on the afternoon
train on Monday and, arriving here
late that evening, went to the st. Fran
els Hotel, where, for some reason
which is yet to be explained, she reg
istered under the name of Mabel Bond.
The next day she left the hotel and
that was the last seen of her. The
young girl left her trunk with the Nc
kenzies in Monterey and had very lit
tie money with her.
Wednesday young man of Monterey
with whom Anne was acquainted, re-
ceived a note from her briefly announc-
ing her arrival in this city and stating
that she was staying at the st. Fran
els Hotel. The letter was turned over
to the McKenzies, who, knowing that
their young acquaintance was not pos
sessed of sufficient funds to permit her
to stay at hotel and, recalling that
Annie had stated that she purposed
visiting friends here, became suspicious
that all was not right and on Thursday
Mckenzie came to this city to find
the girl. Inquiry at the hotel devel-
oped the fact that no one by the name
Of Baker was there, but a description
Of the girl led to the discovery that
she had registered under the name of
Mabel Bond.
McKenzie's next move was to try to
locate the Ashton family, but he was
surprised to find that no such family
lives on Washington street Hoping
that Annie might return, to the ST.
Francis, Mckenzie patiently loitered
about the establishment the greater
part of yesterday and finally was ad-
vised to report the case TO the police.
Meanwhile he had notified the young
girls relatives Of the fact Of her dis
appearance and received a response to
exert every possible effort to find her.
The missing girl is of fair complexion,
rather attractive and, according to
Mckenzie, is engaged to marry a prom
inent young man OF Santa Barbara.
