DEMOCRATS AND TRUSTS.

A howl has gone up campaign after
campaign against the trusts and tae
Democratic party was thought to be
dead set against them. But it appears
it was only fooling. The Democratic
members of the U. S. Supreme Court
could not see their Nay clear to sup-
port Republican administration in
downing one of the greatest combina-
tions in existence. The last Democratic
president regarded himself powerless to
punish them in any way or to take any
action that would restrict their power.
the Democratic party in power has
never done any thing to crush them,
except to bring calamity, starvation and
misery to the populace generally.
Roosevelt has done a good deal to check
them and to restrain them from threat
ening the good of the country and the
people in general.
Should the so-called conservatives
control the Democatic campaign this
year there viii be but little
said of them on that side of the
political fence. Parker is trust man
and the conservatives are trust fellows.
They are counting on trust influences to
succor them financially in the cam
paigp. They do not, therefore dare put
mp howl against the trusts or declare
war upon them. And ii they do not,

Charleston newspaper men are work
ing over time to tell what awful things
are going to happen in Kanawha
county at the Republican primaries on
Saturday, but there is always great
big "if" somewhere in the articles. 1t
looks like one side down there is afraid
of the other and both are trying to run
a bluff. The amusing part of it, how
ever, is the way the Parker5burg papers
are worked up over it. Both the State
Journal and the News seem to be
scared out of their boots, but they are
trying to infiame the people down
around Charleston rather than to paci-
fly them. But what they say about the
matter will nave but little bearing on
the situation, as it is a. ten-to-one shot
that the Charlestonites do not know
there is such thing as either paper,
or at least they do not see one once a
decade. If those Parkersburg papers
could just hire the Charleston papers
as press agents and get all their stuff
reproduced in them, then might there
be some show for battle royal.

Weak, sickly people often remark iii
/ could only get something that would
nourish me and give me strength" they
do not know why, but the food they
eat is of no benefit TO them, they gain
no flesh and feel no stronger. The
fact is the stomach is too weak to per-

they once had rs gone. The blood be-
comes more thin and watery, bringing

for all this that acts in the right way.

done, and when they do that, they by
example in the past tell the people that
Roosevelt is all right.
The situation is one of great perplex-
ity to them to know just how to fool
both the people and the trusts-the
first to get their votes and the second
to get their money to carry on the cam
paign. As the result the natural ex-
pectation is that the Democratic utter
ances on the trust question will be
vague and meaningless.

Dawson used to live in Preston
county and from the tremendous vote
he received over Teter at the primary
election in, that county, it is now in
order for the State Journal to talk
about his running in his own county,
but that depends on what he does in
Kanawha county Saturday. II he fails
there, the State Journal win refer to
Preston as his nome county, but should
he carry Kanawha also it vii be case

concerned.

The Republican leaders by agreement
have fixed the policy of the party on
the tax question and that policy in
cludes tax reform. Both candidates
have subscribed to that agreement and
it is the duty of every other candidate
to do SO. All the candidates in Harrison
county have done so and on That score
they are all on the same footing. One
is just as much tax reformer as the
other and they have all declared them.

ride in on that claim than the other.

Co. Bryan pokes a good deal of fun
at Parker. He says he never knew him,
never heard of him, never knew any
thing about him, and did not know he
was alive, until he was mentioned for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton, and now he is of the decided opin-
ion that he, is a weak.minded sort of
fellow without any opinion or any
thing, Such commentary is sad, but
Bryan probably knows what he is talk
ing about once in his life.

The idea has gotten into the heads OF
Democrats, that is some of them, that
negroes should be taught trades, but a
certain amount of 'tbook learning is
essential to prepare them for That, and
in the states that have DISTINGUISHED
them on the ground of illiteracy the
thought of their being able to vote as
soon as they are ready to follow a
trade will speedily result in depriying
them of even the opportunity to learr
trade and be useful. The Democratic
idea is that they should be beasts OF
burden just like they were before the
war, only more so hereafter.
