Parker and the Trusts.

Trust magnates having furnished the
funds to carry on Parker's campaign,
will now be relegated to the rear. How
ever. Cord Meyer of the sugar trust and
other representatives of grasping corpo-
rations have such a hold on the Demo
cratic candidate that they will continue
TO control him. Their RELOCATION to the
rear is merely Il blind to deceive the
people. When Parker visited New York
ne told his managers he did not wish
his remarks on the trusts 'queered," and
that during the remainder of the cam
paiSn the magnatcs who have been pn-
ralins and jubilating over his nominal
ton should be less open in their demons
strations of joy. He further said he
could not get close to the people as long
as the trust magnates openly shouted for
him. What the judge meant was that
his wealthy sponsors should keep dark
until after election. when they could
come to the front again.

Legislative Lonan,.rk.

Some of the landmarks of historic
legislation created during President
Roosevelt's administration are: a. 1Fh.
law for the civil government of the Phil.
ippines; %. Corporate legislation. chief
OF which is that creating the Department
of Commerce and Labor, with broad
powers, which. in the nature Of things,
must steadily grow; (@. Cuban reciproc-
lty, comforting material benefits on both
Cuba and the United States; a., The
treaty and laws that make the Panama
canal n certainty; CO... The law for the
irrigation of the arid lands OF the great
West.
Against these accomplished results dur
ing one administration OF the party that
does things. the Democratic party has
nothing TO offer but empty words and
hish-sounling promises.

Theodore Roosevelt occupies n UNIQUE

Candidate aud Platform

This years presidential election will
not be won by any formal platform. The
Republican platform is good, but the Re
publican candidate is better. The truth
is MIR. Roosevelt is the real platform
for both parties. He is the main point
of attack by the Democrats and the main
source of strength for the Republicans.
He would be elected without any plat
form except the record of the party and
his OWL.

De Triain.

The Democratic party processes a
most sacred reverence for the constitu-
ton. yet by nominating an octogenariau
for Vice President it has shown utter
disregard for the provision of the con-
stitution which, in case of the death or
inability Of the President. devolves his
duties upon the Vice President. No
party has a right to trihe with great
public interests in that manner.

THE SILLY SEASON.

Great snakes. familiar as you please,
Come gliding through the door.
They calmly lie around at ease
Or sprawl out on the floor.
They start the fire and roast bird.
Then go and milk the COW,
For II is. as you may have heard.
The silly season now.
Down through the air an eagle flies
And pounces on boy
And carries to it's nest the prize,
Which it devours with Joy.
The mother rushes to and fro
And tries to raise a row,
For 1t is. as you doubtless know.
The silly season now.
Out where the people go to rest,
Down by some sylvan lake.
IT'S there you'll find him at his best,
The great half fish, half snake.
For the sea serpent, after prey.
The waters deep must pillow.
For 1t is, so the neighbors say.
The silly season now.
And so 1t is the stories run,
The tales beyond belief
That travellers who are after fun
Tell just to get relief
From boredom. SO a grain of salt
With each you must allow.
For 1t is-there lies all the fault
The silly season now.
