quence the Russians will not be sur

Democracy's Future.

New York, Nov. 12.-Readjust-

party has begun with the declaration
of the radic.is that they propose to
take control OF the organization ma
chinery and run Bryan or his candi-
date in 1908.

for the candidate and the platform
as well as for the policy of the cam
paign. are so staggered that they
haven't got together yet. That they
will resist the attempt OF the Bryan
ties to wrest control of the organiza-
tion from them is shown by the &C
tivity of some of the friends of Gro
yer Cleveland and the independent
democratic element which is found
outside of Tammany hall. No lead
er nor spokesman has appeared yet,
but the visit of Mr.. Cleveland to this
city tomorrow may lead to an out
spoken declaration from the repre-
sentative of the safe and sane"
wing.
William ]. Bryan's bold announce
ment that the party must declare
itself a radical one. and Judge Par
ker's address. suggesting his willing
ness to aid or lead, IL need be, the
safe and sane" ones, has made the
future of democracy a timely topic
of discussion among those who have
had time to recover from the shock
of Roosevelt's astounding pluralities
all over the country. Some lively
fighting among the two wings of the
democracy is certain 10 come during
the next three years. in anticipation
of the struggle for control of the dem
ocratic national convention of 1908.

APATHY AND A GREAT ISSUE.

Rarely has machine operated more
smoothly and unobtrusively than that
which is effecting Mr.. Roosevelt's nom
nation. 1t is at work upon SO to speak,
a foregone conclusion, and the perfume
tory business is utterly lacking in
human interest. Its very obviousness
is uninteresting. The people, long
familiar with the plan and the opera
tions and conceding the result as in
evitable, are unable to bestow even
attention upon the activities" of the
federal officeholders dominant in the
political field. Roosevelt conventions
are without new interest.
Interest in the nominee himself is
dead. Mr.. Roosevelt is no longer a
sensation. His spectacular methods
have long since palled. He has dubbed
the public mind with his capital "P'
until his opinions upon the eternal
verities awaken no response. The pub
lie has simply been overworked by his
heroic impressiveness and his personal
pronoun. He suffers the consequences.
The things for which Mr.. Roosevelt
stands are not calculated to dispel
apathy-unless they should provoke
active public opposition. He represents
no vivid principle, but is the apostle Of
standpatism. He stands pat upon the
republican record of the last eight
years, upon the federal scandals, upon
the benefcence of the Dingley sched-
ules and the benevolence of the protect
ed monopolies. Neither the man nor
his platform possesses an appeal.
On the other hand, they do furnish
democracy with abundant argument.
The unsafeness Of Mr.. Roosevelt is a
fact growing in acceptance in both
what is known as the popular mind and
the politically powerful commercial
sphere. He as appears by his record in
office arms the opposition with sufficient
issue,w were there others of moment want
ing-he stands as a menace of tempera-
mental rashness and unsound statesman

THE OFFICIAL BEE.

This is the season of the year when
the official microbe begins to work in
good many people. 1t is honorable to
aspire to an Office. 1t is perfectly in
line with good ethics and good manners
to ask your friends for their support to
further your interest or your candi-
dacy. Every man has right to aspire
to any Office that looks good to him, but
if you run for Office be on the square
with your brother, who wants the same
place as you. Do not think that you
are the only one who ever did anything
for your friends or the party to which
you belong and finally above all things
when majority have spoken, don't get
sore. What if some people have lied to
you? If you did not expect that when
you started out to run you were very
new to the world. Not that men are
more dishonest politically than any
other way. The man who lies political
ly lies in any other way if his present
circumstance is better served by lying.
No sane man believes you can be honest
in other ways and dishonest politically.
Above all things don't fail to blame the
editor Of your local paper if you fail to
land; for if you are shrewd you ought to
be able to trace your defeat directly to
him. OF course he will deny il, but IL in
doubt that he has played double with
you, just consult the other fellows who
in years gone by have asked for q place
on the ticket, nearly all of you will then
be willing to give little testimon-
J ial on the subject. Oberlin Times.

MEAT pLENTY-pRlcEs HIGH.

The tariff protected meat trusts, like
the coal combine and the other monop-
lies still fatten on the public which is
really entitled to no sympathy because
it votes with blind heedlessness to
perpetuate the very conditions that
make this extortion possible. The
bureau Of statistics of the department
of commerce and labor rep ,rts1 that
during the first quarter of the year
there were received at the five princi-
pal markets, Chicago included, 1854 900
head of live stock, compared with
1908, 900 head in 1903. But notwith-
standing this fact retail prices continue
at the same high level as if the short
age of livestock prevailed. Here is
shown the receipts for three months of a
million and quarter more head than
during the same period last year and
while an increasing population natur-
ally demands more meat, obviously
there has been no such increase as cor
responds to the added supply now upon
the market.
| The truth is that the excessive prices
extorted from the consumer are found
ed on one Of the greatest monopolies
that robs the public and ANTITRUST laws
are enforced in no manner to relieve
the situation while tariff barriers are
kept up by vulgar standpatters more
loyal to monopoly than to the welfare
of the people. 1t is true that the abro-
cation of duties might not save us from
trust extortion upon meats, but on the
other hand it is not improbable that the
free Importation of live stock from Mex
leo and Canada would produce results
highly beneficial to the consuming
masses. But, whatever the effect, the
facts remains that the combine is en-
titled to no coddling, and that it should
still be treated as an infant industry is
a colossal absurdity.
