PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY
Roosevelt's Republican" Radicalism
Smacks Strongly of opposi-
ton Doctrine.

Democrats the country over will cor
daily approve the Roosevelt demands
as to tariff and trust regulation, for the
reason that these demands are funda-
mentally right and, in as far as they go,
essentially democratic. Mr.. Roosevelt
i~ncarnates a republican radicalism
which is forced out of it's sphere into a
democratic position, but the fact that the
issues bear a republican" label will not
prevent democrats from perceiving their
true nature. A label is no more thar
a label and cannot change the nature Of
the substance, says the St. Louis Repub-
lie. Democratic principles are I'M
changeable and perpetual-and it is
most often the case when the repub-
licans are right that their position is an
assumed and borrowed one. Democracy
stands in fundamental and eternal ppo-
sition to Capitalization of power and for
the preservation of the individuals
rights: and when a wing of the repub-
lican party, through motives of self
preservation, is forced to veer about and
oppose federal and party usurpation
democrats can do no less than indorse
the radical position as being right and
in the direct line of principles which
their w party has maintained for a
century, and which are universally rec
ognized as democratic, both in the party
and in the broader sense.
Particularly the democratic party a
defined the trust and tariff issues, con-
spicuously maintained them and based
it's campaigns Upon them. They had
their source and inception in the demo-
cratic party; it's title to them has never
been disputed and can never be success
fully disputed.
The republican party can never be rec
cgnized on a democratic basis. AS a
party it can never adhere long to a DEM
oeratic position. So much of it as faces
about and takes up the direction of de-
ocratic effort must be cut off from the
republican party. Between Roosevelt
radicalism and the republican ma
chine forces making for Capitalization
of federal government there is nothing
but a~ntagonism. The Dingley tariff and
the great private ~monopolies are repub-
lican properties. Their origin, growth
and power are distinctively and indis-
putably republican. They are of the
party and constitute much of it as a
practical institution. They are in the
DRY and fact republican precisely as op-
position to them is in theory and fact
democratic. Mr.. R~oosevelt's avowed
and active fight therefore must be and
can be nothing else than a fight along
the lines of democratic principle against
the republican party and republican
properties, and as far as he will carry it
democrats must accompany and support
him. The concession will not be a con-
cession by democrats to a republican ex-
e~cutive, but a concession by the presi-
dent to basic democratic truth and doc
trine.

Valuable White Sapphire.

The largest white sapphire ever dis
covered has been taken to Berlin by
NJ. Heppmer, a German engineer, who
has resided for many years in Brazil
where he possesses several mines. Be-
fore cutting, the stone weighed 1,25C
carats, but a flaw caused the cleavage
of a piece weighing 400 carats. This
piece will produce a cut stone of loo
carats. That cut from the larger piece
weighs Ais carats, is two inches in
length, and M inch and a half wide
and thick. The owner values the stone
at 300. 900 crowns.

ALLISON BREAKS RECORDS
Iowa Senator Has Served Thirty-Two
Consecutive Years in Upper
House of Congress.

WashingtoI.-The fourth of March
was an interesting day to the American
people, not only because it marked the
Inauguration of MI. Roosevelt as presi-
dent, but because it witnessed the close
of several long senatorial careers, and
the breaking of all records for continu-
Gus and combined service in the senate

Whitewashing Report.

Commissioner Garfeld's whitewash-
ing report of the so-called dressed meat

the Roosevelt administration than con-
yincfng to the public. This alleged com
bination has been particularly under the
fire of the federal authority for some
time. There is outstanding against the
firms under investigation an Injunction

THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths
That Are Peace.

1t is the simple life that gives length
of days, serenity Of mind and body
and tranquility Of soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bound
ed by the desire to do good to ones
neighbors, simple pleasures, habits,
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be.
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too high
and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that a simple die
has done her:

better and clearer. My friends tell

used to wear cowhide boots while in
congress years ago, has been on a

were glad to see that he sticks to the
