The counting of the figures swells the

people of the United States declared for

completion of the official canvass shows
that Theodore Roosevelt received 1927
632 votes, majority of GAG. 76S over all

In 13. The net gain Of the republicans
was 1879 The net loss of the dem
ocrats was 1850 ,699. Roosevelt carried
~ states with 336 electoral votes.
This vast result of victory is both en-
enlargement and warning. says the
Troy Times. 1t is an announcement
to those who believe that the people

which result in good, and it is warning
that no party of opposition can succeed
when 1t has no platform but that of de-
traction and the abuse of success.
SO long as the republican party re-
mains faithful to those principles which
mean national progress and public
morality, so long can II rely upon the
suffrage of an educated and conscien-
tious people.

necessarily Nominating Some Other

one has TO 90 away from home to hear
the home news. and the information
comes by way OF Lafayette, Ind. that at
the coming annual banquet OF the Jack

immodest. He is necessarily nominal

working against himself all the time.
This impression is apt to remain until
one observes the character of Mr.. Bry-

Bryan's Heresy Hunt for True Demo.
Gratis May Result in Per-
sonal Disaster.

With an intention to be sarcastic, Mr..
Bryan and divers of his disciples have
taken TO repeating the statement that
there is not room in this country for two
republican parties. The innuendo is, of
course, that the so-called safe and sane"
element of the democratic party are
really republicans. says the Chicago
chronicle. who cannot be allowed TO
control the democratic organization.
There is this foundation for the BRYAN
mplication-that the men sneered at
nave more in common with republican
ism than with the queer agglomeration
oil political and economic heresies which
MT. Bryan declares TO be democracy. IL
MIR. Bryan is a democrat then Grover
Cleveland. Richard Olney. John G. Car
Isle, William +. Villas, James IL. Eckels
and men of that kind are not democrats.
Inc whole issue is with respect to the
definition of the word democrat"
1t may be admitted. however. that Mr..
Bryan and his followers are in the ma
1ority of the organization titularly
styled the democratic party and that
they have the power-if not the law
ful authority-to read out of that organ
ization the only true democrats within
it
Ii may also be admitted that the nat
ural and legitimate refuge for such ex-
truded democrats is the republican
party So that we may admit the neces-
sity Tor democrats to ally themselves,
temporarily. at least, with the repub-
lican party, though denying MIR. Bryan S
right to asperse their democracy.

lest 1t be used to his own discontinue.
If a band of populists can take posses

eVlct the real democrats therefrom il is
not only possible but highly probable
indeed, 1t is almost certain.-that n band
OF socialists may in turn secure control
and turn the populist occupants into the
street bag and baggage.
If Mr.. Bryan and his disciples are go
ing to make heresy hunt for democrats
who do not believe in populism they
cannot complain when they themselves

WILL THEY AGAIN REFUSE Z?
The Democratic Policy in Dealing
with Wards of the
Nation.

Ii Is highly probable that before the
end OF the present and last session OF the
Fffty-eishth congress another oppor-
tunity will be presented TO democratic
senators to do what they refused in the
t1fty-seventh congress to do for the re-
lief of the Filipinos. When. on that oc-
casion, Senator Foraker offered an
amendment to the Philippine tariff bill
adding % per cent. to the proposed % per
cent reduction of duties on imports from
the Philippines. making a total cut OF 90
per cent, his proposition had the sup
port OF so many republican senator's that
IL would have been carried If il had been
viewed with favor on the democratic
side OF the chamber. Failing TO com
mand democratic votes, its defeat fol-
lowed, says the Washington Post There
lore, FOR number of years. our 1000. 0O0
OF Filipino wards have been carrying
a grievous burden, one-third of which
would have been thrown of If demo-
cratic senators had said the word.
Should another such opportunity occur
and there are indications that it will.
may we look for a repetition of that
sample of democratic policy?
An attempt was made to justify the re-
fusal of democratic senators to join
q republican minority in voting relief
TO the Filipinos on the ground that those
democratic statesmen could not consist

unconstitutional. This was simply set

COLOR SCHEME IN DRESS.
Every Girl Nowadays Is Symphony
of Some Sort in the Mat
ter of Color.

What is your color scheme this sea
son? Are you study In brown or a
study in scarlet? Are you a melody in
yellow or a symphony in green? Are
you a white cloud or black shadow &?
Are you poem in purple or song in
cerise?
Every girl is nowadays a symphony
OF some sort, say an authority on dress.
She does not necessarily cling to one
shade as she did last season, but she
runs in little crescendos of color from
a deep base violet skirt to thrill OF
light lilac in her hat; from a wine
colored frock to a delicate pink rose
in her bonnet.
The pretty woman who wishes to be
prettier and the plain woman who likes
to look less plain will first match her
eyes. Are they brown? Then her
frock or her walking sui is OF brown,
and it's accessories may run from that
shade into all the burnt things-to-
mato, onion, olive-and from there on
into lemon or cream. Are her eyes
violet? Then let her try violet vel
vet gown, with the corresponding
shades OF lavender and blue-white.
Are they blue? Nothing will bring out
their color like a suit of military blue.
Is she the red-headed girl with the
green eyes? Then let her be a SYM
phony in sage-green.
A black-eyed girl never looks so
stunning as in black and a Sray-eyed
girl looks her best in white. The gray
eyed girl is the only one who does
not look prettiest when she matches
her eyes exactly. But. after all, gray
is mixture of blue and white, and
there is nothing more becoming to her
than delicate blue and white.
Some women dress all their lives
long in favorite color or shade which
