fuential portion of our countrymen, he
said:
of there be one principle more
deeply rooted than another in the mind
of every American it is that we should
have nothing to do with conquest. and
at another time he said: Conquest is
not in our principles; 1t is inconsistent
with our government
"On the subject of taxation he even
insisted upon it's limitation to the
actual needs of government and upon
its equitable distribution. He Is on
disputes between nations, and no one
who is familiar with his writings can
doubt that he would favor arbitration
today of disputes between labor and
capital and his views upon the en-
croachments of the judiciary and the
value of trial by jury make it certain
that he would, if living, oppose what
we know as government by injunction.
"All his arguments in favor of MAX
ing the government responsive to the
will of the people can be adduced in
support of the movement that has for
its object the election of senator's by
direct vote of the people. On the sub
ject of finance he not only favored BIZ
metallism but he expressed his opposi
tion to a bank currency and to the con-
troll of the national treasury by the
financiers.
He lived before the invention of the
railroad and before the country had
witnessed the colossal Capitalization
of wealth, but viewing as he did every
question from the standpoint of the
people and hating, as he did, every at
tempt to divert the profits of industry
from the producers to the idle holders
of Idle capital we have right to as
sumo that he would today stand with
the people for the regulation of rail-
roads and the determination of private
monopoly.
"Jefferson's love for mankind was
his controlling passion, and it ex-
tended to generations unborn. AS we
celebrate his meory on the anniver-
sary of his birth we can say as those
could say who lived when he did. We
love him because he first loved us.

WOMAN SHOT At
CRIPPLE CREEK
NEWSPAPER MANS WIFE DOES
THE DEED
JEALOUSY GIVEN AS CAUSE
Mrs. s. w. Vldler Finds Her Husband
In a Room With a Divorce,
and Instantly Kills Her
Rival
BY Assoclated Press.

BY Associated Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, April
13.-A special to the Telegraph from
Cripple Creek, Colo, says: Mrs. S. w.
Vidler, the wife of well known news
paper man, shot and instantly killed
Mrs. II. c. Douglass of Colorado Springs
in the National hotel this morning.
Jealousy is supposed to have been the
cause of the crime.
Mrs. Vider, who was very much ex-
cited, raped on the door of a room in
which were Mr.. Vidler and Mrs. Doug
lass. Mr. Vidler opened the door, His
wife entered and Immediately shot Mrs.
Douglass in the breast.
MIR. and Mrs. Vidler were arrested
They have three children, the oldest
II years of age, but have not been
living together of late.
After the shooting Mrs. Wider be-
came hysterical and bewailed her act.
She was released on a bond of $5000
No charge was made against her hus
band, and he was set free this after
noon.
Mr.. Wider claims that Mrs. Douglas
told him that she was born in Cal
cutta, India, was divorced wife and
had two children in New York She
was about 80 years old. She had lived
in Denver and Colorado Springs dur
ing the last eight months and had been
in Cripple Creek but few days.

Cal. My Dear Mr.. Cake-I have been
trying since last Saturday to so ar
range matters here as to permit me to
be with you on the thirteenth and adj
dress the Democrats Of Los Angeles,
but this pleasure is to be denied me.
My calendar for April is so full that
I do not now see how It will be pos
sible to take a couple Of days off in the
middle of a week, and on the thir-
teenth expect to be engaged In the
trial Of a damage suit which has been
set peremptorily for the eleventh.
This is a distinct disappointment to
me, for there is no body of Democrats
on this coast who make a braver fight
against greater odds than those of
Southern California.
The small successes which are occa-
sionally yours come as tribute to per-
sonal qualifications Of those whom you
advance as your representatives. The
greater successes will come when men
think more seriously upon the problems
which confront the American people.
We may feel faint hearted some
times when we contemplate the enorm-
Gus majority that the Republican party
received last November in the nation
and state, but it should not be with
out cheer to us that the principles for
which the Democratic party has stood
are now being taken up and fought for
by Republican leaders. The real put-
al
Is to convert public opinion into legis-
1ation and we can win sometimes
without getting office.
l believe that the next twenty-five
years are to be the most interesting I'm
the history of our country. We are
to meet and deal with questions quite
as vital as that of slavery We are to
find use for the largest minded, the
most farsighted. the wisest men of the
nation. ours is to be a day worth liv-
ing; and in that day there Is to be OPP
portunity for us all.
The man who has an idea which will
promote the interests Of our state or
bring happiness to any portion of our
people need not feel that because of his
allegiance to any one party he is
debarred from an opportunity to test
that idea The American people are
growing rapidly in the belief that no
one is more useless than the politician
and no one more necessary than the
statesman. 1 have that faith in the
ultimate intelligence of the whole peo-
pie as to believe that they will accept
the philosophy of Thomas Jefferson as
the frame work of the policies which
we shall adopt. 1t is noteworthy that
no man is today beloved by the Ameri-
can people who has not appreciated,
advocated and expressed in legislative
or execuetive politics the political
faith and philosophy of him whom we
honor as the father of the Democratic
party

Thomas Jefferson, but they should be
intelligent. Jefferson was the father
of the present system of public schools.
He had to fight prejudice and prece-
dence to secure the education of the
poor mans child, but he won.
"Take from the history and life of
| the nation the acts of Thomas Jeffer-
son, and what have you left? Take
from us Thomas Jefferson and what he
did and our great nation would occupy
a secondary place in the world, instead
of its exalted position.
"As for me 1 would rather be an
humble disciple of Jefferson and the
great truths he taught than to occupy
the finest mansion in the land obtained
through wrecking the lives and for
tunes of my fellow men,"
"The Saturnalia of Undemocracy"
was the subject chosen by John w.
Mitchell, and he was given an oVa-
tion as he arose to speak.

Roosevelt which gave him the over
whelming majority he received at the
last election. He is Democratic in
spirit and can go down among the
people, but his party turns him down
whenever he seeks to invoke Demo-
cratic legislation.
HE believes in a reduction of the
tariff; so does the Democratic party.
He believes in the regulation of the
railroads and interstate commerce; so
does the Democratic party But he
can do nothing, for his party is against
such action and the Republican con-
gress refuses to act on his recommen-
dations.

istration but the Republican wave
swept it out of existence, and we now
have a Republican in the cracked
tower of the city hall, and he is vir-

Gratis who go to the polls and preserve
their party organization for the sake
of the principles involved"
DR.. d. w. Edeman, Henry w. Mes
bit and Amary Mars, who brought the
tribute of the French people to Jeffer-
son, were the other speakers of the
evening.
The banqueters adjourned with the
singing of 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner."
Letters received by the chairman of
the banquet, Capt George M. Cake,
from noted party leaders were as fol-
