HOPE FOR DEMOCRATS.

HOPE FOR DEMOCRATS.
 The life insurance investigation has given the people of the country an insight into the manner in which the Republican party has been keeping its coffers filled with money to over flowing during the past decade. Fifty thousan dpaid per year by the New York Life Insurance Company to the national Republican committee and ten thousand year as a contribution of the Equitable company to Senator Platt's Republican machine in New York It was high time the people of the United States were turning against the ringsters and grafters. If the life insurance companies have been held up by the Republican lead CTS for such contributions, who could estimate the amount of money which has been shOyeled into the Repubn- can coffers by the railroads and trusts of the country? These combinations of trusts have been taught by the Republican party that money makes
 
 teachings they do not hesitate to in- wade the national and state law mak- ing bodies to forestall the passage of laws which would stop the present oppression of the people by their un- heard of freight rates and their com bfnations to stifie competition in al- most every line of industry.
 It remains to be seen just how far these contributors to the Republican campaign funds win allow President Roosevelt to keep his word in prom ised reformatory legislation MT Roosevelt may have honest intentions, but the Republican eladers who are in control of the senate have been Ncaught with the goods" too many times for the people to longer have any confidence in them, and when the trusts call a halt MT. Roosevelt will be powerless to make good.
 There is only one hope to change the conditions of the government, and that is to supplant the present powers by the election of a Democratic con gress and a Democratic president, which will put a stop to the present graft system. We believe the people are now turning away from the party which has nurtured and protected the trusts and which is powerless to now control. them if there was a disposi. tion to do so. The president is now advocating many of the reform meas dres proposed by MT. Bryan when he was being denounced as a dynamitel and agitator from every Republican stump and in the columns of every Republican newspaper MT. Roose welt will not be able to carry any O his promises into effect. The presen congress will most likely demonstrate this fact by some kind of a compro mise on the railroad rate regulation which will be suggested by the rail road companies and which will b. harmless to their present system O favoritism to those who have driver competition from trade and manufaC lure
 As Roosevelt backs away from tn things which he has proposed as remedy for the preesnt rule of none the Democrats will have the oppo tunity to force the fighting with ever hope of victory in the next congress ional election and land a Democrat i the White House in 1908.
 We expect to see the Democrat force the fighting during the congres which will meet next Monday. The must and will stand by the Presidel on every proposition which he su gests that if enacted into a law wou shove the millionaire cormorants ava from the national treasury, so tn the country may know just where place responsibility for any lack Remedial legislation which has bet So prefusely promised by the Repu lcan President.
 Democrats should take new couray from the results of the recent eIe tions, as they point to the fact tn the people are gradually getting the eyes open and making a correct dia nosis of the political ills of the cou try.
