Expect to Benefit Anyway.

The point is, that Mr.. Bryan and his fol-
lowers expect to benefit whichever way
the situation results; they think they will
'tcatch the republicans coming and going.
In other words, if Congress gives half
hearted bill, the democrats will claim that
they must be invested with the power to
make the reform complete. If Congress
denies relief the democrats Will INSIST that
by all means the only relief for the country
will be found in democratic control
The question is being asked, what has
become of the gold democrats and thelr or
CaniZat ton? The main strength of the goid
democrats up to the last campaign was IN
the Indiana organization. The gold demo
cratic movement originated in Indianapolis
and Indiana money has furnished the pulh
of the campaign fund. In the last cam
paign their organization went completely
to smash and their votes were divided be-
tween Roosevelt and Parker
1t is not believed however, that the radl-
cal democratic party could command the
support of the gold democrats to the poll
cies indorsed by Bryan, Dunno ana Hearst
and the republicans are confidently depend,
ing upon re-enlisting the aid of their Ole

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY
It's Campaign Now Being
Recognized.
LEADING POLITICIANS
PROSECUTING IT VIGOROUSLY IN
RECENT MONTHS.
Panama Railway and Steamship Lines
Cited as Example of Govern
ment Ownership.

Democratic politicians are beginning to
take cognizance of the pogress of the cam
paign for social democracy which some OF
their leaders have been prosecuting rather
vigorously in recent months. Mr.. Bryan
Mr. Hearst and Mr.. Dunno are getting "a
rise nearly every day out of the demo-
Gratis of some quarter and are furnishing
subject of real interest for the politicians.
Luck is certainly playing into the hands
of the movers for social democracy, the
politicians say. Could Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Dunno want more, it is asked, than the
spectacle of the republican administration
demanding federal control of railroad rates
from Congress and putting into practical
operation large scale the theory Oh
federal ownership of transportation facill-
ties, as is being done with the Panama rail-
way and steamship lines?
To be sure, these two policies, one de-
sired and the other effected by the repuoll-
cans, are conservative applications OF
theories which the socialist democrats
would carry to excess.
Claim of the Leaders.
But will not Mr.. Bryan, and Mr.. Dunno
and Mr. Hearst, 1t is asked, claim that the
republicans admit the theory but deny the
complete application, and that II the peo-
Die want to get the Iull DtileIit VI liS nv"
policies they must "go the whole hog WIN
the democrats? How effective Will that
argument be with the unthinking and with
the masses who are being aroused by the
cleverIy managed campaign against trusts
and corporations? These are questions that
are being asked by politicians.
There is every indication that the radical
wing of the democracy is going lickety-
split with Messrs. Bryan, Dunno ana
Hearst for the new fad of government ana
municipal ownership. The conservative
democratic leaders in private conversation
admit that their hold on the organization
has been weakened by the crushing deieat
of Judge Parker. under the auspices OF tiis
conservatives. They do not expect to eS-
ert any influence at all in the next uatloliai
convention They think that the radlca! IS
will be able to completely dominate the
convention and control the platform. -
They think that the radical leaders VIII
be able to build up sentiment IN the next
two or three years among the socialist eie-
uents of the country that will send to the
next democratic convention delegates from
the industrial centers of all the eastern
states favorable to the program OF Messfs.
BRYAN Hearst and Dunno. They fear tIat
if Congress should fail to give President
Roosevelt the full measure of control OF
railroad rates demanded by him the propa-

In fact, President Roosevelt stated mere

no strong power should ever be able 10
single us out as a subject for insOlent ag-
gressiOn.
Our relations with the other powers Of
the world are important; but still more
important are our relations among our
selves. Such growth in wealth. in popula-
ton and in power as this nation has seen
during the century and a quarter Of its
national life is inevitably accompanied by
like growth ia the problems which are
ever before every nation that rises to
greatness.
Yet. after all, though the problems are
new. though the tasks set before us differ
from the tasks set before our fathers. the
spirit in which these tasks must be un-
dertaken and these problems faced, if our
duty Is to be well done, remains essen
TALLY unchanged. We know that self
government is difficult We know that no
people needs such high traits of character
as that people which seeks to govern its
affairs Alright through the freely expressed
viii of the freemen who compose it. But
we have faith that we shall not prove
false to the memories Of the men Of the
mighty past. They did their work, they
left us the splendid heritage which we
now enjoy. We I'm our turn have an as
sured confidence that we shall be able to
leave this heritage unwasted and en-
larged to our children and our children S
children TO 90 so we must snow, not
merely in great crises but in the every
day affairs of life, the qualities of prac-
teal intelligence, Of courage, Of hardi-
hood and endurance. and above all the
power and devotion to lofty ideal, which
made great the men who founded this re-
public in the days of Washington, which
made great the men who preserved this
republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln
The parade was one of the most
imposing spectacles ever witnessed in
this country. Lieutenant General
Chaffee was chief marshal. President
Roosevelt and the official party re-
viewed the procession. which was sew
eral hours in passing the stand. Dele
cations were in lire from nearly every
state in the union and from every one
of the insular possessions. The Philip

TWO MEN CONFESS MyRDEr

Beat Crippled Girl lnsensible and
Threw Her Into Stable Pit
Philadelphia, March 1.-Two men
who have been under arrest for three
weeks on charges of robbery confessed
to the murder of Miss Clara McGOn-
nell a cripple, whose body was found
on February 13 in a refuse pit in the
stable yard of the Union Transfer
company. One of the men is Harry
Norris, who was arrested at the Penn
sylvania railroad station charged with
stealing overcoats. The police decline
at present to make public the name of
the second prisoner, as they expect
to connect him with another crime
which they are now investigating.
According TO Superintendent of PO-
lice Taylor. the men met Miss Nc
Gonnell on the street while she was
intoxicated They furnished her with
drinks from a flask and inveigled her
into a side street after learning that
she had S1l in her stocking. Being
unable to secure the money in any
other way, they attacked her and beat
her into insensibility and then took
the money. Believing they had killed
the woman, they carried her to the
stable and threw her into the pit.
Whether she died from the effects of
their blows or was smothered in the
refuse pit will be determined by the
coroner's inquest
