HOME AGAIN

Mr.. Joseph Imbach, the ice-man
who with his good wife went to Ger
many some weeks ago to visit his old
home and mother has returned and
says he never expects to see the Faith
erland again. He left there before he
had served his required time in the
army and was called to account there
for. He says the officer was most surly
and impolite until he laid down his
naturalization paper with Uncle Sans
seal thereon. Then the manner of the
office was entirely changed. With a
low bow to the sovereign citizen of
the United States he babe him well
come and expressed himself as glad
the old country had not be,n forgotten.
MIR. Imbach has always beeen an en-
thusiastic American and comes back
not only well pleased with his trip but
prouder than ever of his citizenship.
His mother who is seventy-six years
o greatly enjoyed seeing her son.

Congressman eGrosvener says Sen a
tor Foraker saved the Ohio Legislature
to the Republicans. If one majority for
the Democrats in the Senate and a
possible majority of one Republican
in the House is the best Foraker can
do when he acts as the life guard for
his party he wild hardly be called upon
to do the ifesaving act in future. The
fact is that Foraker is wounded po-
Iitical duck Hopping on top ofthe tur-
bid waters of the Ohio political pond
His opposition to the Roosevelt plan
for railroad rate legislation has eflec-
tually removed all chances for his po-
litical resuseitation. His fire alarm
may perhaps again disturb the reform
air but it will only be to call the old
corrupt Iguard to his political obse-
quies when Grosvenorcan act as chief
mourner with more than an even
chance of similar fate.

All that Tom Lawson has described
in "Frenzied Finance" about the cor
rupt condition of the Life Insurance
companies is more than verified by the
evidence produced in the inquisition
now going on in New York. Republi-
can leaders and campaign fund pa0-
Viders are shown to have been the chief
recipients and instigators of the plum
dering of the trust funds and branch
of trust and diversion of funds are
mild charges to tie to them. Inferen-
TALLY the evidence produced forces the
conviction that Mr.. Laws0n's expos
IRE of those other Republican campaign
providers, known as the Standard Oil
crowd, is mild compared to the real
facts, if all that is known could be told
1t is significant that none of those ac-
cused dare do more than make gen.
eral denial az those who were plum
dering the life insurance companies did

The future is bright for Democracy,
the plain people are again rallying
around the. banner that stands for
equal rights to all and special privil-
eyes to none" The Republican party
machine is lettering from the divided
councils that exist in its management.
The large Republicansmajority in both
houses of Congress. is source of weak
ness for the members are divided on
l he most important issues that tn
people are demanding to be settled.
Whatever Congress may do is bound
to redound,to the benefit of the Demo-
Gratis. If thesparty I'M power compro-
mises with the railroads, the fight for
just rates andsequal.rights to the little
and bigsshoppers is bound to continue.
The Democrats will appeal to the
country forsequal.rights to all and au-
thority from the people to control the
corporations instead of the railroad
and trust barOns controlling the cOun-
try.
If those Republicans in Congress
who standj back iof President Roose-
welt, joined with the Democrats, can
control legislation to curb the corpora
tons and trusts, there will be spl
in the ranks sof sthe tRepublican ma
chine similarto the division on the re

be remembered that the Republicans
