in the earliest stages Of our national
history and include in their logical
ramifcations every policy that can
come before our people for legitimate
discussion and settlement. If, as a nat
ural corollary, they are supplemented
by the rigid, unremitting enforcement
OF the criminal law in both nation and
states, there is not much room for the
of outgrown customs, or for
new-fangled forms of hysteria and
humbug.

No Room for Sectionalism

derlie it's life.
No Room for Sectionalisn
So, too, there is altogether too much
talk about an eastern, western, a
southern or some other Democracy,
when the essence of the party is its
national character and the entire alb
sence of sectional features. The con-
troll of the party machine in one city
or another, in this or that state, or
even in the country, is not a matter
either important or interesting to the
great body Of Democrats.
In like manner we shall not, If we are
sensible, try to revive or perpetuate
old ways of keeping the party small,
or to devise new ones for driving
Democrats away from us. Whether the
millionaire or the humblest workman
just beginning his upward climb, whe-
ther native or foreign born, whoever
they may be, or wherever they may
come from, they are moved by about
the same human impulses and so we
do not have to adopt a special set of
principles for each. We shall not re-
ject the man who has been a Populist,
or Socialist, but he must come as a
Democrat. We can even welcome, in
each recurring campaign, the man
who, in the preceding contest, had set
up his little Republican annex, but he,
too, must come with fruits meet Cor
repentance. While we like the prodicai
son. our herd of fatted calves is not in
finite in number.
The Kind of Organization Needed
1 would not for a moment convey an
impression that organization is not I'M
portant. 1t is even more-it is vital. if
we are to give effect to the principles
and policies which buttress our party
faith. But, however necessary and
vital, it may be useless-a mere empty
bauble-if it is viewed as the end rather
than the means. We are confronted
by forces which, when not purely per-
sonal. are almost wholly mechanical.
They are represented by party, we'll
managed, indeed, in that two-thirds of
the Union to which it restricts its
activities. 1t has everything that pat
ronage can suggest or imply. In re-
turn for favors received it sells to the
highest bidder or freely gives the
powers of government. Nothing that
the ingenuity of monopoly can sug-
gest, as within its scope or interest, is
withheld.
On the other hand we cannot deal
with a trust or a self-seeking class.
We neither have nor can acquire the
things they want, and we can say with
truth that when in power we have re-
fused even to consider them as a pos
sible asset 1t may be an element of
weakness, but we have never developed
the faculty of purchasing votes in
gross by turning over to chosen agents
powers belonging to the people.
With us, then, organization, to be
effective, must lie in the state, the
county and the district. By the very
necessity of our principles and our ex-
istence, we must protect the rights and
promote the interests of communities
and carry up into federal politics only
that reserve of power properly incident
to our institutions and system of gov
ernment. The ambitions we must
fosterer are infinite in number and
variety. All our later history has
shown that 1t is far more important
for us to have our full share Of gov
ernors, legislatures. senators, members
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-14

Inc Future Hoiicy OF tne Farty
When analysed, the Democratic
party in all its past history, has been
true TO a few general ideas and poll
cies. They may be enumerated as fol-
lows:
IA strict Interpretation of the con-
stitution which implies resistance to
Capitalization by the federal govern
ment because 1t is opposed to the fun
damental idea of our system Of popu-
lar government and for the further
reason that all human experience shows
that that way danger lies.
2-The levy of import duties and
other interests of all our people wheth-
er producers or consumers, whether
manufacturers. farmers or workmen.
and always at rates which, while just
TO all. shall be essentially revenue
producing. thus eliminating monopoly
and favoritism.
3-Constant, unremitting attention to
honest, economical expenditures Of the
taxes collected from the people; and
4-Non-interference in the political
fairs OF other nations. thus making en-
tangling alliances as impossible as
they ars undesirable and un-Ameri-
can.
These ideas are as vital as they were

To remove a rusty screw, apply
a red hot iron to the head, and use
the screw driver while it is still

A little slackened lime scattered in

shoes will make them practically

Common baking soda dissolved in

Niddletown. N. Y, Oct. 25.-By the
alleged confession of Charles Boos, IN
til a few days ago superintendent of
the Waikiki Transit company lines in
Orange county, a spectacular police
mystery has been solved. According
to the police he admitted to them that
he had robbed one of the largest de-
partment stores In the city, besides
several residences, in the last few
months.
Boos is regarded as a modern social
highwayman. He drew q large salary
as superintendent of the big transit
corporation and lived in great style In
apartments in one of the best streets
in the city. He raj popular in society
and dressed in the latest fashion. He
was apparently n of the busiest men
in town, had no time for anything but
his work and seemed an exemplary
man of business.
