Hairs of Cnterpillars.

Several kinds Of hairy caterpillars are
known to have a poisonous effect Oh

because the caterpillars march In pro-

Reaumur found that this caterpillar's

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because OF lack
Of food, but because the iood
loes not feed.

MR.. COCHRAN AS 4 JOKER.

If the sOrdid comedy of the political auc-
ton just concluded at Buffalo had not other
wise been Overamply emphasized, the platform
adopted by the Democratic convention would
have furnished the final touch. The prepare
ton of that instrument was intrusted TO n
gifted and practsed political humorist The
Hon. Charles F. Murphy was too busy sand
bagging anti-Hearst delegates and playing out
his little game of sUangers-once- but brothers
now with the Sullivans TO bother about a mere
statement of party principles. That task he
passed over TO the Hon. Bourke Cockran-the
Wigwams famous Orator Puff, who by long
training has learned to express one conviction
in many voices and to adjust many convictions
10 one voice Mr.. Cochran seems 10 have had
a clear field in the committee on resolutions, Of
which he was chairman; for most Of the other
delegates thought, apparently, that If the con-
vention was TO nominate man who had al
ready constructed his own platform any note
of explanation TO the bill of sale was a wholly
superfuous appendix. But as Senator Pettus
remarked on memorable occasion, you can't
keep an Orator down.; and Mr.. Cochran having
time and opportunity, proceeded TO do a num-
Der OF wyOu-see-itand-now-you -don't-see II

KNOTS IN the political garments with which Mr.
Hearst was about to walk away
MI Cockrans performance must excite the
admiration Of every one who appreciates ar
nsdc legerdemain. Only last winter in Tam

bearer. It was only courtesy to announce that
It would follow him a certain distance along
the path Of state socialism. 1t would admit
that the government had right to control
and ought to control, all public agencies and
utilities. such as railways, telegraphs telephones
the supply of gas and electricity and every other
enterprise involving public functions. But on
the other hand, it would balk at any govern
mental interference in the field of private In
dustry," and as for socialism," the very word
was call TO battle to every old fashioned JEFF
fersonian
Afr. Hearst will doubtless appreciate the
subtlety Of Mr.. Coclran's humor when he reads
in the Democratic platform such undiluted JEFF
fersonianism as this:
Every proposal that municipality assume
operation of all public utilities and reduce rates
to persons using them. regardless OF what the
service may actually cost, is attempt to
force some men to bear the expenses Of Others
because where the outlay for operation exceeds
earnings the deficit must be made up by taxa
ton. and this would be socialistic. and there
fore hostile to justice and subversive of demo-
cratic government.
Or again:
We denounce the socialism which seeks to
make government the sole agent of production
as nothing less than a proposal to re-establlsh
the institution of tyranny and industrial slavery
which perishes before the advance Of Christian
civilization. For the very essence Of despotism
Is to vest in the state absolute control of all in
ucts; while the essence of democracy is to con-
firm IN every man the right to dispose Of his own
labor and possess in peace everything produced
by It.
Realizing every socalstic proposal-however
disguised under sonorous and misleading phrases
to be a step leading inevitably toward the re-
establishment of despotsm in government and
servitude IN labor, the Democratic party must
always be vigtlant in unmasking it and infiexi-
BILE in opposing 1t.
These phrases havt familiar sound, and the
Democratic candidate for Governor will find, If
he traces them back, that they figured in the
famous Tammany ant-Hearst manifesto Of last
March, written by Mr.. Cochran himself.
Mr.. Cochran as Hearst'S advocate plagiarizes
from Mr.. Cochran as Hearst's prosecutor. And
It may be some comfort to THE World" to find
that its pleadings and wrestlings for the pres
ervation of true Democratic doctrine have not
been in vain, for the very phrases which it ex-
plotted In blackface type as the core of Demo
cratic truth are now securely written into the
platform on which Mr.. Hearst stands-or is
supposed to stand.
Is supposed to stand! Yes, there's the rub.
For who can tell how far Mr.. Cochran intended
to carry his little joke.
