And now the President Is at logger
heads with the democratic leaders of
the Senate who have been his main
stay In his fight for railway regula-
tion. Senator Tillman and Bailey ac-
cuse him of breaking faith with them
and SO does ex-senator Chandler, the
Republican go-between. The Allison
compromise amendment which makes
the bill acceptable to Aldrich, Elkins
and other railroad and corporation
senators who have all along been fight
Ing 1t, Is the cause of the trouble and
leads many of the Presidents friends
outside of his own party to believe
that he has changed front on this sub
ject as he did on the tariff and other
matters. He is now calling Mr.. Chan
dler liar as he did Judge Parker in
the campaign of 1904, but develop
ments since have proven that the
democratic nominee for President was
absolutely correct in charging the
corporations with contributing to the
republican fund. Teddy is good

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY

Who can entertain a doubt that
Theodore Roosevelt is q stand patter
and has been INDUCING In the game
Of politics, pretenston, bluff, simply
to make showing? Study his record
and judge the man thereby. Senator
Quarles was the standpat candidate
to succeed himself as United States
senator from state of Wisconsin and
was beaten by Robert M. LaFollette
by an overwhelming majority, but
Mr.. Roosevelt appointed Senator
QuarleS to a position on the United
States District Bench. And Mr.. Roo
sevelt has been appointing standrat
ters to office in the state of Wisconsin
In spite of the protests of Senator La
Toilette. Again, what has been done
to revise the tariff, in the interest of
the people? Nothing. Standpat has
been the watchword. And just look
at recent developments touching rail-
road rates. Is there any doubt that
Mr.. Roosevelt has emulated the
example of Ananiss, and that he has
been playing double game, but all
the time at heart in favor of the
system or money power? Or is he by
nature unstable, tickle and therefore
unreliable? Not only democrats, but
respectable minority of republicans
are beginning to doubt him. Clay ton
County Democrat.

Choosing Senators In Primaries.
The recent primaries held all over the
state Of Tennessee on the same day for
the purpose Of selecting the Democrat
10 candidate for the United States SEN
ate will meet with the Endorsement Of
the rank and file Of the party every
whore. Many regret Carmack's defeat,
but the plan Is all right, for It's the
peoples plan. A few weeks ago Arkan-
sas made use Of the same method. II
some Of the northern and eastern states
would do the same there would be few
er railroad senators" occupying curule
chairs.
It Il only matter Of few years
when all Of the states In which the
Democrats are usually successful will
be choosing their senatorial candidates
In this manner. Some of the Republic
an states that are not irrevocably in
the hands Of the great corporations will
follow suit. It is plan to which no
candidate can object unless he is APP
prehsnsive Of the adverse judgment Of
the people as to his fitness. If Democ-
racy stands for any one great principle
OF popular rule more than for another,
It 10 the rule that each man shall have
. voice, and an equal voice. in all ques-
lions arising In the party, and that a
clear majority shall determine each
question. Ever since the first congress
held its deliberations it has been grow
Ing more and more apparent that those
legislators render the most faithful
service who can be most directly held
accountable to the masses Of the vot-
ers. Where dependent upon a few
votes for their reelection, that few
may be fooled, cajoled or otherwise In
nuenced, but the great masses of the
electorate can only be reached through
honest and earnest administration Of
ONCE.
The general primary, whether for the
selection Of representatives, senators,
governors or constables, Is the best,
the cheapest, the hardest to manipu-
late. the most satisfactory. It prevents
bolts and party splits and always
makes It certain that the party princi-
PIE Of majority rule shall remain in
tact. When that rule becomes dead
letter, then the Democratic party has
lest one Of It's best reasons for being.
II 1t 10 to continue to be the party Of
the people, then 1t must afford every
opportunity for the voice Of the people
to be paramount.

LETTER

comfortable every time they
think of Mr.. Speaker Cannon or
BEE his name or picture in paper or

for alarm. The presidential stock of
Uncle Joe goes higher every day. He
capsrs about as nimbly as two-year-
old thoroughbred, attends to his oner-
GUS duties with great regularity, is
present at all public functions of note,
and his popularity grows apace. The
dinner which he gave at Wizards,
which brought together more notables
than ever before ate speakers din
ner, and the birthday party which the
house Of representatives gave him
without reference to party lines and
which brought the entire Washington
political world together, were amazing
testimonials to the esteem in which
Uncle Joe is held.

of eloquence suggested that the speak
or might be president and the house

there was no harm In feeling the pulse

there can be no question. His rugged
character, his unquestioned honesty, his
long experience. his bonhomme, his Free

contribute to his remarkable status.
Talk to his admirers about his seventy
years and they grin in your face. The
invariable reply IL that he's good for

to tell, he acts more like man Of fifty
than one Of threescore and ten. Sug-

Burleson Of Texas.

Happy the man who can make q

up In Massachusetts. In speech there
he said, 1.-THE way to revise the tariff is
to revise congress-" That's clear and
strong. It needs no diagram to explain
it. and is an entire speech, and rafting
good one at that in one short, terse SEN
tence. 1t IL equal to Horace Greeley's.
The way to resume is to resume"
The American people are apt to con-
clude that Burleson is right. Surely
they are weary Of dillydallying, shilly-

filing. If the makers Of the Demo
cratic campaign book do not devote
one whole page to Burleson's epigram
they will not be doing their duty.
