more intimately connected with the tariff question and the railroad ques- tion. it can hradly fail to attract a large share of public attention next year. The contest between predatory wealth on the one side and the unor- ganized masses on the other cannot be put of. although it is impossible to say in just what form the issue will present itself.
 The young man who is seeking to use his influence for the promotion of the welfare of the common people will find the democratic party the best organization through which to act. It is not perfect in its personnel but perfection Is not to be expected among men. It may not go as far :ss all reformers wish. but it is going in the right direction 1t may be more 
 radical than some conservatives would like to have il but d reasonable radi- calism is necessary if more extreme radicalism is to be avoided. The indi, cations are that in 1908 the party will be able to add to those who have supported it a large number who rec ognize the necessity of remedial legis, lation fashioned according to demo cratic principles. It is not the party of any class or section of the country. It appeals 10 rich and pCo~ alike and promises to secure as far as it car justice to all.

 Kansas City democratic club wro,e to the commoner, Mr. Bryan's paper. asking for some of the reasons whiss>can be given by democrats for The support of their partys position. and the following was printed in tho Conmoner iu response:
 FIrst-The democratic party be Aeves in the theory of government set forth in the declaration of indepenG- snce, namely. that governments de rive their just powers from the con sent of the governed. The party was formed by Thomas Jefferson, the au- thor of the GecIration of independence, and has ever borne the impress of hjc personality.
 While all parties have until recent years to a greater or less extent giv- e0 adherence to the doctrines set forth in the declaration of independence, Ehe democratic party has differed rom the parties which have opposed II in that it has emphasized the fact, that the representative is the servant <s his constituents. while the parties that take their inspiration from Aie=- ander Hamilton regard the represeu- tstive as more or less independent Of his. constituents. It makes great dcsl of difference whether thc public official recognizes it Gs his duty to give expression to he wishe sof those who elected him CT considers himsel, a sort CT superior being elected to act for the people but not to be controlled by them. TEe official who assumes the right to disregard the wishes of those EaEho elect him strikes at the very foun- zs1ation Of popular government
 Second-The democratic party be- LcTes in the iualienabIe rights of the Individual and zeaiously guards those rights from infringement. There are individual rights sac.ed from the touch even Of the majority. as for ins:ance. the right to life. liberty and ID 4hc pursuit of happiness. and he amendments to the constitution have named freedom of speech freedom of the press and freedom of the con scienco as necessary to the preserva- sion of the inalienabic rights of man.
 Third-The democratic party is the champion of local ses-goyernment. believing that thas government is best which fs nearest to the people and flat the people can act most sla1eiii zently. upon the subjects. with which they are most familiar
