Equal Rights to All,

1t must be taken for granted that every Democrat
would like to another president elected who be
eve in the good old Jefersonlan doctrine of equal
rights all and special privileges none" No
one hut Democrats their political faith on that
comprehensive declaration. To Republicans of to-
day it must be incomprehensible that any political
party should demand equal rights to all " for tha /
would abolish the tariff schedules that foster and
protect the trusts; it would compel the wealthy to
pay taxes according to their incomes and property
it would abolish sumptuary legislation ana implies
freedom from restraint in every way that would
interfere witch the welfare of Others. Special privl-
eges to none" would abolish nearly all the IegeIa-
tion that tae Republican party has enacted that has
fostered trusts and corporations; that has favored
national banks; that has benefited capital the ex
pense of labor; that without representation
that fayor7 subsidies; that has created sectional
strife and usurpsd executive powers unknown to the
constitution.
To Democrats all such granting of unequal rights
and special privileges is crime against the eople
1t hae been accomplished hy corrupung electione
with the campaign funds contributed by those who
have benefited by such special privilege
To overthrow such corrupt system Of faydritism is
incentive enough TO arouse every honest voter and
will certainly unite Den ocrats that end. Trust
high prices and the increasing cost Of living should
lead Republicans to join with the Democrats in re-
forming the tariff and other abuses that hut few any
longer deny as existing.
The southern states have especially suffered from
this Republican system Of fostering special interests
which doubt leads To the demand for candidate
from the south for the Democratic nomination for
president. Nearly every southern statss urging its
favoIite aud the solid south is the citadel Of
Democracy, it cannot be gainsaid these prospective
candidates entitled to the consideration
of Democrats everywhere and If it can be shown that

Automobile Hazards.

We read, with much regret last week, of the accl-
dental death of two brothers OF high standing, in an
automobile collision in Cincinnati 1t ie indeed de-
plorable that such accidents should happen, but
whose fault is it, Who courted death and who got
what they sought2 The two gentlemen asked the
driver speed forward to catch another auto, aud
that they would pay the fine if arrested for speed
ling. The driver pushed forward to the full epeed

the machine. He not hurt much, but the driver
"swished" the machine to avoid him, and crashed
into telephone pole He severely hurt, and
the sporty brothers were instantly killed.

lives of passers by just for fool hardy sport, and re-

Don't You Bet on Taft.

Indeed year is u long while to have the pins for
the presidency of great republic up and all stay
up.
Peter Carroll, who usually has pretty good idea
about how political matters going to turn out has
made a considerable sized bet that but Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be nominated by the Republicans
next summer for the presidency,
He has made another bet that both Roosevelt and
Bryan will be nominated. Bryan of course by the
Democrats
There are go very many things likely to happen in
a twelve month to blow down the fences of Mr..
William Howard Taft, that it is at all eafe to
him
1t appears, after all, when it is all smmered down
that about all there is Iat's boom notwthst tand-
ing the fact that he is undoubtedly great man, is
the fact that he is believed universally to be the
choice of Mr.. Roosevelt.
just figure for moment on the theory of poss:-
biliues. How many things might happen in year
to knock out all that.
Roosevelt is in office and he is very strenuous.
He might make serious mistake which would
make him UNPOPULAR that his support of any man
might be decided handicap.
Roosevelt might die In that the man he
supports might not be strong.
Taft himself may make some serious mistake,
some slip which would knock him out Of the posei
biIltlee
Then there possibilities that after all Taft
may not be able to line up things in Ohio although
it now looks pretty strong for him here in his own
state.

As the birth anniversary Of our nation approaches,
the store windows filing with displays of various
kinds of fireworks, and the veltsing columns Of
the newspapers are setting forth the gloriee possible

will be quickly followed by items of more less
length telling of the damages to life, limb and prop

gathering in the store things, " the provident moth
and the far.seeng surgeon are laying in supplies
of kind that will be needed to bring together the
mutilated and scattered parts of the enthusiastic
boy who dares the most in the noisy celebration.
Thousands of dollars will be wasted many accidents
Will happen, and much property will be damaged or
destroyed by tie of the deadly explosives so
freely indulged in by both young and old Fer the
few minutes of fuss and fzae, together with the
glare of coIored fire, many ispared dollar will
go from the family purse. If anything good came of
it, it ight be endured but it is than money
