kkHEAvEN help us If Taft is elect

President Roosevelt. Heaven help

editor, Taft has not Roosevelt's back
bone, and a man of backbone will be
needed during the next four years.
Nothing is more clearly demonstrated
during this earliest stage OF the CAM
paign than the abject terror with
which Republicans and sympathizers
with "Rooseveltism" view the passing
of Teddy. Col. Roosevelt comes nearer
to being a military and political hero
than any man of modern times. Al
though he never had to work for a
living, that was not his fault. and he
has worked much harder than many
men who have been born among the
toiling classes. OF course the peculiar
immunity a man in Roosevelt's posi-
ton enjoys is that he lives under a
condition wherein he is without fear
of starvation, without the personal
and family worry incidental to ecram-
bling for living, and therefore has
most signal and extraordinary adj
vantage over any equally gifted,
brainy or cultivated man who drags
lifelong PERJURY at his hating heel.

TARIFF REFORM

n NE of the grosser misstatements
- of the Republican platform is
" that the Democratic party stands
for free trade, the Republican party
for protection. The Democratic party
stands for tariff reform, not free trade.
It sees that a material reduction of the
tariff is necessary for the prosperity
of the United States. 1t does not pro-
pose the abolition of the custom house.
This part Of the Republican platform
is characteristically insincere and mis-
leading. Besides, it has that irritat-
ing schoolboy ring which makes the
entire platform read like the pro-
duction Of an amateur debating So
ciety in Podunk. Democratic tariff re-
vision will substitute a fair tariff for
one which is notoriously unfair. 1t
will replace by conscientious sched-
ule one which is constituencies. Tariff,
like everything else in America, If we
are to "play the game according to
the rules" and to be really the United
States and not a nondescript substi-
tute, must have for its ONLY aim the
esta blishment and maintenance of con-
ditions which will bring about the
greatest good for the greatest number.
To this aim every American govern
ment is committed. BY this must the
achievement of every government be
measured. Now, has the Republican
government been a successful Ameri-
can government? Has it produced 1.-THE
greatest good for the greatest num-
ber?" AT the end Of its long reign Of
power can 1t point with pride to con-
tented country? Let the figures which
tell the tale Of the unprecedented
growth of Socialism be the reply. And
there is no Republican Gladstone to
"explain them away"

HATERS OF REFORM

nEPUBLICANS hate reform as Old
n. Nicholas hates holy water. When
~ the word was first used in connec-
ton with the policies of President
Roosevelt they consoled themselves by
singing a diabolized snatch Of an old
hymn:
Well stand the storm; our craft is strong:
We'll anchor by and bye;
Well stand REFORM it won't be long
Till the days OF political pie.
Owing to the influence of the forceful
personality of Roosevelt some reforms
were proposed and encouraged. A few
Abe Lincoln Republicans, admirers
and followers of the most radical and
revolutionary president in American
history, ventured to suggest that Re-
publican leaders should put reform into
the platform and give the grand old
prejudiced weaklings who shuddered
and shivered and shook and howled
when Lincoln said, "In order to save
this Union slavery must be at
tackled" Republicans shuddered and
shivered and shook and howled over
Roosevelt reform.
In spite of the protests Of conserva-
tives Abraham Lincoln with the eman-
cipation proclamation SMASHED THE
MAN TRUST AND FREED THE
WAGELESS SLAVE LABORERS.
Men like those who protested against
Lincolns radicalism are still to be
found in the United States. and most
oVsfxT
They are of the type of those whose
terrified protests reached the unheed-
ing ears of Abraham Lincoln when he
was in the act of accomplishing the
greatest revolution of modern times by
asserting the rights of human beings
are superior to all other rights, an
assertion which hs established as
principle of Americanism forever.
Hold on. You are going too far. You
are attacking property" shrieked the
Conservatives when Lincoln freed the
slaves. Today the Tories are denounc-
ing Americanism and advising the peo-
pie to "Iet we'll enough alone" These
are they who voted reform OUT of the
Republican platform and consigned
that instrument to the base uses Of the
avaricious interests" Republican re-
formers tried to introduce into the plat
form a plank providing for election of
United States senators by the people.
1t was defeated by vote of S66 nays
to "a yeas. A proposed plank provid-
ing that campaign managers publish
from time to time during the cam
paign" the names Of all contributors
and the amounts contributed or prom
ised and the amount and purpose Of all
disbursements, and to whom paid, was
defeated by a vote of $50 nays to "a

wagon like the one bought of YOU
IA years ago, what are you going to
charge me for it? III think you paid
me $50 for it, it will cost you $40
now" Surprised, the farmer objected
then asked the reason. The dealer
said Lumber, iron and steel, are
higher now and probably the tariff
had something to do with it too"
The word tariff sent the farmer up in
the air. Qaieting down the merchant
said: "In 1894 you paid me 600 bu-
shells of corn for that wagon" 81 did,
said the farmer, "but what has that
to DO with it"' "pll tell you" said
the dealer you bring me 600 bushels
