KEEP THEN ON THE RUN.

SO the Republicans are going to call
an extra session of Congress If Taft is
elected, and revise the tariff, eh, Well,
such bad luck eventuate, that revision
would be like the play of Hamlet, with
the part of Hamlet omitted. The tariff
is the fight this time, and there should
be no let up in any State of the Union.
The enemy is on the run, and out in
Kansas few days ago the RepubIi-
cans of that State in party council
assembled, declared, after hot fight
for Estate Bank Deposit Guarantee
BILL
This looks inconsistent on the face,
but it shows that the people are think
ing deeply and even Taft's reference to
this matter in his speech OF acceptance,
did not allay the feeling of insecurity
that those people professed and so it
is all along the line.
Many believe that this action will
lose the State 10 the Republicans. So
you can see that all is not all gravy
aud choice cuts with the party of God
and morality" There are enough
tariff revision Republicans scattered
all over this country, to make a Won
derful change in the vote as it was
recorded at the last three Presidential
elections. This hot air about breaking
in on the ''Solid South" is another
SIN my eye" artifice of the enemy
Local conditions are sufficient to keep
the South in line, aud then there is
precious little for it to gain by helping
to elect the Republican ticket. De-
mocracy has been the safe guard of
the South, and to desert it now in the
face of possible success, would be
worse than madness. No, the truth is
that the enemy is on the go now, and
if the party leaders are wise. they will
be kept there until the votes are count
ed on the coming fateful election day.

WELDING THE BIG STICK

When some one asked an ancient
philosopher Why he did not MAINTAIN
his dispute with Roman Emperor,
AZ he had mnch the best of the argu-
ment, he answered senIentiously that
il was vain to contend with the master
of hundred legions. In much the
same feeling the Republican polite
ians of New YORK, who are opposed TO
the reconciliation of Governor Hughes,
deem it useless TO struggle with the
dispenser of the enormous spoils of the
Federal Government, who does not
scruple for moment 10 use them
when the occasion requires II. Re
garding himself as the proyidentiai
guardian of the American people in
general, and of the Republican party
in particular, he notifies his political
dependents that the nomination of
Governor Hughes is necessity to
prevent the defeat of his candidate
and protege, Mr.. Taft, and that is
enough. Woe, then, to the uuwary
l,Republican wight holding Federal
Office in New York, or expecting to
hold one, who runs counter to the
sovereign will of the potentate at Sag
amore Hill.

HONEST GOVERNMENT AND
PROSPERITY.

A great deal has been said already
in this campaign 10y the Republicans
and the Republican press about pros
perity.;
The Republican candidate, or more
properly speaking Roosevelt's candi-
date, Mr. Taft, has said great deal
about prosperity. We have been told
how great our prosperity has been by
the Republican platform, the Republic
can press and by Mr.. Taft. This
would be all very well, and in one
respect, perfectly justifiable, and that
one respect is that the people do not
know how prosperous they have been
or are now. When We get up in the
morning. every day in The year, we
know whether the sun shines or
whether it s cloudy
We do not require the Republican
party, or the press, or Mr. Taft TO tell
us the sun shines, or that ii is cloudy
and rainy We would laugh at them
if they did. Now, every intelligent
man in the United States knows as
well how prosperous he is AS he knows
that the sun shines, and he does not
need to be told. We think that this
is also true of our intelli.ent Philip
pine subjects, our Hawaiian subjects,
our Porto Rican and Cuban subjects.
When people are prosperous they
know it, and know it better than the
Republican party, the Republican
press or Mr.. Taft.
The people not only know whether
they are prosperous, but they know
exactly how prosperous they are, and
how and wherefrom their prosperity
comes.
Now let the people stop and con-
slider how much OF their prosperity has
come from tue Republican party. OF
any other party. OF course those that
have an Office under the Republican
party are prosperous. But we are con-
sldering the grea. mass of the people.
who do not hold office and who do not
want an Office. Very few men in any
party ever hold an Office. If this class
of people will consider this question
there will be no difficulty in coming
to correct conclusion. Let the farmer
consider and think it over, and see if
he has raised more wheat and corn
when the Republicans were in power

What the New York Herald
Thinks of BRYAN.

The following extract from the
New York Herald, which hereto
fore has supported the Republi-
can candidates. should be read
with interest: "NO one now fears
that his election would provoke
an industrial, commercial and
financial cataclysm. As matter
of fact. his speech of acceptance
has strengthened rather than
shaken public confidence. MT.
Bryan has evidently mellowed in
retirement. While Mr.. Roose-
welt has been growing steadily
more radical in his attitude to-.
wards economic questions, the
Nebraskan has been steadily
growing more conservative and
prudent. Moreover he is indis
putably the idol of an imposing
section of the American cleo
torate. Even those Democrats
who repudiate empbatically Mr..
Bryan's most extravaganza theo-
ries have been forced to admit
that his influence with the rank
aud file of the party is unrivalled
and undiminished aud have rec
ognized that truth by again EN-
rolling for service under his
banner"

PLAY THE GAME FAIR.

Whilst we naturally Look with salts
faction on any straw that shows the
industrial resumption wind is blowing
in the right direction, there is little
game of bluff being played on the'pub-
lie by the Taft press out of this very
material. Business concerns that have
been on the ragged edge so long, that
it is either case of sell goods or go
into the scrap pile; larger industries
that could afford to shut down during
the season of the panic which has been
so long upon US; stores that sold out
every last article before buying more,
and big railroad, county, State and
municipal Improvements that have
waited until the danger point was
almost reached, or disintegration so far
advanced that necessity compelled re-
pair or renewal-these industrial and
commercial swskenings. go far to-
wards telling how great was the de-
preston that we have all witnessed
during the past ten months, and it Is
but natural that something should be
doing to restore the country 10 even
normal conditions. Of course, the
Taft press, eager to seize on anything
that will SAVIOR of a return to prosper
Gus times, paint in glowing colors any
such details, and no objection can be
had as long as they hew TO the line
and let the chips fall where they may.
But few days ago. the Baltimore
press made quite lot out of the re-
sumption of several glass factories
there, aud then boosted up the full
dinuer pail aud prosperity game amaz-
ingly. The truth to tell, these glass
industries ARRAYS close doWn during
the Wdrm Uedther.
Even this year they are late in re-
suming, and in the summer few OF
them had enough to do to keep them
open That is the way all over the
country. Deceit aud unfairness had
mnch to do with the defeat OF Mr.
Bryan in 1856 and 1900, but his friends
have now "a watchful eye on all tricks
and subterfuges, and not long ago
called the bluff of some big concerns
which were working the "open up
after Taft's election racket"
To laborers and workers generally,
who have tired to get work during
these troublesome times, such songs do
not sound good. They want the real
thing and are getting wise enough by
sad experience to know that change
does everybody, especially when hard
times are due to the pernicious Repub-
lican legislation.
The eve ofan important national cleo
ton is hardly the proper time to make a
first exhibit of business activity with
any show of even reasonable response.
The Republican leaders are respon-
sible for the laws which have brought
about this terrible state of affairs and
upon them and their party must rest
the awful responsibility.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1908-09-11
Not Apathy.

Former Senator Thurston, of
Nebraska, volunteers a theory
that "what some people have
termed apathy among the voters
of the country is not that at all.
1t is nothing more than universal
contentment with conditions as
they are-with the present ad-
miuistration of affairs by the
Republican party"
Mr. Thurston is mistaken both
as to the apathy and universal
contentment. Not since 1896
has there been more political dis
satisfaction with conditions as
they now are" The causes are
not the same everywhere; the
manifestations are not the same
everywhere; but what Is called
apathy in the campaign is only
the blind cropping of voters in
search of an adequate means of
expressing their dissatisfaction.
or the silent evidence of their dis
appointment in failing thus far
to find such means.
There is political unrest every.
, where. Business is still dull.
Hundreds of thousands of men
are still unemployed or work only
part of the time. While the in
come dimiuishes, the cost of liv-
ing advances all of the time.
Taxes are high. The satisfied
voter, is the exception, not the
rule. Wall street is no less dis
cOntcnted than the ditch digger.
In Maine the desire for change
'akes the form of revolt against
prohibitions; in New York in a
crusade against bossism; in Con
necticut in protest against cor
poration government. In Ohio,
Indiana, aud Illinois the State
administrations are very uDpop-
ular. La West Virginia and Iowa
the Republican party is split into
factions engaged in open warfare.
ln Wisconsin nothing but the
party emblem distinguishes a
Bryan Democrat from a La Fol
lete Republican.
The East is tired of Roosevelt
and ROoseveltism. In Kansas,
Nebraska and the Middle West
generally, there is an uprising
against reactionary government.
Bristow defeated Long for Sen
ator in Kansas. A bitter Cum
Minis and anti Cummlns fight for
the Senatorshlp is in progress in
Iowa. F0ss in Illinois threatens
to carry the contest against Hop
kins to the Legislature. The
La Toilette men in Wisconsin also
talk of repudiating the decision
OF the State primary and carry
ing the fight against Senator
Stephenson to the State Legisla-
ture. The radical Democrats went
10 the hepuOllcan primaries III
South Dakota to keep the radical
Republican elemeuts in control.
Not in years have party lines
been more loosely drawn or voters
more disposed to put principles
and men above pa. ty labels. The
opportunity of the Democratic
party in the coming election lies
in making itself an effective in
strument for this spirit of protest.
A great Independent vote can be
won if the Democracy and its
candidates prove before election
day that they deserve this vote
and can appeal to its confidence.
