SHADOWTOWN.

Sway to and fro In the twilight gray
This is the ferry for Shadowtown;
1t always sails at the end of day,
Just as the darkness closes down.
Rest little head, on my shoulder so;
4 sleepy kiss is the only fare;
Drifting away from the world we go,
Baby and I in the rocking-chair.
See, whore the fire-logs glow and
spark,
Glitter the lights of the Shadow
land;
The raining drops on the window
harkl
Are ripples tapping upon the strand.
There, where the mirror is glancing
dim,
A lake lies shimmering cool and
still;
Blossoms are waving about its brim
Those over there on the window
sill.
Rock SLOW more slow, in the dusky
light.
Silently lower the anchor down:
Dear little passenger. say Good
night"
We've reached the harbor of Shad-
owtown.

too long. The nations political health
demands a change. 1t would be folly
to expect progressive action from
those who by nature are opposed to
change; who believe in "standpat-
ISM
In any country the natural course
is for the two parties to alternate in
the control of the government. \
healthy balance is then maintained.
But in the United states prejudice
growing out OF the civil war, has
given the republicans the advantage
up to this time.
In his discussion of the tariff,
Congressman Hobson pointed out
clearly the inlquty of the present
system. Under the present tariff the
people OF the United States pay a
monster indirect tax that goes. not
tc the government, but to the pockets
Of the trusts.
Because Of the tariff, American
makers of farm machinery sell inn
plements TO foreign wheatraisers at
prices far below those they charge in
this country.
Because Captain Hobson's talk was
different from the average stump
speech, it was misunderstood by a few
present. Some Of both parties thought
/; was not of the sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal" order. But it was
not "over the heads" of the bulk of
the people within the audience,
With those who really think, Hob
sons talk was a mastery, effective
argument in favor of democracy.

THE PASSING OF FUEL.

Less than % years from now rail-
road locomotives will carry no fuel
Trains sll over the country will be run
| by power conveyed by wire from a
dozen great central plants located in
the neighborhood of coal mines.
There will be no smoke. no cinders,
to make a journey by rail disagreea-
ble"
This Prof Robert II. Fernald, ex-
pert in charge of the government fuel
inquiry is quoted by Robert Franklin
in the Technical Word Magazine for
May.
II has been proved practicable. ne
says by the help of producers and
gas engines, to convert the energy of
coal into electricity and transmit it
by wire over distances exceeding $50
miles. This means that trains could
be run from a single central plant
over 100000 square miles-an area
nearly four times that of the state of
Illinois-and that 10 or IL such
plants, located at or near mining CEN
ters, could furnish motive power for
all the railroads in the United States.
Now that it is commercially pos
slble to transmit electric power $50
miles or more" says Prof Fernald,
the location of immense gas-produc-
er plants at the mines. or within easy
reach of them, must speedily follow.
But it should not be supposed that
this power will be utilized only by the
railroads of the country. 1t will be
supplied to factories. and employed
for all sorts Of industrial purposes in
cities and towns. whose populations
will be thus enabled to enjoy clean
liness and freedom from the tyranny
of smoke chimneys."

DEFENDING THE PACIFIC.

For weeks past some republican
newspapers OF the Pacific coast have
been talking to their readers in this
wise;
IF you wish to see the Pacific coast
defended and a fleet maintained on
the Pacific; if you do not wish to be
little Americans vote for Taft"
But here comes Captain Hobson,
the most earnest advocate in the
country Of a larger navy, and he de-
clares that the democratic party. not
the republican. stands for the defense
Of the Pacific.
In his address yesterday Captain
Hobson pointed out that while the re-
publican platform is silent upon the
subject Of the navy and coast defense,
the democratic platform is strong in
favor OF a navy adequate to defend
all the coasts of the country.
Some republican newspapers have
been lying.
If the Pacific coast Is in danger,
the danger is from the possession of
the Philippines. Americas only pos
slble foe in the Paslfic is is'Japan. II
the United States did not hold the
Philippines Japan would never dream
OF fighting this country.
From a military standpoint the
islands are a rock about this country's
neck. Japan knows this. Japan
knows she can take the Philippines
any day and that it would require
a monster American army to retake
them. It is this knowledge that makes
Japan insolent. Japan knows that
because Of the Philippines the United
States will hesitate long before goins
II war Should the two countries
fight with the orient as the seat Of
war the United states would be worse
handicapped than Russia was. Rus
sia nad a railroad TO convey her
troops to Manchuria; the United
states would have an ocean to cross.
The Philippines are a military men
ace to the United States. The reten-
ton Of the islands means that mill
lion young Americans may some day
have 10 cross the Pacific to fight
Japan for their reclamation. II they
go they will lay down their lives by
thousands, as the Russians did be-
cause Of a political blunder.
The democratic party has always
favored getting out Of the Philippines
as quickly as possible; the republican
party favors expansion, which means
going deeper into the orient
Which party is the wiser; which Is
thc truly patriotic?

\ MASTERLY ARGUMENT.

Those who delight in a clean, in
telllgent discussion Of political issues
rather than in the disgusting clap
trap and buncombe that constitutes
four-fifths Of the stuff handed out in
campaign times, liked Captain Hob
sons address yesterday
In dignified way yet forcibly and
conclusively the naval hero showed
why the democratic party should be
placed in power. It Is the liberal
party-the party that stands for pro-
gress and reform. The conservative
republican party has been in power
