"Come, it IS time we were moving.

Capt. Ryves rises too; there is heavy
frown upon his face, and can see he is
not pleased that Mohun has repeated
correctly part of the verses he has for

NHERE are whole lot of men in

"HERE are whole lot of men in
this country who are presiden-
tial possibilities and don't
know it. Conversely, there are
a lot who are not presidential posi-
bilities who don't know that either.
William L. Douglas, the Massachusetts,
ex-governor and shoemaker, belongs to
the first class. Everybody knows
Douglas. His face is almost as IA
miliar as that of Lydia Pinkham. He
is deservedly popular with newspaper
publishers. Any man who will pay
real money for having his picture
printed deserves boost from editors
Most public men expect the papers to
run their portraits because of per-
sonal pulchritude. Douglas doesn't.
He has shoes to sell and literally faces
the world with that announcement.
He ought to be president, and if the
press Of the country has a scintila of
gratitude it will make him so. The
politicians also could do worse than
nominate Douglas He would prove
a great drawing card. Every man in
supporting him would feel as if he were
voting for one he had known all his
life. But, whatever we may say for the
politicians. the duty of the press is
plain. Every newspaper that is ready
to practice what it breaches should
place at the head of it's editorial COL
umns this ticket:
For President-William L. Douglas
of Massachusetts.
Platform-It pays to advertise.
Like John D. Rockefeller, Mr.. Doug

Moves Straight Ahead.

Moves Straight Ahead.
Governor Douglas cannot be includ-
ed in this category, however, for the
reason that he has not made this sac
rifice for the purpose Of informing the
public of his own virtues, but rather
of the virtues Of his shoes. That
makes the martyrdom all the greater
But, like a hero, he moved straight
ahead. He would slaughter his own
modesty rather than leave the people
in Ignorance
Up to the time he struck the scheme
that has made his lineaments better
known than those of anybody except
the president and 'the peerless" Mr..
Douglas accused his hated rivals Of
stealing his ideas. The moment he
adopted new lead in advertising they
made it their own. But when he began
printing his picture they admitted
themselves stung. They could not steal
his face.
The year Mr.. Douglas was made gov
ernor Of the Bay State practically the
entire north was swept by Republic
an wave similar to that which obliter-
ated Parker and landed Roosevelt. All
the rest of the Republican ticket was
elected in Massachusetts. Douglas
alone kept the Democratic party on
the northern map. No wonder he be-
came presidential possibility the day
after election.
One welcome departure in his fight
was that Governor Douglas paid for
the advertising he received. Other can
didates expect the papers to advertise
them "for the good Of the cause"
Despite this method of self exploita-
tons, the governor elect revealed his
innate modesty by ascribing the result
to the tariff. He took no credit for his
original ways of conducting a cam
paign. In his posters, his page ads.
and at his barbecues he had told the
people that American manufacturers
under the pretense of boosting Ameri-
canism actually sold goods abroad at
a much less price than at home. he
further insisted that the tariff costs
the people Of Massachusetts several
times as much as it gives them in re-
turn. So deep an Impression did he

TWO he any criterion, the amount of y
mans wealth increases in inverse ratio
with his brain thatch. Douglas lost
most Of his hair and is about the rich
est man in Massachusetts. Rockefeller
lost all of his and is the richest man
in the world. The proposition is also
proved by the fact that there are so
many men who have hair and nothing
else. Another proof is that Populists
do not like millionaires It is remark
able the number Of things a man can
find to support any idea he really
wants to demonstrate. A chap in Chi
cago once started out to prove that the
world is hollow and that we live on
the inside Of it and made a strong
case.
d The general idea concerning Gov
ernor Douglas is that he is an incar-
mated advertisement. This concept
however, does him injustice. He was
a sentient being before he ever knew
the delights and profits Of printers
ink. But his full glory had not then
burst upon the world. He had not be-
gun to sell shoes or run for president.
1t was only by the employment Of the
engraver's art and Of display type that
he reached the full stature Of his USE
fitness.
Capitalized His Features.
It was Barnum who suggested to
Governor Douglas the way to make
his face his fortune Barnum was
about the homeliest man ever seen out
side a museum, but this did not pre-
vent him from capitalizing his fea-
lures. By pla tering his pictures on
barns, trees and fences he convinced
the American people that his circus,
like his ugliness, was something out
Of the ordinary.
Douglas was not as ugly as Barnum,
but sowed his picture with a more
unsparing hand. Wherever people
wore shoes there was his ad. in the
midst Of them. He grew as celebrated
as the measles or the multiplication
table. Presidents might come and go,
but Douglas went on forever. His
forehead, so nearly approximating in
finity, cleaned and glistened from ev-
cry page. Everybody came to deal
with him because he seemed an o.
friend.
When he ran for governor Of Mas

Not Successful Until He Married,

There is reason for Governor Doug
las delight in his home. He had no
success until he married At that time
he was penniless shoemaker who but
year or two before had tramped
through Nebraska and Colorado and
almost starved on the plains. From
his wedding day he began to prosper.
His wife. who had been a Miss Naomi
Augusta Terry, brought him no money,
but she did bring him hope, faith and
spirit, which, after all, are the real
substances out of which the success
stuff is made.
While not an orator, Mr.. Douglas has
a good appearance on the platform and
speaks in such a simple, sensible and
direct manner that he wins his hear
ers. He reads his speeches, which is
usually the most effective method of
numbering them. He has caught the
knack of it, however, and does it in
such way that his talks are still
alive even though dressed in manu-
script funeral clothes.
1t was great surprise to Mr.. Doug
las family, friends and newspaper
supporters when he was elected.
Doubtless the surprise was shared by
himself. He had probably figured only
on reducing the mountainous Repub-
l1can majority in way to do him cred
it. The American public, however, has
a surprising faculty of divining the in
nermost spirit in public man. The
people of Massachusetts, concluded that
this man had honesty without pre-
tense and ability without ostentation,
That was the sort Of governor they
wanted. If more Of that kind Of men
would run for Office there would be
more Of these pleasant surprises in
politics. Some day the American voter
will learn enough to measure candi-
dates by the standard of character
rather than by that of noise.
The four things that elected Douglas
were his popularity with the workers.
his advocacy Of tariff revision and
reciprocity, his original campaign meth
DDS and the peoples confidence in his
integrity. All Of these would be yalua.

sachusetts it was the same old story.
He simply advertised his opponent out
Of all his majorities. One year before
Roosevelt had carried the state by
more than $4,000. Douglas, running
on the Democratic ticket, reversed this
and piled up a plurality of $4,000. He
plastered the Bay State from end to
end with scenes from his life and with
his ideas on public questions. One of
his most effective pictures was of him
self as penniless small boy pegging
shoes. That caught the eyes Of the
mill operatives.
Admired by ToiIers.
There were other reasons, however,
for his popularity among the working
people. He had treated his men with
justice, believing that policy to be
good business. When the Association
Of Shoe Manufacturers opposed labor
unions he had withdrawn. He believed
that labor and capital should work as
friends, not as enemies. On account
of these novel attitudes he had gained
the unbounded admiration Of the toll
ers, not only Of his own toilers, but of
those all over the state. It is not i'm
possible that other employers Of labor
might learn lesson from Governor
Douglas.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Douglas
forehead seems so tall, he himself is a
short and slight man and is much
more timid and retiring than his pic
lures. 1t often requires a shy man

He not only took a new departure in
his canvass, however, but in Office. He
insisted on making his appointments
from the most fitting material regard
less Of party. It is so unusual for an
official to show himself an American
before he is a partisan that members
Of the political machine could not un-
derstand it. Whether it was disgust at
this selfish and fractional view of the
bosses or for some other reason, Gov
ernor Douglas refused to be a candi-
date for reelection. The Republicans
returned to their ascendency in Mas
sachusetts from that day, although
they despaired Of beating Douglas if
he had been a candidate.
Secret of His Strength.
Those closest to the man whom
many Democrats regard as their most
promising candidate say that the secret
Of his strength is the 4ase with which
he does the apparently impossible. He
is one Of those favorites of success who
have sufficient faith, will, energy and
insight to enable them to surmount
difficulties at which the average soul
stands appalled,. This faculty he has
shown again and again in his bust
ness ventures as we'll as in his canvass
for governor
While in no sense politician, Mr.
Douglas has been a member of both
houses Of the Massachusetts legisla-
ture and mayor Of his home CITY Of
Brockton. He is not only immensely
popular with the workingmen, who
point out that he has had no strikes or
lockouts in his shops, but with the
business men, who admire his integ-
rity, his common sense and his genius
for overcoming the difficult
William L. Douglas is the son of a
shoemaker, but where his father turn
ed out one pair Of shoes he turns out
millions. In advising young men to
stick to the last he gives the motto a
new application. He says in effect
that if cobbler changed his last
every few minutes his shoes would
have no more shape than a toad. That
is the way with the life work of a
young man who switches occupations
In advising everybody to follow the
shoemaker's motto the ex-governor
practices what he breaches. The Doug
las family has stuck to the last and
prospered.
There was time in young Douglas
youth when he deserted the waxed
ends, however. He went to Denver
and afterward to Montana in search of
gold. Like the man who hunted for a
treasure around the world and after
ward found it at his own doorstep,
Mr.. Douglas returned to Massachusetts
and discovered gold mine in the shoe
business that he had temporarily neg

Great Home Man.

In determining that the secret Of
wealth is at home he found the kin
dred truth that the secret of happiness
is also at home. In consequence he is
one of the greatest home men In the
world.
It is an inspiring fact that, hos: ever
the "afinity" craze and divorce manias
may obtain in our midst, the American
people will trust no man to look after
their public business who is not clean
and wholesome in his domestic life
If he does depart from the white way
he loses his hold on the respect Of the
masses the moment he is found out.
Say what you will, the instinct of the
many is for moral health.
Just as his business methods are
along the lines of integrity and faic
dealing by all, Mr.. Douglas home life
is simple, kindly, unaffected and pure.
AS might be expected in the case Of a
man who shows such private integrity,
the public career Of Governor Douglas
Is without blemish. A really honest
man is just as honest in his relations
with government as he is in his deal
ingS with his neiglbOr.

NAVAL BASES URGENTLY NEEDED.
Admiral PiIlsbury's Recommendations Would
Revive Grade of Vice-Adniral.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Attention is strongly invited
in the annual report CT Rear Admiral Ptlshury,
chief of the navigation bureau. TO the lack OF q
defended naval base in either the American in
suar possessions in the East the Caribbean Sea,
the probable theatres of action IN any war III
which the navy might be called TO engage So
important Is this question believed to be that, in
Admiral PiIsbury's opinion all appropriations for
new improvements ct naval stations o. for the
defence OF the coast ports should give way 10 the
establishment and defence Of naval bases in the
Philippines at Pearl Harbor and at Guantanamo.
for these bases he says. are vital to success in
war.
There is a renewal OF the recommendation that
the grade Of vice-adTnral should be revived It is
proposed that i've officers of this rank he author
lied. Admiral PiIlsbury thinks 1t due the service
and the country that the commanders IN chief Of
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets should have least
