Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-02

The republican platform declares for the control of monopoly; the dem ocratic platform demands eradication of monopoly-trusts. The republican party wishes to legislate to legalize certain nopolies-trusts. Watered stocks are recognized as a grave evil The steel trust watered it's securities from s360,000,0O0 of constituent companies to s1,6O0,000,0O0 as they now stand. The dominant party never has antagonized the steel trust, never has begun operations through the courts to prevent it from continuing to violate the federal law in restraint of trade. If trusts be legalized through republican legislation, will not the steel trust then be one of the good" trusts to be merely controlled and not eradicated?

Waterbury people don't have to go out of town to hear and see the ca lamity howlers One might be led to believe from reading our Grand street evening contemporary's walls of dis tress that it has one of those elect Bryan and Robertson and there will be no work signs posted in a con- spicuous place in its marble front Here is a throw from the editor and his assistant, the "Penned and Clip ped" man, which appeared in last evenings issue:
 From the editor: "If these men are really republicans and manufac- turers, they must have growing ap- preciation of the significance of the change in state of affairs in every that would follow the ac- eomplishment of the object they at first were supposed to have in view"
 From the P. & c. man: we find
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-02

a Nevada contemporary very hopeful of Bryan's election because 1t finds 600.OO0 people out of work. whose idleness lis the biggest factor in Mr Bryan's favor" But that number Is diminishing every day. and not one of them who stops to think doubts that the election will be fairly sure to deprive him of his job. at least for a considerable time"
 Here is a plain intimation that if Bryan Is elected work will be scarce and if Robertson is elected the manu- lecturers will suffer. A yelled threat which should never be flung in the faces of readers who have good sense enough to know that there Is nothing to it. But if few more voters can be gained for Taft and Lilley by a little misrepresentation of this sort 1t Is considered good politics, even If 1t is far from the truth.

PASSING OF PRAIRIE CHICKENS,
Wise Bird That Knows Too Much to
 Make Nest in Harvest Fields,

If jury of students of nature from the Kansas prairies is ever gath cred together and the question put to them: What is causing the disap- pearance of the prairie chickens ?" they would not all answer hunt ers'
 Very probably there would be a hung jury, and the unexpected yer dict of that part of the jury refusing to lay the blame on the gunners would be: The passing of wild prairie hay" A prairie chicken is a pretty wise bird. She will not lay eggs in tame hay. Somehow she knows that mean looking machine with big cutting blades will soon come along and sweep the field of it's mantle of green glory and expose her nest to the elements, robbers and oth- CT devastators. She shuns the tame grass but seeks the prairie hay. If a prairie hen, say men who claim to know, cannot find wild hay fields in which to build her nest, she will go dry"
 But the pheasant is not so wise. This bird is being planted" in Kan sas by the state game warden. It is an imported bird and does not yet know the Kansas language. Strang to say, it is alfalfa that proves the pheasant's chief enemy. She will build her nest in the alfalfa fields and then later shriek like blazes because the mower has swept her nice shady home away. The frequent cutting of alfalfa does not even give the pheas- ant mother a chance to fix up one good setting and get them good and warm.-Kansas City Journal.

IF YOUR SPINE sHIyERs.

"A shivering spine,' said a psy- chologist, is the one infallible proof of an artistic temperament. Does a shiver run up and down your spine when you listen to beautiful music or read lovely poem, or look at a superb painting? If not the gates of art are closed to you forever.
 All great artists and all good critics experience this shivering sem sation of the backbone before a worthy work of art. Some of these men use the shiver as a measure; the work that does not evoke 1t they pronounce failure. My own spine shivers best to music.

With the inevitable retirement of Foraker and his understudy Dick two years thereafter, there will be a new senatorial deal for Ohio. Ohio is not lacking in senatorial material. There are Garfield, Herrick and Bur ton, these three and possibly a dozen others, but the greatest of them is Burton, who is now member of the lower house. He will doubtless be elected either in Foraker's place or in Dicks. When Theodore Burton Is senator, a Washington writer says, that Ohio will be represented in the upper house with an ability unsur- passed since the time of Allen G. Thurman.
