The Popular Vote.

Perhaps few figures concerning the
popular vote in 1900 and 1904 will be
interesting. Much has been heard of
Mr.. Roosevelt's wonderful majority,
but IN analysis of the figures show that
MIR. Roosevelt's increase over the Nc
kinley vote hardly makes good the nat
ural increase in the voting strength of
the republic. In 1900 Mckinley re-
ceivAd 1907, 923 votes. In 1904 Roose-
welt received :, 1924, 480, or 416. $50 more
than Mckinley. In 1900 Bryan receiv-
ell G.35S, 1873 votes. In 1904 Parker re-
c3ivd 2,082, 754, or 1,275, 500. fewer
v';"' than Bryan received four years
before. Roosevelt's excess over Nc
Kinney was only 32t per cent of the
loss sustained by Parker. If these
figures mean anything at all they mean
tha' Roosevelt's majority was due to
Dean >cratic apathy and not to Roose-
velt'S popularity. The conditions in
Dem Dcratic ranks now is vastly differ
cnt from the conditions existing i'm 1904.

COULD NOT BE DIsHEARTENeo.
One Mans Philosophy Rose Superior

Browns cheerfulness was a source OF
wonder and admiration to his friends
Either his religion or his philosophy
taught him to accept everything as
wise dispensation. But then he had
large share of worldly goods, his
friends argued, and nothing but adver
sity would shake his faith.
Therefore, when promising crop

icttations he calmly responded: THE
house never suited us anyway, so 1t
Is all for the best"
Other calamities befell Brown, bit
still he refused to be disheartened.
The climax came when he was in a
railroad accident. Both feet we're so
badly crushed that amputation was
necessary.
sympathetic friends gathered from
all quarters. They dreaded to hear
the lamentations they were sure would
greet them, for even Brown could
hardly be expected to pass this lightly
by.

WHAT THEY INSURE AGAINST

The Wall street gamblers have not
explained just why they are taking
out insurance against the election Of
Bryan but this is what the San Fran
cisco Star has to say about it:
What are these men insuring? ANY
thing that will he hurt by sane, safe,
honest administration of public affairs2
The farmers are not insuring their
crops against Bryans election. The
labor unions and laboring men are not
rushing to Lloyds to insure their Jobs
against Bryan's election. The railroad
companies are not insuring their cars
and roadbeds against Bryan's election
w. l.. Douglass, the shoe manufacturers
IS not insuring his plant and business
against Bryan's election. Then what
;lre these wise men of Wall street pav
ing rate of 10 per cent to insure?
Nothing but the water in the stocks of
special privilege corporations. They
are lnSuring their stocks of water
against damage by Bryanism That is
what they are insuring. and that is all
they are insuring. And they are pay
ing 10 per cent. for three months and
half, or almost b Per cent IL year.
They are paying for this insurance
on the water their stocks, premi-
INNS OF ten per cent I'm other
words, they know that the public
service, special privilege corporations,
are SO much ovcrcapitaliZrd that they.
are willing to pay, as insurance pre-.

candid admission of all that Bryan and
LaFollcttc have charged i'm regard TO
overcapltaliZation and stock Watering?
Paying 800 on $1,000 worth of stocks
Tor three and half months insurance.
These men, he il remembered. are not
inSuring property; they are insuring
privilcge--the privilege of forcing the
public to pay big dividends on inflated
valuations, and they are doing that be
cause they fear that Bryan will he
elected. They fear Bryan and they fear
the attorney general that BRYAN will
appoint. They are not inSuring against
