ROOSEVECT'S DEMO-
CRATIC MESSAGE.

NOTHING is now being discussed
IN political circles but the sturdy mes
sage of President Roosevelt to Con-
gress. He takes off his gloves and
treats the question of the menace
that predatory wealth is the coun-
try. Years ago when the Democracy
pointed out the chance for wealth to
become omnipinent the people decried
the warning and discounted it at the
polls. The eyeils Of the centraliza-
ton of trusts and corporate power
are now upon us and growing faster
every year.
The President has taken up the
cudgels in behalf of the masses a1i
the Republican press. subsidized by
the entrenched interests that ROose-
welt assails. are already speaking OF
the brave message as the rawlings of
a disordered mind This is the first
President since Jackson's and Lin
coins time who had the courage to
express his convictions without CON
sulting Wall Street. Fut it there
