 MT. Taft claims that the people have ruled because his party carried tha elections in 1896. Ts00 and 1904. We'll, as to 1a04- Edward H. Hartman and the life insurance companies were the people that ruled. That Is. the cor ruptlon fund they raised controlled enough purchasable voters in the ordi- narily doubtful States to change what might otherwise have happened. He Speaker Cannon and his Committee on Rules ruled the Federal House of Representatives and that Wall street through its agent. Senator Aldrich and his Senatorial conferees. ruled the Sen. ate in the passage of the emergenry currency blll. Nor does he touch tbs well-known fact that the Big Stick of his sponsor, Theodore Roosevelt held in terrorem over the army oi Federal oficeholders in the South who were delegates to the Chicago conven. tion ruled in the making of his nom ination for the presidency. That is the way the people have been permit ted to rule during the last seven years.

 Recently The New York Fyeninr Po., Geciared khat negro suffrage was aths greatest achievement of Abraham rdneoin and the Republican Party" In answer to tne protest of q correspondent who descrfb- ca the grant of negro suffrage as "a stu pendcus error. sxcusabIe on no other grounds but war time passions,'' The Even Ing Post declared that the .'enfra nchisernent or the negro was not the result of war time passion but statesmaniike action. certain ?, some pad results. but Justified in that 1t alone saved the negro from re-ensIavement under another name" The Evening Poet further asserted It's beiief in untveraaI man, hood suffrage without regard to the rnornl character of the voter"
 The Evening Post has . right to these ordinary, that 1t may elect to hold. But whether universal negro suffrage was the greatest or the least achievement of the Republican party 1t can not be accurately Described as an achievement of Abraham Lincoln. His Idea was an experiment of negro suffrage limited to a very few Tn his letter Governor Hahn of conquered Louisiana. he said;
 T barely suggest, for your private consid- eration. whether some of the coIored people may not be let in. as. for instance. the very intelligent. and especially those who have
 
 only a suggestion, not to the public. but to you alone"
 Tn his debates with DoukIass just before the war Lincoln "very frankly declared that he was mot in favor of negro citizen ship" In the same debates he said: There is a physical difference between the two traces) which, in my judgment will proba- ply forbid their living to gether upon the footing of perfect equality" Doubtless it was for this reason that almost to the last he favored the deportation and eoloniza- ton of the slaves as soon as they were set free. To a deputation of free blacks on Au- gust is. 1882. he declared that the only solution of the problem was the separation of the races referring to his plan of colo nizing the freedmen in purchased foreign territory. .on this broad continent" he frankly said to them, mot single man of your race Is made the equal of ours. Go where you are treated tho best, and the ban Is still upon you. do not propose to dis cuss this but to present 1t as a fact"
 Later, yielding to the dominating ssnti- ment in the North. Lincoln weakened and seemed to surrender his objections to the free blacks remaining in this country, even going so far. in q message to Congress. as to describe that objection as 'iargely imaE- mary, if not sometimes malicious" If he had lived, 1t may be that he would have modified some of his other positions car- ried along with the current of radicalism and war time passion" It may be that he would have been persuaded to conten- ance immediate and universal suffrage Tor the blacks But it Is nevertheless fact that while he lived he went no further than to suggest an experiment of negro suf- fraRe limited to a select few.

This woman says Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound saved her life. Read her letter.
 Mrs. T. c. Willadsen, of Manning, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
 1" I can truly say that Lydia K. Pink hams Vegetable Compound saved my life, and 1 cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For years suffered with the worst forms of female com plaints, continually doctoring and spending lots of money for medicine without help. I wrote you for advice, followed 1t as directed, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and 1t has restored me to perfect health. Had it not been for you should have been in my grave to-day. wish every suffering woman would try it."
 FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
 For thirty years Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera- ton, fibfoid trmors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bear ing-down feeling, fiatulency, indiges- tion, dizziness, or nervous prostration. Why don't you try it?
 Mrs. Pinhham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass.

accomplish anything except to further complieate politics. There are inde- penients, and then there are some more independents san over the land. we are well aware; men who care nothing for political principles or poli- cies and as a general thing care It, tie for parties. but vote Republican or Democratic. as whim Or seif-inter- est dictates. and often refuse to vote for either. The strength of such q vote can never be calculated in ad- vance. nor can 1t be told which party will lose by 1t.
 The Hearst organization was found ed largely on malice. spite and dis appointment. For years he has been trying to convince Democrats of his greatness and trying to make them see that he is the proper man to lead them to glorious victory. but they have obstinately refused to be converted to his view; therefore he sets for himself and his money the task of defeating the Democratic ticket in revenge for what he seems to consider Democratic ingratitude. Just what measure of success will crown his efforts remains to be seen. There Is not as much soli- darity in the Republican party as It's leaders would have the country be- lieve. but we may as well assume that there will not be any remarkable de. lection from their ranks. The desire to hold on to the offices is . power fui incentive to unity, and that is what the Democrats have most to fear. De- feat means much to the Republican spoiismen and offiee-hoiders. and we may feel sure that they will spare no efforts or money to win. Aside from the many good and sound reasons why we wish for Democratic success we want to see Hearst put down and out so completely that he will cease to be an incumbfancs to Democracy and stumbling block in the way of good government. Let's try to put Hearst and his organization out of business.
