tected interests, and then allow owing those interests to recoup themselves with a free hand from the pockets of the people. The paramount article of itf creed is simply the principle of grand larceny, trimmed with Valen- ciennes lace. For years 1t has been preying upon the people and feeding them on bugaboos. A year ago it gave the country a financial panic and emptied the workingman's dinner pail.
 Time reveals all things. The truth is emerging from the clouds of error and misrepresentation. We are making progress. Thanks to the Democratic party, this will be comparatively honest campaign. The Republican party will not have five or six millions with which to corrupt the electo- rate this year.
 The Democracy has not been content to mark time in this cam paign. It has struck a forcible blow for pure elections. It has made the good fight for constitu- tional government. It has regis tered its protest against the al- most Neronian extravaganza of the Republican party. It has opened the eyes of the people to the dangers of Rooseveltism, which is but another name for incipient anarchy. and if we are to banish this shadow, it must be by voting against the man who claims to be the echo of Me = Commercial Appeal.

NATIONAL TICKET.
THE MOVING FINGER WRITES.

The presidential campaign will come to an end in a little over three weeks. During that period we ought to brush all the cob- webs away and make the issues clear before the people. Many adroit efforts have been made to divert the public mind from the vital questions, and send the man who does the voting off on trip to the moon. For about three weeks the attention of the people has been kept focused on the charges presented by MT. Hearst against Senator Foraker, Cover nor Haskell, ex-Senator McLau- rin, Senator Bailey and others.
 Naturally these charges creat ed a sensation; and when MT. Hearst declrred that the Stand ard Oil had been driven out of the Republican into the Demo. cratic party. he gave MT. Roose- welt a cue that he was quick to avail himself of. But our i'm pulsive president was in such a hurry that he mounted the steed the wrong way, and has galloped off backward, amid laughter and applause.
 Fortunately, the charge that the Democratic party is now smeared with Standard Oil was brought early enough in the cam paign to be thoroughly refuted. Mr. Haskell has demonstrated that in sustaining the Prairie Oil company, he was recognizing a Roosevelt grant. whose validity was guaranteed by the constitu- ton of the state. If there was anything reprehensible in recog- nizing the validity of the Prairie Oil franchise. then there was something infinitely more repre- hensible in granting that fran chise; and it now seems to be pretty well settled that it was MT. Roosevelt who directed Sec retary Hitchcock to issue the grant to the branch company of the Standard Oil.
 But Governor Haskell. not car ing to be an issue in the cam- paign, withdrew from the treas urership of the Democratic com mittee. and hence he cannot be an issue. He was only a fictitious issue before; for he is not a can didate for office, and his connec- tion with the national committee was merely that of a receiver of funds. The effort to connect the Democratic party with the Stand ard Oil was so absurd that it has collapsed from pure inertia.

three weeks the fight must be pushed on vital lines.
 There can be little doubt that New York and other Eastern states are anxious to see an end of the Roosevelt fantasia. Even some of those journals that favor Judge Taft are basing their SUD- port on the claim that the best way to vote against Roosevelt IS to vote for Taft. Eastern people find fault with MT. Roosevelt be- cause he has not the presidential manner. He seems to think that he can proclaim truth by admin istrative process, and banish er- TOT in the same way. He tries and pronounces men guilty be- fore trial, and continues to pro- claim them guilty after their in- nocence has been judicially estab- lished. His cavalier treatment of the constitution marks one of the most dangerous tendencies of the times.
 President Roosevelt has deter mined to make himself the main issue in the campaign He start ed out by writing letters to MT. Bryan, but the latter answered him to such good purpose that he was seized suddenly with writ CTS cramp. The temper of the people was then felt through the announcement that the president was going to take the stump. A vail of despair went up from the Republican biIouac, and the faithful Loeb must have tackled down the president s coat-tails to his chair.
 Deprived of speech and pen and ink, the president command cred the presence of that light winged evangel of predatory wealth, George R. Sheldon. in the national capital, and took up the question of campaign funds, which do not seem to be flowing into the Republican strong box with the usual finidity. As re- suit of the preside it's active in- terest in gathering in the scudi and the shekels, the New York Herald has discovered that the golden snow is falling more gen. erously, and that several large contributions, which have been hanging back, have been shaken down by the presidents vigor- ous methods, and have rattled into the treasury.
 This is form of Rooseveltism that we had hoped would not ap- pear in ! his campaign. Four years ago the Standard Oil con- tributed S100, GOO to MT Roose- velt's election. and he personally solicited. through Mr. Hartman, "a large contribution which amounted to S250, 000-and invit- cd that gentleman to come down and discuss with him certain features in his coming message. He has now taken charge of the fat-frying department of the campaign. with gratifying re- suits to the Republican commit tee.
 As the campaign has adva need the mists have cleared away. The people have been relieved of many misconceptions; and they behold the Republican party as it the party of spoliation, Of graft. of extravagance. It is a cross between the wolf and the hyena. It has been buying elec- tions with the money of the pro

NEGRO PUGILIST KNOCKED
 OUT BY JOHN BARLEYcORN
George Dixon, Once Pride of synored
 Circle Wili Be Buried, In POtters Field.


 New York, Jan. 7.--Until an early hour this morning the body of George Dixon, the negro pugilist who died yesterday afternoon "a losing fight with John Barleycorn?" as himself expressed 1t. lay under the brilliant lights in the Long Acre Atheletic Club, while hundreds of people who knew him and admired his prowess as a fighter in his better days. looked their last on the features of the man who died broken in health, penniless and stripped of all the honors as he had won in the prize ring. died vic- tim of that dissipation which has been the curse of so many of his calling.
 In the main room of the club the coffin rested under the lights which weekly shine on boxing bouts held for the amusement of those who a few years ago cheered to the echo the very appearance of the fighter whose dead face the lights illumed. Negro men by the score. men who have for years been proud of Dixon because he was of their race, and not a few negro women, gathered in the club to look at the that remained of George Dixon. A good many of them left their little tri- bute of flowers for the fighter whose friends and followers had deserted him when his great defeat came and whose charity, now will give him the grave outside Potter's field.
 The body will remain in the Long
