the 500 road has been compelled to shut
off work on account of the rain. The
only portion of the work now under

the site of the company's proposed docks

been laid. so that 500 work trains can,
by coming to Superior on other roads
and switching over, get onto their own
tracks here If cold weather should fol-

is not likely that much more will be
accomplished in Superior before next

Democratic Victory VIII Restore
Prosperity,

The Democratic party wants prosper

prosperity. 1t wants that prosperity
shared by every citizen. And it knows
that you can have no permanent pros

manent peace unless you have harmoni-

the Democratic party knows that you can
not have harmonious cooperation be-

of justice as between man and man, and

And Why Not AldrichG

President Roosevelt denounces Senator
Foraker for his Standard Oil affiliations.
Why not Senator Aldrich also? Is it be-
cause Foraker opposed Taft, while AID
rich is for Taft? Last winter the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, a Republican pa
per, said that Senator Aldrch has cap
italistic affiliations" and 'openly consults
with the men who control in that hazy,
yet positive, element popularity known as
'the Wall street crowd" 1t is said that
Mr.. Aldrch seldom takes any step in
or out of the Senate without consulting
with his New York connections" and
that che is related to the men who con-
troll Standard Oil, and has made millions
in association with them"
Yet the Globe-Democrat says she pos
sesses the ability to apparently unite in
common cause the incongruous elements
of the Senate and direct them along a
common channel" The Globe Democrat
is now admitting what has for years been
charged by Democrats. Maybe Mr.. Aid
rich's success is not entirely due to his
ability. Maybe the elements of the Sen
ate which Mr.. Aldrich controls are not
80 ''incongruous' as some would have us
believe. Certainly he is not the only
member of the United States Senate who
has "capitalistic affiliations" Why is
President Roosevelt silent about Aldrich ?
Does any sane man believe that Aldrich
is a supporter of the Roosevelt poll
cies?" He is the chief trust and corpora
ton agent in the Senate.
Mr. Taft's campaign manager says
nothing about Aldrich.

Difficult to BuIIdOze Them This

Walter Wellman, writing to the Chi

says:
'It is significant that the Republican

to a lesser extent in 1900 But it is ad-

not much disposed to exert themselves.
Most of them are opposed to Bryan, and
some of them think his election would
be bad for business, but few of them are

factory manager, that has played out

"Mr. Taft is a pronounced revisionist-
has been one for over two years. He
wants the schedules revised and cut
down." says the Milwaukee Sentinel. Then
why doesn't he say SO? All he has said
is that he believes some of the sched-
ules are too high and others too low.
