Discussing democracy and

Discussing democracy and the
tariff Norman Z. Mack in his maya
zine, the National Monthly, says;
The fruit that this tariff harvest
should yield to democracy viii not
be gathered in its entirety unless
the party lines in congress shall be
hghtened and intelligent, sane effort
made to carry out the party pledges
of a revision downward especially
upon the necessities OF life and such
goods IS are sold cheaper abroad
than at home. The public will, of
course, hold to account the republic
can party in whose hands is the
making OF this tariff schedule, but
the people. and especially the rank
and file of the democracy. cannot be
unmindful of the severe blow to
popular hopes delivered by some of
our democrats in congress. This we
know, the democratic national con-
vention declared itself in favor of
reduction in the duty on all the ne
cessites of life, As to lumber the
convention called for the repeal of
that duty. Also, in convention we de
manded the repeal Of the duty on
wood pulp and logs. That national
convention represented the demo-
cratic voters of the nation. And they
gave expression to the party doe
trine. It is not to be expected that
democrats will accept the views of
any individual statesman in prefer
ence to the party platform on ques-
tons with which the party was fully
as familiar then as il is today

CIRCUS PERFORMERS.
The Reai Dangers With Which They
Arc Concerned.

The Individual point OF view Of the
circus performer toward his work Is
full OF surprises, Rarely if ever is he
worried over the things that the audi
ence imagiues make him uneasy and
never about his own equipment Of
nerve. muscle and judgment.
The bareback rider worries about
his horse. for the slightest deviation
from the animals customary course
and gait ruins harmony between
horse and rider. upon which depends
the success and even the life Of the
performer. The man on the trapeze
is not al all disturbed at being so high
more security he feels that In case OF
accident he will have time enough in
stinctively to twist his body into the
right position for falling into the net.
What worries him most is the fear OF
some unsupported weakness In his APP
paratus.
The animal trainer is more afraid Of
an accidental scratch from n good ma
tured but blood poisoning claw than Of
any actual conflict with an angry ami
NAL. More than that. he has real AZ
lection for his animals and diSlikcs the
stern necessity OF Furnishing them. The
very clown is not so much pleased by

LIGHT ON A DARK SUBJECT

In order to indicate the PROBABILITY
of a prejudiced attitude of United
states senators toward the industries
of the country, by reason OF personal
business interests or connections, in
the discussion and vote on the tariff
bill. the New York Evening Post has
made an investigation which is in
teresting and important.
The record of each member of the
senate was gone into. Here's the way
the senate lines up on business and
professions, according to the Post;
Farmers. 10.
Merchants, 4.
Corporation lawyers, "a
Lawyers without special leanings,
40.
Bankers and holders of bank
stocks, 81.
Manufacturers, ! |.
Holders of railway stocks, 10.
Holders of industrial stocks, %.
Holders of steamship interests, 6.
Holders of mining interests, II.
Holders of lumber interests, 8.
Connected with public utility cor
| porations, s.
| Owners of large tracts of land, 8.
Rated as poor men, 10.
Rated as millionaires, at least %.
| Indefinitely reported to have lean
! ings toward corporations, 6.
This list clearly spells property
rights" Read it and see if in it you
can find the words human right.
/ We do not have to be told that
! the United States senate grinds
daily in the interest of the special
! ew, but it is interesting to know to
what extent our Representatives" ia
| vor themselves when they are favor
ing the rich and powerful in general.
The Post mentions forty lawyers
who are without special leanings. "
We believe that is misleading. The
very fact that they are men of the
written law is an indication of their
leaning. for the bulk of written law
serves property rights as against hui
man rights, and the average lawyer
thinks that way. SO the forty lawyers
may be safely added to the twenty
seven corporation lawyers, the TWEEN
ty-one bankers, the twenty-five mil
lionaires. the merchants and manu-
facturers and others in the list who
! by the natural order of things stand
! for property.
! Ten men are rated as poor Per
! haps these ten of the whole num-
! Der, being poor, will understand the
'article appearing in this newspaper
today in which a reporter recites his
experience with the head of the bee
trust, whom the reporter asked
why are the prices of meat Sc
high?'
Maybe these ten poor" senator:
know of the struggle of the aver
age poor man to keep his family in
respectable circumstances with the
prices of life necessities higher than
ever beofre and wages about station,
iary. Maybe these ten poor senators
realize what tariff revision upward
REALLY means to the majority Of Am
erican citizens. We know that some
/ of them do. They are, of course, a
/ hopeless minority.

being, and continued; Some people
say they are too humble, too insig-
nificant, to have any influence. This
is mistake There is no place on
earth where you can go where your
Influence will not tell. You cant get
beyond the pos. ibility of eXerting an
Influence over some one. You may
meet and speak to a person whom
yon never knew. When you separate
some impress is left on your life. 1t
may be a pleasant impression or it
may be an unpleasant one. These in
visible streams of this mysterious
power are constantly going out OF
our lives into the intricate machin-
cry Of other lives. This is an influ-
ence that Incorporates itself in 9TH
ers Wherever it comes into your life
it stays there and it goes to record
in your human spirit If some OF you
people could realize Just what am
driving at it would scare you almost
to death If you could only realize
that the curse words you hurl out OF
your mouth every day go on record
to live against you it would make
YOU more careful about your speech.
All of mans experiences in this
life all of his sins 20 to record on
his soul. | want to tell you folks that
YOU are fooling with something that
is dangerous. Your thoughts and ac-
lions are going to be recorded
against you.
Illustrating how easy it is for one
person to make an impression upon
another the preacher told how he
sang into a monograph for Next
can preacher. After the song had
cylinder he was given an opportunity
to hear himself sing. He said every
tone was recorded just like it was
uttered He said the machine could
only initiate what was put in it.
He said he had heard a great deal
about the books that were to be
opened in the day Of judgment, He
gave it as his belief that he would
be judged by the book spoken of in
the New Testament in which it is
said man is to be judged by what
he does.
| He said man made mistake if
he thought he could go through the
world and hide from God
Near the close of the sermon the
| preacher addressed a few remarks to
! parents. He wanted to know what
/ the fathers and mothers were put
] ting into the lives of their children.
I'm tell you what it is he said.
Your influence is as good as
your character, but it is no better"
The preacher then took shot at
the man who is trying to reach
! heaven on his morality. He said this
! kind of man was special agent of
satan.
Reverting TO the text he said: mo
man lives unto himself. He cant do
! it, | don't care how much he tries.
/ Why. a man cant die unto himself.
Death does not end it all"
