Turn the Traitors Out.

Whatever merit Democratic plat
for may hereafter possess, or how
ever faithfully it would be carried
out should the party be given the
power to enact legislation comport-
ing Herewith, it will be held up to
ridicule with telling effect by Re-
publican speakers and writers-and
not without ample reason. The
stronger it's '.planks,' the greater
it's insincerity Will appear. An hon
est man, even though misguided, al
ways commands respect; but an in
sincere man, however brilliant, is
hopelessly handicapped in an effort
to gain the confidence Of his fellow
men. The same is true with politi-
cal parties.
So long as those representa-
tives" are in congress or are permit
ted to participate In the party
counciles, the Democratic party will
be struggling under burden which
it can not successfully bear. What
assurance to the country can it offer,
under such circumstances, that its
ante-election declarations are more
than idle promise designed alone
to influence votes? What we'll in
formed voter will regard such ap-
peals as anything but an insult to

out the campaign, and what crush

polls!
Senator Bailey, of Texas, who was
mixed up in Standard Oil scandal
sometime ago, now presumes to ridi-
Guile the argument that platforms are
binding. and in the same breath, with
apparent pride claims the authorship
of the 1896 Democratic platform.
Could anything be more inconsistent?
An honorable and consistent senator
would have resigned his commission
rather than repudiate his party's'plat-
form in such an emphatic manner,
even in less crucial period of that
party's career But Bailey does not
seem to be built that way. His
course shows that when fellow
starts on the wrong road he is very
! apt to continue to walk in it.
The proper course to pursue, and
the only one that can be followed
with reasonable hope of success, in
! the effort to relieve the Democratic
F, party OF this stigma which has been
! thrust upon it in such ccwardly
, manner, is for the rank and file to
| take the matter in hand and retire
the traitors-do it with the minimum
delay and maximum emphasis. I'm

Il is often said that everyone is
more or less superstitious. Probably
that is so, but it is to be hoped
that it is less rather than more.
But the Credulity Of many people due
to their superstition makes them the
easy prey of clairvoyants, mediums
and other charlatans without NUM-
Der. Not long ago a woman gave a
prOmisory note for $50. 900 to 4 medi
um who represented that with that
amount in her possession she could
avert great danger threatening the
woman and which danger had been
supernaturally revealed to her. If
the credulous woman has been dis
illusioncd by the loss of so much
money it is a good thing. but it was
an expensive experience.

From the evidence given at the
Gould trial it would seem that it
takes about one hour to properly ar
range the hair Of a so-called society
woman, and several more hours to
dress her for company. Certainly
fine feathers ought to make fine
birds. yet We venture to say that a
woman thus furnished and 2owned
wtth so much care does not present
nearly as pleasing an appearance as
the woman who with far less eXpendi-
tuve of time and money is becoming
ly dressed. for in her case there is
g naturalneSs that attracts. while
with the other there is an artificial
ness that may dazzle but does not
please.

Republican party is to offer the peo-
pie a stone when they have asked
for bread, then the election for con-
gress in 1910 and the election for
the presidency in 1912 will tell in
unmistakable terms how the indig-
nant people of this country rebuke
the leaders that have been faithless
to their interests. And the Republi-
can party can thank Aldrich and his
associates for its humiliation. There
need be no demagogery about such
talk as this, no appeal to prejudice,
no play to the galleries. If the
events of the past seven or eight
years have clearly demonstrated any,
thing at all to the intelligent COM

The Charleston Evening Post says
Senator Aldrich has the merit Of
frankness, at least. He does not go
in for cant to any great extent. The
making of a tariff that will benefit
his clients, the great capitalistic in

little enough pains to hide it. The
protection of these interests from
any menacing legislation is his par

ROOSEVELT GIVES
 ADVICE ON JAPAN

Chicago, May 6.-Ex-President Roosevelt look that it is the duty of America to wait and see whether or not Japan suc- ceeds in preventing the immigration of this country of any appreciable number of Japanese of the laboring and small trading classes. If Japan fails, he writes. this government must protect itself by treaty or legislation; but, he adds:
 Tt would be doubly incumbent upon us to take the action in the way that would provoke the least possible friction and cause the least possible hard feeing."
 Although, he asserts, Americans have the right to say what immigrants shall come to their shores, they are powerless to enforce that right against any nation that chooses to disregard their wishes, unless i've continue to build up and main tain first-class fighting navy"
 The professional peace advocate, he con tinues, who opposed the lupbuilding of the navy would place the United States where it would be at the mercy of any nation which wished to disregard its de- sires to control immigration, protect the Panama canal. or take any stand for in- ternational honor or righteousness.
 MT Roosevelt adds that those we'll meaning but fatuous advocates of peace who would try to prevent the upbuilding of our navy utterly msread the temper of their countrymen,,s
 America would fight, he says, whether prepared or not, and "all peace advocates could do would be to prevent this country from being successful in the war"

The most remarkable development the world has ever known IS the growth of automobile building. It is but a scant dozen years since we first began to hear of the "horseess carriage" but since then this has become the first industry of France and ranks well up among the greatest industries of Germany, Italy, England and the United States in the volume of trade.
 No less remarkable than the growth of the industry has been the improvement of the automobile in quality and the value offered for the price. Starting as mil lionaire's toy" which could never be de- pended upon to run more than an hour at a time, it has come to be a common vehicle of both pleasure and business; can be purchased at much less than half the price of few years ago, and with the cost of repairs and upkeep reduced by about two-thirds
 It has brought out a new crop of me- chanical engineers. The man who could design a steam engine to operate sats- factorily on a perfectly firm and level foundation or a locomotive to run over a smooth steel track, found ft a very difficult problem to design a power plant that was to be jostled in all sorts of positions and pounded over all kinds of roads and still stand up to its working, day after day. The demand for better materials. better hands. and better brains
 
 engineering propositions that would never have been dreamed of ten years ago have been successfully worked out in the automobile. while there has been brought about perfection of detail of construc- ton that is amazing.
 As recent as five years ago one was not safe in taking a journey of 25 miles In an automobile with any. assurance that the return trip would be made &C., cording to schedule and as contemplated. and yet today the modern motor car is remarkable for it's reliability and the surprisingly small amount of trouble 1t is heir to.
 The motor has proved its worth by the showing which 1t has made in comparison with every other means of transportation first COSY, maintenance and results considered.
 The automobile business proved in a very unique way It's stability and the fact that the motor car was not a fad by the way 1t weathered the financial stringency. While most lines of manu- facturers were either curtailed or entire ly stopped the motor car makers seem to have found it necessary to make use of all the capacity available and there is no doubt but what a ready market will be found for all standard cars which are produced during the buying season.
