tne same Kind of freedom that was the Joyful possession
" .ner Iorefathers. One Of the arguments that was
. against the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for
notner term was that he had gathered unto himself
nosI Oh the forces Of government and that he had alb
aoioeu almost wholly the larger part of the functions of
.e ieslslauVe branch. 1t was a common enough thing
III washington last year and the year before to hear the
Worus muttered about "one-man power and the "repub-
lics rapid road to despotism." Somehow or other there
seemed TO be a feeling that this was utterly new talk
ana that the supposed danger existed for the first time
IN the history Of the country.
Two years ago a New York paper with an eye on
Roosevelt opened its columns to a discussion of "Cae-
sarlsm." The same New York paper years ago saw
daily and nightly for wearisome month after wearisome
month the ghost of "Caesarism." There is nothing new
under the sun, even in the matter of ghosts.
When the Democrats of the country got together in
convention in Baltimore in the year 1872 Caesarism and
Capitalization stalked hourly through the hall arm in
arm before the eyes of the ~affrighted delegates. The
Liberal Republicans had held a convention in Cincin-
natl and had nominated Horace Greeley and B. Gratz
Brown for president and vicepresident. The Democrats
had assembled at Baltimore to indorse the Liberal Re-
publicans' ticket and to say things in their platform
about General Grant and the Republican party generally.
No one probably will deny today that there were a
hundred and one things In Grants administration bad
enough to have had some words not of praise said about
them, but instead Of actually specifying this thing or
that thing the speakers of the Democratic convention
were so carried away by the fear that the republic was
to go the way and that an empire was to come into its
own that they lost track of legislative matters that might
have been criticised and held up to make the voters
afraid the crowned wrath Of "Caesarism."

that all the constitutional bulwarks were peing sweep
away. When the minds of those who see Things sot
normal and the eyesight became clear, Caesarlsm anu
GENERALIZATION were found somewhere FAR down ne VIM
and the constitutional bulwarks were found 70 pc as
strong ribbed and as iron bound as ever. me country
always goes to the devil in a thousand different ways
just before the delegates to the great national conVen-
tons are gathered together.
In the Liberal Republican convention of 1872, held
in the city Of Cincinnati, there were things said about
General Grant which made the things said in the baltl-
more convention a little later seem tame. When Grants
name was mentioned in the convention the first time
every man Kissed and kept on kissing for the period
usually allotted to the applause following the mention
of some favored one. 1t was only seven years before
this that Grant had received the surrender of Lee at
Appomattox and yet here in a northern convention Of
the name of the great soldier was greeted with the
Kisses not only of contempt but of hatred.
In the year 1892 the Democratic convention was held
in a building erected for the purpose on the lake front
in Chicago. Any man who attended this Democratic
gathering will emember the building-"the Wigwam,"
as 1t was called. The roof of the Wigwam leaked. The
smallest hole in it was the skylight. 1t was at the Wig
wan convention that Grover Cleveland was nominated
for the third time for the Office Of president. In the ho
tells for two or three days before the convention there
were scores of men who were given over to the task
of telling everybody who would listen that If the con-
vention were to commit the objectionable offense of
nominating Grover Cleveland defeat awaited the Demo
cratic party and if by any chance defeat were averted
the election of Cleveland would bring disaster to the
country.

the fire water introduced by the latter

DEGENERACY OF THE INDIAN

Alcoholism is a very potent factor.
The white mans fire water has been
very largely responsible for the rapid
physical deterioration Of the Indians.
Theoretically 1t is illegal to supply
alcoholic liquor to an Indian; prac-
tically he has little or no difficulty
in procuring all he desires. AS might
be expected. there is a very great
amount Of immoderate drinking.
