ment What the party wants now is more issues on which we can all agree. Fewer on which we disagree. Because we have met with many re- verses in the last 40 years we must not accept the impression that the democracy is inherently weak. De spite our disappodntments; despite those reverses; despite our compara- tive lack of funds; despite the align ment of great financial structures by shrewd party management from fortresses of public ofice-with the enemy; despite that other power of special privilege exercised so gener- ously by the party in power, the democracy in the recent campaign boiled nearly one-half of the votes cast for the two great parties. When we contemplate that about 6,4oe.0Oo men walked to the polls on election day. facing almost certain defeat. and recorded themselves with the de mocracy, there is something in the party worth working for; something worth sticking to; something to fight

PURIFYING ElEcTlCN1
 .N STATE OF COLORADO.

Colorado has taken a great step forward in election matters. The re cent session of the legislature of that state passed law providing for the payment of the state of share of the election expenses of the candidates. Speaking of the hill, which was re gently signed by the governor, the Denver News says:
 Colorado takes step far in ad- vance of other states by enacting this law, which is one of tbe most drastic ever drafted on the question of cleo tions. Slush funds can be eliminated
 if the law is enforced. Corporation officials will find themselves facing
 the penitentiary if they violate it.
 Candidates found guilty of receiving campaign contributions from sources
 other than those provided in the law also will see the inside of prison
 cells. Under the new law which was
 introduced in the senate by Senator
 Campbell and in the house by Repre-
 sentative Weiser, the state gives each party in the next general election 25 cents for each vote cast for governor by that party at the last election One-half of this goes to the county chairman. according to votes cast The only other contributors can be tte candidates themselves. and then contributions are limited to 40 pei
 cent of the first years salary, or 2;
 per cent of the fees in case the of flee to which they aspire is on tha revenue basis. Under the new law l the political parties will receive thu following amounts for campaign ex penses at the next election: Demo crats, s92.229: republicans. s29.7o3

"A TIM ELY WARNING,

''Tariff reform will not be settled until it is honestly and fairly set tied, in the interest and to the bene- fit of patient and long-suffering people. The trust and combinations the communism of pelf-whose machinations have prevented us from reaching the success we deserv- ed, should not be forgotten nor for given"
 These words. written by Grover Cleveland in a letter to MT. Catchings of Mississippi, just after he witness ed the mutilated Wilson bill become law on August 2s, 1894, read almost as if they were penned for use in May, 1909.
 Senate Boss Aldrich and the oth- CT members of the upper house now engaged in framing a tariff bill may well afford to take day on and de vote it to the reading of this timely warning which speaks like a voice from the grave. Every thought ex-
 pressed in the quoted paragraph ap- plies to the situation as it exists to-
 day. It may well be said, therefore.
 that it reads as if written for today.

THE NATIONAL MAGAZINE.

MAGAZINE.
 The first issue Of the National Magazine. the new magazine launch cd by Norman E. Mack in New York in the interests Of the democratic party of the nation. has been receiy- ed. It is bristling with democratic thought from the first to the last page. In it's pages are articles from the distinguished democrats of the nation. Hon. Chaup Clark writes of s'The Present Situation;" Gov. Mar shal of Indiana, takes "The Conduct of a Campaign for his subject; "The Democracy of the West heads an article by ex-Senatrr T. NJ. Patterson of Colorado; Judge Alton B. Parker writes under the heading The Tariff. Moral Issue and so it goes through the thirtyfour large pages of this new democratic champion.
 Following is au extract from the introductory article in the first issue Of the new magazine:
 Representing this new monthly magazine to the democracy of the na- tion I find myself revolving over and over that portion of the Declaration of Independence which tells us that a decent regard for the opinions of mankind requires that we give req son for a nev departure from any long settled policy And yet, it has been apparent to us all for so many years that the democratic cause Is handicapped and the democratic home neglected through the lack of party publications it is hardly nee essary to point out that this publica- fion has both g field and mission.
 Nothing has appealed more strong 1y to me in the passing years than this problem. I have not overlooked the fact that meeting it means to me at a time of life when I should per haps be beginning to look to eessa tion of business cares and to greater personal recreation-the launching oi a new enterprise, the acceptance o new duties, the expenditure of nc small amount of money with th' usual business chances. the worry the time and the responsibility.
 say. I have not overlooked thos things. and. measuring them all. be iieve the National Monthly will prov itself a complete recompense fo every sacrifice which those associai ed with me in subordinate capacitie and I. myself, may be called upon [ make in it's behalf We naturally e, pect democratic support We war this publication to become syn posium of the democratic thought ( the nation. We want Texas to kno' each month what they are doing an saying and thinking about in Ne York. We want Maine to exchane views with California: washingto with Georgia, and all the rest.
 The republican party has a gre; many such mediums. They are ( value-yes. of great value-to th party. How great we may kno when we appreciate that the natur' tendency of an American citizen is be democratic, and he need only l shown that the democratic party
 really democratic to secure his SUI port. To 60 that ufll be the purpos and the mission of this magazin While I have very pronounced view on questions of party policy and pr pose from time to time to give e rression to them, do not purpose enter upon a campaign of disagre
