circus owners--and this belief was naturally abb

merchant opera house manager, and the other
for the circus man; and that the only way to cir
cumvent the wicked and designing newspaper
to trick him into giving his real schedule of
rates before the character of the visitor

was in many instances justified in his belief that
the newspaper trying TO give him the
worst of it. Twenty years ago many excellent
newspapers outside of the big cities had very
satisfactory and auctuating scale of advertising
rates, and II battle Of wits between the agent
and the advertising manager to see whether the
card rates should be increased from so to rs per
cent reduced in proportion. Many newspaper
men undoubtedly regarded the circus a sort OF
legitimate enterprise that should be taxed to the
limit and for which there could not possibly be
any fixed rates of advertising. The existence of
even limited number of newspapers of this char

guild on its guard. and to compel the circus men
to indulge in subterfuges and trickery that, while
in measure reprehensible, were, very often anus

The Roots of Democracy.

If any apology were necessary for
speaking of Thomas Jefferson on the
anniversary of his birth, it might be
found in the fact that his principles of
politics and government seem to have
gone out of fashion during the seven
years of spectacular personal admins
tration which knew not Jefferson and
hated his politics.
But good fashions never die. In the
matter of clothes they are, with much
regularity, revived as new when they
have grown so old as to have been for
gotten. 1t cannot be said that Jeffer-
sonian Democracy has ever gone COM
pletely out of fashion. Even the masses
of the Republican party have contained
very large leaven of it, and evidences
abound that large increase of its pop
ularity is at hand.
Events quickly proved that Jefferson
was right when, shortly after his cleo
ton to the Vice Presidency in 1897, he
expressed the confident belief that the
great mass of the American people adj
hered to the principles of the Democrat
ic party as opposed to those of the Fed
eralists. The saying is as true of the
American people to-day as it was more
than hundred years ago.
The American people still insist upon
equal rights for all, with special priv
ileges to none. The Republican party,
with its monopoly tariffs, its clamor for
bounties, and it's favoritism to special
interests, has carried the contrary prac-
tice to an extreme against which there
is widespread revolt.
The American people are devoted to
representative government, which, by
executive dictation to Congress, by eX-
ecutive disregard of the Constitution
and the laws as well as through the
usurpation of the legislative powers of
the House of Representatives by few
self-appointed leaders, the Republican
party has done its best to overthrow.
The American people believe in a
Government which robs neither the rich
nor the poor, which gives no man an
unfair advantage over another in the
enjoyment of life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness, which protects every
man in his rights and leaves him to
work out his destiny with as little inter
ference by Government as may be neces-
sary to restrain him from injuring his
fellows.
The roots of Jeffersonian Democracy
strike deep in the American people
themselves. Maintaining the State and
Federal Governments in their full force
and efficiency and adhering scrupulous-
ly to its own vital principles, the Dem
ocratic party will take hold upon the
people which nothing can break. st.
