WHAT is A DEMOCRAT?

Because some members of the minor
ity in the house at Washington are sup
porting the protective principle there is
renewed interest in the time worn ques-
ton, what is a Democrat" The
theory of some Democratic organs and
leaders appears to be that Democrat
necessarily is man who will vote
against any and every proposition advo-
Gated by the Republican party. IN
fortunately if this were so there must
be many occasions when Democrats, for
the poor privilege of maintaining party
regularity, would be placed in positions
of actual hostility to legislation that is
essential to proper conduct of the gov
eminent or the defense of the national
honor, and these are absurdities to
which no sensible Democrat will go, nor
will his party either. Why, then, should
a Democratic representatives congress
sent there to carry out the known wish
es of his constituency and with a thor
ough comprehension of their needs,
'stulify himself and violate the dictates
of his own conscience by opposing a
manifestly beneficial piece of legislation
simply because it is fathered and being
pressed to passage by the Republican
majority?
The great and good Mr.. BRYAN
knows that, underlying all other reasons
for his three defeats in the race for the
presidency, was antagonism to the pro-
tective tariff. 1t was not only free sill
yer, free Filpinos and government own
ership that hit him, but his leaning to-
ward free trade and the conviction in
the minds of the American business
man and workingman that, once he got
into the White House, he would COM
mand the enforcement of his economic
policies, with all their dangers. And
the fact of the matter is that the hand
ful of Democrats in the house now at
variance with their party on certain
features of the PAYNE bill do not by any
means include all the Democratic pro-
techonists. There are others, but they
lack courage to say so and act accord
ingly. Hence if the process of casting
out is followed bit further, by the
frenzied tariff for revenue clique,
Democracy will find itself split so wide
omen that the hattie of 1912 will he a
dreary formalitY.

SUGAR SEASON CLOSED.
Largest Maple Sugar Crop in History
of Somerset County.

The warm, sunshiny days that ush-
cred in the present week, closed the
maple sugar season with a rush and all
the sugar-makers were very glad of it.
For once the sugar-makers got their
full satisfaction of sugar-making, and
never before did they reap such an enor-
nous crop. The quality is of the finest,
too, but the price is not as high as the
producers would like to see it. They
say the merchants do not want to pay
them more than about cents per pound
for their sugar, while the purchasers
who buy maple sugar from the retail
dealers complain of the high prices they
are required to pay for it. Our local
retailers are asking nine cents per pound
for the best quality of maple sugar,
while in Connelsville. Bedford and other
towns in some of our neighboring coun-
ties that produce little or no maple
sugar, it sells at prices ranging from
123 to Is cents per pound, according to
quality.
Much sugar and syrup is being held
by local producers who expect to real
ize higher prices later on. but whether
the higher prices will materialize, re-
mains to be seen. Some people think
prices are more apt to decline than to
advance, and itineed surprise no one if
such proves to be the case.
Some enormous yields are being re-
ported by local sugar PRODUCERS. Elijah
LivengOOd, as usual stands at the head
of the list. His crop this year reaches
total of about 30, 600 pounds, and had
he opened his camp early and tapped
his trees as heavily as some producers
do, he probably would have made 80, 900
pounds. David Keim reports a yield of
5000 pounds, and yields ranging from
5000 to TO- 900 pounds, are quite COM
mon in this locality this year. -Somer-

In MemOrlam.

After a short and very severe illness
Bro. c. w. Moore was called to his re-
ward in the great beyond, and his death
has cast a shadow of gloom over the en-
tire membership of Oak Lodge No. 8,
|. o. o. f. We scarcely know how to
fill the vacancy made by his departure,
yet we bow in humble submission to the
Advise Father who has never made a
mistake.
Bro. Charlie proved himself to be a
true friend and brother, always greet
ing the brethren with a smile and al
ways brought sunshine in the lodge room
as well as out of it, ever seeking to ad-
vance the cause of Odd Fellowship we
shall ever miss his wise counsel and
friendly advice as an Odd Fellow
He was not only true Odd Fellow
but consistent christian since early
boyhood, had many intimate friends,
but loved and respected by all who knew
him. We feel very keenly our loss but
our loss is his eternal gain.
To his sorrowing sister and near
friends we extend our sympathy and
commend them to the God that led our
brother to final victory. The Psalmist
DAVID has said MARK the perfect man,
and behold the upright, for the end Of
that man is peace" We feel that this
scripture was verified in the life and
death of our deceased brother, and we
trust that every member of Oak Lodge
may honor the same God that Bro.
Charlie honored by living similar life
and enjoy a similar triumphant death,
in order that we as lodge may meet as
an unbroken brotherhood around our
Fathers throne in heaven.

FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
THE WHAT ISSUE.

The Democratic party leaders of this
state by formal vote have declared the
suffrage amendment to be the vital is
sue of the campaign. Very well, issue
clearly stated can be clearly fought.
Heretofore, let the voter remember,
the party leaders have refrained from
such a sweeping declaration. 1t has
been an issue, but not the vital issue.
AS inevitably as the course of fate the
buncombe policy has woven its meshes
about the Democrats until it has be-
come the rigid and absolute policy of
the party. The city Democrats wrig-
gled and lodged, lodged and wrlggled.
They have now placed the amendment
above the ticket. They have sworn
allegiance to it as the one supreme and
necessary condition for Democratic sue
cess and Democratic life.
Let the voter mark the emphasis
placed upon the amendment. 1t is
officially declared to be the vital issue.
This means that there is no other vital
issue. This means that the candidates
are subordinated to the success of the
amendment. The tail to the party kite
has become more important than the
kite itself. For the first time in its
history the Democratic party in Mary
land has declared that its very life, its
future existence as party cauable of
registering success, is dependent upon
the elimination of a section of the vot-
ers of the state. For the first time it has
gone on record that only by the suprem-
acy Of the disfranchisement issue can
the party hope to hold its own.
What does this vital issue mean to
the interests of the state in general?
1t means, as has been repeatedly said
the subordination of the political indie
pendence of the voters to the shackles
of a party. The people of Maryland
are called upon to face the disfranchise-
ment issue as the issue upon which the
party pretendS its future destinies rest
This is all pretense. The Democratic
party is not dependent upon the elimin-
alton of the colored voter and the con-
troll of the foreign-born voter save for
making the wrestling of the state from
its control forever impossible. Is this
an issue of vital importance to the
voters of the state? Certainly it is
vital in the sense of being an issue
vitality important for them to over
whelm. The Democrats are playing
their disfranchisement card as a trump
card, but their bluff will be called. The
one trump card in the next campaign
will be decent policies and unfettered
franchise and the preservation of the
balance of power in the hands of the
voters. This will be held by the Repub-
leans.

land is going to give state aid to the en-
enlargement of old maids, it may as

of old immigrant that comes along or

ONN VI bNSlliCSS dbOuI lliC year AOOU.
We may be wrong, but it appears to
US that the only real and sufficient rem
edy for an old maid is for her to get
married. This may seem shocking to
the refined sensibilities of the Boston
spinisters-perhaps they never thought
of anything SO crude and common; per
haps marriage is not good form" in
that section. If so, we beg their par
don for having mentioned the subject
in the presence of ladies'. But here in
Baltimore and all through the south it
is satisfaction. OF course. we have
some old maids here, but not enough to
constitute a problem. And those
that are here are never far removed
from the marriage line and canget mar
ried any time they choose. But 100, 600
New England spinisters is appalling.
1t is problem and danger that only a
Roosevelt would dare tackle, and then
he would be likely to get badly scratch
ed by hatpins, hairpins and safeties.
