THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS.
In Regards to Kennedy Has Changed
From RidicuIe to Misrepre-
sensations.

Montrose Journal: During the
campaign OF four and two years ago
the Democratic press carried on a
campaign of ridicule, claiming that
Kennedy was too small to go to con-
gress. The papers in the three large
places tried to have their readers be-
lieve that man, coming from town
like Montrose was bound to be too
small for congress. At that time we
informed them that Kennedy would
make good but we were too small for
them to pay any attention to, but
now they admit that Kennedy Is one
of the strong men in congress or at
least give him credit of being in
Judge Smiths class and the judge has
been one of the leaders in congress
for several years.
Why does the Democratic press say
such things about Kennedy? Be
cause they think they can get few
progressive votes.
The FIT Madison Democrat has al
ways been unfair Mr.. Kennedy,
when making his first race for con,
gress promised Fort Madison that if
it was in his power he would get
them a government building. The
Democrat said he was too small, that
he could get them nothing, but FIT.
Madison received the appropriation
and Kennedy got it for them, still the
Democrat tries to give the credit for
IT to some ono p1cn
Be fair Brother Roberts, for once,
1t may help your cause, at least it
would not hurt to try to be good, you
! did nothing but make misrepresenta-
! lions in the last two campaigns and
you gained nothing and 1t would do
your candidate good to see you run
a good clean campaign, as that is
what he is doing, at least we think
so, neither Mr.. Kennedy or the writer
has ever said one word against Mr..
Pollard.
The Democrat belongs to you, YOU
can say what you please in its col
umns but we wish to say In reply to
the article which you are carrying
every day, giving Allison credit for

First Census Proposal In ENGLAND
Raised a Fine Row.
1t was in 1853 that IL proposal to
count the people was first made
Thomas Potter. son Of the archbishop

the people and Of the total number of
marriages. births and deaths and also
OF the total number of poor receiving
aims from every parish and extra paro-
chial place in Great Britain" 1t was
inevitable, of course, that directly this
proposal was made the precedent Of
King David should be quoted. And
many were the jeremiads as to the al
Tentative evils which would befall the
country. Those submitted to David
were mild in comparison. Mr.. Thorn
ton. member for York city. said:
Il did not believe that there was any
set of men or indeed any individual OF

new bill will direct the imposition OF

a very few words will make 1t the
most effectual engine Of rapncity and
oppression that was ever used against
an Injured people. Moreover. an an.

Matthew Ridley. another opposing
member. added that his constituents
looked on the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol

bill passed the commons only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. Not
until 1900 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion 1t was
brought to successful issue. The

There is peculiar political situa-
ton over at Muncie, Ind, where rival
candidates for justice of the peace
are trying to elect each other. Isaiah
Duddleston, Republican candidate IN
Delaware township, is quoted as say
ing: ANY party that did not have
any more sense than to nominate me
for the position of justice ought to
see elected man like Joseph Zent.
ner, even though he is Democrat .
He is represented as working hard
for the election Of his opponent, and
Mr.. Zentner is working just as hard
to elect the Republican candidate
The campaign has been so warm that
both have been indulging in person
alities-each decrying his own abili.
ties and lauding his opponent. The
campaign is no joke with the two
candidates, although it affords humor
for the entire county, as the office
pays little and would interfere with
the business interests of the candi-
dates.

Why Living Cost Is High
L Every Voter Who if Wishes to Learn Facts,
Carefully Read and Consider the Following.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: when
was speaking in Buffalo fourteen
years ago speaking for Mr.. McKin-
ley against Mr.. Bryan, our opponents
neld the Republicans re ponsible be.
cause prices were too low. Now the
complaint is that prices are too high.
AS Mr.. Stimson pointed out the other
night, the rise in prices is world.
wide" These were Colonel Roose-
yelt's words in an address at Buffalo
two days ago. In an address at st.
Louis Mr.. Bartholdt,. speaking from
recent experience, says prices are as
high in Berlin as they are in the
United States. This is the testimony
of men all over the country who have
been abroad in recent times. 1t is
borne out by the financial columns of
the great newspapers of London,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna and other Euro
pean capitals. Samuel Gompers, who
was in Europe for several months in
1909, says If the American worker
wants to live on the same scale as
his European prototype he can do it
as cheaply here as there. The com
forts which the American working
man, even the recent arrival from
Europe, wants in This country cost
just as much in Liverpool, Hamburg,
Havre, Or any other big town in
Europe as they do in New York, Bos-
ton, or st. Louis. SO much for the
Democratic pretense that the Repub-
lican party is responsible for the high
cost of living IN the United States.
The Massachusetts State Commits
sion on the Cost of Living has recent
ty made it's report which Democratic
newspapers and stump orators would
do well to consult. That body which
is non-partisan, points out several
reasons for the increase in cost of
living. The primary COST it says,
''of the worldwide advance of prices
since 1897 is the increase of the gold
supply, which has reduced the pur-
chasing power of money and brought
about corresponding increase OF
values measured in money in all the
leading commercial states In the
United States, it declares, the in
crease has been accelerated by lex.
travagance, both public and private,
and OF wastage, both individual and
social" The increase here, too, has
been aided by the drift of people to
the cities which has had a tendency |
to reduce the supply. SO far as re-
CARDS foods of all kinds. This concen |
.ration in the cities has been accom-
panied by general advance in the
of living, which has created /
4 demand for articles which were for. |
nerly considered luxuries to be in I
1ulged in only by the rich. 1t adds:
With regard to the tariff, the trusts
and the labor unions, which have
,een declared to be either primary i
,r contributory causes of the high
lost of living, the commission finds
hat none of these factors can be re-
,arded as direct and active cause

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

Henry Clews reports in his latest
financial letter that in the general
business situation there Is little
change. Confidence has received con.
siderable stimulus from the fact that
the farmers are having another good
year, but in nearly all departments OF
industry there is spirit of hesitation
which still keeps the volume OF
business below year ago. The
question of cost continues TO he the
great problem in all lines OF business,
not only among consumers, but equal
ly with producers and distributors.
Many staple articles OF commerce
have shown a declining tendency

Of the recent increase of prices" The
commission further cites the fact
that prices have risen and fallen ov-
er long periods without relation to
changes in duties, that they have ris-
en- in England under free trade. and
that they have risen in the United
States ON articles not touched by the
tariff in any way.
Here we have a disclosure of san
| ity and truth to offset the wild
charges Of Democratic demagogues.
The tariffs connection with high
prices, so far as it has any connec-
ton, lies in the circumstance that it
has diversified industry, has increas-
ed wages, and has given the worker
more money to buy things with. This
has impelleu him to eat more and
better food, to wear better clothes,
comforts for his family and for him
self. OF course, this is an argument in
favor of the tariff but Democratic
writer's and orators shun this aspect
of protection. AS the Democrats
have emphasized the high cost Of
living in the United States, the truth
ought to be told as an offset to Demo
cratic Misrepresentation. No matter
in what shape it comes, or on what
issue, the truth will aid the Republic
cans. For most of the time in the
past half century the Republicans
have been in control of the govern
ment, and have been responsible for
its management. The Republicans
would be glad to see the Democrats
make comparison, on any just basis
between the growth of the country
from 1850 to 1910 and that of the pre-
ceding fifty years, during most of
which the Democrats were in charge
of affairs. From a test of this sort
the Democrats would shrink. They
pirate about the good old Democratic
days." but every sensible person in
the country knows that the real days
of prosperity did not begin until after
the Democratic party was thrust out
of power. The Republican party is
willing and anxious to be judged by
its record. The doubling of the
amount of money in the savings
banks of the country in the fourteen
years which have passed since they
regained charge of the government is
q tribute to the Republican wisdom
and progressiveness in the control of
the affairs of the government which
every member of the party will be
glad to see mentioned. Living costs
more than 1t did decade and half
ago, but the ability of the people to
i've, to win increased comforts and
10 save increased amounts of money
has more than kept pace with the
peoples burdens. Let Democratic
writer's and takers, when they deal
with the higher cost of living. give
IS the truth, the whole truth, and |
nothing but the truth. On this test
he Republican party is willing to
stand or fall.
