The Democratic Program.

In public address a few days
ago Champ Clark, Democratic lead
er of the House, presented a fore
cast of what the Democrats propose
to do when they come into power.
"First," he said, "they will re-
duce the tariff to revenue basis. "
Mr.. Clark can speak with authority
respecting the plans of his parry.
If the Democrats control the House
in the next Congress he undoubted-
ly will be elected speaker, and in
that position will direct the enact
ment of legislation.
What the Democratic party real
ly proposes to do is reduce the tar
iff, not to revenue basis, but to a
free trade basis. You readily will
recall what happened the last time
this party engaged in tariff reduc-
ton. In 1890 a Democratic House
Of Representatives in Congress was
elected, and two years later the
other branch of Congress and the
Presidency was secured by the
Democrats.
With the whole power of legis-
letion thus placed in the control of
the Democrats, panic ensued. 1t
did not wait for the party to legis-
late. The Democrats assailed the
Republican policy of protection as
they do now and as they always
have done. Their declared pur-
pose was to reduce duties and to
uproot the whole system. They
then had the power.
The menace was enough to cause
the greatest distress. Business
was suspended, manufactures were
closed up, failures were numerous
and hundreds of thousands OF
working men were thrown out of
employment. A period of suffer-
ing ensued which has hardly had
it's parallel in the history of the
country. 1t can never be forgotten
by any of the sufferers who passed
through it.
Under such conditions of bust
ness and industrial depression the
Democrats enacted their threatened
tariff law. 1t not only did not
help, it made matters worse. The
Democratic tariff was neither rev.

The Big Fair.

The annual county fair held at
Forksville this week was an excel
lent exhibition OF the agricultural
products of Sullivan County com
bined with enough clean up-to-date
amusements to make it an interest
ing event to the large crowd in at
tendance from throughout this
county and southern Bradford.
Among the exhibits worthy of
much praise was the display of
county school work. This is a
feature in which Sullivan County
eXcels and one of which she can be
justly proud.
The live stock, fruit, vegetable,
pastry and other displays We're up
to the standard for size and quality
and spoke we'll for the breeders,
agriculturists an housewives.
In the line of amusements there
were the merry-go-round, shows,
and the other usual attractions.
On Wednesday a track meet was
held, students of the county schools
competing for prizes and honors.
Grant Carpenter of Laporte won
the running races.
On Thursday game of baseball
was played between Estella and
Skunk, the former winning by a
score of Is to 3.
The Leroy band furnished mu-
sic for the occasion.

The country continued to suffer un-
til William Mckinley, the author.
of the Republican tariff law which
has been so viciously misrepresent-
ed, was elected President in 1896.
With a Republican President
and a Republican Congress the
country entered upon a period Of
prosperity which has been the won
der of all other lands. Business
activity was resumed everywhere
and in all lines of industry, and
that activity has been continued
under Republican tariff legislation
which has never failed to provide
protection both for the manufacture
er and the wage Garner.
Do you want hard times again?
If you do, listen to the Demo-
cratic Misrepresentation of the
Payne tariff law, which President
Taft says is the best tariff measure
ever put on the statute books, and
restore the Democratic party to
power. That will revive the suf-
fcring experienced under the last

POLICE ASK VOTERS
TO GIVE PENSION
FIRST AMENDMENT PROVIDES
SYSTEM OF ANNUITiEs FOR
DISABLED PATROLMEN.

A campaign of education looking to
the adoption at the election in No
vember of the police pension amend
ment has been inaugurated by com
mittees representing the departments
in the three large cities of the state.
One of the things which the commit
tee is impressing upon the people Is
the fact that, while 1t is necessary
for the state as whole to authorize
each city to adopt provisions for pen
sioning old and disabled policemen, 1t
will not cost the country people sin
gle cent. When the amendment is
adopted, and pensions are provided.
the entire expense for them will be
borne by the city adopting the system.
But even before the city can do that.
under the Missouri constitution It is
necessary for the entire state to give
its consent.
The amendment is to be No. 1 on
tutional amendments are to be print
ed this year. Every voter in the state
that thinks each city should be given
the power to pension the men who
guard the city by day and by night,
in fair weather and foul, after they
have been injured so as to take them
away from duty, by some criminal,
should scratch out the word NO on
the first amendment.
Several years ago the voters OF the
state authorized the cities to estab-
lish a firemen's pension, and these
men in st. Louis today enjoy an an
nuity when they become too old for
service. or are injured; and their
widows and children are paid some
thing If the fireman loses his life in
the performance of duty. The danger
to which a policeman is constantly ex-
posed is just as great as that Of the
fireman.
When there is fire the police must
be there to protect the property from
thieves and to keep the people back.
II tlseIasis a fight or shooting, he
must step in to enforce peace. When
robberies are committed he must To-
cate and arrest the crooks. At all
times his life is in danger.
Other cities provide for their police.
men. but st. Louis, Kansas City and
st. Joseph, the only three towns af-
fected by the proposed amendment,
have been backward in establishing a
pension system.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

Philip S. White, one of the old
citizens Of this county, died on
Monday morning, Sept. 26, 1910,
a. his residence in Wellsville.
He was born in Lincoln county,
KY, Feb. 28, 1880, came with his
father to Montgomery county in
1884 and settled near Middletown.
He was married in 1858 to Miss
Clementine Dame. Three children
were born 20 this union, one of
whom died in infancy.
In 1897 he moved to Wellsville,
and engaged in the mercantile
business, which pursuit he fol-
lowed until old age and physical
infirmities compelled him to re-
tire from active business.
He united with the Church of
Christ in early life and was an
active member of that body until
