A DANGEROUS PROGRAM.

Doctor Schuman, president Of
Cornell University, says that he
regards Mr.. Roosevelt's new nation
alism as the most revolutionary and
dangerous program any political
leader has laid before the American
people since the close OF. the civil
war" All the presidents of univer-
sites and colleges seem to feel about
the same way, and the people of the
state of New York agree with the
professor by 10000 plurality. Pres
ident Schurman furthers says: The
new nationalism spells Caesarism in
government and bankruptcy in
business; and all that without adding
a cent to the income of the wage
Garner or any other citizen except
the politician and his army OF new
government officers"
Teddy is yet to be heard from,
and this fight between the Repub-
ican literati and the Colonel may
be viewed with composure now that
the people have decided that their
salvation is to rest on the old DEM
ocrasic principle: Equal rights to
all, and special privileges to none"

is kept 4 Democratic presi.

If faith is kepta Democratic presi-
dent will follow in 1919; if faith is
broken, the party will go down TO a
defeat equally as crushing as has just
been administered to the Republic
cans, and will deserve to. The peo-
pie have shown that they know how
to deal with pledge breakers.
What a glorious victory it was,
New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, electing
Democrats of the highesttype tothe
goyernorship; Indiana insuring Dem
ocratic company for Shiyely in the
senate; New Jersey, New York, Ne
braska, Missouri, West Virginia and
Ohio to send Democrats to succeed
Republicans in he senate and victor
les for the hous sll along the line.
It's enough to set the blood a.
tingling in every Democratic vein,
and in the hour of triumph every
earnest, honest Democrat should
pledge himself to the support and
encouragement of such measures and
men as shall insure continuance of
Democratic supremacy, held because
deserved. The petty bosses, react
ionaries, traders, tools and crooks in
the party must not be tolerated.
The Democratic party must prove
itself the party of progress and of
equal rights, else the power bestow-
ed upon it November sth viii be
wrested from it. Let no Democrat
lose sight of his grave responsible
ties. The Democratic stewardship
is on trial.

JURY CORRUPTION.

Trial by jury is one of the most sa-
cred rights guaranteed to every
American citizen. Life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness are at stake
in that guarantee. No crime strik-
ing more directly at all the institu-
tons head .i,'-f ~ American freemen
can be conceived, therefore, than an
attempt t" r".rupt j juror. The in
di.nation vi every honest ciezer
must rise, the blood Of every patriot
ic American boil, at the bare con-
temptation u tue though that jury
fixing scclns to be comparatively
easy of performance and the frequen-
cy of the crime rapidly increasing.
Within week two startling cases
of attempts to defeat justice by tam
pering with a juror came to light.
One succeeded; the other failed, be-
ing nipped in the bud by reason Of
the integrity of the counsel for the
prisoner at the bar, who turned the
bribe-soliciting juror and his inter-
mediary over to the police.
New York city holds the the un-
enviable distinction of being the scene
of Que plot; equally wicked, if not
more so, Chicago, the other. In the
eastern city the case concerned was
a homicide trial, in which rich
JOY rider" was charged with hav-
ing caused the death, by his reckless
automobilins of a young girl. The
jury had been drawn and the case
was about to proceed, when the plot
to secure disagreement or acquittal
regardless of the merits of the case,
was revealed. 1t should de said, in
justice to the prisoner at the bar,
that he has not been shown to have
had any part in the attempt to
hang the jury. The guilty juror
himself made the oyertures, through
an intermediary, to the counsel of
the prisoner, agreeing to hold OUT
for acquittal in consideration of S.
500. The counsel for the prisoner

and trapped juror and intermediary
in the very act of receiving part of
the bride money on account. The
conspirators are in the Toombs pris-
on, indicted and awaiting trial, with
the prospect of long prison terms
ahead of them. 1t appears that the
tainted juror, Yeandle by name,
served on the jury of Nan Patterson,
in the last of her notorious trials for
murder, and held out for acquittal.
Whether or not he was then in

t the outset Of life of more than bio
Bay that Colonel Roosevelt has
nothing to say.on Collection.
The calamity is of stupendous pro-
portions that can put a quietus on
the garrulous erstwhile apostle Of
righteousness.
But there is no need for Mr.
Roosevelt to say anything. The
verdict of the people It the polls
Tuesday said quite enough. That
verdict postpones indefinitely the
program of new nationalism. .
That verdict is distinctly repudi-
alton of Roosevelt and all his pre-
tensions. The Republican ticket
was slaughtered in nearly every
state in the union where Roosevelt
spread himself over the political map.
His personally chosen and conducted
candidate for governor of New York
was buried under an avalanche of
ballots, not because Of his own per-
sonality or record but because he
was Rooseyelts man. RooseveFt's
own district in his own town went
Democratic as did his congressional
district.
Roosevelt spoke in Massachusetts
against Foss and the people=oyer-
turned the great normal Republican
majority of that state by electing
Foss governor.
Roosevelt most unjustly misrepre-
sented Judge Baldwin, of Connect
cut, refusing to correct his misstate-
ments when his attention was court
eously called to them, and the
people of Connecticut elected Judge
Baldwin governor.
Roosevelt flew to the assistance of
Senator Beveridge in Indiana and
the people of Indiana were so i'm
pressed by his speeches that they de-
feased Beyeridge and elected DEM
ocratic legislature to make Kern a
United States senator.
J. Roosevelt assaulted .G@.rn Har-
mon in Ohio and etle people re-
sponded by re-electing Harmon bys
record breaking plurality.
Roosevelt spoke in Iowa and the
people almost wiped out Repubh-
can majority of $4,000 on the state
ticket, besides increasing the Demo-
cratic Congressional representation.
Roosevelt did not speak in New
Jersey, but Woodrow Wilson. Dem
ocratic candidate for governor, made
opposition to the .Rooseveltian new
nationalism an issue of his campaign
and the people elected him by 49,
900 plurality.
Roosevelt is the sorriest figure
that emerges from the .wreckage Of
his once seemingly inyincible.p party.
The people have at last taken his
measure. For a time they were
prone to look upon him as demi-

longer to cover six months, ASril to

April to June or July to September.
The longer tour will enable the farmer
to investigate not only seeding, but
