purpose he has invented a camera de-

Hale On the Tariff.


Though getting along in years
our Senator Hale is yet carrying too
many guns for the young statesmen
of the Beveridge school. who are in
season and out of season. endeavor
ing to render the recent revision of
the tariff unpopular. This passage is
a specimen of Hale's faying of Bev-
eridge:
Il wish the authors of this section
to realize that they are to be the tail
of the kite. not only of the senator
from Indiana, but of every other
man who seeks to make the law I'M
popular. No other tariff law ever
was subjected to the barking that this
has been. 1t will be an opportunity
to show what is the deliberate, de-
termined purpose to discredit and
destroy it, and prevent the present
tariff bill having what every other
bill has had. an opportunity to be
tried before attack"
Senator Hale and the entire
bunch" of leading Republicans re
gard the new tariff as "the best
ever" or rather, the best to be had
and they are going to the people in
the coming campaigns. and try tc
demonstrate that fact.

The Democratic Party in a New Role


The Democratic Party in New Role
On the morning of the State Demo-
cratic convention there appeared in
the official daily organ of the new
regime a lecture to fellow Democrats
IN the expediency of being good. al
this particular time when accessons
from the Republicans form an rides
cent dream of our friends. the enemy.
This lecture had been printed once
before and on its last appearance was
prefaced as being repeated by special
request. because it is worth repeti-
scripture is worth reading again"
Note the comparison.
The advice contained therein. the
editorial not the scripture. was eX-
cellent. Here is choice bit: No in
sincere word should be written" etc
On may judge of the effect of the
advice by reading the account of the
convention. Chairman McGillicuddy S
speech is no exception. Those who
haven't read it should do so, for there
in they will find it asserted, that the
people are groaning under oppression
and grinding poverty, that the Re-
publican party is to be blamed for
bank defalcations and boodlers gen.
orally, that the trusts own the Repub-
lican party body and soul. but are not
$" much as suspected of even flirting
with that perennial old lady, Miss
Democracy.
Nor may one wonder at the discrep-
ancy. The old lady isn't accustomed
to hcr new clothes. She necessarily
labors under some embarrassment in
manipulating the wings furnished for
her angelic role. one is reminded of
that old story of the English cabby
who went to masquerade clad as
Appius Claudius. A comrade recog
nized him sweating in his ill-fitting
costume and said to him Are you

replied: Nav, I'm unhappy as ell"
