HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY ON
THE DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic party has swept the
country. It's victory Tuesday was a
tidal wave. 1t inundated the Repub-
hcans in unexpected quarters. Even
the Democratic leaders hardly dared
hope for a triumph of such proper
tions.
Having won victory of such mag
nitude at the polls, what are the
Democrats going to do about it,
It has been easy to gain the citadeIs
of power with the people aroused
against the Republican party and ready
TO drive it from its strongholds. 1t
will not be so easy to hold what has
been gained.
just ahead, only little way as poll
tics goes, is the Presidential election.
The Democratic party is In excellent
strategic position now to capture the
next Presidency. 1t is also in excel
lent position to lose that office. Not
merely that, but it is in excellent posi-
tion to win such discredit that it will
be years before it comes into authority
again; it is even in position 10 cause
its own dissolution.
Many of the Democratic leaders have
appreciated this. They have hoped for
victory in the elections just ended, but
at the same time have quietly feared
victory, knowing what responsibilities
would attach to their control of the
House.
There is just one course that the
Democratic party can take in the
6nty-second Congress, the first regu-
lar session of which will begin in e
Gambler, over year hence. IAat is to
adopt policy of wise progressiveism.
ANY other course will be suicidal.
The people have rebuked the Repub-
lean party, after about fourteen years
of uninterrupted sway, because it be-
came reactionary, because its organiza-
ton in Congress and elsewhere, to a large
measure, got into the grip of men
who refused to move forward and in
sisted on standing still or going back
ward. It's leaders refused to wake up
to the fact that the people are insist
ing on the divorcing of politics and
business, are demanding that the spe-
cial interests shall no longer have a
hand in the affairs of government.
Now, the spectacle is presented of
the forces of special interest and priv
lege turning their attention to the
Democratic party and trying to con-
troll that. If they succeed, the Demo
cratic party's course in Congress viii
be ruled, not by its progressive men,
but by its reactionaries, its ultra
conservatives. And they are neither
few nor weak.
1t is as certain as anything can be
that unless the Democratic party in
the next Congress shows that it is

NEWCOMB
IS ON RETIRED LIST

Capt. Frank II, Newcomb, who re-
ceived the only gold medal authorized
by Congress for heroic conduct during
the war with Spain, was retired from
the United States revenue cutter serv-
ice today on account Of age.
While in command OF the revenue
cutter Hudson, Captain Newcomb res
cued the officers and crew or the tor
pedo boat Winslow from a very per
ilous position on Cardenas, Cuba, dur
ing the action with the Spanish on
May II. 1898.

grand total Of $1,000 every year2 This

One might suppose, from the great num-
Der Of people travelling, that there were
more people killed On railroads than
any place else. This idea is fostsred
by the fact that the wrecks hold such
a prominent place IN the news OF the
day, vet the facts as developed by the
investigations Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission are that a person Is
in more danger Of being burned 70
death than killed on a railroad.
Another odd thing Is that there are
more people killed by trains when the
victim IS on the ground than when he
is in the cars. The statistics Of the
commission show that 25S people last
year bought tickets for some town
which carried them to the Eternal City,
although there were three and a half
millions Of people who rode safely TO
their destination. In New York city
alone last year there were eighty-twO
deaths by buvning and 113 by scalding
Eight out Of every 10000 people are

street cars kill an average Of three and

Against the Republican ticket stood
the solid power OF Tammany, Ieagued
with most of the great financial in
terests of the metropolis and re-en-
forced by a big following from the
odd Guard" Republicans, the albany
Gang On the side of the Republican
ticket was the personality of Roose-
welt, and little else.
1t should not be forgotten that. as
subsequent events demonstrated.
Colonel Roosevelt also had TO contend
with the undercurrent of nation wide
political unrest, which was ready to
manifest itself in Massachusetts, Con
necticut, New Jersey, Ohio, and
Indiana. How much this general
anti-RepubIican sentiment influenced
the result in New York is not
known, but it undoubtedly was par
tally responsible for the Democratic
success.
If other, normally Republican
States, had gone Republican, and New
York alone had gone Democratic, the
result would have been a terrific blow
to Roosevelt. An analysis of the COM
plete vote, however, shows that the
Republican ticket Jared no worse in
New York than in many other States.
where the issue of Roosevelt had not
been raised.
Indeed, the drnbbing that Colonel
Roosevelt received in New York can
hardly be called more severe than that

chusetts, Senator Penrose in PennsyI-

the people went cunning for every
thing that carried a Republican label,
Colonel roosevelt is in position to
claim he has come through with no
more Disagreement than any of the
other Republican leaders in the East.

Money Makers Would
Save Money
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 10.
Secretary McVeigh of the treas
ury department has a plan to re-
form the present paper currency
of the country, cutting the size of
the bills from ~ x7.23 inches to
2 " X6 inches. Further, it is pro-
posed to make entirely new de-
signs and try to get some harmony
of historic design and make the
money more attractive.
BY taking up the changes pro-
posed saving of $612,O00 year
could be made in the treasury de-
partment in the saving of print
ing, paper and help needed for
tn e various processes through
which the money has to go before
it is issued.
The smaller bills it Is pointed
out would be more convenient as
they could be placed fiat in small
.er pocketbooks, and the secretary
believes the change would be of
gref!t advantage to the people
besides being moro economical for
the government. He has invited
the people to write him their
views concerning the change and
If the people say yes he will start

THE LOVE POTION
BY Stuart B. Stone

King Bilbu of Mombul-Bezee
was the ugliest man of his time.
His eyes were crossed like the eyes
ora crab; his face was the color
of old parchment; his three teeth
were yellow as the ingots of gold
that filled his counting house. Yet
for all these the king was a IA
vorite with women. There were
SO beautiful women in the royal
palace, and when King Bilbul
passed it was strange to hear the
tender goings-on.
Our lord, the king-behold his
handsome countenance!" little
Asphodel, the violet-eyed, would
cry; and the others would sigh
and kowtow.
Which was truly marvellous,
considering that King Bilbul was
uglier than any mud fence. Yet the
king did many marvellous things.
There was a great laboratory
which none might enter, and here
he mixed strange potions and elk
irs. Some said the king had been
10000 years on earth.
But with all his uncanny power,
King Bilbul pinned for one thing.
This was the love of Princess Car
azina. the fairest flower the the
court of Mombu1-Bezee. The king
had tried the power of both the
good eye and the evil eye, but the
heart of the Princess Carazina
would not pit-pat for him. And
this was all on account of the
Duke Arturo. who. If the king was
ugly as mud. was himself as fair
as god.
One day King Bilbul approach
ed the Princess Carazina, who sat
