DOES ROOSEVELT WANT DEMO.
Gratis AND INSURGENTS TO
WORK ToGETAER?

(From the Chicago Record-Herald)

ca. developments Of the last several
weeks. With the, sole exception Of
his pro-direct primary message in
support of Hughes he has had moth

but not word has he uttered.
But the weekly OF which he is Con-

an unsigned editorial this week which
IS extremely significant-especially IL,

takes the position that the issue
therein is not between Republican
ism and Democracy IN party sense,
but between oligarchy and democra-
cy. and, therefore. that the thought
full voter must disregard party labels
and support those candidates who
most truly represent freedom and,
progress.
Specifying, the editorial goes on
to say that the struggle for democ-
racy and opportunity appears just
now in four phases-primary cleo
tons, majority rule in legislative bod
les. railroad regulation and conser-
walton. The upholder Of popular gov
eminent and equal rights, The Out

the congressional candidate who
earnestly stands for direct primar-

proper railway regulation and genu-
Inc conservation. 1t says it prefers
"a popular House, whichever party
controls, to an oligarchic House."
and 1t. therefore, prefers a progress

THE DlsLoYALTY OF ORGANIZED
WEALTH.

The organized wealth of this coun-
try is more disloyal to the govern
ment than the possessors of wealth
in any of the other civilized nations.
In no nation except this, is the wealth
OF the country exempted from bear
ing a fair share of the burdens OF
the national government. In this
country no direct taxes are levied
for the support of the federal gov.
eminent and without an income tax
the poor man with large family is
compelled to pay as much or more
toward the maintenance of the gener-
a. government than the men worth
many millions. To right this mani
fes. Injustice an income tax is pro-
posed, and the wealth Of the country
is doing everything possible to defeat
it.
When Taft was candidate for
the presidency he made speeches in
favor of an income tax, but since his
election he has gone over and lined
himself up with the dlsloyal rich on
this all important question.
.
The Supreme Court killed one in
come tax law, by one judge changing
his mind, and Taft is fixing the Su-
preme Court SO that it will be in
shape to kill the present income tax
measure If 1t is fortunate enough t.
secure the ratification of the neces-
sary two-thirds of the States.
Governor Hughes of New York sue
ceeded in defeating the income tax
resolution, when it came before the
legislature of his state, and Taft
promptly selected him to fill one OF
the vacancies on the Supreme
Bench. The reasons which Hughes
urged for the defeat of the income ia
in his messages to the legislature OF
New York will be used by him as a
Supreme Court Judge, If the question
ever reaches the Supreme Court.

there was none more true or timely

DEMOCRATS AND INSURGENTS
SHOULD WORK TOGETHER,

(From the New York WORLDLY
The World congratulates the Dem
ocrats of Minnesota on the good
sense shown by their State Conven-
ton, which adopted a resolution COM
mending the Republican insurgents of
Minnesota "for their vote on the
Payne Tariff bill"
Likewise it congratulates Mr.. Bry-
an on his good sense-if the report
is true-in giving aid and encourage
ment to Judge George w. Norris. the
aggressive insurgent Representative
from the Fifth Nebraska District.
In this campaign Democrats and
insurgents are fighting for practically
the same things. They have no Inn
portant differences Both are oppos-
ed to the excuses Of the Payne
Aldrich tariff. Both are opposed to
Cannonism and Aldrichism. Both
are opposed to Ballingerlsm and
the footing of natural resources by
private capital. Both are against the
alliance between the Republican Or
ganization and privileged interests.
Thus far in the contest no Demo-
crat has done such effective work
for true democratic principles as have
some of the Republican insurgents
particularly Senator Brsitow In his
1lexposure OF Senator Aldrich's ma
nipulation of the rubber schedule and
the cotton schedule, and Senator
J Cummins in his explanation Of the
relation between the tariff and the
swollen capitalization OF the Steel
Trust. But every insnrgent is doing
work that Democrats ought to be do
