been one OF extravaganza. rampant
and inexcusable. The peoples mon
ey has been squandered without re-
gard to the public welfare, IL not with
direct view to private gain.
To meet these wanton and lavish
expenditures of the public funds the
assessed values of property have been
forced up out, of all reason, until the
oppression from unjust taxation threat
ems to drive the people from their
homes and confiscate their property
We demand that stop be put to
this reckless extravaganza, and insist
upon the strictest economy, consist
ent with good government, in the ex-
penditures Of the public revenues.
FOURTH: For over a quarter of
century the Democratic party was in
control of both our State and County
government, and we point with pride
TO the record it then made. Although
the state revenues were then small
state institutions were built, equipped
and maintained. and the State turn
ed over to the Republicans on March
the 4th, 1897. free from debt. Now.
some of our state institutions are i'm
delapidation and decay, while an
army of useless officials, maintained
for political purposes, consume the
public revenues.
During said period or Democratic
supremacy the affairs of our County
we're so justly and economically ad-
ministered, that, although ASSESS
MENTS AND TAXES WERE LOW.
our roads were kept up, we built
bridges, two court houses and a Jail;
the expenses OF our County were
paid; and when the Democratic party
vent out of power the County owed
no debt and about sixteen hundred
dollars was left in the treasury.
Since that time the enormous revc-
nues collected by taxation have been
squandered, and in addition thereto
county debt of over one hundred thou
sand dollars has been created, with
practically no public improvements to
show for it. To the already over bur
dened taxpayers this presents an alar-
ming condition, the seriousness of
which can not be over estimated.
We declare that party RESPONSE.
bic for these conditions is not to be
trusted, and that relief can only be
secured by electing to office men who
will serve the public and not their
own private interests, and who will
not be under obligation to a party
controlled by machine politicians who
are in politics for what they can get
nut of it, and not for the public good. |
FIFTH: The right of the people to
rule is fundamental principle of the
Democratic party. and whenever the
people request that an amendment to
their state constitution be submitted
20 them for their ratification or re-
lection, it is the duty of the legisla-
ure whatever may be the views OF the |
Individual members thereof as to !
lie merits OF such amendment, to |

THE DEAREST GIFT.
A Pathetic Incident In the Life Of Rop-

A young American woman was trav.

coach. the only other occupant OF the
compartment being an elderly gentle
man. Observing the interest OF The
young woman in the country through

also that 1t was new TO her, the more
experienced traveller pointed out oh.

10 those who have an interest in the
welfare OF the State.
~ therefore direct our Represen-
tatives in the legislature TO use all
fair and honorable means TO have
such an amendment to the constitu-
ton submitted TO a vote OF the people
for their ratification or rejection.
SEVENTH We favor the enact
ment OF a just and honest registrs.
ton law. which will protect the rights
of the legal voters and put an. end
TO illegal and fraudulent voting In
this State; the purity OF the ballot be.
/ ing absolutely essential TO the preser.
walton and maintenance of good gov
eminent.
The registration law now in force is
the result of an effort of a Republican
Legislature to quiet the repeated and
urgent demands of the people for an
honest registration law protecting the
purity of the ballot, and at the same
time to place the least possible re.
strictions upon the corrupt practices
carried on in certain counties of the
State, where colonizing illegal voters
and repeating at the polls had be,
come the common practice of Repub-
lican politicians and officials.
EIGHTH: We favor the enactment
of law requiring common carriers
of passengers to furnish seperate
coaches or compartments for white
and colored passengers, giving TO each
equal accomm odations.
NINTH: We recognize the fact that
capital and labor are mutually de.
pendent upon each other, and that
each have sacred rights which must
Dc protected. But we declare that the
tol!,rs OF our State and those who arc
dependent uron them should not be
compelled to bear alone the burden
o. industrial accidents, and we there
lore favor the enactment OF a Just ana
equitable employers liability law.
TENTH: We favor the systematic
improvement of our public highways
carried forward as fast as conditions
and finances will permit.
ELEVENTH.: We direct attention
to the fact that the Republican party
IN this county is controlled today by
the same coterie of scheming politi.
clans who controlled and guided the
policies and affairs of that party two
years ago, and prior thereto. That
their scheme now is to deceive and
divide the forces or reform and good
government, and thereby, with the aid
or their negro allies, elect their tick
ct and thus 10 perpetuate themselves
in power must be apparent to every
one Men who desire .IsSEM and
good government in Mercer county
cannot safely follow their lead.
TWELFTH: We appeal to all good
citizens, regardless of past or presen.
party affiliation, to unite and co-ono
rate with us in accomplishing and
carrying out the principles and poI
cles herein declared for.

decide partisan political issues, but
all good citizens acquiesce in those
final judgments. They bow to the
decisions OF the court, because there
must be some final power to decide
such issues or there would be danger
of disruption of the Union. It is not
necessary to recall all the political
decisions of the Supreme Court which
as someone has said, acts as "a con-
tinuous constitutional convention; !"
but few of the later ones, such as
the bred Scott case, the legal ten.
der decisions, the income tax decis-
ions, and the cases that Mr.. Roose.
Welt has seen fit TO criticise, are in
evcrybody's mind.
As a partisan matter, both part es
hhvc been disquieted with Supreme
Court decisions; but while every eli.
ar has the right to his opinion as
TO the merits of political decisions,
which from their nature must be.
come partisan to denounce tho jas.
,ice arouses enmity to our own ins.i-
u tons and helps the causes OF an
orchy and socialism.
But we have lately heard another
criticism of the court that goes far
3,yond all that has gone befofe. Tbeo-
dore Roosevelt in his New National
ism declares: 1T is necessary to con-
strue rights and privileges very diff.
ferently from the way they were nee
essarily construed by statesmen and
| eople alike a century ago. The SUI
preme Court of the United States in
terprets what the Constitution means
and is the bulwark of the old the
cries of government" but Mr.. Roose-
Welt denounces those Justices who
are honest but fossilized of mind"
and says that their decisions in the
Two cases which he cites are in fla
grant and direct contradiction to the
spirit and needs of the times"
No wonder the socialists are re.
joicins az this criticism, and wei.
come Mr.. Roosevelt as a brother, for
tleir 1908 platform declared for the
abolition OF the power usurped by the
Supreme Court of the United States
10 pass upon the constitutionality of
legislation enacted by Congress-" One
OF the great principles of our govern
ment is that the Supreme Court of
the United States is the high guar
dian of the Constitution and of the
legal rights of the humblest citi.
zens if infringed by an unconstitu-
tional law. But Roosevelt like the
socialist, would change that bulwark
of numa nliberty because he claims
that it is demanded by the spirit and
needs of the times" He would fol.
low his criticism of the Court by us
urpation in order to carry out his
plans for his New Nationaism.
The Constitution of the United
States was adopted for the protec.
ton OF the life, liberty and happiness
and although everyone may not entire
~ enjoy all that he is heir to, il is
very doubtful if his estate would be
deferred under Roosevelt New Nat
iona ism. In fact, the latter condi-
ticn would be worse than his former
one.
