Great Day For Democracy

pdSScu lulO uiSbOIy. ~ was q
success from every viewpoint
arrangement, attendance, man.
agement, speeches. Everything
connected with it was as it
should be. The great Lyric
Theatre building was packed
from stage wall to entrance at
the afternoon meeting every
one of the more than eleven hum
dred seats provided at the ban
quet table in the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory was occupied in
the evening The speeches, from
the Introductory remarks of
General Vandiver, at the Lyric,
to the closing sentence of the
last toast, were full of sound
political sense and breathed the
true spirit of Democracy.
For all these things the meet
ing was notable. but most of all
was it notable for the expires
sions given utterance by Champ
Clark, the man whose election
as Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives of the Sixty second
Congress is conceded, and who
will perhaps have more to do
with framing the next tariff bill
than any other man in the coun-
try. Mr.. Clark's speech, it is
understood, strikes the keynote
of Democratic policy in the
next Congress, and as such it
will be received by the coun-
try-that is to say, the aim will
be for a revenue tariff with no
more protection than is un-
avoidable in a measure of that
kind. This view was further
emphasized by Senator Bailey,
who declared that the proper
Democratic doctrine is as low a
tariff as will serve to raise the
revenue needed, with neces-
saries of life put on the free list
as rapidly as it is found that the
Government can do without the
revenue derived from the tariff
placed upon them. These two
are militant Democrats, and
they are both in position to help
largely in giving the country
such a tariff as they outlined.
Governor Harmon struck an
other Democratic keynote in
declaring that the country need :
ed and must have economy in
administration, and ex-senator
Blackburn's remarks rung
equally true when he declared
that the Democratic party
stands for Government of con-
stitutional limitations as con-
strued by the courts, and that
the courts are entitled TO and
should receive the respect of the
people.
The speeches at the banquet
were equally eloquent, though
less notable because in lighter
vein, and served the purpose of
rounding out the occasion and
making it perfect in all parts.
The gentlemen who served on
the various committees which
managed the affair and brought
it TO its successful consum-
nation are deserving of all
praise. 1t was a big undertake
ing, and could only have been
carried through by big men.
The Democrats of Maryland
are to be congratulated for help
ing to make the day a success
both by their attendance and
their contributions, and for the
privilege it gave them of meet
ing and mingling with and
hearing addresses by some of
the leading men of the country.
1t was a great day for Balti-
more, for Maryland, and for
Democracy throughout the coun
try.-Baltimore Sun.

Another Harvard professor has brok-

frankly on that inexhaustible topic

er nature She is lower type OF or.
ganism She is biologically more OF

That the charge straight from
classic Harvard Here's the answer
from some of the women OF New
York: Woman have greater love
for beauty than men have says DR..
Mary Halton. They adorn them
selves and everything with which they
come in contact II IL were not for
women. men would cease TO wear
clothes, to shave or to make any pre-
tensions to civilization" In other
words, they would be barbarians, not
only "biologically," but actually.

OF the investigating committee in the

Upon each move the decent Repub-
leans and Democrats will demand roll

senators do not relish the prospects

Besides the open warfare dirty
campaign OF inuendo Is being waged
against LaFollette and is being wide
ly published in certain newspapers. II
is being charged that LaFollette voted
for the lumber trust In the Taft Payne
Aldrich tariff bill. The answer TO this
Is in the rollcalls. Six times LaFol-
lette voted for amendments reducing
the lumber schedules. These were
the only three lumber amendments
that came TO vote.
And then he voted against the tarifi
bill as a whole.
The lumber trust story that Is being
circulated against LaFollette Is a fair
sample OF the fight that is geing waged
against progressive Republicans and
Democrats in both houses all the
time

The Meaning Of insurgency

I like crying out as CARLYLE did when
the business men OF his day argued
the prosperity OF the ctotton trade
against the first feeble demands that
the lives of women and children In the
mills be protected. Said Carlyle:
Deliver me these rickety, perishing
souls of infants and let your cotton
trade take its chances!"
Mr.. Baker observes that the present
nationwide insurgency Is no sudden
up-heaval. TO de distrusted on that ac'
count, but the third wave that has
swept across the country since the
great insurgency that destroyed hui
man slavery. and that IL Is the result
OF "a deep-rooted. Predetermined,
slow.growing movement OF the whole
| people"
The Populsm OF the early eighties
and the Organism of the nineties in
Guided many proposals now part OF the
progressive program. Both those
waves were beaten back in failure
| for reasons stronger than any cited
! by Mr.. Baker, False economics In the
| forms of hurtful financial heresies
were the central features OF both
movements. The present insurgency
is weighted with no such handicap.
But. in addition. public thought had
not crystalliZed. There was no general
understanding OF the intertwined re-
lationship OF all the problems of the
nation. of the kinship of pure politics
and pure food, OF municipal graft and
the health in soul. mind and body or
the child.
! For the first time has come a move
ment essentially humanitarian. yet
based upon sound economics and a
practical. workable, profitable. politi-
cal idealism.
