SHALL DEMOCRATIC PARTY Be ALDRCHIzED?'

The fight is ON! Shall the demo
cratic national convention of 1912 be
controlled by an Aldrich democracy
or shall it represent real democratic
sentiment?
Although the democratic party has
not controlled administrations in re
cent years it's democratic plat
forms have given it a power possess
ed by no other party In history
the power to compel opposing parties
to recognize the Righteousness of its
platforms.
This advantage has been won by
the party,s persistent fight for the
peoplee during the past 16 years.
Today the American people are
looking to the democratic party as
the leader in real reforms.
Cam the democratic party be trust
ed. The democratic national con-
vention for 1912 will provide the
answer.
The special interests that have
wrecked the republican party are
seeking to gain control Of the DEM
ocratic party.
II they find that the progressive
sentiment is too strong to be en-
tirely ignored they will take some
one who has been progressive
enough to furnish them some
thing to talk about but not pro-
gmssive enough to fight the inter
ests.
After a long fight the progressive
policies which aroused the opposi-
ton of all the predatory interests
in 1886 are becoming the accepted
policies OF the country, but the inter-
ests will do their best to nominate
a candidate who is not in sympathy
with them and who tried to retard
their progress.
The work of democratic presi-
dent will be no easy work. 1t will
require strength of body, strength
of mind and unflinching moral plr-
pose. The times require a stalwart,
fearless. progressive leader.
Congress will largely shape the
issues and may develop the man,
but whether he come from the

TAFT SAYS FARMERS ARE BUN.

In his speech ITO the Western Eco

President Taft declared that the
opposition to the Canadian recipro-
city agreement came not from the
farmers bud from the lumber inter
ests, and from the manufacturers

IF the farmers of the country at
large" he said, could be brought
to understand that this treaty, was
in the interest of the majority of the
people he would no longer fear the
outcome of the vote in the, senate"
The president was not sparing Of
his words. He told the reasons OF
the opposition to the treaty by the

THE SAFETY OF PROPERTY.


The decisions in the Standard Oil.
and Tobacco Company cases are
right, but some of the reasoning OF
Chief Justice White, in delivering the
opinions in these cases, is by no
means clear and satisfactory. Some
of his sayings would indicate that
the highest court in the land would
permit great aggregations of capital
to continue to restrain interstate
commerce, If the restraint was
not undue or unreasonable.
Such an Interpretation OF the
Sherman law might, at first thought,
be considered more favorable to
property than to human rights; bu.
in Its last analysis that would not
he true.
Property is not safe when boarded
IN a few hands. Property never
has and never will be safe when a
reasonable share of it can not be
acquired by every deserving and in
dustrious, man. If the possessors OF
swollen fortunes are wise, they VIII
not attemp. to profit by the. dictum
Of the Chief Justice; they will
share their present holdings, rathe,
than attempt to increase them.
II the owners of swollen for
tunes combine and confederate, ant

The young man of average education
and intelligence to earn com
petence by his own endeavors, his
tory will repeat itself in this gener
alton by a revolt on the part of The
many.
Already there are warning signals
ON our Pacific coast. The recen
legislation of the legislature of Cad
ifornia is little less than revolution
airy. II practically shifts the bur
dens of government from the individ
nal to the corporation. The preda
tory rich should remember that thu
power to tax is inherent in th'
masses Of the people, and that thu
power to tax is. the power to con
fisoate, the power to destroy.

For many years the United States
and Canada have shown the world
the longest boundary between any
two nations. 1t extends across a con.
Inert from ocean to ocean, an
both countries have lived in peace
and mutual respect. without a
fortress, soldier or a gun On
either side of that boundary line.
Why should not the people of two
such countries trade freely with
each other?

WHY DEMOCRATS FAVOR {
A,anlAn pEcIpRocIrv

The democrats are almost a unit
in favor of Canadian reciprocity. not
because the measure is areent'y sup
ported ty President Taft, bnt be-
cause it is right, eyeri istinglg
right.
There is little or no difference be
tween the people of this country and
Canada, but there is difference in
climate and productions.
The people of both countries can be
benefited by each producing that
which they can produce most eco
nomically, and then freely exchange
with each other. In that way the
wants of all will be better supplied.
Neither side will gain at the expense
of the other, but both will gain by
the mutual advantages of commerce.

The democratic party does not
stand for free trade; it never did,
and never will.
Congressman Cyrus Cline Of Indi-
ana paused for an instant in the
middle of an able and brilliant
speech on the tariff, turned toward
the republican side of the House with
the above defy and waited for some
one to accept the challenge. The
'apublicans looked from one to an
Their, moved a little uneasily in
heir seats, but no one arose in
ais place to take exception to the
declaration of the Indiana man. So
sir. Cline continued and the demo.
ratio side gave him rousing
cheer.
Il have no consideration for the
lemagogue who charges that the
democratic party is a free trade
party" declared Representative C inc.
Its whole history impeaches that
declaration, and those charges are
only made when reason and argu-
ment fail and always with a vicious
motive.
This, country is committed to the
theory OF raising money to defray the
expenses Of the government by a
duty on imports. We shall never get
away from that theory. Our. ex-
penses are SO enormous and con-
stantly increasing that in all pro-
liability our retrenchment and re-
formation will be. not in raising
much less revenue, but in more
judiciously expending 1t.

'sThe evidence shows DR.. Dumas
got 10 sticks zof dynamite from the
| O'Neil Lumber Co.. and six sticks
were found in DR.. Dumas safe. Four

The DUPONT expert says four sticks
would make II ounces of nitroglyc-
crime, and Behan testified Davis had

message from Duluth when the doc
tor was said to say, q had trouble

Ole Ferguson next came in for a

say of him is to pronounce his name
and then STOP said Mr.. James. The
assistant attorney riddles the idea
that Ferguson '"took dynamite, slept
with it, left it by the cigar counter
and then took it home and blew a
stump" Mr.. James then held up the
long stems of timothy supposed to
have been. taken from the stump,

duct from seed sown in June was i'm
possible in this or any other country
and that timothy planted from seed
does not head out as had the timothy
taken from the Ferguson place.

of lying about the time he purchased

Mike Davis threshing out the dyna-
mite T.

Wis brought from Cass Lake was from
