The Globe Democrat continu-
ally finds fault with Colonel
Roosevelt on the grounds that
he is at present engaged in tir-
ing into his own party rather
than at the Democrats. In a
general campaign between Re
publicanS and Democrats for DO
litical supremacy such criticism
woulo be just and proper, but aS
large part Of the Republican
party has undertaken to do a
little Seasonable house cleaning
under the Colonel's leadership
previous to this years general
election. the G-D'S fault-fndino
is a little out of place. He must
first shoot up he bad men in his
own party before he can be oX-
pected to make q telling cunning
incursion into the ranks of the
Demcratic enemy. After the
Chicago convention the Golonel
will doubtless be firing straight
enough INTO the ranks of the
common enemy Of the RoDuhli

One of the queer things some Of
our leading statemen, Republican and
Democrat, adhere to. is the idea thai
he industrial system of the COUNT

competition. Their principal ATTACKS
IN both the protective tariff and the
.rusts are based on this idea. We
10 not want general competition, the
,nly solution and hope of the indus
rial problem lies in the monopoliza-
ion of the larger instruments of pre-
luction and distribution by the pco-
)le through collective ownership. We
AN not go back to general competi-
ion any more than we can go back

There are lots OF good nen anu
