Is ''some lively" when few visiting

1t was George Mason, of Virginia
who when the trainers of the Con-
stitution of the United States, were
at work on that great document
said: Il have often wondered at the
indifference of the superior classes
of society to this dictate of humani-
ty and policy, considering that how
ever affluent their circumstances, or
elevated their situation may be, the
course OF a few years not only may,
but certainly will distribute their
posterity through the lowest classes
of society. Every selfish motive,
therefore, every family attachment,
ought to recommend such a system
of policy as will provide no less
carefully for the rights and happi-
ness of the lowest as Nell as the
highest orders of society"

Tourists are 10 our city daily, anc

Tourists are 10 our city daily, and
in order to get better acquainted,
we suppose, visit back doors solicit
ing various things to eat. Some of
these fellows make demands as to
what shall be given them and some
get insUlted if not asked in and to a
seat at the table. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that this mode of travel
will become more popular when the
weather gets warmer. Some of these
people are deserving and should not
suffer the pangs of hungry, neither
should they have to sleep in the
cold. Going from door to door is
not in the least conducive to a
higher citizenship or a more manly
man. 1t i; the duty of the cities, or
counties or states to see that all
people have an opportunity to get
food or shelter. We, therefore, be-
lieve that, the city council should
provide rock pile for the benefit OF
hungry tourists who deserved to
work for what they get to eat and
instruct all citizens to report to
some city official all cases of beg
eing food and also to tell Mr.. Tour
list that he could get food and shell
ter by applying at the proper place.

The History of Democracy for the
past twenty years cannot be fairly
written without showing that
Champ Clark has more to do for
the cause of the people than has
any other one man. He has ever
been on the firing line and fighting
valliantly for the rights of man and
since his elevation to the Speaker
ship has unified the party t. such
an extent that victory is in sight
and Champ Clark is the Joshua to
lead on to victory. Now let every
Missouri Democrat write friends in
other states regarding the cause,
With Champ Clark as leader Democ-
racy will sweep the country in
November.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1912-02-29

Every Missouri Democrat should
be interested in the election of
Champ Clark for president. But
first he must secure the nomination
There are Democrats from Missouri
living in all other states. These
MissOurians should be enthusiastic
workers for Clark and many are,
and there are those who have not
thought of the good they could do
for the cause. Let US one and all
do what we can to interest former
Missourians and in fact all good
Democrats of other states in the
fight for Champ Clark for President.
Write to them personally or let the
Democrat have the name and ad-
dress of all Democrats who former
ly lived in this vicinity but are now
living in other states.

Whenever any Democrat goes in
to primary or other form of meet
ing for the nomination of candi-
date or candidates, he is honor
bound to stand by the nominee or
nominees of the party. You would
expect all to stand by the result of
the meeting should the men you
prefer be nominated and they
should. Then, remember it is also
your duty to stand by the nomi-
nees when they are not the ones
whom you prefer and you owe it to
yourself, to your country, to your

Guineas as Watchers.

A good point about guineas is
that they make good watch dog"
Every person who writes of these
fowls mentions this point, but a
good thing will bear repeating, in
common with wild birds. they are
always on the lookout for enemies,
and quickly detect hawks, dogs,
strange persons, etc., that venture
near Their wild cries on such &C.
casions soon put the intruders to
rout, and also put all the fowls on
the place on their guard. If hawks
are numerous a few guineas in the
flock will prove of great help in pre-
venting their depredations.

City politics is beginning to SIM
mer a little. At the April City
election in Monroe City a Mayor,
Marshal, Collector. Police Judge and
one Alderman from each of the
three wards is to be elected. We
cannot be too careful in this cleo
ton. Those who will do most for
the progress and advancement of
Monroe City should be elected. Our
city has reached the point where
we must proceed or receed. In Or
der to advance we must have a
Water Works and Sewerage System
and all day Electric Current. We
need all three for business pur-
poses and when we have them our
city will be in a position to secure
more labor employing institutions.
The water and sewerage system will
save Thousands of dollars annually
paid out in fire insurance premiums
and will aid materially in making
Monroe City more healthful. Fig
ure it in dollars alone water works
and sewerage will pay. AS a dis
ease preventive water works and
sewerage will pay. Then by all
means let us have water works and
sewerage and an all day electric
current. Some men who may be
candidates for Office may favor all
these good things and others may
oppose them and thereby stand
agsinst progress and against a

Practically during all Roosevelt's
administration Taft was close in
the counsels of Roosevelt. Roose-
welt did know, or at least should
have known. whether or not Taft
was capable of being President. If
he knew that Taft was not compe-
tent to be president he perpetrated
the greatest fraud in the history of
America in forcing Taft on the
country as president If on the
other blnd he did know that
Taft was capable of being president
and helped to make him president
Roosevelt is now showing a big
bump of selfishness and love of
power for himself. a streak of the
dictator, something the American
people do not want and for which
they will not stand. Then again
President Taft is standing for a
high tariff, something which the
Republican party has ever stood
for. while Roosevelt is talking for
governmental policies which he so
severely criticised when advocated
by Bryan and other Democrats 1t
looks as though Roosevelt has had
his ear to the ground and heard tire
sentiment of the American people
and is willing to advocate any
measure or do anything to again
get the reins of government in his
hands He has proven himself to
be very cratic and not a man
who will care for the interests of
the people Now, he is looking to the
people to again put in him position
to rule them Before giving him
this power, his ideas of strong
central government should be con-
sidered. Roesevelt's treatment of
Taft is not at all praise worthy and
should be condemned. If Taft pol
icies were right when Taft was
forced on the country by Roosevelt
they are right now and Roosevelt
did know or should have known
Taft's policies. If Roosevelt did not
know Taft's policies or he did mat
tiers not. His letter to the Govern
ocj makes of him a man not worthy
to- hold the high Office of president.
T. he believes in the doctrine of
high tariff, he should stand loyalty
by Taft for a second term. If on
the other hand he has seen the err
ror of the high tariff and that it is
not for the interests of the masses
Roosevelt should be honest with
the people and tell them that he
has found out that a high tariff is
not right and that the principles of
Democracy are right. He should
not want to be elected president on
the principles advocated by Demo-
Gratis or to take the office from his
proteige Taft. But no, he wants
power, for Roosevelt and is willing
to sacrifice anything to get il. If
the people want to be heavily taxed
they should by all means elect Taft.
If they want a low tax, equal rights
to all and special privileges to none
a Democrat should be elected. Of
course, we are ready to do away
with our present form of govern
ment and desire dictator Roosevelt
will do.
