The Big Spenders.

The biggest contributors to Demo
cratic success at present are Messrs.
Roosevelt and Taft. whose bureaus
are costing $4,000 a day apiece.
The more they spend against each
other the worse they do for the Re-
publican party, whose failure Is the
issue OF their controversy. They are
in effect only advertising their party's
and each others shortcomings to the
country. II the Democratic national
committee had it they might spend
$4,000 day to the same purpose
with less effect.
/ There Is more educational value for
the people in one day Of controversy
between the Republican leaders than
there would be In flooding the mails
with campaign literature for month.
II either the Taft or the Roosevelt bu-
reau runs out of funds it would pay
the Democrats to keep them going at
their own expense, II possible.

Democratic Opportunity.

The Democratic responsibility, no
less than the Democratic opportunity,
is tremendous, for upon the Democrat
ic party rests the obligation to afford
the country decent alternative in
government, in, case the present confu-
sion and strife within the Republican
ranks leaves the Republican party
helpless to continue effectively in
the administration of the nations af-
fairs.-Springfeld Republican.
