WOODROW WILSON'S RECORD

The Democratic party is party of measures and principles It is not party of paceholders to get and keep the jobs Jefferson founded ths great organization to protect the interests of the of mankind against the oppression of the privileged classes, who in his day. had uniformly ruled the countries for their own purposes
 Never has the Democratic party nominated an abler exponent of Jeffersonian democracy than Governor Woodrow Wilson, whose acts square with his words
 When Governor Wilson says that the government must be brought to the people, and that the people must be equipped with mechanisms for expressing their will he is not speaking the language of theoret can idle talker but practical statesman who has put into operation in his state the instrumental ties of which he favors for the other states
 Under his administration New Jersey passed direct primaries law, under which nominations are taken from Candidates thus made responsible to the peoples will the people enabled to act directly instead of in directly, upon the questions before them
 Under his administration New Jersey adopted the initiative and referendum by which the people are en- abed to veto laws which do not meet their approval and pass laws which do meet their approval and these surrounded with such safeguards prevent hasty or undemanded, action
 Under his administration New Jersey joined the col system and enabled the direct selection of United States senator's
 Under his administration New Jersey adopted a workmen's compensation act
 Governor Wilson's is a record of performance in of- ce equaed by that of statesmen since the days of Abraham Lincoln.

HELICOPTER AND PLANE

News comes from Belgium that TO- rary wings have been added to the or dinarv type of aeroplane with the re- suit that the machines rise directly from the ground. ard that they are more stable in the l' and able to turn as upon a pivot while flying.
 Details of the invention are lacking. If the news proves to be correct a great gain will have been made to- ward the complete conquest of the air.
 The rotary wing would be an ap- plication of the helicopter principle by which theoretically it should be possible to lift flying machine per pendicularly in a straight line from it's starting position.
 Gus Whitehead. the well known fly ing machine inventor, of this city, has worked upon the helicopter for years, without however getting the results he hopes to attain.
 If the helicopter can be used in con- junction with the ordinary planes to get a direct lift and to give stability the flying machine may soon be as common as the automobile.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY

The fact that another man was se- lacted at Baltimore has made no diff ference t othem. Governor Foss is campaigning in Vermont in behalf of the Democratic ticket; Speaker Champ Clark and Representative Underwood have already taken an active part in counsels of their party, and Governor Baldwin and Governor Harmon will take the stump after September 1st and make as many speeches as may be required. Governor Marshall and Sneaker Clark are campaigning in Maine and Vermont and MT.

PUBLIC OPINION
DREW'S EDITORIAL.

Editor of Farmer, Dear Sir:-
 The War Circus has come and gone. The Government has blown in $2,000,- 900. The show was as good as any one could put up. The time and place perfect. Nothing in actual war times ever did or could be like it, the near est comparison to it in the animal or bird world is the performance of two half grown Cock Turkeys, which would have to be seen to be appre- ciated.
 The AXIOM, that if you are ready to fight, you do not have to, is a FAIL LACY. The Spanish in Cuba, the Russians in Manchuria, the French, these thought they were ready to fight and got beautifully licked. Now to accommodate Hobson or any other of his class, suppose Japan, Russia, France and Germany combined to in- wade the U. S. and each put up 250.- 900 men, all told 100000 men backed by the equipment of modern times. FIRST, none of these could land in the U. $. and less of them would ever see their native soil than got home from Bonaparte's trip to Russia There is one thing I should think Leonard Wood and for that mat ter all the State Governors, would the U. $.

DON'T DO IT

The gentlemen to whom Providence has consigned the trusteeship of the coal deposits are singularly obtuse to the movement of public opinion. They have adopted as their motto, After us the deluge." The deluge for them will arrive earlier than they expect if. if the determination to bring household coal supply to it's highest point is adhered to this winter.
 The coal barons, entrenched as they are and insolent as they are, are not absolutely beyond the reach of the people and the peoples government.
 Their coal reaches may be con- demned, may be made public prop erty and may be operated under gov ernment lease. or directly, by govern n1ent employees.
 Their coal prices may be subjected to government scrutiny and fixed at point which will not permit extor- ton.
 Or government may open the vast coal deposits which are public do- main and hurl enough coal into the market to keep the price just and reasonable.
 All of these methods have been used by governments in various parts of.

THE INSURENCE TRUST

The National Board of Fire Under writers has issued it's annual report on the condition of Bridgeport as a fire risk, which means, from the standpoint of the board, Bridgeport s possibilities as a source of rich profits to the fire insurance trust.
 This report begins with a paragraph in which this significant language oc- CUTS.
 Number of fires moderate; loss per capita low.''
 Why then are premium charges high, and the fire prevention expense per capita higher.
 The truth is that Bridgeport has one of the best fire departments in the world.
 It has fire loss as low as fire losses can go.
 But the city has been overcharged for fire insurance for years, and the extortionate premiums are going high CT all the time. The second city of Connecticut is veritable Golconda for fire insurance princes. It is an Fl Dorado of pickings.
 But never a word about profits and never a prospect of reducing rates is given in return for the city's effort
 The fact that the number of it's fires are moderate and that it's loss per capita is low is of no benefit to the citizens, so far as their pockets are concerned the property of those who are insured might as well burn.
 But the underwriters cry with sten- torian voice, Make your fire depart ment stronger, make your buildings incombustibIe, fire proof your house. hold goods, put tank on your roof and flood your home when you see smoke. add private fire alarm systems to the public system, make your high ways smooth as glass so that fire engines may go faster, stop your peo- pie using water so more of it can run down to the conflagration, and 50 on and so on."
 In return for all these expensive precautions the underwriters will raise rates.

FIRST THINGS

The first revelation commanding the practice of polygamy by the Nor mons was publicly announced by Brig ham Young, then president of the sect, sixty years ago today. This doc Urine, which created sensation throughout the world, was subse- quently confirmed by other divine rev elations received by Young, but has since been abandoned. Young died Aug 29, 1877, thirty-five years ago today, exactly quarter of century after he proclaimed polygamy as nec- essary to salvation. He had prac- ticed what he preached, and seventeen widows, sixteen sons and twenty eight daughters were left to mourn his loss

PARTIES AND EMPHASIZES.
(From the Philadelphia Press.


 In the face of this declaration, the settled Government policy of provid- ing for two new battleships a year is held up by the House of Representa- tives. This is done at the command of a Democratic House caucus re- pudiating the professed desire and promise of it's party before the ink in which it's platform was written scarcely had time to dry. It is not so very uncommon to see platform pledges neglected after election. It remained for a Democratic Congress sional caucus to go the length of re- pudiating Democratic National Con- vention pledge as soon as it was adopted.
 The two new battleship programme should be maintained. All parties are committed to it, and it involves bad faith and a broken pledge for the Democrats to annul and defeat it. Another caucus has been called to relieve members from the mo bat tleship' instructions. which gives the Democrats another chance to redeem themselves and keep their platform pledge for an adequate navy.
