History is rerlete with such in
stances. All the dark pages Of
the worlds history have for their
cause the oppression Of the many
by the few, Has the French
Reign of Terror no significance
to our plutocrats? Has the love
of god obliterated from their
minds the lessons, written in
blood, that the ages have handed
down?
The high COST of living that is
now making existence a problem
with the laborer is a question
that needs a solution NOW. In
stead of honestly trying to give
relief to the people, the powers
that govern the plutocrats are
deliberately procrastinating. Taft,
that oily apology for a Chief Elk
ecutive, is now advocating a COM
mission to investigate the cost Of
living in other countries. He has
had a tariff commission studying
the tariff. 1t is all a soporific
intended to lull the people to
sleep while the plutocrats con-
t tinue to plumber.

Gov. Wilson's Chances

The World is unable TO agree with
its friend Col. Watterson that "the
Woodrow Wilson presidential boom
has started on the down-grade."
Viewing the situation without pref
udice, we should say that the Gov
ernor of New Jersey is still the lead.
ing Democratic candidate for the
nomination, and that he is still the
only candidate who has shown
strength IN all sections OF the coun-
try.
Whether Gov. Wilson can maintain
this lead or whether he can obtain
two-thirds of the delegates in the ma
tional convention is quite a different
matter. The Democratic contest has
been obscured by the Roosevelt-Taft
fight. but that is not misfortune. Very
little attention is being paid TO the
Democratic aspirants. The public
knows instinctively that the action
of the Democratic convention will be
