TO THYSELF BE TRUE

Py thine own souls law learn to live
And if men thwart thee take no heed,
And If men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy song and do thy deed
Hope thou thy hope, and pray thy
prayer,
And claim no crown they will not give
Nor bays they grudge thee for thy
hair.
Keep thou thy soul-worn, steadfast
oath
And to thy heart be true thy heart;
What thy soul teaches learn to know,
And play out thine appointed part.
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt
Nor helped nor hindered in thy
growth
To- thy fun stature thou shalt grow.
Fix on the futures goal thy face,
And let thy feet be lured to stray
NO whittier. but be swift to run,
7 nd nowhere tarry by the way,
Until at the last the end is won
And thou mayst look back from thy
place
And see thy long days journey done.

pEmocRAcYs OPPORTUNITY

The cause of Democracy in this ep-
ochal political year is one cause IN
state and nation. Amidst all the
varied contentious and inyolYements,
political, economical and social In
these times of unrest and agitation
and danger there are basic primer
pies OF constitutional representative
government that are essential 20 the
integrity of our institutions, of which
TIE Democratic party has been by its
record and its traditions the expon-
ent and in peculiar sense the Gus
t9dian Whatever mistakes ii may
have made-and it has made many
whatever vagaries it may have enter
tained-and 1t has at times been
sweryed into inconsistent courses
whatever of triumphs it has achieved
or reverses it has suffered. it has. as
10 other political party has done, held
IN reserve and clung 10 cardinal
principles of faith that are the safe
guards of the Republic founded by|
our forefathers.
And whatever may be SAID and ad-
yocated of progressive" ideas and
policies. there is at the heart of De
nlocracy a sound and wholesome con
servatism upon which the government
must depend in meeting and satisfac-
torily solving the problems which con-
front the country. that have largely
grown out of a disregard of princl-
pies for which the Democratic party
has contended.
Much of the evil that is now com
claimed of has resulted from the per-
version Of the tariff TO ends that have
operated to the advantage of special
interests and an undue burdening OF
the people-at1arge, and the tarih
question is yet the leading issue in
American politics. Upon every hand
Il is now admitted that revision OF
the tariff schedules must be made
that viii be in the true interest of
the people and with due regard for
legitimate business interests. This is
a work the Republican party has fall
ed to accomplish or honestly to un-
dertake, and the country must de-
pend upon the Democratic party, |
which has a historic record of emf
nRnt service, and is now the organiza-
ton through which needed govern
mental reforms must be effected.
To this end it behooyes Democrats I,
10 work together in every state and
district, maintaining the party organ |
iGation in its greatest strength and
Unity for carrying the elections in
November
