II SN'T Colonel Roosevelt the foxy
l. guy, though! He's just going to
catch that high cost of living "acomin'
and agoin'.''
In his recent speech to the Vernon,
farmers the colonel told them that
his platform provided for the increase
in the price of farm products to the
farmer, but for the decrease in that
price to the consumer. Told it with
a serious and strenuous face, too.
But the colonel, with that wealth
Of omission of detail and fact, and
plentitude of much worded generali-
ties for which he is so justly famous
failed to show how he is going to do
it.
OF course, the colonel said much
about the proposition-especially
about the country life commission he
will revive to show the Mariners how
to live; the work he will have the
agricultural department do to increase
the productivity Of the soil and how
he believes in cooperation-al1 sub
jects talked of for, To-, these many
years, and while the cost of living to
both farmers and consumers has
steadily climbed. 81
But the colonel said nothing about
taking the tariff off those articles
his friends of the trusts sell abroad
at lower prices than they charge for
them in this country. =:
/ Nor did he tell why, during his sew
en- and one-half years in the White
House with the most autocratic au-
thority ever president had, the
trusts grew strong, prices advanced
and the cost of living got it's running
start. All without his, hand being
raised to help the consumer or the
farmer, both of whom were hit hard
by those Interests so friendly to us. -
"By their fruits shall we know
them" And wordy promises and gilt
tering generalities are scarcely ii be
called fruits in any line Of business
unless it be that Of office seeking.
In this case the people who have suf-
fered and are suffering from the ef-
fects of the Roosevelt administrations
will be very apt not to consider
them fruits. ..
This year it is not the colonels
words, it is the Democratic record,
that is showing the people the way to
more equitably distribute the load and
bring Justice to all

THE NUMBER OF VOTES.

HE census bureau has decided
l. that this year there will be
2,650,0O0 male voters who have never
before cast a presidential ballot, and
$4,000 female voters who through
the laws of the suffrage states will
be entitled to join in the naming Of
a president. This makes total of
25,6S2,000 voters in the country this
fall. "$t.@ e. .rr4c. Ri. u.,-..:> (
For 20 years past the increase in
the actual number of votes cast at
the presidential elections has been
less than the growth Of population.
The increase of the population be
tween 900 and 1910 was 81 per cent,
but the Increase in the number Of
voters from 1900 to 1908 was only
10 per cent. In 1890 more than one
person voted for president to every
FIVE Of population; in. 1908 less than
one person voted to every six Of
population l. tts; a$$3js. ID. 15zz.2. @5z I.

Favors for cormOrants.

Thus do our sagacious Legislators
stultify themselves in the interest Of
the cormorants to whom they grant
special privileges, because, forsooth,
they claim to heal without medi-
cines! There is now no discrimination
against schools of medicine" There
fore the special protection demanded
for them by the bull moose platform is
gratuitous and intended only to entrap
votes. The "healers" belong to no
school. Now comes Theodore Rex and
dlgnlfes them by a special provision
and, expressing a most tender regard
for their sensibilities, promises to
shield them against discrimination by
educated physicians.
This platform would raise the Quack
and healer above the men who daily
exemplify their personal and profess
sional superiority by some unselhsh
devotion to the public veal. In his
sagerness to placate the influential
hord Of empires Mr.. Roosevelt would
have us oblivious of the fact that the
kAA0
educated physician is the only real
altruist in the community. Instead OF
arousing the public conscience IT. RS
tavorite slogan this self appointed re-
former deepens the crying shame and
thus exemplihea again that under no
circumstances need he be bound by
his prior professions.
President Taft has won the approval
II the quacks and healers by his med
lcal regulations Of the canal zone:
hence this Machiavellian policy. Flu
mre generations will substitute "Roos-
sveltian' for "Machlavellian." Politics
make strange bedfellows indeed. Be-
hold Taft and Roosevelt under tho

These legislative enactments require
all persons who propose to become
physicians not only to pursue a more or

education, but also II be trained In all
branches of medicine and. besides, to
be subject to a rigid examination by
appointees Of the state. All these serve
