Wilson the Coming Man.

Representative Burleson, OF
Texas, the chairman of the Demo
cratic House caucus, said:
"A great opportunity, as well
as a great responsibility, will
confront Democrats when our
convention meets in Baltimore.
Certain success is within our
grasp provided we there lay aside
sentiment aud prejudice and per-
NIT cool judgment to control our
actions.
"The result Of the coming cleo.
ton will depend upon the vote of
two doubtful sections, the cen.
tral east, embracing New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and
Massachusetts, and the middle
west, embracing Indiana, Ohio,
Wisconsin and Nebraska. The
element who will determine the
contest is not the partisan Demo
.crst, or the thick'and'thin Repub-
lican, hut rather that large and
increasing number Of cur fellow
citizens who, standing on the
border line Of the two great par.
ties, make up what ia commonly
called the independent vote.
"If we are wise at Baltimore, a
candidate will be named whose
record is such that he can com
mand the supp ort of this class Of
voters. If we name such candi.
date, success is assured---if we
fail to do SO, the result will not
ouly be involved in doubt, but We
invite defeat. The outcome of

easily be forecast, and as against

himself at the young mans elbow,
watched him as he labored over his
subject.

remarked the man decidedly.
The student blinked angrily and the
hand that wilded the brush trembled
slightly, but he took no notice of the
unsolicited criticism.

Still no reply from the student,
who ostentatiously slapped on more
yellow in the high light on the nose.

Washington Letter.

While the country is being ex-
cited by the struggles between the
many aspirants for the presidential
nominations, it is a pleasing fact
to know that the industries of the
country are showing greater activ-
ity than at any time since the year
of 1907.
During the past months orders
have been placed for 5000 freight
cars and I65 locomotives. Since
April Ist. orders have been placed
for 40, 1000 cars and more than 500
locomotives. In addition to these,
large orders have been placed for
an early delivery of steel rails.
The increased activity among the
railroads and large orders for steel
and iron products are the surest
signs of reviving business and the
return of prosperity, as railroads
above all others are infallible bar
ometers of business conditions and
when they begin placing orders it
is evident that the business of the
country is in a healthy condition.
With the very evident signs of
healthy business coming to the
front, the hopes of the republicans

sidency this fall is growing bright

Can He Be Trusted?

NOI. w dklCl OOi Va A~obiO 'AA~3
Ky, in an editorial on Roosevelt,
said in part:
Among the reckless and ruthless,
the ignorant and the disconnected,
the glib-tongued demagogue OBJ
tanned recruits. Reading the
speeches, or hearing these people
speak one is reminded
of the epigram of Roche
foucauld, AS it is the mark of
great minds to say many things IN
few words, so is it that of little
minds to use many words to say
nothing" But when such becomes
the pastime of selfish demagogue
having following it becomes a
menace. Unsound subjects may
be known by their shallow oratory,
by the use of the slang of the gut
ter, by hyperbole and anti-climax,
by flights of sheer bombast and in
vective, by voluble overflow of
words with no real underlying
thought, and these have marked
the utterancee of Theodore Roose-
welt throughout the present cam
paign.
So the people, the real people,
will have to determine once tor all,
in the coming presidential election,
whether such mailman and such
methods shall prevail or whether
we shall still have a government, a
constitution and country worth
living and dying for.
In 1861 the existence of the I'm
ion and the integrity of the govern
ment, bound up in the Union, had
to face a supreme exigency. The
compact of states, not too strongly
or too securely joined together IN
the first place, was rudely broken.
The constitution, which proved
but rope of sand, was invoked by
both sections. They were equally
sincere, equally determined, equal
ly ready to fight. Happily for free
dom, happily for racehood and
manhood, happily for the self
governing principle, the arbltra-
ment of arms, met on either side
by a well-nigh united response,
left us yet nation.
At length this nation is a world
power. The issue precipitated by
Theodore Roosevelt is to decide
whether that arbitrament was In
vain; whether that sublime decision
of the sword, with all that went
before it and all that it carried
with it, shall be nulif1ed; whether
become a world power, this nation
shall proclaim to mankind its own
failure by the abandonment of its
constitution, the overthrow of its
safeguards and the naming of a
dictator. He who says this is not
the issue, little recks what he is
saying; he who thinks it is not,
were prudent to question his sani-
ty. In its ultimate analysis, and
its last word, the Roosevelt propa-
ganda is the invocation of a mad
man to Civil war.
