UNITED FOR VICTORY
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS ABOUT
TO RETURN To POWER.
On q Platform Of Tariff Reform and
Progressive Government Success
ful Appeal to the Voters
VIII Be Assured.

Four questions were submitted to
leading Democrats Of the country by
the World:
What are the prospects OF the sue
cess Of your party candidate for the
presidency II existing conditions con-
tinho as at present? @~
who in your estimation should be
the candidate of the national conven-
ton of your party in order to enlist
the support Of the majority OF voters
In your state?
What in your judgment should be
the issues upon which your party
should make its appeal to the voters
OF your state for their support!
DO you believe that 'Conserva-
tive or q Progressive policy would
best contribute to the success OF your
party?"
The answers to these questions
show an astonishing unanimity OF
sentiment.
So far as issues are concerned the
Democratic party ls united as " has
not been united since 1892. 1t Is for
tariff reform and progressive gov
ernment.
So far as candidates are concerned.
the sentiment Of the party is divided
only on the question Of availability,
with Woodrow Wilson and Judson
Harmon decidedly in the lead. The
blunder of 1904 is not to be repeated,
when Wall street Democrats we're al
lowed to go to the front long enough
to discredit the ticket although Wall
street itself was secretly financing the
Roosevelt campaign.
Whether the majority sentiment
swings toward Wilson or Harmon or
Underwood is a minor question at this
time, The important fact is that the
country again has united, progress
sive, militant Democratic party eapa-
BILE Of restoring the balance of govern
ment-New York World.

Style In Mournlnr.

Spectacular mourning is not 20
popular as II was some years ago"
said the manager Of city department
store in answer to an inquiry On that
subject. There is still large busl.
ness done in all kinds OF mourning
goods, but either the somber PCei7d
has grown shorter or many hersased
persons prefer not to be conspicuous
because Of their sorrows, for the sale
OF mourning goods has fallen OF. In
the stationery department there seems
to be no change--in fact. the demand
for black bordered cards aud writing
paper has increased" To Illustrate
the quality Of some SHOW mourning"
he said: AT stationery establish.
ment short time ago a woman n
deepest black asked 10 see samnles
of dinner dance cards, She selse.e4
one and ordered one handfed &c te
done on black bordsrea cards cont

People Are Not So stupId.

That ancient and many times de-
ieGted subsidy proposition makes ap-
pearance in new form.
Among the many suggestions for In
suring a large amount of business for
the Panama canal comes the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Simpson, secretary
of war, that rebates be allowed on the
tolls charged for American vessels.
In other words, Mr., Simpson would
have subsidies distributed In the
shape Of rebates instead OF in the way
of direct payments from the national
treasury. He would have the people
make a present Of cash to the favored
shippers and shipowners in advance
instead Of after possible service.
The people are not so stupid that
they will not be able to see through
this ingenious proposition for whip
ping the devil round the stump. They
are not prepared to put out their good
money for the benefit of any class OF
men.

He LENDS MONEY ON ANIMALS
Or. Martin Potter Takes Strange

Buncoed Him. f

Not even the author of the Club OF

Dr.. Martin Potter, says the New York
correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Times-etar. He runs an animal pawn
shop. II you have lion that you
don't need as badly as you need the
money, or want to soak a trained bear

phant until you hear from horne, go

the money against your live stock and
he will not charge you any Interest
But youll have to pay the board I

Point Not TO ns oyerIooked.

While the American Antitrust
league is hiring halls to denounce
men In official station who "surren-
dered to Steel II should not overlook
Theodore Roosevelt. Not that any.
body is likely to forget II, but merely
that the biggest surrenderer Of them
all deserves the main load Of blame
whenever the subject is discussed. II
the American Antitrust hague really
wishes to do the country a service Il

the question: How much. II any

Mr., Taft's Confession.

EXPLANATION and apologies are
feeble planks for a platform on which
a president must stand for reelection,
and Mr.. Taft's confession shows that
he realizes his mistakes. This is
creditabie to the man. but does not
Justify the president
Why should the people re-elect to
the greater once Of president a man
who frankly svows his serious blum
ders, but pleads that they we're due
ito ignorance and lack Of thoughtful
deliberationi Would Mr.. Taft ever
have tried to amend or even have
discovered his errors II popular con-
demnation had not brought him to
a realization OF their importance and
OF his own responsibllity?-St Louis

TOO PROLONGED AN INFANCY
Some Facts as to InquItIes Of "Protec-
tlve' System Which VIII Appeal
to All Taxpayers.

The first tariff act under the Con-
stitution became law July 4, 1859.
II was the only such act that congress
ever expressly declared to be intend
ed In any degree for protection.
This act laid specific duties on 38
enumerated articles, and ad valorem
duties on 81 enumerated articles. 1t
put 10 others on the free list. On all
other articles It laid level Ave per
cent duty.
The highest ad valorem rate was
on carriages-l5 per cent. The prin-
cipal articles on which specific duties
we're laid were spirits, wines and matt
liquors, tea, coffee, tobacco, iron ami
steel. Some OF these specific duties
we're for protection, and some we're
Tor revenue only. Some Of them were
equivalent to more than Is per cent.
and some were not.
The duties of both kinds In fact pro-
duced revenue equal to Sh per cent.
of the value Of all imports. The ex-
cess Of this over the level five per
cent. rate-that Is 3h per cent.-was
about the measure OF average protec-
tion.
Average protection today, after
nearly century and a quarter Of
progress in industrial efficiency and
the accumulation Of vast capital in the
protected industries. Is nearly eight
times as great
Does any intelligent man who has
given serious attention to the subject
believe our industries need eight
times, or twice, or even as much pro-
lection as they did 1922 years ago.
when they we're indeed In their In
Tancyf
II so, what does he think they will
need after another century and a
quarter Of dry nursing?
