Mr Darling has boldly and repeated.

that with Theodore Roosevelt dead or
alive or elected or defeated. the pro
gressive party viii not give UP the
fight until il has established a strong
centralized. paternalistic government -
Miss Adams has been attracted by
the humanitarian phases of the pro-
gressive platform. Naturally. she
gives but little thought to those pro-
posals that affect the whole structure
OF the governmental organization. and
on this purely political phase of the
third term agitation Mr.. Darling must
be accepted as the better authority, as
the more accurately interpreting the
purposes of the third term candidate.

question to be determined on next

last. This was the levy which reused
the ire of the element which became
active in organizing the alleged TAX
Leagues" over the state, and proves
the capacity of the men composing the
state board of equalization, who took
the position that moderately high taxes
were preferable to the annual deficit
which had loomed up with discourag-
ing regularity since statehood-that it
was not wise to trust longer to the
precarious collection of corporation
taxes tied up in the federal courts, but
at once adopt the pay-as-you-go sys-
tenn. Hence, there is a slump in re-
publican stock, as there viii be no de-
fieit to howl about next year. And, if
by any hook or crook the hundreds of
thousands of back corporation taxes
can ever be collected it can be used to
wipe out the deficits which its non-col-
lection has created. The surplus which
will accrue from 1912 taxes by the time
they are all in will help some, too.
Wanted-An issue fer the league of
tax-dodgers next year. Every good
citizen, democrat or republican, will
say, amen, let the good work go on:
keep what we have bargained for, pay
out as fast as possible. and keep down
future appropriations until the funds
accumulate to cover them.

During the dreary. drizzly morning
hour when copy was scarce we fished
the following out of the waste basket
and rescued from oblivion this choice
bit of fall" poetry:
Old Sol is growing old and weak.
He smiles his best but warmth is
lacking:
The leaves are filling up the creek.
And stealthy rabbits set them crack
ing:
The singing birds have southward fled,
Or else are seeking sheltered
thickets:
The flowers Of summer ali are dead
and vanished are the summers
criekets;
But sumae flashes near the road,
And hills are clothed in gold and
glory;
The best that in the sunset gloBed
The woods have caught, and tell the
story;
The world inspires, and mems desires
Must rise to higher aim and duty
When every leaf. ere il expires.
Works out its destiny in beauty.

Grim winter is time OF dread to
people who are shy of bread, who hear
the wolf before their door, and have no
credit at the store. whose children cry
in vain for cake to soothe their painful
stomach ache. Alas, that some must
groan and cuss, when from the north
the wintry blast goes screaming and
rip-snorting past, For when the shack
is well supplied with flour, and bacon
on the side, when we have apple pies
and mince, gooseberry jam and peach
and ounce, and coal and cordwood b.
the ton, and in the clock roll of mon.
then winter is a thing sublime, with
all its snow and sleet and rime. To sit
beside cheerful fire, and read a book
or punch a tyre, and hear above the
household din the storm go whooping
past like sin,-that's solid comfort,
such as spring or summer days can
never bring. | hope that when the
winter comes, and old King Blizzard
ups and huns, you all may know the
peace and bliss of sitting by the fire
like this And if. while to the fire. We
tend, we think of hard up folks and
send some pies or cordwood to the
poor, our happiness viii be more sure.

This national campaign is being
fought on great issues. The political
parties are divided upon moral and
political questions as never before in
the history of the country The de-
mand Of the voters is knowledge of
men and measures. Honest Jim
Davenport who has served you in con
gress, has always been found standing
for the common people. who make up
the great mass OF voters. He has voted
for the great progressive measures
that have been made issues in this
campaign. and still stand for them
openly. declaring for them all. Can

working mans pay envelope. As
Samuel S. Dale. editor Of the Textile
World says. this is not protection but
exclusion It is the wall behind which
the wool trust monopoly has develop
ed and the wool trust has even lower
standard Of wages than the steel trust
It's average annual pay 70 heads of
families is S4000o. while the percent
age Of profit to the owners OF mills is
enormous. The wool trust is one Of
, the trusts the Roosevelt plan OF COW
troll would maintain and there is moth
ing in the third term program to guar.
antee the workers in the wool mills
what Col. Roosevelt calls social and
industrial justice. The mere regnla-
tion OF hours. legislation against the
labor of women and children. and i'm
proved sanitary conditions will not of
themselves solve the problem. No
matter what the hours may be. no mat
ter what may be the conditions under
which labor is performed, no man can
bring up and educate a family and
maintain the right sort Of home life on
an income of $4,000 a year. Some
way must be found TO bring about
more equitable distribution of the
profits so that labor may get a larger
share. The third term program offers
nothing definite to this end. The
democratic party proposes TO destroy
the wall behind which monopoly hides
and to bring about competition in
industry which will increase the op-
portunities OF the wage Garner.
Investigation has shown beyond al
dispute that the lowest standard of
wages prevails in the greatest, trusts,
and where monopoly is more complete.
The wool trust is at the bottom of the
list with an annual pay for heads Of /
families of $4,000 The steel trust
comes next with $4,000; the meat
trust pays s57s.o0; the manufacturer
of boots and shoes s5Os,0o; the glove
manufacturers s650.00: the collar and
shirt manufacturers and the oil trusts
each s662.00. The two most effective
monopolies with the greatest demand
for skilled labor have the lowest aver
age of wages.

REVIEW AND PROPHECY.

There are fourteen states regarding
which there is no controversy, and in
which with two or three exceptions
the opposition to the democratic can
didates is merely nominal These
states are Alabama, Arkansas. Flor
ida, Georgia. Kentucky, Louisiana.
Maryland, Mississippi, North Caro-
lima, Oklahoma. South Carolina. Ten
nessee. Texas and Virginia. Mary
land is the only one of them which
has cast solid republican vote for
president in a generation or more;
twice Maryland has divided her vote
and once Kentucky did the same.
These fourteen states will have i57
votes in the electoral college. OF the
remaining s47 electoral votes only 10s
are necessary to the election of Gov
ernor Wilson.
Because of the peculiar conditions
existing this year and because of the
character of the candidates and the
campaign which is being waged. the
following states with III electoral
votes are as surely democratic as
those named in the foregoing list:
Arizona Colorado. Indiana, Iowa,
Maine. Missouri, Montana, New Jer.
sey, Ohio. and West Virginia.
Thus is Governor Wilson's election
accomplished without the votes of
Massachusetts, New York. Pennsyl-
vanfa, Michigan, Illinois. Wisconsin.
Nebraska. Kansas. and the
other New England states and the
Rocky mountain and Pacific coast
states, This is not 10 say that in
these states. the chances Of the demo
cratic nominee are not a good as
thoe Of his opponents. for in each one
= them they are infinitely better. but
the fact is merely recorded here to
show what wss stated at the outset.
