MR.. BURDEN' BURDEN.

Profoundest sympathy Of all m"r-
ciful people will go out to |. Town
send Burden. man Of millions ana
cot,llons. He bemoans in language
nathetic that there Is hardly any
place in America for people OF upper
tendon; people Of birth and breeding
people who have got far enough away
from ancestors. who did things and
made their wealth for them to be idie
and "aristocratic."
When in America Mr.. Burden Is oil
New York in winter and Newport
and Bar Harbor in summer. In Ne"
York ne can protect himself from the
vulgar mob Of the new rich, but ms
g~rievous plant Is that the undesir-
ables have invaded the places which
were once peopled only by exclusives
The offending persons have as much
or more money than the Burdens,
they can pay any price for lane n
build grand palaces at any cost. bu'
they have no manners. no polish. nc
grand airs. and are not to be toll
Grated.
Curious to say. Mr.. Burden suggests
that the millionaires whose idle and
honorable ancestry dates back al
least for one generation. might find
a haven on tho Pacific coast. II has
been supposed that if there We're any
place in the world where the ne"
rich are more insistent than any
other it ia on the Pacific coast. If
that is the last resort. the ultimate
paradise, the case of the Burdens and
their set is pitiable indeed.
Really there are other places,
MANY islands OF the sea yet lie fall
low, waiting 70 be enriched by the
refined and cultivated. Let the Bur
dens Of America buy one of these
while they are In the market, while
they are yet uncontamtnated by the
presence of the vulgar new rich, re-
move thither en- masse. and have the
craved isolation all to their own
precious selves.

STRIKING AT WILSON. TOO.

The democrats in congress are de-
ttrminedly putting through a pro-
gram of legislation that "a features
scarcely less odious to Woodrow Will
son than to President Taft. Some of
these objectionable measures We're in
dorsed by the Baltimore platform, but
as the democratic candidate has tax
en- advantage of the Bryan resolution
declaring that the platform should
conform to what h nominee stands
for. that document is sound party
doctrine only in SO far as it can show
he" Scagrit stamp of approval.
That Woodrow Wilson feels that
the convention made him the un-
trammeled leader and spokesman of
democracy, and that he means TO
avail himself of the opportunity, is
clearly evident from his reply to the
warning delivered by a prominent
New York democrat. that many dem
ocrats are going to support Roose-
Welt unless the ~latter's vote-getting
arguments are refuted. In respond
ing to which DIR. Wilson said. lucidly,
that he. "for the present at any rate,
represents the earnest desires and
purposes of the democratic party
And as Mr.. Bryan lost no time in fully
acquiescing in the candidates speech
of acceptance, the fact is made clear
and absolute that the leadership no
longer resides in the body that took
unto itself to shape the issues and
provide the ticket.

dealing with the tariff. the trusts. the

of government. He must be, therefore,
wholly out Of sympathy with the
measure that makes for a return to
the old spells system in federal pat
ronage. and also the resolve to resent
a veto by indefinitely %prolonging the
session as a stroke Of retaliation.
Are Chairman Fitzgerald and his
democratic colleagues not as far out
Of touch with the candidate and the
policies they stand pledged to support
as they are with the things they
openly war against? Is their propa-
ganda not moro the propaganda of
Colonel Roosevelt than Of Woodrow
wilson! HarraSSlng the republican
president has its reckoning in embar-
RAISING the democratic candidate.
Did not Governor Wilson have his
party associates in congress in mind
when he said at Seagirt in his speech
of acceptance that if democracy fails
to give proof now Of its fitness to gov
crn it will be given another
chance? Standing at a turning point
in our politics. the party must make
good or go out of business. ut is
n case of put UP or shut up" the
speaker added. because words are
going to be discounted and nothing
will be honored except the actual
carrying out of such a program as
sensible men may unite in for the
common benefit"

president Taft. regardless of political
lalth. Very naturally, the farmers
argue that in the last sixteen years
the prices of farm products have been
continually increasing, to the profit of
the farmer.
The high price of farm products
has enabled a great many farmers of

declare that while they have always

Pollcles. they see no reason WIN
