There are two good and
sufficient reasons why
Champ Clark, of Missouri,

important reason is his emf

THE WHOLESALE UPLIFT.

Ten or twelve years ago. when
S. S. Mcclure armed Lincoln Stef-
fens with a muckrake and start
ed his so-called national Journal
ISM" the country was deluged with
muck-rakers. Imitators of Mr. Nc
Clure and Mr.. Steffins sprang up
in every magazine office in the
country. The sowing of the dragons
teeth was nothing to it.
A few years ago, when a general
protest arose from an over-muck
raked public, a reaction set in. The
magazines began to print what is
known as the "uplift" feature. The
rakes were taken away from the
special writer's, and all the experts
were told to get busy writing of
reforms-court reforms, prison re-
forms, business reforms, political
reforms, reforms on the farm, etc.
Even the fiction began to have an
"uplift" touch-when the writer's
were not busy initiating o. Henry
and the thing has grown until today
the gentle reader is pretty sure to
/ get large fifteen cents worth OF
'uplift when he buys most any
magazine.
The currelt American Magazine is
an example of the awful lengths to
which the 'uplift" movement has
gone. Ray Stannard Baker does
some uplifting about the Lawrence
strike. Ida Terbell uplifts in behalf
OF one of her pet reforms. William
Allen White uplifts Theodore Roose
welt at the expense of President
Taft-and the editor promptly lifts
Mr.. Taft back in few spicy dis
senting notes-and Hugh Fullerton
uplifts in behalf of baseball, while
Mr.. Dooley. at the back of the mag
azine, shows what he can do in the
way of dialectless uplifting regard
ing the presidency
IL Is all as grand and inspiring as
Mr.. McClure's early ''aational Jour
nalism' was shocking and depress-
ing After reading the entire fifteen
cents worth of uplift provided by
the average magazine editor each
month, we fail to see how any man
can fail to believe that before the

DO WE VOTE BLINDLY:

Writing on the excess of misgov
ernment in this country above 9th
ers, Richard S. Childs says under
the above caption:
"Of course intelligent citizens dc
not vote without knowing what the,
are doing. Oh. no. You, MIR. Reader
for Instance, you vote intelligently
always! of course you do. But whom
did you vote for for surrogate last
time? You don't know? Well then,
whom did you support for state
auditor? For state treasurer? For
court judge? and who is your alder
man? Who represents your district
at the state capitol? Name please,
all the candidates you voted for at
the last election. OF course you
know the president and the govern
or and the mayor, but there was a
long list of minor officers beside
Unless yuo are active in politics
fear you flThk this examination. II
your ballot had. by a printers err
ror, ommitted the State Comptrol
Ter" entirely. you would probably
not have missed it. You ignored nine
tenths of your bcllot, voting for thos
you did know about, and cast
ing a straight party ticket for the
rest, not because of party loyalty,
but because you did not know OF
anything better to do. You need
not feel ashamed of it. Your neigh
bors all did the same; Elk President
Elliott of Harvard, the ideal citi-
zel' confessed in public address
recently, that he did it too. 1t is
typical and universal American
attitude. We all vote blindly. Phil
adelphia has even elected imagin
airy men. The intelligence OF the
com munity is not at work on any
of the minor offices on the ballot
The average American citizen never
casts a completely intelligent vote"
AS a partial remedy, Mr.. Childs
suggests a shorter and less compli-
Gated ballot.

STATE DEMOCRATS CONVENE.
ELECT CLARK DELEGATES.

The Democrats of Colorado met in
convention at Colorado Springs on
Monday and named a state delega-
ton prepared by Mayor R. w. Speer
and his henchmen instructed for the
nomination of Champ Clark of Mis-
sour for president.
Platform Democracy, that part OF
the party which in the past has de-
manded the enactment of platform
promises, was flouted and outraged
Claude Street was driven from the
floor of the convention, and ex-
Governor c. S. Thomas viewed the
proceedings of the meeting from a
seat high up in the gallery. Gov
ernor Shafroth spent the afternoon
at the Antlers hotel, waiting an
invitation from the convention to
address, which never came, while
the rulers of the meeting permitted
Ex-Governor Dockery of Missouri to
address the convention on the per-
sonal qualifications of Speer's can
didate instructed for Clark, with no
second choice, thereby double-cros-
stag the Wilson people, who had
been led to expect that the New
Jersey man would be accorded this
courtesy as indicated by the reso-
lutions passed in majority of the
county conventions.
Tom McCue was elected national
committeeman over Charles Tew of
Greeley by vote of 69S to $50.
Delegates to the national conven-
ton are as follows:
l.. A. Won Tilberg. A C. McChen-
sey. Miles Saunders, Charles Tew,
NJ. II. Barlow, j. A. Donovan. j. A
Ferrin, w. F. Stratton.
