taken hold of the tariff question
the financial question, the tolls

of legislation is proof as clear as
can be desired that it is not a
"Party-Afraid-of- Power" but a
party which is ready to assume
all the power which has been plac
ed in it's hands by the people.
The Democratic party is doing
things, not simply talking about
doing them, and the Colonel will
have to revise his. remarks if he
would be taken seriously by the
people.
There is n o t h in g new in the
speech OF Colonel Roosevelt. 1t is
of the ordinary kind to be expect
ed of any man who is "agin" the
government. 1t issimply speech
in which the Progressive party is
held up as the only party worth
while, abounding in fault finding
with everything which does not
have the Roosevelt brand on it
And the Colonel makes it plain
that he wantsit to be understood
that he is the Progressive party.
1t is not a speech against the
Democracy which will stand up
under an analysis, but merely a
Roosevelt Illumination in which
the Colonel holds out his views as
the only views which at all are
worth considering. After reading
it the country will turn with re-
newed confidence to that man in
the White House OF whom it has
been well said by the New York
World: "With every economic
question that has come before him
the President has sought to deal
prudently, cautiously and sanely.
No word Of demagogy has fallen
from his lips; he has indulged in
no reckless agitationa he has
made no incendiary appeals to
popular passion; he has neither
denounced, no abused, nor threat
ened. He has sought to carry
out no economic policies that he
