THE PARTY BOSS


inant party in America today, and
says there is nothing to do other than
to do and die Following is taken
from his recent address on the Pan
ANA Canal tolls question:
Mr.. Speaker, this question has
already been passed upon by the
American people as deliberately
and as carefully as any other ques-
ton ever considered by them.
The Progressive party platform
declared for free tolls, and 100000
voters Endorsed It.
The Democratic platform, indoors
ed by $780, 900 voters, declared for
the same thing.
Woodrow Wilson, as the candi-
date of his party, declared repeat
eddy for free tolls.
A Democratic House, responsive
to public sentiment, enacted the
free tolls law.
A Republican Senate passed the
bill and a Republican president
signed it.
The President and Congressman
elected on the Democratic platform
have loudly boosted that they were
commissioned by the people to
carry out the promises of that plat
form as sacred trust.
To the amazement of the country
like a thunderclap out OF clear
sky, comes the declaration OF the
President that the platform OF the
Democratic party. the free tolls
promise and his own speeches In
favor of 1t, the Congress that en-
acted the law, and the 100000
voters who Endorsed free tolls In
their party platform. are all wrong
and that free tolls are violation
of good morals.
Why this remarkable change OF
heart? President Wilson gives no
reason.
The Democrats In Congress. scut,
,c,lins like x.selto get away from e
sinking ship-sre throwing somer'
saults to get away nom their plat
form promises. = 2
Do they give any reasons? Verify
they do, and a most SUFFICIENT 90
reason-for Democrats-the party
boss has issued his orders.
The President doubtless has some
reason for this remarkable Hop
but he has not chosen to say what
1t is. Supreme in his primacy as
a Democrat and confident that he
is able to do all the thinking neces'
sary in the Democratic party, he
simply issues his orders
Theirs not to reason why;
Theirs but to do and die.
Democrats are expected to do
what they are told and ask no
questions.

A petition signed by almost every
man and woman in town was pre-
sented Monday night to Rev. H,
w. Parker, district superintendent
Of the Methodist church, asking for
the return of Rev. Leitch to the
Richfield charge for the coming
year. 1t was quite remarkable
public demonstration along line
that is not always found-for the
outsiders, non-church members, to
take such an interest in such mat
ter. 1t is a most gratifying tribute
to the good work done by Rev
Leitch during the past year, and
will without doubt be considered
as the last word when the appoint
ments are made at hte conference
the last of this month.

the coming week. 1t is a Steel

If Judge Ailshie had been ac-

There was no western mail up on
Tuesday morning, train No. Is being
to late for the branch line trains to
wait for it. Consequently, there ware
no daily papers---and the war students
were paving the earth in their impa-
thence to know what had happened over
in the Old World.
W. ]. Meagher and Lee Garlock are
talking of big-game hunt up in Stan
Icy Basin this fall. They expect to
bring back several bears and other i'm

ground, and the two gentlemen are
good enough hunters that they should
come back laden with trophies.

relatives in Illinois. They may be
gone month or more.
George Macarthur will have his
machine out into the field
this week, with Hugh Fenton in

A TRUE VISION OF THE NEAR
FUTURE.
InqersoII a Seer.

| see a world where thrones have
crumbled and where kings are dust.
The aristocracy of idleness has per-
ished from the earth l see a world
without a slave. Man at last is free.
Natures forces have, by science,
been enslaved. Lightning and light,
wind and wave, frost and flame, and
all the secret subtle powers of earth
and air are the tireless toilers for the
human race. | see a world at peace,
adorned with every form of art, with
myriad music voices thrilled, while
lips are rich with words of love and
truth-a world in which no exile
signs, no prisoner mourns; a world
where labor reaps it's full reward;
where work and worth go hand in
hand; where the poor girl trying to
win bread by the needle-the needle
that has been called the "asp for the
breast of the poor''-is not driven to
desperate choice of crime or DEATH of
suicide or shame; 1 see world with
out the beggar's outstretched palm,
the miser's heartless, stony stare, the
piteous wall of want, the livid lips of
lies, the cruel eyes of scorn. I see a
race without disease of flesh or brain
-shapely and fair, the married har-
mony of form and function-and, as
look, life lengthens, joy deepens, love
canopies the earth and over all, in the
great dome shines the eternal star of
human hope.-Robert G. Ingersoll.

modern time, ever had a grander, bet

land, or elsewhere, one will have no
trouble in proving soon the urgency
of killing by electricity or by chem
icals a hundred and a thousand. Leg
islative progression is the most ter
rible and the most memorable of all de-
velopments. Individuals logic has it's
fears, and sometimes hesitates before
precipice; the social logic has none.
Considered from this point of view,
the question is fraught with practical
consequences for the future, and theo-
retical difficulties for the present. 1t
is no longer a subject of oratorical
dissertation, it is the very knot of the
social question in the place where it
is most thorny."
Writing of the present half-hearted
attempt to apply the death penalty
Professor Tarde says:
Present Statu Quo impossible.
"The prolongation of the present
statu quo is impossible. We must
either go to the end of the humane
road, followed for a century, or else
we must retrograde decidedly on the
bloody road Of the past. | say it, be-
cause the death penalty as now ap-
piled, is no longer anything more than
an unlucky number in lottery for
him who suffers it, among a thousand
who rnarit il ahOut enuallV"
Whatever the solution may be OF the
practical questions involved, enough
has been said to indicate, at least, one
of the strong undercurrents of master
class opinion, which may be destined
to radically change the course OF leg
islation affecting criminals and the I'M
fortunate in general, and that at no
very remote future.
To all OF this reactionary twaddle,
looking only to eradication OF the evil
results Of capitalism, the Socialists
bring forward the still more radical
and scientific" proposal that society
collectively remove the economic and
social causes Of degeneracy. crime and
unemployment. They offer the one
and only real remedy for crime and
idegeneracy, namely, elimination Of az
norance and undeserved poverty None
