MEANING IS CLEAR
Recent Elections ForeshadOw
Democratic Defeat.
Leave No Doubt That the People Are
Awake TO the Disastrous Effects
Of the Policies of the Party
in Power.

No one who is fair-minded and can
see things as they really are can help
feeling that The elections in Chicago
and st. Louis foreshadow the oncom-
ing tide that will sweep the Demo-
cratic party out of power which it
now holds by default-only by de-
fault.
But. given the chance. it has made
good its record of disaster It
has paralyzed our industries; it has
oankrupted the treasury: it has not
passed single economic measure that
ought to have been passed. The
Underwood tariff law has not done
anything its sponsors said it would do
and has done precisely what it's oppo-
nents prophesied it would do. The
federal reserve act would be the most
stupendous economic calamity ever
visited upon this country if it were
allowed to remain on the statute
books. 1t was born of foreign con-
ception and bears no relation what
ever to our peculiar conditions and
particular needs. 1t is a matter of
mathematical demonstration that if
allowed to go into complete operation
1t will cost this country $100,000.00O
every year more than a right banking
system would.
The leaders of the administration
may try to deceive themselves into
the belief that the recent elections
have no significance. but had the re-
solt been reversed and the Democrats
had won by the same tremendous ma
Jority that was given the Republican
ticket IL Chicago. the administration
leaders would have lost no time in
proclaiming that the outcome was
vindication of Democratic policies.

The impassioned denunciation of
President Wilson by Representative

ton of patronage indicates how wide

Good Arnument for Peace.

The congress that recently adjourned
is the first since 1895 in which the
Democrats have had majority in
both houses. In that of 20 years ago the
appropriations reached 1917, 600, 900. In
that of today they ha-s mounted to
s., 237 900. 600. 1t looks like big jump
in two score years. It is well we are
able 10 maintain the middle road of
neutrality, for If it costs us two billion
and a quarter to get along in times of
peace, it is staggering to think what
our bin would be if we were to go to
war.

days ago thai the Republican party

doubt that the Democratic party will

prosperity is returning and that the
