DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
So The Voter May Known

The National Tribune of Washington
u. e. organ of the G. A. Il. and other
organizations of former soldiers makes
the following complimentary reflections
on the Democratic presidential nomi-
nccs:
The Democratic National Convention
at San francisco was, undoubtedly. an
depression Of the highest wisdom Of the
party al large Its members embraced
iruding Bcir""rats of every possible
shade If h,licf and from all classes who
debated aud discussed long and cnru-
rstly.
They had before them, ms candidates,
II number of able men of high character.
amy one of whom would have made nn
excellent candidate. The selection Of
Governor Cox. of Ohio, was the logical
result
Cox has also N high reputation for OK
ccuiivc ability. and sound perspective
on public affairs.
Governor Cox is a worthy competitor
Of Senator Harding for the highest
honor IN the Gift of the people. Both
Cox and Harding are types of the best
American manhood. and both will com
mend Themselves 10 the people.
Assistant Secretary of Navy. Fred
rick Roosevelt, is n high-ciass man.
genial IN manner. II pleasing public
speaker. and has shown much more
than ordinary ability MS n member of
the New York senate. ana .s assistant

Of n great name. but will have the nd
vantage of that great name TO prepos

bright vernillion worn by gypsy women,
but the mems garb, such as it is, is second
hand American. The other day q middle
aged married couple stopped before a
hardware stall in search oe screw-driver.
The woman, who looked Italian, wore n
black wooden skirt, and red shawl closely
wrapped about her head. The man wore
jaunty felt hat and dusty fur-collared
overcoat, which looked as if in days gone
by it might have belonged TO popular
matinee idol.
1t is noticeable that the complexion OF
the men and women who tend the stalls IS
exceptionally ruddy, a condition one would
be apt to attribute to the outdoor ar
were it not for Inspector DAVIS and ms
statistics. For, according to him, neither
fresh air nor complexion have anything to
do with it. Even the pale dope victims
who dwell along the Bowery, OF whom
there are hundreds between the ages OF
Ia and 40, have good health, he says.
While dingy and in places apparently
falling to pieces, the Bowery reflects the
general prosperity of the nation. 1t is not
quite so hungry and miserable as 1t used
to be. and hence not quite SO desperate.
Criminal joints have given way to en-
ployment offices; saloons to movie theaters
and dance halls to banks, so that the
street seems to be headed for a future as
healthy. respectable and thrifty as its
birth in the days of the early Dutch
settlers. Then it was refuge for fugitives
from the smallpox scourges that were con-
stantly breaking out in New York; later
it was refuge for criminals, and now it is a
sort of giant dustpan receiving all the
| human sweepings from the surrounding
metropolis. But through all these stages
| of decline. the Bowery has retained its
uncanny original inheritance of health,
flouting all scientific assumptions that
pestilenco and disease follow in the path
of dirt.
