this strange paradox Of a democratic dictator
ship over the world I do not argue the ques-
ton as to whether it would be better for co.
100000 Germans to rule 900 other souls
in place of the present ruling 100000 English
men.
Such issues are beside the point. Such are
simply matters of emotion and therefore to be
discarded if one desires an understanding based
on fact and not emotion.
QUT the point to understand is that morals"
~ have nothing to do with our international
ills; that we are ourselves dictators of the rank
est kind.
To be sure, we do not go around blood
purging," prosecuting races and such-like per.
formances. They are alien to our sense of what
we are pleased to call sporting
But the ultimate effect of financial, eco
nomc, territorial and industrial monopoly is, in
its way, even worse. For such an intangible
dictatorship that we maintain creates the very
excesses of brutality and emotionalism in other
countries which we denounce in such horror.
Mr.. Roosevelt as a leader, fails lamentably
because he does not tell us facts Instead he
emotes He gives us the effects, never the causes.
He denounces the excesses Of other nations, but
does not explain to us that we are part Of a
great monopoly which breeds those very excesses
abroad.

CATES' HEARING
 AGAIN DELAYED
Illness Prevents Appear ance-lSth POstpone-
 ment of Case Granted

The case of Julian G. Gates, slat- ed for trial in city court today af- ter IT continuances, was continued again today when Gates, who is sec- retary-treasurer of the Waterbury Tool Co.,, was reported ill and un- able to appear.
 Attorney Patrick Healey, counsel for Gates, presented to Judge Ed ward Mascolo a statement from Dr. William M. Good that the accused was physically unable to appear in court. An 18th continuance, to Mon- day, was granted by the court.
 Gates was arrested Aug. 16, 1887, after his car had struck a motor cycle operated by Howard Salisbury, 21, of Middlebury, on Grand street, near State street. Salisbury has since had to have a leg amputated and was in the hospital for 8 long period. A civil suit against Gates has been settled out of court.
 Gates is charged with operating a car while under the influence of liquor, and also with causing the loss of limb while driving when under the influence. The second charge was placed against Gates on Monday, and was the first time in this city that this statute, adopt ed in 1885, has been invoked.

Oversight? c. O. P. Aldermanic Members Fail to Appear Before
 Finance Board
 as Voted.

The aldermen appointed a com- mittee the other night at the ex- clustively-attended meeting of Republicans members, assembled as committee of the whole" to start investigation of the city departments.
 So, yesterday, only two Demo- cratic members of this "sub-com- mittee" were on hand to meet with the board of finance, as voted. These were: Aldermen Thomas P. Kelly and Edward Goldberg, the Democratic, or minority, membership on the "sub- committee"
 When the Republican members failed to show up and decided on postponement of the joint con- gress with the finance board, the Democratic aldermen departed. So after they left, the board of fin- ance heard from committee which recommended such drestic "in- vestigation" and reorganization of city departments that the point of the Republican devised "investi- gation" by the aldermanic board was superseded.
 However, members ofthe alder manic committee are scheduled to meet with the finance board committee Saturday morning, &C., cording to Finance Commissioner Major w. Judge, chairman of the latter boards committee on con- sideration of the audit firms re- port on city affairs.
 What happens from that point remains to be determined.

 Holding Back
 It may very well be that some of the contenders are holding back their subscriptions until the last minutes of this bonus period. In spite of our request here that you get them in early, you old meanies.
 No, we're just fooling. We know that you must have reasons for keeping back the ballots. All we want is to have the CONTEST MANAGER happy in getting out his count as early as possible.
 Try to get all of your subscriptions in today, folks. Tomorrow will be a short day at THE DEMOCRAT and we won't be able to give you official figures until maybe Tuesday, unless the subscriptions get into the office before mid-afternoon today.
