Mr. Roosevelt has not yet discharged himself. If he held a smaller office, his “pernicious activity" would cause him to lose his job. Just suppose a president' had packed convention with officeholders and was prostituting his high office to elect his “Me Too" to the presidency when Roosevelt we a a civil service res former—my, my. how blue the air 1 would be with denunciations of such usurpation by Civil Service Commlsscner Roosevelt!’!

. Whichever way they turn defeat • stares them -in the eye. The Democrats will carry New York |by a hundred thousand majority. I There is little less than Republican chance in Ohio. In Indiana the eleis hopelessly down of Asiatic cholera. Already Democracy, beginning with Illinois, sweeps the west like I a prairie fire. How could it be otherwise in the face cf what the president , is doing? Poor Taft! Poor Taft! "Injuns on the upper road. And death upon the lower." z —Louisville Courier-Journal. 1 i In an address before the Bankers' Convention at Denver. Woodrow Wilson. president of Princeton, used this expression: ■ The most striking fact about the actual organization of modern society is that the most conspicuous, the most readily wielded, and the most formidable power is not the power of govern--1 ment, but the power of capital. Men lof our day in England and America have almost forgotten what it is to ; fear government, but have found out what it is to fear the fcower of capital. to watch it with jealousy and suspicion. and trace to it the source of j every open or hidden wrong." The reason capital is a ' more formidable power than government" is because capital organized into trusts controls congress through Cannon in the house and through Aldrieh in the senate by reason of their big contributions to (the Republican campaign fund and control of that party. With Bryan in ■ the white house, capital will have every protection but then President Wilson will not be forced to say that capital is a "more formidable power than' government.” The trusts must abdicate. ***************' !♦ Do you like a mild cigar?
