> SHALL \ THE PEOPLE RULE Washington, D. C., Oct. 22. 1908. Editor The Democrat, Decatur, Ind.: | The political campaign is becoming 1 hot when the Executive Mansion is I converted into headquarters for campaign purposes, and the president of the United States becomes a streni' uous worker to perpetuate through 1 a “proxy” “my policies,” entering into the campaign as vigorously as a reg--1 ular ward politician does. With all I the efforts to announce the battle won. ■ | the great masses of people refuse to believe the reports. They have, in days gone by, been misled in supposing that the people have anything to do with selecting a president. That important work. God bless you, is done by the accidenetal occupant of the “White House.” That is one of «.he essential points in the new order oi statesmanship known as “my policy,” which very kindly relieves the common herd of the great task of taking any part in matters of government. i | Let me mention a few items in this J new’ system of government which may not be so thoroughly understood in I the west as it is in Washington, the seat of the mysterious affair. “My policy” oherwise “Rooseveltism,” the precious thing which Mr. Taft is pledged to perpetuate through two terms, then to be resumed by the inventor for two more terms and finally to be passed over to Mr. Sherman, vice-presidential candidate, for a like period, if son-in-law “Nick” is to Be believed, showed itself in this city in August last when, by direct; order from the bear-exterminator, 20,-1 000 innocent, defenseless, harmless dogs were muzzled for six months. Just this morning I saw a faithful canine rubbing his jaws against a ph rub in the park to remove the i hated object. Some five years ago all the human dogs in government service were muzzled, not for six months, but during all the time that "my policy” reigned in the “White House.” The condition of these bipeds is more galling than that of the twenty thousand quadrupeds, alluded to. They I were threatened with summary dis- 1 missal from the government service should they take any steps to improve their condition in any respect. This vast herd of officeholders, if they wish to have recognition, must fall in with the strenuous cry “Great is- my policy” and long may it continue,even through

the twenty-four years mapped out by that “fool” son-in-law “Nick.” The public press has been muzzled. The “true inwardness” of affairs in Washington, and it might be said of the entire country, js kept from the public except as it is revealed by speakers and papers that will not be bought for a mess of potage. I cannot go into details at present. Let me mention, however, a small item that inadvertently leaked out last Fri day the 16th Inst. A conference meeting of cabinet officials and others was held to prevent a collapse of the campaign that is pronounced so successful for "my policy.” According to a report in the Times the paper here of largest circulation, President Roosevelt informed his cabinet and other persons present that financial conditions w<*re not satisfactory. The sensational headlines were: “Increasing deficit bestirs the president. National debt piling up at the rate of $3,000,000 each day.” A little computation will show that at the rate of $3,000,000 per day the national debt will swell at the rate of $90,000,000 per month, or by the close of the present administration on the 4th of March it will have attained the enormous sum of $414,000,000, a very undesirable legacy, the result of |'‘my policies,” to bequeath to the next administration. My opinion is that if the people of this naton could be made acquainted with the true condition of things as i administered by the “my policy” system. they would decree a radical ■ change. This they will need to decide 'or. the third of November. “Shall the People Rule?” J. Fraise Richard. Senator Beveridge—“How many of . you had money in the bank in 1896: raise your hands.” Not a hand went up. The senator again—“How many of you have money in the bank now?" Six hands went up. including two school children.” What a wonderful testimonial of twelve years of repirblican prosperity!—Bluffton Banner. The greatest political reception ever given in Decatur -was that of last night to the Kern party. One dense enthusiastic throng numbering many thousands, hailed the Democratic candidate for vice president and indicated that they were with him heart and soul, and hoped to see him grace the . second highest office within the gift 'of The American people. The Dem- ■ ocrats of Decatur and Adams county are to be congratulated, and by continuing their energy to election day they will sweep the county with the largest majority ever. There is no doubt at all that the sentiment in favor of Bryan and Kem ! and Marshall and the w’hole Demo- j cratic state ticket is growing stronger ! and more definite and likewise more , ! determined. Taft was not a strong' j candidate to begin with, as is now i seen. The manner of his nomination was bad enough, but the kind of a campaign that has been made for him by Roosevelt and the trusts has disgusted all fair-minded persons. And • now the steals and scandals that are ; being disclosed have put on the fin- ' ishing touches. And as for Watson, he will not get inside the distance flag. Just now’ a special effort is being made by the Republican state ' committee to snare a few “temper- ; ance Democrats.” A letter signed by James P. Godrich, chairman of the Republican state committee, was sent to the Republican precinct committee- , men asking them to send to him “by : return mail,” the names of “from five ' to ten reliable temperance Democrats.” i These persons were then to receive a letter ostensibly coming from the antisaloon league urging them to vote the Republican ticket. These so-called anti-saloon league letters will be signed by an interesting group of ' Republicans of various vocations, but it has all been carefully arranged by , the Republican campaign managers. ' The fact that it is deemed neOessary to resort to this sort of a game shows how desperate Watson’s case is. MONEY TO LOAN —I have plenty o' money to loan on farms. No com mission charged.

Here is a simple, interesting and sincere letter from a rugged pioneer of ’49, who braved the dangers and hardships of the overland trail to California. It should appeal to all catarrh victims. Santa Rosa, Cal., May 5, 1908. Both’s Hyomei Co, Buffalo. N. Y. Dear Sirs: —I was afflicted with catarrh. and tried a number of remedies, but received no relief. I purchased an outfit of Hyomei. and before I had used the bottle I noted a marked relief. I used it for a month or so, and thought I was cured, and stopped using it for a year or so. Thought I was getting catarrh again, and started using it again. I use it every morning, and keep myself clear of catarrh. I consider it the best catarrh medicine that is used. I have often recommended it to my friends. I am 81 years cld. I came to Califorrda in 1849, and of course am not as vigorous as I was 58 years ago. My address is 841 4th Street. Yours truly, W. Mock. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is guaranteed by Holthouse Drug Co. not I only for catarrh, but for grip, coughs, ; cclds, bronchitis and croup. A comj plete outfit, including inhaler, costs only $1.00;» extra bottles of Hyomei if afterward needed, cost but 50 cents. [ GEO. TRICKER has for sale a brand new Splint coal, hard as a rock, that lasts equal to Anthracite at $3.50 per ton for a few cars. You have not seen its equal. Phone 534. 258-12 t o INAUGURATE SPECIAL MUSIC NIGHT. Tonight at the Grand theater, the hustling young proprietors, Miller & Fristce, will inaugurate a feature — special music night. These events will occur on Wednesday evening of each week, and will in no way interfere with the regular program, which will be given in full. The special music program for tonight will include a selection from the famed comic opera “The Girl Question,” and a march from Tannhauser, also special incidental music during the show. This part of the program alone will be worth several times the amount of the admission, which remains at the old pries, five cents. If you wish to spend an enjoyable hour you should go to the Grand tonight. ———o ECZEMA IS NOW CURABLE. Zemo, a scientific preparation for external user, stops itching instantly and destroys the germs that cause the disease. This remarkable medicine has cured more chronic cases of Eczema and other skin diseases than all other remedies on the market combined. Smith, Yager & Falk, the druggists, say they believe Zemo to be an honest medicine and that, it will do nil that is claimed for it —o Democrat Want Ads. Pay.
