BACK TO THE RIGHT CHANNEL

Privilege of the Democratic Party Is to Restore a Safe and Sane Government. ■ ■ ; . ' . .. I .... ■■ " The beginning of the Roosevelt legend is interesting. Back in the eighties an American magazine published a series of artfries on ranch life and the hunting trail, illustrated by the pencil of the late Fred Remington and signed by a name famous in the history both of New York politics and Western steamboating—Roosevelt. Later it was reported that a new Daniel had come to judgment in the po-

lice department of New York. Then came the Spanish-American war and the famous regiment recruited from Fifth avenue and. Dead Alan’s Gulch. The assassination of McKinley occurred at a strategic moment, when American politics was about to take a new turn and crystalline about either an idea or a person Roosevelt's dramatis entrance into the White Hquse turned the scale. An era of personal government began. There is something wrong with the succession, however. Taft is to Roosevelt what Mazarin was to Richelieu. The founder of the dynasty has decided to govern once more. The viceroy business is played out. Meanwhile the Democratic party, through men like Clark, Underwood, Baldwin, Wilson, Harmon and others, has redirected the attention of the country to the power of ideas in politics. It is bur guess that personal government is doomed and that soon the Roosevelts and Cannons will be numbered among tne .popular idols which have lost their ’ sanctity.—St. Louis Republic. su

Rising Moral Standards.

In the stimulating little volume, “The Moral and Religious Challenge of Our Time's,” President H. C. King of Oberlin college discusses as* one of the significant national changes, “the rapidly rising moral standards of the United States in business, industrial and political life.” There can be no doubt, he says, that the business world now repudiates methods that would have been accepted as a matter of course twenty-five years ago, and that in politics there is “a growing responsibility to the whole people.” He continues: “The significant element in the revolt against ‘Cannonism’ lies just here. It is the repudiation of the old theory that legislation is to be the outcome of a compromise of various corporate or local interests, instead of being detenhined by a clear view of the interests of the people as a whole.” That is why the people revolted against the manner in which the Payne-Aldrich tariff act was framed, and it explains the uprising which has so bewildered the old school of politicians who could see nothing out of the way in legislating for the special interests.

Working of the Anti-Trust Law.

The government's brief in the Stannard Oil suit showed that John D. Rockefeller personally held 247,632 shareb in the Standard Oil company. Since the government won the duit anu the. company \yas dissolved the market price of the stock has risen $350 per share, adding thereby $86,692,300 to Mr. Rockefeller's fortune. The-anti-trust law is a great success.

Ever the Friend of the Trusts.

If Mr. Roosevelt had been president tor the last four years we m<y be sure there would have been no prosecution of the harvester trust. Mr. Roosevelt stopped that once before, and has now his reward in campaign contributions. And the sugar trust would not have been compelled to disgorge its thefts. Mr. Roosevelt knew about them, but would not see-them when in' office. And the steel corporation would still receive the presidential benediction for its every act.

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW

WHO IS BACKING CAMPAIGNS OF TAFT AND ROOSEVELT? That Enormous Sums of Money Are Being Spent Is Apparent, and Citizens Have a Right to Learn the Source. By all means let the house bill compelling full publicity of pre-nomination expenditures of presidential candidates be passed. -Especially in the campaign now on, which holds so many candidates who proclaim they are running in response to the people's demand, it is desirable to know who is putting up the sinews of ’war. The cost of the Roosevelt campaign in New York county was over $59,000. or nearly tour dollSrs a vote. And he lost out at - that. A short time ago the total cost of his campaign thus far was estimated at $700,000. If we accept the colonel’s interpretation of the significance of his candidacy this money is being spent to permit the people to express their overwhelming desire to nominate him. All right. Let him spend as much as he-likes, if he spends it legitimately;? But who is putting up? Mr. Roosevelt has no million to spenil on his campaign, not even the $59,000 which, according to legal record, he dumped into New York county alone. Then who is putting up? Is it Perkins, .Munsey or McCormick, or some other of his trust friends who at© I ousting the Roosevelt campaign ? Or are the 'plain people parting- with their pennies to enjoy the salvation of another Roosevelt administration?

The Taft managers, undoubtedly, are spending money, too. Money has always been spent in these campaigns. The people have a right to know where the Taft money comes from. But the agents of the president have yet to be charged with “spending money like drunken sailors” as were the agents of the colonel in Indianapolis. It may be recalled at this time that George W. Perkins in 1904 contributed $50,000 to the Roosevelt campaign in behalf of the New York Life Insurance company He han’t do that now, but what he is giving and how he is giving it should be known to the citizens who are asked to voto for Mr. Roosevelt. If the nation is to have publicity of campaign contributions, it is fully as Important that it has them for the primaries and other prenomlnation activity as for the election proper.-—Ex-change. ’

UNITED PARTY TO FACE FOE

Democrats in Agreement on All the Main Issues That Will Come Before the Country. Governor Harmon of Ohio stated no more or less than the truth when he said at Omaha: “There Is no sound reason for serious disagrement among Democrats. The wishes and ambitions of Individuals have not a feather's weight compared with the Interests of the party and its bright prospects. There are no present vital national, questions on which all Democrats dp not substantially agree, and we shall not attract the confidence of ft he country by letting such differences «s there may be about other matters mar the party harmony.” The Democrats of the country are united on the general Issue of tariff reduction. They are united, with rare exceptions, on specific measures of tariff reduction as passed by the Democratic house.

They are united against trust monopoly and for trade regulation -by competition. They are united in favor of an Income tax and placing a part of the federal expense burden on wealth. They are united for the popular election of United States senators, lor publicity in campaign expenditures before elections, for less extravagance in government, for relief of the people from the growing costs of public administratis a. Democrats like Governor Harmon and Mr. Bryan disagree about such innovations as the initiative, referendum and recall, but they are agreed that these have no part in a national platform. Not before in twenty years, not before since Cleveland’s last election to the presidency, has the party been in such accord on the great public issues of the day —New York World.

Safely Within the Law.

Mr. G. T. Perkins contributed $15,000 to Theodore Roosevelt’s New York campaign for, delegates, and there were other large contributions, but it is not charged that any of the money was used corruptly. It costs a lot of money to make the kind of a campaign all the presidential candidates are making, and as yet congress has not put-any limitations on such expenditures.

Colonel’s Costly Campaign.

Commenting oh the use of money by the Roosevelt management. Chairman McKinley of the Taft committee said: "When the .senate investigated the charges made against Senator Stephenson It found that bls expenditures in the campaign before, the primary amounted to a little less than two dollars a vote. It now develops that the campaign in the interest of Roosevelt before the New York primaries, which elected delegates to the national convention, required the expenditure o four dollars a vote.” >

WROTE HIS “AD” IN FROST

Chicago Merchant Overcame Handicap of Ice Glazed Show Windows. f There is one merchant In Chicago who possesses the faculty of turning defeat into victory. His opportunity came during the most recent zero spell, when frost coated most of the store Windows so thickly that it was Impossible for persons on the sidewalk to see the display of goods or to make out the lettering on the windows. For a while it seemed to this merchant that the only thing to do was to buttonhole the passers-by and lead them into his shop. It was too cold to consider such a step, however, so he set himself to thinking and at last worked out a plan that gave him a distinct advantage over his neighbors., • His idea was to let Jack Frost work for him instead of against him. His conciliatory attitude soon won that careless artist over. In the first place the merchant let the frost gather in a thick crust on the panes. Then taking a brush dipped in hot water he applied it to his temporary canvas and dashed off some clever “copy” that was easily visible from without This required slight retouching from time to time, but there was plenty of frost for the background and plenty of hot water. To a: person walking along the street the other windows presented a solid opaque front by no means alluring When, however, his eye fell upon the dashing frost written window "ad" announcing a reduction of $1.50 shirts to $1.38 ancj an overwhelming chopping off in the price of ear caps and mufflers, he was moved to go in and invest.

EXPERIENCE GREAT TEACHER

There is No Compulsory Education Laws for Advertisers, Says Printers’ Ink. “Experience is a great teacher,” says Printers’ Ink, “but there isn’t any law compelling attendance at her school.” The other day a circular letter came to hand—the seventh or eighth of a series from a New England city. The letter began: “Before you throw this letter into the waste-basket won’t you admit that I am rather persistent?” What else was in the circular the recipient knoweth not, because at this point, the writer having made it quite clear that he expected his missive to go to the waste-basket, into the wastebasket it went. There is no law’, to paraphrase Printers’ Ink, compeHfng the circularizer to attend the school of experience- If six or seven letters fall to produce results he seventh or eighth. And doubtless there will be a tenth, and mayhap a twentieth. All of which is good for the printer, if .not so proQtable for the advertiser. If three-quarters of the money that is now spent for futile circularization should be spent Sor newspaper advertising in strong, influential mediums the campaign orators this fall would all be busy telling the Voters just how their respective parties were entitled to the credit for an unprecedented wave of prosperity.

Generosity in Advertisements.

In England religious bodies, and espeoially charities that are supported by Christian people, use display advertising space in daily and weekly newspapersto a far greater extent than do the same organizations in this country. A large proportion ®f chaitable funds are raised through paid advertisements in the periodicals. The men and religion committee of 97, the national organization, is spending SIO,OOO in connection with its conservation congress in this newer form of religious propaganda. The men and religion committee mentions in its advertisements Protestant, Catholic and Jew, and urges men to attend their places of public religious worship.

Garbage Can Advertising.

A representative of an advertising company has offered to present the city of Montgomery, Ala., with a large number of sanitary garbage cans if the city commission will agree to permit a certain amount of advertising on the cans. The manufacturers of a successful toilet preparation scaled a bold peak at historic Harper’s Ferry and made a signboard of an ancient promotory which would seem accessible only by airship. But it’s a 'far cry from the blue-cowled mountains of West Virginia to the garbage cans of Alabama and it is probable that they will not become purveyors of publicity—not feor the delicatessen shops anyway.

Something New In Advertising.

A newspaper in Pennsylvania contains an advertisement of a church pew for sale. Among the indorsements which are mentioned in connect tlon with the pew, it is stated that it occupies a position which commands a beautiful view of thg entire congregation. Presumably, the pulpit also is visible.

Not Compatible.

Printers’ Irik says: You can’t expect honest advertising if at the same time you foster dishonest methods of producing advertisiflfc. Thp two things are as far apart as the poles.

Her Opportunity.

Edith —Isn’t Alice the lucky girl? Just as she had decided to throw Jack over he broke the engagement. Tom—Well? ' Edith —Well, now she’s going to sue him for breach of promise.
