VOL. XIV. LABOR DOES NOT FORGET TOP. WILSON'S ANTAGONISM TO ORGANIZED LABOR IS A MATTER OF RECORD. REMEMBER THE SOUP HOUSES The Dark Times of Democracy Still Fresh in the Memory of the Workingman Who Had Nothing to Eat and No Place to Sleep. PROF. WILSON ON LABOR. "Labor is standardized by trades unions and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. I need not point out how economically disastrous such a regulation of labor is. It is so unprofitable to the employer that in some trades it will presently not be worth while to attempt anything at all. Our economic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants."—From an address by Prof. Wilson to the graduating class of Princeton university, June 20, 1908. Woodrow Wilson, Democratic candidate for president, is now addressing honeyed words to the laboring man in the hope of securing the labor vote. He would, if he could, have the workingman forget the address delivered by him at Princeton in 1909, in which he regretted that "labor is standardized by the trades unfons," and asserted that such a regulation of labor is "economically disastrous." Nor will labor target that in the same speech he characterized members of labor unions as "unprofitable servants." No wonder that the Minnesota State Federation of Labor recently adopted resolutions condemning Professor Wilson for his antagonistic attitude toward organized labor. And while Professor Wilson is appealing to the workingman to overlook his own personal views and vote the Democratic ticket he should know that the record of the Democratic party in connection with the workingman is engraved upon the tablets of labor's memory. Labor has not voted for a Democratic president since the terrible experience which followed the Democratic victory in 1902. And labor will not this year vote to repeat those distressing times. What Labor Remembers. No Bread to Eat. The Muskogee Cimeter. MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA, OCT. 19, 1912. THE ONLY SHOW PROSPERITY FREE TRADE HE EATS EM ALIVE G.O.P. PROSPERITY ME THE BIG SHOW SATTERFIELD Now a Full Dinner Pail Now a Full Dinner Pall. Labor has not forgotten its lesson on how it passed through poverty and misdessness and Democratic maladministration to the full dinner pall of the McKinley and subsequent Republican administrations. Labor has not forgotten that the American Federation of Labor held its annual convention in the council chamber in the city hall, Chicago, the week of Monday, December 11, 1893, at a time when 5,000 men were nightly sleeping on the cold stone floors of Chicago's city hall building, because of lack of money to secure other shelter. Farmers Will Not Forget. And farmers have not forgotten that during the period which brought such untold disaster to labor they themselves were neither prosperous nor happy. They worked hard and raised big crops, but their market was - gone because their customers could not buy. The candidate and the party whose policy puts labor out of a job robs the farmer of his profit just as truly as if the blow were aimed at him direct. LODGE'S BULL'S EYE SHOTS Massachusetts Senator States Some Truths in Few Words. When Senator Lodge of Massachusetts opened the Taft campaign in Ohio recently he uttered some truths in a few words. Here are a few of the sentences which ought to be read and remembered: "I believe most profoundly that now, as in the past, the success of the Republican party is for the best interests of the people of the United States." "The Democratic house presented the woolen schedule in a form which would put an end to the woolen manufactures of the United States and would slaughter the product of the American sheep raiser." "If you desire to strike down the sheep and woolen industries of the United states, give the Democrats full power, and you will have it done; if you do not, the only way to preserve them is to select a Republican congress and a Republican president." "If the proposed constitutional changes should be carried into effect they would completely revolutionise our system and theory of government, as we have known it since the beginning of history." "All the progress that has been made in this country in 50 years has been by the Republican party." "The Republican party has always been the party of sane and rational progress under the Constitution." "The Republican party stands for liberty as against license; for order as against confusion; for loyalty to the great principles of justice and freedom which have been handed down to us from the days of Washington; in one word, it stands for the constitution which Marshall interpreted and which Lincoln saved." DESERTS PROF. WILSON. Why a Democratic Editor Declares for President Taft: J. Holman Buck, the Democratic editor of the Western Nevada Miner at Mina, in voicing his allegiance to the Taft administration, is not sparing in his criticisms of the actions and policies of Governor Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic nominee, or of Roosevelt. Buck is a Democrat of the old school and readily sees the error of his ways in supporting the Democratic nominee for the presidency. In speaking of Wilson he has the following to say: "A man utterly untrained in the affairs of government; whose administration as governor of New Jersey has proven a failure and a force; whose views have been contracted by a lifetimes spent in the narrow confines of the school room; whose associations have naturally been the classes rather than the masses and whose radical views and vagaries outrival those of Debbs and Emma Goldman and that no more represents real Democracy than does the frothings of Roosevelt. The issues then are Taft, conservatism, the preservation of the constitution and a free Republican form of government, versus Wilson, socialistic radicalism and the turning over of established form of government to a mobocracy. Believing as we do we would be unjust to ourselves and false to principles and the public did we not align ourselves with Mr. Taft and the principles he represents. We hope that in the coming fray that he will be victorious and shall lend every effort at our command to bring this about. Party lines, by the issues promulgated, have been swept aside and conservative Democrats, he they true to themselves and principles, will support William Howard Taft for president, and rebuke the arrogant domination of Bryan and his piratical band of socialistic agitators." DODGED TARIFE REVISION Roosevelt, When President, Failed to Take Any Action. Once in his life Mr. Roosevelt atmost expressed an opinion on the tariff question. In a preliminary draft of one of his messages to congress as it came from the printer was this sentence: "In a later message I shall discuss the tariff." On revising the proof sheets of his message Mr. Roosevelt blue-penciled that line. And he never came even that near to discussing the question again as long as he remained in the White House. And yet the tariff law then on the statute books was far more objection able than the Payne law, which he is now so vigorously denouncing. Why didn't he revise the tariff the way he now says it ought to have been when he had the power? He says now he writes to "fix it so that more of the tariff 'price money' will go into the pay envelope of the workman." Why didn't he "fix it" that way during the seven and one-half years he was in the White House? In other words, in the face of his record while in office, is not all the Third Terner's present talk about the tariff the most transparent guff and bluff and balderdash? Mr Roosevelt's explanation is unworthy of consideration for two reasons. In the first place, a man in his position from whom advice and suggestion had been sought by the president of the United States ought not to admit having hastily endorsed reciprocity without knowing what he was doing. As a matter of fact, Mr Roosevelt's letters and speeches above quoted are exactly in line with his record. More than this, Mr. Roosevelt's explanation is an insult to the intelligent voter because in his letter to President Taft he says, "I firmly lie in free trade with Canada." This is going farther than President Taft ever went, because Mr. Taft' idea of reciprocity was to obtain valuable consideration in return for concessions granted. Roosevelt's free trade proposition if enacted into law would break down all the barrier between Canada and the United States and would cause tremendous financial loss to American farmers. The fact is that Mr. Roosevelt was heartily in favor of reciprocity and of free trade with Canada until he made his tour of the west before the Republican national convention, where he found that reciprocity was unpopular. Then he shifted. His present attitude demonstrates his utter insincerity and shows that he is ready to do anything to catch votes. He is ready to endorse anything that he believes is popular and to condemn that which he thinks is unpopular without regard to his own conviction or wise governmental policies. The manner in which he has suddenly reversed himself in the hope that he so doing he would gain a few votes in an example of demagogism thoroughly typical of his character. It is also important to remember that if a Democratic president should be elected reciprocity with Canada would soon be an accomplished fact inasmuch as the Democrats in the house of representatives voted for it and also voted against repealing the law which had been passed. Democratic reciprocity is the kind that the Canadian newspapers are hoping Canada will secure, because it will mean that Canada will get everything from the United States and give noth ing in return. WILL GET MORE SALARY Promotions and Increased Pay for 13,000 Railway Mail Clerks. Still another evidence of Republican prosperity and President Taft's sincerity in endeavoring to benefit the toller was manifested when he recommended to congress that the clerks in the railway mail service be classified and given an increase in wages. There are 16,700 clerks in that branch of the government's service, and the postal appropriations bill signed by the president just before congress adjourned carried with it the promotion with increased pay of 13,000 men on Oct. 1, 1912, and those not promoted on that date will receive more pay. The new law provides for three classes of railway postal lines with their transfer and terminal offices, the compensation ranging highest on the lines where the work is heaviest. Beginning with $900 a year, all clerks who render faithful and efficient service receive annual promotions of $100 until they reach the maximum of the successive annual grades, after which they may be promoted at intervals for specially meritorious service until their annual compensation reaches $1,800 in the highest class. Chief clerks in the railway mail service receive $2,000 a year. More than $1,000,000 a year will be involved in these increases. AMERICAN FARMERS ARE NOT "BUNGOED" BUY FARM IMPLEMENT$ CHEAPER THAN CANADIAN FARMERS. CAMPAIGN LIE IS NAILED Investigation by State Department Gives Facts and Figures, and Michigan Manufacturing Firm Adds Evidence. "Farmers Buncoed by the High Tariff." is the title of a publication industriously circulated among farmers by the Tariff Reform bureau of New York, a free trade annex of the Democratic party. It asserts that American-made farm implements are sold in Canada at a lower price than they are obtainable by American farmers. The purpose of the statement is to prove that the American farmers are made to suffer through the operation of the protective tariff laws. The statement is false. Plows, planters, cultivators and other farm implements made in the United States cost twenty-five per cent, more in Canada than in this country. The free trade advocates who try to mislead the American farmer do not know, apparently, that there is a so-called anti-dumping law in Canada whereby an American manufacturer cannot sell in that country at a lower price than at home. Official Facts and Figures. In addition to this, they are also ignorant of the fact that the United States government, through its board of trade relations in the state department, has made a thorough investigation which disproves the false assertion. It issued under date of May 16, 1910, a document entitled "Comparison of Prices of Agricultural implements in Canada and the United States," which shows that Canadian farmers pay more for American farm machinery than is paid by the American farmers. Here are some of the figures: 14-inch, steel-beam walking plow—price in North Dakota, $22; price in Manitoba, $25. 14-inch sulky plow with lift-price in Ohio. $40; price in Ontario. $5. 16-inch North Dakota suky plow—price in North Dakota; $23, price in Manitoba. $90. 17-tooth spring tooth harrow—price in Ohio and Michigan; $17; price in Ontario. $22. foot, 16-inch disk harrow—price in North Dakota; $28, price in Manitoba. $49. 19-foot, 20-stake disk Kentucky drill—price in North Dakota; $122; price in Manitoba. $140. Riding cultivator, portable aisle price in Ohio and Michigan; $28; price in Ontario. $88. Hay loader, rake bar—price in Ohio and Michigan; $90; price in Ontario. $70. first grade farm wagon—price in North Dakota. $9; price in Manitoba. $100. Evidence Offered with Proof. Evidence to the same effect is given by the Gale Manufacturing company of Albion, Mich., which was specifically charged by the free trade advocates with selling goods more cheaply to Canadian farmers than to American farmers. The secretary and general manager of the company, under date of August 30, 1912, wrote to the Tariff Reform club denying the charge and threatening to sue for damages unless the assertion was promptly retracted. The firm also wrote to the Republican national committee as follows: "Plows, planters, cultivators and other farm machinery made in the United States cost 25 per cent. more in Canada than in this country. You can stand on this statement, and if it is challenged we can produce proof." The proof mentioned in this letter consists of letters from retail dealers throughout Canada quoting the prices at which the products of the Michigan factory are sold to Canadian farmers. These figures agree substantially with those given in the government publication. For instance, a planter which sells in Detroit for $40 costs $45 in Windsor, less than a mile away across the Detroit river, and a cultivator which sells in Detroit for $80 cannot be bought in Windsor for less than 45. NO.19 As soon as free trade statements are subjected to the cold analysis of investigation their falsity is shown. It is an old proverb that a lie will travel seven leagues while truth is putting on its boots. It is important, therefore, that farmers who have heard the untruths of the free traders should promptly learn the real facts in the case. ROOSEVELT AND RECIPROCITY ISSUE INSINCERITY AND DEMAGOGISM OF THIRD TERM CAN-DIDATE SHOWN. He Not Only Favored Reciprocity but Wrote President Taft That He Firmly Believed in Free Trade With Canada. Although reciprocity is now a dead issue, it is worth while, for the enlightenment of those who oppose President Taft for his endorsement of reciprocity, to recall the position taken by Colonel Roosevelt upon that question. Mr. Roosevelt favors free trade with Canada and was an ardent advocate and supporter of reciprocity until he found that its endorsement would not help him in his third term race. President Taft, while he was considering the question of reciprocity, naturally consulted with ex-President Roosevelt. He knew that Mr. Roosevelt had been president, that he was familiar with the subject and that he was, at that time, a good and loyal Republicans. When, in the course of a lengthy letter, he asked Mr. Roosevelt's advice, he reviewed both sides of the matter in impartial fashion. Mr. Roosevelt's reply was not only a full endorsement but he went so far as to advocate absolute free trade with Canada. Mr. Roosevelt wrote as follows: Repealvail for Free Trade with Canada New York, Jan. 28, 2011 Dear Mr. President: It comes to me that when you pose to do with Canada is committed from every standpoint. I firmly believe in free trade with Canada for both economic and political reasons. As you say, labor cost is substantially the same in the two countries, so that you are amply justified by the platform. Whether Canada will accept such reciprocity I do not know, but it is greatly to your credit to make the effort. Ever yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Not only in his letter to President Taft, but also in speeches Mr. Roosevelt endorsed reciprocity. At Grand Rapids, Mich., on February 18, 1911, he said: "Here, friends, in Michigan, right on the northern frontier, I have the peculiar right to say a word of congratulation to you and to all of us upon the likelihood that we shall need have closer reciprocal tariff and trade relations with the great nation to the north of us." And in a speech before the Republican club of New York city, delivered on February 18, 1911, Mr. Roosevelt gave emphatic endorsement of President Taft and reciprocity in the following words: "I want to say how glad I am at the way in which the members of the club here tonight responded to the two appeals made to them to uphold the hands of President Tatt, both in his effort to secure rectify with Canada and in his effort to secure the fortification of the Panama canal." Explanation Does Not Explain. In the face of this record Mr. Reevevelt now explains his anatomy to rectiprocity by saying that he did not fully understand the proposition and endorsed it under a micropresentation of its details Contributors to the Campaign Fund Who Believe in President Taft. One of the most encouraging factors in the campaign is the enthusiasm expressed by the many contributors to the Republican campaign fund. "It is my deliberate judgment," writes a Chicago merchant, "that Taft has been one of the best presidents that the United States has had is the last forty years and I believe that he deserves re-election." "We do not need any change in the presidency," writes a Wisconsin contributor, "and in my opinion we are not going to have any change. President Taft is an honest, able and conscientious man and he deserves and will receive re-election. In this locality the sentiment is coming his way." Hundreds of letters contain similar expressions of opinion. They show in every section a strong feeling that President Taft's splendid administration has made a deep impression and that people do not want a change.

Agents Wanted Everywhere HADLEY IS FOR TAFT Reosevelt's Former Manager Comes Out Squarely for the President. Gov. Hadley, of Missouri, who was one of Reosevelt's managers at the Republican national convention, and who had charge of the contest made by Reosevelt delegates, has declined to follow the Third Term candidate out of the Republican party, and has declared that he will support President Taft. In a speech at Jefferson City, Mo., he said: "I hope that these many high-minded but, I believe, mistaken men, who have thought there was a greater interest to be subserved by joining in the organization of a new party and the nomination of another State ticket, will yet see that by such acts they are simply doing that which tends to insure Democratic success. And I hope that they will come back to the party which has stood for decency; that has stood for sane and effective progress in the conduct of public affairs." After appealing to Republicans to support the Republican nominees, Gov. Hadley pointed out in his speech that the Democrats were pledged to the same kind of tariff legislation as they gave to the country after the Democratic victory of 1892. He said that no Republican could associate himself with those whose efforts tended to insure Democratic success. FORAKER SUPPORTS TAFT Says All Other Candidates Seek to Destroy Republican Party. By his physician's orders, former Senator Foraker has been compelled to decline the invitation to make speeches this campaign. Of course, as a loyal Republican, he is supporting Taft. For quite a while the former senator was in Maine for his health, and while there he was a keen observer of the political situation. He declares that the result in Maine was emphatically a victory for the policy of protection. Upon his return home he gave a highly interesting statement to the Cincinnati "Commercial Tribune," from which the following is excerpted: "It is the duty, of every Republican who wants to support the Republican party and Republican principles to remember that there is no way to support the party and its principles except by supporting President Taft. "Nobody else pretends to represent the Republican party. Every other candidate for the presidency is the open and avowed enemy of the Republican party. All alike are seeking its defeat and destruction." TALKING ABOUT STRAWS. The Billings (Mont.) Daily Gazette, which has been a strong Roosevelt paper until recently, has come over to Taft, the editor giving his reasons for the change in a double-column article, declaring that he sees no hope for the success of the Third Term party, and is convinced that the cause of real reform can be best promoted by continuing the Republican party in power. The article particularly emphasizes the danger of bringing about adverse business conditions through a change in administration, and points out the steady advance which has been made under Republican policies. It is a most significant editorial, and as the Gazette is the most important paper in Montana, its influence upon the election can hardly be measured. It is only another one of the innumerable signs that the Third Term party has collapsed, that the country realizes the fight between the Republican party and the Democratic party, and that no possible benefit could be derived from a change.

Which Threatened One County In Connecticut Would Have Been Experienced In Almost Every County In the United States. Congressman E. J. Hill is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, tariff experts in the United States. He represents Fairfield county, Connecticut, in congress, and he has recently published a startling document in which he shows the effect the Democratic tariff bills passed during the recent session of congress and vetoed by President Taft. would have had upon those industries if enacted into a law. He lists the factories in alphabetical order and shows in connection with each one just the percentage of reduction in the duty upon the article which it manufactures. The showing fills four pages of a newspaper and it has not only awakened Connecticut to a shuddering realization of the danger it has escaped, but it has aroused all New England to the menace of a Democratic victory. Mr. Hill shows beyond question that if these Democratic bills had passed practically every industry in his district and in the entire state of Connecticut would have been put upon a free trade basis and a very large proportion of them would have been obliged to close their deors. Manufacturers from all over the country who have seen this exhibit are writing to Mr. Hill to thank him for making it and to tell him that they had no idea how near to extinction they had been. They had not realized the deadly menace to their industries which was hidden in the Democratic tariff bills and they had not realized the immeasurable debt they owe to President Taft for vetting it. One correspondent from Delaware writes that Congressman Hill's disclosures had "set the state on fire," and that is hardly too strong a term to use to describe the intense interest aroused. Another article which has recently appeared and which has produced almost as startling an effect upon those to whom it was immediately addressed as that of Congressman Hill, is an editorial in the "American Sheep Breeder." This editorial calls attention to the fact that neither Colonel Roosevelt nor Professor Wilson made any reply whatever when asked what their attitude would be on the question of protection to the wool industry, while President Taft answered by wire, calling attention to his veto of the wool bill and the expression of opinion which he gave in that veto. The editorial very properly draws the inference from the silence of the Bull Moose and Democratic candidates that the wool industry need not hope for any consideration at their hands, and it quotes the message of President Tatt to show that he realizes the absolute necessity of protection in order that the industry may prosper, and that so long as he is in the White House no free wool bill can become a law. The "American Sheep Breeder" goes to many thousand men engaged in the sheep industry and it is not in any sense a political newspaper. It is devoted to the interests of the sheep industry, however, and its expression of editorial opinion that President Taft and the Republican party alone can be trusted to safeguard that industry, can hardly fall to concentrate upon the Republican ticket the vote of all those vitally interested in that industry. The Democratic managers realize the deep-seated distrust toward their party which exists on account of its attitude on the tariff question and are trying desperately to make it appear that the tariff plank in their platform does not really mean so very much. They plead that the Democratic program would be to reduce the tariff gradually so as not to disturb business, with the idea that ultimately the country could reach a free trade basis by easy stages—which is like the old story about gradually reducing the feed which is given to your horse until by dint of habit he learns to do without any feed at all. But the country will not be deceived. The country knows perfectly well that Democratic victory would mean a long period of tariff agitation with nothing certain except that in the end bills would be passed under which there would inevitably be enormous importations of foreign products with corresponding contraction and stagnation of domestic trade and manufacture. The country did not fall to take note of the tariff revision bills passed by the present Democratic congress under the boast that they did not contain a line of protection. The country knows that but for the courageous vetoes of President Teft these ruinous Democratic measures would now be on the statute books and in all probability the industries affected by them would be languishing and thousands of men out of work. It is the knowledge of these facts that is responsible for the strong and steady drift toward Taft that is reported from all sections of the country and that is the forecast of a sweeping Republican victory.

TRUE FIT TAILOR a great not pro- s. bears about the paying ALL SECTIONS REPRESENTED THE FASHION OF THE TRENCH COAT FARMER'S FRIEND IS PROTECTION RECORD OF MORE THAN A CENTURY PROVES THIS BEYOND ALL POSSIBLE DOUBT. Fallacies of Professor Wilson's Argument and of Democratic Free Trade Exposed by Facts American Farmers Have Always, Benefited by a Protective Tariff. The Democratic tariff bill, courageously voted by President Taft, PLACED CEREALS ON THE FREE LIST. A vote for President Taft and the Republican ticket is the safeguard of the farmer against the entry into the United States duty free, of the products of the great fields of Canada and others grain-growing countries. Professor Wilson is telling the farmers over and over again, that they have never been protected—that they do not need protection. Then in this connection the professor adds: "But everything you use on the farm, everything that you wear, and a great deal of what you eat, but do not produce yourself, including meats, bears a heavy duty, which brings about the interesting result that you are paying for the wealth of the United States and getting nothing, or equivalent to nothing, so far as the tariff is concerned. Now that has just begun to be true. It has/always been true." It is not true. The protective tariff does benefit the farmers. American farmers know this fact, and by their votes have helped to maintain the policy of protection. Without their votes the party of protection could not have won a single presidential election in the last forty years. Have the farmers been mistaken through all these years? They have not. Has protection been of no value to them? It certainly has. All history and all fact dispute the academic free trade contention that the farmer has no share in the benefits of protection. In every period of industrial depression, resulting from the destruction of the tariff duties below the protective point, the farmers of this country have been heavy losers, because of diminished demand and lower prices for their products. In the most recent period of Democratic free trade legislation—1894-97—the farmers of the United States lose fully five billion dollars in reduced prices of farm products, and diminished values of farm property. In every period of restored protection the farmers have reaped the benefits of a greater demand and increased prices. There has been no exception to the rule of prosperity for American farmers, when American labor is fully employed. Here are some proofs of that fact. In a recent statement by Senator Smoot printed in the Congressional Record of August 26, 1912, it is shown that in December, 1896, after two years of free trade tariff revision under the Wilson law of 1894, the price of corn was twenty-three cents a bushel, while in December, 1911, after fourteen years of restored protection, the price of corn was sixty-nine cents a bushel; or an advance over 1896 of 200 per cent. Using 1896 as the basis of comparison with December, 1911, it is found that under a protective tariff: Corn advanced 200 per cent. Wheat advanced 67 per cent. Cotton advanced 28 per cent. Oats advanced 166 per cent. Rye advanced 137 per cent. Barley advanced 308 per cent. Hay advanced 138 per cent. Hops advanced 286 per cent. Potatoes advanced 282 per cent. Flaxseed advanced 149 per cent. Fat cattle advanced 62 per cent. Fat hogs advanced 96 per cent. Dairy butter advanced 83 per cent. Eggs advanced 90 per cent. While the price of farm products has increased, the price of articles which the farmer purchases has not increased in proportion. He can buy more today with the products of his WILLIAM H.

Ten bushels of corn paid for 31 yards of bleached sheeting in 1911, and only 13 yards in 1896. Ten bushels of corn in 1911 paid for two pairs of shoes, and only one pair in 1896. Professor Wilson and other Democratic speakers and writers assert what is absolutely untrue when they say, that the protective tariff robs, and in no way benefits the American farmer. As a matter of fact, there is probably no class of American producers whose share in the benefits of protection in the past fifteen years, has been so great as the share of the American farmer. JAMES S. SHERMAN If the farmers rightly understand their interests, they will vote against the party of free-trade. They will cast a million votes for President Taft and Vice President Sherman and a continuation of the Republican policy of protection. The voters will not spoil a fairly good schoolmaster by trying to make him a second-class president. REAISE FOR MR. TAFT EUTORIAL COMMENDATION OF HIS CHARACTER, HIS ACHIEVIE- MENTS AND HIS WISDOM. The President Eulogized Because He Is Wise, Honorable, Dignified, Courageous and Safeland His Triumphant Re-election Is Predicted. From every section of the country comes editorial commendation of President Taft and of his administration. Quite a number of papers which, until recently, and remained independent, have, like the Clinton, ill., Journal, declared their conviction that only the continuance of present policies will ensure the stability and prosperity of the agricultural, industrial and financial interest of the nation. The president is receiving credit for his courageous vetoes of free trade tariff bills, for his efforts to secure economical administration of the government and for his success in improving social conditions through recommending and forcefully advocating legislation.

STEADY ADVANCE OF COLORED MEN WORK FOR BETTER RESULTS. Optimistic View, of Courses, Taken by Afro-Americans In Respect to Their Duty to Make Every Reasonable Effort to Conserve the Best Interest of the Race. By education, long experience, and constant effort to maintain his integrity as an American citizen the Negro is at last taking his rightful place in the ranks of all political parties with earnestness of purpose and a desire in so doing to conserve the best interests of the race in all sections of the country. If the highest ideals of our democratic form of government are ever to be realised all fair minded men, whether in the south or other sections of the country, must show their willingness to accord to the Negro the political rights which the constitution provides for all citizens without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. This is all the Negro asks of Democrats, Republicans, the "third" party or any other political organization. This attitude of colored men is in line with the views recently expressed by Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal Mr. Watterson says: "A new generation of blacks has come upon the scene. These blacks are better educated. In the north they understand the situation. What do they owe the Republicans? In our opinion, nothing. "If they ever expect to help their brethren in the south this is a good chance to do it, because to the white people in the south they must look for substantial help and real advantage, and everything which allays race prejudice and brings the two people nearer together in friendly and neighborly intercourse will insure to the profit of the weaker in the life struggle. "The Courier-Journal has never sought to make a party profit out of the Negro. It is his friend and his neighbor, his fellow citizen and his fellow Christian. The whites cannot prosper if the blacks laugish. We are, whites and blacks, in the same boat, and we must sit fair and row steady if we expect to be happy and make progress. "The white man should want nothing of the benefits of government for himself and his children which he is not willing to allow the black man for himself and his children. We are mutually dependent. We are bound to live together. We cannot get away from one another; hence a good working and living understanding is the basis of the common interest. "The black people long ago learned that some politicians had no use for them except to vote them. Through forty years they have been paying a debt they but half owed. In the meantime the whites of the south have been allying them in substantial ways. If they should turn about now and vote the Democratic ticket in the north or divide their vote they would be pursuing a wise policy. By this action they would be in position to assert at once their intelligence and their independence. The Columbia state of South Carolina opens its doors and welcomes the colored voters in and says in doing so it follows the advice of Alexander Stephens, General Gordon, Senator Zeb Vance and Matt Ransom of North Carolina and others. There is nothing new or strange in the opposition we are meeting with in our effort to ally ourselves with the different political parties, says Bishop Alexander Walters. We have always met with strong opposition in our endeavors to better our condition. When the Negro asked for admission into the army at the beginning of the civil war he was told that he was not wanted; that it was a white man's war. Even the great Lincoln at first threw his weight against allowing the Negro to fight bleed and die to save the Union and break the shackles from his own ankles and wrists. Did the Negro give up because he was not wanted? "No; he was told that he was making a fool of himself to offer himself to the nation, to enter the army, to die to help a people who did not want him. He was driven like a dog from the Union camp, but the Negro had sense enough to know that he would better his condition by being admitted to the army, allowed to fight for his country and his freedom, so he persisted in his efforts and was finally admitted."

Daniel has spent years in the study of waterways and navigation, both in this country and abroad.

The Trinity River in Texas and the Arkansas in the state of Arkansas have been declared navigable, and Ft. Smith, Dallas and Fort Worth get freight hauled in and manufactured goods hauled out for 25 to 75 per cent less than Oklahoma points for the reason that congress has made the rivers navigable. The Arkansas SHOULD be made navigable in Oklahoma, and Mr. Daniel will see that it is done when once in Congress.
