not Its eternally "going after them."

A i;rKosri:tT and a pkoiikcy
VVith the recurrence of the birth
day of Washington the mind Instinc
tively tarns backward to the marvel
ous sLcry of the Intervening years.
Tiny embrace less than two centur
ies, liut what other two centuries
in human annals can compare with
them In the glorious aceertions of
progressive achievement?
That the chosen people of God did
liot dwell amid the twilight of the
ages and In far-away Judca, but were
reserved to a later time, and a region
then undiscovered of men, and that
the American republic wus ordained
t-f tn.d to illustrate upon the theatre
of tl.o new world the possibilities of
free government in contrast with the
failures and tyrannies and corruptions
of the old, we do truly believe. That
in the fiist article- In our confession
.f faith. And the second Is llk unto
It, that Washington .was raised up
by God to create it, and that Lincoln
was rrlsed up by God to Bave It;
ilric why the militia colonel of Vir
ginia and the rail-splitter of Illinois,
Tor no reason that was obvious at the
time, before all other men? God
moves In a mysterious way his won
'ders to perform. The star of the
vuiblliiie destiny that hung over the
manager of our blessed Savior hung
over the cradle of our blessed un
ion. Thus far it has weathered each
historic danger which has gone be
fore to mark the decline and fall of
nations; the struggle for existence;
the for;lgn Invasion; the Internecine
strife; the disputed succession; relig
ious bigotry and racial conflct. One
other peril confronts It; the demorali
zation of wcnlth and luxury; too great
prospirlty; excess of power. Shall we
survive the lures with which the spirit
of evil, playing upon our self-love,
seeks to trip our wayward footsteps,
purse-pride and party spirit, mistaken
zeal and perverted religion, fanatle
lam Booking to abridge liberty and
li.ioity running to license, greed mas
querading as a patriot and ambition
making a commodity of glory or,
under the process of a divine evolu
tion shall we b( able to mount and
rldo the waves which, swallowed, the
tribes of Israel, which engulfed the
phalanx of Greece and tho legions of
Rome, yea, which still beat tho sides
and sweep the decks of feudalism In
England and Germany, , In Austria,.
Italy and Spain? , i
We shall mount and ride them,
ph ase God!
Tho one-party power Is Imminent;
but It Is neither absolute, nor su
preme. The one man power Is not
In sight. The stars In this courses
light for us; the vlrtuo and Intelli
gence rf the people were never so
watchful unit alert. Truth Is mightier
than ever and Justice, mounting guard
wen in tho hall of statues, walks
everywhere tho battlement; of free
dom! By Henry Wattcrson In Cour-

Dolltver has affiliated with Demo

enough to get a little Democracy in

threatens an luvestlgatlon of the post
office department, a thing the admin

:o:
Just why the administration will
persist in claiming the postal short
age is caused by carrying second class
mail matter Is hard to understand.
The government departments send
out thousands of pounds dally, scot
free, and much of this matter the
people don't want.

The territory of Alaska was
bought from Husaia in 1867 for $7,
000,000. Us gold output since 1880,
when placer mining began, amounts
now to $161,000,000, and the ex
ploitation of Its resources of copper,
coal and other minerals has hardly
begun.

Aldrlch and Cannon and their al
lies In congress cannot "read the In-

they have the approval or co-operation
of President Taft. The Insur
gents cannot be read out of the
party unless a majority of the Re
publicans In more than a dozen states
ate read out of the party with them.
:o:
The New York Press, a leading
Republican paper, touches up tho ship
subsidy hill as follows: "There are
enough had spots in the road ahead of
the Republican party leading to the
congressional elections In the fall
without the deliberate digging of a
dangerous pit on the way. The ad
ministration and the party are not
to Hume for any of the conditions
which arc causing popular dissatisfac
tion of the voters. Hut the American
people will not accept any explana
tion for a measure which scoops the
money directly out of the treasury to
be put into tho pockets of a few
shipowners who want to be support
ed by the government. Tho public
does not want to give up more with
out getting more for Itself; It wants
to give less and get more In this
situation of costly living. The New
York Press can think of no circum
stances which would Justify the sub
sidy Bchenie. It Is past our compre
hension how any o'ne In his political
senses could t propose , to open the
treasury to tho subsidy grabbers at
this particular time." And yet Taft
recommended It and urged congress
to pass the bill. , That Is the kind
of a man a big majority of tho voters
elected president. Fool 'em again.
