President U Forced to Make a Tour of Nation With an Apology for the Shortcomings of His Party. 1a an address to tho Democratic itato convention of Illinois Mayor Cartor Harrison of Chicago summed up tho political situation as folows: "In the last few years tho people of this nation have been awakening to the insincerity of Republican platForms and the insincerity of Republican pledges. The most notable example, the one known to all citizens of the nation, is the downward revision plank of the last Republican convention and tho action of a Republican senate, of a Republican president, a Republican congress in dealing with that question; an action which today causes the president of the United States to be making a tour of the natic " with an apology for his part in it. "The peo- e of this nation are beginning to lize this fact. They realize they in., t look for relief to the Democracy that has resulted in Democratic vlctorios which have cheered the Democratic party for the laGt two years. "In that time our party has gained a governor in Maine, a governor in Massachusetts, a governor in New York, a governor in Connecticut, a governor in New Jersoy, a governor In Ohio, and a governor in Indiana. More than that, the nation has selected a Democratic house of representatives and that magnificent body of true Democrats in its last session showed to the nation the difference between the way in which Democracy handles its party pledges and the Republican party handles its pledges. "These are days, my friends, when it feels good to be a Democrat. And yet, when we look abroad at its mag iflcent succession of Democratic vie torles in other states wc Democrats in Illinois wonder what has become ol our party. We ask ourselves what, in these years, has Democracy done? And tho best answer we can give is it has elected a Republican senator of the United States. "My friends, Democracy is a party of principle. Democracy stands con secratcd to the rights of the people. II Democracy is untrue to its principles If it forgets for what purpose it was called into being, Democracy cannot succeed; it does not deserve to sue ceed. "We ask you, my friends, to joir with us today In a movement whict will bring about a reorganization ol the party or party management. \V< do not want to drive a single Demo crat from the party, but we do insist that the leaders of the party shall be men that believe in Democratic princi pies. On that kind of a platform, tn> friends, we can go into the fight ol 1912, and in that great confiict the Democracy, of Illinois will do its full share of work in bringing about t Democratic victory in rescuing thr state of Illinois from the Republicar party, placing a Democrat, whoever he gov:-r < nt ;n... : ;i . ., o, D&moera's tus Orga> zt In o de. to wiri in next ational Hon the Doj ? tJ j party must be organized. Now la tho time to undertake the organization of Democratic clubs. Eleventh hour organizations, of the "mushroom variety," are all right and do good work, but victories are not the result of chance?they are the results of organization, of careful planning, of thorough equipment and of concerted action! The National Democratic League of Clubs and the Federated State Leagues invite all the progressive young men of tho country to join their ranks now. Tho league is practically a young man's organization, it appeals to them for support and it relies on them to help carry out its plans?whatever victories or rewards follow will be theirs. Now is the time for the progressive young men of the country to got busy if they want to contribute to the perpetuity /\ j* rinm /"?/-? ? o 1 nei Gorman's Manly Stand. State Senator Arthur P. Gorman, who secured the Democratic nomination for governor of Maryland, says of himself: "I am a Democrat and I am a politician, and I am not ashamed to plead guilty to either charge. Hut while 1 am not ashamed to be called a politician, 1 want to say with equal candor that there is politics and polltics. I have no more use for the crooked politician, or the man who is in politics for graft or to ser*e his special friends or ends or Interests or for the man who tries to fool the public, than I have for the hypocrite or the liar, or the thief. I play my politics In the open." James J. Hill says that nothing is the matter with the country except political ghost dancing, which is an unkind way to refer to a president who thinks it is his duty to "visit the people in their homes" about three times a year whether they Invite him or not. The further away Mr. Taft gets rrom wasnington the more ferocious he becomes against the trusts. Maybe if wo shifted the seat of government to Idaho we could get him to help revise the tariff downward. Nobody seems to know who is running the government at Washington Just now, but the probability is that Solicitor McCabe of the department of agriculture is the person. lie is so busy hamstringing the pure-food law that ho never has tlmo for a tumping tour. Inexplicable. One of the strangest things in this world is why the kina of woman who is proud of her intellectuality nnrly always marries a man who likes to tinker with sick chickens. ROBBED OF TMEIH HONORS Heroes Who Have Been insulted and Humiliated Because They Were Democrats. Rear Admiral Schley, now dead and greatly honored, was ut the height of HIb very distinguished carcor dishonored as few Americans have been. Those In the military and naval service who resented tho injustice done him, llko Gen. Miles and Admiral Dewey, were also affronted to their faces nnd In many ways mado to feel .the Insolence of office. All of these men wore Democrats. It was their misfortune that after their brilliant public service was practically closed there came to the presidency by accident a colonel of a cowboy regiment who proceeded to appropriate to himself and his associates most of the I glories of a little war In which the favored cowboys and their colonel actually played an insignificant part. To make heroes of Wood and Roosevelt It became necessary to destroy or to belittle Schley, Miles and Dewey. In all the history of the presidency there Is no record of a more shameful proceeding than that In which Theodore Roosevelt, to bolster up the false glamour of his own trifling performances as a soldier, sought with the aid | of his mighty olllee to convict Sehlov of treason and cowardice. He did not do this In manly fashion. He did it by Insinuation and inuendo, coupled with characteristic bluster. When Miles and Dewey protested he heaped humiliation r.nd insult upon them. i We have had something like this in comic opera. On the stage ship's cooks sometimes become kings. Trav1 eling salesmen may marry the em1 peror's daughter and so come to the 1 throne. Shipwrecked sailors have been 1 known to set up as monarchs in the 1 cannibal islands. Hut never before ^ in real life did a civilian, clothed for 1 a few weeks in the regimentals of a 1 wild west show, suddenly become com1 mander in chief and begin bullying, wigging and nose-pulling among lieu1 tenant generals, admirals and rear adL mirals grown gray in the service. The impudence and vanity and self ishness of it all were not its worst > features. The worst of it was the ' personal meanness which took refuge 1 behind a great office and addressed language to subordinates which no 1 truly bravo man would use to one > lower in rank even if guilt were already established. The necessary si' lence of the men traduced and Insult od on that occasion speaks eloquently today and always will so speak in . I defense of true worth and in reprobai tlon of ambition, pride and arrogance, I strutting their brief day. Enthusiasm Everywhere. i Democrats everywhere are un i and enthusiastic. The last camj f demonstrated what can be i through organization and united . fort. The progressive young m< t the country are taking an active > in politics and the league is doii it can to encourage them to do si r speaking of the Maine election t cently. Gov. Frederick W. Piti said: I "The young men of Maine wok i just as they are waking up all t the country. i "The young men of Maine su s ed us, voted for us and put Kit ht" 5. !' -v > I , . - .T | hjiv . w like a miracle to you folks outside ' when we Democrats carried Maine? Well, with Maine's young men In (heir present temper that miracle Is apt to be repeated pretty frequently. The Republican solidity of this state Is gone. Maine Is progressive and she will continue to bo progressive and independent." Nobody Like Him. "The interests of the American people demnndod thnt 1 should act just exactly as 1 did act . . . for the only thing which makes it worth while to hold a big office is taking advantage of the opportunities the office offers to do some big thing that ought to be done and is worth doing." No signaturo is necessary to the foregoing quotation for readers to recognize that it comes from Theodore Roosevelt. And no explanation is needed to understand that it has reference to his action in regard to securing control over Panama. Now that Mr. Roosevelt has reached a point In his experiences where his routine expressions of ancient ami trite generalities connot arouse public attention, he has recourse to that Pan- i ama business. There Is no false modesty about him. No hiding his light under a bushel. No shrinking from announcing his assumed Infallibility. Others may doubt?even concerning their own wisdom. But the nation and the world still have one man who wavers not In his confidence in the Inerrency of his policies or the omnis- J cicnce of his actions. His Attitude.
