In on address to the Democratic itate convention of Illinois Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago summed up the political situation as folows: "In the last few years the 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 tho nation. Is the downward revision plank of the last Republican convention and the 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 nation with un apology for his part in it. "The people of this nation are beginning to realize this fact. They realize they must look for relief to the Democracy that has resulted in Democratic victories 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 Jersey, a governor In Ohio, and a governor in Indiana. More than that, the nation has selected a Democratic house of representatives j and that magnificent body of true I 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 hnndles its pledges. "Thnor* o*?n /lo??n ' ?* - 1?* .MVCU uic uuj o, Hi; 11 1C11US, WUflU it feels good to be a Democrat. And yet, when we look abroad at Its magnificent succession of Democratic victories In other states we Democrats In Illinois wonder what has become of our party. We ask ourselves what, In ' these years, has Democracy done? And ' the 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 conk secrated to the rights of the people. If Democracy is untrue to its principles, if it forgets for what purpose it was called into being. Democracy cannot i succeed; it does not deserve to suc1 ceed. "We ask you, my friends, to Join with us today in a movement which * will bring about a reorganisation of 1 the party or party management. We * do not want to drive a single Democrat from the party, but we do insist that the leaders of the party shall bo 9 men that believe in Democratic prlnci1 pies. On that kind of a platform, my 1 friends, we can go into the fight of 1912, and in that great conflict the Democracy, of Illinois will do its full i share of work in bringing about a t Democratic victory in rescuing the >. state of Illinois from the Republican ' party, placing a Democrat, whoever he Dsmoci . :i 1u? Or.; ?< In or?Jc tv . in * next atioual , - I bV Ii;ii 'he 1 :> n.urt t . t organised. Now Is tho time to unuers take the organization of Democratic - clubs. Eleventh hour organizations, of the "mushroom variety," are all right and do good work, but victories are not i the result of chance?they are the rei suits of organization, of careful plan* > ning, of thorough equipment and of concerted action! Tho 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 met. of the country to get busy if they want to contribute to the perpetuity of Democratic institutions. Gorman's Manly Stand. State Senator Arthur P. Gorman, who secured tho 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 politics. 1 have no more use for the crooked politician, or the man who is in politics for graft or to serve 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 thlnka If Ic Klu "..inii to til.j \l U 1/ VKJ ? mc people in their homes" nhout three times a year whether they invito him or not. The further away Mr. Taft gets from Washington the more ferocious he becomes against the trusts. Maybe If we shifted the seat of government to Idaho we could get him to help revise the tariff downward. Nobody seems to know who la running the government at Washington Just now, but the probability is that Solicitor McCabe of tho department of agriculture is the person. He Is so busy ham-stringing the pure-food law that ho never has time for a ' (tumping tour. Inexplicable. J One of the Rtrangest things In this ' world Is why the kind of woman who I Is proud of her intellectuality nearly i always merries a man who likes to f tinker with sick chickens. ROBBED OF THEIR HONORS Heroes Who Have Been Insulted and Humiliated Because They Were Democrats. Hour Admiral Schley, now dead and greatly honored, was at tbo height of his very dlstlngufaned career dishonored as few Americans have been. Those In the military and naval service who resented the Injustice done him, llko Gen. Miles and Admiral Dewey, were also affronted to their faces and In many ways made to foel the Insolence of olllce. All of those men v/cre Democrats. It was their misfortune thut 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 hlntsolf !>rwl Klo - ?* ? ' ... ? umu mo i4 0Dvv,uuto uiuai u; inv j glories of a little war In which the fa- : vored cowboys and their colonel act- ! ually 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 r.o record of a moro shameful proceeding than that in which Tlieo- j doro Roosevelt, to bolster up the false ; glamour of his own trilling performances as a soldier, sought with the aid of his mighty office to convict Schley of treason and cowardice, lie 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. We have had something like this In comic opera. On the stage ship's cooks sometimes become kings. Traveling salesmen may marry the emperor's daughter and so come to the throne. Shipwrecked sailors have been known to set up as monarclis in the i cannibal islands. But never before j in real life did a civilian, clothed for , a few weeks in the regimentals of a i wild west show, suddenly become commander in chief and begin bullying, j wigging and nose-pulling among lieu- | tenant generals, admirals and rear ad- | mirals grown gray in the service. The impudence and vanity and selfishness of it all were not its worst features. The worst of it was the ; personal meanness which took refuge : behind a great office and addressed language to subordinates which no truly bravo man would use to one , lower In rank even if guilt were already established. Tlio necessary silence of the men traduced and Insulted on that occasion speaks eloquently today and always will so speak in ; defense of true worth and in reproba- : tion of ambition, pride and arrogance, j strutting their brief day. Enthusiasm Everywhere. Democrats everywhere are un and enthusiastic. The last caraj demonstrated what can be through organization ar.d united fort. The progressive young nn the country are taking an active in politics and the league is doii it can to enconrnce ih?m t? c. speaking of the Maine election cently. Gov. Frederick \V. Pit said: "The young men of Maine wok Just as they are waking up all the country. "The young men of Maine su ed us, voted for us and put i'. hi - T e> like a miracle to you folks outside i when we democrats carried Maine? i Well, with Maine's young men in their present temper that miracle Is ant to 1 be repeated pretty frequently. The ' Republican solidity of this state is ! gone. Maine is progressive and she 1 will continue to he progressive and Independent." Nobody Like Him, "The interests of the American people demanded that I should act just exactly as I 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 signature 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 I a point in his experiences where his routine expressions of ancient and trite generalities eonnot arouse public | attention, he has recourse to that Pan- [ ama business. There is no false modesty about him. ' No hiding his light under a bushel. No 1 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 in- j errency of his policies or the omnls- ! cicnco of his actions. His Attitud*.
