POLITICAL PARTFeS-
The Young Man Must Choose

vestigation. Tbe universities nnd colleges and
high hcLooIs are ngaln Fending out
thousands of younjj men equipped, ns
far os educntiou cau arm theui, to fight
life's battle. They will enter Into
every profession nud business and
must struggle for a living wltli the
older and more seasoned army that
has preceded them. Many of these
young men, especially from the law
Bchools, will enter upon political ca
reers, and all will have to decide upon
the political party they will support.
Those that are honest and true, and
nearly all young men are so until con
taminated, wUl naturally turn from
corruptlou and grafting, and some at
least will strive to correct those terri
ble evils that have so vastly dimmed
the luster of the party lu power. Fam
ily ties and associations naturally
bave great Influence In deciding the
political course of young men about to
'nnt their first vote. The bias of the
teachers of economics has led many to
look on but one side of political issues,
and hence many young men are very
apt to decide their political future
without tine Investigation of both sides
of the great political questions that di
vide the parties.
As the Democratic narty has every
thing to gain by the investigation and
publicity of Its contentious and being
the great historic party of the nation,
Its principles should be thoroughly
scrutinized and given due weight be
fore a decision is arrived at.
The fundamental doctrine of democ
racy is "equal rights to all and special
privileges to none." The Democrats
believe lu home rule and that every
community has the right to decide Its
local Issues and the amount 'Of the lo
cal taxation, to decide upon municipal
ownership and the regulation of the
liquor traffic and such other local mat
ters as affect the community. All these
under Democratic rule are settled as a
majority of the legal voters may de
cide. The great national questions of the
tariff, subsidies to corporations and in
dividuals, regulation of railroad rates
and control of trusts and combines, the
management of the nuances of the
country', the rights of capital and la
bor, the question of Individualism or
socialism, militarism. Imperialism; tax
ation without representation, all must
be investigated before the young man
can fairly decide with whom he will
politically ally himself.
As government Is the chief agency
and adjunct of civilization, it Is entire
ly worthless unless it protects life and
property and provides libi rty without
license. A government which takes
from the people by taxation more mon

One of tbe leading newspapers of tbo
i jiimry, ret erring to Uie disclosures
i;i;ule by Senator Tillman respecting
h'.a "conspiracy with tlie president,"
says of Mr. ltoosevelt that he has been
'ti'ually caught iu tbe trap of his own
duplicity and caged there for tbe re
gretful ga.e of a niortilieJ nation."
Another great newspaper and a Re
publican newspaper, too declares that
"too much has been made public" iu
connection with tbe Tillman exposures
"to please those who wish to retain es
teem for tbe occupants of honorable
positions in tbe public service" and
siij"ests that "the public can be best

lr performance of its dnVes and non-
interference with other brauebes of the
! government" Iu regard to the presl
dP.,f denunciation of William E.
Chamber, the same paper (the Balti
more American) says lu an editorial:
"While It Is as patriotic to assume
that the executive Is always right and
every one else wrong, It would seem to
be the part of wisdom not to strain that
sentiment too much. Heretofore there
have been some wise and virtuous peo
ple In tbe land besides the presidents,
and it is possible that there are still a
few scattered over the country."
The president has shown himself to
be a blunderer, if no worse, and It is
clear from such expressions of public
opinion as we have quoted that he has
at last forfeited the. confidence and re
spect of Republicans and Democrats
alike. It is evident, moreover, that
even while dealing with him senators
Iibto. lieen oblleed to use the same pre
cautions against fraud and duplicity
which prudent meu use In dealing wli
known tricksters uy securing uocu
lnentary evidence of the nature of Oe
transactions In anticipation of bad
faith. This documentary evidence sus
tains the charge of duplicity made by
sfeaator Tillman, which is Iu substance
that Roosevelt with the design of ap
pearing to be the real author of rate
legislation secretly trafficked at the
same time with both factions of the
Republicans and with the Democrats
and that after recelvlug the support of
the latter he betrayed them and his
Republican.. allies and sought to de
ceive fEe country by means of false ac
cusations against William E. Chandler,
whom he had authorized to treat In his
behair with Senators Bailey and Till
man. Fortunate indeed it was for Till
man and Bailey that they used the pre
caution uow ascribed also to Republic
an senators "lest there should be traps
for them."
The president says. "There was not
the slightest opportunity for any hon
est misconception of my attitude." But
the evidence shows that there was am
ple ground for suspicion, though possi
bly the very existence of that well
grounded suspicion shows that there

GRAFT AND USURPATION.
Serloua Charts la Comaectloa With
the lathmna Pipe Line.
In the debate on the rate bill May 15
the charge of graft and usurpation was
made against the president In connec
tion with a monopoly for a pipe line
on the Isthmus of Panama, which had
been granted to the Union Oil com
pany. Senator Morgan had secured an
amendment to the rate bill making
pipe lines on the isthmus common car
riers. Mr. Hopkins moved to reconsider the
motion by which the amendment was
adopted.
Speaking to the motion. Senator Mor
gan said the concession by the presi
dent for a pipe line In the canal sone
bad an oily, not to say a flshy, smell
and was a peculiarly pronounced case
of graft He declared other pipe lines
had been denied the same privileges
granted to the Union company, and It
was "a sheer, cold usurpation of pow
er." This Is a very serious charge and one
which if well supported should result
In the Impeachment of the president.
It was bad enough to say of him that
in bis negotiations with Tillman and
Bailey he entered upon them with a
dilemma, arranged affairs with a sub
terfuge, withdrew with a mental reser
vation and prevaricated when caught
But it Is still worse to charge that he
Is a grafter and usurper In league with
Cromwell and the oil, trust. If this
last charge Is as well sustained as the
charge of bad faith has been It is high
time to rid the executive office of Its
present occupant.
