With ncf desire to reflect upon the mayor, board or aldermen, or any official connected with the -town government, but in the full exercise of an inherent right of every American citizen, we kick. Our kicking is more for the purpose of giving vent to the mule proclivities pent up in every citizen of the ordinary village, than for the purpose of correct ing any evil which may exist in our town. Our kicking is against the papers and waste matter which is cast upon our streets and in many cases left to remain. Let us beautify our streets and thereby render our town more healthful and attractive to visit ors: Just a little more painstaking on the part of our business men and a little more careful over sight on the part of our police force might change appearance of things a great deal. And while we are seeking to beautify our streets let us not fail to frive | some attention to the unsightly sign boards which grace? the elec tric poles on North Park Place. Our streets are more beautiful than they used to be; our officials are more careful in these matters than they used to be, but let us not be weary in well doing: for our streets lack a great deal being as clean and attractive as they ought to be. And now we have kicked and now we feel better. It is a nr >at thing to kick and the kickei like the poor is even with us. Virginia's mo3t prominent De nocratic Congressman in an interview, on the suggestion of John Temple Graves, in a recent speech, that William J. Bryan should propose the name of Theodore Roosvelt for a third term for president in the next Democratic National Convention said the idea was "rediculous and absurd". "It is the sheerest nonsesense. It is the most absurd thing in politics I have heard, except possibly the story of the five million dollar con spiracy to defeat President Roosvet and his policies. "It is impossible that any Dem ocrat in a National Democratic Convention should nominate President Roosvelt. His record is anything but Democratic. His policies, however well meant, are not Democratic, and 1 cannot see how any one calling and feeling himself a Democrat can admire, respect, commend what we understand is the Roos velt way of conducting the government. "If I were talking te an audience of Southen Democrats I think I would remind them of some things in Roosvelt's aecord which some Democrats down our way seem to have forgotten. I would recall to them that the ne gro school teacher, Booker Wash ington, as recognized by Pres. Koosvelt, has superior claims to consideration as an adviser than * ImvM United States Senators who 1 happen not to agree with the President in affair*, as notable j in the case of Alabama and Ohio, i I would recalgthe Crum appoint- i ment, the Indianola post office i suspension, and I would re- | mind Southern people that he has i spoken in public of Southern sol- i diers as no better than anarchists, i as he did in a speech at Arlington i cemetery, May 31, 1902, with the graves of Confederate soldiers in sight of him. Of all Democrats to suggest the election of Roosvelt one from the South ought to be the last. S r eaking further of Mr. Roose velt's policies, Mr. Hay remarked "Take the ship subeid, which Roosevelt supports. There is lot o single Democratic idea in that business. If there is a Dem ocratic idea left in the country it is opposed to the ship subsidy and ill other subsidies. '-How does Mr. Roosevelt appeal to Democrats as a tariff reformer If he ever was inclined in that direction it was when he wrote books as a youth, at the sam? time that he anathema tizeo I Tomas Jeffersion and others o* i our greatest Democratic states men. Through the six years of the Roosevelt administration he has been as unyielding a stand patter on the tariff as Speaker Oam.on, Payne, Dalzell, or any of the rest of them. "President Roosevelt- has very ostensibly made war on the trusts. I would* like to know wherein, from his method of attacking trusts and monoplies, the people of the country have been sub stantially benefited. What is the article of trust production the price of which has been reduced to the consumer by trust-busting of the Roosevelt kind? We as Democrats,, have fought trust? and monopolies as the creatures of the high protective tariff. Roosevelt and his party have enacted laws that sustained and maintained these trusts and mon opolies. ' The Republican party has fried fat for campaign purposes out of these trusts and monopolies, and at tne last election, notwithstand ing Mr. Roosevelt's denial that the money was used for improper puposes, his National Campa'gn Committe solicited and received and used money obtained from the trusts and other corporations. Is there a Democrat who believes that these great business insti tunions, composed of "practical men" would have contrlbnted to Mr. Roosevelt's election merely out of personol infatuation? Mr/ Roosevelt himself is to "practical a man to tnink of such a thing". Many prominent Democrats of Mr. Hay's stamp are taking the ground that the Democrotic party should turn to tariff reform as the issue in 1908. It is pointed out by them that the party has gained all of the glory to be had out of railroad regulation and that in order to unite all elements of the party revision of the tariff should be made Democracy's bat tle cry in the next Presidents! campaign.
