CWhat Can i Do To j STor Those BURN Ftuo^'j | believe tuff must be CKAVf (A ^fftAwTsrOP TXfM A for trtey" nave brwn au i constitutional restraints'" j Mi . The above cartoon represents our wreckless President, and hischief adviser. Ir is a common re mark in Washington that Dr. Booker Washington, colored, has more influence with Emperor Roose velt than any other living mau. Colonel Roosevelt's disregard of the constitution and laws of this country has been exhibited on more than one occasion. The evidence is overwhelming that he en-! couraged revolution in Panama. Without the slightest warrant of law he ordered the Treasurer of 1 ihe United States to pay out more than five million dollars, fie contemptuously closed up a post office which belonged to the people of Iudianola because they refused .0 receive their mail from a j 1 negro woman. No wonder uncle Sam is looking on at the mad dash of these two runaways in utter; amazement! No wonder that Chief Justice Fuller looks on with a feeling of gn at, anxiety. Voter, one week from next Tuesday you will be called upon to indicate your choice for President 1 of the United States. The Republican party presents as its candidate a wreckless man, who will just as certainly involve this country in war as the slightest excuse is offered. He is if man who has a contempt for those who toil. Every single one of the high pretentions which from time to time he has heretofore announcedjhas been either sacrificed or abandoned. He denounced the trusts, but now he has made terms with them aud they are supporting him. His break with J. Pierpout Morgan has been patched up, and the President is now on terms of intimacy with this illustrious financier. Emperor Roosevelt has the very highest opinion of those who extort great fortunes out of the toiling j masses, but the small farmer and agricultural laborer, in his opinion, are not near as good as the i drunken, murderous cowboy. Whom does the Democratic party present? A great and good man, who spent his boyhood on a farm, who taught school to aaise money to educate himself, and who has contrived by economy j ; and industry to surround himself with the necessary comforts of life. President Roosevelt is rich? he is said to be a millionaire. Judge Parker is a poor man who knows what it is to earn a dollar, j His indomitable will, his sterling character, his great ability and his absolute loyalty to the people made him the Chief Judge of the greatest court in New York State. His name is without a blemish. He believes that public officials are the servants, the hirelings of the people,?not their masters as President Roosevelt thinks. Judge Parker would suffer his right arm cut off before he would know ingly violate the constitution or laws of his country. When the President is inaugurated he takes an oath to supeort the constitution and laws of the United Stales. If he wilfully disregards the ( constitution or laws of our country he is guilty of perjury. And now, reader, the issue is made up. This is the last cartoon which will appear in The Hekald in this campaign. If we know the difference between reght and wrong, the Democratic party is right. Unless our mental perception is blunted, the principles of the Democratic party are righteous. It is neither right nor just to take from one man and give to another. Therefore, the Republican party is wrong and the Democratic party right. Whether we shall win or lose in this great national contest, the principles of the Democratic party will endure. They are not destined to die but to live; and some day, disgusted with the arrogant greed of the' Republican party, alarmed at its disregard of law, the people of this country will turn to this old much abused Democratic; party for protection.
