LETTER FROM MR. PERKINS
; i New York City, September 14, 1912.
' To the. Editor of the New York American:
y Sir: I am very much impressed with the special cable, via the London
Daily Express, published in your issue of this morning, wherein Mr. Hearst
expresses his views on the position taken by Mr. Wilson and the democratic
party on the tariff and recent views expressed by Mr. Wilson as to the abil
ity of our business men in the matter of developing our foreign commerce.
Mr. Hearst, in his statement, as I read it, has made the present, issue be
tween the progressive and Democratic parties so clear that one and all
can grasp it and make up his mind whether he is for the policy, or lack of
policy, advocated by the Democratic party or the policy advocated by the
Progressive par,ty.
How the Democratic party proposes to reconcile' its platform declarations ori
the tariff with Mr. Wilson's speeches on this subject and yet not disturb
business has been impossible for the ordinary man to understand, and Mr,
Hearst makes it clear that such a programme is impossible of practical ap
plication.
Mr. Hearst says that he is almost 'irritably disposed to contradict Mr.
Wilson's statement to the effect that our business men engaged in foreign
commerce are ignorant and provincial. Several days ago I called attention to
the fact that this was a most un-called-for and unjust criticism of our business
men who had fought so nobly to build up our foreign trade.
It has not been the ignorance and provincialism of our business men; it
has been the ignorance and provicialism of our men of public affairs, gov
ernment officials, appointees to consular positions and the like that have
kept the brakes on even a greater development of our foreign trade.
There has been practically no co-operation between our governmental
machinery and our business machinery to the end that our foreign commerce
be built up to the highest possible figure, while any man who is not indulg
ing in theories, but is talking from practical experience knows fullwell
that Germany, and England particularly, have always left no stone unturned
to assist their merchants in up-building trade.
If a man in England or Germany wants to start even a peanut stand any
where outside of his own country he can have almost any help at the disposal
of his government up to a battleship.
It has been in the face of such tremendous odds as these that our American
merchants have gone out into the farthest corners of the earth and sold our
wares, proving, as Mr. Hearst so accurately says, that they are the greatest
business men in the world and have made America the greatest business na
tion in the world.
The trouble with the present Democratic campaign, as the American peo
ple are seeing it, is that it is up to date a campaign, of criticism, faultfinding
and generalities a campaign that is evidently afraid to say that its soul
is its own. It is not holding out a scintilla of hope, nothing of a construct
ive nature whatever. If the tariff, as theDemocrats say, is the issue,flet
us know specifically what is going to be done about it.
If Dix and Murphy at Syracuse are not fit to be photographed with or
spoken to then they are so unfit as to be openly denounced and driven out
of public life as Lorimer was by Roosevelt
I know of no incident that could bring out in a more striking manner the
lack of courage on the part of the Democratic presidential candidate and the
prompt, manly courage of the Progressive candidate than the Wilson-Murphy-Dix
incident when they met at Syracuse yesterday and the Roosevelt-Lori-mer
incidenl from the time Roosevelt opened fire in .Illinois to the time
Lorimer's seat was declared vacant by the United States Senate.
GEORGE W PERKINS.
.OLD PARTIES USELESS
H. D. W. English, of Pittsburgh, a leading humanitarian and religious work
er in Pennsylvania, has made a stirring appeal for a union of Republican
and Democratic progressives to support Roosevelt and Johnson. He appeals
especially to the young men of bot.li parties, Mr. English is chairman of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement in Western Pennsylvania. His ap
peal takes the form of a letter addressed to a friend not disposed to be a
Progressive :
"I don't want you," he says, "to miss the great opportunity of standing out
at a time when it really amounts , to something to be counted on the side of
righteousness. The Progressive party is made up of the plain people largely,
and it should appeal in its platform and principles to every lover of social
justice. It maters not who the leaders may be, the cause is the thing.
"I am proud to say I am an elector-at-large in Pennsylvania for Theodore
Roosevelt. I hope I am partly to blame for his coming out.
"This is not a time to be influenced by what appears to be regular in a
political sense; this is not a time to be misled by papers which represent
the large invested interests.
"What has either party done for the last forty years to change the sec
tionalism of North and South? We are divided as we were at the close of
the war. What help has the believer in social justice, as being the fore
runner of the kingdom of Christ on earth, had from either of the old parties?
It is useless (and almost all social workers now seet it) to try to .put the
new wine of the present social and" economical movement into old party
bottles."
REGULATING. BUSINESS
This is how the three platforms stand in-regard to business:
Democratic: No plank.
Republican: We favor a Federal Trade Commission.
Progressive: The" test of true prosperity shall be the benefit conferred
on all citizens and not to individuals or classes; the test of corporate effi
ciency shall be the ability better to serve tlie public. National regulation
of interstate corporations. Corporate power has been abused, in monopoly
of national resources, in stock watering, in unfair competition and unfair
privileges, ana, imauy, in sinister influences on the public agencies of state
and" nation. We insist that it shall be exercised openly; under publicity,
supervision and regulation of the most efficient sort, which will preserve its
gooa wnne eradicating and preventing its evils. A strong federal administra
tive commission, maintaining supervision over industrial corporations eng
gaged in interstate commerce, as the government now does for the national
banks, and for 'the railroads by the interstate commerce commission. Co
operation by the federal government with manufacturers and producers in
extending our foreign commerce.

THE BIG FOUR
' THE PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM
It is pretty generally realized nowadays that it is better for the citjzens
to have monopoly control of such city utilities, as telephone gas, electric
light, .power, water and street car rather than competition'.
Two telephones on one desk are a great nuisance, two gas or electric
companies tearing up one set of streets ditto. As a matter of fact, the com
peting public utility companies almost invariably merge before many years
go by, which is pretty good proof that there is an economic law at work
beneath the surface which compels them to consolidate.
The Democratic trust plank of 1912 is but 'a regurgitation of the Populistic
planks of 1892 and l89G, written in (he flush of Mr. Bryan's boy orator
Hays. He advocates now, as he did then, the bursting of the trusts the
restoration of competition by force of law, which is impossible. In all the
yearsthe peerless leader has apparently learned nothing and forgotten noth
ing concerning the underlying causes of our industrial development. Mr.
Bryan's heart was ever stronger than his head.
'The trusts were "not made by the genius of Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie,
nor can they be unmade by the efforts of Wickersham, Bryan, or Wilson.
The trusts arose because in this great nation it is more economical to do
certain kinds of business on a nation-wide scale than in any other way.
As long as this remains true the trusts will remain here.
.The trusts cannot and should not be busted; but they can and should be
regulated by the nation as a whole for the nation as a whole.
The Republican plank .on trusts is purposely vague, meaningless, and futile.
Chicago Tribune. "
THE WAY THE WIND BLOWS
A Miunesota editor, A. M. Wells, of the Sauk Center Herald, has set a
new pace for those who are taking straw votes to test the popularity of the
candidates for president Mr. Wells paper circulates over five counties in
his state and he decided to get an approximate idea of the political faith of his
readers. He sent 400 letters to five men, one in each of these counties. In
the group were one lawyer, one newspaper wan, one business man and two
farmers.
He got two replies with this result: Roosevelt, 122; Wilson, 61; Taf,t, 13;
Debs, 1.
Patrick Calhoun, John D. Spreckles, M. H. DeYoung and Harrison Grey Otis
are not yet convinced that they are not the republican party of California
blve times since August, 1910, the people at the popular elections have renudi
ated these four, yet these gentlemen of millions still imagine that they, and
not tne people, constitute the republican nartv.
These four millionaires, with their newspapers, declared unceasing warfare
against Governor Johnson and decent government. At the primary election
of September 3 they again made Johnson's administration an issue, and
again the people by a vote of more than 10 to 1 endorsed the governor.
Johnson was willing to leave it to the people to decide who was the right
ful nominee of the republican party in California. By 10 to 1 they decided
for Roosevelt and repudiated the stolen nomination presented to President
Taft by a eonvention which was owned and operated by Penrose, Crane,
Barnes and others of the same type.
Yet these four millionaires cannot realize that they are a ridiculous spec
tacle when they announce as ' they do through their newspapers that they
are the republican party. v
Neither can these willionaires realize how common, ordinary people lath
when they read in Pat Calhoun's Post, or John D. Spreckels' Call, or De
Young's Chronicle that Roosevelt is backed by the trusts. ,
These millionaires in their contempt for the common people have the au
dacity to call the rank and file of the republican party a mob of perjurers
because the people .composing that party refused to let their inalienable
rights to be stolen. No wonder these plutocrats hate to have an election in
which the people decide. "The mob is so vulgar in demanding its rights."
ROOSEVELT, THE LEADER
The people of Arizona will greet Co'lonel Roosevelt today, not as a Prediden
tioal candidate, but as a citizen of this great republic, who fills a wonuoiful
place in the makeup of its citizenship. . We may, or may not believe in his
efforts to secure the presidency, but we must all accor3 to him the title of a
political genius, a leader of men, and a masterful man in every respect. As
police commissioner of New York, as a soldier of the Rough Riders, as the
governor of the great state of New York, and last, as President of the United
States, Mr. Roosevelt, in every position, demonstrated his masterly qualities
as a leader, and it must be said, to his everlasting credit, that nearly every
man, democrat or republican, who became intimately associated with him in
any of the many positions he filled, all stand like a stone wall in their friend
ship, and will follow him wherever he may lead. The famous Rough' Rider
regiment that won fame in the Spanish war,-was largely made up young men
,from Arizona. Those boys will be found today first in their greeting to tneir
beloved commander. The Democrat is opposed to Colonel Roosevelt in this
campaign, but our sense of right and justice compels us to say that the man
who appears in our midst today, asking the support of the people of Arizona,
has many qualities in his makeup that endear him to the hearts of the liberty-
loving American people his patriotism, his courage, his indomnitable will, and
his tireless energy, make him a man that has to be Reckoned with. The Dem
ocrat takes off its hat to the Colonel of the Rough Riders, and trusts that time
will deal kindly with hini and his. Arizona Democrat.

RETAIN THEIR RACIAL TYPE
THE CALL OF THE MOOSE
Neither the Vermont election nor the Maine election was prophetic of the
November election.
The people are not ready to answer just yet. A new party entered the
field the other week. In two months much may happen.
That which was so foundly predicted at Baltimore regarding the Demo
cratic party has not yet taken place. Its presidential candidate has not yet
set the nation afire.
The Republican party is a house divided against itself and it is at a low ebb.
As in Maine, where the republican party remained united to defeat the
common enemy, that party reversed the order of two years ago arid achieved
victory; in Vermont, fwhere it was in two camps, it permitted the democratic
party to make gains; but the latter party cannot take the flattering unction
to its soul that New England is thirsting to have Wilson at the White House.
Much must depend on the Roosevelt party. ' Politically, the republic is
in a transitional stage. - If the great body of independentvoters, still undecided,
should come to the conclusion, as if by instinct, that the "third party" and
"third term" candidate are possibilities this year, why, then, the unexpected
may happen and a third party be successful in its first attempt.
Roosevelt and Wilson are at the two poles in temperament, more so than
in platforms, and this is a Vear where personality must count. After all,
we are a nation of hero-worshippers.
THE COLORADO PRIMARIES
The number of voters in Colorado who heeded Colonel Roosevelt's request
to remain away from the primaries is most encouraging. A telegram received
at the New York headquarters announces that the Denver republican vote
two years ago was 16,000, and on Wednesday of this week it was only 4,000.
Throughout the state the vote was only 20 per cent of the normal.
Here are the reports from two polls which reached New York today at
the meeting of the United Confederate Veterans' Union, at Ada, Oklahoma
this was the result: Debt, 1; Taft, 1; Wilson, 6; Roosevelt, 2S0.
The railroad men of Chicago were canvassed in the past week and the
result so far is as follows:
Roosevelt, 214; Wilson, 94; Debs, 79; Taft, 56. . v

arches of an aqueduct or in the shad
ow of an overhanging cliff, is indeed
Spanish because born in Spain, but in
Al else he is a gipsy.
Time was when Spaniards of the

Castllians," or "Egyptians," or "Moor
Ish footpads;" but while their traits
have undergone no change their name
is now definitely gitano3, or gipsies.
Between fifty and sixty thousand is
the number of them now in Spain, says
America. Most of them have no fixed
abode; but in some parts, and no'tably
In Audalusia, there are several small
settlements, for towns they can hardly
