A Republican boom is always
accompanied by an explosion.
Appeal to Reason.
Boss Cox bas put it all over
that imitation boss of Cleveland,
Senator Burton. Cox intimates
that there should be honor even
among thieves
Senator Uristow, the Republi
can insurgent, is after his col
leasrue, Senator Aldrich, the
Standard Oil standpatter and
all-round -worker of politics for
all there is in it. This induces
the Appeal to Reason to inject
a little salt and pepper into the
raw spots.
Uristow, it says, charges Aid-
rich with increasing the tariff
on rubber and then in collusion
withfiuggenheim and Ryan with
organizing the rubber trust, mak
ing his son vice president and
general manager of the concern,
and skinning the people, the
sovereigns and patriots he is
supposed to represent in the
sonate,out of millions of dollars.
The Aldrich gang placed prac
tically a prohibitive tariff on
rubber articles and then raised
domestic prices to suit them
selves, raking in a harvest of
dollars from the fools who shout
for "protection" and vote the
republican ticket to secure it.
Bristow denounces this act of
Aldrich in raising the tariff on
rubber and then organizing the
rubber trust with a capital stock
of forty million of dollars, and
making his son the general man
ager of it, as "a legislative
crime." It is even worse than
Reasons for Questioning His Sanity
By Eugene V. Debs.
A few days ago, according to
reports, three men of national
prominence in the east were dis
cussing Roosevelt. All three
concluded he was insane, a mad
man. Whether they are right
or wrong is not for us to say,
but the evidences are certainly
multiplying that the Sage of
Sagamore is in a bad way. For
instance, in the last issue of the
Outlook, of which he is the re
puted associate editor, Lyman
D. Abbot, reformed preacher,
being the editor in chief, he dis
cusses prize fighting over his
own name. This epistle is cer
tainly self -contradictory enough
to be regarded as the effusion of
a disordered mind. Admitting
that he has been a patron of the
ring, that he has attended a
number of prize fights and en
joyed them, that it is a "manly"
sport, that he numbers some
professional pugs among his
personal friends, he concludes
Democrat
that. It ia highway robbery.
But the people, a large majority
of them, voted for that very
thing and are getting it in hero
ic installments.
Ohio Democratic
State Platform
The platform adopted by the Dem
ocratic convention Is as follows:
The Democrat lo party of Ohle In con
vention assembled, reaffirms Its faith and
devotion to those essential principles ol
Democracy which have ever held the
party together In victory and defoat; Its
unity and confidence after a long series
of reverses In national elections are auf
IV lent attestation to the sincerity of Its
belef.
Ouldsd by these principles the Demo
ertaJo party founded national unity and
prosperity, and established local self'
government for the states and munlot
p anes. They are alike applicable to the
aovemment of the nation and the state.
The comlns; campaign In Ohio for the
elect l m of alate otllceri should and must
be fought on state Issues, and It Is
therefore proper that we declare first
and foremost our position upon these
aueallons of state government In which
the people are most Interested.
We submit to the voters the record

cratic state administration. Every dol

return to the state of the many thou
sand dollats secured by fraud and
wroTij-dolng.
Every agency at his command Is beln
employed to bring to account officers who
were recreant to the trusts reposed In
them by the people.
The governor Is handicapped In tha
task of purifying and Improving the
publics service by the opposition of a ho

begun, but we call on the citizens to
uphold him by electing his assoclatea on
the ticket and a legislature that will

graft. Introducing buslncs methods and
graft the the effectiveness while re
ducing tfce cost of state Institutions and
departments.
Planks In Platform.
We favor a maximum aggregate ta
rate of 10 mills, without any right to
Increase It, except by a vote of the
people.
We favor the fair and Just regulation
of all public utllltes as well as railroads,
with the right of home rule as to Iran
chles, carefuly guarded.
We favor the ratification of the In
come tax amendment of the federal con
stitutlon, which was stifled by the pre
ent Republican legislature.
We demand the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people.
To that end we pledge a Democratic
lepisl iture to take the necessary action
lodl;in? to a convention of the states to
adont the constitutional amendment re-
ouir-.d.
1'ending the campaign for compliance
with the people's demand, ao long denied
by a Republican senate, we promise the
enactment by a Democratic legislature
of a law so far as public s -raiment
will enforce It, providing for the nomina
tion of senators by popular vote at the
regular elections In senatorial years.
We favor:
A uniform school book law.
The principle of the initiative and ref
erendum.
The extension of the teaching of agri
culture.
The promotion of a nonpartisan Judi
ciary by the placing of the names of all
Judicial candidate on a separate ballot
lthout party distinction.
The enactment of legislation limiting
the hours of labor of employed women.
National Affairs.
In national affairs we favor the appll
cation of business methods to the ad
ministration of the federal government
In order to reduce Its enormous and fast
growing expenses, which Involve a waste
now admitted to be J300,C00,0( per year.
We demand the revision of the present
unju-t and oppressive tariff, reducing
rat' s s as to lower the prices Imposed
on consumer; the need or revenue for tne
economical conduct of the government
must be the guiding principle Instead of
the demands of favored Interests. And
the rhlef burden of tariff taxation must
be taken from articles of the cheaper
grades where It is placed by the law of
Payne, Aldrich, Smoot and Cannon, which
lie president approved. The gradual re
ductions in tariff taxation to make It a
means of raising revenue, Instead of an
Instrument of extortion, can not be safe

but should be intrusted to the Demo
cratic party, whose motto Is equal Jus
tice to all without either favors or In
jury to any.
We favor the Immedirte enactment or
the dollar a day pension bill Introduced
and championed In both the Sixtieth and
Sixty-first congreas by that Democratic
veteran. General Isaac R. Sherwood ol
Ohio, and we condemn the arbitrary ac
tion of the speaker of the house and the
administration In refusing to allow thi
beneficent and patriotic measure to come
to a vote In the house of representatives.
We believe in the conservation of ouf
natural resources and we donounce the
administration, and especially Secretary
Eallinger, for dismissing from the public
service tried and true officers whos
only aim was the preservation to thl
people of such resources.
by advocating the suppression
of the game and forbidding even
the pictures of these "'manly"
exhibitions.
Can any one conceive of Lin
coln sending a telegram of con
gratulation to a prize fighter
after he had beaten his opponent
into pulp and matted gore? That
is what Roosevelt did to Bob
Fitzsimmons while he occupied
the executive seat of the nation.
How is this for a "moral ex
ample" by the President of the
United States? And what have
the preachers and purists to say
about it? And what wrould they
not have to say about it had
Roosevelt been a Socialist in
stead of a Republican?
Socialists have been accused
by Roosevelt of having low
morals, but there is not one
among them all whose morals
are so low that he would not not sue in court either civilly or

Astor Fortune Built
From Gustavus Meyers' "Histo
ry of Great American For
tunes." Did the huge Astor fortune
come from the exercise of that
trinity of qualities industry,
thrift and ability?
The Astors own vast areas of
land and buildings in New York
City and elsewhere. The palaces
in which they live in magnifi
cence cover whole blocks, while
not far away as many as from
3,000 to 6,000 poor human beings
are herded in a single block.
The Astors are also large stock
holders in many capitalist "en
terprises." They have an an
nual income about five hundred
times greater than the salary
paid to the President of the
United States.
Droning in idleness and lux-
urv. taeir income more man
equals what 41,000 workingmen
getting an average of $G0O
year, receive lor ayearoi cease
less toil.
The story told in government
and court documents of the
origin oi tins ionune is very
different from the stereotyped
accounts of the eulogists.
The founder of the Astor for
tune was John Jacob Astor
German immigrant who came to
the United States in 1783 with 5
pounds in money, lie died in
1818 leaving a fortune of twenty
million dollars then the great
est in America. How did he
get it?
The records show that he be
came a fur trader, and swindled
the Indians by first getting them
drunk. After he organized the
American Fur company in 1810
he shipped enormous quantities
of whisky out among the Indian
tribes. To sell liquor to an In
dian was a serious crime in law,
But Astor purchased immunity
by bribing .public officials. On
one occasion un lHiniie gave
Lewis Cass a bribe of $35,000.
Who was Cass?
The governor of Michigan ter
ritory in which Astor had one of
his principal trading posts, and
he (Cass) later became secretary
of war the very official who
then had supreme jurisdiction
over Indian affairs.
Astor charged the Indians
from $25 to $50 a gallon for
whisky, payable in furs. The
records show that the Indians
were never allowed to trade
while in a sober state. After
debauching them Wstor would
take further advantage of them
by exchanging cheap merchan
dise at exorbitant prices, for
their furs. He charged, for ex
ample, a dollar and a half for a
brass thimble; $18 for a pound
of tobacco; $30 for an eleven-
dollar rifle; $1 for powder which
cost 20 cents a pound, &c.
Debauched and swindled, and
driven to debt and destitution,
the Indians were forced to re
sort to the only means of re
dress open to them. They could

quently, they had recourse to
primitive force; they often rose

their villages.

Things the Combine Failed to Land
The Indianapolis Sun (insur

crats in congress, with the help
of the insurgent republicans,
prevented "Taft and his advis
ers, which includes Aldrich and
Cannon," from forcing through
the following things that they
wanted done:
The federal incorporation of
trusts.
The ship subsidy bill.
A bill to place the government
of Alaska in the hands of a gov
ernor, taking it out of the hands
of congress.
A bill to increase the postage
rates upon newspapers and mag
azines. A bill for the disposal of coal
lands belonging to the public.

If there is any question in any
body's mind about Warren G.
Harding owing his gubernato
rial nomination to Boss" Cox,
or that Cox controlled the Re
publican State convention, the
Marion Star, Mr. Harding's pa
per, dissipates it in the follow
ing editorial in its day after con
vention issue.
This is what Mr. Harding
said:
"It will be observed that
Mr. Cox has no liking for
what might be termed by the
sporting fraternity, the
double cross."
Then in another editorial
squib in the same issue, Mr.
Harding says:
"It must be said for Mr.
Cox that he certainly has a
great eye for the psycholog
ical moment."
It would therefore seem that
"Mr." Cox, as Editor Harding
calls him, is sincerely appreci
ated by the editorial nominee for
that 91 votes.
It is always unsafe to guess
what ex-President Roosevelt will

any set of circumstances the

men, would indicate that JMr.
Roosevelt will return more of an
