The People's Day Is Coming
Sometimes it seems that the politicians are as a class the most stupid
of our citizens.
In the republican party we see the politicians trying to saddle Taft on to
the party against the plain and obvious will of the people.
And now in the democratic party, they are combining to beat Woodrow
Wilson, the man who would give any republican nominee who may be named
the hardest run of any democrat in public life today.
To win in November should be easy for the democrats. They have
such an opportunity as they have not had since Cleveland's time.
And if they left it to the people, the mass of the democratic party would
undoubtedly prefer Wilson to Clark, Harmon, Underwood, or any of the rest.
This is on the assumption that William Jennings Bryan is not in the
race.
But the politicians in the democratic party can see nothing in democ
racy's great opportunity but personal politics. Clark won in this state, and
for this the progressive democrats can thank Go<\ Hay and his primary
convention system, which gave the politicians full sway.
The delegates from New York, Connecticut, Indiana and several other
big states are either uninstructod, or instructed for "favorite sons," whom
the democratic bosses have no intention of supporting.
Murphy in New York, Taggart in Indiana, and their kind will put
those delegates where they can do most good—for themselves, to-wit: the
bosses.
Just politics.
One result of it all —or rather two—one obvious, the other a distinct
possibility, stand out.
First —that a compromise candidate may be named in both parties—
some man to whom neither the people nor Wall street will too strongly ob
ject. It might be Clark in the democratic party. Clark is a progressive
who ia afraid to commit himself on the initiative, the referendum or the re
call, three fundamental planks in the people's government. He wears a
slouch hat and has the externals of the plain people, yet he's a politician in
whom the Big Interests who are seeking to control the present election have
begun to show an unwonted confidence, and who has the reputation among
politicians of "staying hitched."
And so the politicians are moving around the pawns, the Clarks, the
Underwoods, the Marshalls back and forth till they decide what final position
will be best for themselves.
Some day—and this is the second result to come out of the present situ
ation, the people will vote direct for president. And they won't vote for trim
mers in either part}', nor for men who will promise so many judgeships,
marshalships and postoffices to this state boss and that in order to be presi
dent.
The people's day is coming. And the blind, stupid bosses who are try
ing to block the people's progress are doing their best to help it aloug—by
their very stupidity.

Tacoma Breaks All Piano Buying Records!
And little wonder! Every home in Tacoma is going to have a piano "some day," of course, for no home is complete
without one. But, this new, broad, big and easy plan is going to cut off ten years of weary waiting in scores of cases. Who
would ever miss a dollar a week? ! *
Think how much brighter and happier home will be when you add music. What a wonderful opportunity for enjoy
ment and education this plan opens! A dollar a week! • '!'"; ' . ||J
It developed that our teams couldn't keep pace with the demands of the shipping department and we had to press three
extra wagons into service yesterday! And it looks now as though we would not have enough pianos to go around.

The industrial cannibals '■who
subsist upon child labor wilfe get
a blistering this year. TIW bo
clalist party, which meets il In
dianapolis May 12, will maki the
child labor question one o its
principal issues this year.
Investigations have been (t 'ct-
ly carried on in the southern' cot
ton mills, in New England, N>w
York, Chicago and other n icea
relating to women and all rl
labor, and some sensational s ate
ments will be made, including the
miming of some eminently r»
spectable hypocrites who fi ten'
on the toil of mere infants.

Oh, then the one wonder comts to

Beyond the lifeting skies.

That wakes In Paradiso!

Our childhood in Its love
And watched above us while we

"Five minutes to one."
"How can you fix the time so

People who sire between the
devil and the deep sea can't swim
much.
In New York, for example, in
a canvass which included about
550 children tollers it was found
that 4 0 per cent were 10 years
old or less. There were 41 little
ones who were only 7 years old,
21 who were 5 and four but 3
years old. They had to help older
ones in order to earn money to
pay landlords and food monnc%o
llstd.
In southern catton mills chil
dren are compelled to work night
as well as day shifts of 12 hours.
If they fall asleep at night cold
water is dashed into their faces
to keep them awake.
TODAY IN HISTORY
May 10, 186S, a troop of Union
cavalry were unpleasantly rude to
a man they
found near Ir
by name Jeffer
son Davis, pres
ident of I lie
C on fc d crate
State* of Amer
ica—while they
lasted. The
United States
army does not
always keep Its
promises, for
Union soldiers
had been tramp
ing over the southland singing,
"We'll hang Jeff Davis to a sour
apple tree" —but they didn't.
Still, after four years of such war,
one can't blame 'em for getting
to a point where even a hanging
on a sour-apple tree did not offer
much diversion.
