HOWLET. EDITORIAL nENTION. The golden trust color of the New York Democratic State Convention is causing 110 little thought. The Democrats would smash the trusts by wrecking all industries and that would throw practically all labor out of employment. The Democrats declare that the country is dangerously prosperous aiul promise to remove that danger in the event of their success. As usual the Democsatic cam paign committe has to exercise a crpp'i.t. rlpn.l nf nom J" /»«»,/»•■• literature, that which might do good in the East must be kept out of the West, *•* With neither a leader nor an issue the Democracy stillhopesthat tilings may go their way, i, e,. to the bow-wows. They might then have some chance of success. Have the Democrats again scuttl ed and left their paramount issue to ue defeated by others? It begins to look that way. In 1900 the Democratic National Convention declared "the burning issue of im perialism, growing out ofthe Span ish war, involving the very exist ence of the Republic and the de structionof our free institutions we regard as the paramount issue of the campaign." All through the long session of the Congress, from December to July last the Demo cratic Senators discussed little else than thi.-> paramount issue. It mattered not what proposed legis lation was before the Senate. Cra mack and Teller and Culberson and Rawlins and Pctterson and Tillman and other Democratic leaders, hark ed back to the paramount issue and belabored the Administration for destroying our free institutions and converting the Republic of Wash ington and JefFersor intoan Empire with militarism for its chief corner stone. The Congressional Record in thousands of pages bears testi mony to the ardor and industry of the Democratic Senators and Rep resentatives in the cause of anti-in perialism. The Democratic Cam paign Book issued in August also bears testimony that the Democratic party was even at that late day, loyal to their last national platform, for more than 100 pages of that Democratic Bible are given to the discussions of imperialism. But since then something has happened. Che Democrats have again scuttl ed and left their [taramount issue as they did in ifcOft when they turn ed their book on Cleveland',' free trade record and Itegitn to cr\ for five silver, ami in I'.MO when they ti mil to drop il\er for auti-iiiipeial« Imh. The Democratic orator- have llunke ! the j>; -amount i ue and left it to the defense of that little hand of professional mugmumps hejwled by Charles Francis Adams and Carl Schurz. These chronic malcontents are doing what they can to save the Republic and pre vent the crowing of Roosevelt as Emperor, but they have as long been engaged in saving the country from imaginary ills that they no longer are taken seriously even by their friends. But the Democratic orators are silent. They have scuttled from imperialism as though it were an in fectious or contagious disease. They have discovered that there are American soldiers in every part of the country who have been in the Philippines or in Cuba or Porto Rico and that these soldiers have a very direct and even abrupt way of meeting this paramount issue. They issue rests on malicious sland er of the army and the men who have been connected with the Army arc ready to resent that slander. They are no longer soldiers but they are citizen defenders of the honor of the Army and the flag even more zealous of what they fought for than when thcv were lighting. And what is more to the point the men who were soldiers have the con fidence of their neighbors and the general public so that their direct contradictions are enough to over throw any inflamatory statements of professional orators or profession al reformers. Still it is sad to see the Democrats scuttling from their latest issue as they urged the government to scuttle from the Philippines. The party should change its name to that of Scuttle and Skedaddle.

Dear Sir: If you own several houses, your reason for painting Devoe lead and zinc should be several times as strong as the man who owns but one. Lead and oil was good enough paint till the merits of zinc were found out. It was profitable to paint lead and oil it was then— but not now. The addition of zinc to lead makes Devoe lead and zinc last twice as long and cost no more; costs less—a trifle less, not much. Lead and oil is mixed by hand; Devoe lead and zinc by machin ery. Might as well make one,s skirts by hand as mix paints Say it costs SIOO a house a paint lead and oil; and it leats three years. Say it costs thesame for Devoe; which lasts six years—it will last ten years, in favorable conditions, unless you want to repaint to change the color. The costs; lead and oil about S3O a year; Devoe sls—probably less. 83 F. W. DEVOE & Co. P. S.—Murry & Copnersmith sell our paint. Our Brother, George. (To the memory of Geo. H.

VETOED THE EDUCATIONAL BILL He Is Also Charged By Them With Helping to Form the Coal Trust De spite the Protests of Railroad Men. An Article That Is Attracting At tention. (Prom a Special Correspondent.) Washington, Oct. 7. Not only is organized labor in Pennsylvania op posing the election of Robert E. Patti* ion, but laboring men all over the coun try appear to be keeping a very close eye on the outcome of the Pennsylvania campaign. The Itnights of • Labor in particular are fighting Ex-Governor Pattison by every means In their power. The last issue of"The Journal," the official organ of the Knights of Labor, contained a page article from the pen of John W. Hayes, general secretary treasurer of the order. It is a direct attack upon Ex-Governor Pattison for his hostility to laboring men and labor unions while he was governor before. The article goes onto prove that Mr. Pattison is an enemy to popular edu cation as shown in his vetoing of the Compulsory Education Bill when he sat in the executive chair. Mr. Hayes in his article on Pattisoa's hostility to education says: VETOED EDUCATIONAL BILL. "The legislative committee of the or ganization (Knights of Labor) had this matter before it for consideration. A bill was prepared and introduced, juggled with for some time, and altered and amended, but finally passed both houses of the legislature. True it was not all that we desired; but it was a bill that, once a law could be amended from time to time until all that was desired in the way of a good law had been secured. In this, as in all former cases, Pattison was pleaded with to sign the bill as it came from the legis lature. But in this he was obdurate. His interest in having children at the coal breakers instead of in the school room was paramount and he vetoed the bill." The general master workman of the Knights of Labor writing at this time on the action of Governor Pattison said: "If Governor Pattison could have traveled through the state and loitered bj me roa.i-oiue ue might have heard the hiss of the serpent that is coiling itself around children of the poor and fastening its poisonous fangs upon the vitals of the commonwealth. Whether he knew it or not his action pleased those who would make the chil dren of men hewers of wood and draw ers of water until oblivion, which comes only through drink or death, which would ease the strain." In an editorial in"The Journal of the Knights of Labor" the following ap pears: WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING. "Ex-Governor Pattison is again a candidate for governor of Pennsyl vania, and the question of his fitness, his honesty, and his friendship for the cause of the toiler is to be weighed and deckled by the voters, and especially by those voters who are workingmen. When he was last a candidate for the same important office, he had the strong support of organized labor and was elected, and he failed us in our hour of need! "He is the sponsor for the coal trust and was at its baptism, and he probably still favors it in the prolonged strike now proceeding. "Every friend of labor and those who exist by the well doing of the toilers •hould be united in one phalanx against the coal combine. They are united to crush organized labor, and all who love fair play and fair pay must unite against them and those who side with them. FAVORED THE COAL TRUST. "Judging the present by the past, it is fair to assume that Pattison is a side partner of the coal combine, or, at all events, is favorable to it, as he was in 1891-2. He evidently favored the coal barons then, in spite of his oath to sup port the constitution of the state of Pennsylvania, which was nullified when the combine was organized, and the fact was officially called to his at tention. He was furnished with evi dence and maps showing iliat compe tition was being wiped out and the law, which was quoted, evaded and dis obeyed. "President Roosevelt said in an in terview, published in tlie Philadelphia Record, Sept. G, 1902, Hint 'There is a remedy' for the settlement of the great coal strike. This is doubtless true, for the presiuent must be well informed on the legal and political aspect of the strike. What chance would there IK* to end a strike if Pattison was gover nor or one that might occur durln his term of office? If the «oal barons wimt •d to «» former t.< M M.'! HIH ear WH •l.uf to the |»|.
