Mr. Howard's Platform.
Whenever the Democratic party
in county, state or nation does
succeed in uniting upon a state
ment of its principles and policies,
such a statement is usually found
to be made up for the most part of
negations. The Democratic party
does not believe in protection, in
the gold standard, in administra
tive initiative, or in an alert state
department, as the ease may be.
In the present national campaign
the Democratic utterances may be
all boiled down to the following
sentence: "We do not beleive in
Theodore Roosevelt." Upon this
lame negative cry the Democrats
profess to rely for victory.
In contrast to this negative at
titude stands the positive and pro
gressive attitude of Republicanism,
an attitude which finds expression
in Mr. Josiah Howard's platform.
Every word and every note in his
platform aud in his star stands for
something positive. The Inde
pendent raises the objection that,
with the exception of the protect
ive tariff, every one of Mr. How
ard's points might be incorporated
into a statement of Democratic
principles. Regarding the Home,
we admit gladly that good Demo
crats are as loyal to it as are good
Republicans; neither do we claim
a monopoly of interest in churches
and religion for the Republicans.
We believe, too, that the Demo
cratic party in Cameron county is
loyal to our public school system,
and we know some good Demo
crats who are not averse to good
roads or good farming aud who
take an interest occasionally in a
game of ball. Nevertheless, we
believe that all these institutions
and forms of life are more beholden
to the positive, constructive genius
of Republicanism than to the neg
ative, critical genius of Demo
cracy. Though a Demoerat might
heartily accept a platform iike Mr.
Howard's when once it is stated,
it is really hard to conceive of a
Democrat, especially a candidate,
taking the iniative in formulating
such a platform. The public has
greater confidence in the man who
states positively and independent
ly his ideas and convictions than
it has in the man who merely says,
"I do not hold to anything differ
ent from that."
The Independent has changed
its base on the Filipino question.
At the late Democratic county
convention the Independent editor
was posing as the champion of the
poor enslaved islanders. It is
now referring to the Philippines as
"yellow possessions," implying
that this country should keep its
skirts clear of such filth. It must
be embarrassing to (lie Filipinos
not to know certainly whether the
Independent is their friend or not
It is a good thing that Secretary I
Wilson, of the Department of
Agriculture, his returned from his
stumping tour in Vermont and
Maine, and again the helm. He
will proceed to stop the leak in the
monthly cotton and other crop re
ports, whereby some favored per
sons get the news in advance of
the rest of the world, and he is
contemplating the construction <>f
wireless telegraph stations along
the Atlantic coast so that sea cap
tains can tell him what the weather
is on the vasty deep. He reached
Washington 011 Thursday, elated
over the returns from Vermont,
where he says the people were
really alive to the importance of
the campaign. He thinks they
saw danger to prosperity if the
Democrats should win. And lie
says the vote indicates the senti
ment of all New England. The
fanners of Vermont are satisfied,
they have elected twenty members
of their legislature, heretofore
Democratic, to stay at home.
Secretary Wilson says 110 marked
impression was made 011 the Ver
monters by either the Democratic
campaign or the Democratic candi
date. And Mr. Cortelyou remarks
the returns "speak for themselves.
How About the Standard Oil.
"The common law as develop
ed," said Judge Parker in his
speech of acceptance, "affords a
complete legal remedy against
| monopoly.''
Then why have not the courts of
! New York dealt with the Standard
j Oil? It is a monopoly. It does
I business in Xew Yerk. Its head
j quarters are there, "2<> Broadway''
is a pretty familiar address to Me-
I Carren and others running Judge
! Parker's New York campaign.
! The tariff does not help the Stand
! ard < >il. It gets on help from dut
| ies. It has been at work for
twenty years. Its operations are
j free from every check 011 mono-
I poly known to the common law.
Who? Because the common
law has 110 weapon against it.
The Standard Oil is a Xew Jersey
corporation. It makes 110 reports.
It publishes no returns of earnings
or business, weekly, monthly or
j yearly. Its charter gives no share
1 holder power to look into its ac
| counts. Its operations are secret
j under the kindly aid New Jersey
: law offers by changing the common
j law to suit such corporations.
The Standard Oil to-day is a
citadel of $100,000,000 which one
man controls in absolute secrecy
and with irresponsible power. It
is chartered in New Jersey. It
does business in every State. No
State can reach it because it is a
New Jersey corporation. New
Jersey law leaves it free of secrut-
I iny. It can by organizing subsid
' iary corporations keep out of inter
state commerce. Under Judge
Parker's deciaion 011 the Drug
Trust it can by system of agents
maintain prices and crush rivals
in defiance of the various anti-trust
laws, yet passed by Congress and
the States.
The common law is as antiquat
ed in dealing with this corporate
octopus as a cross-bow against an
ironclad. Chartered by one State,
controlled by 110 other, able to
evade all State laws because it is
in interstate commerce and able,
under the "common law," by the
trick of subsidiary corporations to
avoid Federal statues 011 interstate
commerce, the Standard Oil Com
pany has been for twenty years eu
trenclied and safe from all scru
tiny and all control, as long as the
public was fool enough to listen to
men like Judge Parker who say:—
"The common law as developed
affords a complete legal remedy
against monopoly."
Only one thing the Standard Oil
fears: A Federal law requiring
Federal reports of all its opera
tions. The statute creating the
Department of Commerce and
Labor gave this power. It was
opposed by the Standard Oil. Its
head brazenly telegraphed to Sena
tors to forbid its passage. It was
enacted because President Roose
velt's speeches and his policy
brought the passage of the act over
the head of the Standard Oil.
Under it, as reports are made
and the operations of this trust are
laid bare, the Standard Oil faces
something more than the "common
law" Judge Parker invokes. This
trust is safe enough with him as
President, and on every side its
support for him appears. Its head
and all its forces have opposed the
re-election of President Roosevelt
from the hour when he demanded
more than the "common law" to
regulate monopolies like the Stand
ard Oil.—Philadelphia Press.

Healthy Mothers.
Mothers should always keep iu good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight to
see a mother, with babe in arins, cough I
ing violently and exhibiting all the synip- !
totns of it consumptive tendency. And :
why should this dangerous condition ex- ;
ist, dangerous alike to mother and child, ;
when Dr. Boscheo's German Syrup would i
put a stop to it at once? No mother :
should be without this old and tried rem-1
cdy in the house—for its timely use will
promptly cure any lung, throat or bron-1
chial trouble in herself or her children.
The worst cough or cold em be speedily
cured by German Syrup; so can hoarse- j
tiess and congestion of the bronchial
tubes. It makes expectoration easy, and
gives instant relief and refreshing rest to
the cough racked consumptive. New
trial bottles, 2">; large sizj, 75e. At all
diuggists. 10-ly.

Don't pay 81.50 a gallon for Linseed
Oil (worth tilt cents) which you do when
you buy other paints in a can with a
paint label on it.
8 & 0 make 14, therefore when you
want fourteen gallons of paint, buy only
eight of L. & M., and mix six gallons
pure Linseed Oil with it.and thus get
paint at less than 51.20 per gallon.
Many houses are well painted with
four gallons of L. & M., and three gal
ons of Linseed Oil mixed therewith.

Emergency
It is a good convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases of
accident and for slight injuries and ail
ments. A good liniment and one that is
fast becoming a favorite, if not a house
hold necessity is Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. By applying it promptly to a
cut, bruise or burn it allays the pain and
causes the injury to heal in about one
third the time usually required, and as it
is an antiseptic it prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. When Pain Balm is
kept at hand a sprain may be treated be
fore inflamation sets in, which insures a
quick recovery. For sale by L. Taguart.
