DIVISIONS IN DEMOCRACY.
The Conflict Between the New and
the Old Is Fiercer Than
Ever Before.
The New York and Chicago Jefferson
day gatherings bring again to the front
the divisions in the democratic party.
Ex-Candidate Parker, in the New York
assemblage, condemned "new fads,"
meaning, of course, the things for which
ex-Candidate Bryan, Mayor Dunne and
other democrats stand. He also em
phatically opposed "centralization by
the federal government." which is one of
the things that the other two gentlemen
advocate, says the St. Louis Globe-Dem
ocrat. Mr. Bryan, at the Chicago din
ner, spoke in favor of the ownership of
the great trunk lines of railway by the
federal government, anil that of the lo
cal lines by the various states. In tlie
same tenor spoke Mayor Dunne, who has
the advantage of winning a victory on
this public ownership idea in its pre
liminary phase. "I am glad that in the
city of Chicago," said Mr. Bryan, "the
democratic platform was broad enough
to include not only the public ownership
of street car lines, but the public owner
ship of lighting plants and telephone
systems."
Here is the irrepressible conflict be
tween the old and the new democracy.
The new democracy controlled the party
campaigns of 1890 aim 1900. nominated
its ticket and framed its platform. It
was beaten badly at the polls.. The old
democracy rallied in 1904. chose the can
didate and dictated the platform. Its
defeat at the polls was more overwhelm
ing than the other faction encountered
in the preceding canvasses. There was
a gulf between the democratic factions
in all those campaigns. The gulf is
broader now than it has been at any
previous time. Such differences as were
shown between the Parker and the Bry
an idea at the Jefferson banquets of 1905
are fundamental. One wants the federal
government to interfere with public
activities less than it does now. The
other wants it to take charge of other
and larger activities. There is no
chance for compromise or accommoda
tion here. If either of these ideas is
real democracy, the other must be
something witiely different. N'o party
can put the Parker and the Bryan ideas
on the same banner or in the same plat
form at the same time. One must nec
essarily exclude the other. One or other
element must be in the ascendant in the
! party, and control its machinery and
name its candidates.
Which faction of the democracy will
give the law to the party in 1908? The
Bryan and Dunne element undoubtedly.
They represent the younger, the more
virile and the more active section of the
party. Three fourths or the ardent, en
ergetic, forceful spirits in the democ
racy stand behind the Nebraskan and
the Chicago mayor. Present indications
point to the nomination of Bryan three
years hence. Other men may come to
the front in ..he interval who may have
more attractions for the democracy than
are offered by its old leader, but the
Bryan idea is sure to prevail in its na
tional convention. The radical section
of the party will be supreme. That
2,500,000 of an adverse plurality will
shut out the conservative section of the
party from the control of conventions in
the near future. The Cleveland-Parker
element has had its day, and the other
side must now be allowed to take its
turn at the front. Chicago and New
York, in their Jefferson banquets, repre
sent the two diametrically opposite
schools into which the democracy is di
vided. The line of separation is as broad
ly marked as that which asserted itself
| in the Charleston convention 45 years
! ago. with the important difference that,
the democracy lacks the tremendous
momentum and prestige which it pos
sessed then. He would be a bold man
who would fix any date in the future —
! 1912,1910 or any other time —when there
would be a prospect for the democratic
I party to secure the support of a major
! ity of the American people.

REORGANIZATION BY BRYAN
An Alluring Programme Laid Out by
the Self-Constituted Dem
ocratic Leader.
Soon after poor Parker's nomination
in St. Louis last summer William J.
Uryan said that he would start out. im
mediately after the election, to reorgan
ize the democratic uarty on democratic
lines, whether the St. Louis ticket were
elected or not. Mr. Bryan has evidently
made his start, says the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat. He appeals to every demo
crat to send him. on a blank which he
has prepared, a pledge to attend every
primary between now and the meeting
of the national convention in 1908, the
individual voter to work at each primary
for what he calls democratic ideas. In
this way Mr. Bryan hopes to get a pretty
good knowledge of democratic senti
ment on every issue before the country.
This is an alluring programme. If
any considerable number of democrats
,lo what Mr. Bryan wants, and keeps
nim informed of their wishes, he will
know where the democratic party
stands by the next campaign. One of
the many blunders of the St. Louis na
tional convention of 1904 was that it
did not know what the masses of tl;e
democracy wanted. It put up the weak
est candidate it could have selected had
it made a thorough search of the entire
country. The strongest candidate it
could have named would have been
badly beaten at the polls, but the beating
would not have gone quite so far into
the dizzy heights of arithmetic as did
that of the unfortunate person who was
selected.
Mr. Bryan is immeasurably the
strongest man in the democratic party.
There is not likely to be any doubt on
this point, even among the Cleveland
ites. From present indications he will
be nominated in 1908. The masses of
the democracy are with him. His can
didacy may drive Cleveland to cast a re
publican ballot in that year, as he did
in 1890 and 1900, but this will not alter
the fact that Bryan lias the affection of
the democratic rank and file to an ex
tent not approached by any other man
in the country. His plan to find out
what the democratic voters want, and
then to give it to them, is good. The
democratic party needs reorganizing,
and the man to do it has started out on
that work. The republicans and demo
crats who have been writing the ex-can
didate's obituary will be called upon to
add a pretty lively chapter to it a little
over three years hence. William J. Bry
an will never be president of the United
States, but he is a personage with whom
the republican party will have to reckon
in 1908.
TARIFF DISTURBANCES.
Strong Reasons for Discouraging Any ,
More in the Direction of
Revision.
The tariff is a complicated arrange- !
ment requiring great skill and states- j
manship. It was framed after a thor
ough study of the industrial situation
by men of large experience and pru
dence. It cannot be safely unmade or
taken to pieces and put together except j
under similar conditions, says the Bal- j
timore American. A local demand here j
or there, which may be reversed a ;
year hence, is not sufficient basis for |
revision. It was impossible, from the ]
diversity of interests, to avoid minor
injustices, and the changes occasioned
by time may once in a while work tem
porary injury; but the tariff is not a
local, but a national, policy, and must
be judged by its general advantages.
If it were possible for congress to con
sider the law and correct the slight
evils complained of without altering
the policy of impairing its strength, it
might be a wise thing to do, but ex
perience has shown that is very nearly
impossible. If once a campaign of re- !
vision were entered upon no one could
foretell where it would end, and the j
last state of the law might be very
much worse than the first.
There is another thing to be consid- 1
pred in connection with the matter, j
Congress will have before it some very '
important questions. They may not !
be the most serious problems that ever
confronted a legislative body, but they |
will be quite serious enough. There ;
will be more than one of them. Th''
great parliamentary bodies of the
world have found it exceedingly diffi
cult to dispose of more than one great
question at a single session. Each one
of them is of more importance than
tariff revision. Were the tariff ques
tion once taken up. it. would probably I
in one way or another consume all of
the time at the disposal of congress, j
while an agitation would be precipitat- j
ed throughout the union, while now
there is complete acquiescence as well
as phenomenal prosperity.
IC'Back to the people," says Mr.
Bryan. That's just where the voters I
have sent him on two notable occa I
sions.—Baltimore Sun.
K?Some years ago Kentucky would
have thought at least twice before ac
cording an ovation to a republican
president.—Washington Star.

own defeat last fall was "easy tp fore '
see," showing that his hindsight is in
excellent working order, anyhow.—
Kansas City Star.

sistence that "we must struggle out of
the treacherous bogs of policy and get
back to the solid ground of principle"
lies our hope of less mud slinging in
politics?—lndianapolis News (Ind.).

"IT SAVED MY LIFE"
PRAISE FOR i FAMOUS MEDICINE
Mrs. Willsdsen Tells How She Tried Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Just
in Time.
Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning,
lowa, writes to Mrs. i'inkham:
Dear Mrs. I'intham :
" I can truly say that you have saved my
life, and I caimut express my gratitude to
you in words.
"Before I wrote to you, telling you how 1 i
felt, I had doctored for over two years steady
and spent lots of money on medicines besides,
but it all failed to help me. My monthly p».
riods had ceased and I suffered much pain,
with fainting spells, headache, backache and
bearing-down pains, and I was so weak I
could hardly keep around. As a last resort
I decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and 1 am so
thankful that I did, for after following your
instructions, which you sent me free of all
charge, my monthly periods started ; I ain
regular and in perfect health. Had It not
been for you I would be in my grave to-dav.
" I sincerely trust that this letter may lead
every suffering woman in the country to
write you for help as I did."
When women are troubled with Ir
regular or painful menstruation, weak
ness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ul
ceration of the womb, that bearing
down feeling, inflammation of the ova
ries, backache, flatulence, general de
bility, indigestion andnercous prostra
tion, they should remember there is
one tried and true remedy. Lydia E,
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once
removes such troubles.
Nootlier female medicine in the world
has received such widespread and un
qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub
stitutes.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has guided
thousands to health. Address, Lynn,
Mass.
None Left to Chloroform.
"Shall we chloroform the old folks of
the next generation?" a.skcd the bage of
Plunkville.
"If cigarettes nn' tight lacin' keep their
present holts on the respective sexes," re- i
torted the Pohick philosopher, then
ain't goin' to he no old folks in the next
j generation."—Pittsburg Post.
There are some of us who have lived
in daily expectation of the unexpected so
j long that we have begun to suspect that
it doesn't happen near as always us peo
ple seem to think. —Puck.
Progress would be even more rapid than
it is it we were all as anxious to earn all
the money we get as we are to get all tu«
money we earn.-—Puck.
For Growing Girls.
West Pembroke, Me., March 21. —Mrs. j
A. L. Snuth, of this place, says that J
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy !
; for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emijlia- j
; sizes her recommendation by the follow- j
| ing experience:
I "My daughter was thirteen years old j
last November, and it is now two years |
since she was firgt taken with Crazy j
Spells that would last a week and would
then pass off. In a month she would j
have the spells again. At these times j
she would eat very little, and was very I
yellow, even the whites of her eyes would
be yellow.
"The doctois gave us no encourage- j
ment, they all said they could not help j
her. After taking one box of Dodd's j
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad |
spell. Of course, we continued the treat
ment until she had used in all about a !
dozen boxes, and we still give them to j
her occasionally, when she is not feeling ,
well. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly j
the best medicine for growing girls."
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may ;
save their daughters much pain and sick- j
ness and ensure a healthy, happy future !
| for them.
