INUHAM, See'y & Trefci. Entered at the Post Office at Laporte, as second-class mail matter. l.rndern of thr Ilemucracr Ke*4 to Mrnd Tbeir l.OKic. Official election returns show that tin-re were 030,000 plutocrats in Illinois Nov. 8. All of tlioiu voted for Roose velt. Some of tlieiu are plutocrats lie cause they own stocks and bonds, oth er) because they had accounts In the savings banks and still others because they were selling corn at 50 cents a bushel and wheat at sl. They were not an inconsiderate lot of men. They did not object to conditions which made them rich. They did not yearn for a change. They were not ungrate ful. They were not dull or slow of un derstanding. With great enthusiasm they voted to continue the national ad ministration under which they Jiad prospered. They did not attribute all their blessings to the -government, but they felt that n change of government was a risk that need not be taken. Mr. Bryan says the election was car ried by the plutocrats. Either we must hold that the 030,000 Itoosevelt voters in Illinois were plutocrats or that tliey were bought by men who had more money than they had. Who was it that had the funds to send out to pur chase 030,000 stalwart voters of the rrairle State? We are not exactly In formed. It could not have been the trusts, because they were not inter ested In the Illinois election. It could not have been the Republican national committee, because It sent little or n« money to Illinois. The Democratic committee conceded tlie state to the Republicans months before the election was held. They did not send a dollar into Illinois to stem the Republican tide, nor did they make a pretense at keep ing the Republicans of Illinois "busy." The state was abandoned by common consent to Roosevelt as not being much better fighting ground than Pennsyl vania. By the way, bow does it hap pen that that state returns so large a Republican majority? Was it also carried by the plutocrats, or did the overwhelming vote In Pennsylvania represent, as In Illinois, only popular sentiment and affection for Republican principles and policies? Visionaries, cranks and lunatics, mar sh.! led by Mr. Bryan and guided by Debs. Watson, Harrow and their like, will have a lot of trouble In explaining how the Republican vote piled up in states where It was not needed nor ex pected and where it could not have been influenced by monetary considera tions. The radicals are weak, too, when they suggest that the adoption of poli cies or theories of government directly antagonistic to those which triumphed in the late election will result in Dem ocratic success. There Is no sense in saying that because Roosevelt was elected as the representative of certain principles the advocacy of principles utterly repugnant to those which he stood for will bring nbout Democratic victory. The leaders of the disheveled Democ racy need to mend their logic as well as their manners. How they can argue with a show of reason that extreme radical doctrines will win where mild er doctrines failed no fellow at the present writing can even attempt to lind out.—Chicago Tribune. NO DEMOCRATIC EDEN. I'rayer the Only Itecnnme of Dla- Knuted Mimiotirlana. Residents of Dunklin and Pemiscot counties, down in the Missouri "pock et." are petitioning the legislature to transfer those counties to Arkansas. They say that since Missouri has gone Republican they "cannot without shame acknowledge residence therein." The personal feelings of the petition ers need not be discussed. But would their desire to get into a state that would never go Republican tie realized by granting their request? The general impression is that It would, but the news from Little Rock raises harrow ing doubts. I.ittie Rock dispatches assert that Arkansas did go Democratic, but they omit to give figures. And strange sto ries are coming from Little Rock to the effect that the returns have been locked and barred from sight. Ilence an Inevitable suspicion that even Arkansas may not be so unani mously Democratic as supposed; hence a distressing possibility that the Mis sourlans, ashamed of Republican Mis souri, might not find in Arkansas the Democratic Eden for which their souls yearn. All things are possible, even that Arkansas might some day go Repub lican. Then tbe refugee Mlssourians would again feel themselves strangers upon an alien soil, giving no rest to the soles of their Democratic feet. The yearning of a certain kind of Democrats for a Democratic Eden is intelligible, but vain. There is no such happy spot on this mutable mundane sphere. The best its seekers can do is fervently to pray that their mansions In the skies may be solidly Democratic. —Chicago Inter Ocean.
