LETTING THE PEOPLE RULC.
All will remember that one oI the democratic cam-
paign slogans In tho lust presidential campaign was "Let
the People Rule." The democratic party everywhere pro-
claimed that, with deuux-rattlc success in the election.
there would be installed government "of, for and by tho
people."
Almost overy day of the year there is presented evi-
dence lhat the promise made by the democratic party is
beliii? fulfilled by ihoso who have been entrusted with
the higher official pofcltionti In the goiernment, from the
president and his cabinet to the members of congress and
In the various departments at Washington.
Democracy baa Kc pt the faith
One of the flrfct acta of the new regime was to drive
from tho national enpitil the insidious lobby that, en.
trenched by a loin; reign of special privilege, had year

Tile best evidence nt hand as given before tho cor-
poration commission is that on the basis of foreign oil
prices, Mid-Continent oil should be bringing $1.50 per
barrel.
Every barrel Hint the Standard taken.out of this field
nets it much more tliun that. Probably more than twice
that amount.
Every move made in th way of extra and useless
drilling of glutting the market iu tills field and forcing
down the price the Standard Oil company has been
primarily responsible for. It sells Its oil In the form of
refined products and their price Is not affected by a drop
in the price of crude. The Standard has everything to
gain and nothing to lose by forcing present conditions.
This has been done deliberately through its extensive
publicity and other departments.
There is only one way to ever got anything like jus- j
tlce in this field and lhat Is to put-the Standard out of
tho producing business and make of its lines common '
carriers at e decent rate. Temporizing will rccomplish
nothing, .lust so long as the Standard Is allowed to be;
the main factor in tho oil business, just so long it will
rteal the larger i art of everything produced In the field

few and defeat legislation intended to benefit the mass.
With the term of tho president not half over, and
with yet another session ol congiess to come, the party
lias already enacted into law nearly all of tho remedial
measures promised during the hist campaign. It proudly
calls attention to a mairvelous record of performance not
equalled by any party In the same kngth of time during
all our history as u ropubllc.
The party has v. Iped out practitcally every vestige
of tho old war tariff. Tho democratitc party kept its
promlso literally by revising the tariff schedules down-
ward.
It has enacted into law efficient Income tax regula-
tions, compelling the rich to bear their fair share of the
burden of running the government.
It has effected the currency reform demanded by
present day conditions and now Is establishing the new
federal banking ey t( ill, and hank panics, under its bene-
ficent operation, now are a tiling of the past.

government to protect financial pirates of Wall street

hemisphere has been routed forever.
The democratic party has re-established .111 Ameri-

subsidy plan.
It has taken tho proper steps toward opening up the
vast resources of Alaska.
It hits mad" effective'the popular \ote for United

It lias averted great railway strikes by arbitration.
It has destroyed the telegraph and telephoue trusts.
It lias made possible an efficient parcel post law,

It has wiped out the deficit of tho postal depart-
ment and lias made that department self-sustaining.
It has made effectual and possible trust dissolutions.

nro enacted along democratic lines; they are based on
the golden rule. When they all are in operation compe-
tition will return and business will flourish in normal
conditions. Honest business methods will prevail and
the poor man—the man of small capital—in business will
have a chance. So-called "holding companies" will go
out of business and the inlaraous "interlocking-Uirector-

Truly under democratic rule this country has enter-
ed upon a new era.
practically all pantomiming. where
that of tho ancient clown used to be
composed of Hinging, reciting and telling
Jokes, at which time no ether act worked
in the big show.
The change In U.- clown's method of
work Is the logical result of shifting con-
ditions In the circus world. In other ilayp
when one ring sufficed, the tent was
necessarily .mall, a fact which permitted
the clown to be distinctly heard from any
point under the canvas. At that time
one act was quite enough for such a lim-
ited audience. And the clown being
obliged to contribute his share to the
program happily hit upon the pleasinp
and successful idea of singing, joking
and reciting.
In the, shifting scenes of time the
country became more populated. The
circus proprietor enlarged the big tent.
Then a second ring was added and final-
ly a third together with a couple of
stages and an enormous hippodrome
track. Acts were placed In these rings
111 tho hlpporodme track and In the aeria'
enclave above that alt mightViave a good
view. The clown found that he could not
make his voice bo heard In so large an
area so he resorted to pantomime or
dumb acting. The modern day clowr
does a work, yet he is one of the mot?
pleasing features of the big show.
There are more than 50 clowns with
Magcnh.i k-Wallaco circus. There are
clowns with one, two and three humps.
There are clowns who Impersonate police-
men, prize fighters, baseball players,
fanners, etc. There aro six French
clowns headed by the immortal Marcellne

TO CELEBRATE HOME RULE.
NKW YORK, .Sept. 30.—A meeting of
the t'nited Irish league Is beins held In
tills city today, for the purpose of cele-
brating the triumph of home rule for Ire-
all over the United States
I . -ver the success of their
struggle, and John E. Redmond Is being
nailed as one of the world's greatest
statesmen. Representative Irishmen from
all parts of the country and Canada are
attending this meeting and great prep-
arations have been made by the various
Irish organizations to celebrate this event.
A correct Idea of n man up against a lough proposi-
tion can be gained from tho situation of 1'aderewskl, the
great pianist. At his palace in Switzerland are 44 peo-
ple, mostly great musicians and Bingcra penned up there
on account of the v ar. Any person who has ever seen
a poor, lone ordinary musician in a tantrum may form
some idea of how lovely a time 44 celebrities would havo

MAIL ORDER SEARS DIES.
CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—Richard W. Sears,
founder of Sears-Roebuck & Co., of Chi-
cago. who died yesterday at his summer
home near Waukesha, Wis., left a for-
tune estimated at $25,000,000, It was
learned today.
Mr. **ears, according to business asso-
ciates, was the originator of the mail
order enterprlss. He began his business
career in 1884, while working as a rall-
road telegraph operator, making a pur-
chase of a dozen watches. He was then
21 years old and retired at the age of 46.
He was 61 years old at his death.

•late that there was no betting on races there at nil.
The Tulsa vice organs as such organs are ready to lie
nbont anything or any body to further their ends; report-
ed betting on the races and that Governor Crt ce knew
iibout and approved of it.
When these things were reported by tho Tulsa vice
organs the fact that they were so reported did not lend
any one to believe the report, aa It was apparent that
the wish was father to the thought.
Betting on races in Oklahoma must go in Tulsa us
in every other city. Oklahoma City is not closed as light
ns Tulsa or as tight as it should be and as It will be.
Democratic platforms, stat0 and local, stand
son; thing. They all call for elimination or gambling and ! hl^old Umo pep.
it will be done everywhere In the state. Vice organs like
Son will have to get some other kind of graft.
Publicity is cue of the main weapons of the Wilson
administration in its fight against monopoly and Its
many-sided practices. "Let the people know" is a safe
policy.
It is a little bit risky tc get so interested hi the war
news that you will let yourself read an artltcle headed
"Carnegie" just because it looks like carnage.

4- AMERICAN ROAD CONGRESS. -6-
O ❖
'Overtopping all other road problems
in its importance is that of maintenance,"
says Logan Waller Page, director of the
IT. y. office of publis roads und president
the American highway association.
"The destructive agencies of traffic and
elements are unceasing in their activ-
ities and it is idle talk of permanent
ads any more than to speak of a hpuse,
a fence, or a railroad tie as permanent,"
3 Mr. Page. "The public roads today,
by reason of the exceptionally destructive
traffic conditions, are more costly in
construction and this is continually in-
creasing with the advance in the prices of
labor and material. It is criminally
wasteful, therefore, to mvest large sums
of public money in building the high-
ways demanded by traffic, unless the in-
estment is conserved by adequate main-
tenance. Without such adequate main-
tenance a road costing anywhere from
$o,000 to $15,000 per mile may go to ruin
in a year or two thus involving a perma-
nent loss of considerable magnitude.
When it is considered that the ag-
gregate expenditure on roads in the Uni-
ted States is well over $200,000,000 an-
nually, the seriousness ot the question is
apparent. I look to the conference of
highway officials which will be held dur-
ing the fourth American road congress,
hich meets in Atlanta, Ga., on November
9, to devote much attention to road main-
tenance, and that the accumulative moral
ffeet of their findings will go far towards
bringing legislatures and county boards
a realization of the necessity for
prompt and efficient action." The roads
should be classified and suitable main-
tenance. in organization and money, pro-
vided acoerding to the importance of the
representative classes of roads."
One of the questions which the congress
will discuss is that relating to the re-
vision of toad laws. A complete compila-
tion of the road laws of all the states
will be available for the session devoted
to legislation and It is expected that in
outlining bases for revision, maintenance
will be given particular attention.
CHICAGO. Sept. 30.—Under the lead-
ership of Eugene W. Chafin, twice pro-
hibition candidate for president, the
"flying squadron of America" began a
nation-wide campaign for prohlb'tion to-
day with Peoria, 111., the scene *of the
first demonstration. Approximately 160
cities, including all state capitals und
the national capital will be visited by
tho tempcrancc workers.
J. Frank Hanly, former governor of
Indiana, and several other men who
have been prom nent politically, as well
as a number identified with church
organizations, are members of the party.
The squadron however, is declared to be
affiliated with no political party or or-
ganization, but to be working to uphold
the hands of whoever has declared for
prohibition.
