Democraticparty to state its creed
in the concrete and define clearly
the especial forms of “privilege”
it declares against in a gene
ral campaign ‘ ‘for the rights of
of the people, ” Gov. Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey in an ad
dress to the National League of
of Democratic Clubs set forth
the objects of the party as he
sees them.
Gov. Wilson said in part:
“Democracy is not a me^e
theory of government. It is an
energy of life dwelling in the
rank and file, interpreted once
and again by great leaders, but
not confined to their private cult
and understanding. Its blood is
the blood of the people. Its pur
poses are the purposes shared by
all mankind. Its hopes are the
hopes of all rational civilization.
“This is the day upon which
we utter our creed and renew our
views. It behooves us to ask
ourselves what our creed is, and
to answer the question without
subtlety or sophistication, in the
plain terms of everyday life. We
must state our creed in the con
crete, not in the abstract. Our
thoughts run back, of course, to
the great Declaration of Inde
pendence which Jefferson gave
us, but we cannnot stop with
that. The Delaration of Inde
pendence did not mention the
questions of our day.
mere starting point
thoughts.
“We say that we are against
privilege as We now fight it we
mean controll of the law, of leg
islation and of adjudication, by
organizations which do not repre
sent the people, by means which
are private and selfish and
worthy of all condemnation. We
mean specifically the conduct of
our affairs and the shaping of
our legislation in the interest of
special bodies of capital and those
who organize their use. We
mean the alliance for this pur
pose of political machines with
the captains of organized indus
try. We mean the exploitation
of the people by legal and politi
cal means. We have seen our
governments under these in
fluences cease to be representa
tive of the special interests, con
trolled by machines, which in
their turn are not controlled by
the people.
Open Committee Room
“We are not attacking men we
are attacking a system. The
men are most of them, honest.
The great majority believe that in
serving their own they are serv
ing the interests of the country
at large.
“They are serving, served and
the floors of our assemblies. It
is on the contrary framed, diges
ted and concluded in the commit
tee rooms. It is in committee
rooms that legislation not de
sired by the interest dies. It is
in committee rooms that legisla
tion desired by the interest is
framed and brought forth. There
is not enough debate in the open
house; in moat cases to discover
the real meaning of the proposals
made. Clauses lie quietly undis
covered in our ‘statutes which
contain the whole gist and pur
pose of the act [qualifying phrases
which escape the public atten
tion and casual definitions which
do not attract attention classifi
cations so technical as not to be
generally understood and which
everyone rr.03t intimately con
cerned is careful not to explain or
expound, contain the whole pur
pose of the law. Only after it
has been enacted and has come
to adjudication in the courts
is its scheme as a whole divulged.
The beneficiaries are then safe
behind their bulwarks.
Outrageous Tariff Law.
‘ ‘Of course the chief triump of
committee work, of covert phrase
and unexplained classification is
the tariff law. Ever syice the
passage of the outrageous Payne-
Aldrich tariff law our people have
been discovering the concealed
It is a meanings and purposes which lay
for our hidden in it. They are discover
ing i;em by item how deeply and
deliberately they were deceived
and cheoted.' This did not hap
pen by accident; it came about by
design by elaborated, secret de
sign. Questions put upon the floor
in the House and Senate were not
frankly or truely answered and
an elaborated piece of legislation
was foisted on the country which
Cairo High School
Wins From Whigham.
The Cairo High School boys won
their first game of the season last
Friday afternoon from Whigham.
Guy Lang, for the school boys,
pitched a fine game and not a run
was scored until the ninth, and not
whole country.
“Hence our objects as a party.
I take these objects to be to open
all the processes of politics, to
open them wide to p lblic view,
to make them accessible to every
force that moves, every opinion

pitcher the boys .would have put
the whitewash on those Whigham
boys, but Guy says he hated to shut
them out without u run so he let
two men come in. All the school
hoys played first class hall and
batted the Whigham pitchers out of
the box. Knox Barrow, the “kid
catcher,” caught a sporty game
behing the bat and cut a couple of
men off at second in fine style. The
