April has shown a spirit so fitful, so persistently March and February like, that we had
almost become pessimistic when it came to the question of sunshine.
Yesterday, with its rain, rain, rain, set us to thinking. We planned things that nothing
less than an ice storm would keep you from coming for—Embroidery sale, Linen and
White Goods sale, Silk sale, Black Dress Goods sale, a sale of Men’s, Women’s and Chil
dren’s Underwear and Hosiery, a Suit sale, a Waist sale, Undermuslins, and a half dozen more.
Every department in the house was called upon to do something very much out of the
ordinary. And today the sun is shining—indications are it will shine Wednesday—
But we are so glad to see it that we are going right ahead with our plans with ho
change. You’ll find the details of one sale or another on nearly every page today.
If the sun shines, so much the better; if the weather plays us false again, we’ll still have the satisfaction of
knowing that every one who responds will be fully rewarded.

WATTERSON NO PROPHET,
SAYS WILLIS J. ABBOTT
By WILLI8 J. ABBOTT.
Washington, April Xl.-r-The two plat
forms which most Interest student! of
public affairs are the one adopted In
Georgia upon which Hoke Smith ran
for governor and was elected, and the
one upon which Mr, Stephenson, of
Wisconsin, ha* become ,n candidate for
senator from that atate. They preach
the earns doctrines.
Mr. Stephenson, of Wisconsin, Re
publican, want, a prompt and thorough
revision of all tariff schedule.; act, too,
doea Hoke Smith, Democrat, of Georgia.
Mr. Smith denounces the Hlltnrice be
tween "the great trun.pnrtntlon compa.
nles" and the public official, elected to
serve th* public.
Mr. Stephen.on doe. not dl.cu.. the
auction of the right or the power of
public officials to serve private Inter-
esta but he does demand, and make*
his campaign upon, these issues:
Istuee of Hie Campaign.
Legislation authorising the Interstate
commerce commission to ascertain the
true value of railroad property.
Strengthening the Sherman anti
trust law so as to deter property Inter
ests from combining In violation there
of.
The election of United States sena
tor* by direct vote of the people.
The Income lax. ,
An Inheritance tax.
An effective child labor law.
Opposition to ship subsidy and to all
other forme of direct government boun
ty.
That Is a Republican platform in
Wisconsin. There are few Democrats
In this land who would not accept It aa
a Democratic platform.
Platform in Georgia.
There come* also the Georgia plat
form. which demands that the party
machinery should be purged of men
serving corporation*. It denounces tho
E ractlc* of corporations making contri-
utlona to campaign funds and de
mands the enactment of laws to make
■uch contributions criminal. It de
nounces the watering of railroad slocks
and frankly declares that to be the rea.
•on for excessive freight rates.
It euys. speaking for the people of
Georgia, that “they are entitled to just
rates from the carriers, and no rate*
can bo just that ara higher than the
rates granted the people In surrounding
states under similar conditions.” No
one can read the brief summaries of
these two platforms without seeing that
the Wisconsin Republican and the Geor
gia Democrat are working along nearly
th* same lines.
“Roosevelt Is Not Demooretlo.”
Rome people think and say that Mr.
Roosevelt, loo, la working along Demo
cratic lines. The men who so believe
have been overcome by the Roosevelt
superstition In this country. Nothing
that Is Democratic appeals to him.
Nothing that stands for the government
of the people does he stand for. He
has occasionally adopted some Demo
cratic suggestions and after emasculat
ing It fofeed It Into a law. But the
Democrats don't stand for the ship
subsidy bill and he Is for It at all
times. Democracy does not stand for
Imperialism In government, yet he does
—and you don't have to go out of the
city of Washington to And how Imperial
and autocratic this government has be
come. You might ask the newspaper
men who formerly had the entree to
nil the departments, but who now are
barred out unless they bring, like a
man at a theater door, a card of en
trance. You nltght ask the men who
have been driven away from the front
door of tho white house to which they
have had entrance since the time of
Abraham Lincoln and before, what they
think about the Russian autocracy
wMch 1s now being established In th*
city of Washington.
President Roosevelt aa a ruler Is
masterful; as a social potentate, dom
inant; ae a Republican politician, prob
ably the ablest since Mark Hanna; but
when one speaks of him as a Democrat,
the speaker knows neither what the
Democratic party means and stands for
nor what the word "Democracy,” en
tirely disassociated from Its partisan
sense, slgtfffles. He Is an autocrat pure
and simple, and Washington has never
known so autocratic tin administration.

a person named Grover Cleveland were
