1 AM NOT I DEMOCRAT" SITS
Mil. HEARST
The Iroquois club, Sau Francisco used
to be ? crystalization of the sentiment
of a united democratic party in that city.
Recently tha organization asked of Mr.
W. R. Hearst, formerly, as proprietor
of the Kxauiiner, the voice of that
sentiment, for his resignation. His
reply is a spicey and brief review, a
sort of moving picture of the recent
history of the democratic party and
explains why so many democrats,
who want to be democrats, cannot pre
vent the feeling coming over them
that tbey are now without a party.
It is not Jong since Mr. Hearst was re
garded v- being saved from being a
nonenity only by his ability to choose
clever men to run his newspapers for
him so completely was his identity
lost behind their activity, but he has
been guilty of at least uttering from
the platform and placing his signature
under some pretty good stuff lately.
Mr. Hearst says in his letter that he
is both pleased and surprised to receive
the letter of the club? pleaded that he
has been asked to resign, and surprised
to learn that the club is still In
existence.
Hearst continues. "You imply that
I am doc a democrat, and I strongly
suspect that I am not, according to
democratic standards of today. You
imply, further, that you are democrats
and I cannot help wondering what kind
of democrats you think you are. Are
you 1S92 democrats, or 1896 dem
ocrats. or 1900 democrats, or 1904
democrats, or 1908 democrats?
Are you C'leyelaud democrats, believing
in tariff reform that we did not
get, and the military suppression
of labor unions that we did get?
Are you Parker democrats, sup
porting the trusts it they contribute
and opposing them if thev don't ? Are
you Bryan democrats, believing in
free silver sometimes, and in govern*
ment ownership sometimes, and in the
initiative and referendum sometimes?
If you are Bryan Democrats do you
also believe in a Bryan platform that
contains none of these things?
"Friends and ex-brothers of the Iro
quois club, there is no Democratic
party; there is only a Hryau party,
and the folio (vers of that party don't
know when they go to bed at night
what they will be called upon to be
lieve when they wake up in the morn
ing.
"And so I leceivcd your communi
cation with gratification and gratitude.
And so I withdraw from your club with
pleasure, and without the slightest hard
feeling. Good luck and (>od bless you,
and may you be able to keep up with
your mule."
A SONG OF DAY.

Later With Blood-Poison in Leg
?But Both Times the Sufferer's
RELIANCE IN CUTICURA
PROVED WELL-FOUNDED
"About twelve or fifteen years ago,
while living in West Virginia. 1 had a
breaking-out, and it itched and stung so
badly that 1 could not have any peace
because of it. I saw three doctors and
they did not agree on what it was, so
one of them i?ave me something that ho
called medicine, but I called it soda
water. I might just as well have
washed in rain-water. Then I got some
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Resolvent and began to get
bettor right awav. Thev cured me and
I have not been bothered with the itch
ing since, to amount to anything.
Alx>ut two years ago I had la gripiw
and pneumonia which left me with a
pain in my side. Treatment ran it into
my leg, which then swelled and began
to' break out. It got in prettv bad
shape, so I went to a doctor. lie was
afraid it would turn to blood-poison.
I used his medicine but it did no good.
So I sent for another set of the Cuticura
Remedies. I used thein three times
and cured the breaking-out on my leg.
Now 1 won't bo without Cuticura.
