A SOUTHERN member of Congress says that
the red bandana is going to make large num-
bers of negroes vote the Democratic ticket this
fall, as they all use the red bandana, and the
fact that 1t is the emblem of the Democratic
party will inspire them with confidence.
Rot And this is the kind of campaign
food the Democracy proposes to furnish
the freedmen in the South. However, ii
does not make much difference, for under
the election systems of the South to-day,
the negro has little, if any choice, as to
how he casts his ballot, or whether it is
cast or not

THE California delegation to the National
Republican Convention are sweltering in
the heat of Chicago, and at night stretch
ing themselves in the slIltry darkness in
pardonable nakedness III hope to WOO the
cooling of the blood. At St. Louis the
delegates to the National Democratic Con-
vention, were parboiled in an oven of
humid heat, and fairly melted in the in
tensity of Eastern summer temperature, all
these gentlemen will return to California
blessing the State that Furnishes no man in
that way. They will come back imbued
with a respect for California climate such
as they had not before in their moments
of greatest enthusiasm for this wonderful
and benefcent heritage we enjoy. Talk of
the heat of our valleys; why in this dry
atmosphere where evaporation is so much
conserved, 1919 Fahrenheit is not nearly so
trying as Chicagos moist $50, and the de-
bilitating and melting mood of 900 at St.
Louis.

Mr.. MORGAN of Alabama in the Senate
recently advanced the theory that the
President has a right not only to nego-
tiate the recently so-called fisheries treaty
with Great Britain without the advice
and consent of the Senate" but to declare
it in operation without the assent of that
body; and in support of his position he
read a long and apparently carefully pre-
pared printed speech. If Mr.. Morgan's
views are sound then there is little use OF
Congress legislating upon matters affect
ing our foreign policy. The absurdity OF
his position is shown by supposing the
President to have negotiated treaty
BY which goods of the manufacture of the
foreign power should come into the United
States free of duty in consideration of re.
ciprocal action in favor of American goods.
Does any one for a moment imagine that
such a regulation of the revenue policy
would be tolerated without the consent OF
The legislative branch of the Government
referred to?

State Board of Trade.

The State Board of Trade finds its use
fulness undated, after nearly a year OF
constant activity. The demands upon il
are multiplying, and all parts of the State
have felt the benefit of its work. There
existed in the East sort of Debulous and
underlined conviction that California was a
good place, but the opinion was a sort OF
happy hunting ground affair after all. This
State YVES regarded as kind of paradise, TO
which but few might attain. The State
Board Of Trade has concreted all this
friendly curiosity, and has shown the East
how this material paradise may be entered
upon and possessed. 1t has taken Califor-
MIA out of the spectacular and mirage stage
in which it filled a shOw-window, and has
brought it to the friendly attention of the
country as place where bread and butter
NAV be earned easily and eaten with appe-
tite. The Board of Trade has shown the
wonder-struck stranger how this Eden may
be acquired in acreage suitable for
ranches; how it may be placed in crops
and what they will yield. The effect is
most favorable. 1t is attracting thousands
of immigrants, who bring the industry,
thrift and economy with them; who do not
come for a siesta. but 10 work; who are not
dreamers but delivers. They don't want
to get rich in minute, but they want to
live in a country where they don't have to
fight all summer to keep the heat out. and
ali winter to keep it in. They are tired of
nine months winter and three months
torrid torment So they look upon the
demonstration made by the Board of Trade
and they come to stay.
We hazard nothing in saying that the
Board has done California more good in a
year than all other activities and agencies
could have accomplished in ten years.
Therefore let the Board of Trade be
equipped for all it wants. It has absorbed
ali other activities. Let it have the SUP
port that has heretofore been scattered
uselessly in many channels.-,S. f. Alta.

GOVERNOR HILL of New York vetoed
the Saxton electoral reform bill and the
New York Democracy applauds him for it.
Yet here is the Epoch with all its tenden-
cies Democraticward, but with honest pur-
pose behind it and the courage to be hon
est before partisan, saying:
1t is doing no marked injustice to the Governor
to assume that the reasons assigned by him for
Withholding his approval from this Act are not
the true ones The bill was aimed against boss
ism in politics and corruption at the polls, and
such strength as the Governor possesses unfor-
tunately depends on the support of the section
OF his party which is most closely allied with
bossism and corruption. AS previously re-
of electoral reform like that embodied in the
Saxton bill is merely temporary. 1t is at least
as likely 10 pass the next Legislature as that
which recently adjourned, and 1t is good deal
more likely to be approved by the next Governor
of the State than by his predecessor.
Probably; but not if the next Governor
is Democrat. A Republican is needed
for Just such cases as the reform demanded
The same influences that control Hill will
sway any successor of the same breed of
politics, and no other can be elected upon
a Democratic ticket in New York row;

THE San Francisco Alta says the Re
publican platform reads like stump
speech. What of that? 1t is like good
stump speech The stump speech is typi-
cal of America it speaks of the freedom
OF the American system, of its breadth as
to men, and its tolerance as to utterance.
1t stands for self-government for self
judgment, for free ballots, for the consent
Of the governed, for argument, and reason
and intellectual wrestling. The COMPARE
son the Alta makes is not at all displeas-
ing to Republicans. But, says that jour-
nal, the platform is verbose, rhetorical and
platitudinous. 1t is to be confessed that it
is lengthy-but, then, SO much space was
required in which to fairly and fully
arraign the Democracy for its sins of COM
| mission and omission. Rhetorical? But
that is no offense, since the subjects treated
| affrmatiyely demand eloquence, vigor,
patriotic fervor, and naturally partake of
the enthusiastic. Fine rhetoric will not
90 damage III TINS case, and Is world bet
ter than staid, steely-cold and statesman
like, stiff and angular paper, with which
to open campaign. That it is platitudi-
nour, and its expressions nine out of ten
common to citizens of all party faiths, is
what it was expected Democratic critics
would say of it. When, however, the Alta
comes to discuss the platform specifically,
it gets down to legitimate work and assails
it upon its utterances with incisive vigor.
That method of criticism inspires respect I;
but to speak of the document as bombastic,
platitudinous, rhetorical, and framed " to
catch flies" is not the sort of review that
is worthy journal of such strong parts
and generally clear perceptions and fair
dealing as the alta.

Some Democratic friends who dropped
into the Republican Convention were
very much turpriEed that nothing was
said from the beginning to the end. to
which they could take exception, unless,
indeed, they take exception to the state
ment that the Republican party is first
and foremost, tue one political organiza.
ton which BtRnda in all seasons, and
under all system, the defender OF Ameri.
can Industries, and against tho assaults Of
free traders.
Nothing was said at any time to give
ofIense to any man who, in the late IN.
pleasantness, fought on tho losing side, or
to any man who up to this time has acted
with the Democratic party. The addresses
were arguments rather than deClamstory.
Tho Democratic administration was az
raigned, but no Democrat was personally
inaulted, and no Democrat was made to
feel that he was not welcome listener,
and would not make q welcome particle
pant, under the banner which tho Republic
can party proposes to bear, as the redeem
erS OF West Virginia. Nothing in all the
deliberations Of the League Convention
was so noticeable rs the breadth and
liberality Of its snimating spirit.
This is the spirit in which the Republic
cans of West Virginia go into this cam
paign, now fairly opened; this Is the spirit
which they will carry with them to the
end, and this is the spirit that Is going to
give the Republican side majority Of the
voters Of West Virginia.

The Convention Of Republican Clubs
has met, done lie work, and gone home,
and the results Of it's lsbora are before the
people Of West Virginia. The first thing
to be said OF this body ir, that for intelli'
gsncs and general character, it has never
been excslled by any gathering in this
State. 1t the common expression OF the
citizens OF Wheeling representing all
parties, that the men who lame here to
this Republican Convention, bore them
selves everywhere as gentlemen should
This Of cuurso will be very gratifying tc
the Republicans Of the State, whom these
men came to Wheeling to represent.
When this club movement was drs
suggested, there were Republicans, as in
tslligent and garment Go any otherr, wht
doubted the wisdom OF such gathering
80 early in the year. They argued that Il
would stir up the Democratic party, in
crease desperate efforts Of the Democratic
leaders to keep up the spirit in :theil
followers, and by giving early notice o.
Republican organization and Republican
determination, increase the obstacles IN
the way to victory.
No man who sat in that Convention, OF
q delegate or spectator, can now doubi
the entire wisdom Of the movement which
has thus far shown fruit in the organize
tion Of this splendid League Of working
Republicans, the new instrument placed
in the hands Of the Republican party fol
the redemption Of West Virginia from
the rule Of the Democracy. We are going
to fight this year, We are going to begin
early, we are going to Keep it up late, and
We shall not cease working from now
until the cloae OF the polls on the day oil
the election. This ia the spirit which
anlmAtes the whole body Of the Republic
cans Of West Virginia.

two terms and was defeated once. There
will be Q strong effort made to down him
for another term, though the recent Keep
resentatiVes since Hon. John a. Bingham
was knocked out, have been accorded
three terms. hon. Lorenzo Dantord
served three terms and Hon. J. I. Upde-
graf was elected three times, but bis
third nomination required three days
convention and 232 ballots to secure 1t.
He died before the end OF his term. Col.
TAYLOR filed It out and hsa served two
full terms. II Is asserted now that the
Guernsey county delegation can be d.
vided against him this time. In this
county, Jesse W. HollingsWorth Is bril-
liant orator and was elected Prosecuting
Attorney last fEll by over 400 plurality
over Newell K. Ksnnon, as bright young
attorney as can be found in the State.
His success 10 attributed to the brilliant
campaign he made. II 10 claimed also that

Baltimore SUM-
There was meeting yesterday Of the
EleCtro-AutomRtic Transit Company Of
Baltimore City. 1t was decided to build a
teat line for the rapid delivery Of newspR-
pers, mails and express matters generally.
The mechanical contrivence, under the
new system Of rapid transit invented by
David G. Weems, Of this city, and con-
trolled by the above company, bids fair to
revolutionize the world in this respect.
II ia very simple, consisting Of light
structure, elevated come twenty feet from
the ground, theYeby offering no hindranCe
to tho cultivation Of fields over which It
may pass. Cars, pointed at both ondg, are
run on two tracks, having also an upper or
third rail which acts in the two-fold ca
pacity OF guide rail, and the conductor
Of the electric current. Each car is pro-
vided with an upper or gnide wheel ct
each end, whose aanges inclose the upper
or guide rail on each eide, thus rendering
the jumping of the track matter Of i'm.
possibility. The motive power consists OF
q permanent generator OF certain pre-.
scribed horsepower, located at each
end OF the line, from which the cur
rent passes to the induction rail, where 1t
is Immediately taken up by the travelling
motor, to which one or more cars may be
attached. The whole train Is automatic
in it's action, each car sprlnging It's own
brakes in succession, in passing perms-
nent trfp.lever, located at sufficient dis.
lance from the stopping place, after the
train has already passed 9 point where
the electric current has been cut of per.
manently, leaving the train to its own
momentum only, when the brakes are
automatically applied. By the proposed
line Baltimore newspapers, mail matter or
express packages would reach Chicago in
about two hours. Chicago Is distant from
Baltimore SOL miles by rail. Matter from
San Francisco to New York would be
nine hours in transit.
