The lifting up of the inhabitants of slunis Is one

The Senate has the right idea in the matter
of what is necessary for the navy. 1t is also
right in desiring to reduce the river and har-
Dor bill The two policies dove-:ail. If the
contracts in the river and harbor bill are largely
reduced the proper increase in the navy can be
made without either causing a deficit
or charging TAXATION Surely in the face of re-
cent complications with naval powers the ne
cessity for greater increase in the naval force
of the country than the House has provided for
Is obvious to ali men who thilk Senator Cor
man represents the wiser elemer. of LIS party
in that part of his contention in recent discus
sions which includes an advocacy Of the build
ing Of more ships.

posed to accept the Ocala rather than the St.
Louis demands and to run the democratic
party by staying in it and controlling 1t. have
scored a victory in North Carolina. The nomi-
nee for governor. late president of the state
alliance, Is acceptable to most of the organized
farmers and the action taken both ~ to men
and measures signifies the minimizing as
far possible under existing conditions
OF the third party movement. What
the effect may be on the demo-
cratic national convention remains to be seen.
The program of the third party leaders has
been to shape, or at least 10 influence. state
politics first. with an Interior purpose of
doing the same thing for national politics.
Some alliance men will not undoubtedly be salts
fed with any partial success in the local field,
but il is reasonable 10 suppose that the con-
cessions made to tine alliance in state matters
VII produce an effect on the ultimate action of
members of the organization in the larger field
