RICH BOYS POOR CHANCE

THIS paper wants the address of
any man in Kansas worth a
hundred thousand dollars who did
not begin life as a poor, hard work
ing boy. This paper wants the al
dress of any man who has been
Governor of Kansas who did not
begin life as a poor, hard working
boy. This paper wants the adj
dress of any man who has represent
ed Kansas in Congress or the Unit
ed States Senate who did not begin
life as a poor, hard working boy.
This paper wants the address of any
Kansan who is prominent as law
yer, as a doctor, as an educator, as
a writer, as banker, as railroader
or as a farmer who did not begin
life as a poor, hard working boy.
1t really looks like there isno chance
anymore in this country for the rich
mans son. In the days of Wash
ington, Adams and Jefferson, the
rich, the plutocrats, seemed to hog
everything, But in these degener-
ate days there seems to be con
spiracy against the rich mans son.
This is especially true in the west.
You never see the rich mans son IN
the band wagon. You never see
him cutting ice. You never see him
at the head of the procession

STORMY CONVENTION

THE democratic brethren had
rather stormy weeks session
atLouisville, Ky trying to nomin
ate a candidate for governor. They
called one another all kinds of pet
names and came near getting into a
regular riot. They finally succeed
ed in nominating a candidate but
doubtless left a good many sore
spots.

PRESIDENCY

THERE seems to be plenty OF
applicants for President Wills
place in the Agricultural college.
We hope the regents will give the
place to the best man that can be
secured regardless of his political
views and will try and secure some
one who has gumption enough to
not be forever trying to force his
own political crankisms onto other
people, whether they want to hear
:hem or not.

HYPOCRITE OR IGNORAMUS
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

hOCHesIOT O6ulOCIdl anu ShlOhlSiO'
The theory of emocracy is that
trusts are the creatures of protec-
ton, and that they cannot exist un-
der free trade. 1t should be ex-
planned that this is the avowed
theory of the Democracy, rather
than its honest belief; a theory put
forth for political effect, to be in
troduced into the next campaign
something as follows: Trusts are
an unmitigated evil; they are created
by the protective tariff; therefore
we should have a free trade tariff;
therefore the Democracy, with its
pledges to take protection out of
the tariff, should be put in power,
Now all this is the veriest pre-
tense. There is no evidence that
trusts owe their establishment and
maintenance to the protective tariff.
Trusts are business development
of the past few years, and they ex-
list under all tariffs. An article IN
the May "Forum" states that $50
trusts were organized in Germany
two years ago, that the number has
greatly increased since then; that
among them are big German coal
trust, and an Austrian rolling mill
trust; that there are French COM
binations controlling iron, petro-
leum, sugar, chemicals and number
less other products, and Belgium is
overrun with trusts. These coun-
tries have various kinds of tariffs.
Trusts are not the outgrowth of
any special tariff system. They
flourish or fall independently of tar
ifs, and are no more prevalent I'M
der protection than under free trade.
So when a Democrat or a Populist
comes around saying that the Amer
lean people, in order to kill the
trusts, must slaughter their home
industries by subjecting them to un-
restricted foreign competition, it is
safe to set him down as hypocrite
or an ignoramus. In either case he
is intent on making political capital
by raising a false issue. He wants
to advance the fortunes of his party
and he cares not whether the means
be fair and truthful or foul and de-
ceptive.
But the American people are not
to be hoodwinked. They have had
some instructive object lessons in
free trade and protection. They
like the latter because of the pros
perity it has brought, and they are
not going to give it up at the behest
of demagogues whose fabrications
have not even a kernel of truth and |
whose motives are transparency sell
fish.

The withdrawal Of Marcus DAILY from
the state of Montana will be regarded by
a large proportion of tho people of that
state with much regret. He was in every
respect a publIc-spirited citizen Of the
state, to whose energy and enterprise
such towns as Butte and Anaconda owed
much of their wealth and Importance.
Indeed. it is to the presence Of such men
as he in the state and to their restless
labors in the development of the mineral
and commercial resources of the state
that its. great wealth is in & large meas
ure due.
Mr.. Daily differed from many men in
his position on account of the wide range
OF his personal sympathtes and friend
ships. The degree of personal devotion
which was manifested toward him in the
recent contest between Helena and Ana
conda for capital honors shows in what
warm personal esteem he has been held.
There are few men engaged In CONNER
cial life in the two cities of Butte and
Anaconda that DO not feel sense or per-
sonal obligation and devotion toward Mr.
Daily. The transfer of his business In
terests to other hands will no doubt Sc
rfously affect a great number of chose
who were led to settle in those commune
ties through one or other influence per-
sonal to Mr.. Daily.
The state of Colorado will be greatly
the gamer by the sale of Mr. Days in
terests in Montana to the Rockefellers.
II. as is not improbable, Marcus DAILY
makes his home in the state and engages
in business enterprise, there is little doubt
that he will soon win for himself as large
a measure of the good will of the people
and as high position in the business
and social life of the state as he did in
Montana. He is still in the prime of ac-
tive life. and his vast experience in the
development of mining properties, as we'll
as in the growth and development of the
industries adapted to a given locality,
render it certain that he will In Colorado
fairly duplicate his splendid work in be-
half of public and private enterprise while
a citizen of Montana.

The argument Of the ninety-nine fac
ton resolves itself into the fact that there
is one more station than there are spaces
between the stations, that is, that there
arc one hundred stations for nlnety-nine
spaces, and so 1T follows by analogy that
tho year SO must complete the first CEN
fury. This argument is specious In that
the stations ara taken to represent the
years. AS a matter of fact. the stations
in notation are mere points, and a point
has no extension. The unit of the CEN
tury is time extension of one year. The
unit of the survey is lineal extension of
LOO feet What does the station notation
mean? Station means that there is
no such unit Immediately preceding the
starting point of the survey Station 1
means that there Is one such unit be-
tween the starting point and itself, and
station 100 means that there are 100 such
units between the starting point and it
self 81
In other words, the stations or number
ed positions are mere points of division
without magnitude, and the sum of any
number of them would be nothing in
extent, consequently they cannot be used
in computation of magnitude when con-
sidered as points only. The spaces be-
tween the points represent the extension
and the number of these spaces between
the starting point of the survey and any
given point will always be Indicated by
the station number at that point.
This parallel makes an excellent illus
tration when properly applied.

DRAMATIC.
METROPOLITAN.

James Neill may not have presented or
acted the Baron Chevrial in Sardou,s "a
Partisan Romance" as well as Richard
Mansfield has in st. Paul, but he GER
tainly surprised his most ardent admir-
ers and pleased a large audience in his
rendition of the role of A dissiDated roue
who lived for pleasure and died at a sup
per given for bevy of opera comique
actresses.
The drama undoubtedly has d. moral
but there is deal of shaded immortality
in the four acts up to the time that the
Baron Chevrial falls dead with a glass
Of wine in his hand After this dramatic
climax the moral begins to have a
chance.
Mr.. Neill gave a carefully studied rem
dition of the rakish baron. At the supper
scene, just previous to the fatal stroke
of apoplexy, his impersonation was par
ticularly fine, as was also his scene with
Marcelle de Targy in the third act
Edythe Chapman, as Marcelle present
ed with rare skill the role of frivolous
woman, who could not stand the humili-
alton Of being reduced from wealth to
poverty, and the scene with Baron
Chevrial where he declares his love for
her, and in the flight from her home
and husband, she was seen at her best.
Herschel Mayall, as Henri de Targy
has been seen to better advantage in
other roles, but played the part of the
injured husband with feeling.
Agnes Maynard, as Nine. de Targy
was the ideal lovable mother ready to
do anything for her son, and played the
part eXcellently.
Lila Vane, as Rosa Guerin, of the
opera confque, who escaped the snares
laid for her by the baron by shrewdness,
and managed to make money by not play
ing the tips given her on the stock mar
ket, looked and acted the part. and in
the supper scene was both effective and
charming.
Joseph Everham, as DIR. Chesnel, and
Robert Morris, as Juliani, filled in the
parts to- advantage.
Sandol MilIiken, Julia May and Ethel
Runge, who participated in the supper
scene as just from tle5bal1et and en- cos
tune, appeared to advantage rather from
a physical than a histrionic point of view
Miss Runge, who made her debut as one
Of the ballet girls, is daughter of As
sistant Chief Runge, Of the Minneapolis
fire department.
The play is we'll staged and the scenery
was admirable. the supper scene in the
fourth act being particularly handsome
The same bill will be presented tonight,
tomorrow night and at the Saturday
matinee.

END OF THE CENTURY.
Mr.. Amman Discusses the Question
at Considerable Length.

at Considerable Length.
To the Editor of the Globe:
If 100 years make a century, the open
ing of the twentieth century of the
Christian era will date from Jan. !, 1901,
though elaborate arguments have been
written to thes r9htrary. He who knows
that Jan. 1, i1PD6s will usher in the new
century will prove it by expatiating some
what as follows:
You will admit that we must begin
with zero, of course. In that case the
end of the first eertury was undoubtedly
Dec. 81, SO. No3sIWell, let US come right
down to the present century. Instead
of we will say 1900 Now from to the
end of SO is a period of the same length
as 1900 to 1899 isn't it? Figures went
lie, you know; SO minus 0 equals 80; 1899
minus 1900 equals 90. Ninety-nine in
both cases, you see. What? Ninety
nine doesn't make a century you say?" he
observes with a deprecating smile. Every
true, / didn't for an instant intimate that
it did, but can't you see this: The year
1900 is a year. isn't it? One full year.
Now add ninety mine years and you have
100 years, haven't you? That is, 1900
to 1899, both inclusive, is 100 years. Looks
little queer at first, but It's a fact, new
ertheless." To his surprise you read ly
assent to the proposition 80, you
admit it? Well, there's nothing more to
say then. is there? That clearly settles
the whole question, doesn't it?' And he
impatiently pitfes you on account of your
dullness when you object to his conclu-
sion. Just give 1t a little thought" he
says, and it will come to YOU

comprehension Is invited to glance at the

man from Louisville with any less favor
than they had regarded him before.
Mr.. Watterson says that he is out of
politics, and cares not what happens in
to him. This does not sound like the
Kentucky cavalier who has been the adj
mired of all admirers in the past. 1t is
too suggestive of a certain Grecian war
rior of old who retired within his tent
very much to his own discredit and to
the enduring injury of the cause of his
friends. Men who are engaged in politics
are the men who are in search of office.
The colonel never allowed himself to &C.
cupy that position. He has been one OF
the strongest forces in the land, notwith-
standing that he has always been
stranger to Office all his life long, except
for one very brief period.
Let us hope that the colonel will re-
consider his determination not to con-
Germ himself further in the fortunes of
his party and his party friends. We
would not have 1t said or believed that
the colonel was fast reaching that period
in the journey of life when ease is all.
and when the accouterments of war no
longer rest lightly on the warriors frame.
Let the colonel but cast his eye for a
moment toward the city of his love and
there behold the hosts of the Democracy
battling as of old for the maintenance
of party principle and party honor. and
let him be encoura ged. He Is too brave
and enlightened, too warm-hearted and
debonair, and will so remain for years
to come, to withdraw himself into the
cold shade of dreary inaction.
