FIGHT OVER PRECINCT PRIMARIES

The Republican Ward Association of the
Eighth Ward will meet tomorrow night
to choose election officers for the Eighth
Precinct and, incidentally, scrap over the
selections. Since the George w. Decker
Republican Association organized there
has been much opposition to the ring
forces in that ward. is bound to be a
fight over the appointment of certain ring
men and the anti-ring men will be out in
force
The question of precinct primaries Is
likely to arise with unsatisfactory results.
It is to the interest of the anti-ringsters
to have separate primaries, but the ring
men have always succeeded in running
things to suit themselves. The ring men
will fight for the joint primaries, realizing
the strong opposition that is now arrayed
against them.

ONE EDITORS IDEA.
Thinks Modern Threshing Is Not what It
Used TO Be-NO Work, No Dust,
just Dividing Profits.

aWell, dad CAST it, if threshing isn't a
picnic to what it used to be" exclaims
the editor of the Highland Vidette.
''Ye who formerly sweat and swore and
sWeltered amid dust and heat and work
Of a threshing machine, look at it now.
No more rubbing of red eyes and
stOmping about on the straw stacks.
A long, hollow, revolving vermifOrm
appendix, called a blower, scatters the
straw and stacketh it, aud no man
crOOketh finger. There is no band
cutter to have his face punched by the
butt end Of a bundle from the top Of
the stack while be is peeling wheat
boards from his eye with one hand and
carving the feeders hand with the
knife in the other. There is no feeder
to gather up thOrns and thistles in his
fingers and eat the dust that OOzes
from the machine while he is batting
his eyelashes at the grains Of wheat

der. That's all done by machinery now.

five heroes on a straw stack, two band
cutters, 8 feeder and a man to weigh
the grain, there is one man who attends
to it all and be does it with an oil can
in one hand and 8 cigar in the other.
There used to be man who took his
life in one hand and a long whip in the
other and mounted a platform that

Here Is a Good story.

Hugh FarreIly tells a good story
illustrating the gauzy character Of the
claim Of republicans that their party
is opposed to trusts. "a short time
ago" he says, zone of two twin broth
ers became demented and was found
BY examination in the probate court to
be in that condition. A commitment
to the insane asylum was made out,
and, as the other twin, who closely re-
sembled his insane brother, was able
to control him better than any one
else, he was deputized by the sheriff
and the commitment turned over to
him to convey the unfortunate brother
to the asylum. Shortly after the broth
ers arrived at the asylum the sheriff
the following telegram from
the superintendent: Two brothers
who look Just alike are here from your
county with but one commitment. One
Is constantly talking Of building q
railroad to the moon and the other
that the republican party is opposed
to the trusts. Which shall ] put in?' -

Richard OIney for Bryan.


Richard Olney's conversion" TO the
Bryan cause is, In some respects, the
most notable event Of the campaign to
date. Mr.. Olney was Grover Cleve-
lands secretary OF state, and by all
odds the ablest man in the cabinet.
He is q Boston man, identified with
many in terests commonly supposed to
be antsgonized By the Kansas City
platform. But be is q democrat. He
was the author Of the VeDzuela mes
sage wherein be made Grover Cleve-
land defy the British government TO
the point Of war, to try to extend its
territories in South America.
Such q man was not likely to give
his support to an administration that
voluntarily "hauled down the Ameri-
can flag" over American territory in
Alaska.
1t is the final test. No American
deserving the name can do more or
less than Mr.. Olney has done. The
brains and heart Of the American peO-
pie 90 with this staunch New England
American-away from Mckinley to

Mr. BRTAN'S FIDELITY To SILVER
The silver question is treated with
Characteristic candor by Mr.. Bryan in
his letter Of acceptance. It is plain
that his views on this subject have not
been modified IN the least degree. He
has, in fact, never given even an init
nation Of a tendency to abandon the
issue on which he was defeated IN his
first canvass for the presidency, or to
show any half heartedness IN its sup
port.
Mr. Bryan embraces, In his letter Of
acceptance, the opportunity to give to
silver the strong and positive afHrma-
ton which was practically mOnOpolized
bymperialism in his speech at Mill
tary park In Indianapolis. IF it were
the desire Of the democratic campaign
managers to silence Mr.. Bryan on the
financial question they would find it
impossible. His belief In the coinage
Of silver at the ratio Of Is to / is so
positive that he VIII declare it on all
appropriate occasions. This, with Mr.
Bryan, is stiH the paramount issue.
In obedience to the decision Of the
party managers he has placed mper-
iaiism before silver, but It is easy TO
see that the democratic candidate for
president is as firm as ever in the
opinion that the greatest need Of the
c9nntry IS an expanded currency, and
he is courageous and ingenious
enough % take no pains to conceal

Denver NsEs-I

Denver NsEs.l
With large flourish Of trumpets
and brass band effects generally, At
torney General Goddard, OF Kansas,
made a spectacular journey to Wash
ingtOn, last spring, with the svoEed
purpose OF bringing an Injunction suit
in the supreme court Of the United
States against the state Of Colorado to
compel it to cease using the waters Of
the Arkansas river for irrigation pur-
poses. Those who read his fierce in
terEieWs in the press reports, and were
inclined to be at all faint hearted, saw
visions OF dry bitches and rained crops
from Canon City to Holly in the Ar
kansas valley. As the days passed on
and no miniOns Of the law, clothed
with federal authority, appeared to
close their headgates, they took cour-
age, and proceeded with the farming
operations regardless of the Kansas
attorney general or his threats. The
result is that a beautiful crop has been
harvested and the Kansas suit has not
msterialized. As The News suggested
at the time, Mr.. Goddard was blufing,
but the bluff has not worked.
1t is now announced that the suit
viii be abandoned. Mr.. Goddard says
the season has been a "wet one" there
has been plenty Of water In the Ar
kansas river, and be cannot obtain
sufficient facts on which to base a suit.
This always has been the case, and al
ways will be the case. Such a suit as
has been contemplated has absolutely
no basis in fact, and as a consequence
none in law. Mr. Goddard might have
made this discovery before he made
his dramatic trip to Washington. What
be would like to do, and what be can
do, are two entirely distinct PROPOSE
tions. He prepared a suit against the
state Of Colorado so that the supreme
court Of the United States might have
original jurisdiction. But the state Of
Colorado, as a state, does not take a
single inch Of water from the Arkan-
sas river, and never has. Its citizens,
corporate and individual, do use the
water for irrigation, and a separate
suit would have to be brought against
each one Of these corporate and indi-
vidual users, in which proceeding the
United States circuit court Of Colo
RADIO would have the original jurisdie
ton and its action be the subject Of
appeal to the United States supreme
court If Mr.. Attorney General God
dsrd, of Kansas, had taken the trouble
to ascertain this fact before starting
for Washington, be wOold now be oc-
cupying a less ridiculous position.
The wise course for the people Of
Kansas and Nebraska is to join with
Colorado in urging construction Of
storage reservoirs by the government.
Water enough runs to waste in the
food seasons to irrigate immense
bodies Of land in eastern Colorado and
western Kansas and Nebraska. The
s2OO,OOO,OOO expended on the war in the
Philippines would have redeemed all

COST Us A PRETTY PENNY.
100000 a Year Spent TO Keep Medical
OmcsEs in the Phuippines-One sur
Eeon FOR Every IL Sick Men.
TSan Francisco EIaminer.I

san EraDclsCO ELam1uer.I
Westinghouse costs the United
States government the enormous sum
Of $4,000 year to keep surgeons and
other medical officers in the Philip
pines. This does not include nurses,
hospital attendants and medicines.
The official records show that there
are 400 medical officers in the Philip
pines, at an average salary Of 800 q
year.
The war department bulletined re-
Gently a statement that the sickness in
the Philippine army was slightly over
8 per cent Of 10000, or a total sickness
of 5000. This it is alleged, is the aver
age normal sickness. In other words,
it requires one contract surgeon at
$500 a year to take care Of about u
men.
Nothing but the official records are
necessary to show the extravaganza Of
the war department. There are five
hospitals in Manila. In these i've hos
pitfalls there are LIT men, the total
being made mp OF 1s7, 80, 212, 468 and
I75 in each hospital respectively The
1.2T7 are cared for by 90 medical Off
GERS, or each officer being able to
attend to 20 men.
The inevitable inference from the
official records is strong to this effect:
That the president has made hun
dreds Of useless appointments Of con-
tract surgeons for the sake OF distribut-
ing his full patronage; or that there is
absolute need in the Philippines for
every one Of the 400 surgeons for rea-
sons that the war department will not
make public
Here are the statistics Of the army
surgeons:
There are authorized By Law for each
volunteer regiment three commanding
medical officers, or total Of % for the
volunteer regiments in the Philippines.
There are g. surgeons with the rank Of
major. On June 80 the records showed
247 contract surgeons in the Philip
pines. One hundred have been sent
to the Philippines since June 90. There
are 50 regular army Surgeons in the
Philippines. These last three items
show a total OF 400 surgeons and physi-
clans in the Philippines.
It is obvious that, as 80 surgeons can
take care Of 1,2T7 men in the hospitals
ct Manilas the whole alleged number
Of 900 sick could be taken care Of at
that rate By 80 physicians. There are
$50 regular army physicians, or 80 more
than necessary to take charge Of the
whole Philippine army IN time Of peace I
If the health Of the army be rs it Is

The subjects, however treated IN this
letter, important as each may seem IN
itself, do not press so imperatively for
solution as the question which the plat
form declares to be the paramount issue

here to or abandon those ideas Of gov
eminent which have distinguished this
nation from other nations and given to
its history its peculiar charm and value.
Is q question the settlement Of which

ton It is easier to lose reputation than
to establish one, and this nation would
find Il a long and laborious task to regain
