THE RIGHT OF WAY.
The Republicans Are Not Going to
Take Anything for Granted.

Take Anything for Granted.
New York Tribune: In response to an
assurance that Massachusetts was GER
tain to give great majority for Nc
kinley and Roosevelt, Senator Scott. OF
the Republican national committee,
said yesterday: Were not going to let
Massachusetts go as she pleases. either.
We are going to work hard In every
state TO make the plurality as large rs
possible" The senator's declaration
Is timely, and shows that has exactly
the right view OF the way in which the
campaign ought TO be conducted. y
comfortable majority OF the electoral!
votes Is by no means all that Is to be
desired. The highest interests Of the
country require that there should be
immense popular majorities behind the
electoral verdict. 1t Is extremely i'm
portant that Bryan and his supporters
should not be able to say with any APP
proach OF truth that the changing OF q
few votes here and there would have
reversed the result. Four years ago
men who defeated Organism We're al
most persuaded that the defeat of Nc
kinley would in the long run be less
unfortunate than his victory by 4 mar
row margin. since in the former case
n heavy penalty wouii be quickly paid
and the lesson learned for all time.
whereas in the latter case disastrous
agitation would continue indefinitely
Happily the country did not have to
take that heroic remedy for foolishness
but set, in spite OF the wonderful pros.
perity which has d!sproved every free
silver claim. Bryan Is still the dictator
OF free silver party. This year the
condemnation and the overthrow ought
TO be final. y victory like that OF 1896
might, and probably would. answer the
purpose: but {; far greater one ought
to be achieved. II possible.
Their conduct indicates that there are
mer who. while they lacl: the holiness
to support bryan openly. and will per-
haps vote for Mckinley. are hoping
that he will barely pull through. 1t Is
duty to give them the worst disap-
pointment OF their lives AS Senator
Scott says even the surcst state should
not be permitted to go rs It plcases and
furnish safe, but not an impressive
majority. The right Kind OF victory
will be one OF such magnitude that the
vanquished will not have enough vital
ity left even to wonder where they are

The Camera Fiend Nuisance.

New York Herald: To be unable to
walk in the public street. to drive In an
automobile, to so into the surf or to
stop to talk with friend on the beach
without being snapped into n distorted
picture for public diversion is badgering
the conspicuously placed citizens a tri-
file too far.
There should be much more discrc-
ton and delicacy demanded in the
treatment OF those who are in the pub
lie eye, and the very men worthy to MI
public places with credit will decline,
because they do not care to be pilloried
for public scorn or amusement and their
private life desecrated

An Old Trick.

Z The bowling derv!shes OF the Demo-
cratic press have had much to.say Of
late about Governor RooSevelt's speech
before the convention OF the National!
League OF Republican Clubs at St. Paul,
twisting his Language into 4 meaning
that he characterized all Democrats
with dIshonor ana cowardlce. This WAS
done by the old fashioned method of the
venal members OF the Democratic press
In garblinG sentence here and there.
Its n trick that has often been resort
ed +. TO in this city. The New York
Journal. a yellow OF the yellow sheets Of
Gotham. the worst offender, went 50
far us TO reprint single sentence from
the speech and declare that It was APP

the paper knew that It's statement was

Now WHEN the contcx: OF the sentence
appears Il readily shows to what base

Bryanites. 1t distinctly refers to thos.

Food for Reflection.

The great cry OF the Bryan Demo-
Gratis, and others whose Souls arc
wedged In the eye Of bodkin," Is
against expansion, or as they arbltrar-
lily designate It Imperialism" When
the Louisiana purchase is pointed out
to these opponents OF the adminlstra-
TONS policy. accomplished under the
ancient fathers OF Democracy, to whom
they so frequently appeal, they claim,
without knowledge of the facts, tina:
the territory was Incorporated into the
Union without protest on the part. OF
the Inhabitants. But these persons will
have to face some historical facts ac-
cordlng to the Cincinnati Times Star,
which says:
The Hon. William Dudley Foulka,
Indiana's distinguished civil service re-
former, aftera long historical study Of
the Louisiana purchase. has announced
that he Will support Mckinley and has
asked to be assigned to make speeches
showing the policy OF the adminlstra-
ton Is strictly In accord with historical
parallels. He concIsely sums up the
situation at the time OF the Louisiana
purchase In the following words:
When Jefferson took possession OF
Louisiana SO great was the disancction
that disorders were repeatedly sup
pressed at the point OF the bayone,.
Vixen Aaron Burr went to New Orleans

western empire collapsed It was said
that nearly everyone of the leading cit
liens was his silent accomplish"
But there is another thing that Is n
matter OF clear record that should con-
vince these sons Of error OF their untcn-
able ard inconsistent position. It Ia no
less than the. proclamation OF President
James Madison, issued on October %,
1916:
Whereas. the territory south OF the
mississippi territory and cast OF tho

river Berdido. of which possession was

that the city must buy the seventy million
