The refusal Of GoebcliEed- Governor
Taylor to be a candidate for reelection
in Kentucky seems to have cleared the
political air In thai state considerably.
and to have added uu,iccahly Ia tlse
chances OF Republican success.
The disturbances which attended the
contest for the sovernorship last win
ter, including the killing OF the Demo
cratic leader, Goehel. aroused a rreas
deal OF bitter feeling against Taylor.
and great, many Republicans joEns.i
in the criticism OF his actions. His re
nomination would have intensified the
feeling against him and would have
directed the campaign towards minor
issues and away from the national
questions and the Goebel law.

BRYAN's BEST THOUGHTS.

William Jennings Bryan's denial Of
lion In the Philippines leaves much to
be desired. An Associated Press letter
from Manila, published on last Mon
day, quoted Buencamino, Aguinaldo's
Secretary OF state as affirming thar
the rebels had letters from prominent
anti-imperialists, Including w. ].
Bryan, advising -that the FilIpInos
adhere TO their demands for independ-
ence, and they would eventually be
sustained by the American voters"
Il have never written to Aguinaldo
or any other Filipino" sasd Mr.. Bryan
Wednesday. Buencamina did not say
that he had, but merely ti-s the rebels
had Letters from Mr.. Bryan encour-
aging them to persist in rebellion. Such
letters need not have been written to
Aguinaldo or any other Filipino. ANY
letters from Mr.. Bryan containing the
sentiments described by Buencamino
and sent by their recipients to the reb-
els would serve tie desired purpose
and justify Aguinaldo's repeated asser-
tions of Mr.. Bryan's sympathy with
the rebel cause
The uncertain nature OF Mr.. Bryan's
mind is also exhibited in his plan for
dealing with the Philippine problem.
He says: .-The administration should

our only purpose is to give those peo-

Mr.. Bryan. We have SO declared, and
we have replaced with American rule
the Spanish government which we
overthrow incidentally, we have had

Tagal oligarchy.
Mr. Bryan also thinks we should at.

over the Philippines. He would have us
give them their independence and
protect them against outside interfer-
ence, as we have done in the case OF
the South American republics" The
South American republic won their In
dependence without our help. and we
have never tried to protect" them In

The real reason behind the projected
ship canal through Nicaragua or the
isthmus of Panama, which is now en-
crossing SO much attention. is the fact
that goods may be transported more
easily on the water than over the land.
Examples in everyday life emphasize
the difference. Two mules draw one
hundred tons of coal in canal boat;
on land they would have difficulty in
tugging three or four tons in coal
cart. Hence, whatever the power used,
water-borne freights the world over
are cheap and land routes are dear.
This consideration greatly affects the
growth of cities and of nations. Pitts
burg coal and Lake Superior ores are
near together. because they can be
transported so great part of the dis
tance by water. 1t also largely ac-
counts for Americas prominence as
great steel-producing country. Stove
coal Ia usually cheap in places to which
1t can go by water, and high where 1t
must 60 by rail. The same is true OF
all bulky and heavy commodities.

The success of great invention
often depends upon some auxiliary
discovery to make 1t practicable. With
out the telegraph, modern railroading
would have been impossible. Without
the air-brake, the high speed OF the
great express trains could not have
been permitted. To-day the electric
automobile. which is much heavier
than the steam power carriage, would
be given great impetus by the dis
covery of something better than the
present rubber tires. The great weight
and swift motion of the carriage upon
rough streets cause the tires to wear
out rapidly Which will come first, a
lighter electric storage battery or a
firmer elastic substance for the tires?
The history of inventions suggests
that one or the other will appear at an
early date.

DEMOCRATIC lNsFFIclENcy.


their disposition to indulge in factional
quarrels. 1t Is characteristic OF the
members of that party except in the
solidly Democratic states of the South,
to dispute among themselves. 1t is
manifested in Ohio AT the present time.
The Democratic convention in that
state was the scene of a wrangle much
like the one that filled the air with
discord in Denver few days ago.
This lack of harmony and co-opera-
tion is a Democratic trait. because so
many men of that party are incapable
OF doing anything progressive. They
are reactionists by nature. and when
any one tries to accomplish something,
ately presents itself. For the same rea-
son Democrats are incapable OF admin
istering our government with satisfac-
ton to the people. They fail, because
they waste their energies In attacking
something or somebody.
We have seen 1t here in Colorado and
especially in Denver since the Repub-
lican party lost control Of state and
city affairs. The era of calamity howl
ing has been contemporaneous with
the rule of Democrats and Populists.
Before they secure the offices Demo
Gratis are full of promises of reform,
but they are no sooner established in
power than they demonstrate their In
capacity.
Study the history of the Democracy
since the war and it will be seen that
almost continuously the cry OF that
party has been against some policy or
measure approved by the Republicans.
There has not been single sound pol
icy or line OF action which the Demo
Gratis have introduced. Even their
campaign for what they called tariff
reform was no exception, for after they
at'@ined TO power on that issue, they
faiied to pass such a free trade meas
ure as they advocated during the pre-
ceding campaign.
Locally. there are abundant illustra-
tions. The present city administration
has been in power for more than n
year. but It has not accomplished n
single one OF the alleged reforms which
Democracy and its leaders promised.
