Senator Eugene Hale, Of Maine. has
sounded note of warming to his fell
low republicans which they would do
well to heed.
Senator Hale is not one Of those who
take the results of a presidential cleo
ton as an Endorsement Of all sorts
of republican schemes. He does not at
temDt to conceal his fear that in the
fullness of their triumph there is grave
danger of his party associates riding
to fall.
lie declares that if the party wishes
to retain its control Of the government.
its first and most necessary step must
be Ito reduce taxation stop eX-
travagant expenditures, cut down ap-
preparations He tells his associates
that clean, straight. business admin
istration, free from needless extrava-
gance, is the only chance for continued
success.
1t is good advice and the republicans
will do we'll to heed it. There is not
much likelihood. however, of their do
ing So Extravaganza is one of the
cardinal virtues of the republican par
ty. in a republican lexicon there is no
such word as economy" The iniiu-
ences back of the republican party be-
lieve in the wholesale expenditure OF
the governments money and the in
crease of the taxes which they them
selves do not have to pay.
Senator Hale has shown disposition
of late years to oppose his party in
good many ways, and there is not much
prospect of his meeting much encour-
aeement in his economy programme.
The republicans are not built that way.

History as She Is Made.

Whether General Freddy Funston
can swim or cannot has become an is
she in Kansas and is a question in
which the country at large is manifest
ing some interest.
A side light on the making OF Ameri-
can history is furnished by this partic-
ular controversy IL will be recalled
that Funston's claim upon hero wor-
Slippers was based on a beautiful story
OF how. in the face of terrific fire, he
swan at the head OF his men across
one Of the deep island streams in the
Philippines and swept the enemy from
its entrenched position. The fact that
this feat was accomplished under the
inauspicious condition OF deep water
was duly and forcefully emphasized.
The story found its way into one Of
the school histories in use III Kansas
4 Kansas volunteer, who was on the
scene, happened to come home and
read the history. Then he threw the
state into a turmoil of excitement by
asserting that Funston cannot swim
and that the episode as chrOnicled IS
pure fiction. Moreover he manifested
an ability TO prove his assertions.
An official Investigation is on foot.
The outcome Of the efforts of the in
vestigators will be watched with deep
interest. The veracity Of history as It
is written these days is involved. If
Funston did not swim that stream. and
if-as we now know to be true-Roose-

Certain Election Figures.

who voted for the democratic congress

il necessary to vote for Mr.. Bryan. This
sort of thing appears TO have happened

There is tendency on the part Of
some people who seek TO helittle Mr..
Bryan TO argue that the figures in the
congressional contest show he ran
badly behind the ticket in different
states. We do not put The Post in
that class. however. because we be
lieve The Post to be free from desire to

II does not require any study at all
TO show why il is that in the southern
states the candidates for congress got
more votes than the national ticket.
Here in Georgia not one OF the eleven
democratic congressman had anything
like serious opposition. Most OF them
had no opposition at all. In these dis
tricts hundreds of men who are repub-
leans and who voted the republican
national ticket voted for the democratic
nominees for congress. 1t was proba-

The Southern Industrial Convention.

The Southern Industrial Convention.
The WORK Of the Southern Industrial
convention. in session in New Orleans
during the past week, was of national
Importance.
The discussion as to the name and
the membership Of the convention was
well timed and well decided Other
sections of the country. without any
suggestion of sectionalism. have organ
lied to promote the business interests
in which they felt a controlling inter-
est. The sectional designation of such
bodies referred only to the range of
industries there represented. and not
to the political phase which might Oc-
cupy the same ground. Such bodies
have done splendid work by developing
the needs and squirting up the ambi-
tions of the territory for which they
spoke. Altogether. they promoted the
interests of the entire country.
The Southern Industrial convention
represents interests at once diversified
and of enormous value. There is rep
resented cotton. with single by-prod
ucts equaling the value of the main
products OF other sections; sugar. for
which the home market alone is Him

of the causes of the outbreak shows
that he understands the situation,
which should be a guarantee that he
will carry negotiations to a successful
conclusion.
There are several other matters,
however. upon which the president is
not so fortunate. His allusion to the
trusts is little better than an evasion
of the whole subject-something like
the Philadelphia trust plank-which
said il and then did not say 1t. There
can be no doubt that this question is
one upon which there is too close an
alliance between the party to which
the president belongs and the trusts,
and that it will furnish the breach
through which democratic assault will
BE effective.
From the gingerly handling OF the
trusts. il is an easy step to ship subsi-
dies. which the president heartily COM
mends. While it is regrettable that
but . per cent Of American trade is car
ried in American bottoms. it will be

cannot be obscured even by the portiy
