CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia North American
says: Georgia sends no team to Sea
Girt this year to compete in the
matches of the National Rife Associa-
ton. In 1897 the Georgians won the
Hilton trophy but in 1899 the New Jer-
sey team took it away from Them and
the Georgians disputed the genuineness
of the Jerseymen's score and went
home in a huff. The rifle tournament
this year promises to be the greatest
held since the palmy days of Creed
moor and Dollymount, and If it proves
successful it will revive public interest
in craftsmanship No precaution to
avoid even suspicion of unfairness
should be neglected. Fraud and falsi-
fication of scores killed Creedmoor."
The Philadelphia Times (Dem.) says:
Mr.. Roosevelt's boom for the presl-
dency is being organized in the West.
In Kansas it is stated that a number
of Roosevelt clubs have been formed by
Federal officeholders of Mr.. McKinleys'
appointment, so that there is appear
ance of making the Vice President the
regular Republican legatee. While the
West will not settle this matter, the
movement is significant should the
boom hold. The West making a de-
mand on New York for this nomination
would be a spectacle calculated to fill
Mr.. Plat with conflicting emotions
which 1t will be interesting to wit
ness"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
Mark Hanna has been sowing in the
Republican spots of the South not
dragons teeth. but bank notes, Conf
IDENTIFY expecting them to rise up in
men armed with credentials to the next
Republican national convention. Such
votes have nominated candidates for
President but Mark ought to remem-
Der that later on they are not repre-
scented in the electoral college the right
way"
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem)
says: MANY people wonder why the
Navy Department has not censured
Historian Maclay for writing dsre-
specially about present superior in
the service. inasmuch as Admiral Ev-
ans was scolded for writing disrespect-
| fully about a former superior in the
service. is there any valid excuse for
this discrimination In favor OF Mac
lay3"

The political bosses of Philadelphia,
not content with registering dead men
as voters. and voting their names at
election times. have been discovered
adding the names of dogs and cats to
the poll lists. Such are the means by
which the corrupt Republican machine
manages to hold poor philadelphia
down while 1t picks her pocket.

If Jerry Simpson would hurry up and
decide where he is going
to move to from Kansas,
and move there and stay. the
newspaper reading public would be
grateful. Jerry has announced his in
tention of living in probably half a
dozen places within the past year, the
latest of them being Lawton, in the
newly opened Indian country. Since
they will be after establishing a new
cemetery in Lawton shortly, probably
Jerry would be as much appreciated
there as anywhere else.

One Of the most tiresome and annoy
ing creatures evolved by modern
transportation in cities is the "end-seat

as he crawls on a car he drops imme-
diately into the first seat at the end
of the bench. and there he SITS no mat
ter how many persons have to get on
or off the car from that identical seat.
lie sticks his feet under the seat
ahead, and men, women and children
are forced TO. climb over his legs get
ting in or out. Not knowing the mean
ing of the term "politeness." the end
seat hog never gets out of the way He
thinks of nobody else's comfort or con-
venience, and apparently would rather
be despised than respected.

A News Service without Parallel.

There is ample justification for the
claim made by the Chicago Record
Herald that its readers.enjoy every day
in the week, Sundays included, news
service that is without parallel in range
aud completeness. The reason is OBJ
yious-the combination of the varied
and extensive facilities of the two great
dailies, The Chicago Record and The
Chicago Times-Herald. In addition to
to the independent news facilities OF
both papers, The Record Herald re-
ceives the complete news service OF
The New York Herald, The New York
Tribune and The Associated Press; and
when it is considered that its news
columns are supplementary all the
special features SO popular in The Chic
ago Record and The Chicago Times
Herald, it will be seen that The Record
Herald holds unique place among
the great newspapers of the United
States.

The Gubernatorial Campaign.

The political atmosphere in Iowa is
beginning to clear very materially as
the time for the convention approaches.
The candidates for the republican
gubernatorial nomination are beginn-
ing to develop strength, so that care
full observer can see the driftlof public
opinion among republicans.
None of the candidates thus far an
nounced seem to have made more
friends in their preliminary canvass
than has Senator J. III. Trewin of Ian
sing. He has made no enemies, his
campaign has engendered no apimos-
ity, his friends in their earnest support
of him have not attracted any OF the
other candidates, but have endeavored
10 show that at this time he is the best
man mentioned fl the high position
for which he aspires, and so the cam
paign has been one of good feeling and
so far as he and his friends are con-
cerned it will leave absolutely no sore
spots behind it.
Senator Trewin is above all..a man OF
the people. He was self educated and
his success in life has been carved out
through his own exertion. 0From
poor boy, driving..a team and holding
n scraper in excavating for the con
struction of one of our great railroad
lines, ne has come up by his own exer
ton along the stony path of the farm
hand, the country school teacher, tn
student working his way through col
lege to his present position. This ex
-perience has given him familiarit!
with the needs of the people, sympath.
for their trials and an earnest determin
alton to champion their rights. He
thus fully equipped to be governor
the people and for the people, an execu'
i've, broad-minded and liberal to ever.
one, but positive and answering il
his position in favor of exact justice t
all.
Not a single criticism of Senate
Trewin's record has appeared uurlh
this campaign, aud nothing can be sal
derogatory to him as a man, citize
or statesman. That he would max
D marvel governor cannot be disputed
That he would unite all elements
the party in harmonious and enthus
tic campaign is equally true. Shout
he receive the republican nomination
be will conduct campaign whic
will be vigorous, without bein
vitriolic; persuasive instead of abusiy
and one that would be above a
successful in maintaining for q
off year, the interest which WI
manifested in the great campaign
1900.
