fertilizer materials are higher, the
prices of seed should be advanced

GET TOGETHER

The approach of the municipal cam
paign in Worcester makes the Repub
licans face another difficult situation.
The mistake of last year ought not to
be repeated The independent spirit
of the voters of Worcester has been
shown so frequently in the past fifteen
years that there must be no trifing
with it. No nomination for mayor is
equivalent to an election.
Mayor O'ConnelI win be renominated.
While he lacks the hearty support of
the leaders of his party, that very dis
satisfaction of theirs win tend to
strengthen him with the independent
Republicans who elected him. To de-
feat Mr.. O'Connell the Republicans
must nominate a candidate who is evil
IDENTIFY stronger than Mr.. O'Connell
Under the new caucus system it should
be possible to select a satisfactory can
didate for mayor. The candidate
should be named by the people, not by
the newspapers, not by the political
leaders, not by the candidates personal
friends
If the proper leadership were dis
played in the Republican party the Re
publicans Of the city should nominate
a man who would unite the friends of
Mr.. Walker, Mr. Washburn, Mr.. Lyle
and Mr.. Bachelder-all factions-under
the same banner.
If it is not possible to effect harmony
it might be a wise course to give Mr.
O'Connel both the Democratic and
Republican nominations and postpone
the settlement of internal differences in
the party until next year when con-
gresham must be nominated. These
factional fights get worse the longer
they are continued

PERHAPS THEY ARE JEALOUS

President Roosevelt for entertaining dinner Booker t.

The first dispatches announcing that southern feeling had been

amazement Memphis blamed for exhibition of yellow

THE BUSINESS OF PoLIrIcs

Mr. Bryan is making politics his
business. His paper is purely political
in tone. He is stumping the state of
Nebraska for the Democratic party
That is right.
The strength of Tammany Hall rests
in the fact that so many Tammany
men make a business of politics. It is
quite possible that if the people of the
United States looked on the business of
politics in a different light. the towns
and cities, states and nation would be
better governed If young men were
taught to adopt politics as a career and
the public learned to support at the
polls men of ability seeking a political
career, we believe the result would be
increased economy of government, less
dishonesty and grating that now dis
grace American cities.

PALACE CARA TOKEN OF ESTEEM

The stockholders of a western brew
ing concern have set a new example in
the fashion of gifts by presenting to the
president of the concern a palace car,
completely equipped, which is said to
be the finest private car ever turned out
of the Pullman shops. Its cost was
$4,000. It is finished in English oak,
mahogany and golden oak. There is a
dining room. sixteen feet long, a bed
chamber, six smaller sleeping compart-
ments, an Office and observation room,
and bathroom and kitchen. The car
also has its own electric light plant
Eleven persons, exclusive of the crew
can be provided with sleeping accom-
modations.
With such a precedent as this staring
them in the face. stockholders of other
great companies may think twice be-
fore voting to remember the president
with some token indicating apprecia-
ton of his services. On the other
hand, should the spirit of rivalry mani
fest itself there is no foreseeing what
the result viii be. Perhaps an entire
train of cars will become the fashion
able gift of the future.

Neither the Japanese marquis nor the

is it to be inferred that because they

All the reports that reach us from the

Homes, churches and schoolhouses

EDITORIAL COMMENT

BY great good fortune both New
York and Philadelphia together face
at the election two weeks from today
a struggle for municipal reform and
the defeat of a municipal machine.
The New York machine is called
Democratic. The Philadelphia machine
is called Republican. They are in ma
ture the same. AS Mr. David H. Lane
has admitted in an incautious speech,
both machines are after the offices as
spoils, and both are using the same
methods. The leaders in each are
working for their own pockets all the
time" Both are corrupt. Both are
corrupting the police. Both depend on
fraudulent votes. New York Tammany.
