There was frightful wreck at
Middleport Sunday afternoon. A
commuter carrying the laborers
from Hobson to Middleport jump
ed the track and rolled over an en-
bankment and it was fortunate that
it did not roll in the river. The
cars were crowded and that no one
was killed is miraculous. It struck
a shanty boat lying at the waters
edge.

The Pnre FOOD Law.

A pure food law is all right if it
is gotten up strictly in the interest
of the health of the people, rather
than to make fat fees for the officers
who are to execute it. If it is to
be weighted down with vexatious,
it will prove a burden.

Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Spooner.

The spectacle of Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas. democrat, on the stump in Wisconsin
advocating the reelection of Senator Spoon
er, a republican, would be novel in the
extreme. 1t will not of course be presented
That Mr.. Jones admires Mr.. Spooner is
but natural. He has served with him in
the Senate. and witnessed some of his tri-
umphs in debate. He knows the Importance
OF such man to his party in such an as
sembly- But between an expression of such
appreciation in conversation and an actual
stumping tour is a distance as great as
could we'll be imagined. Mr. Jones posi-
tion Is that Of every well-conditioned man
with large political experience. Where an
office is under the control of the opposition
party he wants to see 1t filed with an able
representative of that party When both
parties put forward their strongest men.
and reward them by keeping them in COM

An August War Cloud.

The Berlin newspaper which has taken
seriously the latest canard about a war
between the United States and Germany
over the Monroe doctrine misses one point
OF value 1t was considerable of the war
makers TO give notice far in advance
II Germany cannot get ready for a conflict
oy 1907 she must be a slow coach. And If
with a five years notice she should prove
unable To show US at the cannons mouth
Just what a mistake the Monroe doctrine is
1t will be but fair then to expect her to
cease all opposition to it. and let US guide
BY It as We may see fit. This seems to be
the position taken by those correspondents
who in midsummer find the pen. If not
mlghtier than the sword. a very useful in
strumenc for stirring up mankind.
The Monroe doctrine, it is safe to say. is
in no immediate danger of being challenged
by any power. 1t was never before so well
understood as it is today, and never so
much respected at home and abroad It's
assertion in the case of Venezuela revealed
10 all powers how ardently the American
people were devoted TO the policy, and it's
acceptance by Great Britain at that time
was In the nature of warning to her Euro
pean neighbOrs. When the controversy
with Spain arose a distinct feature of il
was the We'll understood attitude of the
nitsd states with respect to Cuba Spain
was not to be permitted under any circun1-
stances 10 transfer her sovereignty over the
island 10 any OF her neighbors II the day
OF her rule in Cuba was to end, the island
must be free, or come under the sovereignty
OF the United States. Europe was opposed
TO the war. but when the war began she
offered no protest to the Teller resolution.
which asserted the right Of this government
TO decide the future OF Cuba
The United States is not alarmed at the
strengthening Of Germany on the sea
Neither does our policy Of STRENGTHENING
ourselves on the sea. or on our coast line
convey any special warning to anybodv
our interests are very great and are grow
ins. and In enlarging our preparations To
defend them We are doing no more than
recognize the law Of political being o,r
coat tails have not been heightened an inch
since the war with Spain. and nobody is he
ing invited TO tread on them Nothing in
deed, Is quite SO harmless or diyertjue at
this time as speculation about war between
two powers SO friendly. and with so manv
reasons to be friendly. as the United States
and Germany.

Democratic Lament.
From the Baltimore Sun


Since the free silver sentiment took pos
session of the democratic machinery in
1896 the party has almost disappeared from
the northern states, except as an unrep-
resented minority. Upon the south, there
fore, has devolved the responsibility of
sustaining party prestige and standing.
twenty-five years ago we had such repre-
sentatives from the south Alex. II. Ste
phens, Judge Crisp and Benjamin H Hill
of Georgia. Proctor Knott and John G. Car

Wade Hampton Of South Carolina, ]. H.

Lane and William 7. Hamilton of Mary
land, l.. Q. c. Lamar Of Mississippi. From
the north there were Thurman and Pendle-
ton of Ohio and Bayard and Salisbury of
Delaware. and other men Of distinguished
ability to represent the party There are in
the party. both north and south, as good
men as there were a quarter of a century
ago. That the south does not do as well
as it did may be due to local political con-
ditions, or it may be due to some extent to
the revival Of business in that section which
keeps many Of the active men at home
There is no reason for the growing dlsin-
clination of leading men to enter the House

The Afternoon Newspaper.
ON the Chicago Evening Post.

FROM the th1cHgo Evening PoSt.
The splendid growth of the evening pa
per is. however in complete accord with
the fitness and reason of things. We are a
busy and strenuous people. We go to work
early, and have no time in the morning for
newspaper reading. We glance at the head
lines. read hastily few items, and turn
to the order Of the day" Who can stop
to assimilate the editorial comments the
book reviews, the dramatic and musical
notices. the correspondence, etc, of a
morning paper? Even If the evening papers
did not print first the greater proportion Of
the news. they would be valued for their
departments. editorials and elaboration of
the news. The morning paper is a neces-
sity OF modern existence. the evening paper
is comfort, joy and a blessing. Neces-
saries we accept as matter of course; /;
the comforts and luxuries of civilization
we appreciate and cherish. To progressive
people luxuries are the real necessaries Of
life.
Men who think. study and digest tho
recorded news of the day-political. liter
airy. Industrial artistic-may take" any
number Of papers. but they read a good
afternoon paper which prints all the fit
news, and honestly, nationally and can
didly comments upon it.
