Bitterness in the House.

In the House. it is true, there was more bitterness But the general feeling even there was that the party needed more votes in the North and East. and that both sides should make concessions fo get them. The leaders say that the Demo- crats have been on the range long enough, and it is time they should get in and be- come stall-fe stock.
 Clevelands speech has really put the Democratic members in a better mood than the defeat which President Roose- welt has just received from his own pary ty It makes them feel more confident than ever of victory in November. The next House will be composed of 3S6 mem bers, and consequently l9i will constitute majority. It is expected that at least half of the Republicans now in Con gress from the Southern States, fourteen in number, will be replaced by Demo- crats, and it is. therefore, safe to predict that the Solid South will start the Demo- cratic column off with at least 124 votes in the House. Tho fight will, therefore, be to secure the other seventy.
 There were forty Democratic members returned from the Eastern and Middle States without crossing the Mississippi River last election, notwithstanding the Republican land slide against Bryan. It Is therefore reasonable to believe that after shelving the financial question which caused the trouble, an equal number and probably more can be returned next November

Although some misfortune has at
tended the completion of the demo-
cratic city-township ticket, especial
~ in view of the fact that ii pos
sessed such distinct elements of
strength as originally composed,
those of the party representatives
who have accepted the nominations
with which the convention honored
them. are proving strong factors for
the success of the party i'm the forth
coming election. The chances are
that not only are the township NOM
inees likely To- win. but that the al
dermanic ticket will be likewise sue
cessful throughout the city. In the
different wards the aldermanic nom
inees. Frank W. Blochlinger i'm the
First. Carl Naab i'm the Second. Otto
III. Birkel i'm the Third. c. w. Horton
in the Fourth. William Trefz i'm the
Fifth. and Charles {. Wilson in the
Sixth. are making splendid impress
sions. and the people seem determin-
ed to insure to the city the advan-
tages of a more representative council
than could be expected of one entire
ly under the influence of single
party.
Although one party may be in the
minority it is admitted by all con-
servative citizen of whatever poIjt-
ical organization that IL is essential
10 good government that there he
some political division in the compo-
sition of every lawmaking body. As
has been stated heretofore the franz
ers of the constitution of Illinois
recognized this fact when provision
was made for the certainty of minor
ity representation in the Legislature.

Not Wise Move.

The plan that has been proposed of
providing that retiring presidents
shall become United States senators
for life has it's objections. While it
is quite in keeping with the American
idea of government that former pres
idents may serve in the upper branch
of congress if duly chosen in accord
ance with the constitutional provis-
ions. il is hardly in keeping with the
spirit of the fathers of the republic
that life tenure of office be given
the incumbent of either the executive
or Legislative branches of the gov
ernment. The eX-president may serve
in the senate or i'm any other office
the same as any citizen. but il should
not be essential that he serve.
The chief beauty of the American
form of government is that the hold
er of a public office. regardless of its
rank. is servant of the people,
amenable to the people and subject to
removal by them. and the president,
the same as any other public official.
goes back To the walks of private cit
izenship when he has completed his
term.
The plan of making provision for a
life job for the president is n decided
tendency toward the establishment of
4 house of lords. and would be very
apt To lead eventually to . life term
in the White House. And then

But One Way TO Look Att.

The treasury is exhibiting statis-
ties. such as they are. to show how
much was paid for exporting Ameri-
can products in foreign ships. What
the statistics do not show is the fact
that much more would have been paid
for suipping these American exports
on any other than the existing COM
petitive system. The champions of
subsidy appear to entertain the alb
surd notion that the English. Ger
man and French consumers of Ameri-
can products will abandon the ships
of their own nationality for the sub
sidized fleet that is expected TO arise
under. this bill. y reduction of the
low rates for ocean freights under
the subsidy bill can be accomplished
only at cost Of millions of money
To- American taxpayers.
The subsidy bill j. simply robbing
the people of 5000 100000 to fattrn Il
few wealthy monopolies. That's the
plain English of il. and nobody m-
derstands this better than its earn
est promoters in the senate. No one
knows IL half as well as Mark Hanna.

COnicaI. Indeed.

When Publisher Hearst launched

purpose Of featuring il with comic
colored supplements such a. had sue
ceSsfully chara acterized his New York
Journal and his san Francisco EN-
aminer. the other journals of Chi

up their hands in horror. SenSa-
tional journalism Of the Hearst style
would never go in Chicago. they said.
As far aS the coIored supplement be-
coming an essential adjunct to the re-
spectacle metropolitan press. that
WAS out of the question. they said.
The position of these representatives
of the old time newspaper was doubt
less correct. as far as the necessary
part Of il was concerned. But for
some reason the older papers did not
have the courage 10 stand by their
convictions. II was not long before

whether they are funny jokes or noD.
is the alI-absorbing topic. Even the
news of the day is neglected for these
painted supplements. The latest fad
is the magic ink" page. The New
York Commercial in speaking of these
supplemnts, presents suggestion
for the metropolitan papers in the
following little story:
What will the Sunday newspapers
get up next - asked one of party of
married men. all of whom had had
their tooth brushes ruined by their
children dipping them into the Sun
day newspaper paint pots. when
they fix things so that you only just
have TO wet the paper and get a pot
of paint, it's getting along pretty
far
'Oh. that amounts to nothing" was
the reply from the sad-faced man
with the red nose. Il have an idea
for Sunday paper-and the paper
that adopts il will be the first of
any newspaper i'm New York. They
should get out what I would call a
beer supplement- and have IL fixed
so that all you would have TO do
would he to- tear off coupon throw
il into glass of water. and have it
turn at once into a glass of beer.
With everything closed up tight on
Sundays. we must have something of
the kind. I'd take such paper regu-
larly. even If il didn't throw in a
jumpipg-jack and rag-time song"
