STILL TREKING AFTER TRACY.

-
Chicago Record Herald: Bandit Tracy
is beginning to have imitators, and no
doubt feels much fattered.
St. Paul Globe: Mr.. Tracy rises to re-
mark that the reports of his capture have
been greatly exaggerated.
Washington Post: Mr.. Harry Tracy has
incidentally ruined the reputation Of .
large bunch Of northwestern sheriffs.
Seattle Post In~telligenceri The real way
to catch Tracy would be TO set Major Pond
after him to secure . booking for = lecture
tour.
Philadelphia Press: The outlaw Tracy IL
not the lone-sought democratic issue, but
he Is tust Is hard to get hold Of as n he
we're.
Baltimore Herald: Mr.. Tracy still con.
tinues to elude the On1cers without contrib
uting TO the maintenance Of q half dozen
Canadian lawyers.
Boston Herald: Outlaw Tracy's move
ments are all so we'll timed 1t seems prob
able that his watch must be of the perfect
lever escapement pattern.
Nashville American: Mr.. Harry Tracy
Is making a strong race in the west. in
spite Of active opposition, but the chances
are that he will finally be counted put.
New York Mail and Express: The new
type Of western outlaw seems to be capable
Of innumerable subdivisions of himself.
There is q Tracy behind every bush in
Oregon.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: Outlaw Tracy
Is cutting down his advertising expenses,
and pretty soon he will begin to realize
how soon the man who doesn't advertise is
forgotten.
Washington Star: Owing to his ambition
to be considered q worse man than Tracy,
q Californian has made trouble for the po-
lice. There Ii no telling when and how
professional jealousy will assert itself.

Papers published In the Twin Cities
are predicting that the Transmississippi
congress, soon to meet In st. Paul, will
have an attendance Of 1900 delegates.
We make bold to predict that not 500
delegates from outside of Minnesota will
be in attendance. The Transmississippi
congress, while It may once have ex-
erted some influence and maintained a
fair standing, has woefully fallen down
in recent years until It is a decrepit in
stitution, scarcely able to muster a cor
poral's guard of live members. If 1t
can't regenerate itself the best thing
1t can do is to disband.

How the action of the Iowa repub-
lieans reasserting their platform dec
laratlon on the tariff of last year con-
stitutes a rebuke of the administration,
as our popocratic friends try to make
out, passes comprehension. The Iowa
platform Of last year was written by
Director Of the Mint Roberts, then and
now a member OF the administration
family, and nothing was discovered in
1t at that time dlscordant with the
policy Of President Mckinley, which
has been consistently adopted and fol-
lowed by President Roosevelt.

What is supposed to be a peculiar
hardship inflicted by the primary cleo
ton law has been disclosed in Mime
sofa, where the attorney general has
ruled that a judge on the bench elected
as a democrat, but now seeking nomina-
ton as a republican, cannot vote for
himself or for other candidates for
places on the republican ticket at the
impending primaries. The reason is
that having changed his party utilization
within the year, the judge is still re-
corded as a democrat and barred from
participation in the selection of repub-
lican candidates. We have the same
provision of law in Nebraska, at least
in cities requiring registration, and no
one can see any special hardship in 1t.
Every voter has the undisputed right
to cross or recross party lines as often
as he chooses, but the demand for at
least a years probation before admis-
sion to the party organization is not I'M
reasonable. Quite the contrary, 1t is the
only safeguard for the integrity of the
political party, otherwise wholesale con-
versions from the opposition might die
tate its policy and nominees with a view
to defeat rather than success. The
Minnesota judge oughtSto feel thankful
that the republicans are willing to con-
slider him for denomination when the
democratic label is yet scarcely enaeed.

Selling Abroad at COST.
Philadelphia Press.

Is It a crime to sell q certain percentage
Of a mills products abroad at cost? Let
US see. A mill running at full time, for
instance. might be able to produce a larger
quantity Of goods than It could find a mar
ket for in the United States. Suppose It
sells the surplus abroad at cost. That
keeps the mill running at full time. gives
employment to a larger number OF men with

Antl-ImperiaIist MISREPRESENTATION:

ITrAoKlNg SBCRETARY ROOT

The New York Times characterizes
as the meanest part of the recent anti
imperiaiist manifesto the attack upon
Secretary Of War Root. 1t points out
that the manifestants are careful to
distinguish and associate the secretary
from the president, whose agent and or
gan he officially and legally is, and says
that "in fact, II any specific purpose
could be ascribed to the manifesto, 1t
might be said to be directed to the pur-
pose OF forcing Mr.. Root out Of the cab
met"
II that was the purpose in attacking
the secretary of wal it is entirely safe
to say that not only will 1t fail, but the
probable effect of the attack will be to
give Secretary Root a stronger claim to
the confidence and respect of the coun-
try, since 1t may result in disclosing
facts even more creditahle to the
course Of the secretary of war IN re-
gard to affairs in the Philippines than
those now known. However personally
worthy the anti-imperialists who signed
the MANIFESTO, they VIII not De able 10
convince any considerable number Of
the American people that Mr.. Root has
not conscientiously and judiciously per-
formed his duty in connection with Phil
ippine affairs. All that he has done was
necessarily with the knowledge and ap-
prevail Of President Mckinley and
President Roosevelt, so that they must
share in any condemnation of the sec
rotary of a
Mr.. Root is an able, faithful and con-
scientious official. He has had a great
task as secretary of war and in its per
Torrance he has enjoyed the implicit
confidence Of two presidents. The anti
imperialist attack upon him will be
harmless and ought to make him
stronger In the popular respect.
