There's Fitness in It.

While the efforts to make it appear
that President Roosevelt has expressed a
preference as to congressional candidates
in this district are absolutely false. and
palpably ridiculous, it would be a fitting
expression of local sentiment toward him
and strong Endorsement of his admins
tration by this district to nominate for
congress a man like Mr.. Hay, who is In
thorough accord with the president Aon
Cuban reciprocity, the trusts, and other
national issues. and whose record in this
particular will require no explanation.

When the Real Fight Comes.

The primary campaign is a preliminary
skirn1ish. The real battle in this con-
gressional district this time is to come
after the 10th Of September. The district
is compact and easily accessible in every
part. Public discussion may be made to
reach every, section and republicans must
not be less effectively armed and equipped
for that contest than the possibilities will
permit. =
This district has not heard the issues Of
the day, the great questions of the hour,
the matters upon which the people Of the
district must so to the ballot box and cas-,
their votes next November, so ably dis
crssed for many years as they have been
presented to- thems &. il's1ring the past two
rnonths by Mr.. Hay. ssaaa ~ ,s.&s2as. 4.
sNanifestly this ssysbrk must be.done by
the candidate. Nobody can do it for him.

Es{f -
Pessimistic republicans and shrewd
democrats are doing their best to make
us ~belive that republican contests for
nominations at the. primaries will not be
forgotten afterward and that, in the Bit
terness of some Of the present contests,
be found the seeds of republican de-
feat. We had bitter contests for nomina-
tons before we ever had a primary law,
yet the republican party in this state gen
orally managed to pull itself together and
take about everything in sight. 1t is true
that the fact that the individual voters
are now taking hand in the contests may
make the. situation somewhat different
now. But it would be we'll to await one
years experience before coming to a con-
clusion on this point. ssa,-s-,. .-~a. q.

Jones' .Prognostics.

Senator Jones of Arkansas chairman OF
the democratic national committee, ex-
presses the belief that Colonel Bryan will
have more influence in shaping the action
Of the democratic national convention III
1904 than any other democrat -. 81 p:
Judging from the Endorsements given by
state democratic conventions to the Kan
sas City platform, which is a., piece OF
Bryan architecture, Senator Jones would
appear to be hardly accurate from the
present outlook. --r.- :..~s. -
The states which have SO far Endorsed
the Kansas City platform are Kansas,
Maine, Arkansas, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio,
South Dakota, Texas and Tennessee.
The states which have not Endorsed or
have declined to mention the Kansas City
platform in any way are North Dakota,
Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ore
mont, Mississippi, wyoming and Iowa. By
the action Of the recent Ohio democratic
convention, which was a kind of "you
tickle me and I'll tickle you" affair be-
tween Tom Johnson and Bryan, the whole
Bryan movement has been surrendered to
the keeping and management Of Tom
johnson. who has started out with his
circus tent and brass band to toot and
spout for the good Of the Bryanite anti
reorganization element Of the democratic
party, which means that the sleek and
unctious Tom has program 81 his own,
even to WOO the presidential nomination
from the democratic national convention
in 1904, receiving the powerful support Of
the Nebraska purveyor- Of fads, who has
twice been defeated at presidential cleo
lions. Tom johnson himself is man of
fade. - RI. ~.
Johnson cannot possibly be adopted by
the democratic reorgani2ers as COM
promise candidate. Johnson has started
on his circus tent and brass band cam
paign waving the Kansas City platform
in the air, and the Bryan organs are de-
handing with new vigor that this plat
form must be accepted by the reorganizers
or they will continue. to be placed under
the ban Of accommodation. And yet
Senator Jones says that the need of adj
vocating the free and unlimited coinage
of silver has "vanished,' at the same time
swallowing his Kansas City platform
medicine like a. little mani The demo-
cratic reorganizers, who profess to be de-
sirous Of placing their party on a modern,
| progressive basis, have made some gains,
in that so many democratic state conven-
lions have declined to fall down and wor-
ship the Kansas City fetch, but, unless
there are more revolutionary changes than
are now visible in the democratic party.
they will be confronted in 1904 by a group
of radicals who will utilize the two
thirds rule to prevent the nomination OF
fany reorganizer. .-- = 5s..

School Buildings and Teachers.

Elsewhere in T h e Journal to-day
cuss their estimate Of the amount of
money required to operate and enlarge the
public school: system of Minneapolis dur
ing 1908.
Whatever may be said about the Wis
dom or unwisdon of the manner in which
the board has expended it's appropriations
in the past, two facts are Gear now.
Buildings must be provided to accom-
modate the steady increase in the number
of pupils, which now runs about 1000
ahead Of the capacity.
Competent teachers must be engaged
to instruct the children. 'r...' ... .-. -.
These facts being admitted, it follows
that large amount of money must be
expended for new buildings and that the
salary list must be increased every year,
and the rate, sometimes, raised. .-4=
The board asks for an appropriation
of 100000 for new buildings. This does
not seem extravagant. The only real
| raised by taxation or a bond issue. The
board prefers direct taxation, but, If the
board of tax levy differs with it, will
ask the council for a 100000 issue OF
bonds. In this alternative the amount IS
made $200,00O because it will have to
cover two years-since the bonds must be
voted by the people. That is all there is
| to the dreadful threat the school board has
made to the board of tax levy, as viewed
| by contemporary.
The board asks for $50, 900 to be used
in increasing the rate of pay of teachers.
This is aside from an increase Of $780, 900
made necessary by a longer payroll at pre-
vailing rates. Salaries are so low now
that the board has great difficulty In
getting the required number of passable
teachers and is utterly unable to pick the
best available. tt is also compelled, by
the impossiblfity of getting enough new
! teachers at present salaries. to retain
some incompetent ones.
1t is understood that the increase of pay
| is to be confined to the grades and largely
placed in the primary department, thus
insuring some teachers an increase of as
much as 10 per cent though the whole
amount to be, devoted to increases in
! salaries is only 5 per cent of the total
| amount that would be paid out on the ex-
listing salary basis. . In view of the in
creased cost of living alone, the smaller
| salaries should be increased That is JUS

could do as much good by writing fiction

which he was the editor, In short story

than the attendance. Years of prosperity
