Wealth An Elixir.

A colored editor of South Carolina
is OF the opinion that wealth is a racial
protection, that is to say, if the col
ored man secures wealth it will be
protection to him against many of
the abuses, trials and tribulations that
he is compelled to undergo while try-
ing to be citizen of the United States.
1t must be admitted that wealth is
quite an incentive to prompt protec-

Think 1t a Lie.

In the Ballard Union is told the story
of two Kansas farmers who traded
children, one giving a boy and a load
OF corn for a girl. 1t is said the
transaction was made matter of rec
ord. Without the slightest knowledge
OF the identity of the Unions inform
ant, there need not be the least hest
tation in denouncing him as a liar

The Sidney Independent is out with
long editorial advocating the build
ing of better roads in that county,
which is very appropriate, as it is
learned from those who have tried to
travel through that country that it
is practically roadless.
The Seattle Republican., 1902-04-04

Roosevelt informed Ex-Governor j. H.
McGraw, while recently in Washing
ton City, that there were altogether
too many men in this state trying to
serve personal ambitions and to the
detriment of the Republican party, and
that the sooner they stopped their
chickering's and get in line for party
harmony the better it would be for the
entire party. There is no doubt in the
correctness in the above statement,
and the Pie-maker suggests more har-
mony among the Republicans and
more ammunition exhausted on the
enemy instead of on each other. In
every county in this state there is a
dangerous political warfare going on
among the Republicans. Those coun-
ties that have representatives in con-
gress are fighting and contending
among themselves just the same as
those counties that have no repre-
sentatives in congress. For exam
pie, Pierce county has two represen-
tatives in congress, and yet a large
Republican faction in Pierce county
is doing everything in it's power to
defeat the denomination and election
OF both of them. The same is true
OF Spokane County. She has
her senator and she does not want
him, and so it goes in every county
in the state. 1t does seem that the Re-
publicans would use more common
Judgment in their political affairs and
let their disputes end at the primaries
and not take them to the polls. as
they have done in the past two cleo
tions in King county.
The president could have given his
advice to no better man than Governor
McGraw, for the governor knows what
political harmony means. If the Re-
publicans of the state of Washington
would listen to Governor McGraw's
advice there would not be the disputes
and chickering's in the party that are
common at present. In order for any
party to succeed it must have it's
leader and secondly it's lieutenants.

Going Too Rapidly.


When the Centralia Chronicle says
Governor Mcbride is laying the wires
for one of the strongest campaigns in
the history of. the state,' it tells the
plain truth without any frocks or
frills on it, but when it says 'the gov
ernor thus far has the approval of all
the voters and he is absolutely GER
tain of the next Republican nomina-
tion for governor" he at once drops
Off into dreaming, for no governor has
ever gotten the approval of all the
voters, and if Governor Mcbride has
succeeded in doing so in SO short a
time as he has been governor, there
is danger of him having the approval
of none when he actually needs them.

The Seattle Republican., 1902-04-04

1t is rather remarkable that the
Times should have been given the full
accounts of the Preston club in pref
erence to any of the Republican papers
in this city, and yet it was. The Sun
day Post-Intelligencer and the Wash
ingtonian, both Republican papers,
were not give an opportunity to print
the news about the Preston club on
Sunday, but the Times came out with
a long list of names, covering in the
neighbOrhOod of four columns, as to
the organization. RumOr has been fly
ing about the streets for the past
month, or ever since the last election,
that the Times would be Republican
in politics in the next campaign, and
that it would represent the Preston
Ankeny combine in the next senatorial
fight. How much of that is true the
Pie-maker is unable to say but the
move on the Preston people to have
the Times to publish the first an
nOuncement of their club would seem
TO indicate that there is more truth
than poetry in the assertion that the
Times is to be their organ in the COM
ing senatorial fight.

The Davenport Tribune is of the
opinion that James Hamilton Lewis
thinks that he is on the wrong side
OF the fence to get back again in Con-
gress." There is no doubt Of the fact,
but that he is on the wrong side of
the fence to ever get back to Congress,
and if he should get on the right side
of the fence even then it would be a
long time before he would get a show
tor be nominated for Congress on a Re-
publican ticket.

SerVlent to the leader, and the lead
er must be a man of an iron will,
shrewd and sagacious in political af-
fairs, and the rank and file must be
subservient to the whole, for if they
are not, then there is no probable show
of party success. By all means let
the Republicans benefit by the advice
from the president and bring about
political harmony in their ranks, even
| though leader be selected that they
do not wholly agree with.
The Pie-maker was in Portland,
! Oregon, one day this week, and hav-
ing a few acQuaintances that take an
active part in the political affairs of
that city, county and state, was sur
prised to find that the Republican
party of Portland was as much divid-
ed as the Republicans of King county
and perhaps even more SO. The Simon
+ Republicans, who were defeated at the
/ primaries not long since, openly bolt
ed the convention and will join issues
with the Democratic party and will
nominate an independent ticket for the
express purpose of defeating Harvey
Scott, the veteran editor of the Ore
gonian, for the election of United
States senator While the Republi-
cans of King county may have on vari-
GUS occasions quietly knitted their
party nominee, they have never as yet
bOlted a Republican convention and
openly assisted the Democrats in elect
ing an independent ticket. The Pie
maker suggests to the Republicans of
Portland, and especially to Editor
Scott that he has troubles of his own
and in the future it is suggested that
he keep his hands off of Washington
politics and settle his own political
troubles before seeking to settle that
of others
Perhaps John l.. Wilson will agree

On the role of the Preston club is to
be found the name of Hon. John h.
McGraw, and among Mr.. Preston S
most ardent advocates the ex-governor
takes the lead. The Pie-maker re-
members that few years ago a SIM
liar club was organized in the inter
ests of Governor McGraw's senatorial
candidicy and Harold Preston was the
leading figure in the club. In fact, he
was it's president and its sponsor in
general. The fate of that club and
its political sire is too well known in
this state and county to be recounted
in this connection. Suffice is to say
that Governor McGraw was not elect
ed United States senator, and not only
was not elected United States senator,
but has completely dropped out of poll
tics since that time, save as a per-
sonal advisor, of which the state boasts
of no better Now it is to be the irony
of fate that the Preston club is to
serve its master as did the McGraW
club serve it's master years ago. The
shrewdest and most sagaciOus politi-
clans in the state of Washington now
agree and agreed at the time that the
McGraw senatorial club of 1896 did
John H. McGraw more political harm
than any other political move that had
ever been made in his interest since
he had been conspicuous in the politi-
cal affairs of the state. 1t drew the
center of fire on him and King county
being the largest county, the factions
all over the state combined against her
and SO completely overthrow her in Re-
publican politics that she has not as
yet recovered from the effects. While
the Pie-maker is not doing much pre-
dieting as to the outcome Of the Pres
ton club, yet it looks as though politi-
cal history in this state might repeat
itself, and that Mr.. Preston has al
lowed his over-zealOus friends to do
the right thing at the wrong time, or
the wrong thing at the right time.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
FORMER SILVER REPUBLICAN WITH
THE ADMINISTRATION.
TOwn-Cther Guests at indiana

B. F. Ibach, a prominent lawyer Of Ham
mond. at the Hotel English for lunch
yesterday. He was a lifelong Democrat
until the first Cleveland administration,
and then he left the party, feeling that he
could not reconcile his views with those
advanced by Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Ibach re-
manned with the Republicans until 1896
when, with other free-silver Republicans,
he left the party to support Bryan. While
he did not care to discuss politics yesterday
Mr.. Ibach declared that he proposed TO sup
port the Roosevelt administration, and he
also declared himself supporter Of Repre-
sentative Crumpacker, of the Tenth dis
trict In a talk which he had yesterday
with DR.. +. j. Van Vorhis and Worth
Wright, two silver Republicans Of Indian
apolis, Mr.. Ibach made the declaration that
all silver Republicans should support Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his administI alton. Mr..
1bach asserts that such Republicans as
Roosevelt and Crumpacker represent his
idea of a Lincoln Republican. Referring TO
the gold Democrats, he says he sees no oc-
casion for IAN annex to the Republican
party.

"GASTON AND ALPHONsO."
John w. Cravens and r. e. Corr in
Very Polite Politics.

John w. Cravens, registrar Of the State
University, was in town yesterday. Cra-
vens was one of the popular Democratic
members of the last Indiana House Of Rep
resentatives, and is being talked of in con-
nection with the joint senatorship OF Mon
roe, Greene and Brown counties. Elmer z.
Corr, of Bloomington, is also being dis
cussed in connection with this senatorship.
With Cravens and Corr it is a sort of case
of After you my dear Alphonso." Cravens
wants Corr to be a candidate and Corr
wants Cravens to run. Neither wants to be
in the others way and one will not be
candidate If the other will consent TO be.
After the Second district convention in
which Cyrus E. Davis was defeated for the
Congressional nomination, il was said he
could have the joint senatorship from Mon
roe, Greene and Brown counties If he de-
sired it. 1t is understood the district is
still ready to give him the nomination but
il is also said that he does not want it. AS
the situation now stands IL appears that it
is up" TO Cravens or Corr to take the
place. II is possible that they may
tinue the Castor and Alphonso' business
until some one else steps in and secures
the nomination.

Reports from Over the State.

Governor Durbin had before him yester-
day afternoon summary of the smallpox
cases in "a counties, including all the river
counties except Floyd. in which there is
not a case. These reports show that there
were on the last day of May, go cases. In
the same counties April 80 there were 5SI
cases, a falling off Of 81 cases during the
month of May. These figures do not in

cases May 81. compared with 50 cases the
last day of April. Thirty-five counties had
327 cases May 81, compared with 66T cases
April 80.
rather serious condition has been re-
ported in Franklin county this week and
DR.. Ferguson has gone to look after it,.
There is number of cases in Lafayette
and in Adams county. One of the difficult
ties about the smallpox is that physicians
do not agree in their diagnosis OF the dis
ease. In Saltillo and Leipsic, Washington
county, smallpox was reported to the local
board of health. When it was looked up
two of the three cases were found In ply
sicians' houses, and they called the dis
ease chicken-pox. An official who was
looking after the cases in English, Craw-
ford county, found four men playing cards
in an abandoned mill. Two of them were
well broken out, the third had partly re-
covered, and the fourth an old soldier de-
clared that he would not get il because he
had been vaccinated in the army
Governor Durbin is receiving many let
tiers from the counties IN Wnlch smallpox
has been reported informing him that it
is passing away and that there is no dan
ger of its spreading. The local boards of
health are following the instructions of the

been made 10 him since January He took

conditions were not such, in his opinion.

epidemic fund. He is now convinced from
the official reports received since May 81
that his decision al that time was right
as the law contemplated the using of that
fund only when the disease becomes cpl
demic beyond the control OF the local au-
thorities.

stated that the secretary OF war has d.
rected Capt. William Scott, quartermaster,
now in Washington. to visit the Indianepo-
lis arsenal and assume charge, under in
structions from the cuartermaster general

Gently arrived in San Francisco from the
