The meeting was held in the new executive on

to change the policy the State Department mas

One. rather pathetic incident connected with the
abolition of the White House conservatories. made
necessary by the recent renovation Of the Presi-

A JAUgTY RUIN.

The Hon. Tom L. johnson comedies that he
is encouraged by the large Democratic gains
in CuyahOga" If Mr.. JOhnson's recent ac-
tivities included the laying of highly produc-
tive wage-s on the vote in that part of Ohio his
encouragement is susceptible of explanation.
Otherwise we fear he is merely prolonging
after the election the jocund pretences with
which he tried to arouse the sleepy echoes
during the campaign.
MOrtals are kindly disposed toward cheer
full loser, and the Fates sometimes make
note OF him for future reference. But we don't
believe they will ever undertake the dismal and
onerous task of repairing the political fortunes
OF a man who has been beaten by about hun
bred thousand votes in an attempt TO convince
an intelligent community that an automobile
is JeffersOnian. a brass band craftsmanship
and a three cent fare the summit Of human
felicity.

Guided the whole continent from Cape JUDY to
Cape Guardafui. AS a matter Of sentiment, the
Portuguese may we'll dislike such partitioning.
But practical business interests dictate it as
sound policy. The one other power interested
is France. She has lately conquered and an
nexed Madagascar, and she would undoubtedly
be better pleased to have Portugal continue TO
own the opposite shore of the Mozambique
Channel than to have Great Britain and Ger
many divide it between them. 1t does not
appear. however, that France is acting in the
matter. Her recent acquisition of half of what
remained of Siam is probably enough for her
ambition and for her digestion at the present
time Besides, the Mozambique Channel is
$50 miles wide at its narrowest part 1t is
therefore doubtful II any French opposition is
offered to whatever schemes the British, Ger
man and Portuguese governments may have in
hand.

WANTED: A LEADER.

Democrats who have been hoping TO see
leader emerge from the campaign Just past
everywhere confess themselves disappointed.
The task OF piecing together the broken frag
ments of their party and making a strong, re-
spectacle and respected opposition appears as
hopeless now as at any time in the last six
years. In some quarters In the East, owing TO
more or less local causes, the Democrats made
some gains, but they were overwhelmed in the
West by an exhibition OF enthusiasm for the
President and contentment with Republican
policies which offers no ground for expecting
any revival OF Democracy from that quarter.
Such gains as have been made in the East place
emphasis on no leadership and no principles as
the hope Of further progress.
In one State conservative doctrines were
ayowed: IN another appeals were made to the
support % socialists One State platform cut
loose from anfiimperialsm and another stuck
10 II. Tariff reform was emphasized in some
places and aroused no interest In others. No
matter how much they may want TO get to-
gether again, the old adherents OF a practically
disrupted Democracy have no common body of
living issues about which they can agree, and
no inspiring living leader about whom they can
rally, When they stop to talk OF the situation
they can merely lament for the dead. One
writer the other day. after surveying the field

Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were living, pro
vided they could recognize in the socialist
tainted organization called Democracy any

structiOn. But neither Jefferson nor Jackson
nor Russell win come back. The Democracy
must search among the living for generals 10
marshal its hosts. and so far 70 searches In
vain. The Republicans have an inspiring and
vital leadership IN President Roosevelt and are
going on 20 face new problems. They are liy-
ing problems. on which men may differ. and the
lines should be drawn so that both sides OF the
questions may be thrasbed out squarely. There
ought TO be sound and sober opposition with
convictions instead Of a ragtag and bobtail
whose only principles are dissent for the sake
pf dissent from Republican measures, no matter
what they are. Yet no such opposition seems
about 20 crystalline. and no leader capable OF
creating living national Democracy appears
Even Bill, who might have led living If So
rialistic and demagogic party, is now discred-
tied. Looking over the whole country. there is

party ever presented, and it is not one which

ONE CENT POHTAGE

The revenues of the postal department are
increasing so rapidly that predictions of one
cent stamps for letters are heard in many
quarters. II cannot be doubted that the balv-
ing OF the present rate would be popular and
would bring about huge additions to the total
OF letters sent through the mails Penny most
age long ago was hailed with jubilation in
Great Britain, as it well might be.
The English penny is worth about two of our
Yankee cents. but so many things are now
sold in this country for a cent apiece that the
public welcome to letter stamps costing one
cent each would be general and emphatic
Postal cards are unsatisfactory substitutes for
sealed envelopes. May the era of one cent
postage for every part OF American territory
soon be here

and the cry arises on all hands that II is time
to leave a land so inhospitable. A survey Of
the political situation meanwhile reveals the
fact that with only four million inhabitants
they have seven governors. fourteen parlia-
ments six general agents. hfty-five ministers.
769 members of parliament. and administration
officials in corresponding numbers. There is loud
popular outcry against a governmental estab-
lishment costly and topheavy and with so
little control over the average rainfall and the
assertion that only the vultures and office
holders have been able to do paying BUSH
less since the drouth began has much evil
