POLITICAL DRIFT.

David b. Hill is not saying a word, but is
doing a powerful lot OF fence mending.
Tom Johnson's political tent has been
lined with asbestos so as to withstand the
ravages of hot air.
The democrats of Delaware have turned
their backs on the sacred platforms Of 1896
and 1900. Common sense is giving hysteria
a cold shake these melancholy days.
Under the new election law of Maryland
party emblems to distinguish the candidates
upon the official ticket have been abolished.
Maryland was one Of the early states to
adopt them.
The liberal democrats, or Bryanites, in
New York declared themselves in their
platform in favor OF the establishment
of an agricultural school by the state for
dependent children"
The New York Herald has hoisted this
political pennant: "The peoples antitrust
candidate for 19O4-for president, Theodore
Roosevelt of New York; for vice president,
George Dewey of Vermont"
George Thornton Beck, whom the Wyo-
ming democrats have nominated for gov
ernor, is a business associate and chum of
Buffalo Bill" a son Of the lamented Sem
ator Beck of Kentucky and a great-grand-
nephew of George Washington.
For the first time in the history Of
Vermont a Roman Catholic priest has
been elected to the legislature in the per-
son of Rev. d. j. O'Sullivan, who was the
successful candidate for tow representa-
tive from ST. Adams, VT. Father O'Sulli-
van was elected by the democrats and local
option republicans. He is a total abstinence
man in his personal practice. but is OPP
posed to the prohibitory law.
The defeat for denomination of Governor
Gage of California recalls the fact that
factional divisions in the past have more
frequently defeated republican candidates
for governor in California than the pre-
ponderance of the democratic vote against
the nominee. In 1894 the republicans car
ried the state by pluralities of from 10000
to 10000, but their candidate, Estee, was
defeated for governor by 1,206 votes.
In Oregon the advocates Of the initiative
and referendum should be satisfied, as
both parties declared in favor of the sub
mission Of a constitutional amendment
providing for the system. Submitting con-
stitutional amendments and adopting them
are different things, however, as past ex-
p~erience has shown in Oregon. Oregon
voted on FIVE proposed constitutional
amendments in 1900. They were all de-
feated. One was for woman suffrage. It
received $4,000 votes.
Chief Justice Fuller of the United States
supreme court, appointed in 1888, is So.
Justice Harlan, appointed in 1877, is 80.
Justice Brewer, appointed in 1889, is IS.
Justice Brown, appointed in 1891, is Go.
Justice shiras, appointed In 1892, is past 70.
Justice White, appointed in 1894, is 81.
Justice Peckham, appointed in 1895, is "a,
and Justice McKenna, appointed in 1898, is
SO. With the retirement of Justice Gray,
there is now only one supreme court justice
over the age of 20. and the new justice,
Holmes, is 81. There are three justices
under 6O-three Of the nine.

HELPING CUBA.

Senator Plat of Connecticut, author
of the amendment that was incorporated
in the Cuban constitution, said in a
speech before the republican convention
OF that state that he believed "the time
of dealing justly with Cuba has only
been delayed and will surely come"
He urged that there should be reciproc-
ity in trade between the two countries
mutually advantageous, a reciprocity
whereby we would extend our own
trade and at the same time benefit the
industrial interests Of Cuba. This he
thought to be entirely practicable and
said: IF ever one nation was obligated
to deal justly and literally with
another, we are obligated to deal justly
and literally with Cuba. We can help
Cuba in the maintenance of her indie
pendence with great benefit to our
selves. We can enable her to start on
4 career Of self-suppOrting nationality
without perceptible injury to any Ameri-
can industry and with manifest benefit
to ALL"

most earnest supporters of President
RoOseyelt's position regarding Cuba.
He has given the question Of reel

view Of a thorough protectionist, and
when he says that tarin cOnces-

industry and with manifest benefit to

A FRUITFUL YEAR.
BounteOus Harvests invoke the Spirit
of Gratitude.
Philadelphia Press.


The shortening days and the increased
chilliness in the air are reminders that
the year is two-thirds gone and that the
season for gathering up the results of 1902
is fast approaching. 1t is an acceptable
season, especially when the year has
brought so much as this one has to make
people glad.
Taking the season OF 1902, and it is
doubtful II, all in all, any similar season
in the past gave more, IL as much, reason
for gratitude. There have been seasons
when some one crop has been larger than
this seasons. The wheat crop of 1891, for
instance, measured 1876, 900, 900 bushels
more than this years crop and the rice
and cotton crops IL the south will be
somewhat below the average. But corn,
oats, rye, barley, potatoes, buckwheat and
nearly all the fruits have yielded bumper
crops. The only shadows on the years
landscape nave been the high prices Of
meats and of coal. But the former is
fast correcting itself and reason must
soon rectify the latter.
With an abundance of cheap food and
with plenty OF work at good wages the
American people can look back on the
eight months and a half Of 1902 which
have gone with we'll earned satisfaction.
Whatever mas udppVhSu SisSNhNiS bnSAA
country has been free from famine and
commissions. Bountiful crops have re-
warded the husbandman and good
wages and plenty of work the laboring-
man. The latest report Of the Massachu-
sets Bureau Of Statistics, taking the years
1898 and 1902 as comparative points,
showed that the annual earnings OF an
average family had Increased S164.7S and
the expenses Of the same family 1864, a
gain for the workingman Of S67.79, in add
tion TO the increased expense Of being
almost for increased comforts. This is
only one example of many that could be
given.
1t is ten weeks and some days away
to Thanksgiving day. but 1t is not toe
early to begin to realize what the season
of 1902 has brought to this country In
order that the gratitude expressed on thai
day may be adequate to the occasion. II
is a satisfaction that should be general
and is typihed by the full corn cribs Of the
western farmer as well as by the increased
saving bank account Of the eastern work
man. Il has been a fruitful year and hA'
made the people glad.

PREPARE FOR oUR GUESTS.

Only a week remains for us to prepare
for the guests Omaha will be called upon
to entertain during the reception to
President Roosevelt and the annual fall
festivities of Ak-Sar-Ben.
Omaha's high reputation as a live,
progressive, up-to-date community must
be sustained and it devolves upon every
person who takes pride in his residence
in Omaha to contribute toward bringing
about this desired result.
The public buildings will be suitably
decorated and illuminated, but the
decorations and Examinations should not
stop there. Every business house can
at small expense put IN a few extra
touches in honor of the event and moth
ing will impress visitors more forcibly
with the public-spirited character of our
citizens than the extent to which all par
ticipate in the work devolving upon us
as hosts.
This years Ak-Sar-Ben carnival is to
be al extraordinary occasion by reason
of the promised presence of the presi-
dent and an extraordinary effort should
be made to make the occasion memo
rable.

MIR. nnYAN AND HOWE RULE.
Talks for One Plan in Ohio and for
Another in Missouri.

Another IN MtsHouris
Kansas City Times (dem.)
A great deal Of interest has been at
tracted recently TO the efforts OF the larger
cities Of Ohio to secure home rule, and the
state legislature has been much censured
for ito apparent determination to keep the
municipal affairs largely under the control
Of the states officers. In his speech at
Toledo last Saturday Mr.. William J. Bryan
said:
They say you are incapable Of home
rule here in Ohio, and ~ you have a bit OF
American manhood about you, you will re-
sent that insult"
That was very well put. But II is TO be
noted that Mr.. Bryan did not say It OF
anything like Il in his speech at Joplin,
Mo, a few days ago, where he spoke from
tho same platform with a governor OF
Missouri, a former governor, and the mayor
Of Kansas City, who defended two years
ago in public addresses the system by
which the state machine at Jefferson City
controls the police force and election ma
chinery Of Kansas City. The principle OF
home rule" for cities is correct, whether It
is opposed by a republican administration
I'm Ohio or a democratic administration in
Missouri.
The only reason for the refusal to permit
Kansas Clty 10 administer lh own hhli
for its W benefit is TO perpetuate the
state machine in power and overcome an
opposing political majority by a trained
force Of 275 police officers and the concen-
tratIon Of elections control in the hands OF
state officers. what evils In this regard
exist in Ohio prevail with greater force in
Missouri. The Ohio legislature attempted,
at least, to grant special charters to Cleve-
land and Toledo which would allow those
cities not only to control their police sys-
TENS, but to determine their own course in
levying taxes for municipal improvements.
But Kansas City may not 60 beyond a
narrow limit Of expenditures-even II every
taxpayer in the city desires to do so-with
out getting the consent Of the people in
the Ozark counties and other parts OF the
state who know no more about the ahairs
of the city than do the residents of Green
land.
From an economic standpoint Kansas
City is very we'll able to take care Of itself,
and from a political standpoint 1t is an
outrage that a police department owing
allegiance to the governor only should be
allowed by law to spend as much of the
city's money as It wants to without having
to ask the council for permission. II Mr..
Bryan has any regard for sincerity he should
advocate municipal home rule in Missouri
with as much warmth as he has cham
pioned 1t in Ohio.

Delegates to republican county and
congressional conventions want to real
ize the responsibility that rests upon
them. They owe it to themselves and
to the party to nominate only such men
as may reasonably expect election. To
put up candidates sure of defeat in ad-
vance can bring no satisfaction to any
body. Republicans need a strong ticket
to win this year under present cOndi-
tions, and it is up to the members OF
the conventions to make sure of victory
by nominations that will command the
whole party strength.

THE PRESIDENTS WESTERN TRIP.

THE PRESIDENTS WESTERN TRIP.
President Roosevelt's western our
will be a fitting complement to his re.
cent travels through New England and
the south. His welcome here will be
at least as spontaneous and cordial as
among the Yankees and the ~southerners.
The west has always had a fellow feel
ing and admiration for Theodore Roose-
welt, eastern-born though he is. His
courage and progressive genius, his OPP
timism and his broad, genuine Ameri-
eanism have every badge of the west
ern spirit, and his varied life on the
plains and mountains have endowed him
with common experiences entered with
the Zest of a native. The ranchman's
saddle and the hunters rife are familiar
suggestions in connection with his per-
sonality. In the west probably more
than in any other section are the presi-
dents energy and boldness appreciated.
Tie west will take pleasure in the op-
p%ortunity to signify its approval of his
positive. and aggressive stand on public
questions. 1t will not merely greet the
president with formal honors, but it will
approve the man and his public course.
His progress through the west will leave
him in nc doubt on that point. The west
is not the whole country, but the presi-
dent will understand the true attitude of
the American people toward him after
he completes his western trip.
