Kansas City Star: The gain to the coun-
try's solidarity through the presidency OF a
man of Mr.. Roosevelt's character is enor-
nous. The slight tendency of the nation
to stratify In classes, which has appeared
in recent years, has been cause for dis
quietude. BY recognizing no classes the
president has given a check to any such
s-tratihcation. His influence has worked
powerfully toward the maintenance of So
cial democracy. In this he has been a great
factor in conserving the ideals for which
America stands.
Boston Transcript: The tour Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt through New England
which was begun in Connecticut, is pre-
ceded by pleasant expectancy in a number
Of places. He will visit every state during
his trip, and he will meet many of our
people face to face as his predecessor liked
to meet them. Confidence begets confidence
and a frank statement of principles and
policy by the head of the government is al
ways we'll received by the people. 1t makes
their interest in national affairs more di-
rect and intimate. and emphasizes anew
for them the fact that they are the source
Of government and that their most promi-
nent public servant is making his report
to them of 'what has been done and his
recommendations as to what should be the
next steps in national progress.

A SAVAGE INSULT TO LABOR.
Governors Letter to Plumbers Union
Held Up in It's True Light.
South Omaha Independent.

South Omaha Independent.
The reply of Governor Savage to q let
ter of the Omaha machinists protesting
against the manner in which he ignored
organized labor In the appointing Of the
new Omaha Board Of Fire and Police Com
missioners was one Of the most insulting
and misleading documents ever penned by
a public man. In his anxiety to punish
the editor Of The Bee he ISLANDERS and
abuses the best citizens Of our republic
simply because they exercise the right
given them by the constitution Of the
United States. Organized labor, repre-
senting fully 80 per cent of the popula-
tion of Omaha, asked that a representa-
tive Of that class be named as one of the
members OF the new Board Of Fire and
Police Commissioners. which has complete
control of the police affairs Of that city.
The contents OF the reply written by Gov
ernor Savage only proves the true charac-
ter of the man and thoroughly demon
strates the unhtness OF the man for the
responsible position which he holds
through a political accident and not by a
choice Of the people. In his reference to
organized labor he puts It organized out
lawry" and classes the request Of the
Omaha labor organizations as the demands
OF anarchists and socialists" yet the
governors letter is couched in language
that would lead a disinterested observer to
suspect that the brain Of a Herr Most
dictated the contents OF that letter. We
admit that there are a very few MEMBERS
OF organized labor who are not as law
abiding as could be wished, but the ma
jority Of those who make up the great
arm of organized labor OF this country
are law-abiding and peace-loving citizens.
Organized labor was never instrumental
in turning loose a convicted crimina upon
society and shielded his confederates from
the law who had robbed the taxpayers
Of Nebraska Of $500, 900. Simply because
organized labor opposed the idea Of turn
ing over the control Of the Omaha police
department to the minlons OF the Union
Pacific railroad to assist in electing one
Of its tools to congress the governor loses
his head and vilihes and ISLANDERS or
ganized labor, believing that by such
words. unwisely spoken, he can get bach
at his political enemies. The governor
says he has had ealloused and b~listered
hands through honest toll. but he had or
the big mitt when he turned the key that
opened the gates OF the state ~penitentiary

SOME PRoFIrs or EXPANSION,

SWIM EEtOr41o vi GAEANOHON. .
"our commerce with the east is grow
ing rapidly" said President Roosevelt.
Events have abundantly justified, alike
from the moral and material standpoint,
all that we have done in the far east
as a sequel to the war with Spain 4"
What is the evidence Of this? Trade
with our insular dependencies for the
last fiscal year is compared with 1897,
the last fiscal year before the war with
Spain. A notable increase is shown by
the figures. The exports to Porto Rico
are more than FIVE times as large as they
were in the earlier year and the exports
to the Philippines were over fifty times
as large as in the earlier year. The
exports to the Hawaiian islands have
increased in the same five years more
than fourfold. To Porto Rico the ex-
ports Of cotton manufactures were in
significant in 1897, while in 1902 they
exceeded $4,000, OOO. The exports of
breadstuffs nearly doubled, the exports
of iron and steel were nearly 1000, 900
greater and Of provisions nearly as
much greater. Nearly $1,O00,OOO worth
Of iron and steel went to the Philippines
In the last fiscal year, not including gov
eminent shipments. Cotton manufac-
lures were nearly $25O,O00 and bread
stuffs and provisions more than $780, 600.
The total exports from the United States
to the Philippines In 1897 did not amount
to 100000. The exports to the Philip
pines, Hawaii and Porto Rico altogether
amounted in the last fiscal year to nearly
$35, 100000 and in 1897 they fell a good
deal short of $7,OOO,OO0.
The possession of the Philippines has
helped us, said President Roosevelt, as
the securing of the open door in China
has helped us. Nobody who win lntelli-
gently study the statistics can doubt
this. The advantages, from a CONNER
cial point of view, already shown as
the result of expansion are so self-evi.
dent that the most radical opponent OF
the policy of the government in this re
spect nno find a reasonable argument
against the course that has been pur,
sued. Who can doubt the absolute
benefit Of securing the open door in
China and possession of the Philippine:
has been a powerful influence in ena
bling the United States to secure the
consideration which it has received IL
the adjustment Of new conditions il
Chinay Had the United States pos
sessed no interests in the far east is Il
not a most reasonable proposition tina
in the Chinese trouble this countr,
would have been absolutely ignored anC
all It's interests have been sacrificed I,
the demands and the cupidity of thu
other powers?
Not only have we increased our tradl
with the insular possessions. as show
by the indisputable statistics, but W,
have put ourselves in a position to com
mand u snare Of the great trade Of tn
Orient, the future benefits Of which ar,
almost beyond computation. That is
matter in which the intelligent American
citizen cannot fail to feel the creates

Happy Republicans.


Chicago Chronicle (dem')'
Mr.. Watterson's dislike for Grover Cleve-
land is so great that he has no hesitation
in saying that as between him and Mr..
Roosevelt he would vote for the latter.
There is reason to believe that many other
democrats are of the same opinion.
On the other hand, there are democrats
who are so much opposed to Mr.. Bryan that
as between him and Mr.. Roosevelt they
would prefer Mr.. Roosevelt.
Unless all appearances are deceitful a
majority OF the democrats Of the country
are more inclined to vote for a republican
than they are to vote for some democrats.
This is a delightful condition Of AFFAIRS
for Mr.. Roosevelt and for the republicans
generally. II they can manage to preserve
the status quo they will not be called upon
to overexert themselves in the next presi-
Dental campaign. Democrats who cannot
tolerate each other are not likely TO be very
troublesome to anybody but themselves.

WORE ABoUr rHh CONGRATULATIONS.

MORE ABOUT THB KiNDERGARTENS.
In one of his recent lectures to uni
verslty Of Chicago. students. Chancellor
E. Benjamin Andrews Of the University
of Nebraska declared:
Kindergarten schools are not necessary
for children who have good homes and
proper environment. Only the children
who cannot be taught and helped at home
and who are surrounded by vicious environ
ments at home really need the kindergarten.
1t is a mistake to think that women make
better kindergarten teachers than men.
The best kindergarten teacher that 1 ever
saw was a man. We need men in all
grades. We need men teachers in the
kindergartens, first, second and third grades,
as we'll as in the grammar and high schools.
So far as 1t relates to the function of
the kindergarten, this is in line with the
position The Bee has taken on several
occasions. Here in Omaha the kinder
garten has been developed as an addi-
tional years work for the entire public
school system, without regard to the
varying demands of the different To-
c~alities. As a result, the biggest
kindergarten classes are conducted in
the schools attended by children who
have the least need for kindergarten
training, while the schools in the
poorer or outlying districts, where the
kindergarten would be most serviceable,
have been given least attention, if not
entirely neglected. The k~indergartens
are no doubt here to stay as a part of
the public school system, but their de-
velopment should be governed not so
much by a desire to make places for
favored applicants for positions on the
teaching force as by the rea demand
for kindergarten instruction and the
practical results to be attained.
Chancellor Andrews suggestion that
men make as good, If not better, kinder
garden teachers than women is GER
tainly interesting. So far as we know,
no men have been employed either as
kindergarten teachers in the Omaha
schools or as supervisors of the kim
~dergarten work. On the contrary, the
kindergartens have been regarded as a
sort Of training school for young women
who have no normal or other special edu-
cation, and, while many of them turn
u well, others fail to materialize and
the work of the kindergartens is largely
experimental in character. That this is
subversive Of best results will be con.
coded even by the most ardent cham.
pions of the k~indergartens.
The whole subject Of k~indergartens
calls for careful Investigation 1 with
special reference to its practical appli
cation to existing local conditions.

A MOST rlvoRABLr OUTDOOR.

One OF the leading financial journals
Of this country says there is nothing
in present appearances to indicate any
immediate check to the forward move
ment Of American industry. 1t remarks
that the decline Of the merchandise bal
ance in favor Of this country has not
vet been sufficient to reduce the favor
able balance below the highest figure
ever recorded before 1898. and there Ia
every reason to believe that a liberal ex-
cess of exports Of American merchan-
disc will again be disclosed In the
autumn when our abundant crops are
laid down in Europe.
In referring to the situation the New
York Journal Of Commerce remark that
the pail which has fallen upon CONT
mental Europe has checked the purchase
OF American manufactured goods, with
out apparently detracting from the pros
perity of our factories in the face OF
an unprecedented demand at home. The
United States has the advantage, says
that journal, of a demand for its prod
ucts from abroad, which is imperative
in the case of food supplies, even If 1t
is sometimes optional in the case OF
manufactured goods. $50 long as con-
sumption Of manufactured goods con-
tinues unchecked, and Europe is COM
PEELED to provide us with all the i'm
ported luxuries which we desire in
return for staple food products, there is
no immediate reason to anticipate the
rupture of the equilibrium between de-
mand and supply in leading industries,
which is the forerunner Of economic
disaster"
present situation as pregnant with the
possibilities of trouble in the not re-
mote future, but the sbrewdest and most
careful fnanciers do NOT take this view
Of it. On the contrary a careful and
judicious weighing of all the conditions
seem to fully justify the opinion that
the promise of the immediate future is
In the highest degree favorable to not
only a continuance Of prosperity, but to
even greater results in an Industrial and
commercial way than has been realized
during the last few years. So far as
conditions affecting our foreign trade
are concerned there is nothing unfavor.
able. It is rue that the European
demands may be somewhat reduced, by
reason Of adverse conditions abroad, but
1t is reasonably to be expected that
losses in this direction will be more
than made up by increased demands
in other quarters. AS to the demands
for our agricultural products they are
not likely to be materially less than fol
several years past. Viewing the stu.
alton as a whole, therefore, we think
there is good reason for the opinion thai
the forward movement Of American in
dustry is not threatened by any imme
date check. The outlook, therefore
is to be regarded as altogether salts
factory and encouraging.
