States. This, II is said, Is especially
true In Brazil, Venezuela, the Ia Plata

many was sweeping all opposition aside
but twelve months ago. The change is
ascribed to Germany's unwise naval
policy and characteristic aggressiveness,
arousing the anlmosity Of government
authorities and inhabitants. The cor
respondent observes that Germany is
now discovering that its naval policy
is not a good auxiliary to the extension
Of its trade with South America.
II would seem that there was never
a more auspicious time for American
manufacturers and merchants to seek
South American trade than the present,
but they are probably not well prepared
to take advantage of It. Whether or
not Germany will be able to recover
what she has lost OF this trade is a

from the competition for the commerce
that Germany has sacrificed by reason

UPON THEIR HONOR.

In the present municipal campaign the
Swedish-American republicans will
undergo a crucial test as to their party
loyalty. They are brought face to face
with the question whether the ties of
kinship and political creed are stronger
principles for which the party of their
choice stands. 1t will remain for them
to disabuse the prevailing popular i'm.
preston that attachment to the men Of
Swedish birth or descent is greater with
them than their allegiance to the party
or its principles-in other words that
Swedes will vote for Swedes no matter
on what ticket they are nominated and
no matter how competent OF worthy
their competitors may be.
When Charles o. Lobeck was re-
publican he was honored by the repub-
lican party with place in the state
senate and received the support of
Americans and men of all nationalities
that professed the republican faith.
When he deserted that party to become
a silver republican he lost all claim
upon the support of edish-American
republicans Just as he did of all other
classes of republicans. When he passed
out of the silver republican party to the
democratic party he widened the dis
tance so much more and severed all the
ties that might have bound republicans
Of his own nationality to him in thu
past
There is no more reason or excuse fol
Swedlsh-American republicans to desert
William j. Hunter, his competitor, whC
is eminently qualified and worthy thar

candidate for building inspector, who II

place to which he aspires.
1t is an open secret that Mr.. Lobecl
was nominated by the democrats no
merely with view to seducing Swedish
American republicans from their patl
of political duty, but also to create
breach In republican lines and carr,
with 1t a general desertion of other can
didates on the ticket. 1t now behoove
Swedish-American republicans to vindi
cate their honor and prove their devo
ton to the principles of the republican
party by loyalty supporting its candi

PRESIDENT MADE A HIT.
Popular Interest Excited by .
Domestic Topic.
Chicago Record-Herald.


The address of Mary A. Livermore of
Boston, In which she took issue with Presl-
dent Roosevelt on the race suicide ques-
tion, is one of the many evidences OF the
fact that the president struck a topic Of
intensely human interest when he ventured
to chide Americans for the growing habit
Of having small families. No utterance of
the president has excited such lively and
extended discussion as the one in which he
declared 1t to be the patriotic duty Of
Americans to raise large families of chill
dren.
In taking issue with the president Mrs.
Livermore said
"The need is not more children, but bet
ter ones. 1t would not be race suicide II
we were to have more homes into which
only two or three children were born.
Quality and character signify more than a
horde"
Whether this sentiment is generally in
dorsed or not no one will be inclined to
underestimate the value aud Importance OF
quality" in the rearing Cf children. The
only trouble with the argument Of Mrs.
Mvermore is that the tendency to have
fewer children does not conduce to the de-
velopment OF better ones, as one might be
led to suppose.
Incidentally. however. the discussion
must furnish the president with crafty
ing reminder OF the fact that he hit upon a
live topic Of popular interest when he
tackled the race suicide" question in his
vigorous, breezy and candid style. His
auditorium speech on the Monroe doctrine,
his discussion OF trust legislation and revi-
sion Of the tariff, are all Of slight popular
interest compared to his brief but strenu-
Gus admonitions concerning race suicide
His able plea for a larger navy did not
evoke such popular concern as his plea fol
larger families.
All of which shows that when the presi-
dent wants to arouse popular enthusiasm
he must touch upon those domestic topics
that are close to the lives of the people and
which he handles with such rare felicity
and refreshing candor.

The good roads movement appears to
be focusing on the question whether the
money for road building shall be sup
piled at least In part out of the national
treasury or shall be furnished by the
states or local divisions OF the states.
The strange part Of the situation is that
the advocacy Of naturalization comes
largely from the south, which In years
gone by would have resented the very
lntimation as an unwarranted invasion
OF states rights. The southern states
have discovered that they are FAR be
hind In the matter OF good roads ana
they are not at all averse to having the
people OF the north help out In paying

favor. A New York correspondent Of a

feat his nomination and election they
will tell you first that the republican

collect any funds in business circles,
and, second, that the railroad influence

against him. Details are not given, but
only the general threat that unless he
mends his ways and shows a different
disposition toward the money interests
and business interests Of the country
the railway kings win organize their
employees against him"
There are not lacking indications
Of this hostility to Mr.. Roosevelt. II

for putting a check upon monopollstic
movements has the unqualified approval
of the great majority Of the people.
The power of the combinations Is great

But we do not believe It can prevail
against the popular demand for a presi-

that corporations which exist in viola

NATIONS AT THE EXPOSITION.

The events of the past week at St
Louis may reasonably be expected to
stimulate feeling abroad favorable to
the great exposition in that it is open a
year hence and which there is every
reason to believe will be ready at the
appointed time. The representatives of
foreign governments have learned from
personal observation what is contem-
plated and they know that the men who
are in charge of this great enterprise
have the ability, the energy and the
means at their command to accomplish
what they have set out to do. The visit
to St Louis of the diplomats of Euro
pean governments has given them an
insight into what is proposed that will
enable them to intelligently inform their
governments and we venture to predict
that they will give an account of the
prospect that will be entirely salts
factory to the managers of the expo
sition.
So far as appears there is a very gen.
eral disposition abroad to be well rep
resented at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position. Great Britain, there is every
reason to expect, will have a magnifi-
cent exhibit. The appointment of the
Prince of Wales as chairman of the
British royal commissioners, a manifes-
tation Of the kings interest in the exposi-
tion, promises to have a most salutary
effect In inducing British manufacturers
to send their products here. The prince
himself is showing a most enthusiastic
interest in the matter. At a meeting of
the commissioners a few days ago he
urged British manufacturers to make a
generous display Of their goods, point
Ing out the good results reasonably to
be expected from doing so.
1t is altogether probable that this ap-
peal to the manufacturers of England
will have some influence upon those of
other foreign countries. 1t has been re.
ported that the manufacturers of Ger.
many will ignore the exposition, but
this seems hardly credible. They are
shrewd business men, who are looking
for every opportunity to extend their
trade. Whatever may be their irrlta
tion in consequence of American compe
tition, 1t is most improbable that they
will "bite Off their noses" by boycottinp
the st. Louis exposition. 1t is assured
that France will have a splendid ex
hibit Of her arts and manufactures. 70,

WBAr WILL REpUBLfCINs sAY,

A frantic appeal to democrats has
just been issued over the signatures of
local democratic leaders, namely: G. NJ.
Hitchcock, Ed p. Smith, James P. Eng
lish, James e. Boyd, George w. Donne
G. ]. Smyth, A N. Ferguson, Richard
L. Metcalfe and w. @. Bullard, urging
them to rally to the support of Ed
Howell and the candidates on the dem
ocratic city ticket by pleading how
much a victory would mean for the
democratic party. The reasons given
as the basis Of the appeal are embodied
In this paragraph of the circular:
In the FIRST place, democratic success
at this time In all probability will mean
years to ccme. 1t will mean a greatly in
creased vote for the reelection Of Judge
Sullivan to the supreme bench this fall.
1t will probably mean the election OF a
solid democratic, delegation to the next
legislature from this county and 1t may
mean the election Of a democratic United
States senator from Nebraska.
What will republicans who are being
cajoled into helping the democrats by
voting for Benson have to say to this
Every republican In Omaha knows that
two votes for Benson are the same as
one vote for Howell and that the Ben
son diversion is simply a movement tC
turn the city government over to the
| democrats.
How many republicans want to hand
the city over to the democrats not only
for the next three years but for many
years to come?
How many republicans want to in
sure the reelection of the outgoing dem
ocratlc judge of the supreme court this
fall?
How many republicans want to con
tribute to sending a solid democratic
delegation from this county to the mex
legislature with the chance Of giving
the democrats the selection of the mex
United States senator to be chosen fo
this state?
We may be sure the democrats will
omit nothing to whip their rank ant
file into line for the democratic candi
dates. But the democratic appeal is tn
strongest kind of an argument for re
publicans to vote for Frank Il. Moore
and the other nominees on the republi
can ticket.

HowELEs APPrAL TO CATHOLICS.

BoWELBS APPEAL TO CATHOLICS.
The pathetic appeal to the Catholics
Of Omaha made on behalf of Edward e.
Howell by the world-Herald forcibly
recalls the anti-Catholic crusade that
swept over this city only a few years
ago and drove Catholic teachers from
the public schools and evicted Catholics
from the court house and in the city
hall As the elimination Of that cru
sade William J. Broatch was elected
mayor Of Omaha and men who were
the most rampant in the persecution Of
Catholics were given positions of honor
and trust on the bench and in almost
every important Office at the disposal
Of the people.
When Edward e. Howell was pitted
against Frank E. Moores as candidate
for mayor six years ago his aff1liation
with the anti-Catholic dark lantern
cabal proved to be a bar to his success
despite his vociferous denials Of his A.
p. A. record. In this instance, curses
like chickens, came home to roost, and
MIR. Howell's ambition to become mayor
Of Omaha was not gratifed.
1t was decidedly indiscreet on the part
of the World-Herald, which was no.
toriously the malnstay of A. p. Aism In
its palmy days. to venture upon a spe
cial appeal to Catholics to rally to the
support of Howell when up to this time
no alluslon had been made to his part
in the anti-Catholic crusade. In touch
ing that tender spot in the Catholic mind
and memory the World-Herald forces

cannot fail to lrritate and aggravatt

OPPOSITION ro ROnsEVELr.

Reports of opposition to President
Roosevelt and of efforts In certain quar-
ters to defeat him for nomination by the
next republican national convention are
not at all surprising His position re-
garding the combinations which are be-
lieved to be violating the laws and his
manifest determination that the laws
applying to these combinations shall be
enforced have melted against him the
hostility of the trust magnates and
those who support the monopolistic
policy they stand for. A prominent In
diana republican is reported as saying
that he had been very much impressed
with the extent and force Of this hos
tillty particularly in New York. and he
advised those who are supposed to be
looking after the political interests Of
the president that the fences OF his own
state should be Immediately repaired.
This gentleman said that the grounds
of objection to Mt. Roosevelt, both
among the politicians and the business
community, seem to be vague and un-
reasonable. "The general sentiment ap-
pears to be based upon bis hostility to
the trusts and much Of 1t can be traced
directly to the decision in the Northern
Securities merger case. At the same
time 1t is admitted that President
Roosevelt had nothing whatever TO do
with the enactment Of the law upon
which that decision was based" The
complaint Of course is that he is re-
sponslble for the proceedings that have
been instituted against the combinations
lin other words that he has faithfully
performed his sworn duty 10 see that
the laws are enforced, without fear OF
