The Presidents Candor.

The President makes no secret OF
the fact that he sometimes holds
conferences with pa; ty leaders which
are devoted to politics. One of the
fine traits of Theodore Roosevelt is
his readiness to show the courage of
his convictions He believes that
every good citizen ought to be inter
ested in the great political questions
of the day. He also holds that the
effective way to work for good gov
ernment is to act N harmony with
the best party organization. only sep
arating from it when its path be-
comes evil, and rt joining it as soon
as that can be done without violence
to conscience.
Feeling thus, the President argues
that from the chief executive down
to the least influential man in priv
ate life, every citizen should be ac-
tive in politics. Holding that view
OF duty, why should he hesitate to
admit that conferences on party
questions are held in the White
House? Logically, there is no reason,
and SO Mr.. Roosevelt is open and
frank in his way of calling party
leaders to meet him and talk over
the problems of the times. The fact
that the President is about to run
for another term does not make him
any the less free to confess that he
takes lively interest in private af-
fairs. Less brave and candid men
might vince and dodge.
The country thinks all the more of
the President because of his frank
uess- 1t is one of his most engaging
traits. 1t makes him friends and ad-
mirers. It will swell the big major
its he is to receive 1T the polls next
year.-CleYeland Leader.

DELAYED.
Vote Not Pleasing TO Members Of
the House.

There is some criticism expressed
by House leaders regarding the pab-
lished program of the Senate to take
a vote on the Cuban bill on December
Is, and adjourn the present session
within few days. Such action is
declared to be a reflection on the
President, who assembled Congro IS
in extra session and emphasized the
necessity of imme diate action on the
Cuban measure. The III, use occu-
pied but nine days of the session in
taking this acton, and members of
the House can see no reason why the
Senate, which has ratified the Cuban
treaty by two-thirds vote, after
throughly discussing the comps ct,
should put of the passage of the bill
making that treaty effective until
the middle of Iext month.

Best Apple to Market.

At recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Apple Growers convention at
st. Louis, it was found that almost
half the apple crop represented by
the members-the leading orchard
lists of the ccuntry-is the Ben Davis
variety. This is another illustration
of the market value Of good locks.
The Ben Davis is a snowy fruit, a
good producer and stands shipment
well: but it is inferior in flavor to
many other varieties. But people
who buy apples are guided by looks
rather than taste, and the Ben Davis
always looks luscious, and that is the
reason that there are over a million
bearing Ben Davis apple trees, occu-
pying l7,74O acres of orchard.

RAILROADS.
EARNING RATIO
HIGHER In N. W.
ROADS HERE HAVE REDUCED
ECONOMY TO SCIENCE.
As Result Their Proportion of Net
Earnings Exceeds That of Most
Other Roads in the Country-op-
Grating Expenses Below Average.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-Close observers
of the railroad situation thruout the
country are struck by the fact that
while the great trunk lines have bene-
flied most in the freight movement
of the past ten years, the ratio of
increase was greatest in the south and
in the southwestern and gulf states.
When, on the other hand, the finan-
cial results are examined. it is shown
that the northwestern railroads, while
not showing as large gains in tonnage
as compared with the roads of the
south and southwest, have benefited
more than all the other states in pro-
portionate pecuniary returns.
The reason for this is said by ex-
perts to be due to the fact that the
measures for operating economically
have been brought to their greatest
perfection by the northwestern roads.
In addition to the natural increase in
traffic, this financial gain is said to
represent the results Of Improvements
in tracks and facilities and the de-
velopment of a high average train
load.
It is in the northwest that the best
comparisons are to be found. Not
only do the amounts and ratio of the
gross and net earnings exceed the cor
responding averages for the United
States, but those of the operating ex-
penses fall considerably below the
country's averages for operating.

The War Talk.

A ''rush" order from Russia to a
South Omaha packing company for a
million pounds of beef would seem to
indicate that the random war talk
and guessing matches as to what Rus
sia; and Japan will do, may, after
little, be based upon substantial and
actual facts. A million pounds of
mess beef, however, is mere drop in
the bucket, compared with the food
needs of the two three hundred
thousand men Russia. has already sent
into Manchuria, and especially to
Port Arthur, and to the Korean from
tier.
The Significance Of the order is
that Russia does not, at present, at
least, intend to retire from her latest
acquisition. The position of Japan is
unchanged. If she retreats from her
claim for the recognition of her COM
mercial rights in Manchuria, She evil
IDENTIFY has no idea of abandoning her
claim upon Korea as her legitimate
sphere of which Russia deprived
her, after she had fairly won it from
China in 1894-95. Japan is ready at
the present time to measure her fight
ing strength with Russia, who is try
ing to get her to make the first hostile
movement, so that she may plead it
in justification for the immediate util-
izatioil of her forces in the far east
Such a situation has large possible
