speak, interest Is sure to be heightened
1t is a safe guess therefore, that Mr.,
Bryan viii not be thrown out of busi-
Louis ticket and platform. Let 1t be
admitted that Mr.. Bryan Is devoted to
principle; 1t cannot be denied that he
was born an actor. Judgment may be
that the country is suffering for prin-
c1ple; but the common people are not
above spending their money freely for
a show to their liking. Mr.. Bryan may
have poor show in the st. Louis con-
Vention, but he will continue to travel
and pay expenses. Mr.. Bryan Is such
an artist that he is able to maintain
decree of curious interest in the next
scene. He is like a popular novel that
gives the reader haste to turn to the
next page. 1t may be admitted that
Mr.. Bryan says what he thinks, but 1t
must be granted that he thinks far
enough in advance to give himself the
advantage of required reservation. It
may be said in the most positive man
ner that Mr.. Bryan Is not trickster,
but that he has way of pulling cards
from UNEMPLOYED places must be grant
ed He has an oily tongue which he
can fork as occasion may require. If
1t be charged that he Is slippery. let 1t
be remembered that politics Is the
game. 1t Is to be anticipated that Mr..
Bryan will look out for his reputation
as democrat, and If he does not do
as well in that as David Bennett Hill
did In 1896 and 1900 the admirers OF
Mr.. Bryan will have cause to confess
disappointment.

ARTILLERY IN THE FIELD.

New York Sun.-These are daXSnS..
long distance fighting. Tie accounts
Of the operations in the theater of COM
pat in the east serve to Illustrate strik-
fngly the change which has come to
warfare since the mighty struggles Of
the civil conflict in this country. In
the Boer war the utter folly OF the
traditional close order of the British
infantry In the face of modern rifle
fire was demonstrated thoroughly, but
there was less opportunity to observe
the effect Of artillery than there has
been in the fighting between the RUS
slams and the Japanese.
Nevertheless, even in the Boer war
much was learned from the landing of
naval guns of much larger calibers
than those of accepted military artil-
lery. All nations took to heart the les
sons of that time, and field guns grew
heavier and more deadly. Yle Japan
csc have shown that they were ready
to make swifter progress in this mat
ter than any other people, just as they
have In other departments Of military
service.
They have driven the Russians from
their chosen positions in almost every
tight by sheer superiority of artillery.
When the guns embraced for any ace
tion have failed to dislodge the enemy.
the Japanese have brought up heavier
ones and concentrated their fire with
marvellous skill. They have thus been
able to convert any position into a
seething caldron Of fire and shell. and
to make 1t physically impossible for
any body Of men, however, brave and
determined, to hold it..
The success Of these operations
opens the way for a most important
discussion as to the limit of size and
weight that may be reached in guns
intended for movements in the field.
Obviously, Typographical considera-
tons will have much to do in deter
mining this at any given place; but
artillerists will anxiously study type Of
guns. and especially carriages, for
heavy work in campaigning. Since
infantry alignments now face each
other with rapid fire at 800 yards,
artillery must clear the way at much
longer ranges than it did few years
ago; and 1t takes heavy guns to do
this.

Four Track News.-"Old Glary" sig-
nifies more to an American than any
thing in the world. 1t speaks with an
eloquence unsurpassed; 1t represents
high ambitions voiced by millions Of
people; it fills the heart with sense
of duty, desire to stand by the COLI

claim that it has been in more battle
and seen more victories than any 9TH

ard Is there for which so many men
have fought and died, and which has
never been struck in token of submis-

Nothing can be more beautifl than
the flash of blue and crimson and

to the breeze, or ripples in the varying
winds, there comes to the onlooker a
sort Of wireless message, bringing him
closer to the wonderful something that

something given to 1t by the principles

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.


Wall Street Journal.-A good deal is
heard in Wall Street to the effect that
this capitalist" or that Financial in
terest" will not contribute to the cam
pa1gn fund Of the national republican
committee this year, in any sum equal
to the contribution made four years
ago, if at ALL, We do not know wbeth-
err any Of this talk is well founded or
not. We certainly hope that there
will be no need in the campaign of
this year of raising and expending the
enormous sums Of money that were
necessary in 1896 and 1900; for the use
of money in the elections has become a
very denoralizing factor in American
politics and American business. There
seems to be no reasonable doub. how
ever, that whatever is necessary to de-
fray the legitimate expenses cf the re.
publican campaign will be obtained
There ~ one significant fact to be

THE NEW HOSPITAL.

In few months Ottumwa will have
new, modern, well equipped hospital
building. the equal of any in the
state. The money for it's erection has
been given by the citizens and has
been willingly subscribed. The plans
have been approved and the advertise
ments for bids will appear in a short
tirae. Much credit is due to the women
of the Ottumwa Hospital association
for the work they have done in Sc
curing the subscriptions and creating
public interest in the hospital matter
Their work has been wholly unselfish,
distinctly generous and performed
without the slightest expectation of
any return to themselves. Men are ex-
pected to be public spirited. Every i'm
provement means betterment for
their business, but women as a rule
are little given to thinking of business
matters and this cannot be said to
have furnished the object for the work
that has been done by the members
of the Ottumwa Hospital association.
For several years these women
have worked increasingly for the good
of the community. They have built
up hospital that has a reputation
throughout the southern part Of the
state for efficiency in spite of the fact
that it has always been poorly quar-
tered and the finances have been low.
Now the association is to be rewarded,
and the new building of which every
Ottumwan will be proud, will long
stand as a monument to their unselfish
labors, without which it could never
have been erected.

THE LEADERSHIP AT ST. LOUIS

Washington Star.-That the demo-
cratic party has a problem of the
greatest difficulty to solve at st. Louis
is admitted on all hands. That the
problem to be satisfactorily solved
should be tackled In it's late1t mani
festations by the ablest men in the
party needs no argument. And yet
the reports from ST. Louis show that
the list of absentees is notable one.
Mr. Cleveland is fishing at Buzzard's
Bay. He journeyed thither on the pa
latial yacht of E. c. Benedict, a Wall
street magnate. The democracy has
been fighting Wall street for years,
and still, in its platforms, abhors
trusts and Spectators.
Mr. olney. dressed, we may suppose,

porters. He was slated in popular ex-
pectation for place on the platform
committee of the convention, and
much was expected Of him. The hope
was that he would help Mr.. Hill com
bat in committee the policies of Mr.
Bryan. His absence is explained by
the statement of his friends that he is
a receptive candidate for the presi-
dency Whatever the reason, his party
loses by it.
John r. Mclean is deservedly man
OF influence in his party He led the
way, several years ago, in demanding
a return to sanity and conservatism. .
He is still demanding that. But he is
demanding it at the distance of thou
sand miles. He remains here at home,
while his lieutenants wrestle with the
situation at close range.
Henry Watterson is absent, lectur-
ing on Abraham Lincoln" the great

the democracy was potent Mr.. Waiter
son was leading figure at his party's
national conventions. The new times
have brought new men, but the whole
Of tho Kentucky delegation to st.
Louis rolled into one would not
amount, politically speaking, to a lit

And so it goes. Mr.. Fill ana Mr..

at st. Louis. The others are iieute.-

financial interests that might endeavor
to use him for their own selfish pur-
poses.
That this was the correct interpre-
tation 10 be put upon Mr.. Cortelyou's
appointment is confirmed by the state
ment 1nade by Francis E. Leupp, the
well-known Washington correspond
ent, ard the biographer of Roosevelt,
in an article In the Outlook. Mr..
Leupp says:
"Cortelyou was chosen because he
is clean man, so sympathetically ia
miliar with the plans and ideals of his
chief as to be in no danger of doing
what the latter cannot approve. The
end Of his campaign, it will be safe to
believe. will witness no unhappy day
of reckoning for his principal grooming
over balance sheet filled with scan
dalous records and obnoxious pledges"
William Allen White, in the Satur-
day Evening Post, even goes further
than Mr.. Leupp in explaining the Sig
nificanoe of Mr.. Cortelyou's appoint
ment. Mr.. White declares that this
selection was "one OF tie greatest and
bravest things President Roosevelt has
done" that it was, in fact, blow
stroke at the modern system of graft
In politics. 1T MEANS" says Mr..
White, that there shall be no further
selling of privileges" He is driving
the money changers out of temple"
The selection by the President of Cor
telyou, is "a warning that contribu-
lions 20 the committee are not con-
sidered as mortgages upon the republi-
can party. If the Standard Oil cor
poratiop, for instance, desires to con-

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

Since the republican national con-
vention the democratic press has
been busy telling the people of the ma
ton that the Chicago meeting was
simply gathering of the "board of
directors" and that few men nomin-
ated Roosevelt and framed the plat
form Of the republican party. Now this
cry must be forever stilled. The st.
Louis convention has been one single
march Of triumph for one element of
the van. No one else has had any In
fuence. Tammany, that greatest of
political machines, has submitted to
its sworn enemy and withdrawn oppo-
sition to his candidacy. Bryan, the
leader of four and eight years ago,
the champion Of the free silver theory
that hurried the downfall of the party
in two national elections, has been de-
feated and his counsel rejected. Hearst
with his millions and his newspapers,
his organizations and his employees,
was forgotten in the grand rush to get

at the head of the party now. How
completely he rules it was shown early
this morning when his candidate was

as before the convention.
