CANDIDATES as CAMPAIGN MANA
GEng

The impression is growing that Judge
Parker and Mr.. Roosevelt will be their
own campaign managers. 1t was sus-
pected that Mr.. Roosevelt intended to
manage his campaign as soon as It
was known that he wanted Mr.. Cor
telyou to fill the position of manager.
| Mr.. Roosevelt has said that he ex-
poets Mr.. COrtelyou to act upon his
! own judgment, but while he has con-
fidence in Mr.. Cortelyou it would be
| practically impossible for him not to
interfere with suggestions and direc-
lions; and perhaps Mr.. Cortelyou has
no objections to his assuming a part
of the tremendous responsibility that
rest upon the man who is in the posi-
ton of campaign manager.
OF course it isn't known who will
manage the Democratic campaign
Nothing will be known about that mat
ter with certainty until there is a
meeting of the Democratic National
Committee. 1t is understood that Mr.
Sheehan doesn't want the place, for
the reason that his health isn't robust,
and, besides. he thinks he can do bet
ter service by being a free lance. Mr..
Taggart wants it, and doubtless there
are other applicants for it, but 1t is
noticeable that a sentiment is cropping
out in favor of letting Judge Parker
manage his own campaign.
This sentiment is based upon the ac-
ton of Judge Parker in sending the
dispatch to the National Convention
In which he forced the convention to
accept the gold standard. OF course
he wouldn't have anything to do with
the details. He would simply outline
the party's policy on all questions
which would likely have an influence
on the partys chances of success.
1t isn't known of course whether or
not Judge Parker would make a good
campaign manager. The belief that he
would is based whNIy upon the rec
ord he made in connection with his
gold standard dispatch to the National
Convention. It is believed that he had
no suggestion in regard to that dis
patch, and it was so clearly the right
thing under the circumstances that he
is now being credited with having I'M
usual political acumen.
1t is admitted that Mr.. Roosevelt
is very shrewd political manager,
one of the shrewdest this country has
produced. He was named for Vice
President by the politicians of his
party for the purpose Of getting rid
of him, and he made himself master
of the party-so complete master
that he dictated his own nomination
and made his own platform. Such
feat had not been accomplished In
American politics before.
With the presidential candidates
their own political managers we should
have unique, If not a picturesque cam
paign. 1t would be a game of politics
that would keep public interest at the
highest pitch to the very end of the
contest.

RUsSIA,S HANDICAP.

Neither achievements nor supplies
are going to Russia's army in the Far
East by way of the water route. for
the very excellent reason that the wa
ter route is not safe. The whole de-
pendence of the army, therefore, is on
the land route, the trans Siberian Rail-
road In measure food supplies may
be drawn from Manchuria, but men,
arms and ammunition must come from
Russia, thousands of miles away,
across a dreary waste of country span
ned only by a single-track railroad.
The traffic manager of this railroad
has recently made a report to the Off
Gals at st. Petersburg with respect to
its availability and capacity as a mill
itary adjunct. According to this re-
port, an army of 100000 is the maxi
mum that the road can support in
Manchuria under the most favorable
circumstances. The line is working
well, but at its best it can transport
only a certain number of men per day,
in addition to munitions and supplies.
This maximum of transportation, 1t is
estimated, will be just about enough to
repair the waste of Kuropatkln's army.
In other words, the Russian comman-
der in-chief has now in Manchuria as
large an army as the railroad can sus-
tain. 1t cannot bring in more men
without cutting down the tonnage OF
supplies transported. and men without
provisions and ammunition are worse
than useless.
And this, as the traffic manager says
is the roads capacity under the most
favorable circumstances. In time OF
war the most favorable circumstances
are not to be calculated upon. Rather
the only safe basis of calculation is
the most adverse circumstances. The
Japanese have already crippled the
railroad south of Mukden so that il
is practically valueless; and they are
all the time creeping northward. And
as the road has already reached the
limit OF its capacity. with the Rus.
slams suffering reverses in almost
every conflict, the outlook for the sue.
cess of the Russian arms is not bright
The common view OF the matter Is
this: "oh, the Russians are bound tc
win because OF their vast number oil
men available and their immense re.
sources" But what do men and re,
sources amount TO IL they are 5000
miles away and there is no means O.

weak spot was her lack OF transpor.

II the Russians were themselves no
aware OF this weakness. II was the
fault of their bureaucratic system o.

A Hearst story.

An anonymous writer in the indie
pendent tells the following story as
illustrating Mr.. Hearst's belief that
money will buy the fruit of any mans
work."
Some time ago young writer ap-
piled to him for employment on his
New York newspaper, and was en-
gagged to fill a position which would
become vacant at the end of a week.
but in the interval the fact came to
the attention of university professor
who had always taken an interest in
his advancement.
Il am sorry" said the good man,
that you should have chosen that par
ticular school of journalism for your
professional start" And he proceeded
to descant upon the responsibility a
journalist owed to society. the inhu-
ence of one educated youths example
upon others of his class. the tone a
writer inevitably took from the char
acter of the journals he worked for,
etc. And your untarnished sense of
self-respect, my young friend" he con-
cluded, will be worth more to you,
when you reach my time of life, than
all the salaries an unprincipled en-
ployer can pour into your purse"
So impressed was the neophyte with
InlS lecture IN morals that ne called
upon Mr.. Hearst the next morning and
announced that he had changed his
mind about accepting the proffered
position. The editor scanned his face
shrewdly and then inquired the rea-
son. After much hesitancy the young
man told him the whole story, and
started to leave.
"Ah!" said Mr.. Hearst. "Be seated a
moment, please" And, turning to his
secretary, he added: Write a letter
at once to Prof. x, Y, present my
compliments, and say that I should be
pleased to receive from him a signed
article of 500 words-subject and treat
ment to be of his own choosing-for
the editorial page of next Sundays

smile, as he babe his caller good-by,

of that"
He did. The Sunday issue contained
signed article, which gave the paper
the reflection of a good mans fame,
and spread the influence of his exam
pie among other university professors,
and-did what to his sef-respect ?-all
at the net rate of so cents per word!

If Cyrus Townsend Brady is ever
lured into writing plays or even adapt
ing his own numerous novels, he will
certainly rival every other writer in
productivity, says the Boston Post.
AS novelist who hands out a book a
month With high class short stories
sandwiched in between, Mr. Brady
is well known, but he is also a Phil
adelphia minister and writes Sunday
sermons with equal facility.
While over in New York yesterday
to see his publishers, ne was button
holed by a theatrical manager who
dubbed over with a desire to handle
a play of the Rev. Brady's.
TITS fiattering and tempting, my
dear sir, but, really-nOw, reaily-I
think I'll stick to story writing just
yet a while" objected the novelist.
But think of the superior profits
on a successful play"
81 know, 1 know. But when you
write a serial story for a magazine,
no matter how bad it is, they can't
stop running it until you write Fins.

fore the second act on the opening
night"

WHERE IS THE MONEY TO COME
FRONT

The Legislature has agreed upon a
lower tax rate for this year. notwith-
standing the many applications for
larger appropriations. Where is the
money coming from TO meet these
appropriations? II is apparent that the
Increase In the tax returns will not
provide it. There will be an increase
in the returns. but the lower tax rate
Will doubtless offset IL. For several
years we have been asking that the
question of biennial sessions Of the
Legislature be submitted to the people.
Several constitutional amendments will
be submitted to them at the next cleo
ton. Why not also submit a biennial
sessions amendment?
We see no way in which the state
can economize to better advantage
than by having biennial sessions. AS
we have pointed out many times there
are only about four states that now
have annual sessions of the Legisls-
ture, and there are states that have
quadrennial sessions. Those that have
quadrennfal sessions have all the leg
islation they need.
Why not try biennial sessions in this
state? Who is it that insists upon an
nual sessions? Let those who do come
out and defend their position. Let it
be known why it is that it is thought
annual sessions are necessary.
If annual sessions are not necessary
why not use the money now spent for
one of the sessions every two years for
some other purpose? Besides, it would
be a great relief to have a session only
once in two years. There is altogether
too much legislation. A few good laws
enacted as the need for them arose
would be more satisfactory than the
mass of legislation that is now turned
out every year.
Is there no one i'm the Legislature
who is willing to take up this matter
and present it to that body? Let the
people express their opinion on it. The
politicians are always saying they are
willing to trust the people. Why not
consult them in respect to the question
of biennial sessions?

The number of sailings of passenger
ships from New York for Europe is de-
creasing each year. IT seems. There
were but 2l6 sailings last year, against
S4s sailings in 1888. But the tonnage
of last years sailings was almost dou-
bic the tonnage of 1888. That means,
Of course, that while the sailings are
becoming fewer. the ships are becom-
ing much larger. one ship of the pres
ent day represents almost the carrying
capacity Of two ships Of twenty years
ago. The big vessel is driving the
small vessel out of trade. We have
seen the same sort of thing at this port.
Twenty years ago the vessel OF 1000
tons coming into port was regarded as
a great ship; now we have regular
liners OF 5000 tons or more, with al
most daily sailings. The tendency to-
wards bigger ships Is universal. To
keep pace with the growth Of the ships
the harbors must have deeper water.
Savannah needs. and must have, a
channel OF thirty feet from the city TO
the sea.

Prices of provisions are relatively

bills are very low. An embroidered
gown that would cost $500 in New
York can be had in Manila for $50

Panama merchants and politicians
are said to be much exercised because
Of the establishment by this govern
ment Of two ports of entry. at Ancon
and Cristobal, in the canal zone. The
Panamans had calculated that all of
the merchandise imported for the ca
nal works would be entered at the es-
tablished cities of Panama and Colon,
and that the trade of those cities would
be much increased thereby. But they
reckoned without taking into consider
alton the personality of the head of
the administration at Washington. Mr.
Roosevelt found a warrant for splitting
the Colombian republic in twain, and
1t is a safe conclusion that he will find
warrant for establishing new ports
of entry wherever he pleases, without
asking the Panamans anything about
it. And If the isthmian people make
too much noise about it, he may find a
warrant for wiping them out alto
gether as a government. He carries a
big stick.
