THE GENTLEMAN BURGLAR

BILE He is literary creation, Ike the

monster, Kiplings MowgIl and the rest
of the crew Of prodigies that dwell

AS character in fiction the gentle
man burglar" could be made plausible
and picturesque, for when we get into
the realm Of fancy there Is an implied
contract that the reader shall accept
the authors premises and not bother
about possibilities.
A burglar is just thief-about the
meauest of thieves.
To man endowed with qualities OF
refinement and consideration of 9th
ers and honor which are the attri-
butes of gentleman burglary or other
theft is impossible The pride Of such
a man, his regard for his own opinion
Of himself, would prevent his sneak
ing into another mans house and tax
ing his plate or his wife's jewelry
Then ii must be remembered that the
burglar is prepared to do murder to
accomplish his robberies, and the idea
Of gentleman committing murder for
gain Is too Inconsistent even for tic-
ton
A gentleman burglar ID contra

or a tall pygmy. He may be better
dressed or his booty may be larger than
that OF most burglars, but when 1t is
all summed up he is a thief-just q

The National Grange Wants
Good Roads

The farmers are as a class conser-
vative in their views, and slow to
move. They do their thinking frat
and talking afterwards. The farmers
of this country have been reading and
thinking about road Improvement
and the best way to secure that much
desired result. They have considered
the burden of local taxation and labor
as the means Of building good roads,
and have found this long tried plan
to be n failure, except in limited 10"
calities. They have studied the state.
aid plan and observed the great ad-
vance made under it. Finally, they
have been studying .he question OF
national aid, combined with state and
local aid, and they o"puar to have
concluded thet at in the way for
which they long have sought" "The
Grange i'm It's national meeting at
Rochester, last November, came out
with the following strong and une-
quivocal declaration;
H "Whereax The United States gov
eminent haB expended vast amounts
Of money in the Improvement OF
transportation facilities by river and
harbor appropriations and has donat
ed vast tracts of valuable land in aid
of the construction of railroads.
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That
the National Grange favors the inaug
uration of national policy for the
improvement of highways, and the
appropriation by Congress OF a liber-
nj amount to establish n co,nprehen-
sive system of road improvement
through the cooperation OF Federal
and state governments, suggesting
that the general features OF what is
termed the Brownlow bill emcody the
essential features of such policy.
Resolved That we call all State
Pomona and Subordinate Oranges to
take prompt and vigorous action up
on this important matter, and We
hereby authorize the Legislative com.
mittee of the National Grange 10 in
augurate and conduct an aggressive
campaign in securing Federal aid tol
Improvement OF highways. Also that

The "Imperiai" Bo.ey-1Ian.

The country has OutgrOwn the witch
craft frenzy, the spirit-rapping frauds
the blue-glaSs cure, the greenback aud
free silver cra2es, and it is rapidly re-
covering from other more or less harmful
fadS. These forms of popular enthusi-
assn having had violent and almost un-
DISTRACTED sway for time, have, like
certain acute diseases, made their run,
departed and left not Il wreck behind"
But the DOGGY man, Imperialism,
haunting but few. and not seriously in
Communicating even that few, stays longer
with us than any of his wild-eyed and
nor" commonplace brother phantoms, de-
lusons and bugaboos.
Washington was accused of n wish to
create an empire, and was roundly abus-
ed during his Presidency for his alleged
ambition. He was described as Il men
ace to the country he had fought to make
into Il nation. He only smiled and went
on his glorious way.

DO NOT WANT A CHAN GE.
People Are Willing 20 Continue the
Preaent Administration.

The constitution Of the United States
requires an election for President and
Vice President every -four years. The
provision is mandatory and cannot be
escaped Under it the people are called
upon TO vote for President and Vice
President every fourth year without re-
gard to politics. the record. or the work
of the administration in power. The cleo
ton must be held whether u change is
desirable or not.
There is reason TO believe that large
majority of the American people do not
desire change in the national admins
tration at the present time, and that If
it were u matter of choice with them no
election would be held this year. A ma
tional election always intcrferes with
business more or less, md as the business
of the country grows the feeling increases
that, in the absence of any reason for
II change a presidential election is dis
turbing factor that might well be dis
pensed with if the constitution permit
ted. That is the situation at present.
The great mass of the people are so
well satisfied with the present admins
trntion that they do not desire a change,
and if the constitution did not require an
election to be held they would regard 1t
as unnecessary.
Who wants a changer Not the farm
ers, for they never were more prosper
Gus or better satisfied than they are at
present. Not the business men, for bust
ness is satisfactory. Not manufacturers,
for American manufacturers are outstrip-
ping those of all other countries. Not
wage-earners, for there are more men
employed a good wages to-day than ever
before in the history of the country. Not
railroad men. for the transportation bust
ness has grown enormously during the
last few years and still gives promise OF
futurC growth. In short, no large class
Of oui varied population can be nance
but has good reason to desire con
| tinuance of present conditions. If j
were not for the constitutional require
merit the people would have preferred
| that no election took place this year.
The only exceptions are the Democrat
| ic party leaders and those unfortunate
| people who have not the sense TO le
well enough alone.

WANT A REAL LEADER.
Democrats Finally Realize that Par.
ker Js Noneuity.

Democratic newspapers continue 20 de-
mand that Parker withdraw from his
shell and play the role Of leader. Sag
of Silence" sounds well, they say, but
the phrase won't win votes. Give MS a
man who is capable of arousing enthus-
iasm or we are beaten Democratic eli
tors are crying. we don't want Hill.
Shcehan and Belmont kept in the fore
ground, while Parker is muZzled at
Esopus.' The editors should have
thought of this before Parker was nomi-
mated. They might have realized, had
they given the matter thought, that
Parker would be nonenity, with such
willy politicians as Hill and Sheehan in
charge of party affairs. Truly. the Demo
crazy is not more of happy family
than it was four years ago when it had
Bryan as an aggressive leader. Com
menting on the demand that Parker as
sumo the leadership, the Des MOines
Register and Leader says:
NO man ever entered national cam
paign hampcred by advisers so diametri
cally opposed on every vital issue. He
might as well expect to make a pair of
| Snmese twins out of Cleveland aud
| Bryan as to assume that he can an
nounce an aggressive, affirmative and
| positive program that will not at once
be set upon by an influential element
| of his following.
Judge Parker was nominated TO play
the role he is playing. 1t is unfair of
! the men who foresee defeat TO begin
at this carly stage TO saddle the blame
on him. He is just the sort of leader
he was held out to be, just the sort Of
man he always has been. He is con-
Quoting exactly the campaign that his
twenty years on the bench gave pro
mise of. If the campaign is a failure.
let the men who planned it bear the
blame. Judge Parker has deceived no
body, and is acting his part in the poiti-
cal drama exactly as it appears il the

HINDSIGHT.
On. Of the Strong Peculiarities of the
| Democratic Party.

The Democratic party has been aptly
compared to man sitting in the last
seat in the last car of railway train,
and riding backward. He never saw
anything until he had got by it. This
striking popularity of the party is as
conspicuous to-day as 1t was in the six
ties seventies, eighties and nineties
The Democratic party lives to pro-
test, to warn, to oppose II never APP
preciated what the war for the preserva-
ton of the Union meant until IT was all
over. Even now large section OF 1t
has not arrived at the civilized view of
slavery. 1t takes about q half century
10 get any great event into correct focus
for the Democratic eye. OF late, some
of the Democrats have begun to realize
the greatness of Abraham Lincoln, but
these Democrats are men who have re-
ceived their education in Republican
communities so obtaining the benefits of
up to date schools, colleges and churches.
The full significance of the American
occupation and control of the Philip
pines has not yet dawned upon what
| takes tile place, in the Democratic make
! up, of understanding Neither has the
| open door in China affected the same
set of nerve tissues and atoms, in the
| least, because of some constitutional lack
| of power in the combination TO compre-
bend what is going on at the time when
| the thing is happening.
! For the same reason the immense i'm
portance and significance of the cstab-
| lishment of the new department of Com
merce and Labor with a Bureau of Cor
porations. has not dawned upon the Dem.
ocratic mental machinery.
Well. never mind When the living
thinking. working world has vbirled by,
the Democratic brethren will see in a
hazy manner, from their perch at the
end Of the train. And they will, as us
nal, protest, warn, oppose and then
dream on,
The Democracy always wears long
distance glasses and looks backward ovel
the track. If by chance it takes off its
"far-aways" and looks ahead, it turns
into Republicanism This happens some
times. Witness the many recent CONVEX
| SiouS

Parker says if he is elected he will
cut off the old soldiers age disability
pension by revoking Order rs. But the
old soldiers don't seem TO be the least
bit scared
Parker says he is in favor of proceed
ing with due diligence" in constructing
the Panama canal, but he thinks the
Roosevelt way was 'source of regret
TO many" But Roosevelt is not trou
bled.
And Parker says that the management
of our foreign affairs has excited serious
apprehension" in some quarters. But
the American people are not among the
apprehensive.
Then, Parker is in a bad way about
'Imperalism," hut the citizens of the
United States only smile when they hear
that word.

ROOSEVELT FOR PEACE.
President IL Now Negotiating New
Arbitration Treaties.

Charles Cheney Hyde, lecturer on in
ternatonal law AT Northwestern Univer-
sity. Chicago, says:
During his reception TO the members of
the Notwithstanding Onion on Septem-
Der ~ President Roosevelt made n state
citizens throughout the country, irrespective
Of their party affiliations lie said: We
are even now taking steps to secure arbi-
tration treaties with all other governments
which are Wiling TO enter Into them with
us Those who oppose him viii admit that
the President would not have spoken in this
way IL he were not making the attempt
In good faith 10 conclude with friendly
nations treaties which provide for the set
Element by peaceful methods Of differences
of II serious character which diplomacy may
fail to adjust. Those who admire him are
reioiccd To hear him express In no uncer-
tain tone his desire to substitute arbitra-
tioh for the sword us Il means of settle,
ment Of disputes to which the United
States may he Il party.
Equally significant was the Presidents
promise to the ter-Pariiamentarians to
call another conference Of the powers at
The Hague. The whole world knows that
that promise will be kept and that repre-
sentatiyes from the several nations Will
meet again at The Hague, possibly in 1862
in order TO solve some problems which still
yeX civilization and alarm commerce. The
results to be anticipated are far-rcaching
and practical. International agreement as
to what constitutes contraband OF war may
he secured, also the rights of neutral ship
pers may be established. In short, the
law OF nations may be clearly determined
rights of states fixed where there Is still
uncertainty If such a work be accomplish
| ed through the direct efforts OF Theodore
| Roosevelt not only the United States, but
every other civilized nation as well, will
have just cause to be profoundly crate
| full to him.
