erwise than with resentment the idea
Of our invading the country. Spain
moreover, with peculiar interests in
Morocco, is so distraught with the pos

she is herself sending warships tc
Tangier.
The situation is very much the same
as one that is continually recurring ir
the western hemisphere, except that
the respective positions of the United
States and the European powers are
reversed. Morocco represents in AT
RIGA the type of government which OBJ

Against these incompetent, irrespon-
sible concerns the European nations
repeatedly have had cause of COM
plant. Our unifrom attitude has been
that no interference-at least that no
invasion-by foreign nation other
than ourselves could be permitted. We
have not consistently admitted the
other side of our proposition-namely
that II we do not allow Europe to keep
our neighbors straight, we are bound
to keep them ourselves.

much to secure it in his student by

INTER.URBAN RAILWAYS.

The growing tendency toward the
building of inter-urban railways in
Iowa is a splendid indication that the
state is progressing as it should. 1t
does not mean that the agricultural
pursuits that have made Iowa rich are
to be neglected, but rather that they
will be given more opportunity for de-
velopment if inter-urban roads are
built. The farmer will be enabled to
make a trip to town in few minutes
instead of giving half day to it. 1t
will be possible for him to keep in
closer touch with the world and to ell.

without it's inconvenience. It will
give the residents of the rural districts
and small towns the benefits of trad

displayed and better prices are OBJ
tainable. Wherever the inter-urban
has been tried it has been found a
success and the district through which
lines run are always progressive. AS
yet there are few lines, but the time
is coming when the state will be a
net work of inter-urbans, and their
good effects will be felt from border

THE TWO M'cLELLANs.

Des Moines Register and Leader
An impression is gaining ground that
the younger George B. Mcclellan is
possessed exactly of those qualities
in which the elder George B. McClel-
ian was wanting. Nature seems to
have been struggling for an equilib-
rum.
When Tammany persuaded the
younger Mcclellan to stand for mayor
of Greater New York, he named but
one condition, he must be left free to
act upon his own Judgment of what
New York needed in the way Of ad-
ministration, and especially upon the
moral side. This might mean much
or little. 1t seems in McClellan's case
to mean much. Holland" who is an
experienced observer, writes to the
Philadelphia Press that the split be-
tween Murphy. the Tammany leader,
and McCarren, the boss of Brooklyn,
is due wholly to the Mcclellan pro-
gram of suppressing vice in the united
cities, in which he has Murphy's sup
port.
Mayor Mcclellan believes Tammany
stands in disgrace in the eyes Of the
country solely because Tammany ad-
ministrations have lacked courage in
dealing with the moral problems of the
great metropolis. He does not pro-
pose to repeat the mistakes of ex-
Mayor Van Wyck, If he can avoid it.
He has the ex-mayor's counsel to sus-
tain him, for Van Wyck admits that
the fatal blunder of his administration

SIGNIFICANCE OF Mr.. BRYAN.

Worlds Work.-Mr. Bryan is an in
teresting spectacle. Twice defeated
for the presidency on platform that
the public sentiment even of his own
party now regards as obsolete, to say
the least of it, and having surely no
expectation and certainly no chance of
a third nomination, he is yet busily
engaged in making speeches in the
east and in the west, apparently to
prevent the democrats from nominal
ing any man who is displeasing to
him. If he cannot longer be leader,
he would like. in a sense, to be dicta.
tor to his party. This is the some
what immodest spectacle that he pre-
sents to his enemies-a man consum-
ed by vanity.
To his friends he seems a public
leader who, though he no longer hopes
for office himself. is so earnest about
the great principle that he stands for
as to give his time to explaining it
out of sheer zeal for the public well
fare.
Both views Of him are partly correct.

THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.

upon the men who are today
gatherlng in Chicago for the national
republican convention devolves an i'm
portant task. They will be makers of
history when they nominate candi-
dates for the presidency and vice
presidency Of the United States. They
VIII place in nomination the men who,
Judging from all present indications,
VIII guide the ship of state for the
coming four years. Their choice must
be wise from many view points.
The candidate for the first office In
the land is already chosen and Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be nominated
unanimously for the presidency The
man whose name will be next on the
ticket is yet to be selected and as
much care must be exercised in his
selection as if he were going to make
the race for the presidency That the
possibility Of his becoming president
is not too remote has been too re-
Gently evidenced to need citing. Dis
ease, accident and the assassin's hand
are three mighty enemies to the plans
of men.
The man whom the republicans this
year nominate for the vice-presidency
2 Sa{1SuASi, sOOyol1u oil QuSSIlOl, U0 Ou0
whose ideas are in accord with those
Of Theodore Roosevelt. Next Novem-
hsr, when the voters of the nation
tAst their ballots, they will vote for
the principles represented by the
heads of the tickets. Mr.. Roosevelt s
is; first of all. thorough republican.
In addition to that, he has policies
which cannot be defined in a party
platform. His methods Of dealing with
great affairs of state, while they are
all in accordance with his party affil-
iations and the outline of the platform
upon which his election was secured,
depend in great measure upon him
self. The vice-president must be a
man who will thoroughly understand
these policies and their Objects
man. in short, who will guarantee the
people who vote for Roosevelt and
Rooseveltian craftsmanship that if the
leader through any decree of fate be-
comes unable to carry his administra-
ton to a close, the nations affairs
will continue in the line he has
mapped out.
This is the task the delegates to
tomorrow's convention are facing. The
men who named them as delegates
have confidence that they will lay
aside every prejudice, every personal
preference if need be, in order to select
the man who will best fill second place
in the affairs Of the nation. Every
delegate is man who has been promi-
nent in party councils for many years,
a tried and true republican.
Whoever may be made the nominee
for vice-president on the republican
ticket this week, the voters of the ma
ton may rest assured that he will be
the man for the place.

The habit of leadership is hard to
throw off, and harder still the habit Of
public speaking to audiences that APP
plaud. Perhaps the man of sonorous
sentences never lived who could take
an accurate measure of his own per-
formances, from Cicero's day to our
own. When thousands applaud you.
you are sure that you are right. 1t is
easy to believe, too. that you do a
public service by your oratory. Effec-
tive public speaker as Mr.. Bryan is
(and we have had few more effectively
his vanity is inevitable, even IL I'M
pardonable.
And there is more than this to be
said. For, however much Mr.. Bryan
may fool himself, he has strong
moral impulse and he makes a strong
appeal to the moral sense of his SYM
palmetto hearers. He protests against
great wrong. He does not make his
protest effective with men who think
clearly, because he presents no prac-
tlcal remedy. He sees that the body
polite Is sick, but he either has no
cure or cure that Is worse than the
disease. His course of reasoning is
this: The plutocrats-to use his own
phrase-win elections by their cam
palgn funds. The men and the par
ties that they put in power are under
obligations to them. They pay these
obligations by granting special privi-
leges. we are, then, ruled by pluto
Gratis. The old conception of demo-
cracy-a political society in which the
people really rule themselves and in
when every man has an equal oppor-
tunity-has not been realized, and has,
IN fact, almost been forgotten. This is
true. Every thoughtful man feels the
danger that we may be even drifting
out of sight of the old ideal.
Since Mr.. Bryan has no remedy for
the wounds that industrialism inf1icts
on democracy, his emphasis on the
evils that we suffer may only
make them worse; for he may make
class feeling stronger by stirring UP
dlscontent that he cannot allay. Yet
there is great moral truth behind his
Yerbose defamation. He sees it toe
dimly to formulate it helpfully. He
talks round about 1t, at "a distance;
and his program to help us Is mud
died. But long after he has been pro.
nounced dead by his critics he con-
t1nues to speak to sympathetic audi
ences-to little purpose, no doubt;
but his reception does give evidence
Of deep rooted conviction that some
thing is wrong in the warfare between
man and mammon." Mr.. Bryan Is
no longer national figure, for he is
discredited prophet; but he is a
force crying in the wilderness. and
many hear him with a half faith. This
half faith becomes disappointment at
last. But another orator of the OPP
pressed will then take up the cry; and
so we go on
