The Hearst candidacy for President
is receiving unprecedented comment at
present in the national capitait from the
fact that many papers in this country
who have hitherto igonred Mr.. Hearst's
candidacy are now making generous
comments thereupon. Some of the
papers that seek to belittle Mr..
Hearst's candidacy are edited by men
or rather controlled by men, who have
made signal success in other walks of
life. but a dismal failure of the news
paper business. This is notably true
of one Frank A. Mlnsey, who made
money as a publisher of cheap
magazine, but who has lost about all
he has made as the publisher of daily
newspapers. MIR. Munsey's paper,
the Washington Times, attacks Mr.
Hearst bitterly without presenting
arguments against him and without
shadow of excusel This may be ex-
pected of a man who employed men
responsible for the post office investi
CATION, but who had not the courage to
interests and who discharged from his
service the very man who started this
investigation into the rottenness of
Republican oficialism. These attacks
on Mr.. Hearst from such source are
causing comment here and thereby
increasing the>standing of Mr.. Hearst
as Democrat and an honest man
The recent decision Of the Republican
Attorney General in the state OF New
York. not to bring action against the
Coal Trust under the application of
Mr. Hearst. has raised the trust issue
as the living issue of the next cam
palgn, and Mr.. Hearst as its exponent,
in the minds of the leaders of De-
mocracy. CHAs. A EDWARDS.

ORDINARY PRIVILEGE DENIED.

Under date OF Kansas City Mo-,
January 2T. the Associated press car
ried dispatch to the effect that a
number Of the independent slaughter
houses In Kansas City Kans., will be
forced to suspend operations unless
they are able to secure government
inspection Of their meat. It is an
nounced that these independent con
cerps have been notified that they will
not be permitted to sell their products
unless their meat bears the stamp of
government approval. The owners of
some of these slaughter houses made
application for government inspection.
but there seems to be some delay in
inducing the department. of agriculture
to set. These concerns have been able
to undersell the big packers by dong
their own killing since the recent ad.
vance in the price of packing house
products. Is 1t not strange that with
all OF Mr.. RoooseYelt's boasted CAM
paign against the trusts. independent
business men who undertake to enter
into competition with the trust mag
mates are not able readily to obtain
the very ordinary privilege of having
their meats inspected under federal
authority?

SENATOR ALLIsoN's LONG TERM.

iowa Statesman Has Been Long in
the Upper House.
William B. Allison of Iowa entered
the United States senate in 1873, and
there is now no member Of that body
who has served the same length of
time continuously. A large number of
famous men were to be met there
thirty years ago, and Mr.. Allison
feels it Is quite distinction to be the
sole survivor Of such membership.
While it is true that two members
(Stewart of Nevada and Mitchell Of
Oregon) now there were there thirty
years ago, Senator Allison has seen
them go and their successors take
their seats and again witnessed their
return. He is the one man who has
been member and witnessed a COM
plete change in the senate, himself

BRIGHTER THAN EVER.

s-4 fe 4
From all sections of the country
comes the voice of prophecy announc
ing that chances for democratic sue
cess in the campaign of this year are
brighter than at any time in the his
tory of the nation. that the people are
demanding a change in administration
and that they are weary of trust dom
ination in national affairs and OF the
extravagance Of the government un.
der republican rule. In this connec-
tion Governor Joseph NJ. Terrell of
Georgia, in a recent interview said:
THAT the democratic party has an
excellent chance OF winning the ma
tional fight this year, there is no doubt
in my mind. Everything points to a
desire in many sections OF the country
for change in the management of
the Dation's affairs both because of
things the republican administration
has done aud because of things it has
left undone. Its policy has produced
a state of unrest despite general bus
mess conditions. The people of com
munities heretofore undoubtedly repub
l,can have been giving thought to the
affairs of state and their conclusion.
as gather it. is not favorable to the
party in power.
THE people are becoming more i'm
pressed than ever with the wasteful
extravaganza Of the republican admin
istratration, an extravaganza that has
grown and spread in almost every de-
partment of the government until
1t is nothing short of startling. 1t
was only a few years ago that the
whole country was shocked by the
ammo uncement that single congress
had spent billoin dollars. The last
congress spent more than a. billion
and half. Both of these were re-
publican congresses by good majnri-
ties, and so the increase has been
going on under republican rule while
the increase in population and neces.
sIties of the country have not moved
forward with pace to justify It.. AT
the same rate and with the same con-
dltiOns of government, it is evident
that a two billion dollar congress will
be fact of the not very distant fu.
ture. This would mean a tax of more
than $25 annually Oh every man. wo
man and child in the United States,
which is several times as much as the
highest state. county and city tax paid
in any state of the nation. The demo
Gratis are pledged to cut down these
enormous and extravagant expendi
lures and they have already shown
that they mean to do it,"
He declares further that the trusts
and the tariff will be the principal
issues and that these go together, as
is evidenced by the admission of Mr..
Havemeyer, head of the sugar trust,
who said that the tariff is the mother
of trusts. He called attention to the
fact that the republican party has
made no effort to check criminal com
binations of capital and that these
have grown to such enormous proper
tions that their effect is felt in the
home and on the farm.
And who pays the price? The con
sumner foots the bills in the increased
price of the food he eats and the
clothes he wears while a republican
congress extravagantly expends the
dollars thus extorted by the million
aires.-Wichita Beacon.

BELIEVE IN "ObEAH"
SUPERSTlTloUs NATIVES OF THE
WEST INDIES.
Their Credulity Keeps Them in Sub
lection to the White Planters and to
the More Crafty Members of Their
Own Race.

The French islands have two super
st1tlons which are not to be found in
some others of the West Indies. These
are belief in some sort of werewolf
or vampire, which lives on the blood
OF wayfarers, upon whom it leaps
when they are abroad in the night
time, or of sleepers whom it finds in
lonely huts; and, second, a belief in
what is known in the British islands
as the rolling calf monster with
blazing eyes, which prowls at night,
clanking chain suspended from it's
neck, and at whose touch men die.
The following description is given Of
the typical obeah man:
There is something so indescriba-
bly, sinister about an obeah mans ap-
pearance that he can always be picked
out by one who has much to do with
bis class Dirty, ragged, unkempt, de-
formed, there is yet about him an air
OF cunning authority. His small, pierc.
ing eyes peer viciously at the wit
nesses arrayed against him in court
for all the world like those of a cor
nered rat. Black men may be seen
TO turn as gray as ashes under the
terror Of that baleful gaze, and often
it is only with difficulty that incrimi-
mating evidence can be dragged out
OF them. The wizards awesome pres
ence, however, does not appall an un-
sentimental British judge. He orders
him twelve months hard and sound
logging. frequently the obaah man
appeals against his sentence to the
higher court, and in Jamaica it is
not at all unusual for him to get of
on some technical point, owing to the
defective drafting of the law. OF
course he tells the ignorant negroes
that he procured freedom by his magi-
cal powers and thus their superstition
is strengthened"
British law Furnishes obeah with
logging and Imprisonment. Neverthe-
less obeah is practiced by the white
planters almost as matter of neces-
sity in order to frighten the negroes
and prevent them from appropriating
the produce of the plantations.
You may walk through your friends

stuck on top Of stick, a small bot
tie full of dead cockroaches tied to
branch, or miniature black coffin
placed on little mound. Hello. old
mani" you say, working obeah-eh?
III come and see you fiogged at the
JAIL. He tries to laugh it of shame
facedly, saying there is really no other
way to make chose wretched natives
keep their hands OF the crops. That
is true. 1t is needless, however, to go
to the trouble of placing these things
about your plantation. If some night
prowler has stolen your bananas, all
you need to do is to say next morning
in the hearing of the natives: "It's
all right, I don't care. I've got the
footprint" You will see them whis-
per among themselves in an awe
stricken way and presently one of
them will come up to you, nearly
weeping with terror, and confess him.
self the thief. The superstition is that
it you dig out the earth upon which
the robber has impressed his foot and
throw it into the fire he will waste
away and die unless he gives himself
up and takes his punishment.

GREAT IN BUSINESS.

In @ recent number of The World Today an article appears on "Graft in Private Business" The article is written by the president of large manufacturing corporation, and han dles the subject without gloves, ex- posing the reign of graft that per- meates practically all lines of busi- ness.
 This writer says that graft runs through nearly all lines of private business. He gives instances in which the purchasing agents for big corporations were bribed by travelling salesmen to secure order for goods. He tells of one such salesman who was permitted to draw on his house for $3O, 900 year for expenses, with no questions asked by his employers. He cites instances in which salesmen paid purchasing agents sums of Q thousand dollars or more to get or ders. He says he knows of purchas- ing agents who draw salaries of two or three thousand dollars a year and who live in houses that cost them S25,0 900. Some of these men, he de- clares, accumulate fortunes in 8 few years on small salaries. While man. ufacturers do not really approve of this method of getting business, they still wink at it, and permit it to be done, because their rivals do the same thing and business can be obtained in no other way.
 If these statements are true-if graft runs through private business in that way-it does not seem to be just to assume that all the corruption in this country is centered in the political grafters who are occasionally ex. posed and punished for official mis-

Few measures passed by congress have produced results as immediate as is the case with the irrigation law. The s25, 900, 900 already on hand will grow rapidly, for the law has caused demand for land hitherto unstable. Government engineers have taken hold of their part of the work with energy, and results will soon be reached in several states and terri tories.
