FORTUNATE EDITORS.

John Sharp Williams of Mississippi,
Democratic leader i'll the House OF
Representatives, is without all oppo-
nent in his district, and can represent
it in Washington as long as he lives.
Recently he sent to each newspaper
editor in his district check for $40,
payment for the publication of the
official announcement of his candI-
dacy. A good many of the editors of
the Eighth district have returned the
checks, and a more eloquent tribute
could hardly be paid, it is asserted,
as the average Mississippi editor is
not in the habit of returning $40
bills.-Exchange.
The Mississippi editoris indeed for
tunate- Not many Maryland scribes
ever have the chance to thus show
their magnanimity, and retainers
generally come in the shape of Con-
gressional Records and garden seed.
Once, though, we did get a useful
map, and so much has it been cher
ished that even yet its massive pro-
portions adorn the walls of the sane
tum as a mute, yet speaking evil
dence of the appreciation we hold for
our public representatives.

A DEMOCRATIC LEADER.

Robert L. Pattison, who died at
his home near Philadelphia last week,
had what we suppose to be the
unique honor Of being twice elected
Governor Of Pennsylvania on a
Democratic platform. vt 4 time
when corruption was rife i'll his State,
and the patience of honest men of
both parties had been exhausted,

troller of Philadelphia tan office, by
the way, to which he had been first
chosen while the State candidates OF
his party were defeated, and again,
for his second term when the Repub-
lican Presidential candidates were
elected by over 20, 900 majority J sug-
gested his nomination for the Gov
ernorship, and, by the aid of a large
Independent Republican vote, he was
elected in 1882, and again, after an
interval, in 1891. In both terms, by
vetoes, by appointments, and by urg'
ing legislation, he aided the cause OF
political integrity, and when a re-
form and reapportionment measure
was defeated i'll the Legislature, did
not hesitate, though in vain, to call
all extra session for its reconsidera,
ton. Later on he was defeated both
for the office of Governor and that Of
Mayor of Philadelphia. His reputa'
tion as strong, able, and thorough
ly high-minded man was beyond criti'
cism or question: Outlook.

Ou Tuesday next those OF our readers
who are voters will be called upon to
register at the polls their choice OF men
for the various national, state and
county offices from President OF the
United States to county coroner. The
privilege given the American voter is
greater than that enjoyed by the citizens
of any other nation either foreign or
modern. To him is given the privilege
of choosing from among his fellows the
men who will make his laws, the ones
who will interpret and the ones who
will execute them. With this great
privilege, however. comes responsibility
as great as the privilege, /. e., that OF
deciding which of the candidates and
which of the policies they represent IS
in his judgment, the best for his country s
and for his own interests.
As % national pC licies there seems TO
be no great difference Of opinion as TO
what is best for the country and for the

Democratic faith have candidate for
President and national platform, but
it is very certain that neither has been
by them in Michigan this
year And yet the Republican party
and the Republican platform stand for
the same principles which our good
friends in 1896 and 1900 prophesied
would bring destruction to the country.
We have not the least doubt that Theo-
dore Roosevelt will this year receive the
largest vote ever given in the state of

oUAYs PRACTICAL JOKE.

So Governor Pennypacker Of Pennsyl-
vania did not get the nomination for
the supreme bench after all. He want
ed it, to be sure. but he was told to re-
fuse. and he did it.
In his stead John p. Elxin was
named. oh the irony of 1t all Penny
packer didn't want to be governor half
as much as he wanted a place on the
supreme bench; while Elkin wanted to
be governor, but did not find judicial
life attractive.
But they were in the hands Of the
juggler who smiled sardonlcally and
gave to each what he did not crave.
while Withholding what he wanted
most. And there is something more
than a suspicion that Elkin is as unfit
for a judgeship as Pennypacler Is for
chief executive. But such are the vag-
aries OF popular government-so called.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Pity the Democrats.

From the Chicago Journal
The pitiful plight Of the Democratic
party as It approaches the Presidential
campaign should arouse universal SYM
pathy. For the first time In the history
OF the country the party in opposition
finds itself without a leg 10 stand on.
The best it can procure in the way OF
an issue" upon which 10 appeal to the
voters is the ''unsafeness" of President
Roosevelt, and that, as everybody but
the infatuated German knows. is worse
than no issue at all The country does
not think President Roosevelt unsafe"
On the contrary, It thoroughly approves
the three actions Of his upon which the
Democrats base their acpusation-ihe
coal strike arbitration. tha Northern
Securities suit ana the Panama Canal
business.
1t is evident that German and the
other Democratic captains have a pri-
vate and personal definition Of an Aun-
safs" President They mean that 4
