Back Seat For Bryan.

Lady Francis Cook, formerly
Tennessee Claflin of New York,
came over tothis country to start
a woman's party. She says Su-
san B. Anthony dosen't know
how to conduct a crusade and
that she will show her how to
secure the ballot for women. A
lot of money and a regular or
ganization will be needed, she de.
clares, and she will at once pro.
ceed to form political clubs
in every large town and city.
Men will be asked to help, for it
pill not be an exclusive party.
If all her plans are carried out
as she promises, Mr.. Bryan and
his reorganized party may as
we'll take a back seat now. There
will not be room for both. --Indl-

The Socialist Vote.

There is, we think, no doubt
that the Socialist movement is
growing rapidly in the United
States. Mr.. Debs received about
so, 900 votes in Chicago. In Mil
waukee he ran ahead of Judge
Parker, and not far behind Mr..
Roosevelt. 1t is estimated that
his vote in this state is 10000
greater than it was four years
ago. He is thought to have had
100000 votes in Illinois; 10000
in Indiana; 5000 in Ohio; 90, 900
in Texas: 5000 in Wisconsin,
and 22,000 in Oregon. 1t is be-
ieved that his total vote in the
country will be at least 500, 1000,
This is probably the largest vote
third party candidate ever re-
ceived with the exception of the
million votes cast for General
Weaver in 1892.
But we think that there is con-
siderable encouragement al /
consolation to be derived from
the very size of the vote. For
it is clear that many men voted
for Debs, not because they be-
lieved in his doctrines, but be-
cause they wishe dto defeat Judge
Parker Some of the more radi-
cal Bryanties stayed from the
polls, others voted blank ballots,
others voted directly for Mr..
Roosevelt, but undoubtedly many
of thom took temporary refuge
in the Debs camp. We believe
that if these latter were subtract
ed from the Debs following the
mans vote would shrink to COM
paratively insignificant proper
tions. Nor should it be forgot
ten that the Socialist movement
has powerful foes among the
very classes which it might be
supposed would be favorable to
it. The trade unions are most
hostile to Mr. Debs and his ideas.
There is, too. war between the
Debs and the following. Mr.
Bryan protests that he is not a
Socialist, while Mr.. Debs believes
that Bryan betrayed the cause
of the people when he consented
to support Judge Parker.-Indi-

Democrats Will Wait.

And what effect will the result
of Tuesdsy's election have upon
the defeated party? Often defeat
can be turned to advantage. For
four years to come the democrat
ic party will not be responsible
for anything that may befall the
country panic, depression, or
anything of that sort. Obvious
ly discernment. prudence. wis
dom, point to the awaiting policy
Ito simply permitting things to
take their course without at
tempting dabbling that can do no
possible good. Impulsive, impet-
uOuS fellows there will be found
everywhere, who will insist
strenuously upon mapping out
line of action for the future,
pressing TO the front new leaders
and doing sundry and diverse
things that ought not be done
The more effectually such man
uevers are discouraged and dis
countenanced the better it will
be for the democratic party. Ag-
itatiOn now and in the near fut-
ure can simply be productive of
discord and dlssension.
Sufficient into the day are the
politics thereof. Give the logic
of events a chance to come into
play. That logic often accom-

Mr.. Ware Resigns.

Eugene f. Ware. commissiOs
er of pensions, has handed in
his resignation. Probably he is
counting the days and longing
for the arrival of the one that
will free him from the cares of
office and enable him to go back
to Kansas, to the law and to the
occasional manufacture of verses.
His muse may prompt him to
put in rhyme the emotions of
that rare man who voluntarily
gives up a good Office.
1t is generally understood that
Mr.. Ware did not wish to be-
come commissioner-that he was
a DIR afted man and not a volun-
teer. The story is not improba-
BILE. No man who loves quiet
life and breads perpetual criti-
cism will become commissioner of
pensions. Other bureau chiefs
glide quietly through official life,
but the head of the pension ou-
reau cannot. Ifheis not charged
with letting down all the bars
for the benefit of the ''pension
sharks" he is accused of a lack
of patriotism. He is held up to
scorn as a personal enemy of the
old soldiers. No matter how
careful he may pick his way he
is bound no make enemies. Mr..
Ware has not escaped criticism
which he deemed unjust but which
he did not enjoy.-Chicago Tri.

La Toilette And The Railroad.

1t is a proud moment for Wis
consin.
Wisconsin, first of all the states
of the union, has made it clear
that the pivot of modern indus
trial life is the railroads.
La Toilette said that the rail-
roads should pay their fair share
of taxes and should be supervis-
ed by a state railroad commission.
The railroads, therefore,
fought La Toilette at the repub-
Iican primaries. Being defeated
there, they fought him in the re-
publican state convention. Be-
ing defeated there, they fought
him in the Supreme court. Be-
ing defeated there, they fought
him by means of a republican
bolting faction,
They are now defeated again.
They will therefore, in all prob
ability, pay more taxes and get
more supervision. twill not be
so easy for them in the future to
control Legislators by granting
low rates to their friends or by
imposing high rates upon their
enemies. They will cease to be
in SO full a sense the masters of
Wisconsin. They will make a
beginning toward becoming it's
servants,
Here is the fruit of La Follette's
ambition" He was ambitious
to have Wisconsin control the
railways and to be the man who
should cause Wisconsin to con
troll the railways. He wanted to
have it done and he wanted to do
it himself, That is his main fault.
He wanted to do it himself
He would rather do it himself
than have anybody else do it.
Out of such faults are success
full, effective statesmen made.

Worst Beaten Nominee.

Horace Greely is often referred
to as the worst beaten candidate
for president eyer nominated by
either of the great parties. In
the November election of 1872
Mr.. Greeley was defeated, the
popular majority against him be-
ing 727,0U0.
That majority. though consid-
cradle, did not record the full
measure of the disaster of the
Greeley canvass. for about three
weeks later, on November 80,
Mr.. Greeley died. and when the
electors in the states which he
had carried met in January only
three of them-three from Geor-
gia-voted for Mr. Greeley, and
the voters of these three were
objected to on the official convass
on the ground that Mr.. Greeley,
having die d. was not an eligible
candidate to vote for. his death
being ga historic fact"
The house of representatives
refused to receive these three
votes, the senate agreed too. AS
a consequence, therefore, Mr..
Greeley did not actually receive
single electoral vote, but the
Greeley electoral ticket polled
SO electoral and $500, 900 popu-
lar votes.
A worse beaten candidate for
thepresidency than Horace Gree.
ley, everything considered, was
General Scott the nominee of the
Whig party in 1852. His mill
tary achievements, it was thought
would assure him a large popu-
lar vote, but he actually receiv-
ed only AZ electoral votes out of
a total of 296. and most of these
came to him by slender major
tiles.
The four states he carried were
Kentucky and Tennessee, Mass.
achusetts and Vermont. He had
1900 plurality il Tennessee and
500 in vermont.
The candidate for the presi-
dency who had what would now
be called a clean sweep, or al
most a clean sweep, was James
Monroe, in the election of 1920
There were 232 electoral votes
in that year, ana James Monroe
received 231 of them. This was
before the choice of presidential
electors by popular vote. which
was begun four years later

Neither party ever nominated
a notoriously unfit man for Pres
ident or Vice-president, but it is
seldom that either exercises the
care and wisdom in nominating
for the second place that the re-
publicans did in naming Senator
Fairbanks. Cleos acquaintance
with him has greatly strengthen
ed the popular estimate of his
character and ability. His per-
sonality has been as distinct a
factor in the campaign as that
of President Roosevelt himself.
He has grown steadily and rapid
" since his nomination and his
election places him, for the pres
ent at least, in the foremost rank
of presidential probabilities.

Ira D. Sankey, now 64 years
old. went south this week with
his wife and son in the hope that
his life may be prolonged throuh
the winter. The evangelist,
whose fame is world wide, is to-
tally blind, shrinks from contact
with people outside of his own
family and is rapidly declining
in health and spirits. His home
is in Chicago.
1t is not a exaggeration to say
that no man in the past two gen.
erations, not even excepting
Moody himself, has brought
more people into an active Chris
tian life than Ira D. Sankey.
None who ever heard him sing
his gospel solos will forget his
vast power to stir great audiences
to their depths.

warns them to reflect that grave
problems" confront them, as well
as the people of most of the
other southern states He says
that as 1.-THE organic law of the
nation may be enforced by an
unfriendly hand. it will call for
wisdom, courage and patriotism
of the highest order to meet the
difficulties and solve them"
AS the cotton crop has been
good and will command a high

Mississippians should spoil their
Thanksgiving day dinners by
fears of future perils. There is
no occasion for worrying about
grave problems" for none can
arise so long as the people of the
state quietly cultivate the ground
carry on business, and are rea-
sonably obedient to the laws.
Gov. Vardaman makes a poor
use of a Thanksgiving proclama-
ton when he insinuates that the
happiness and we'll being of the
south may be interfered with by
the ''unfriendly hand" of a ma
tional administration in which
the people have displayed unex.
ampled confidence. Unless the
people of the south are notably
unwise and unpatriotic during
the next four years, which there
is no reason to believe they will
be, they will not come in conflict
with 1.-The organic law of the ma

arrest in Indiana of a woman
charged with horse stealing is re-
ported from Fremont, a little
hamlet in Steuben county, where
Mrs. Cora McCone is in custody.
The crime of which Mrs. Nc
Cone is alleged to be guilty was
committed Oct. 90. 1902, when
the woman visited the livery barn
Of Frank Barber in Quincy, Mich.
and hired 3 horse, stating that
she would return it the following
day.
The rig was never recovered

 Large Crowds Gathered.

At frequent intervals yesterday after noon the fire bell tolled, and large crowds gathered around the fire depart ment station expecting to see run made to a fire. They were, however badly disappointed and their curiosity was aroused to know the reason.
 The bell struck about every thirty sec- onds for several minutes, and then it was very quiet for a while. In half an hour 1t resumed its regular tapping, and the curiosity waxed red hot. Many thought that 1t was tolling for the death of some prominent man, or for some calamity while others thought that 1t was some peculiar signal denoting 8 large fire. They wondered why the department did not leave the station
 All the ringing was fer nothing, and the only trouble was a crossed wire somewhere which kept completing the circuit of the fire department alarm boxes and scr ding in signal alarm The big bell in th, city hall tower was finally disconnected from the circuit, and the populane was no longer alarmed or interested
