KING EDWARD
DESIRES PEACE
IN THE FAR EAST
Nevertheless the Russians Are Pre-

Advancing Steadily Toward Muk-
den.

the field had been foretod before hos
tilities began.
THE ultimate triumph of the Japan
ese on both land and sea is unanimous
ly predicted he said. Then a grea,
calm will come over the entire world
as result of the pricking of the Rus
sian bubble'-that is to say, it will be
demonstrated that Russian prowess is
NOT so much to be feared as several
governments formerly believed. This
W." has also exposed the frightful rot
tenness that exists in the Russian
navy. Our naval officers have known
| for a long time that of all the money
that has been appropriated for naval
equipment not more than half has
been devoted to the objects for which
it was given. The other half has gone
in'O the pockets of the men who hand
led it. 1t is case of China over again.
Our army officers do not expect to see
the war last nearly as long as has
been predicted elsewhere in Europe
Russia is not fighting against a semi
barbaric people. She is against brains,
modern equipment and seasoned and
spirit of patriotism which achieves
success over mere physical force"
Russia's Weakness Shown.
London, May 17-Russia has been
found out. That is the text of a good
deal of English comment just now
One responsible London journal even
dubs her the most gigantic humbug
thu modern history records. 1t goes
on 70 indicate as striking instance
Oh the irony ii fate thai Russia is find
ing the scene of her humiliation pre-
cisely in the regions whittier she has
Systematically exiled every man who
showed the slightest signs of energy
or enterprise.
"The Russia whom Englishmen long
have regarded as standing menace
the far eastern markets generally, is,
they fondly hope, gone where the old
moons go; gone, too, at the armed bid
ding of Great Britain's own ally; and
the Englishmen's satisfaction is not
lessened by the evidence which CONT
mental correspondents send, that,
among European nations, outside Rus
sia, the Russian bogey is being speed
lily replaced by the Japanese specter." :"
The Spectator devotes an editorial
to this theme today. 1t shows how
wrong all of us have been in CHASING
the Japanese with Asiatic peoples who
all have gone soft. The daring and
scientific precision of the Japanese
army and navy was conceivable, but
here is nation capable of enough pa
triotism to induce 10000 volunteers to
assist in sinking steamers under the
very nose of the enemy's guns with
the certainty of an awful death. Even
..nglishmen must revise their estimate
of the Japanese. ut is natural adds
the Spectator, that continentals Is who
secretly were penetrated through with
dread of the Russian might, should be
bewildered by phenomenon for which
they had no precedent"

Thursday at the Capital. There were
present. Governor Otero, chairman;
Solicitor General Edward l.. Bartlett
and Surveyor General Morgan o. Lie

the routine business, the selection of
tract of 1000 acres of land for the
territory in the vicinity of Glorieta,
Santa Fe County was ordered; this
upon the recommendation of the irri-
CATION commission of New Mexico.
Solicitor General Bartlett submitted
report of his doings while in Washing
ton. to which place he was sent by the
commission to look after the status of
the bill introduced by Delegate Rodey
giving the Territory the right to Sc
lect lieu lands, wherever such suitable
selections could be made in the Terri
tory instead of as under the law at
present which necessitates the selec-
ton of such lands contiguous to the
sections of land held under title by
railroads or private citizens and there
fore lost to the Territory. 1t was

that there was no chance of passing
the bill at the recent session of Con-
gress. although its passage had been
recommended by the commissioner of
the general land Office and the secre-
tary of the interior Routine business
was then transacted and the commits

GOOD RAIN IN ALBUQUERQUE,
Was Accompanied BY Lightning Which
Burned Out Several Telephones
and Started Small Fire.

The drouth in Albuquerque and vi
cinity was partially broken Sunday by
shower. The rain was not heavy but
it settled the dust and will be of ines
timable value to the country. During
the storm the lightning struck tele-
phone wire and the current entered
the kitchen in the residence of May
nard Gunsul. The wood work caught
fire. but the flames were extinguished
before any great damage was done.
Several telephones in the city were
burned out.

what has not come to pass, but we need
not at this time go into details; it suf-
hces that things have come TO pass. AS
to the tariff, it is we'll known that under
its operation certain industries nave
hourished outrageously. Under its ne
farous workings we are competing with
the world in trade and even the farmer
is becoming, in some cases, far too opu-
lent. Take, for instance. the one who
raises wool. He gets far more for his
wool than he would were the Australian
product allowed to enter free Of duty.
Why should the wool grower be thus
benefited? We feel, as we have felt for
a long time. that all is wrong with the
tariff. We may be a trihe vague con-
might, could, would or should do with
the tariff were it's adjustment in our
hands, but let that pass.

BRYAN on THE NOMINATION,

II have nothing to take back, I have
nothing to withdraw of the things I
have said against the methods pursued
to advance his candidacy. II was a
plain and deliberate alter pit to deceive
the party. The New York platform
was vague and purposely 90, because
the advocates of Judge Parker were
trying to secure votes from among the
people who would have opposed his
view s had they knows them. =
Tho nomination was occurred, there
fore, by crooked and indefensib1s
methods. "-Willism Jennings Bryan In 'Ths

SPEECH.
EXHIBITION OF AMBiGUOSITY
AND CIRCUMLOCUTiON.
Finest Collection of Telling Allusions
on Record-Failure of Republicans to
Control Weather or Stay Progress of

MI. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the
Committee: l have resigned the posi-
ton Of Road Commissioner to accept the
nomination for Deputy Overseer Of the
Universe offered me by the grandest
convention Of the grandest party in ex-
istence. l have deemed it best to open
the campaign with a resignation, in or
der that l might become accustomed to
the thing and, without undue attrition,
be enabled to exhibit the same spirit in
November.
l shall endeavor to express myself in
a manner which will be no discredit to
the party Of which l nave become the
standard bearer. l shall not assume the
methods of speech of a distinguished
predecessor, for it is not my style nor
habit to coin such original expressions
as %"innocuous desuetude' or ''pernicious
activity" but l fatter myself that, in
the verbal feats of ambiguosity and cir
cumlocution, l can give an object les
son, as it were, to the eminent fisherman
to whom | have made allusion.
Praises the Platform.
The sublime platform recently con-
structed at st. Louis, apparently out Of
loose boards left over from the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition, is assuredly a
marvel Of compact quotations from an
cient and modern sages. AS a matter of
course, it makes a liberal use Of the de-
ceased Thomas Jefferson-as a party we
always use the deceased Thomas JET
ferson-but it goes farther and promises
to correct every known and a consider
able number Of unknown wrongs and out

ever they appear in the boundIess uni
verse. 1t vows to pry into, investigate,
drag out and jack up the scandals and
breaches Of public trust, which we all
Know exist everywhere, when we are out
of office Gentlemen, l approve Of the
platform.
Liberty.
Incidentally I will now refer to lih-
erty, and l feel that l may do so fear
lessly, as 1t Is a ~well-known assertion. if
not a fact, that many crimes have been
committed in the name of said liberty
Liberty is-in short, liberty is something
we always refer to in the platform.
Power a Menace.
Thomas Jefferson said about all there
was worth saying about power. but |
may add a few w~ell-chosen words Of
warning. There is danger in the very air
Of Washington-nay, in the air OF the
entire District of Columbia. do not
fear 1t, and may never have to breathe
it, anyway. but, fellow citizens, l warn
you against the microbe OF power which
infests the land watered by the historic
Potomac. The power which seeks to
DO things, t. accomplish work, to create,
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1904-09-02

to finish and actively set things going
is something our historic party is sa-
credly pledged to combat TO the end.
Imagine a power so ruthless that it even
threatens to tear a canal across the
isthmus Of Panama and to build vast
dams and reservoirs and irrigate the arid
reaches OF the West! We are opposed
to power.
The Weather.
Without the exhibition Of any undue
bitterness, speaking calmly of our OPP
ponents, as should become an ex-Road
Commissioner, I would call your atten-
ton, gentlemen, to the fact that under
a Republican ADMINISTRATIVE the last
winter was the coolest in over forty
years. What has followed? Has the
Signal Service been reformed? So far
as any intelligence has been transmitted
to me, the bureau Of the Agricultural
Department to which l have just made
casual reference remains In almost pre-
cisely the condition in which it was a
year ago l wish to refer to this matter
with all %broadness and dignity of percep-
ton, but, while | would not directly
charge maladministration in the prem
ises, | feel at least justified in calling
the attention Of the American people to
an existent state.
The Boil Weevil.
Furthermore, gentlemen, and bearing
IN mine the graceful remarks of your
chairman, l would call attention par
t~icularly to the boil weevil which has so
ravaged the cotton crop under a Repub-
lican administration 1t is true that GER
tain ostensible attempts to check the
evil have been made, but why should the
boil weevil have appeared at all? What
necessity was there for a bol weevil I'M
der any circumstances? 1t is the old
story Of Republican oppression of the
South. And the chinch bug is undoubt-
edly impending!
Encke's Comet.
But, gentlemen, and | am not I'M
mindful Of the fact that l was practi-
cally renominated a second time on a
platform supposed to be thoroughly ex-
purgated in spirit il not in letter, | would
call attention TO the fact that under this
same Republican administration Encke's
comet is to reappear again this fall and
tear it's senseless way across our solar
system! The Republicans admit the fact
themselves, and having, unfortunately, a
majority OF the euucdleQ CLASS III tnelr
ranks, including almost all astronomers,
they should certainly be conversant
with the situation.
November
Gentlemen, l could, were l so inclined,
refer to the fact that, under this same
Republican administration, it is admitted
that November is coming again; No
yember, with its lowering skies and long
gray stretches Of hub-deep muddy roads
and consequent strain upon the farmers
| horseflesh. Gentlemen, the farmers are
the bone and sinew of the land. A
calamity to them is a calamity to all.
That other things than bad roads are not
unlikely to occur to some of us In No
yember next may be a fact, but upon
that we need not dwell.
Imperialism and the Tariff.
1t is quite unnecessary, gentlemen. to
allude to the fact that our utmost voice,
the longest "howl on Unalaska's shores"
