STRENGTH REQUIRED.

1t is opinion that might well take the bull by
the horns and look him square in the face in the politics of
this county Last year there 6 against the head
of the ticket greater part of it might be assigned to the
Roosevelt slump but much of it may be lurking in the
woods yet pounce upon when the snowy ballots hur
down. Nothing but compact and united, firm front will
bring successful results
To establish bold front have the material in the
front rank of sodiery that will withstand the sagetc
attack We must put up strong ticket and place the
pagn in the hands of strong committees The primary cleo
ton is the ucrum Upon that rests the lever that lift
the weight of established majores and overthrow them.
Every Democrat should make it business attend the pr-
mary He should that he has carefully considered
his ballot and sized up the that to be presented and
to his best and most careful judgement in his selection
Canvas the situation Who Of the aspiring ones would be
the strongest in the general election? This considered and
the results will bring success

In tho Old Dominion.

Democratic politics Is warming up
down In Ole virginny. A successor to
United States Senator Martin is to be
chosen. likewise complete set of
state and county officers. Governor
Montague is pitted against Martin.
They are both busy Us the proverbial
bees. Congressman Claude Swanson,
Lieutenant Governor Willard and Mr..
Mann are competing for the guberna-
torial plum and are making the well1in
ring from Tennessee to the Potomac.
or course 1t Is none Of my put in, but
all Swanson's congressional compan-
ions wish him well In his laudable am
bltion. There are more than three
times as many governors as there were
1875 years ago, but nevertheless 1t Is a
feather In ones cap to occupy the gu
bernatorial chair once occupied by such
men as Patrick Henry, Thomas Jeffer-
son, James Monroe, Thomas Mann,
Randolph, Henry A. Wise and Fitzs
Hugh Lee, 20 say nothing Of other dis
tinguished Virginia governors. Swan
son is young. capable. eloquent, indus
trious and ambitious. He Is serving
his thirteenth year In congress and
stands high on the. great committee on
ways and means. That he would
make tiptop chief executive of the
Old Dominion goes without eaying.

Bryan and HI. p,vm

The other day Colonel wfsalam Jen-
nings Bryan began a speech at Des
Moines, Ia, by declaring that In order
to speak on that occasion he had left
his plows standing in the furrow, by
reason Of which declaration the Wash
ington Post undertakes to make merry
at the expense Of the distinguished Ne
braskan. Colonel Bryan is not the only
distinguished parsonage that has left
his plow standlng in the furrow in or
der to discharge pressing public duty.
At least one American rendered his
name immortal by precisely that caper
General Israel Putnam, the tough
and heroic old wolf killer. So the Post
had better go a little slow In poklng
fun at folks for leaving their plows
standing In the burrows. General Put
nam may have injured his crop and

Ispecial weshington Letter.J

"W UNEASY rests the head that
wears crown" Ditto as to
W the caput of a governor of
Pennsylvania. Only one man
since the war has held that office twice.
That was Governor Pattison. His
terms were not consecutive, as the con-
stitution prohibits that but with in
tervals between terms he served two.
When he tried to make 1t three he
learned, to his sorrow, the truth of King
Solomon's dictum about carrying your
pitcher to the fountain too often.
Strange to say, he was elected twice
simply because he was honest. In the
last forty years the Keystone State
has had almost every sort of governor
imaginable, but they all seem to man.
age somehow to become personae non
gratae to the people Of Pennsylvania
and to the country at large. Touching
the present governor the Washington
Post contains this uncomplimentary
editorial squib: Governor Pennypack-
er has vetoed bill for the prevention
Of idiocy! A lucid interval" Now,
who is Pennypacker? He was an emf
nent jurist in the City of Brotheriy
Love. He bore good reputation. He
was some sort of cousin to the late
Senator and Boss Matthew Stanley
Quay. When the latter got into a
tight box about electing governor
and needed to set up as reformer
he snatched his kinsman Pennypacker
from position on the bench for which
he is said to have been well qualified
and sent him to the statehouse to tho
gubernatorial chair, In which he ap-
pears to be complete misfit. It's
variation and an illustration of Sydney
Smiths theory about round holes and
three cornered people and round people
and three cornered holes. The above
citation from the Post js about the
kindest thing said about Governor Zen
nypacker lately, and surely 1t 10 not
such as his excellency would destrs.
To the philosophical mind the question
will present itself, whether the odium
that seems to be the portion of Penn
sylvania's governors is the result of
their own grievOus faults or appertalns
in some my ysterious manner to the Of
flce itself. There never seems to be
any lack OF candidates. Indeed, the
nomination of Pennypacker nearly
broke the hearts Of two or three as
pirants and created a great ruction
among the faithful. Pennypacker was
nominated to please the reformers.
Now none rcnds him more fiercely.
No doubt when Cousin Matthew select
ed him TO be governor the latter saw
visions of the White House. If SO, he
must be sorely disappointed and must
heartily wish that he was back safely
on his woolsack. In fact, he wanted
to resign the governorship when only
one-thlrd finished to get back oA the
bench-on tie supreme bench-but Hon.
John p. Elkton, from whose grasp he
had snatched the gubernatorial chair
by aid Of Cousin Matthew, walked away
with the prize, practically life posi-
tion Mt good fat salary. No wonder
the governor is weary Of his job. 1t
has brought him nothing but worry,
enmity and oblequy. He Is said to be
nn amiable, an able man, but his lines
have certainly been cast In unpleasant
places. No doubt he prays to be deliv-
cred from his cruel predicament.

The Whole Thina.


Mr.. Secretary of War william Taft Is
very large man In every way, but he
certainly has his hands full acting as
both chief of the war Office and secre-
tary of state pending the absence of
Colonel John Hay, who, as Dick Swiv-
eller would say, is sailing the briny in
search Of health. Governor Taft comes
almost rs near being the whole thing
as did John Marshall when he was Sec
retary Of state, secretary Of war and
chief justice by appointment. though
Of course not sworn in. For short
while, about the time the British sacked
and burned Washington, Colonel James
Monroe, who was secretary of state,
discharged also the duties of the Sec
retary of war.

Taft and Foraker.

1t must make Senator Joseph Benson
Foraker gnash his teeth with rage
when he thinks about Mr.. Secretary of
State Taft being chairman of the Ohio
state convention. 1t is the first overt
act in the programme of the Hanpa-
Herrick-D fnction to shunt Foraker
out Of the presidential race. AS
pointed out in these letters long ago,
that faction now rallies around Taft
not 80 much because they love him as
because they intend to use his popu-
larity for the undoing of Foraker,
whom they hate with deadly hatred.
He must win this time or never. He
knows that; so do his enemies. Time
fights for Taft In this contest for the
highest honors of the republic, as he
is several years Foraker's junior and
will be young enough for a first nomi-
nation twelve years hence. Nobody
can blame him if he uses the Hanna
Dick -Herrick crowd. They have no
man of their own big enough to COM
pete with Foraker, SO they make Gov
ernOr Taft present of their support.

Now we are to have a lobster trust,
and the people win have to pay higher
for that delectable crustacean. There
seems to be nothing too large or too
small for the trust builders to fasten
on to. Having by trust methods run
the price Of beef and pork up to al
most unreachable prices to the masses,
they might have left Holsters alone
as a sort OF consolation edible.

A Straw.


The spring city elections IN Missouri
show Democratic gains and that thoss
careless Democrats who stayed at home
last fall. thereby permitting Roosevelt
and Fairbanks to carry the state, are
waking up to the fact that outsiders
have been falsely claiming Missouri as
Republican convert. st. Louis re-
elected Mayor Wells, who has made a
good business mayor. Before the elec-
ton the Globe Democrat and other Re
publican organs were predicting a
sweeping Republican victory. Since
the election the CD. ct al. are busy
explaining that they would have scored
complete triumph If they had had
good candidate for mayor, which Is
rather tough on the one they did have,
Judge Tally. But evidently he Is as
good man now, though defeated, as
he was when they were whooping 1t up
for him, urging his election and proph-
esying that he would win. 1t looks as
though poor Tally Is to become a sort
Of Republican scapegoat to carry the
sins Of all Republicans into the wilder
ness. Whether he will tamely submit
to that role remains to be seen. He
may kick and may tell what he knows
about Republican politics In st. Louis,
In which event there will be many Re
publican bigwigs who will suddenly
discover that the condition of their
health requires trip abroad. In most
other cities and towns in Missouri the
Democrats showed up to better advan-
tage than for years. which Is encourag-
ing news to lovers Of good government
everywhere.

When Hon. Gas Addicks appears in
the Judgment he can without fear of
successful contradiction claim to have
prevented an election OF United
States senator oftener than any other
man that ever lived BY reason of his
ambition and his money Delaware
will have only one senator. This caper
he has performed twice before. Once
for period of two years, by reason OF
the Addicks programme of "Addicks
or nobody" she had no senator at all.
Delaware Is Republican.

up claims to the phantom throne Of
France. These pretenders grow weak
er and weaker in their personality.
They have become so insignificant, In
fact, that they are rapidly coming to
be objects of contempt. which is lucky
for the republic. The French are the
most emotional people In the world, and
1t Is altogether probable that should
an Orleans or a Bonapartlst prince
demonstrate that he is great man, es-
pecially great soldier, he would so ap-
peal to the Gallo imagination and to
their incorriglble desire for revenge on
Germany for the humiliations of Sc
dan and Metz that they would call
upon him to mount the throne OF his
ancestors. Many persons have ex-
pected and some have hoped that
Prince Napoleon, who IS general Of
division In the Russian army, would
so distinguish himself in the war with
the Japs that he would revive and be-
come the crowned and sceptered bene-
flcinry of the Napoleonic legend, but
one Of two things is true-either the
car, by reason Of his treaty with the
French republic, has kept the general
out OF the limclight or the latter has
not in him the stuff out OF which he
roes are made, all Of which is lucky
for the republic. 1t Is queer fact
that. with the single exception Of Leon
Gambetta, the third republic has de-
veloped no man of talents of the first
order; hence 1t would be easy for a
great soldier to pull off a coup d'etat
with eclat. Even the humbug Bou-
langer came near doing the trick, and
surely no cheaper demagogue than he
has trod the boards in our day. Lou
bet is n mediocre man, who does his
duty well and entertains no vain am
bitionse He strengthens the republic.
With such rs he is at the belm the re-
public will survive.

People generally will be glad to
know that Governor Folk of Missouri
has appointed ex-Representative In Con-
gress Willard Duncan Vandiver to the
responsible and lucrative position OF
Insurance commissioner. He deserves
it. He was tiptop representative and
rendered his last night in the house
memorable by putting the Republicans
on record as favOring the armor plate
trust. Twas skillfully and coura-
geously done. That Vandlver will dis
charge his new duties fearlessiy and
capably goes without saying.

Everybody wishes that President
Roosevelt may enjoy his hunting trip
and return safe and sound to the White
House, but everybody does not indorse
the idea of the chief magistrate Of a
republic taking such risks to life and
limb. By reason of his lofty Office, as
well as for personal reasons, his death
or serious injury would cause wide
spread mourning, business would suf-
fer, and things would be unsettled gen.
orally. Consequently the country will
breathe easier when he gets back to the
capital.

Once More.


Once again we are informed by cable
that the Philippines are paclfied. Is
this the one thousandth or only the nine
hundred and ninety-ninth? Surely the
pacification of the Philippines more
nearly approximates perpetual motion
than anything else on earth. General
Otis first pacifled them some thirty or
forty times, then General What's His
Name-for there have been SO many
pacificators that one would need pri-
vate secretary to keep tab on them.
General Jake Smith Is the only one not
likely to be forgotten. The latest peace
maker. and let us hope the last. is Gen.
eral Allen of the constabulary. He re-
ports that the uprising among the Pu-
of the regulars will be withdrawn. We
are also informed that Generals Cor
bin and Allen are now In conference at
Calbayog regarding measures which 1t
will be necessary to take in the future
preparing for the next uprising prob
ably, to be followed by new pacifica-
tion. How long will the American peo-
pie be humbugged by bogus reports of
Philippine pacifcation? Everybody that
has read history knows that the only
sort Of peace obtainable In those Is
lands SO long as we try to retain them
Is the kind of peace that reigned In
Warsaw, the peace of death. OF course
If the people like that sort of thing that
Is the sort of thing they like. but 1t
would be well to quit lying and tell the
truth, and the truth is that the Philip
pines have not been pacified.
