Topeka Journal: Mr.. Roosevelt set
a good example to other Americans
the other morning when he got up
early enough-at his country home
to split sufficient kindlling enough be.
fore he started to work to last until
his return.
SURE TO ATTRACT.
St. Louis Star: A nation in which
the President, who has been accused
of being a fre.eater, and the Secre.
tary of War put in their days and
nights planning for peace is bound to
attract some attention abroad, and
the very attention of which all the
people of the nation will have reason
to be very proud.
THE GREAT ISSUE.
Pueblo Chieftain: The great ques.
tion before the American people to.
day is, not whether municipal or gov.
ernment ownership will accomplish
this or that result, but, shall the
American people govern themselves,
or shall they continue to be governed
by the degrading and universal cor.
ruption of public utility corporations
that makes fortunes through purchas.
ed officials and a supine public senti.
ment and degrade and blight the
moral standard and the public ambi'
tion cf every youth in the land.
WORSE THAN HANGING.
Springfield Republican: It is bad
enough for the state to hold person
within the shadow of the gallows for
a considerable period of time, com.
pelling him, as it we're, to die a thous.
and deaths in advance of the real one.
But it Is worse to subject one to
succession of death sentences and re-
prieves and stays and resentences.
There is refinement of cruelty here
which passes the utmost of savage
ingenuity-yet our civilization toler-
ates its inHiction with every death
sentence imposed. The woman In
the Vermont state-prison, who for
the second or third time has appar-
emily been snatched from under the
gallows, only, it would seem, to bring
up there finally anyhow, is certainly
to be pitied, even though she had no
pity when holding life in her own
hands.
1T ALL GOES.
Cincinnati Enquirer: Agood many
of the Republican newspapers and
politicians hesitate to accept Hon.
Charles J. Bonaparte as real Re.
publican. What are they going to do
about it? There was a sneering re-
volt against the selection of Cortel-
you for the craftsmanship; but it

BRowNLow'S PROPOSED STATE.
Washington Post: Representative
Brownlow is reported as saying that
he is in earnest in his proposal to
make new state out of portions of
Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and
North Carolina. There is no pre-
tense that it is TO be work of prac-
tical craftsmanship, but it Is avowed-
ly work of practical politics. The
new state Is to be created because
certain communities vote the Repub.
lican ticket and are attached to COM
that are democratic in
political sentiment. Reduced to its
fundamentally is mere vulgar
matter of office-United States sena-
tors, federal judges, marshals, col.
lectors, and SO on and SO on.
EFFECT OF PUBLICITY.
New York World: The Paper Trade
Journal reports that the result of the
initiated by the Ameri.
can Newspaper Publishers Associa.
tion against the General Paper com.
pany, the Western News trust, the
Paper company, the trust
