DIXIE LAND.

This game is jolly one to play, and
is a favorite with both English and
American children. One child takes
the part Of Tom fiddler. Tom is sup
treasure on his ground. No one else
has any right to invade his territory
But the other children make rush for
his ground and he tries to catch them.
They all shout:
Here / stand on Tom Tidd1er's

The World-Herald designates the
political campaign OF Judge Alton B.
Parker last fall as "the most farcical
expedition upon which a political par
ty ever engaged" 1t is also candid
in its admission that "if the repub-
lican campaign committee had not
spent dollar in that campaign aside
from its letter and postage expenses
Mr.. Roosevelt would have been elect
ed" These are few details of the
campaign on which the republicans
have been convinced for some time
and it is rather fiattering to their
judgment that a democratic paper can
thus endorse the position, even at this
late date.

st. Petersburg is very much afraid
that the "yellow peril" may threaten
the world if the, Russian forces are
not permitted to win the present CON
flict with Japan. Observing the ac-
tion of the two belligerents in their
present conflict, the world would al
most rather be controlled by the "yel-
low peril" than by the influence that
seems to emanate from Russia. How
ever, it may be several years before
the civilized world is prepared to bend
a knee to the influence of either.

And so DR.. MaCkay, with little six.
column paper printed for three days,
was able TO overthrow the republican
party in Norfolk, in spite of the fact
that the Daily News was printed in
the same town and circulated free TO
every home in the community. What
were the hOasted influence and brainy
editor of the Daily News doing while
Mackay was performing his work of
slaughter?-Press.
After reading the above, will some
one tell whether the powerful inGu-
ence of Sprecher and his Press were
with The News or with the Citizen
in the late city campaign? Was he
loyal to the party that gave him the
fattest political job within the gift of
Norfolk. enabling him for four years
to receive more money for his servic-
es than he ever did before or since ?
If so, why is he now glorying in the
defeat of the ticket?
Having an intimate knowledge of
what was being done in the Citizen,
he could report to republicans in ad-
vance what would appear in the next
issue of that paper, and having
wormed himself into the inner coun.
ellis OF the republicans he could report
to DR.. Mackay with the same fidelity.
To which side was he most loyal; ("

With the Panama railroad under
government control it is likely ITO be
proven just what government owner
ship of railways may mean, and it
may be step toward taking over
other railway systems from private
ownership. The government has GER
tainly proven capable at securing men
to take charge of the business and
can do as well no doubt, where larger
systems are concerned.

There seems to be a new feature in
the naval movements in the far east
The Russian commander appears to be
in a hurry to bring on an engagement.
something which no previous Russian
commander has thought OF doing.
Heretofore the Japs have been lodged
as long as possible. Rojestvensky
probably wants 1t over with one way
or another at the earliest possible mo.
ment, and as he is about the only OBJ
stacle to peace terms the people of
the world will wish him hearty sue
cess in reaching a conclusion.

Poor old Sprech is mad. Most peo-
pie are mad when they get caught in

A Rockefeller argument in favor of
trusts is the method employed by for.
lists in producing the American Beauty
rose in which all the buds of the bush
are clipped but one and this gets the

done. The people, however, arise to
demand that 1t is time to gather in
the perfected blossom and permit the

The American people will be
pleased to learn of the success Of Am
bassador Porter who has been search.
ing Paris for the body of John Paul
Jones, the father of the American
navy, and it is now the desire that it
should be brought to the country for
which the admiral did so much and
be given the honor that has been lack
ing these hundred years. Admiral
Jones body had been preserved in al
cohol and the investigators found it
almost as perfect as when buried a
century ago, the description and mea.
surements tallying exactly with that
of the admiral which is on record.
The American people will take plea.
sure in comforting on the remains of
this dead sailor the long delayed hon.
ors, and warship will probably be
dispatched to France to bring the
body home.

The department of agriculture sees
success crowning its efforts to induce
the American farmers to raise more
sheep and quit the selling of grain
With each farmer turning his grain
into beef, pork and mutton, there will
soon need to be no market for grain
other than required for consumption
by the people and their domestic ami
mails. In other words it will be doing
away with the middle man and the
profits from the growing OF grain will
go direct from the consumer to the
producer.

Recent information does not seem
to indicate that Togo has much to
fear from Rojestvensky, number. size
and equipment of vessels in the re-
spective forces considered. The men
have proven their ability on a pre-
vious occasion or two and it is pos
sible that as soon as the Russian
forces are located there will be some
thing happening that will not be more
favorable to Russian arms than that
which has happened in the past.

With the senatorial investigating
Commissioner Garfield on the trail OF
the Standard Oil company, and the

earned wealth from the mass of the
great common people.

President Roosevelt does not forget
the people and his duties even while
chasing the festive coyote, the timid
jack rabbit and the assertive bear
From Cripple Creek comes the report
that the President has refused to ac-
cept any courtesies from the railroad
companies except the use of an en-
gine to carry him from one of the
towns to the scene of his hunt, but
that he will pay all the expenses of
his hunting trip. The president evil
IDENTIFY has in mind the object of keep
ing his attitude on railroad questions
consistent and unshaken.s He intends
that when the time comes for action
in favor of the public and against the
railways that no corporation attorney
or lobbyist shall remind him of i'm
portant favors that have been con-
ferred upon him with the idea of side
tracking his resolution on several i'm
portant public questions. Further
more he has set an example for other
public officials and it is to be expected
that the work of the government will
hereafter be less hampered through
the courtesies that are so readily
thrust upon the officials by the large
railway corporations. It is a new
thing for the president of the United
States to refuse favors from the rail-
ways, but it was to be expected that
President Roosevelt would prove the
president to take the right stand on
this matter, and it is further to be ex-
pected that his example will be fol-
lowed in the future. Such action
should emphasize the necessity of
raising the presidential salary so that
there will no longer be even a faint
excuse for the chief executive to ac-
cept that which might hamper him in
performing the duties Of his office,
fairly. equitably and justly to every
interest of the country.

The legislature appropriated $4,000
for some badly needed fire escapes
at the soldiers home in Grand Island,
and If there are lives lost through the
lack of fire escapes during the next
two years at that institution 1t will be
directly chargeable to the negligence
of the enrolling clerk who failed to
engross the item with the appropria-
tion bill before it came to the gov
ernor Governor Mickey's attention
was called to the omission but not
until after the bill had long since
passed through his hands. This is
the third omission of the kind that
has come to light recently and It is not
known how many more may have been
made. It is a condition of affairs that
is ineXcusable and it has been sug-
gested that If there were less politics
and more business ability applied in
the making Of important appointments
it would prove far better and more
satisfactory to the people of the state.
Only men OF ability and with the
proper education and experience
should be selected for offices of this

With sugar selling at thirteen or
fourteen pounds for dollar and no
report that there has been a failure in
either the cane or beet crops from

the Standard oil octupus. There is
no commodity more generally used
than sugar and IL would benefit all

not permitted to squeeze from the

Judge Parker, late democratic candi-
date for president is out in favor of
harmony. The indications are that the
only way in which harmony can be
secured at this time is for the late
candidate and all his friends to do
exactly as they are told by Mr.. Bryan
and his element. In hurrying back to
the people Mr.. Parker should refrain
from putting any stumbling blocks in
the way of the party.
