SOUNDS LIKE TREASON.
Southern Democrats Weary of North
ern Presidential Timber.

st. Louis Globe Democrat
Congressman Clark of Missouri says a
good many fool things during the course
of a week. but he is now quoted as saying
something sane. Il am in favor of voting
for southern man." he AYERS, and 1
want to keep this up until he is nominated
The south furnishes-the brains and decency
for the democratic party Of the United
States"
This is correct. The south ought to get
the candidacy in 1905 1t ought to have
received the candidacy in 1904 This talk
about the prejudice against the south
among the people OF the rest Of the country
is INDUCED in by democrats only. Any one
Of ralf dozen southern men who could
be mentioned would have done as well at
the polls as Parker did. and some of them
would have done better. William L.
Yancy, if extant, would not have done
worse. No democrat who could be men,
toned would have come within 2,OOO, 900
votes of President Roosevelt's poll in 1904
but as the democracy intends to keep UP
its organization for a while longer, it ought
to take its candidates from the section in
which II gets its votes. OF course, the
northern democrats says their party gets
more of the popular vote above Mason and
DiXons line than below 1t, but this is not
the way to look at the matter. The votes
that count in the election are the electoral
votes, and all of them come from the south.
Let the southern democrats stand out in
1908 against any further effacement OF their
section. II northern democrats are still so
bigoted that they would cut a southern
democrat at the polls, then the southern
democrats ought to cast them out. The
man who fired the first shot at the Star Of
the West or at Fort Sumter would have run
as we'll in 1904 as did the New Yorker who
was selected at St. Louis. The northern
democrats who have resisted reconstruction
| along TO this time will never accept 1t this
side OF Jordan. The correct thing for the
southern democrats to do is TO put up the
candidate in 1903, and compel the northern
| section Of the party to show It's hand.
The northern democrats who persist in
thinking that it is still 1868 ought not to be
allowed to run the national convention of
any party which pretends to be national.

JUDICIOUS ADVICE.

Mr.. J. j. Hills adTice to the farmers
Of North Dakota is worthy of considera-
ton by the farmers of the west gen.
orally. He advised them to learn to do
better and more intensive farming and 1t
is safe to say that there are not very
many American farmers who do not
need to learn this. In whatever other
respects the agricultural producers Of
the United States may be in advance
Of those of Europe, they are certainly
far behind In the matter of intensive
farming. OF course European farmers
have been compelled to learn and prac-
tice this, but the time is not very far
off when the American farmer will also
find it necessary and therefore the
sooner he learns it the better.
Mr.. Hill pointed out that there will be
market in Asia for our agricultural
products even If their quantity should
be doubled and it is TO be remarked that
he has given this matter very careful at
tention as a practical man. Japan, he
said, cannot begin TO raise enough to
feed her own people and they are going
to be our customers. We must look for
a,market for our products in the orient,
ito the men who live along the sea, the
densely populated portion of that coun-
try" He declared that with low trans
portation and the lands that will raise
the crops we are In a position to feed
the hungry of the orient Baron KanekO,
former japanese minister Of agriculture,
who has been for some time in this
country, said he had learned n great
deal about what he believed to lie the
glorious future that Hes before the
United States in the far east. We shall
undoubtedly have in the future a larger
market In that part Of the world for our
cotton and for our -four. 1t is only
within a few years that the oriental peo-
pie have been using American -four and
already there is a considerable trade in
1t. This will steadily increase, creating
demand which in not very long time
will call for all our surplus from the
present production. 1t is manifestly a
market which ought to be looked after
and cultivated.
American farmers generally, espe
cially those of the west, are enterpris
ing and progressive, but they still have
something to learn and one of the things
is that suggested by Mr.. Hill.

and without exposing the people and
business interests to unusual hazard
from fire and lawlessness.
The present dilemma arises from the
fact that for years the fire and police
boards have, under pressure. recklessly
dlsregarded the charter limitations on
police and fire funds and have regularly
depended on the council to come to their
relief with additional appropriations in
direct violation Of the spirit IL not the
letter of the charter.
1t may be necessary to raise a fund
by private subscription, or arrange some
way to carry part of the overlap on
guaranty of public spirited business men
Whatever may be done to meet the emer-
gency should be with the distinct under
standing that it is not to set n precedent
and that the fire and police departments
must hereafter be run on a business
basis, strictly within the limits of the
fire and police funds provided Gy the
council in accordance with the charter
provisions.

MONOTONY of GARRISON, DUTY.
One of the Chief Causes of DesertiOn
from the Army.
FshKo,oo

Chicago Chronicle,
Probably It is true, as the commander OF
the Department of the Lakes declares. that
desertions from the army will continue as
long as public sentiment favors the de-
serter People do not like to appear in the
role Of the informer and military deserters
are consequently undisturbed in the ma
jority OF cases.
There is, however, a cause for these de-
sertions and 1t is a cause that has no ef-
fectlve remedy. Young Americans desert
from the army in time of peace because
they tire OF the monotony OF garrison
duty, OF drill and OF the endless and un-
varying routine OF a soldiers life when no
fighting is going on or in prospect.
This is the cause for desertions not only
from the army, but from the navy. Young
men are attracted by the superficial gilt
ter and excitement of soldering or sailor
ing and they enlist TO find that playing
soldier is the most dreary task in the
world. Then they desert. Most Of the talk
about hardships endured and OF tyrannies
practiced by officers is utter humbug
The real truth is that Young America,
though he is a fighter by instinct and in
heritance. is not Sunday soldier" He is
quick to volunteer when there is a prospect
OF active service but he is not 10 be de-
pended upon TO endure the ordeal OF mill
tary discipline in time OF peace.
SO that desertions are likely to continue
and insofar as they manifest a spirit of
american independence they are not al
together a discouraging symptom of ma
tional life, We may be sure that the
young men who are deserting nowadays
would flock to the eolors II there was a
chance OF smelling gunpOwder in some
thing else than target practice
This, however, constitutes no defense OF
deseruon. which Is the objectionable mill
| tary crime. Deserters should be punished
in fashion TO discourage deseTtion. Other
considerations aside, young men who enter
the army should be taught TO keep their
| contract with the government

Leslie M. Shaw, secretary Of the United
States treasury, left the train the other
evening at Denison, his Iowa home, to find
the cabby who had gone to meet him asleep
in his carriage. Mr.. Shaw climbed into
the drivers seat, guided the horses for a
half mile through the town to the home
of his brother-in-law, Eugene Gulick, while
the cabby slept soundly. Then he woke
that astonished Individual, handed him the
regular fee and liberal tip and sent him
away.
Secretary Hay detested all unnecessary

TIE FINANCIAL EFFEcr.

II has been noted that for some time
past the financial institutions Of Europe
have been accumulating money in an
tlcipatlon Of an indemnity loan, the ag-
gregate of the accumulation being esti-
mated at hundreds Of millions of dollars.
This capital will now become available
for Industrial and commercial uses and
the opinion is expressed that 1t probably
means for Europe a time Of business ex-
pansion on a considerable scale and OF
some considerable duration. II such
should be the case 1t is thought that 1t
can only further buttress the great pros
perity which we now enjoy in this coun-
try.
A portion of this accumulated capital
will very likely be employed in supply
ing both Russia and Japan with money
they must have for the removal Of their
armies from Manchuria and other re-
quirements incident to the conclusion of
peace. 1t is stated that Russia will
doubtless negotiate loan, perhaps of
500, ,OO0O OOO Immediately after the peace
treaty is ratified, and that probably
American bankers will take the initia-
tive in floating 1t. II a japanese loan
ls negotiated the initiative in floating it
may also be taken by the bankers of
this country, who are in excellent posi-
ton to do so, This would be reversal
Of the rule of borrowing nations going
first to the European financial centers.
The United States, however, has become
world power financially as in other
respects and the bankers of this coun-
try are able to offer as good terms to
foreign borrowers as they can obtain
in the-old world markets.
There is every reason to expect that
the large amount of capital accumulated
abroad will speedily flow into channels
Of industry and commerce, greatly
stimulating production and trade. With
peace throughout the world and the
prospect Of its long continuance most
favorable the people of all countries can
apply themselves diligently to the works
Of peace and are very certain to do so.
The United States, now in the enjoy
ment Of great prosperity, cannot fail to
be benefited by improved conditions in
other lands. Our people have profited to
some extent by the war, but there can
be no doubt that they will profit far
more from what will come after peace.
There is much to be expected from the
