Bosses sometimes see things differ
emily from what they did at other
times. In the recent Republican 'pri-
mary in Wisconsin Senator LaFollette's
man for Governor was Overwhelmingly
defeated. When LaFoIlette was strug-
Cling for control in his State his Sc
verest arraignment was of Senator
Spooner for seeking to control the poll
tics OF the State AS soon as La Fol-
lette feels secure what does he do. but
enter the contest and seek to have men
OF his way of thinking put in Office
The people of Wisconsin had once lis
tened to his cutlery against bosses. and
gave him dose of his own medicine
There are other would-be bosses who
may meet a similar fate.

son-in-law Longworth has also
learned the shtbboleth of present-day
Republicanism. He declares that the
issue in the coming fall campaign may
be stated in three words: stick by
Roosevelt" But we really can't blame
Nick. He wants to keep peace In the
family and thinks that is good way
to accomplish t. The New York Com
utercial, commenting on the Longworth
idea of issues says that his statement
covers concisely just the facts. The
politicians go beating about the bush
at this time, with wise pretense of
various issues connected with certain
features Of past and proposed legisla-
tion. but as they and we all know,
President Roosevelt has so dominated
the situation in governmental affairs
that the issue is to stick or not to
stick by Roosevelt"
We hear much in these days about
bosses and boss-ridden parties. but If
there has ever been a political organi-
cation more thoroughly dominated by
one man than the Republican party is
dominated by Roosevelt we do not re-
member it. Mr.. LOngworth. 1t is true.
only reiterates the advice. or command,
given by Taft and Cannon and Lodge
and Beveridge to the Republicans of
Maine where 1t apparently had little
effect, by the way. 1t is also true that
the slogan is being echoed and re-
echoed throughout the Republican
States. but that only makes it more
prominent and less creditabie to the
party. Ali questions of governmental
policy are to be held in allegiance or
reIegated to the rear. The Ubiquitous
tariff and the more UBIQUITOUS trusts,
the scandals and Encouragement in so
many places are of no moment, it ap-
pears. and all that is required of Re-
pubIicans Is to stick by Roosevelt.
If that isn't the superlative of bossism
we don't know what it Island such a
boss! Is there no independent thought
no manhood among .the Republicans
that they will tamely hear and obey
such a command?

The Indian Journal has little more
use for the Republican party than it
has for the negroes Of that Territory,
and thus expresses itself:
When the Indians trusted the Re-
publican party they trusted to bro
ken reed. BY what RUE of law or JUS
tice was the Indian deprived OF a
large portion of his property for the
purpose OF supporting black man
who was his former slave? BY what
color of right even was this done? 1t
might be said that 1t was done because
the black man was poor and ignorant
and had no means Of self support. But
why was the Indian. his former mas
ter, obliged to support him? me
Southern planter was not Obliged 70
support his former slaves. Why should
the Indian be made to DO so? Although
this question has been often asked 1t
has never been answered. 1t CANNOT
be answered satisfactorily. 1t would
require a damaging explanation.
We do not pretend to claim that
Democratic administrations and offi-
Gals have always done the Indians
Justice, but The Journal is correct
when 1t charges that soma OF the
greatest outrages against them have
come through the Republican party.

so many Of the "reformed' words had 5een extern

War Predictions.

EUROPEAN strategists have often predicted that
Germany intended, in the future, to test our
Monroe Doctrine. AS yet their predictions have
failed to materialize. At the present time they are
again pointing the finger of prophecy in this drec-
tion and sagely limiting that the kasers intense
citude for increased naval expenditure, is for the
purpose of putting into efectual operation his vast
colonization schemes. It is said that the western
hemisphere is his objective, and that he intends to
Germanze part Of this territory Hence, the in
creased naval program and the anxiety of those who
are scanning the heavens for approaching clouds.
At the present time there is no likelihood Of
trouble between these two countries. Existing re-
lations are far from indicating that either nation
suspects the other of entertaining uterlor motives.
1t is true that in 1898 the friendly feeling heretofore
maintained was on the verge of being interrupted,
but since then there have been many nterchanges of
good will Whatever bitterness existed atthat time
has long since been forgotten.
These rumors of possible numerous
as war correspondents and it is usually from this
source that they are launched. 1t would be just as
reasonable to presume that the American govern
ment eventually intends to Americanize Canada be-
cause few thousand farmers from here are taking
up homesteads in the western provinces These war
predictions rather absurd for they seldom have
more weight than that Of being an interesting

Revision of LUzUS.

Revision of LNzUS.
DURING the recent convention of lawyers in ST..
Paul, Judge Parker, of New York City, and who is a
of long experience in the administration of law,
spoke in favor of uniform system oflaws thru
out the United States. He believes that such sys.
tenn is desirable and predicted that the time is
not far distant when the several states would recog
nize the necessity for such change.
AS it is now, the penalties differ materially.
There is no uniformity In some states there is a
decided leniency, shown for some crimes, while in
others the punishment is severe. Under exist
ing conditions it is natural that such should be the
case The lawmakers in the different states have
as many different opinions such matters do
juries. One jury might acquit the accused where
another that had listened to practically the same
evidence, would find him guilty.
In other countries the laws are more uniform
than they are in the United States In some re-
spects many of our laws are the same, and Judge
Parker believes that their number should be in
creased. Perhaps in time Mr. Parker's views will
be given serious attention, and the criminal we'll
as the civil laws, will be established basis Of
equality wherever the American flag is in supreme
authority
