PENALTIES OF PROSPERITY.
Demand for Labor and Industrial
Products Exceeds supply.
st. Louis Globe-Democr'

ST. Louis Globe-Democral.
Cries for workers on the farms are
arising I'm most of the states between
Illinois and the Rocky mountains. Loud
demands are being made in many quar-
tiers, manufacturing and agricultural, FOR
additional cars with which to move
freight. The railways say they have or
dered the additional cars, but that the
manufacturers cannot supply them as
fast as they want them. The railroads
also complain because the mills cannot NH
orders quick enough for steel rails, for
locomotives and for other equipments.
In ali parts of the country, and in many
lines of activity demand is far ahead OF
supply. Nobody now alive ever reInem-
bers such a general shortage in labor and
in the products of labor as there are in
the United States today. over a million
of immigrants come into the country
every year, thus heavily reinforcing the
increase produced by the excess OF births
over deaths. The country is growing in
population with great speed. Our manu-
facturers are increasing their facilities
OF production as fast as they can. act
they cannot keep up with the orders for
commodities. And the supply of workers
is so far short of the needs in the agri-
cultural regions and in the manufacturing
centers that a premium is being placed
on labor.
This explains why it is that the import
ers are busy these days. The amount
OF foreign merchandise in 1906 passed
the s1,1O0, 100000 mark. In 1895 they
were only S795,OOO. 900. There are two
reasons for the increase in imports. Pros
perity makes the American people increase
their purchases. The home supply being
inadequate to meet the home demand,
Americans have 10 go outside to get many
OF the things that they want. 1t is evil
dent from the returns thus far for the
fiscal year which began with Jdly that
the importation which the government
viii report for the twelvemonth ending
with June next will far surpass that Tor
the fiscal year recently ended. 1t would
be more agreeable to the masses OF Amer
leans 10 see all these goods supplied by
the home producer, but this Is impossibls
under the present vast increase in the
demand. American exports are growing
much faster than imports, but the in.
crease I'm each shows that our trade and
social relations with the rest of the world
are expanding at a pace tina. nobody
would have dreamed of as recently even
as the days OF Grant or Hayes in the
presidency.

MR.. gUegES ACCEPTANCE.


Charles +. Hughes address accept
ing the nomination for governor is d
model, meeting caAdidly and pithily
the issue. Confessing himself as a
lifelong republican and as one loyal
to the principles and best traditions
Of the party" MIR. Hughes fatty de-
clares that the supreme issue is not
one OF republican principles or Of
democratic principles, nor of partisan
ship, but the vital issue of decent
government" And he responds to the
call for him with a simple pledge,
backed by his character, to act as gov
ernor on conscience and common sense.
This position, absolutely devoid of
cant and buncombe, offers the best
possible opportunity for the decent
citizenship of New York. 1t is in
marked contrast with Hearstism, which
pretending to protest against bossism
is itself the most fragrant embodiment
of bossism, which, denouncing money
In politics draws fits breath OF life from
inherited millions invested in political.
manipulation, and which in this con-
test employs the grossest bargaining
as its chief tactics although crying out
against machine methods. Hughes as
governor promises an honest admins
tration." Hearst's scheme to become
governor is dishonest in substance and
method.
Upon the issue thus drawn in New
York the interest of the whole country
will be centered in hardly less degree
than upon the event of the congress
sional election. 1t is a test that will
tremendously affect the course of state
government in every state in the
Union, because there is everywhere
pressure of public conscience and
sanity for genuine loyalty in office.
On top Of that, the verdict in the En-
pire state is bound to have important,
perhaps decisive, consequences in the
field of national politics.

There is no good reason why Doug
las county republicans should delay
much longer the organization of their
county committee which is to assume
the active management of the cam
paign. There is no necessity of wait
ing for the actual issue of nomination
certificates, because an interminable
recount might be drawn out so as to
delay final action until the very eve of
election. The thing to do now is to get
down TO business for the campaign at
the earliest possible moment.

EMPTY ARE THEIR PROFESSIONS.

H"f Il ann ihbih FHOFESSIONS.
The arraignment of the democratic
opposition In the address of Charles
E. Hughes, accepting his nomination
as candidate for governor on the
republican ticket in New York is
equally applicable to the fusion oppo-
sition of Nebraska. Mr.. Hughes says:
Vain Is It for our opponents to parade
in the livery OF virtue Empty are their
professions and hollow their declarations
and promises.
The fused democrats and populists
OF Nebraska once had complete control
of all branches of our state govern
ment. but the record they made then
does not square with their professions
past or present.
The demo-Bop candidates promised to
increase the taxes of the railroads
when, as a matter of fact, the lowest
assessments placed on railroad prop
erty were put there by fusion assess
ment boards.
The demo-pop candidates talk about
abolishing free pass bribery when 1t is
notorious that not only was no anti
pass legislation enacted when they
were In control of the legislature, but
that no such revelry in free transpor-
tation has taken place in the state
house before or after.
The demO-pop candidates talk about
railroad regulation and correction of
railroad abuses. but no state board of
transportation was made up of more
AFFECT railroad tools than those in
stalled there "a a result of temporary
success of fusion in Nebraska.
Promises which the demo-pop can
didates are making today have been
made by them time and again only to
be repudisted or forgotten when the
opportunity to redeem them came.
They may parade in the livery of
virtue" but the people can see be-

The wisdom of the decision of the
government to increase the Panama ca
nal locks so as to accommodate vessels
1000 feet in length is indicated by
the rapid enlargement of ocean-going
ships. New York has just awakened
to the fact that its harbor neither in
depth of water nor in dock facilities
will accommodate some of the vessels
now afloat and under construction.
The largest of those in commission
though they enter the harbor, cannot
do so when full ladened. Others in
actual construction call for a much
deeper channel than the approach to
the New York harbor, compelling a
vast expenditure of money to meet ex-
listing conditions of commerce and
naval architecture.
While the 1,000-foot limit has not
yet been reached for ocean ships, the
two new Cunard steamships, Lustiania
and Mauritania, approach it and es-
tablish the probability that it will be
reached possibly by the time the canal
is ready for use. 1t is at any rate GER
tain that the original lock limit would
then, or soon thereafter, be INSULT
cient. The change of plan, although
involving large increase in first cost,
was not only necessary, but shows the
vast magnitude of the factors which
have to be taken into account in pro-
jecting the historic work.

UNFAIR TO THE NEWSPAPERS.
Ruling of Interstate Commission Pro-
nounced "Ridiculous."


Leslies Weekly
Newspapers are interested in a ridiculous
ruling made by the Interstate Commerce
commission. This forbids the exchange Of
newspaper advertising space for railroad
transportation. even when both are given
at the full rates The great newspapers
will probably welcome the ruling. as 1t will
compel the railroads to pay in cash for all
their publicity; but thousands of little
newspapers scattered throughout the coun-
try. which have always exchanged adver-
Using space at regular rates for railroad
transportation. will rebel against the ruling
OF the commission. All these papers have
a fixed price for their advertising space
and 1t has been the custom for them to ex-
change this space not only for railroad
transportation, hut for duebills on hotels
and merchandise accounts. When the great
annual gatherings Of the National Editorial
association are held, hundreds of the dele
gates pay for their transportation to the
place Of the convention by an exchange OF
space at regular rates. What there is un-
fair or in the way OF discrimination In this
is beyond comprehension. The pers
have something to sell. and so have the
railroads Newspapers could pursue the
roundabout course OF selling space to the
railroads. receiving checks or cash in pay
ment. and turning the money back into the
railroad Office for tickets, but this circum-
locution is unnecessary when interchangea-
bic values or commodities are involved.
The ruling of the Interstate Commerce
commission, therefore is utterly indefensi-
Bile. We have no doubt that the newspa-
pers will voice their opinion Of the matter
in a way that will be heard at Washington
before the next session OF congress.

When Cervera's torpedo boat destroyers
emerged from the harbor of Santiago.
Commander Wainwright, in the converted
yacht Gloucester, made for them, though
each one of them was nominally more than
match for his hastily-armed pleasure
vessel. He riddled them with his machine
guns and drove them ashore and immor-
talized himself. And now the Gloucester
lies high and dry on the beach at Pensa-
cola. But it had done its work and it's
name will not soon be forgotten.
