SECRETARY ROOTS BIG JOURNEY
"AmerIca for Anierieans" North and
south.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
Secretary Roots visit to the leading cap
itals of South America will supplement the
part the United States is to play in the
Pan-American congress at Rio Janeiro.
This countrys relations with the Latin re-
publics are generally friendly, although
once in while there is sudden blaze
of enmity.
Nearly century ago Henry Clay plan
ned a grand scheme Of what amounted
almost TO an American empire, compris-
ing the United States. Mexico. Central
America and the whole southern continent.
Secretary Root has apparently no such am
bition nor is he likely to try to do more
than carry personally this countrys good
wishes to all the nations he visits.
The United States has rendered an in
cslculable service to its smaller sister re-
publics by adherjng to the Monroe Doc
trine. There is no reason to doubt that
these republics recognize the protection at
forded them. They must also realize now,
If they have not always done so, that the
United States has no, notion of absorption
in their direction.
America for Americans is still as strong
a slogan as II ever was It can be put
down as certain that Secretary Roots great
tact and diplomacy will add still greater
potency to that cardinal principle.

EXPANDING INCOME.
Government Resources Keep Pace
with Increased Expenses.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

81. Louis GlOhe-DemOcrat.
An agreeable feature of the treasury
statement for June and for the fiscal yeaI
ending with that month is that the sur s.
plus increases as fuller returns come in
The revised figures show an excess of more
than S26,0O0o0O in the governments re,
ceipts over its expenditures for the fiscal
year. There was defcit Of So. OO0.O 600
In 1903 and Of sS4, 10000 In 1904. This change
in which there Is a balance OF S26.OOO.OOO
on the right side Of the ledger for 1906 is a
decidedly satisfactory development.
Necessarily the governments outgo in
ereases as the years pass. The country is
growing in population and business, and
the extent OF the governments activities
constantly broadens. There are excellent
reasons why the cost of the government is
greater In 1905 than II was i'm 1896 or 1900.
The cost viii be stiH greater In 1910 But
income increases faster than outgo Not
only are the people better able to pay the
new burdens Of government, but the fund
for their payment keeps on growing. This
is why the treasury officials are feeling
an exhilaration these days which has been
absent in recent years.
The republican is a debt paying and sur
plus providing party. II cut down close
to the vanishing point the debt caused
! by the democratic rebellion. But the coun-
try thought that debt paying was goine
on at too fast a gait and II elected demo
| cratic president. Then. after an interva
Of four years, Il chose that democratic
president again, and as consequence OF
the second blunder bonds had to be sold
to meet the deficit in the treasury which

Fidelity to Principle


Senator Gearin of Oregon has given
remarkable proof OF fidelity to principle
Recently an amendment to the state con-
sttution was adopted providing for a di-
rect primary nomination of all candidates
for office, including United States senator's
The democrats under this provision, nomi-
mated Mr.. Bourne. The democrats have a
majority in the legislature, but the repub-
leans polled a majority in the popular vote.
Believing that the intent of the law was
that popular majority should determine
who shall be senator, Mr.. Gearln urges the
legislature to elect his republican opponent,
in spite OF the existence of a democratic
majority. This is testifying by works,
surely; and 1t would not require many
such manifestations Of fealty to the prin-
ciple of popular election of senators to
bring the agitation for that object to a
successful conclusion,,,s

OUR MEATS ABROAD.

The presidents response, transmitted
through Ambassador Whitelaw Reid,
to the British grocers' confederation,
shows how great a power has been put
in the hands of the United States gov
eminent by the meat inspection law
for restoring and extending our canned
meat trade in foreign markets. The
British grocers federation's direct APP
peal to President Roosevelt was
prompted by the damage to our meat
trade resulting from the sensational
disclosures as to conditions in the Chi
cago packing houses, since consumers
in great numbers suddenly refused to
take American preserved meats and
meat products. 1t is obvious that un-
less means had been supplied by con-
gress, in line with the course urged by
the president. to insure the whole
someness of our meat foods, 1t would
have been impossible to satisfy foreign
consumers, and in spite of the fact that
the proper legislative means were sup
piled, they required further Official spe-
cific assurance.
II is fortunate, therefore, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is able in the strongest
and most explicit manner officially to
guarantee to the associated dealers and
the consuming public of Great Britain
the purity and healthfulness of all
canned meats bearing Official stamp
under the new inspection law. In nc
other way would it be possible to put
life into our paralyzed canned meat
trade in that market, for not otherwise
could the president have given the
necessary assurance to disguised and
apprehensive consumers.
Clearly the new inspection law must
| operate as beneficially to our packing
industry and also to the live stock in
terest as to consumers. and it can nov
be seen that the president has beer
the true friend of the farmer from the
| first.

Reasons that Favor Rosew"ter..

Hastings Tribune pep).
Now that Edward Rosewater Is home
looking after his own campaign more in
terest than ever will be manifested in the
progress Of the senatorial race.
AS the situation stands today Rosewater
and Brown are the only candidates who
have developed any strength. Crounse is
down and out Of IT, as the Rosewater vic
tory In Douglas county decided his fate in
short order, and incidentally exposed the
weak political influence the World-H
Yields outside Of its own party. Senator
Willard cannot be looked upon as a candi-
date for denomination because he failed to
permit the people Of his own county to
voice their sentiment in regard to his
candidacy during the late primaries. He
knew then whether or not he was a candi-
date, and II he was he should have given
his people a fair chance 10 express them
selves; and II he was not a candidate at
that time, but has become one since, he is
trying to stack the political cards so as TO
take the nomination Of a senator out Of the
convention and leave II entirely with the
Legislature TO settle. But that little deal
cannot be worked this time. The only thing
left for Mr.. Willard to do is TO sidestep in
the most graceful manner that Is becoming

So far Rosewater has a total of 9s votes
pledged to his support, while Brown has
but 81. Rosewater has II from Cedar,
from Garfield and SO from Douglas Brown
has 10 from Buffalo and IS from York.
There are still rs counties to hear from,
with a total delegation of 746
There are many reasons why Edward
Rosewater would make good representa-
tive for Nebraska IN the upper house Of
the United States congress: He is sound
on all republican principles, he is in per-
feet touch with the needs Of this state and
he knows how to champion the peoples
rights. Mr. Rosewater has never posed as
a radical reformerr but he has persistently
fought for equal taxation, opposed corpora
! ton rule and denounced the free pass evil.
When he fights he fights in the open. He
never plays to the grandstand that ne may
| be tckled with a little fiattery and the
| plaudits OF the people. He Is conscientious
in his work and the republicans Of Ne
braska will know where to find him should
they honor him with a seat in the United

Neither the Railroad Choice.

Republican county conventions have
been held in less than dozen counties,
three OF which have declared for Rose
water and two for Norris Brown. In the
others "favorite sons" have the pref
erences of the rank and file for senator
on the block for barter and they may
possibly be apportioned on between Rose
water and Brown delegations for votes in
the gubernatorial contest, which follows
the senatorial selection. But the develop
ments are such as to conhne the contest
to Norris Brown and Editor Rosewater,
neither Of whom can be regarded as the
ideal candidate from a railroad standpoint.
