BRYAN AND HEARST.

Mr.. Max Ihmsen, the manager of
Mr.. William Randolph Hearst s po-
litical ambitions, was in Washing
ton the other day and talked to the
Washington Herald about the future
of the Independence League. He
says it is gaining ground in many
states, especially in Massachusetts,
Illinois, California, Indiana and
Now York, and that there will be
national conference to push the or
ganization along in the fall. Mr..
Ihmsen declared that voters were as
serting their independence more and
more, and that he was very hopeful
that they would shortly throw of
the "party yokes." This would all
seem to be very hopeful to democ-
racy if it were notfor the fact which
Mr.. Bryan asserts, that the Indc-
pendence League and domocracv are
travelling in the same direction. IF
the recruits to the independence
League in the states mentioned come
from democrats, what use is there

THE INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE.

The evidences continue to accumu-
late of the Matchmaking of the So
called independence League, and
with it the candidacy of William
Randolph Hearst for the presidency.
iGrenville S. MacFarland was the
chairman of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee in Massachusetts. In
"a letter to John P. Feeny, who is
chairman Of the entire Democratic
Committee of that state, he has re-
signed, because he desires to cast III
his future with the independence
League in that commonwealth, and
to promote the election of William
Randolph Hearst to the presidency
of the United States.
The most notable feature of the
incident is that Mr.. MacFarland
comes from the Democratic ranks,
and it is from that source that Mr..
Hearst and the Independence League,
which are really one and the same
thing, expect to draw their follow
ing, or, at least, the balk of it. Mr..
Hearst s game in New York was to
{ make the League so strong that the
regular Democracy would be COM
PEELED to nominate him for governor
in order to preserve its position AS
the second party in the State in nu-
merical strength. He may be attempt
ing similar coup in national poll
tics, but it is not likely to work so
well. The field is too wide. But
Mr.. Hearst, through his system of
newspapers and otherwise, is exert

radical of Democrats, and it remains

RICH AND POOR.

Plain-spoken Americans are wont
to make sport Of Henry James, the
expatriated American novelist, for
his intricate, involved and almost in
terminable sentences. Only the
other day a jokesmith wrote gag
about him which all the country is
laughing over.
~ have just been reading a story
by Henry James," said one man.
"What's it about9" asked the
other.
''He hates to tell,' was the reply.
Yet Henry James can write very
plainly and very forcibly when he
tries. In a current magazine article
he says:
cit is observable the world over
that the poor are kinder to the poor
in proportion than the rich are, or
even the rich are to the rich.
Henry James has sized up human
conditions with the eye Of seer.
He has written down the heart of the
poor man; he has recorded the truth
about the rich.
True, his estimate cannot be laid
down as universal rule, for with
this faulty old human nature Of ours,
chock full, as it is, Of original sin,
there are thousands of exceptions to
his statement, but to the student of
mankind there can be no doubt
about the truth Of his declaration
that "the poor are kinder to the
poor than the rich are"

it would appear that under even an

New York and other Northern cities

A WARNING TO FIGHT ON.

The astonishing scene at the SEN
fencing of Mayor Schmitz IN San
Francisco is full OF meaning for
those who know the forces AT work
in that city today. The impudence
Of the convicted man and the inso-
lence Of his attorneys afe eAp alma
BILE. That such man as Schmitz,
convicted Of crime on overwhelming
evidence, should dare to talk of
running for the highest Office in the
clty-an office he has been convicted
OF debauching- should dare to ms 1t
the court In its recognized and time
honored duty Of accompanying SEN
tence with words justly expressing
the gravity Of the crime punished
furthermore, that counsel should dare
to abet the prisoners insolence and
to second it, all this means but one
thing.
That one thing is the existence of
an organized cabal against the pros
ecution, definite and powerful and
fully equipped secret support of
SchmitZ.
What the component parts Of
this support are, where it ramifes,
whence it draws it's revenue and in
fiuence may not now be declared.
But its existence no one with COM
mon sense can doubt. It makes the
tension OF the drama, the tragedy of
San Francisco, trebly tense. 1t
draws to the devoted prosecution the
eager sympathy and moral support
OF every honest American. It must
arouse to passionate determination
the good citizenship of San Francis
co.
The scene in Judge Dunne's court
room surely proves to every true cit
izen of that city that the prosecu-
ton must be supported aggressively,
that it must go to the bottom of this
reform, without fear or favor, with
out respect Of persons. 1t has
pledged itself to do it. 1t must be
supported in the doing.

Wilson's jamestown address TO

Public Opinion Throughout the Union

The reason for this is not hard to
find.
Thesr rich man, engrossed in money
making or pleasure, or both, has lit
tie time to devote to the poor, even
If he had the desire to make a move
in their behalf. AS a general rule
he knows nothing and cares less
about conditions under which the
poor must live. He has "made his
pile," and is content to live his own
life and let the poor man live his.
But what of the poor manq Bit
ter experience has taught him the
truth of the poets saying, ga fell
low feeling makes us wondrOus
kind. " He knows what it is to be
deprived of all the luxuries and some
of the necessities of life. The chan
ces are ten to one that at some time
he has gone hungry. With a family
on his hands at times it seems to
him that the greatest problem in
the world-the only problem, in fact,
other than that of saving his inn
mortal souls to make one dollar
do the work Of two.
Having this problem to solve, and
knowing how hard it is for millions
OF other men as poor as himself to
solve, he is considerate of his fellow
man, and his poverty, actual or COM
parative, engenders in his heart a
feeling of. forbearance and sympathy
and love for every man and woman
who is compelled to labor as hard as
he.
1t may be true, as Robert Burns
declared in his well-known poem,
that
Man s inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn -
1t is also true that the humanity
of man to man makes countless
thousands rejoice, and that in all the
world there is no sight which so in
spires one with belief in the gen
eral goodness of mankind as whole
as the readiness with which the
great body Of the plain people re-
spond to any worthy call for assis-
tance.-FOrt Worth Telegram.

RACE RIOT IN NEW YORK.

IC was purely a cOlOr-llne affair
based upon race prejudice, race an
tagonism, race hatred or whatever
you may call it. The facts show
this; no other explanation, however
hair-splitting or philosophical, will
do, 1t was the third or fourth race
clash in New York during the last
year and even from conservative ac-
counts given it was the real thing in
the race riot line.
1t appears that policeman tried
to arrest a disorderly negro in b.
caity inhabited almost entirely by
people of the same race. A large
number of negroes In total Ignorance
OF the cause for the arrest locked
to the scene and with charac, eristic
race instinct brought rators into play
with the result that the policeman
was badly cut and slashed about the
face and hands and was beaten until
it was thought that he would die.
A number of white men, who were
also ignorant of the cause or nature
OF the disturbance except that row
between the races was in progress,
promptly took part and the race riot
got so bad that a large force of extra
police had to be called out to restore
order. They succeeded only after
freely using their clubs. Half a doz-
en- people we're seriously injured and
one or two deaths were expected.
Here is a lesson which our we'll
meaning but misguided friends in
the North who undertake to explain
and prescribe for race clashes at
long distance might do we'll to study.
The negroes who went to the rescue
of the member of their race whom
the policeman was trying to arrest
knew nothing of the nature of the
trouble except that it was between
a white man and a negro. The white
men who subsequently took part in
the disturbance were equally as ig-
norant. It was a case Of race an
tagonism, pure and simple. And it
expresses itself in New York at fre-
quent intervals.
The Richmond News-Leader COM
menting on this most recent race
riot in New York hits the nail on
the head in the following paragraph:
"Exactly that kind of thing used
to happen in the South time after
time and the Northern people could
not be made to believe that the
whites were not the aggressors and
in fault invariably. They argued
that it was contrary to reason that
the negroes should provoke trouble
where they were powerless to meet
it. Yet they did just that very thing
in New York and have done it re-
peatedly. Here in the South we
have peace and the two races pros
per and go their respective ways
side by side. The storm center has
shifted to the other side of the river
and we shall watch with interest and
curiosity the methods Of handling
most unpleasant situation.
