 James E. Campbell, former Demo- cratic Governor of Ohio and at pres ent member of the Tax Commission Qf that State. has announced that he Is receptive candidate for United States Senator to succeed Joseph B. Foraker.
 W. A. Conant. wpo was a delegate to the National Convention held at Jackson, Mich. in 1852. which gave birth to the Republican party, recently celebrated his 9lst birthday at his home in Colorado Springs. Col. Jarvis Cameron Buxton of Win ston-Salem, N. C., has announced his candidacy for Congress from the Fifth W. W. Kitchin, who has spent ten years in Washington and voluntarily retired to make the race for Governor. Senator Tillman of South Carolina believes that President Roosevelt will not accept 8 third term, and that Speaker Cannon will be the RepHbli- can nominee. He is likewise of the tain to be the Democratic standard bearer. It is reported that Leader Murphy has picked Lewis Nixon as the Tam many candidate for Mayor of New York in 1909. MT.

HuNrfsG wrrH A nHAss BAND.

The New Haven Register make.
 light of the claim set up for Roose
 welt that he is the great trust hun ter and trnst-buster of the age. The sherman law. It calls to mind. mas been effective in the admini#ration of four Presidents. and each one hes caus. cd prosecutions to be made under it. Lest we oyerrate or misjudge the antitrust activity Of Mir. Roosevelt here are the figures from the records of the Department of Justice: Under the Sherman law forty-seven suits were brought in President Harrison's administration. in President Cieveland'y second term 1o2, in President McKin- ley's term twenty eight, in President Roosevelt's term SO far twenty seven. Of those instituted by Mir. Roosevelt three have been successfully won and three are stiil pending. Thekrest have been lost. or substantially so.'
 That doesn't set the present admin istration very high as a fighter of the devouring trusts. The reason he is be- hind is obvious to The Register. MT. Roosevelt" it says, has gone after the trusts as he went after the bears in the canebrakes, with brass band. His predecessors accomplished as much or more than he did without alarming the country in the least, simply because they sounded no trumpets of defiance before them. Charles E. Hughes &C., complished a reform of the insurance business of the country compared with which the doings of the Roosevelt ad- miuistration are as nothing. and hav- ing done it, still possesses the conh- dspee of the financial men of the coun- try. simply because he weat about his work in quiet and rational way. You can't get much game if you herald your hunt with loud trumpets and the bass drum and cmybals--but can cause q most spectacular panic among the deni- gems of the forest. and some of them might even drop from fright"

WHY BLAME HIM,

Haskell, the new Governor of Okla homa, trod on the toes of The Kansas City Journal in his first official utter ance. That paper comments the gener- al tone of the Governors inaugural but thinks he went out of his way to taunt President Rssevelt and the Re- publican Party with the fact that Ok lahoma is Democratic"
 We'll we don't know so we'll about that. It is not quite an uncommon thing for q Governor to refer to the politics of his State approvingly If tho States politics are his own. If he does this decentiy and in order, and not in a spirit of low partisanshIp there is no harm done. He might even boast a little without violating any of the com mandments or discrediting himself or the State which has honored him by electing him Governor.
 Aside from the primary fact that ne is Democrat himself, and might nat urally be expected to show some satis- faction over the fact that his State is with him, the new Go osernor might be excused for handing gentle taunt to the President and his party. The ad- ministration and the party have been responsible for much of the misgovern- ment under which the people of the two Territories have lived for years. To the same source is due the delays and obstacles which have been thrown in the way of statehood for months. The new executive does well to feel proud of the Democracy of Oklahoma. and should not be eensured if he let's it be known in high places that he feels good about 1t.

4 WISE WORD TO WOuEy

All women but especially those most inter
eSled ln securing suffrage rights would do we'll
10 consider the advice which DR.. Andrew =
draper State Commissioner Of Education. gave
them in his address before the State Federation
OF Nomen's Clubs yesterday at Troy. Sneak
ing on What the Women's Clubs Can Do for
the Schools DR.. Draper told the federation
mat If ii would use its influence to secure the
election or appointment of decent and capable
men on school boards, and insist that boards
perform their duties properly, it would accom-
plsh 1ar more than it ever can by struggling
TO elect women members of such boards
Dir. Draper might have gone even further
without making truth offensive He might have
called The attention of his auditors to the fact
that one of the chief objections urged by prac-
tcal men against woman suffrage is the fail
IRE of women TO interest themselves actively
IN educational matters. Leaving out of con
sideration some school teachers and COM
paratively small number Of other women excep-
tonally intelligent and energetic, we think Il
is safe to say that womankind entertains and
lives up 10 the notion that school boards aud
schools run so automatically that an occasional
hour spent at session Of the Mothers Club in
Johnnie's school suffices to keep the wheels of
administration moving smoothly 1t is the
prevalence of this opinion that makes possible
the election OF inferior men to school boards
Many times 1t has been demonstrated that wise
concerted action by the women of a community
can compel the selection Of an efficient school
board and the adoption Of progressive policy
without the casting of single woman's ballot
Without arguing against the right of women
TO vote on school affairs then, we may reason
ably Insist, with DR.. Draper, that wOmen's
organizations can render society a more imme-
diate, if not greater, service by working d.
recty for better schools than by seeking suf-
frage or the official appointment of women
Understanding and direct personal effort are
hundredfold more potent than a mere ballot
or the dignity of an official post

PROGRESS FOR PROHIBITION.

In spite of the statement of Sir James Crch-
toni Browne that total abstainers, like poets, are
born not made and that their quality Of life
is not of the finest brand notwithstanding, also,
the protests of a less eminent American
against puritanizing the people of this country
and deprivlng them of their gentlemanly vices,
the fight for prohibition seems to be making
such headway as to afford little comfort to its
opponents Nor can it be asserted convncingly
that the movement is confined to those localities
where it is desired to keep so infammatory an
article as alcohol away from Il low class OF
negroes. Prohibition sentiment seems 10 be
growing stronger in many parts Of the United
States, and much progress has been made, ut
least theoretically in the direction Of prohibition
in places where determined antsalOOn senti-
ment would hardly have been looked for.
One of the strongest fights, and of the
most successful, seems to have been made in
Jefferson County, Ala, in WHICH the city
of Birmingham is situated. The contest-a dra-
matte one, especially at the finish-resulted in
a majority of about two thousand for prohibi-
tlOn, while the city of Birmingham itself, man
ufacturing centre. where saloon sentiment would
naturally be strong, voted against the PROPOSE
tion by "A majority of only 800, and places like
Ensley and Bessemer where there are large iron
works and where hundreds of workingmen sup
posed to be favorable to the sale of liquor are
employed gave large maJOrIIleS lOf pronlDltiOn.
In Delaware the question is to be decided on
November s. and 1t is reported that nothing has
lever before stirred the residents of Delaware
"as the campaign being waged has aroused
them 1t is the sole topic of conversation in
saloon church. home and public meeting place."
In Davenport Iowa. the war is being waged So
fiercely that the attorney who has been prosecut-
ing the saloon injunction cases there was es-
cOrted by a platoon of police to the station,
where he took a train for DeS MOnes with the
intention of remaining there for two or three
weeks Ito avoid the Threatened vengeance of the
mob which is now in infuriated condition"
Before he left the city he hanged in effigy op-
pOste his home. The Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road, which long ago took stand against
drinking on the part of its employees has now
gone step further and issued orders that no
drunken person shall be allowed to ride on it's
passenger trains In one of the larger cities of
the South in state where prohibition sentiment
has not yet been strongly developed. the liquor
interests are carrying elaborate notices in the
oaily press showing the value of property in
