REPUBLICAN HARMONY.

A few days since several of our es-
| teemed contemporaries INDUCED in
studied and labored editorials on how
the Republicans in Ohio had harmonized
their differences and how Taft had been
endorsed for president and how For
aker was conciliated, all for the sake of
political power and offices. 1t appears
that our contemporaries were premature
III their anticlpations and moralizing. 1t
may be well to lecture Democrats on
unity and harmony, but unfortunately
the unity and harmony is one-sided. As
a rule the thermometers on the Demo-
cratic side would eliminate BRYAN from
consideration, while they hold pro1ni-
nently in public view Mr.. Cleveland and
others. who have little sympathy for the
Democracy which fails to cringe the
knee to the money-clangers and auto
Gratis OF New York.
On the surface the Republicans, in
Guiding Roosevelt, are very much dis
gruntled over the failure of Foraker to
yield obedience to the machine of which
he is a part In SO far as the Democrats
are concerned they should do all in their
power to stimulate these differences.
Indeed, it is apparent that many of the
leaders on the Republican side are re-
senting seriously the dictation of few
men who would control their party. It
is not every Republican who will Jump
at the crack of the party whip. In the
Republican party, as in the Democratic
party, the contest is for the control of
patronage
What the Democrats of the Cleveland
type must do is to cease belittlng Bryan
and his followers. If a stronger man
than Bryan can be nominated and elect
ed, let him be named, but whoever he
be must be one who will be aggressive,
who will stand OH principles and for the
people i'll opposition to the autocrats
who would rejoice in the election of any
man, Republican or Democrat, who
would give assurance of not disturbing
the conditions as they are today.

Russia no Japanese commander won
more praises from Americans for cour,
age and good generalship than Kuroki
One of the characteristics of the dis

pressed foreign military attaches ann

him in the field was his modesty. Ii"

this trait and also because of his per-

Frederick Palmer, the noted war cor.
respondent. who was with Kuroki dur
ing some of the fierce fights with ku
ropatkin's men, his said that it will
be necessary to depart from tradition
when the sculptors perpetuate the f..
ure of Kuroki in marble or bronze He
wrote as follows on this subject:
When the japanese raise a statue to
him hope that he will not be riding a
prancing steed and swinging his sword
for he never rode a prancing horse and
never used his sword. To my recollection
i never saw him make any gesture ex-
cept TO salute. The sculptor had hes;
make him squatting and looking at u

as quickly as the head of great h,is-

SHORT COTTON CROP.

The indications all point to short
cotton crop this year. But the world
will need big crop, and, with short
crop. cotton will probably command the
highest prices next fall and winter that
the staple has brought in many years.
A short cotton crop may command a
good deal of money when prices are

said Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette
tonight, referring to the submission of
the direct primary constitutional amend
ment, which was wrung from a reluc-
tant legislature by The Call. backed

The people of California cannot be
too warmly congratulated on what
they have securedv continued La Fol-
lette. Let the good work go on; you
have made a surprfsingTy good begin
ming and the cause of the people and
honest government cannot fail to win.
The direct primary is one of the
greatest aids to popular government.
No statute can make a republican form
OF government self perpetuating. but
the direct primary brings the repre-
sentative face to face with the citi-
zen. It gives the citizen larger power
and brings him close enough to the
representative TO enable him to point
the way. In consequence the repre-
sentative recognizes his responsibility
and clean government results
The La Toilette whom I met on a
Southern Pacific train tonight was the
La Toilette of ten years ago. The
man with mission full Of fight and
who believes compromise means sur
render has declared war on the ma
chine ring in the United States SEN
ate and in each state represented by
machine senators. He has paid the
unfaithful servants of the people most
unwelcome respects. That California's
representatives in the upper house of
congress will share in this unpleasant
notoriety at the Dreamland rink to-
morrow night is foregone conclusion.

to the political activity of the San
Francisco gas and. electric company,
of which he is director, and
the Bay Cities water company,
with which he is connected as the rep
resentative of the Tevis interests.
Drum gave the prosecution the neces-
sary foundation upon which they will
be able to build their cases.
During the examination of Drum.
Assistant District Attorney Heney laid
special stress upon the membership of
the executive committee of the board
of directors. Drum stated that the
executive committee was composed of
John A. Britain, John Martin, E. ].

that Britain and Carrot McEnerney
looked after the question OF rates for
the company.
