Beckham of Kentucky.

A friend of Gov Beckham, writing from
Louisville. proposes that successful young
politician for President. The description
given Is attractive and true. No one can
deny that man who has accomplished SO
much within eight years and before reach
ing his fortieth birthday must possess the
qualities of leadership and gift for public
business. He Is today the most influential
democrat in Kentucky. He has put both
Mr. Blackburn and Mr. McCreary out of
business and is his party's nominee for
United States senator over the active oppo-
sition OF Mr.. Watterson. The democratic
candidate for governor is one Of his lieu
tenants. and all over the state his friends
are In control of the party's machinery. He
may be fifty characterized as kentuckys
favorite democratic son, and, ordinarily.
instructions for him for President would be
easily obtained and might be expected
But the present Is not an ordinary situa-
ton. There is contest in the democratic
party between Organism and anti-Bryan-
ism. The friends of Mr.. Bryan are urging
his third nomination upon the ground not
only of his personal attractiveness, but that
he represents the most aggressive and pro-
gressive braT of democracy. II the party
is to go forward. they insist, it must be
according to his chart, and therefore 1t
should be under his personal leadership.
They are supporting him Internationally
and against all corners. They either laugh
or sneer at the whole favOrite son business.
The opponents of Mr.. Bryan. on the other
hand-and many of them are finding their
inspiration in or from Wall street-insist
that he is not a democrat, and that another
campaign under his leadership would mean
the humiliation Of the democratic party.
AS they see matters. he must be defeated
in the party's interests: and hence the
effort to weaken his hold upon the party
by bringing forward platoon Of favorite
sons. Tom is to take one state away from
him, Dick another. Harry another, and so
on. Then. when mere compliments have
done their deadly work without accom-
plishing more than Mr.. Bryan's destruction,
the favorite sons will be cast aside as used
up material and a real boom for a real
leader inaugurated.
Do the Kentucky friends of Gov. Beckham
see the point? Are they entering him in
this race for the express purpose OF assist
ing the anti-Bryan program? Is 1t their
desire to see Mr.. Bryan endorsed and q
man practically OF Wall streets choice
lifted into the saddle? And what says Gov.
Beckham? Is he willing to play the game?
Or is 1t his purpose to stand by Mr.. Bryan
and send delegation from Kentucky to
the next democratic national convention
pledged to the Nebraskan as against all the
Vaccinations of the latter's enemies?
There are supposed to be u good many
Bryan men in the Blue Grass state, and
Gov. Beckham just now needs them very
much in his business.

as the great benefit OF these equipped
spaces has been realised by a father or .
mother there are no more doubts about the
necessity Of official provision for the en-
tertainment Of the little folks OF the streets
and back lots.
1t behooves every parent to make some
provision for the home work Of the young
sters. boys and girls alike. in cases where
the families are not sent away from the
city for the summer. With the closing Of
school should come a new domestic sched-
ule. with a redistribution of tasks. The
front and back yards offer excellent OPP
portunities for keeping the children busy.
Nothing Is more harmful than the absolute
lack OF occupation. All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy. according to an
ancient and weli-honored adage. But It is
just as true that all play and no work Is
apt to be even worse for Jack.

something about something. We failed and

thousands OF lives, hundreds of miIlions 90
dollars. an enormous increase OF orr nsD.

Mr. Roosevelt has been CHARGED NTH
much, but this Is too much He was :, 10

had succeeded In keeping him out of Office
ana almost certainly. he would have gone
10 the front even from private station
SUCH struggle in such a cause would have
appealed strongly to his temperament and
to his sense OF Justice
II Is fact, however. that the upposition
10 the appointment of Mr. Roosevelt az
assistant secretary of the navy was vigor-
Gus and widespread. 1t was never fully ex-
planned. Probably few people had the fear
confessed by this Massachusetts man.
Everybody knew that Mr. Roosevelt vas

but 10 accredit him with the ability IN
throw. from a subordinate station. the
country into war with foreign nation was
at once to magnify his powers and cheaper
the powers of his superiors.
In the Navy Department Mr.. Roosevelt
was very much alive. and did good service
lie mastered the details of all the business
Entrusted to his hands. War with Spain
became necessity from the day the Maine
was destroyed. and nobody saw this more
quickly or more plainly than Mr. Roose-
welt. And very properly. of course he felt
concern about the preparedness of the coun-
try to act He did everything in his power
To help equip the navy for the struggle. and
then went himself into the army.
The Presidents combativeness is very
marked. and 1t sometimes leads him into
unwise and unnecessary positions. The joy
OF battle is in his blood. When he entered
the White House there were people who
predicted that only extraordinary luck
would save US from a foreign war in
short time. But they were mistaken The

Show me the road to Lazyville-
1t can't be far away
Where shadows linger cool and still
And idle sunbeams play.
Where rustling leaves are whispering soft
And skies are mild and blue.
And placid cloud-banks drift aloft,
With nothing else to do.
Oh, Lazyvile's a dear old place:
It's over DreamIand way:
The routes not difficult to trace
Upon a summer day.

The wild flowers on the hill,

Policies and Successors.
rom the New York Evening Post

From the New York Evening Post.
There has been less talk. the past few
weeks. about the Presidents purpose to see
to it that his successor shall be man who
will carry out his own policies. This does
not necessarily signify. however, that Mr..
Roosevelt has relaxed his determination. II
Is only that the common way of treating
the subject has become something of bore.
The propriety Of the Presidents plan has
been much discussed the possibilities Of his
success canvassed; the probable fall of his
choice debated; presidents looked up: poll
ticians sounded. Few, however. have gone
behind all this to ask whether it is de-
sirable that any Presidents policies be
continued" in the sense intended. Still
fewer. perhaps. have looked to the deeper
political significance OF the entire PROPOSE
ton.
