A ROUGH PASSAGE.

1t was rough sailing on the finan-
cial seas for a few days, and the
waters are still bit choppy, but the
good ship Prosperity with never a
leak has passed safely through an
experience that would have wrecked
her under conditions as they existed
in 1893. Confidence made the pas
sengers sit tight when the squat
struck Wall street, and the bankers,
like good mariners, kept her nose
ahead of the gale. Well, yes. some
water In the hold was pumped out,
and some ballast thrown overheard.
Maybe some of her crew have been a
bit mutinous under discipline and
have threatened to scuttle the ship;
but they will be hanging from tht
yard arm when Captain Roosevelt
and Executive Officer Cortelyou get
through with them. Fortunate II
was, too, that the resourceful captain
found a few yards OF spare canvas,
marked panama" in a locker, and
with thds spread TO the breeze, Il
should not take Prosperity long to
make up the lost time, and the pas
sengers win have an unusually good
reason for observing Thanksgiving
this month.

COOPERATION OF STATE AND
NATION.

Not the throttling OF local self
government by the federal authority,
but cooperation between state and
national government Is sought by the
administration. President Roosevelt
has called for a conference of the
governors of the states and territories
at the white house in May to COLI
slider ways and means of conserving
the natural resources of the country.
This nation is not made up of con-
federacy of isolated states, but is one
indivisable whole. Wherein the who'll
mass is interested alike, the national
government should regulate, ana
wherein only limited localities are
interested and the rest of the coun-
try not affected, the state SHOULD
regulate. That is good sense. And
In all cases the states and the ma
tional government should cooperate
for the common good.
For years our internal policy has
been concerned alone with develop
ment, extension of transportation
facilities and the settling of waste
lands. To facilitate and encourage
the building Of railroads and the de-
velopment of our resources we have
been extravagant in gifts of land and
extension OF privileges. because our
resources seemed unnOunded and our
population limited. Now, conditions
are reversed. We find our minera.
and timber supplies being exhausted;
our fertile districts becoming crowd
ed and the interests. which profted
by the generosity of the government,
grown rich and greedy and selfish.
The nation Is more concerned with
developing the rivers, saving the for
ests and the grazing lands and maxi
ing fertile the arid places, than with
the far eastern question; but when
ever the national government makes
move in the direction of internal
economy. 1t is met with vast inter-
ests, that control the press in some
instances and the legislatures, and
they cry that the nation Is trans
crossing state rights, and the people
become alarmed over their cherished,
sacred rights of self-government,
which they have neglected so long
that other parts of the country have
been affected by the spoliations OF
these legislature controlling inter-
ests Much good should come of that
conference next May.

ham. He Is made the scapegoat OF

ton to the senasorship Will bur
aggravate the animosity, and widen
the breach in the party. Yet, il
would be an act of peridy for Dem
oorat to vote against him, since he
was elected to the legislature, bound
by the verdict of the state primary to
vote for Beckham for United States
senator. Sometimes it is better TO
lose all than part.

A Hafless Man.

Bareheaded and without an over

Yonkers, sailed on the Kronprinz VIII
helm yesterday. The Steward seeing
possibilities of reward ran to him
to offer to find his headgear. The
hatless one ran his fingers through Il
thick mass of hair, thanked the stew
ard and walked the deck without
concern. Several friends went to the
ship to wish him good voyage.
Fifteen years ago Mr.. Mead threw
away his hat and has never worn one
since He says he is a great deal
healthier and happier because of this,
and he looks 1t. The hatless one has

snvEREIGN CITIZENS.


Did we always qualify the word
citizen with sovereign, perhaps, we
would talk less about personal lib
erty and rights and more about duty
and obligation; for a sovereign has
mo liberty, only certain prerogatives,
which are necessary for the proper
discharge Of the responsibilities rest
ing upon him.
Upon every citizen of this country
endowed with the right TO vote and
participate in the government is i'm
posed the responsibilities and obliga-
tions OF a sovereign. Every act, OF
his, whether in his private business
or in relation to the society or in the
performance of public duties, finds
it's reflex in the government in so far
as that citizens authority and in
fiuence go. No citizen has a single
night or liberty that is not bound up
and hedged round by his obligations
as q sovereign. 1t Is the price he
pays for popular government. No
one can shake off this responsibility
II he disregards it, he is simply an
unfaithful sovereign. and to the ex-
tent that he disregards his obliga-
ttons. the country suffers; for the
government will be just as good -as
the average Of her citizenship. Free
dom? There Is no freedom from
eternal vigilance. Either we must
watch over ourselves, or some one
must watch over us. 1t will be our
selves, or a monarch or a political
boss.
