POLITICAL SITUATION.

The political campaign now in full progress on the outside is being ercey fought than previous pc

 With Taft things not going we'll There has been dissatisfaction among the party leaders with the in which Hitchcock is conducting the campaign the charges against Foaker of being connected with the Stand ard Oil Company cannot be denied and proved bombshe in the Republican camp; and the fact that Roosevelt much desires the election of Taft has proved derimen rather than advantage to that gentleman.
 While there is small doubt that Roosevelt himself would have elected had he been nominated it not for the anthderm sentiment tendery nursed by the American people, they not willing to allow him to choose his It easy enough for him to whip the convention into line but when it to the voters it is different story. ~,. -<--
 Taft has refused to meet Bryan in joint debate Roosevelt has that he will have further troversy with the Democratic nominee and it begins tc look if the Republicans really beginning to see the government slipping away from them.
 Whatever the outcome may be, there is no doubt but Bryan will make stronger than in either of his for campaigns, and looking at it from this distance it pears that he stands good chance of being elected
 The situation sized up by the Omaha WorldHeralo Dem which is considered the most authoritative Bryan paper in Nebraska with the exception of Mr. Bryans weekly, is follows:

.REoEIYER FOR MAGEEs BANK.
The Government steps In After Ills Suicide
at ManAsquan, n. J.

AsBURY PARK. N. j.. May 7.-John W,
Bchohed was appointed to-day receiver
Of the First National Bank Of Manasquan'
whose president. Morgan DelanOey Magee,
shot himself yesterday. Receiver Schoiield
paced notice on the bank doors announce
Ing his appointment He refused to make
any statement regarding the condition oil
the bank but said that news would prob
ably be given out In Washington.
II Ia believed In Manasquan that the bank
is entirely solvent and will reopen in short
time The prevailing opinion among the
business men expressed to-day was that the
Terhune brothers would come 10 the rescue
and make good any deficiency that might
be discovered
Manasquan people, however, scout the
idea of any criminal act on the part Of
Magee. They held the dead president In
very high esteem and apparently regard
his misfortune az due exclusively 10 bad
investments In the New Jersey Bridge
Company. II is said that Magees whole
fortune was lost In this venture and that
he personally indorsed notes to the amount
OF over NlVJtVJo lpi Ntio blhNho NShAl
Alleged oyerdrafts at the bank led TO criti-
Cism from the national Department, which
Is believed to have precipitated yesterdays
tragedy.
Receiver Schofed would not admit that
he had inspected the institution recently,
nor would he deny II.
The most notable features Of the last
statement Of the First National Bank Of
Nlanasquan, issued February Il, 1905, are
the small amount Of cash ON hand and the
amount due To other banks. OF cash on

uIGH SCHOOLS IN GROCPS,

Plan SUGGESTED In brooklyn.

ER ch Prov Nidlnk q separate NOp's0 i"'
Plan suggested In Brooklyn.
Clarence j. Kingsley. chairman OF the
committee to investigate the crowded con
dItion OF Brooklyn high schools, reported
Yesterday that there is urgent need OF more
hiRh school, in that borough. HIS com
mttee found that all six OF the Brooklyn
hiah schools were 10 overcrowded that the
quality of the work is seriously injured
and HAT last February OF the students who
applied for admission i,9ll were compelled
no 10 10 anneXea. These anneXes, the re-
port SAYS, are temporary makeshi'S ap-
proved by no one and were resorted 10 ohly
as a method Of relief. .
In February, 1907, the register was II, ,oi2,
while in a year It had increased by nearly
1900 Should this percentage OF increase
keep up for five years the plan OF having
two separate sessions day IN every hlRI
school would not be adequate, but three and
a half sessions would be required. \ map
showed that 5.27s students usually walk
10 and from school, while 1872 ride both
10 and from school This riding costs
$3.50 a wear, which is a big expense to many
families that have two or three children
attending high school. The time consumed
in riding il estimated at 100000 hours a
year. This goes to prove that two schooH
of moderate size would I've grea'eT Dtl'i'

concludes
some Of these students nsut general

others manual training, and others should

CHICAGO, May 2.-Ststements by railroad
operating officials indicate that as a result
Of the Feneral sixteen hour law, which
went into eject March 4. the income Of
freighttrainmen has been reduced In many
instances where the rearrangement Of runs
has neoessitated the employment OF addi-
tional crews
On the Union Pacific and other roads
some traInmen are earning Is per cent.
less than before. One freight run on the
Union Pacific of iot miles b now divided
into two, one lit miles and the other forty
seven miles. The longer run is operated
the same a. before, while the other e cpe--
ated by having a crew 60 out and come
hack the same day. This arrangement
makes necessary the employment Of addi-
tional crews, and results In a reduction OF
the average income.
The law has equAliEed the rest periods OF
those crews who formerly took long rest
at the homo end Of their runs and short
one at the other end.
