The republicans of Missouri, at the pri-
mary election this month, polled so per
cent of the tremendous Roosevelt vote Of
1904, when Roosevelt carried Missouri by
$1,000. And this vote was polled without a
contest OF any kind of sufficient Importance
to induce a large attendance Of republicans
at the primaries.
The Kansas democrats at the primary
election polled less than 80 per cent of the
very small vote given Parker in 1904, when
Roosevelt carried Kansas by more than
$4,000. And the Kansas democrats had
three candidates for governor who can
vassed the state before the primary cleo
ton.
What reason have the Bryan managers
for claiming that Kansas is a doubtful
state" and Missouri safely democratic"
in view of the showing made in the pri-
mary contest?

The opening of another large tract
Of land on the Sioux Indian reservation
is not a sign that there are fewer In
dams. but means that the Indians are
making better use Of their land. In
stead OF chasing %jackrabbits and stint
lar small deer across broad acres of
fertile prairie, the noble red man to-
day is raising corn and wheat and inn
pounding his stock within fenced en-
closures. These are some facts COM
mended to the good people of the east
when they are making up their esti-
mate of the west.

Travelling men who make the smaller

Travelling men who make the smaller
towns in Nebraska and come very
much in touch with the sentiment of
the voters, find very little reason for
the belief that Mr.. Bryan will pull any
stronger in his own state than he did
in 1900, when he failed to carry It.
The Bryan enthusiasm exists mainly
in the Offices of a few newspapers
whose business it is to beat the tomtom
and try t o distract the voters by their
noise.

KEEPING THE RECORD sTRAIGR1

KEEPING THE RECORD STRAI GET.
A masquerading letter writer essays
to make a point in the democratic
World-Herald on The Bees comment
on the Baltimore Suns bolt of Bryan,
in which we referred to the Suns sup.
port of Bryan in 1896 as being with
out enthusiasm in order to keep its
record straight" The letter writer,
who is afraid to sign his own name,
concludes his explosion thus:
ITO keep its record straight" Ell?
The Suns record for democracy is left
just about as straight as that Of a porch
climber or shell-game man for honesty.
That is just what was said about Mr..
Bryan when he embraced Parker and
the Wall street gang in 1904 to keep
his record straight. We would advise
in this connection reference to the
speech made by Tom Watson at the
populist state convention at Lincoln in
the fall of that yea in whics he told,
without mincing words, what he
thought Of Mr.. Bryan's abandonment
of his former allies. If WI recall cor
rectly, Watson in substance denounced
Mr.. Bryan as a Benedict Arnold, a
backslider, a deserter, a partisan who
cared more for party regularity than
for principle, and various other SINH
lar pet
II the Baltimore Sun supported
Bryan in 1895 to keep Its record
straight, did 1t do anything worse than
Mr.. Bryan did when, to keep his rec.
ord straight, he supported Goldbug
Parker after having hired a hall in
Chicago to denounce him publicly and
to deny that he was entitled to call
himself a democrat? 1t hardly be-
comes any B~ryanite to draw COMPARE
sons with "a porch climber or a she'll
game man."

Senator Tillman, in an interview in

has contributed his best effort to the

TEST FoR REAL LAW.
Features of the Recent TRAGEDY in
New York High Life"


New York High Life"
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The latest murder in New York high
life" lacks many of the sordid details
that made Harry Th1w's crime nauseating.
but the pernicious principle back Of it Is
the same familiar one. A husband, fancy
ing himself wronsed, assumes the preroga-
tive to punish by taking human life. In
the present case a defense of insanity will
be impossible. The character and ability
Of the murderer are such as to exclude
this nles. The crime was deliberate, and
most cold blooded, Only the "unwritten
law can save Captain Hams from capital
punishment.
The line is more distinctly drawn than
ever before. The murderer is no weak
degenerate. No possible excuse can be
found for his act. Yet 1t is by no means
certain that he will be convicted. A jury
and another were found that would not
consent to the punishment of Thaw. n
Captain Hams escapes It will be estab-
lished beyond any further doubt that even
in the most ultra-civilized city of America
murder Is no crime II the murderer de-
clares himself TO Ia been unhappy in
his domestic relations. The Hams trial
will be the most notable test of the "un-
written law" that America has yet seen.

how large a part Of the progress Of that
