Sherman Notified at Last.
Takes a Shot at BRYAN.

Utica, N. Y, Aug. Is. The
last formal ceremony attending
the official launching of the Re.
publican national ticket of 1908
was held here today, when Rep
resentative James Schoolcraft
Sherman was rendered and ac-
cepted the nomination of his
party for Vice President. In ac-
cepting he subscribed heartily,
he declared, to the declaration of
principles adopted at the Chi
cago convention in June, to the
every utterance of Secretary
Taft In his Cincinnati speech,
and to the policies of President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Sherman assert.
ed that the approval of the Roose-
welt administration was the real
issue of the campaign about 10
be undertaken. Mr.. Bryan's 3
question, "Shall the people
rule?" was declared to be no is-
sue at all. "Surely the people
shall rule" Mr.. Sherman said ,
"surely they have ruled; surely
they do rule. Shame on the
candidate who insults the Ameri
can people by suggestion or dec.
laration that a majority of its
electoral is venal."

Eureka, CAL, Aug. 1S.-Three
sharp earthquake shocks, which

The One Great Issue.

When Colonel Henry Waiter
son declared that the real issue
of the national campaign this
year would be the people

spoke with great wisdom and
foresight. Indeed, the action of
the Republican National Conven.
ton has made it the issue that
will tower above all other ques-
tons of the campaign. Ever
since the shocking revelations in
the New York insurance investi-
CATION there has been among all
classes of people a strong and
growing demand that the sources
of the great campaign funds
gathered by national committees
shall be made known to the pub
lie. In this connection the Buff
falo Courier says:
The leaders of both parties
have nominally supported the
proposition. But when the Chi

Times Democrat commenting on
the matter says among other
things:
1t is fortunate for New York that
the courts found a way to overcome
the opposition of Mcclellan and to
bring out all of the facts of the cleo
ton, and that the election laws OF that
State provide a tribunal by which this
matter could be settled. The failure
of the attempt to secure an investiga-
ton of the second primary in this city
is in marked contrast with the Hearst
case in New York, where the Opposi-
ton of the highest officials and the
great political leaders and their part
les was unable to prevent the investi-
CATION. The action taken will have a
splendid political effect. 1t announces
to the world that the courts stand
ready to act and that no tainted Or
suspected election will be allowed to
pass unchallenged or uncontested, and
that there is a way to expose and
undo all election frauds. 1t is to be
regretted that Louisiana primaries
and elections are not afforded similar
protection. In the Hearst contest the
evidence upon which the demand a
made for a reopening of the ballot
boxes was trifing as compared with
the fraudulent and alphabetical poll
lists and the forged returns made pub
lie in New Orleans and Jefferson as
| the basis of a contest for Office. Here
the grand jury got as far as opening
the ballot boxes, to find thorough
confirmation of the charges of irregu-
larities and fraud; but the investiga-
ton stopped at this point. The frauds
we're not investigated or exposed, the
injustice done was not righted and
the men guilty of these frauds were
not indicted Dr. punished.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS CITY,
KANSAS

The formation Of an anti sa
loon league in this parish and the
passing of petitions both for and
against calling an election on the
question Of prohibition has
brought the subject actively be-
fore the people For which rea
son the following statement of
conditions in Kansas City. Kan
sas, under prohibition, appearing
in the July number of The
World To Day." a magazine pub
lished in Chicago. will prove in.
t~eresting:
A stock argument with those en-
gagged in the liquor traffic and allied
trades is the damage to municipal
prosperity inevitable upon the adop-
ton of the prohibitory law. Kansas
City, after twenty two months OF its
cNIOTCculcut, duOIuo o AOON
ton of the fallacy of such assertions.
The bankers of Kansas City. Kan
sas, estimate that the city is saving
two and q half million dollars an
nually under the new regime. De-
posts have increased t~hirty-five per
cent in the twenty-five months, and
postofice receipts eighteen per cent
in the year following the closing OF
the saloons. A large number OF new
buildings have been erected, and
twenty-seven new factories have been
established. City improvements are
increasing. The assessed valuation
of taxable property is 1856, $40 greater
than in 1906, and yet last year city
taxes were reduced twenty cents on
500 of assessed valuation. Another
evidence of prosperity is the reduction
of the bonded indebtedness by $780, OO
in 1907. So much for the material
well.being; that the moral status is
improved goes without saying.
Drunkenness has decreased, although
Kansas City, Missouri, with no pro-
hibition law, is within easy reach.
There is less crime and less poverty,
although the population is larger by
1000. There is no gain-saying facts
such as these.

preliminary canvass, and that OF
the Des Moines Times one of the
most influential Cummins papers
in Iowa has greatly worried the
Taft managers. Their worry
has since been increased by the
report that the Indianapolis
News which is conducted by a
brother.in.l law of Vice President
Fairbanks may join the boilers,
because it is we'll known that
Indiana will be a doubtful State
in this years campaign.
1t is predicted that when the
Denver convention completes its
work the Republican newspapers
in the West that will bolt the
Taft Sherman ticket and the
platform on which it was nomi'
mated will be surprisingly nu-
nlerous, hence the Taft men are
rather frank in saying that they
would have preferred either Sen
ator Deliver, or Gov. Cummins
for Vice. president as either one
of the Iowa men could have
made a strong campaign in the
West where nearly all of the
fighting this year will be done.
In the meantime considerable
disappointment is expressed be-
cause the anti Bryan Democrats
are showing a remarkable change
of front. They are saying now
that after all, especially in view
of the contention in respect to
the Republican platform. its
omissions and admissions, that
Bryan is the strongest man. It
appears that the 'radicalism" of
the Nebraskan is not regarded
as so much of a menace as it was
a few months ago, and many of
the Democrats of the ''conserv-
tive" element go so far as to pre-
dict that in many States he will
prove a stronger candidate than
he was either in 1896 or 1900,
and that there will be a smaller
number of Democratic boilers
this year than at any time since
the last Cleveland campaign.

WOMEN AND THE SCHOOLS.

WOMEN AND THE SCHOOLS.
The proposition to give women
tile right to vote for school direc-
tors seems to have very little
chance of favorable action by the
Legislature, and yet the minority
rep0ft on the Senate bilrby Sen
ators Barrett, Estopinal, McVea
and Liable. which follows, GER
tainly places the matter in q
strong and able and ought to be
convincing way:
Educational questions are essential
~ home questions, and as such the
average woman is better qualified to
decide what is best for the child than
is the average man.. Justice and ex-
pediency both dictate that it IS the
mothers right and should be her
privilege to determine to some extent
who the officials will be in control apd
command Of the teachers-for upon
the character and ability of the teach
or rests largely the development and
character of the child.
We believe that the trained intelli-
gepce OF the 5000 women teachers OF
the State can not but be OF benefit in
raising the standards of education If
their opinions are allowed to be ex-
pressed in common with the other men
and women OF the State upon the fit
ness of those qualified to serve on
school boards, and in this belief we
are sustained by the opinion of the
honorable State Superintendent of
Public Education.
School suffrage for women is no
experiment. In thirty-two States OF
the Union this privilege is accorded,
and statistics prove that whatever
women vote on school questions the
effects are most salutary.
On the testimony of the State Sup
erintendent of Public Education we
q say that the right for women to
vote to tax themselves, a right con.
ferred by the Constitution of 1898. has
proven of inestimable value in ad.
vancing the school facilities of the
State, and, therefore, we believe this
further power to assist in creating
school conditions can not but prove
Of value.

dence that the controlling forces
in the Republican party insist
upon continuing to conceal the
sources from which the millions
of money come for their use in
national elections. 1t is con-
vincing evidence that the Repub-
lican party is the party of the

was the bold challenge of the

vention of the Democracy at

DEMOCRATS PREPARE
FOR CONVENTION

New York up to the time that the
anti-Roosevlet element in the conven-
ton discovered and nominated him.
The Sherman nomination seems to
make it encumbent upon the demo-
cratic managers to choose their can
didate for president from one ct
the three states of the middle West
OHIO, Indiana or Illinois.
Ohio offers no vice-presidential tim
ber since Judge Harmon has ac-
eepted the gubernatorial nomination.
Kern in Indiana and Rainey OF Ill
inois, are fit subjects for serious con-
sideration.
Rainey too has been lifelong
democrat, repres antatiVe in cong
ress for thre terms. During the last
session OF the Fifty-ninth and the
first session of the Sixt eth congr>ss
he was particularly active in forcing
discussion OF the tariff and Of trusts
upon a hostile and unwilling house,
His speeches not only sound well, but
read we'll, and his devotion to duty
was manifested by his almost contln-
ual attendance upon the sessions.
Neither of these men is rich. And
it is interesting to note in the midst
of the political discussion here in the
middle West that there is no longer
any talk of selecting a candidatee for
second place because of the size Of
his barrel Both factions of the dem
ocratic party have had a meloncho' y
experience with speculation of that
sore. In 1896 the ticket was weighted
down with rich man at the end,
but the campaign fund did not prof
thereby. In 1904 the reactionaries un-
der the leadership OF the New York
crowd who ought to be shrewd in
money matters, picked out Henry Cas-
saWay Davis for the single reason that
he was a ulti-millionaire and could
be expected to contribute lavishly to
the campaign fund. The figures of
| Mr.. Davis contribution were quite as
disappointing as the figures of Judge
| Parker's vote. This year We will seek
for brains rather than bcodle to car
| ry the democratic ticket to the sue
. cess which today seems assured
