In these states ordinary political motives
do not influence the electorate. They are DEM
ocratic not from conviction but from habit.
For them, as THE Charleston News and Cour-
ier" put it concisely the other day, Any sort
"of q Democratic candidate on any sort
''of Democratic platform would be preferable
ito any sort of a candidate on Republican
platform" The label is everything. the man
and the principles nothing. Giving Bryan and
Kern this automatic Southern Representations
they would still lack 115 votes of a majority
In the Electoral College. How is this deficit to
be made up? Kentucky and Missouri may be
classed as probably Democratic states Ken
lucky voted for Bryan In 1900 and Parker IN
1904 Missouri voted for Bryan in 1896 and
1900 but baked four years ago at voting for
Parker These states have thirteen and
eighteen electoral votes. respectively. If they
are carried for the Democratic nominees this
year the Democratic total would advance to
15S.
There are still eighty-four votes to be capt
ured The Bryan managers have evidently
abandoned the East as a field for missionary
effort They have little hope of winning New
York New Jersey Delaware. Maryland or West
Virginia. West of the Alleghanies and north of
the Ohio lies a now compact stretch Of Repub-
lican territory. At what point can It's soil
darity be broken? Nevada is generally Demo
cratic in state elections But in all the other
states Republcanism has gained strength, no.
ticeably in the last decade. The Democratic
organization in this region has been steadily
declining in efficiency. 1t has forfeited public
confidence. and, though rich in leaders ten or
twenty years ago. 1t possesses to-day no chiefs
and spokesmen worth mentioning outside Mr.
BRYAN and Governor John A. Johnson.
What Western states can be won for the
Democratic ticket? Surely not Ohio, Illinois.
Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas. the Da-
kotas Wisconsin, California, Oregon. wash
ington. or any of the mountain states, except
possibly Montana and Nevada. Mr.. Bryan
doubtless hopes to carry Nebraska, and Mr..
Kern will do his best to carry Indiana. But
each has the odds strongly against him. Even
supposfng that Indiana, Nebraska, Montana
and Nevada were lost to the Republicans, there
would still be no Democratic majority In the
Electoral College. These states have only
twenty-nine votes, and fifty-five votes more
would be needed. To secure these ffty-fve
votes Illinois would have to be captured, with
Colorado Iowa and Kansas. In short nothing
less than a complete overtnrn of the equlllb
rum of Western politics will be necessary to
carry Mr.. Bryan into the White House. 1t is
to prevent the possibility Of such reversal that
Republican effort should be freely expended
oyer this wide area. The Middle West and
Far West should be fortified and solidiied in
their Republicansm. and for that reason an
other decisive Republican victory should be
the aim Of all Republicans

REORGANIZATION AT ROME.

Much interest was recently aroused, especially
in the countries concerned. by the announce
ment that the United States the United hlne
dom. Canada. Newfoundland, Gibraltar. Hoi
land and Luxembourg would after November
next no longer be regarded by the Roman Cath-
olic Church as parties infadefu'',. or MISSION
arv countries. and would be withdrawn from
the exclusive Jurisdiction of the Congregation
de Propa ganda Eide and be placed under the
ordinary and general Jurisdiction Of the Church,
the same as the so-called Catholic countries OF
the world That does not mean, Of course, tnat
tbo countries in question are considered to have
been converted to Catholicism, but that the
Catholic Church enjoys in them sumclen'
measure of freedom and OF established grown
and PROSPERITY to assure its status on announcer
than missionary basis.
The announcement has, however, much
more profound significance than mere change
in the ecclesiastical status OF half dozeh
countries. II marks a radical and almost revo-
lutionary change in the constitution or IN tne
working organization of the Roman Cathonc
Church itself. or at least is a part or naI

These changes seem to have been prompted
in nsrt bv external considerations. but also In
pgrt and pretty largely by considerations OF
domestic and internal economy. Their effects
cannot be confidently predicted, at least In de-
fail but it seems reasonable to expect that
they will result In more methodical ana busl-
nesslike administration within the vatican

authority of the Pope, and, on the other hand,
in q lessening Of the Italian influence In the

the employment Of international juries for jud2-
ing games had not been successful in former

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the unhappy

to all and will rise and remain entirely above
any suspicion of unfairness. One of the great
values of such meetings is in their cultiva-

THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

Tne comment OF some Gays ago upon tne
magnitude Of the Olympic games in London is
more than justified The contests at Shepherds
Bush are by far the greatest, in number and
nance Of contestants, which have been held in
modaan times. Perhaps we might safely say
t1af they are the greatest ever held. for there
% reason for doubling whether the ancient
Ckeek games IN Ellis equalled these In num-
bers, a they certainly did not in the ethnic
and geographic range from which the contest
ants were drawn. At the first revival Of the
Olympic games at Athens. a dozen years ago,
under the direction OF Baron de Coubertin,
there were only few more than hundred con-
ketants, from nine or ten countries. But 1T was
determined thereafter to hold the games every
four years, each time in new place In 1900
they were held In Paris, but aroused little in
terest save among Americans who, by the
vuy. won most Of the contests. In 1904 they
were held at st. Louis, few countries were rep
resented and Americans won nearly everything.
An extra set Of games WIS held at Athens
again In 1906. and once more the Americans
were die chief winners IT was then decided
60 hold Olympic games at Athens on every
fourth year thereafter, so that this years meet
