DEMOCRATIC HELP.

Governor Albert 3. CumminS was
elected to the United States senate by
the legislature of Iowa to succeed the
late Senator Allison. In his speech of
acceptance Mr.. Cummlns said:
This somewhat personal phase of
the occasion would not be complete
without a word to the men of the
democratic party with whom l have
associated in public affairs. l can not
leave the office | have held for nearly
seven years without thanking them
most heartily for their patriotic and
efficient assistance in the legislation
that has been adopted in this period of
stress and storm. To them, with like
pleasure. I record a promise which
shall be sacredly kept l will hold the
welfare of my country and my state
high above every other consideration,
and will follow truth and justice as
they appear to me, wherever they may
lead the way"
1t is noteworthy that all republican
statesmen who move along reformed
lines find it necessary to lean very
heavily on democratic support. Not all
of these, however, have made public
Acknowledgement of the debt they owe
to democrats.

THE RIGHT OF POLITICAL Sane
TUARY.

Russia is asking the United States
to give up political refugees to be
executed as criminals. This is con-
trary to all American traditions and
to the spirit of civilization.
The right of sanctuary, first con-
nected with religion and then with
human freedom, is one of the hottest
sentiments. 1t has been iealouslv
guarded by Anglo Saxon nations. in
spite of the growing horror with which
the violence of political conspirators
Is regarded. Fenian massacres and
outrages in England and the assassi-
nation of presidents in the United
states have weakened this sentiment
without destroying it,.
England still remains with Switz-
erland an asylum even for criminals
whose acts were inspired by Just or
perverted patriotic sentiments The
United States has remained so under
all temptation of sympathy and pain
full experience until now. If the Rus
sian Interpretation of the recent ex-
tradition between the United States
and that country in the American
courts prevail, we shall set our re-
publican standard of personal, intel
lectual and political freedom below
that of the British monarchy.

STATESMAN AND POLITICIAN.


a politician is a poor creature unless
he be something of a statesman. A
statesman will not go far practically
unless he be a bit of a politician. The
most useful public men combine the
two. The best hope of Taft is that he
is both.
Governor Hughes of New York is
not a good politician in the usual
sense and some have, doubted the per
manence of his political usefulness
But he may prove strong enough to
play The political game in the master
full way of Grover cleveland. Repre-
sentative Burton of Ohio seems to be
better example of a statesman limit
ed in success and usefulness by lack
of the politicians instinct and power.
Burton is talented, energetic. popular
high minded, ambitious. His congress
Sional career has given him local
strength and national prominence. He
has seemed to be on the way to greater
station. If the house could break
away from Cannon it would choose him
for speaker If the people of Ohio could
exercise free choice they would make
him senator. If Taft could follow his
l''l NtlloiI b6lll lie NOuiu nave burton
in his cabinet. Yet Burton seems like
ly to miss all.
His chances for the SpeakerShip were
never serious. But Taft offered him the
treasury. giving him time enough to
answer 50 that he might try for the
SenatorShip first. The only condition
was that he should not drag Taft into
a senatorial contest in which his
brother was a candidate.
Nobody can doubt that Mr.. Burton
observed himself this obviously proper
condition. But Ohio is a state where
the political game is played to the
limit and Burton was not tactful
enough TO manage or strong enough
10 dominate his supporters. In a short
time the state rung with the story that
the whole federal patronage was be-
mind Burton and that he was in a
combination with Foraker to beat Chas
Taft.
This put him in position of using
IaftS offer to beat his brother per
haps putting Foraker into the, senate
and taking the treasury himself. Prob
ablN the story was untrue, but it COM
PEELED Judge Taft to withdraw his offer
ana leave Burton in the lurch.

FOR BIGGER HOMESTEADS.

The new homestead bill, which has
been introduced by Representative
Mondell of Wyoming, will be of more
value to Wyoming and Colorado than
to this state. although there are places
in Washington, where, if the bill were
law, vacant land now lying Idle
would be taken up and reduced to
cultivation.
The bill increases the size of home
steads from 100 acres to 500, but only
of arid land in places where there is
no probability of placing it under ir-
rigation The purpose, clear on the
face is, by increasing the size of arid
land homesteads to induce the taking
up of such land and the reduction of
it to cultivation by the best methods
of dry land farming. Where it would
be almost impossible on such land, to
makes a livelihood on a single quarter
section of land, on a farm of double
the size it might be possible TO make
a fair return for the work done and
capital invested.
There is considerable land, now
classed as desert, on which, with high
cultivation and even with a very limit
ed rainfall, it is possible to raise crops
which would be profitable, if sufficient
land were under cultivation. 1t re TulreS
little more investment in plant to raise
a crop on 800 acres than would be
necessary to raise a crop on $50 acres.
while, of course, the gross returns
would be twice as great.
Under proper restrictions, and the
l. 20 Il ho
sound policy to encourage the taking
up of homesteads of semi-arid lands
by doubling the area of each claim, as
is proposed. There seem to be- few
against the Mondell bill
