pETTER PAY FOR SOLDIERS.

II is very much to DE hoped that
the bill increasing the pay of soldiers
in the regular army which the house
committee ION military affairs has
agreed TO report favorably, viii b.
enacted into law. The increase is not
great, when considered from the per
capita standpoint, but il will have the
effect of making the men who are al
ready in the service better satisfied,
aud it may attract new enlistments.
4 blanket increase is provided for in
tn2 bin, but enlisted men will, if the
measures become law. have an oppor-
tunity to further increase their nay.
Soldiers who qualify as marksmen
viii receive 81 per month additional;
as sharpshooters, SO per month, and as
expert rifiemen, s. per month. Second
class gunners in the artillery branch
Will receive 81 per month additional.
and first-class gunners IS per month.
Thus an incentive is offered to the
men to become better soldiers. 10 fit
themselves to be of greater service 10
their country in times when good SER
vice is needed. And the bill grants
many other privileges that are NOT
now peFpitted by the regulations.
This nation is big enough and rich
enough TO take frst-class care of the
men who serve it. The lot of the reg
ular army man is not, even under the
most favorable circumstances. an al
together happy one. The surprising
thing to US is not that there are so
few enlistments. but that there are so
many. There is hardly a private SOL
der in the army who couldn't earn
more money outside of the service
than in 1t. And. besides. he could es-
Jablish a home for himself.
Anything that tends to make life
pleasanter for the enlisted men. pro-
vided it is within the bounds of rea-
son. should be undertaken by con-
gress.

STICK TO THE FIGURES.

The bitter campaign of the New YORK
World against the nomination of Will
liam Jennings Bryan by the Denver
convention. can hardly fail TO have A
boomerang effect. The World has nut
out by thousands a pamphlet contain
ing what purport TO be political maps
Of the United States showing how
much the Democratic party has lost
through Mr.. Ryan's leadership. An
analysis Of the maps gives an idea Of
the unfair and crooked methods used
by the World. The first map shows the
political division of 1892
In the states allotted to the Demo-
Gratis and Populists in 1892 we find
Wyoming. Montana, Washington. Ore
gon and North Dakota. The facts are
that in 1892 the Republicans carried
Wyoming. Mont2na and Washington
absolutely. In North Dakota the cleo
toral vote was divided equally between
the Republicans and the Democrats. In
Oregon the Republicans secured three
electoral votes and the Populists one.
And il should not be forgotten that
there was i'm 1892 the greatest Demo-
cratic landslide the country has ever
known. The other maps are equally
inaccurate That is if the figures Civ
en- in the World tlmanac for 1908 are
correct. And we would very much
rather take the almanac figures as cor
rect than the maps, because the former
were prepared with reference TO moth
ing except accuracy. while the latter
are the outgrowth of the bitterest
malice.
The compiler of the pamphlet care
fully omits the map for 1904. In that

who acted as his particular servant a
pair of strong. heavily nailed army

The boy was delighted with the gift
and at once sat down and put the boots
on. They were the very first pair he
had ever had in his life. and for several
DAYS afterward he strutted prOudlv
about the camp with them.
But at the end of the week he ap-
peared as usual with bare feet, and the
boots tied round his neck.
.'Hellol" said his master. why don't
YOU wear your boots? Are they toe
small for you?"

year the Democrats the World loves
best were in absolute control. They
wrote their own platform, they nomi-
mated their own candidate. They were
going to lead the party out of the viii
derness of Organism and into the
promised land of oficialdom. Mark the
result. No candidate ever nominated
by the Democrats since the party was
founded. with perhaps one exception,
was ever as badly beaten as was Alton
B. Parker.
Parker lost Missouri, and he lost a
number of other states that Bryan had
carried by large majorities. Mckinley
bea. Bryan in 1896, with the New York
World, the Palmer and Buekner outfit,
and the most powerful influences in
the country at his back, by only 6O1. S54
votes out of total of more than 49,
500, 900. In 1900, with the same infiu-
ences. with another enormous corrup-
ton fund at the command of his party
organization, Mckinley received a plu-
rality of S4S. 100 votes over Bryan out
of a total of IL, 066,O56
We come now to the Parker cam
paign, the campaign that was to re-
deem the Democratic party, that was
10 enthrone again the only real, true.
honest Democrats. With as much
money in that one campaign as Bryan
had had in two. with the cordial sup
port of the New York World and all
the other newspapers that had bolted
Bryan, Alton B. Parker was defeated
by Roosevelt by the stupendous plu-
rality of 2,545,515 votes. Kindly re-
member those figures. Kindly remem-
Der. also, that the total number of
votes cast was less by nearly a million
votes tina the total in either 1896 or
1900.
The New York World and its friends
will say that the stay-at-home Bryan
men made it possible for Roosevelt to
defeat Parker by only a few thousand
votes less than three times as great
plurality as Mckinley had over Bryan
in 1900. But if that million of stay-at-
homes was made up entirely of Bryan
men, and if every one of them had
marched to the polls and voted for
Parker, Roosevelt would still have won
by a far greater plurality than Nc
Kinley received in 1900.
The figures are all against the New
York World in its campaign Nor can
it manufacture figures or fake maps
fast enough to deceive the public. It
cannot get away from the comparison
between 1896 and 1900. and 1904. The
memory of the people is longer lived
than that. We are sorry the New York
World has started such fight on Mr..
Bryan. 1t mus know that at this late
day even the fairest fight on the Ne
braskan can avail nothing. The World
is only placing itself again i'm the posi-
ton it occupied in 1896 and in 1900 It
is saying things that will make impos-
sible its support of the Democratic
ticket this year.
The Herald would like to see the
Democrats get together. We believe If
they do get together they will win a
great victory next November. If he
lives, William Jennings Bryan will be
the nominee of the Denver convention
And he is so much better than any
man the Republicans can name that
every Democrat and every indepen-
dent voter in the land should line up
behind him.
