fair minded man must realize when ne con-
siders my attitude toward my own party all
now a matter of mmutable record that 1t 10

sonafly and officially have had the opportunity
of knowing many things concerning Mr.. arr
that were not a matter of general knowledge
and with keen interest ! have watched MS
largo share in the conduct of our national ar
fairs in very recent years. His excellence as
federal Judge in Cincinnati is something NOT
to be underestimate oVeremPhasized' TOT
should he come TO the Presidential char the
qualities which made him judge of high abIl-
ity, which know him TO have been, will be the
most needfu to him as President of the United
States. His high ideals OF honesty and OF rea-
tive justice, his great capacity for severe LABOR
and his humorous wisdom in the face OF the
serious problem attributes equally valuable
and commendatory to a people seeking him IN
whom they may repose the trust OF their COL
ieotive interests while they turn their Increased
attention to their pressing individual demands.

CHILDISH.

Nothing more childish than the refusal o.
the horse owners 10 race their horses AT the
county fairs while Governor Hughes is present,
or even upon days when he is present, can be
imagined What can they expect to accomplish
by such a silly exhibition of bad temper, bad
manners and Indifference 10 their obligation to
the spectators at fairs? Surely not to hurt the
Governor, for there can hardly be any question
about how their conduct affects the people who
are attending the fairs and who cannot fail
10 feel disguised with exhibitors who, TO vent
their spite, try to spoil the fair for the day
And the rest of the state is laughing at them.
The jefferson County Fair management is 10
be commended for taking firm stand with the
horse owners. If they refuse to live up to their
contracts and race according to schedule on the
days when the Governor visits the fair they
should be barred for the rest Of the fair days
and complaint should he made 10 the national
body which has control of trottng races No
fair management should tolerate the disappoinr
ment Of its patrons by exhibitors INDUCING in
childish SulkS.

A CONTEST IN THRIFT

There seems to be active rivalry among the
proud and ancient commemorative Of North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia as to
which Of them shall head the list as the least
lavish contributor to the Bryan campaign fund.
The patriotic Democrats of those states are ac
crstOmed TO give wisely, if not too we'll and one
community has little advantage over the others
in the elaboration with which 1t considers Il
cash investment for the benefit Of "the Peoples
Cause The ire OF The Houston Post" which
has crude Western notions about whooping it
up for the Old Flag and the postOffices, has been
aroused by the overconseryatism of the three
Atlantic seaboard states, and it says tarty:
Stinginess appears to be somewhat cOnta
cfous. South Carolina is bounded by North
Carolina and Georgia North Carolina has con-
tributed So to the campaign fund. and have
yet TO hear that Georgia has contributed cent.
North Carolina and South Carolina are still
quarreIIing over the credit to be allotted for the
famous hen and gander rattle The editor Of
1.-The Charlotte Observer furnished the hen
and the gander. and the editor of The Charles
ton News and Courier auctiOned them off
Both now claim recognition for their efforts in
firing the Carolina heart and prying open the
Carolina wallet. We do not think 1t fair, how
ever for THE News and Courier" just because
it has recently collected few dollars of real
charleston money, TO intimate that in North
Carolina niggardliness has eaten out the vitas
OF patriotism. Says our Charleston friend:
The total resources of the 29S state and saw
ings banks in North Carolina at the close of
business on July Is were $45.3665 $50. Our North
Carolina neighbors. it will be seen, very
thrifty and prosperous people, but have
noted that they contributing very little to

lima banks hold deposits subject to check and
otherwise. amounting to $29.931.192 and yet

Henry Watterson's committee of advisement.
Such slur is ;ndeservcd. The North Caro-
linians are probably only waiting until the
crops are moved" Then they will turn thoir
money loose in golden flood. But in South
Carolina the exigencies Of crop moving" seem
also to have initiated against sending large
drafts 10 Democratic headquarters in New York
and Chicago. The disputants should calm them
selves. If need be, they can call In Treasurer

LNTERPRETTNG TERWONT.

The two Democratic newspapers in this part
of the country which are most actively support
ing the new Bryan" differ radically in their
Interpretation of the result of the election in
Vermont. The Philadelphia Record" tries to
cheer itself 10y demonstrating that the new
Bryanism' did not fare much worse in Yer
mont than did Parkerism in 1904. while it
actually Jared better than did the odd Bryan
ism in 1896. Our Philadelphia contemporary
rightly says that the issues raised in this cam
paisn have not created as much excitement as
did the issues raised in 1896. 1900 1904. aud
il extracts what comfort It can from the fact
that, no particular pressure having been put
on the voting public in Vermont, fewer Re
publicans went 10 the polls this year, well
as fewer Democrats. The falling off in the
Republican vote was $50 per cent and the
falling of in the Democratic vote WAS 3.94 per
cent THE Record" therefore says:
In Vermont the Democrats have come nearer
10 holding their than the Republicans. so
that while the result gives no definite indication
of November il is less unfaVorable TO the Dem
ocrats than 10 the Republicans
We cannot see much reason for Democratic
satisfaction with that showing Mr.. Roosevelt
was elected President four years ago by en-
unprecedented popular plurality. Ex-Judge
Parker was beaten almost decisively as
Horace Greeley. Mr.. Bryan has now under
taken TO make good the losses suffered in the
1904 contest. He must gain everywhere very
heavily over The Parker vote to bring MIN
within striking distance of his opponent. He
must eectrify the country if he wants TO up
set the equilibrium established in national poll
tics by three successive Republican victories.
II will do him no good at all if he only suf-
fers slightly smaller losses at the polls than
his opponent He cannot afford any shrnkage
whatever of the emaciated Parker vote. He
mas 10 gain . per cent TO wipe out the losing
margin Of 1904. In the Vermont election the
relative Democratic gain was 195 per cent. \
similar relative gain throughout the country In
November would leave Mr.. Bryan beaten al
most as badly Parker and Greeley were.
We think that 1.-The New York World" shows
more worldly wisdom when in the interest Of
peo- Organism it dismisses the result in Yer

A WOMAN'S HEROISM.
Tho Baltimore Sun.


History has presented few examples of greater
heroism than that Of Mrs. 5. ]. Rookie, the tele-
phone operator of Folsom. n. NJ. who, when warned
by resident Of the hills 10 fee for her life from
the food speeding TO enguf the valley, rejected the
opportunity to herself and employed the hour
that interviewed between the warning received and
her own death by drowning In calling up sub
scribcrs by telephone and acquainting them of
their danger. More than forty families have al
ready acknowledged their lives saved through the
magnificent courage of one frail woman. whose
lifeless body with the telephone headpiece still
adjusted TO her ears, was found twelve miles down
the canyon
