When congress decides to spend many more millions annu- ally in the reclamation of swamp lands, the irrigation of arid lands and the permanent improvement of waterways the question of the unemployed will be largely solved in the United States. Let the government furnish work for the artisans, the day laborers and the professional men. "-Arkansas Democrat,
 Ths is sound and logical reas- oning, but hardly in keeping with the views of those great "philanthropists" who can not see any way to give ''remuner- ative" employment to the unem- ployed unless 1t has a jail sen- tence and the county roads at tached to 1t.

WILL FIGHT TILL DO0NSDAY

The shippers declare they will fight till doomsday before they will accept the increased rates announced by the railroads.
 That is a big order but 1t IS warranted by the situation. In some cases the rates may have beenforced too low but to multi tiply it by two and three, and on such commodities as baggine and ties, which so directly con- cern the south is going altogeth- CT too far in retaliatory rate making. The shipping interests of the state feel outraged at the exhorbitant raises that have been made in he rate, and it IS small wonder they should take such a firm stand in defense of their rights.

BETTER WORRY ABOUT 1908.

The Hon. Nick Longworth's speech at Sterling, Ill.,, in which he is alleged to have elected his exalted father-in-law to the pres idency again in 1916. is nightly agitating the Seffersonian bos- oms of some of the Chicago brethren. Not a few of them have reluctantly rushed into print to declare that it is the par amount issue of the campaign.
 Perhaps it is. but the World has been unable to share in their excitement. After breeding for three days over the Longworth assault upon republican institu- tions we have been unable to raise a solitary goose-pimple.
 If MT. Longworth, who is a kind, deuoted and indulgent son. in-law. thinks he can elect Mir. Roosevelt president again in 1916 we have no objection to his try ing, but we shall not begin to worry about it much before the 1st of December, 1915. For the present we are more concerned about 1908 than about 1916.
 Is Theodore Roosevelt to have a vote of confidence next month? Are the American people to in- dorse the Two Billion-Dollar Con- gress, the Big Stick, Government by Denunciation, One-Man Pow CT, Republican partnership with Protection, Privilege and Plutoc- racy, and all the evils, excesses and extravagances of a cowboy administration? If not. when are the Democratic campaign managers going to begin a wig orous and systematic presenta- tion of the issue The election is four weeks from to-day. New York World, Oct. '.
