MONDAY, JULY ls. 1908.
QUOTING CLEVELAND.

Tn this age of brain-storming poii- ties and statesmanship it Is we'll to oe- casionalIy hark back to Mir. cIeveland's 's Ideas and ideals as shown fin his pub lie utterances. Not very long ago in 3 letter to The New York Times he said:
 When we consider the patronage of this great office. the allurements of place once gained. and. more than all, the availability party finds in an in- cumbent whom a horde of oficeholders and fostered by the hope of favors vet 10 come, stand ready to aid with money Rnd trained political service. we recoR- nize in the. eligibility Of the president for reelection q most serious danger to that calm. deliberate action which pIe.'
 Thus spoke a man who had yielded power in a way to reflect credit on himself and on the high ofice he held. as well as on the people who elevated him to place and power. During the last few years of his life he had ann pie opportunity to observe the dangers Of ons-man government, and of the peril to the country when a president of the United States uses his utmost endeavors to build up and perpetuate machine to keep his party in power. Even though Roosevelt was under q pledge not to again be a candidate and we've no doubt that he regretted having thus bound himself--it did not hinder him from using the powers of his oflce to insure the succession to a man of his own choice. The Butte In- ter-Mountain. a Republican paper. says ''there is something patriarchal in the phraseoIogy. It smacks of other days The worId--the American world, anyway-is just coming to see cleve- land, the man, as predistinguished from Cleveland. the statesman. Public ex- Sgency sometimes required him to de- part from his ideals; but 1t gets clear. now, that his notions of the meaning and purpose of this republic were most salutary.''

THE RADICAL WEST.

Beth Parties win Have To Contend
 With Advanced Ideas.
 Denver Special to New York Evening
 Governor Sheldon's success as Gov ernor of Nebraska, which is trusted to carry the Taft ticket through at all hazards. is popularly ascribed 10 his radical program. including two-eent and other anti-corporation measures. The Indiana Republicans at Chicago resented the notion that Governor Han ley and hiS sssoeia1es Wese ,ISS movea ,h ey lent their support to the LaFollette plank In the Taft convention. It Is asserted in justification of that course that Indiana had become almost as radical as Wisconsin. and that the Governor dared not disregard known popular wishes.
 In short. the West asks if the ex- periences of Massachusetts with the of the New York delegation on the CoInpers plank do not indicate that radicalism Is nation wide in Its spread, even though exhibiting the most acute forna In this meridian.
 The Oklahoma boomers here so so far as to express the hope that New York will not support Bryan. They say its politics are so objectionable that they prefer to have their candt. date elected. as they feel sure he can he. without obligation to the capital istic bosses there.
 The development Of popular Dri- maries trots along with this move. ment. The delegates assembled herA this year were chosen for Bryan with less intervention of caucus and con- ventlon and leaders than was the oasc eight years ago. when he last received a Democratic nomination. Some of the Southern States made the issue one of direct primary. The same tendency Is spreading in the Republican Party. it would not be a rash prophet who would foresee the day when nation. in May. might decide the candidates of the Republican Party. and Q sim. ilsr ona a few weeks later thoRe ct the Democratic. and then the Novem- ber election would offer a choice be- tween the kwo sets thus chosen. It would be comparatively short ster from present conditions to such an arrangement. Wisconsin chose its del- eGates to the Republican convention in this way. The popular primary is bringing a different type of public men to the front, and 1t will result :n a different style of legislation, It iS a part of the tide of radscalism
 Is Bryan likely to be elected? Throw away your almanac figures ot old tab ulations of election returns, and all other ancient records, and come out make guess as to how radical 1t has become. And Taft, running on the Roosevelt platform. 1t should he rec called is not Knox or Cannon or Fair- banks Taft stands for q moderate servative a man as 1t Is judicious to run now. Poor old Mark Hanna. if he were living. would not be much of d vote getter in this campaign, at least as candidate. Fairbanks Is fortu- nate to have taken his defeat at Cht- cago. Bryan wants to be conservative enough to get back the old Democracy nt the East in his last final struggle. but his friends are reminding him that there is Debs and probably HisRen, and surely Watson. and choice aS- sortment of radicals already in the deld who will rejoice at every move he makes towards conservatism.

NO BLACKBERRY WINE.

 Can be Made in The State of Georgia Thomasville Special
 Thomasvilie's housewives have been very much troubled of late. 1t has been the custom of many to put up a lot of blackberry wine every sum sum ner for medicinal as well as other purposes, and now they are told that the prohibmition law does not allow the manufacture of any sort Of wine. Having nothing to do with the making of the law, and not seeing why wo- man should be obliged to Keep iaW' anyway if she doesn't want to, they fail to see why they can't make wine out of the backberries they have bought and paid for as well as jam.
 What Is to become of the wine ale ready made is a question no mere man can answer. and the man wno tries to investigate 1t will probably need sympathy before he gets through with his investigation.

 Mukden cable reports that evidence has been obtained from official sources of the operation of a system by which Japanese commerce in Manchuria has secured general exemption from inland taxes China, which was buildozed into giving up these concessions. has been keeping the matter a secret for fear of reprisals from the other coun- tries which have continued to pay the with the entire Japanese policy in Man chura. The open door" of which we have heard so much has swung for Japanese trade. and wherever 1t was possible to do so. without causing trouble. 1t has been slammed in the face of other nations which endeav- ored to do business in Manch uria. So many of these tricks of tricky nation are coming to light that there is some. thing more than a possibility that the rest of the world may yet unite on q trade policy in the far East that VIII leave Japan in the same position in which that country now seeks to place the rest of the world.

 While walking in the suburban dis tricts today with a male friend. Mics Nettle Williams, of Pittsburs, was the object of an unusual attack. She WOW a hat with bird of brilliant pluma go as an ornament. Suddenly her head became encircled by half dozen black birds, which pecked at the bird in her hat, tearing out the bright colored feathers with their bealks.
 The blackbirds even flew in her face and lacerated the skin with their bills. Tearing the hat from her head, Miss Williams threw 1t on the ground. Her escort was obliged to use his coat to beat the birds of. q.
