TO call these men taNeaters and every
body else taxpayers is to make an alb
surd and offensive division OF the people.
All are taxpayers. Our manufacturing
and other business interests are heavy
taxpaycrs The greater their prosperity
the larger their tax bills. Their money
helps materially TO make the mare go.
The farmers would not t-netit by the
crippling or the breaking down OF the
manufacturing interests Of the country.
Nor DO the manufacturing interests bene-
lit when crops fail. or prices for farm
products are low. An injury to the one
is an injury to the other. The old saying.
that we are all III the same boat, is
strictly true. And the individual who
rocks the boat. be lie manufacturer, or
farmer. or candidate seeking votes, is
guilty al least of folly.
Nj. Bryan is not well employed in
raying interests against interests in this
fashion. The tariff should he revised.
If the farmer is being taxed too heavily
his burden should be lightened There
are many duties which should he low

is important that all the mills and the
mines be kept open and running on full
time. not only that capital should be re-

keep their jobs and be assured OF good
living. Mr.. Bryan undertakes the intelli-
ehnce and the spirit of the farmer in the

Gov. Hughes and the Stump.

There is call for Gov. Hughes from
the west. But will he be able to go? He
has big task at home. The situation is
difficult for him. His opponent Is an at
tractive young man assured of Il machine
support while he himself is threatened
with machine inertia. 1t is true the
Inachinists on his side are pledging sup
port. Chairman Woodruff says he will
DO his best, and Mr.. Barnes of Albany,
through his newspaper, calls on all his
followers to get in line and get busy. But
so much was said against the governor
before the nomination by the operators
of the machine that the effect Of it will
not be easily dissipated. The machnists
have made their way hard one to travel,
and unless they make extraordinary
exertions they cannot make progress.
Gov. Johnson OF Minnesota is another
man lost to the national field as a stumper
by reason of denomination. II had been
planned to star him in all the debatable
states. and he was quite taken with the
arrangement. But, upon second thought,
the BTyanites decided TO run him for
governor again, in effort to clinch
Minnesota. The result is that he must
give nearly all, II not all, OF his time 10
his own campaign. The republican nom
inee is a stronger man than he opposed
in either Of his other races, and he must
exert himself at home.
Gov. Hughes should take no chances.
The west, or any other section, would
give him large audiences. His speech at
Youngstown. Ohio, has been so much com
pimented for its force there is a general
desire to hear him. Without making
pretensions to oratory. he has become
within the past few months famous for
his power over popular audiences 1t
would be a lesson in stamping effects,
indeed, if this clear-headed and close
thinking lawyer. sober but strong of ex-
precision. could bc pitted face to face
against Mr.. Bryan.
But New York Is important to the re
pdbHcans above the states to which Gov.
hughes is invited He should take the

lie should canvass the state thoroughly
He is the issue there. When he speaks
the voters listen. He is not before them
Tor entertainments sake, but as their
servant, giving account of what he
mas done in their name, and what, with
their continued favor, he will do in the
next few years. This gives him an ad-
vantage before New York audiences over
all other speakers.
And in speaking for the state ticket
which he heads Gov. Hughes will be
speaking as we'll for the national ticket
of his party. He indorses all the policies
Endorsed at Chicago, and wants Taft and
Sherman elected. The platform upon
which Judge Taft is standing would have
answered for him had he been his party's
nominee for President So that Gov
Hughes on the New York stump will be
pleading for the national well as for
the state ticket.

The Aeroplane Tragedy.

The fall OF the aeroplano the death of
Lieut.. Thomas l.. SeIfriise and the seri-
ous injury OF Orville Wright cause keen
sorrow wherever in the world tile news
y heard. 1t is particularly shock to
Washington. The aviator was known TO
most of the People of the city and his
brave companion was known to many.
The aeroplane had become u familiar OBJ
ject 10 the thousands of persons who
watched its flights at Fort Niger and to
other thousands who studied the pictures
of the machine, read in the Washington
Papers accounts of its performances and
talked with neishbors who had been spec
tators at the trials. Thus, the tragedy
comes closer home 10 Washington than
20 any other city.
accounts of the aeroplane flights at
Fort Myer have been published wherever
Il newspaper is printed, and the matter
has been read with interest wherever Deo-
pie read. Because of the appeal which
air navigation makes to mans magma
ton, and because air navigation has been
Il human fancy and human romance for
countless ages, these flight voyages OF
Wilbur and Orville Wright, and of the
latter in particular, have arrested the
worlds attention as experiments in no
other domain OF mechanics could.
The death of Lieut.. Selfridse is pteous.
II brings poignant grief to his family,
sorrow to his friends and regret to every
body else. The accident deprives the
army of an officer Of initiative, calm cour-
age. high intelligence and all the merits
which make an officer fit for command.
His friends must feel some satisfaction
in the thought that he died in the way
of duty. just as much as though he had
been stricken on the firing line. There
is no better death than death in the dis
charge of duty.
The world hopes that Orville Wright
will recover from his injury and resume
his attack on the problem of air naviga-
tion-a problem toward the solution of
which he, in association with his brother,
has made brilliant contribution.
So far, inquiry into the cause of the ac-
cdent seems to point to structural weak
ness in the machine or error in the as
scmbling of the parts rather than TO de-
feet in the principles on which the ma
chime is designed.

Mr.. BRYAN and the Farmer.

Speaking in Wilmington last night Mr..
Bryan said:
While I was on the ways and means
committee every man who came there was
a taxester and wanted something. The
farmer is a taxpayer. When candidate
for Congress told the friends who elected
me not to expect me to help them get
their hands in other peoples pockets;
that if | succeeded in keeping other peo-
pIa's hands out of their pockets / would
accomplish more than the republicans
This is TO be tagged as campaign bum
combs. The Wilson tariff bill was pre-
pared after the usual fashion-after the
only fashion. Manufacturers and other
men of affairs whose business would be
affected by the proposed revision or the
tariff schedules waited upon the commit
tee with their views. 1t was entirely
proper that they should do this. 1t would
have been extraordinary il the committee

Personal Force Of Teachers.

From the Ohio State Journal
Notwithstanding the lie one gets
at teachers institute the personal In
f1uence of a teacher goes a great way in
determining the character of a boys or
girls life, and it is hoped that no teacher
will be misled away from that view. In
the formative period of a child's life per-
sonal association is a great force-greater
than ANYTHING else in school work. 1t
seems impossible to imagine anything
else. 1t is really the first thing to look
to-not a mawkish sentimentality. but
thoughtful, inspiring. cou. teous assocla-
ton that makes the education Of the
teacher attractive. Let any one set his
memory at work to find out some In
fiuence that has given happy trend to
his life. and he will be S, re to hit upon
some old teacher away back IN early
school days whose influence was so warm
and gentle that one can feel it yet.
