Mr.. Bryan is going to make speeches
in all the large cities of the country
during the campaign. There is no OBJ
lection to Taft's following the Nebras-
kan in this as in other matters. In
fact, for purposes of comparison, it
would be good thing for the people of
the country at large. Perhaps the dig
nifty of the Republican candidate will
be pleaded to excuse him.

Another Explanation.

Speaking of AR Taft's plan to take
the stump, the New York Times finds
an explanation for it in the change
in the laws governing the railroads
which interfere with front porch cam
paigns7 such as Mr. Mckinley conduct
ed when he was a candidate Tor Presi-
dent. Before the INTERROGATION laws
went into effect it was very simple and
Inexpensive to run excursions from va
rious points to the candidates home

cuss the issues of the campaign and to
meet the people. Now with the law
making it difficult to fix rates that are
attractive to excursions, while. on the
other hand, corrupt practices acts have

For a Larger Army.

President Rooseyelt's announced in
fention TO call for an increase in the
size of the regular army TO 100000
men viii seem remarkable to those
somewhat familiar with American
military conditions more by reason of
its moderation than otherwise. The
present situation in respect of the
defense of the country is so absurd
that but for their serious nature and
for the known hostility of the people
to the maintenance of a large stand
ing force, they might be termed laugh
able.
In view of the need of garrisons in
Porto Rico, Cuba, the Hawaiian, Car
oline, and Philippine Islands, and in
the posts and fortifcations at home,
the present force is necessarily broken
into a number of small units, never
operated as armies, but as detach-
ments, unable TO maneuyer, drill, or
be taught considerable evolutions, and
consequently unframed to efficient as
semhlage and procedure in large or
CARNATIONS. Some improvement has
been effected in both line and staff in
the last ten years. since the war with
Spain exhibited the glaring deficiencies
of the army in a deplorable way.
At present the maximum strength
of~>the force is $4,000, and this it is
proposed to increase to 100000. Re
cent increases in pay, allowances and
privileges make the recruiting of the
army easier than in the past, and this
has been further stimulated by the
granting of commissions to enlisted
men who prove their competency by
passing examinations.
Ia view of the enormous waste of
life and treasure-which latter is hu-
man life converted into something else
bound TO ensue upon the beginning
of hostilities owing to our lack of an
adequate and skilled military organi-
zation, it may reasonably be hoped
that the Presidents demand will be
understood to be only for a part of
what is needed, and promptly and
eheerfully complied with by Congress.

Protecting the President.

1t is TO be sincerely hoped that the
explanation of the shot which it was
first reported was fired at the Presi-
dent proves 10 be correct. The rPresi-
dent personally Is so popular with all
classes that it is most unlikely that
anybody but a crank would attempt
to harm him. The press dispatches
say that the hunting season has Just
opened on Long Island, so it is possible
to account for the shot as being the
act of some careless hunter.
The American people dislike to think
OF hedging the President about with
the guards and Secret Service that are
found necessary to protect royalty
from harm. They feel, for one thing,
that it imposes restrictions upon him
that are most irksome; and, moreover,
they hate to think that this country is
infested with the sort of vermin which
would resort to assassination 10 gain
its ends. But with the growth of the
country and with the change in the
character of the population of our
great cities everybody recognizes the
necessity Of protecting the President
from the ever-present crank, who oc-
casionally proves to be dangerous.
1t is only when some such report as
that which comes from Oyster Bay is
received that the uneasy thought sug-
gests itself that the time is approach
ing when the President viii be obliged
20 deny himself the freedom of action
he now enjoys and mingle less and
less with the public.

viii GOmperS Deliyer2

There has been considerable evidence
that organized labor, in its political
excursion this year, is going to pro-
duce some results. Already it has
some scalps at its belt.
It defeated, for denomination, Repre-
sentative Connor of Iowa, a member
OF the Committee on Labor, because
he had suppressed various bills in
which labor was interested.
1t took sides in general against Long
in the Kansas fight, and Long was de-
feated.
It welded the largest single in
fuenee in the fight against Jenkins OF
Wisconsin, chairman of the House
judiciary Committee, and keeper of the
official morgue for reform legislation /;
and Jenkins was defeated for renomi-
nation.
President Gompers made a strong
showing at the farmers congress in
Texas, and his address at Danville on
Labor Day paid his respects to Speaker
Cannon in terms no more severe than
those which have been applied to that
dignitary by thousands of Republicans,
The Gompers fight is being well man
aged. Labor is showing command Of
its case. Instead of talking endlessly
aJout injunction legislation, and fore
ing a division into classes; instead OF
attacking the courts, and driving many
to defend those who would not be con-
cerned if the issue were made else
where-nstead of making these mis-
takes, Mr. Gompers and his associates
have aimed their attack at the best
mark in sight; the House rules and
the control of its business by a small
clique of an-powerful men
Secretary Taft has been giving his
personal views on various matters, as
a sort of supplement to the platform
when the platform happened to be
silent at points where expression was
needed. He would do well, in some
early Utterance, to give assurance OF
his sympathy with the effort to reor-
ganize the rules and business methods
of the Representative branch. True, it is
no business of his; either house is
law unto itself in making its rules
But in practice, the certainty that the
President liked the idea of a reform
would have immense weight in favor OF
the proposal.
The people have at last come ia
realize to what an extent the House
oligarehy stands in the way of progress
1ive legislation.

Can 1t Be the Same DahIman ?

This Is a strange story the wires
bring from Nebraska. There must be
something wrong about it or else he
IS not the same Dahlman. That is all
there is to it. 1t Is, in brief, that
Mayor DahIman, of Omaha, old "Jim1
Dahlman, has been swatted by the
Democrats of Nebraska, bowled over
and out just as if he were not the
close friend, the chosen one, the Fidus
Aehates, of Mr.. Bryan. When Jim"
announced that heA was candidate
for the DemocratieN nomination for
governor we supposed, having seen how
close "Jim" stood TO the Peerless One
that it was all over but the shouting
At the Denver convention Jim" seemed
to be the whole show, so well known
was it that he carried in his bosom
secrets that Mr.. Bryan shared with no
one else. Men nudged one another and
looked in awe as slim" strobe by. He
was swathed in reflected glory. It is
a shock to see him trail behind man
named Shellenberger to, the extent OF
1000 votes. We are unable to account
for tins surprising development. Can
it be that the Democrats of Nebraska
don't care a whoop for the wishes OF
Nebraska's favorite son, and does il
portend a show of Indifference on the
part of the State to her own candidate
such as she gave in 1900 when Mr.
8IcKnI ley captured her electoral vote
and again in 1904 when she gave
Teddy" $4,000 plurality?

in the campaign. IN the circumstances
there is. no cause for wonder that MIR.
Taft did not like the prospect. At any
rate, the explanation is plausible one,
though it may not be altogether re-
sponsible for the change of plan, OF
which Mr.. Bryan IN an entirely proper
way is making political capital. 1t
is quite certain if the shoe had been
on the other foot that we should have
had from Republican papers a tremen-
dous amount of noise about the other
fellows being on the run.

For the purpose of increasing the pub

used each year, It was reelSoned that
