who advocates sectional domination Is
doing an injury to his own section,
for the industries Of the entire coun-
try are 80 interdependent that pros
perity cannot be maintained IN one
while another section is held back or
disseminated against. This is the real
complaint the west has made in years
past, and consistent effort is gradually
wearing down eastern prejudice. One
of the greatest object lessons Of the
sectional interdepepdence was fur
nished by the 1907 panic. 1t was the
strong financial position Of the west
and it's great which enabled
the country to recover so rapidly, but
the vests experience in that trouble
proved that 1t could not cut loose from
the east or avoid sharing the loss
which the money famine had pro-
duced.

NOT AN AUsrICIoUs TIME.
sOutherners Not Ready to Change
Party ALLEGIANCE.

Charleston News and Courier.
The Omaha Bee seems TO have some idea
that the effort Of the republicans TO capture
Virginia in the present gubernatorial fight
may meet with success. II Is understood
tina this is the first battle for the destruc-
ton of the solid South.
The time is inauspicious. Men are not
convinced OF the sincerity OF the republic
can party in the matter OF the tariff. The
Nebraska republican state convention has
just condemned the Aldrich bill, and 1t
seems certain that like action will be
taken by the republicans OF some Of the
most powerful OF the states of the middle
west. A party that has a rebellion gnaw-
ing at it's vitals is in no position to reach
out for converts. II the hotbeds for pro-
lection, of which Boston is one. are not
satisfied with the new law, II Is not to be
presumed that 1t will find favor in the
enemy's country"
There is one chance for the republicans
in Virginia. The democrats are engaged in
a bitter fight among themselves. Who
ever the nominee. he cannot expect the
earnest support of those who fought for
the defeated candidate. The result OF the
democratic primary is apt to leave a breach
that cannot be entirely healed. Even SO,
as things are, no voters would disregard
their Obligations and go over to the repub-
Leans, but the vote that does not 60 to
lthe primary is a large one and sufficient,
We believe, in this case to determine the
J result.

No Sectionalism.

One OF the best-grounded COM
plants the west has ever made
against the east was the provincialism
which refused to see anything worthy
of consideration west Of the Allie
gheny mountains. Conditions in this
respect are not so bad as formerly, but
II will not assist in banishing eastern
provincialism for the west to take up
with the same idea. Governor John
son OF Minnesota, In his address at
the Seattle exposition, however, seems
to have INDUCED in this line OF argu-
ment. The west wants and is entitled
to a larger share in shaping the ma
tons policy than 1t has had in the
past, but neither in population nor in
It's industries is 1t entitled to exclusive
domination. The west is developing at
a wonderful rate. but one-third of the
country's population is still in the
thirteen original states and another
third in states carved II of lands
belonging TO them and which are in
no sense a part OF the west as meant
by Governor Johnson. ~IndustrialIy

river maintains the same relative i'm.

The real question is not domination
by any section. The same evil inheres
in sectional domination. no matter
what section dominates. The mar

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.
Demand for More Money and
Good Roads.

New York Tribune.
Rural prosperity has It's shadow as we'll
as It's sunshine. The head of the Postofflce
department is learning this to his sorrow.
Years ago the farmer was content with al
most anything. In those days he didn't
have a telephone in the dining room, a
wind mill in the yard, In automobile IN
the shed and a large pile of money in the
bank. So when the experimental ruraI
routes were established In order that the
husbandman might rave his mail brought
to him once a day instead of being com,
PEELED to get It once a week from ths
postoffice when he made his Saturday tril
to town, there were plenty of applicants
for the place of rural carrier at $500 a year
even though the successful man under.
stood that he must provide his own horse
and wagon.
Now. with the rural carriers receiving
many of them, $500 a year, they are no.
saI,isfied. It's bad enough for the govern
ment servant TO be compelled to watch hLi
neighbors riding by him in their touring
cars as he picks two pennies out Of tn,
mail box and applies the scanty moisture
OF a parched tongue to sticking a stamI
on a letter, without having to provide hi
own equipment, while suburban city car
riers who use horses and vehicles receiy,
an allowance Of $500 a year in addition t.
their salaries. Then, too, the rural car
rier will insist on complaining about tn,
roads. In other days any road upon which
a half-loaded wagon would not be STALLED
when the spring thaw came was gooI
enough, but now the rural carriers, whel
they assemble in convention, demand tina
bridges be repaired and harrows dragged
over the highways at frequent interval
70 make them smooth.
Looking at the matter seriously, how
ever, II is easy 10 imagine that the rura
mail delivery system has been the creates
factor making for good roads. Once In
country folk became accustomed to havlnI
their mail brought TO them they locke
for II as anxiously as the city dweller doe
for his morning delivery. As the govern
ment does not require it's rural carrier
to traverse impossible roads, there wa
some incentive TO improve the condition
OF the rural highways. and once begui
the work was worth carrying on for it
own sake. The rural carrier may hav
the appearance of being a chronic kicker
but he has been Of inestimable value L

Output of Doctors.
Cincinnati Inquirer.

Statistics compiled by a technical journal
recently show that in Europe one physician
can care for 1000 of the general population.
II such a proportion holds good for Europe,
it is reasonable to suppose that a similar
proportion would be sufficient for the
United States. And yet, according to the
census of 1900, we had one doctor to every
594 Of our population. 1t is estimated thai
the 1910 census will show at least 1854, OK
doctors in the United States. 1t Us stated
on authority that we are ~thirty-five years
in advance of the natural requirements
and this, of course. means not only suffer
ing for the profession, but also a serious
economic problem for the country.

outside of the question as to which
party and which candidate would win, and
outside OF the discussion of the fortunes
OF particular states, the most common
theme of conjecture in the Pullman car
during the campaign was the question rs
to what were the appropriate activities for
presidential candidates. The spectacle OF
a presidential candidate rushing about
the country, and addressing audiences here
and there, speaking day after day from
the rear end of a train. is one which has
come in with the Bryan method Of doing
things. Whatever may be its political
value, the practically unanimous verdict
Of the smoking room was against IL.
Politicians, lawyers, office holders,
travellers Of all yocations united In saying
that the picture OF a presidential candi-
date going about the country to solicit
votes or to put fire into local organlzG-
lions Of his party, was not a pleasing one.
Not only was the sentiment OF the
smoking room dead against this sort OF
thing. but its judgment almost unanl-
mously condemned the process from the
standpoint OF vote getting. The men who
ride on Pullman cars believed that Tai;
would get as many votes by staying at
home as by being carried about the coun-
try under the management Of the rspub-
lican campaign committee. am much in
clined to think that the judgment Of the
Pullman car In this matter not only was
on the side Of dignity, but also was good
politics. The smoking room almost TO a
man condemned this sort Of campaigning
for the presidency

ing. contributes an instructive study of
national life under the caption, The Pol
itics Of a Pullman Car" A few Of his OBJ
%servations follow:
From de Tocqueville and Dickens to Mr..
Bryce and Max O'Rell there havc been
many suggestions as to the best method Of
studying the American people as we in
the United States modestly call ourselves.
The fact is that in the gradual evolution
Of our complex national life the Pullman
car has come to be the epitome Of the
United states. Here one finds not always
the rich and the poor, but he finds the
rich together with every variety OF the
well-to-do. The preacher, the teacher, the
college professor, the politician, the bust
ness man. the labor union delegate, touch
elbows in a Pullman car. Here, under
more democratic conditions than are to be
found in any other spot on the continent,
men live, move and have their being, and
here one sees, reduced to the dimensions Of
a drawing room, the whole game Of ma
tlonal life.
