REGRET FOR MR.. KERN.

So far as the nation is interested in
the election of a democratic senator
from the state of Indiana, there Will
be general regret over the news that
John Kern has missed the prize, or, at
the least, that he is altogether likely
to miss it.
Considering the eternal fitness OF
things. Mr.. Kern was entitled to the
honor. 1t is a most remarkable exam
pie of partisan ingratitude that ms
deserts in this regard were put in
question. BY national reputation by
known ability and qualification for
the Office, by the fact of popularity
and leadership in the Indiana demo-
cracy, Mr.. Kern should have been
easily the first, and really the unani-
nous choice.
This is the way the Indiana senate
rial situation will appear to the
greater part of the country, without
reference to parity. In support of this,
there has been generally expressed ex-
pectancy that the late candidate for
vice president on the democratic ma
tional ticket would be chosen for the
next senator without serious opposl-
ton.
But the democrats of Indiana ap-
parently thought otherwise.

JOHNNY APPLESEED.

One hundred and thirty-fOur years
ago today there was born in Boston
one of the most novel figures in Amer
lean history-Jonathan Chapman, best
known as Johnny Appleseed, perhaps
the most benevolent hobo and tramp
the world has ever known. The an
niversary of his birth is lovingly re-
membered by fruit growers. nursery
men and pomologists throughout the
country. and especially in the central
west, where during his lifetime Johnny
Appleseed planted over 100000 acres
of orchards. About a decade ago a
monument to his memory was erected
in Mansfield, O., and a prominent New
York clergyman has written a novel of
which Johnny is the hero. He died
in 1S47. but the location of his grave
is unknown, except that it is soma-
where in the woods he loved so we'll.
In Ohio and Indiana they have
many a tradition of the barefoot man
who for thirty years moved among
them with tin dipper for a hat and a
coffee sack for coat and trousers. a
leather bag over his shoulder brim-
| ming with apple seeds. They tell how
he planted nurseries here and there
along the river banks, came back when
the trees We're grown, and either gave
them away or sold them for "f1p-p PEN
ny bit" apiece, and how he died a mar
| tyr to his strange business. after see
ing 100000 acres bearing the fruits of
| it.
They tell how, with the Massachu-
sets spirit. he played Paul Revere for
the frontierSmen in the war of 1912
and saved them from Indian massa-
ere. walking through the woods from
shanty to shanty night and day with
out food or rest, giving his warning
There are stories of how he scattered
the seeds of medicinal plants as he

preached his Swedenborgian doctrine

man in the development of industry
and in the march Of progress, but
specific martyrdom for the mainte-
nance of a certain property interest
win hardly appeal to our sense Of hu-
mainly as obligatory. 1t is evident
that in the Pocahontas Consolidated
property there is some inherent defect
that is fatal, and that battles the ex-
perts. 1t is clear that slaughter is the
price of profit in the conduct OF the
property. There should be but one con-
clusion to the matter, and that should
be speedily reached. The property
should be abandoned, and the terrible
sacrifice of human life stopped, un-
less, to an absolute certainty, the
cause Of disaster is discovered ano
measures taken that will positively
avoid it. So long as the origin of these
explosions remains mystery, there
should be no further risk of life.

VefOeS Another
Dam MESSAGE

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. Is
President Roosevelt today sent a
special message to the house vetoing
the bill authorizing William H. STAN
dish to construct a dam across the
James river, in Stone county, Mis-
souri,, to divert portion of it's
waters through tunel to create cleo
trio power. He calls attention to the
fact that corporations are already con-
trolling too much water power and
says that single generation will see
the exhaustion of our natural re-
sources, such as oil and gas, and will
see such rise in the price of coal that
electrically transmitted water power
will be the controlling factor in trans
portation, manufacturing and house
hold heating and lighting.
The message says:
when the public welfare is in
vOlved, congress should reserve any
reasonable doubts as to it's Legislative
power in favor of the people against
the seekers of special privileges. My
reason in believing that the federal
government, in granting licenses to
dam navigable rivers, has power to
impose any condition it finds neces-
Sary, is that it's consent is legally es-
sential to an enterprise of this char
acter. To give away this. one of our
greatest resources, would be an act of
folly"

OLYMPIA. Jan 15.-(SpeciaD-Cor
respondence. )-Senator Ralph Metcal1,
of Pierce county has introduced a Dill
in the senate to amend the primary ell
ection law. The bill has been ap-
proved by the Direct Primary league
and contains all the remedies suggest
ed by that organization for the de-
fects in the present statute.
All cities of the first class when
have charter provisions for nonparu-
san nomination Of candidates Will De
permitted under the Metcaf bill TO
proceed as before; that is to say. the
proposed statute excerpts cities of the
first class from the operation Of the
law in municipal elections. Where no
salary is attached to the office, the
fling fee for candidates is reduced
from SO to 81.
One feature Of the bill which pro-
poses to prevent any unseemly scram-
bic for position on the ballot is adopt
ed from the Minnesota law. 1t pro-
vides for a rotation of names. If the
name of one candidate is at the head
of the list in one precinct, less Ia
vored position will be given it in an
other. SO that by rotation all OF the
candidates will be equal in the matter
of position on the ballot.
The Metcalf bill will make it posi-
BILE to announce the result of a pri-
mary election within half an hour after
the polls close. Two sets of election
officials and ballot boxes are provided,
and it is required that when SO bal
lots have been cast the officials shall
withdraw to another room and count
them
During their absence the second set
will be receiving votes, and they in
turn will count when they have 80
ballots.
The expense of two sets of election
Judges for one rays work will be no
greater than for one set for two days
work. The present law makes no pro-
vision for state committees. The Met
calf bill provides that county commit
tees shall elect members Of the state

Conditions in the Pacific northwest

J. c. Lewis in his own version of the

Keylor Grand theater Sunday Jan. II.
like "Old Homestead and Sag Har-

tastes. 1t deals naturally with life as
it is among the sun-kissed hills of
Pennsylvania, where the scenes are
laid. There are no clap-trap Or arti-
fetal elements in the play. 1t is a mir

of course. there are exciting incidents,
villiany and pathetic scenes, but they
are relieved by wholesome comedy, so

plenty of specialties to please all
tastes. Remember the date.
