More Nonpartisanship.

Not long ago we quoted from the
Howells Journal, a staunch democratic
paper, declaring that it took no stock
in the "nonpartisan nonsense" incor-
porated into the democratic state plat
form to decoy votes in the coming Ne
braska election for democratic candi-
dates who could not otherwise hope to
be elected,
A counterpart, although with varia-
lions, we find in the Fullerton News
Journal, another democratic paper in a
usually democratic county, which man
ifests its nonpartisanship by this APP
peal for strengthening the democratic
organization:
To secure future victory In the national
and state campaigns one must remember
that party organization and party lines
must be guarded. To secure greater things
we must watch out and make the smaller
ones sound. The county election is but a
small cog in the great democratic machine,
Nance county must go democratic this fall.
To make this territory democratic we must
elect the men who are capable OF drawing
I epublican votes. Not that we love Caesar
less but Rome more" or not that we love
the candidate less but our party more, is
the great reason that we should forget
personal friendships and enmities and elect
the man who we think will carry the larg-
est number Of republican votes.
The Fullerton News-Journal ia naive
as we'll as frank. 1t wants Nebraska
to go %nonpartisan this year in order to
pave the way for a democratic victory
next year, and 1t wants Nance county
to go democratic this year in order to
get something bigger for the democrats
next year. 1t wants democratic candi-
dates nominated who will draw repub-
lican votes, but 1t carefully abstains
from the suggestion that any repub-
lican candidates may be entitled to
democratic votes.
Even the democratic World-Herald,
which has been beating the nonparti-
san tom-tom loudest, confessed a few
weeks ago that it was not in the habit
OF supporting republican candidates
for office, and It has since her shown
no signs Of changing its habits.
The game Of democratic nonpartisan-
ship is a great bunco game.

people Of the south n the fifteenth
amendment. II is a pitiable exist
ence for a national party, but it is the
democracy.
DR.. Taylor puts an interesting case,
but there is yet no sign Of a cleavage
in the republican party or a new era
in the political history Of America.
There is nothing for it but the repub-
lican party governing the country and
the democrats berating each other.

Mr.. Yoakum told the farmers in Ok
lahoma hat cotton is a natural COM
modify for wa%rehousing and holding
until the time for selling. 1t is good
advice, but.farmers who have been for
a year furnishing sides of bacon and
bags Of meal to numerous clients in
the underworld of cotton do not find
it always so simple to balance accounts
without money, or to get money with
out selling cotton.

The Political MimenIum.
Kansas CITY journal.

hansds OIIN JOuInaI.
Two Kansas farmers, one OF them a
republican and the other a democrat, were
quarreling over their political beliefs, The
more they argued the farther apart they
drlfted. Finally they called in a neighbor
TO settle the dispute. This neighbor was a
man who seldom said anything; who went
about his business; was a good citizen, and
substantial In every way.
"Well," he replied, after both had stated
their sides, my son and I have been
hauling wheat nearly forty years now.
There are two roads leading TO the mill.
One is the valley road and the other leads
over the hill. But never yet has the miller
asked me which road We came. lie always
asks, Is this wheat gOOdg"

IDLE CARS AND CAR sHoRTAGE.
DoIefuI Note Sounded on an Entirely
New Key.
Wall Street Journal.

Wall Street Journal.
Railroads are continually jumping from
the frying pan into the fire. For more
than two years they have frankly published
every week the number of idle cars
throughout the country. Doleful as the
figures seem the silver lining to the cloud
broadened as the numbers began to dim
Irish. Now that they are threatening to
vanish before we get a good last look at
them, people are beginning to work them
selves into a troubled state OF mind over
the fear of a car shortage. Even Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate com
mission is predicting one for the coming
year, which is only a little more than four
months away.
However, the country does not mind being
burnt a little with the friction Of competi-
ton for freight cars. Railway people would
no doubt like to know how IT feels to have
two customers clamoring for the same
freight car. 1t begins to look like easy
dividends, and they need not explain to
analysts of their annual statements how
they manage to meet all their fixed charges
without trenching on their reserves. They
can also come with better heart to Wall
Street with their offerings Of securities
than at any time within three years.
These new sensations are after all things
that are worth while waiting for. with
every car groaning under its allowable
proportion Of freight, gross earnings will
mount upward in such fashion as to make
the railroads feel that they can do all the
double tracking, build all the terminals,
and supply all the equipment without beg
ging anybody TO take the doubtful end
of the bargain. TIT whole morale of the
railway service from top to bottom is feel
ing the beneficial effects Of the grand
shift from the idle car era to the days near
at hand when the roads will have all that
they can do.

II Philippine bonds that sold for
$1.O9 in 1905 are now par, what will
the islands be worth in twenty more
years? Whether the answer is high
finance or common arithmetic, the
subject is not one to be unseasonably
forced on cultivated society at a time
Of exultation over o, corn crop. We
have about concluded that we took
the Philippines as our share in bad
luck. We will settle the expense and
take our medicine.

warshIps and Airships.

General Grant tells us that in the next
war the airship will be decisive. But the
Navy department has Just opened bids for
two battelships of 5000 tons displacement,
and It is seriously considering designs for
ships of 10000 tons displacement in order
to carry an armament Of twelve fourteen
inch guns. If the world-ourselves in
c~luded-will only become possessed Of Gen
eral Grants idea we might save a few
hundred millions by not building any more
floating forts. Compared with them, even
Count Zeppelin's dirigible balloon is cheap
and the aeroplane of the Wrights costs
nothing worth speaking OF.

A Significant Reminder.
ST. Louis Republic

The necessity for economy in public ex-
penditures becomes startlingly apparent
when we are reminded that the national
government is now costing every year as
much money as the entire cotton crop OF
the year sells for. The figures are not
very far different for the wheat crop.
Follow the wheat rover from fall plow-
ing to thrashing or the cotton growers
from planting to picking and one can
form a notion Of how many people are
working " keep the government going.
