Tammanv,s Power Ahsolnte.

There we're reports early In the ca even
that the New York leaders CrammanyJ had
made up their minds that one o. tbcir own
organization men would make as strong a
run as any Of the outside candidates and
that the confidence OF a detuucrstly victory
this fall was 50 strong they would con
clude to nominate from theIr own uatliwick
Mr.. Murphy was sad tc I've weighing
shepard's avsuabity Wits increHs'ug doubt.
One might easily get the idea that
the Associated Press was going off
into the field of humor II he did not
so we'll know that this staid old news
service never does such a thing. This
is an extract from the report OF the
events leading up to the New York
democratic state convention, which
and whose doings, Boss Murphy Of
Tammany Hall held as firmly and
completely in his grasp as IL they had
been so much small change that he
had Just drawn from his pocket.
And yet the democrats of New York
will go before the people this fall and
ask them to elect a set OF candidates
presented by Boss Murphy of Tammany
and endorse a platform written by one
of Boss Murphy's most skillful amanu-
enses. And such staid and dignified
old warehouses; as Judge Alton b.
Parker, an ex-presidential nominee,
will take the stump to tell the people
that this is the peoples fight. The
peoples fight, indeed, but Boss Muir
phys trophy!
During the progress of the conven-
ton, or during the time that Boss
Murphy spent in deciding whom he
would allow to run for governor, the
Tammany chief permitted some news
paper correspondents to enter his
private room in the Rochester hotel
and he told them he was considering
fifteen men for the place at the head
of the ticket, but that up to that
moment he, or as he laughingly OBJ
served, we" had not decided which
one to run.
Such proceedings would make a
serious discussion of the candidate and
platform grotesque. There is Just one
point to be emphasized and that is that
Tammany never held more merciless
grasp on the democratic party of New
York state than it holds today.
Mr.. Murphy was said to be weigh
ing Shepard's availability with increas-
ing doubt"
What did it matter what Mr.. Shep-
ard or his friends, or the majority of
the delegates wanted, so long as "Mr.
Murphy" wanted something and some
! body else?

CALIFORNIA; Natural Gas.

California is great state, the great
est, in the estimation of it's own people,
who are the most jealous in their
local admiration of any people in the
country. But great as it is, California
lacks industrialism and its best citi-
zens are awake to the fact. Agricul-
tural and horticultural and climatic re-
sources, added to it's mineral wealth,
are not enough; it must have more
industries; not enough, chiefly because
they are not all the natural resources
the state possesses and certainly it
cannot be argued that it has attained
it's maximum greatness so long as there
is one such resource undeveloped.
In the last decade California has
come into new wealth and fame
through its marvellous oil wells and
no man can even guess that they have
been more than tapped. But oil as a
fuel for manufacturing purposes has
thus far not become staple. 1t is of
the heavy petroleum grade that is diff
ficult to pipe great distances. One
piping venture from Bakersfield to
San Francisco, or Point Richmond, al
ready has failed. But now comes the
resource Of natural gas. 1t will pipe
most any distance and it will also
serve as fuel for any sort of purpose,
as it has done in Pennsylvania, Indi-
ana and Kansas.
This gas comes from the same To-
cality as the oil wells, being most
abundant in Kern county, of which
Bakersfield is the metropolis, and that
is something over $40 miles south of
San Francisco. Already a movement
is projected to pipe this gas to San
Francisco. But according to the
Chronicle, strange to say, feeling has
sprung up that this gas should be con-
served and not exploited now. This,
as the Chronicle says, is conservation
gone mad" Those wells, 1t asserts
900, 900 cubic feet of gas day. No
one can tell how long such production
will hold out, but in Pennsylvania II
has held out long enough to build
great cities and immense industries
and contribute vastly to the wealth OF
the nation. In Indiana it has held out
for more than twenty-five years with
no sign of diminution as yet, and there
too, 1t has revolutionized industry and
in Kansas great results have been &C.
complished.
Since everything else is so much
vaster in California than elsewhere
why not gas too? At any rate, the
state and the nation need the gas, JUS
as they needed California's gold, and
it will be a shortsighted business
policy that decides to let it remain II
the earth when it could be doing won
ders toward building up new in
dustries, new towns and creating new
fields of employment for capital anC
labor.
This is not local question. People
from all parts of the country are look
ing toward California and many o.
them are going there.

A RHYME OF THE ROAD.


Katherine Lyman in The Spectator.
bless that man whose kindness set
These avenues of shade,
And may his place in Heaven be yet
BY many green arcade!
The trees Of Heaven are dark and wide;
Sweet shade have they and full;
Our God Himself at eventide
Walks there in shadow cool
Now may He pause mid heavenly folk;
BeCkon that man and say:
Friend, they are good, the beech and oak
You planted on a day.
And by his palm tree and his well
May angel faces lean;
And may he hear Heavens sacring-bell
From out a leafy screen,
Now for the acorn smooth and round,
And the beecb-mast so small,
HIS bed be made on the holy ground,
Where dews OF Heaven will fall
Q may the River of Life flow soft
over its jeweled stones,
And may the birds In boughs aloft
Sing we'll their Lauds and Nones.
Yet, be he keeper of those trees,
And may he rest below,
Who gives to weary folk such ease,
This man Of long ago.
And may he shelter golden birds.
And white lambs on the grass,
Who tempers still for focks and herds
This sky OF molten brass.

Supreme Court Vacancies.

President Taft has one more vacancy
on the supreme court bench 10 all ard
a chief justice to name before the new
term opens October 4, and apparently
the matter is giving him some serious
difficulty to decide. Thus far nothing
like a definite idea has come to light
regarding whom the president will
select for the last place vacated on the
bench, but as to the chief justiceship
1t has been believed by many that
Governor Hughes will be named. Now
a report comes from the east that Gov
ernor Hughes, while he will take his
place upon the bench as an associate
justice, may not become the successor
OF Chief Justice Fuller.
But how near this report comes to
rejecting the facts in the case can
only be conjectured, with nothing
more tangible on which TO base con-
illusions than the rumor that the pres
ident regards the governor as a little
too radical temperamentally 10 serve
well as chief justice The very fact
that the president has appointed the
New York man to the bench ought to
dispose of this report. 1t would seem
that If he regarded him as too radical
for chief Justice, he might also re-
gard him too radical for an associate
justiceship, since neither law nor ira.
dition gives the chief justice any fixed

The Presidency and Happine.s.

.,.- "a e. Brooklyn Eagle.
There are pIaces that give more happi-
ness to men than the office of president OF
the United States says President Taft
A man who finds he has lost by winning
the presidency needs to be a good loser,
however, II only to sustain the ideals Of
school boys. The criticism which Mr..
Roosevelt courted gives pain to President
Taft. IF wanted an acknowledgment
of my Importance had to hammer it out
myself" he tells the scholars at Woodward
school. AS president he finds he must do
the same thing; there is no JOY except in
hammering, and those who hammer must
be hammered. Thei can be no other pro-
gram to insure "a perfectly corkng time
as president"

Interurban Railroads.

That new life is being put into the
project for the line of electric railway
known as the Omaha, Lincoln &
Beatrice Interurban is gratifying. The
Importance of this project to the cities
concerned cannot be overestimated.
People not thoroughly conversant with
the inside facts have wondered why
the completed grade has been allowed
to stand for several years without the
rails. Some influence beyond the pub
lie ken has been sufficiently potent to
retard the development of the enter
prise, but it now appears likely to be
pushed to completion.
One Of the most effective factors in
city building is facility of communica-
ton with residents of the territory
served. The railroads coming into
| Omaha have furnished a reasonably
satisfactory suburban service, but troll
ley lines running to the nearby towns
! providing means for farmers to reach
| the city at convenience are needed.
The proposition requires no argument.
Omaha has Jagged in this phase of
urban progress and 1t is high time that
the matter of trolley lines was being
given proper consideration. The work
should receive all encouragement, for
the sooner the city is connected with
the surrounding country by electric
! lines the sooner it will enter on that
stage of Its growth where it will be-
come the center of life it should be.

Recent Remarks Ia Kansas on Their
Whereabouts.
Emporla (Kan) Gazette.
Our esteemed friend, w ]. Bryan, orator
and statesman came to Emporia yesterday
to say that the republicans had stolen his
clothes. All OF which is interesting, but
lacks the element of strict accuracy. As a
matter of fact, Mr.. Bryan has no clothes
He was CARRIED in some habiliments which
he received as reslduary legatee of the
pops; and the pops got the vestments from
the greenbackers who had them Of the
conscious wings, who got them indirectly
from one Moses who led the children of
Israel out of Egypt and was defeated by
farmer-a reaper to be exact, whose name
is Death, so that even Moses who first
made the garments and wrote thou shalt
not steal, never really got to enjoy them.
Mr.. Bryan's intentions are good, but his
title is bad. He came by his clothes by
larceny, and he should not complain IL he
loses them by right OF eminent domain.
