The other day Gov Wilson of New
Jersey told the Democratic state Con
vention of his commonwealth not to
suggest him for the presidential nom
ination. Immediately his sycophantic
admirers al over the country cited
him as an example of public spirit
and unsclfishness such as the people
had not seen for long time They
declared that he omitted fine
chance 10 get valuable advertise
ment for himself for the big cam
paign. The early bird always has
the advantage in picking up the
things that it wants to get. so he was
reminded Others appeared to be on
the point of telling him that while
his conduct might be magnificent, 1t
was not politics Possibly some of
them did tell him this.
But there may have been methoo
in this apparent altruism The early
aspirant is often distanced by the
man who starts later. He is out of
breath before he gets within sight
of the goal AS a historian Gov. Will
son must have encountered instances
of this sort more than once. Clay
was the logical" candidate for 1870,
but the convention put MP Harrison,
who was not thought of by anybody
for the candidacy two years earlie%.
Between the defeat of Fremont in
1885 and the meeting Of the Repub-
lican convention in Chicago in 1860
hardly day passed which failed to
see some newspaper or politician.
Democratic as well as Republican,
mention Seward as the inevitable Re-
publican candidate for the latter
year. In this instance, too, the other
man carried off the prize. And there
have been many cases Of this sort.
Possibly the governor had some of
these cases OF slips between the cup
and the lip in mind when he told his
state convention to go slow about
putting him forward for the presi-
dental candidacy. Then, again,
there Is chance that he may have
been influenced by the anti-Wilson
demonstration at the primaries in
some Of the important New Jersey
towns. He has many more enemies
now than he had when he carried
his state against the weak candidate
whom the Republicans put up against
him In 1910. He has failed to do
some Of the things that he promised,
and some of those that he did have
turned out to be unpopular More
over. he has changed his base SO of
ten on things OF some consequence,
the initiative, referendum and recall
being one of them, that nobody
knows just where he would stand on
anything If he should chance to be
made president. The Wilson cult
has fewer devotees than it had ten or
ewelve months ago.--St. Louis Globe

PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. 15.-Exercis-

of the 15Oth anniversary of the birth
of Commodore Edward Preble, one of
the most distinguished officers of the
American navy in it's early days. Com
modore Prebles was born and died in
Portland and Fort Preble, guarding the

dore Preble is best remembered for
the warfare he conducted against the
Barbary pirates, who menaced Ameri-

the year of 1903 his ships bombarded
Tripoli six times and destroyed all the
pirate craft. The Pacna finally asked

operations eventually resulted in the
peace of 1905, by which the tribute
that Europe had paid for centuries and
the slavery of Christian captives were
abolished.
