Mr.. Sherman's death, as did the an
nouncement that ii was approaching, viii
cause universal and sincere sorrow- He
had many political admirers and host
If personal friends and deserved them
all. A sturdy comrade and a fair oppo-
nent he did his part with all his heart
and did 1t we'll 1t Is a notable accom-
plishment to become leader. first In the
leading state of the Union. and then In
the Congress of the United States. This
Mr.. Sherman put to his credit by prepa-
ration for the public business and great
industry in discharging every duty COM
United to his hands. He has gone at an
carly age-under sixty-and at a time
when his party needed him. but not too
soon to rob him Of an excellent place In
history. He had shown his mettle. and
made honorable remembrance secure.
Not until November L. will notice be
taken of Mr.. Shermans death by the re-
publican orga nization Then the national
committee will meet pursuant to call to
ill the vacancy on the national ticket
The selection will derive much impor-
lance should Tuesdays result throw the
presidential election into the House. But
II. as now appears altogether probable.
The democrats are the winners. then the
repubI, can problem will look to the bring
ing together of the two factions Of the
party for service In the congressional
elections two years hence. and In the
presidential contest four years hence. The
party Will have fallen through divisions.
and can hope to stand again only through
union.
The most prominent Of the insurgents
ara Mr. Ia Foletta Mr. Cummins Mr.
Borah, MIR. Hadley and Mr.. Beveridge.
They are all of national fame. and two
are candidates in this campaign Mr..
and Mr. Beveridge is the progressive can
,iidate for Governor of Indiana.
The most prominent straight republicans
who are yet on friendly terms with the
insurgents on personal scores are Mr..
Fairbanks and Secretary Stimson. Mr..
Fairbanks has demonstrated fine capac-
ity both as senator and Vice President:
and while he was active for Mr.. Taft at
Chicago. and has since been actively for
his election. he has not incurred the criti-
cism Of the progress!ves as have some
others fighting at his SIDE.
In the case Of Mr.. Stimson. while he is
a member of the cabinet and loyal to his
chief. only two years. ago he was sup
ported for Governor of New York by
many Of the men now enrolled as pro-
gressives in that state.
The national committee is of course
strictly partisan. and has the power to
name Mr.. Sherman's successor. But
It Is open to advice and is likely to re-
ceive a great many suggestions before the
day appointed for action.

Call Of the Home Land.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

F the Ch4ca9O Rec0fd-HefaId. =
The call of the fatherland has been
needed throughout America. From the
steel mills Of Gary and tie coal mines Of
the east the sons of the Balkan peoples
have rallied to the help of their kinsnen
at home. eager to assist in ejecting the
impossible Turk. No doubt the few Turks
here have been equally loyal. though less
has been written about them There is
something particularly touching about
this exodus of Greeks, - Nontenegtinss
Servians and Buigarians What memo
ries do they bear to their home lands
that constitute claim on their loyalty?
So far as material conditions go, the
claim is very slight. Though they came
TO America to better their material con-
dition. they are not materialists. The in
dustrial mills here have not ground the
manhood out of them. . No, they are
fighting for an ideal whic', some phi
losophers are fond of declaring moribunG
the persistent ideal of patriotism.

duty vigorously and with so little delay
that the great military machine of the
Turks has been taken completely at

A Vile Custom.
From the Boston Post.

It seems that the work of the federal
public health service in investigating the
sanitary conditions of domestic steam
boat lines was needed. Offcers of this
bureau report that the drinking tanks on
a certain class of steamboats, are often
filled from the river on which they ply
In one instance more than twenty cases
of typhoid fever we're traced to this prac-
tice. 1t is almost incredible that in, these
days any steamboat company could be
mean enough or ignorant enough to do
any such thing as that But the fact that
some are guilty Of 1t shows the necessity
of immed ate reform. 1t is pity that
they cannot be proceeded against crimi-
nally. -.

Mr.. Wilson and the South.

JOSepnuS Daniels or NOrtn CaEOund, a
prominent figure at national democratic
Headquarters. predicts to The Stars rep
resentative sojburning In New York a
record-breaking vote for Wilson and
Marshall in the south. This in rep,y to
the assertion that the progressives are
strong down there. 800. -s..t:.'.
AS Mr.. Daniels is a southern man and
in position to know the details OF the
southern situation his prediction is en-
titled to much consideration. -;
The south next week In supporting the
democratic ticket will not feel that she is
voting for free trade. She is strongly for
protection. Louisiana wants the tariff
wall preserved around sugar. Alabama,
Georgia and Tennessee want stiff duties
kept on iron and coal. Virginia and the
Carolinas have fingers In the protection
pie. and want to continue to share the
goodies.
, The democrats. Of those, states appraise
the tai h plank Of the Baltimore plat
form as bluff for politics only. They
tole.a it because convinced from the
record that an honest ia riff-for-revenue-
only measure viii not result from ma
tional democratic victory They remem-
Der 1892. when Henry Watterson drew
the plato m, and Mr.. Cleveland qualified
1t in his letter of acceptance. and
democratic Congress repudiated It. What
was done then. they calculate. can be.
and will be. done again. They have no
fear Of anything resembling an honest
redemption of what Mr.. Bryan c'early
set forth at Baltimore on the tariff sub
ject, and they also Calculate on getting
hot cHor ~ fho
in any revision of the tariff under the
Wi son administration.
Though not more moved by the con-
sideration than their brethren OF. other
sections. or than voters Of all parties are.
the democrats OF the south know what
the cutting of a pie means. and they are
getting their platters. ready. They are
active. and seeing to 1t that. their ac-
tivity is observed. They want the polling
to show that they were alive on election
day, and helped swell the popular vote
for the restoration Of the party to power.
Then when the division of the pastry
begins they viii, be able to present them
selves at the counter with the greater
hope and confidence. -...,f
The so-called progressive campaign in
the south has beenr = Imaginable sham.
Organized to deceive voters elsewhere.
1t has never deceived voters anywhere.
Nobody with shred Of knowledge. and
in position to speak frankly. has ever
imagined for a moment or contended that
the democratic party this year need
spend sing'e anxious moment about any
southern state. The progressives could
more easily carry the moon or the planet
Mars than any portion OF the sold south.

One of Life's Mysteries.

Nothing in the awful mystery Of. life

widening contrasts Of human fortune.
Why should one child be brought into

crime? Can these disparities of condi-
ton be mended through the political
fabric? If We should place a man i'm

nevolent absolutism. could he CHI nge to

halt the lame and the blind .soile chance
against the healthy, the energetic and
