FOREIGN BORN VOTE A GREAT
FACTOR.

No wonder the foreign born vote
counts for so much in our national ell
ections. According to the statistics re-
Gently issued by the Census Bureau
fully one-third of the registered white
vote Of the country is of alien birth.
Think of it! One out of every three
white men in this country qualified to
vote on next Tuesday was born in
some foreign country Take this vote
and the children of foreign born par
entage, and it S evident that fully one
half of the registered vote was ether
born out of this country or is Ameri-
can born of the first generation.
No wonder the foreign born, or
alien, vote counts for so much in the
consideration of the polit cal leaders.
No wonder they are eager to espouse
it, and wary about offending it. A
number Of states are dominated by it,
and in a number of others it easily
holds the balance of power. The man,
who, unwittingly or otherwise, gives
offense to tbs large element is sadly
handicapped in a race for the pres
idency.
From the figures given out it can be
readily seen how necessary it was to
undo the injury done Gov. Wilson by
the charge of Hearst that he was bit
terIy opposed to the foreign element in
this country. Had the impression ere
ated by Hearst and some others not
been speedily d'spelled the result
might have been disastrous to the
Democratic cause. But there is reason
to believe that the i'll fee ing and mis-
understanding created was but temper
airy in its nature and that Wilson will
receive due share of the foreign born
vote-a vote that at least in the East
has been more inclined to affiliate with
the Democratic than the Republican
party,

WHY NOT NOMINATE SUBSTI.
TUTES!

The death of Vice-President Sher-
man, candidate for reelection on the
Republ can ticket. creates a condition
that is said by historical investigators
never to have existed before.
lnasmuch as such a misfortune is
apt to occur to a candidate on any
national ticket, and just as likely the
winning ticket it is evident that some
provision ought to be made to meet
exactly this contingency.
To that end why should not each of
the parties putting out a national tick
ct provide by their nominating conven-
tons, and carry on Their tickets on
election day, substitute candidates for
vice president? This would meet ex-
act'y the contingency that has arisen
from Mr. Sherman's death
II would enable candidate becom-
ing disabled to eEetire, or in the event
of death would present automatically
preferred candidate for the office.
In the event of the death of a wee
presidential candidate after election
and before installation in office. the
substitute could by 'aw become his
successor. This would certainly be
better than a condition of uncertainty,
such as may exist at any tine under
the prevailing law, and would remove
the dissatisfaction and friction likely
to follow from the death of a vice
presidential candidate as Nlings now
are.

The twin cities of mournful destiny
were both engulfed at the same time
August, 79 A. d. The reason why
Herculaneum has not been excavated
to the same extent as Pompeii is ow-
ing to the fact that it was covered
with a much harder material than was
Pompeii; the dust predominating in
Pompeii. while the lava prevailed over
Herculaneum. There is not much
doubt about the eventual opening up
of both cities. Human curiosity, to,
gether with the demands of history
and science, will not rest until Her.
culaneum has been made to tell its
secrets. 1t is unlikely, however, that
there will be much new knowledge
gained from it's excavation, but little
more than has already come to us
from Pompeii.

WILL PROTECT THE PUBLIC'S
RIGHTS

Outside of the few who are so gov
erned by passion or prejudice that they
cannot think clearly, there can be
nothing short of hearty commentator
for the attitude taken by Gov Brown
relative to public disorder in the event
of further strikes on transportation
lines.
The imperative duty of the state is
to preserve peace, to prevent violence,
to check and repress any inclination
to destroy property or take life. A
government that refuses to do these
things fails in tbs first and most i'm
portant duty, is puerile and only wor-
thy of contempt
1t is not the province of the state,
ordinarily, to interfere in labor trou-
bles beyond this protection of the
public peace But, as Gov. Brown en-
phatically states, the interests Of the
public are too great for the state to
rema n idle while the daily life OF
its people is so seriously affected. He
intimates that if a railroad strike i'm
perils the rights of the public, then
it is the duty of the state to step in
and preserve and protect those gifts.
No one has better put it than has Geor-
gias chief executive in his recent
words:
mo more must her commerce be
paralyzed by agencies working outside
of her prescribed process for their own
ends. This had been done twice; but
the public interest, public policy and
the states regard for her own laws
will enforce an immediate Thou shalt
mott if there be another attemut to
tie up the peoples transportation ia
cilities to force a desired settlement
between labor and capital. The state
needs both; yet she WILL if needs be,
curb both or either. 1t must be I'M
derstood that she is supreme. Her
process controls. No grade and no
shade of lynch law will she tolerate.
Now, in ali that have said, | have
passed no judgment on the merits OF
the differences between the railroads
and the employees. l say not which is
wrong, or which, if either, is right.
Their differences do not constitute the
real issue which has been the logical
result of the recent happenings. That
issue is found in the questions Shall
the laws of Georg be equally en-
forced or shall one class of the peO-
pie be permitted to ignore the courts
and infiict, it may be irreparable dam
age upon multitudes of others in its
quarrel with it's adversary, while all
other citizens must submit Their con
tentions to the determination of the
courts of the state?"
Just here let me say that l know
these utterances will not be popular
with some classes of our fellow citi-
Zens. But | was not e ected by the
people to so hedge my words and acts
as to make a popular administration.

A CASE OF REACTION
BY JEROME FOLEY.

Were you sick yesterday" asked
the tall commuter as his neighbor set
tied into his accustomed seat in the
smoker.
We'll" said the neighbor as he sat
down rather carefully and drew out
bis pipe, Il wasn't really sick. l had
what my grandfather used to call a
crick in my back but it was an oblig-
ing 'crick' and disappeared about 10
o'clock.
And then" said the tall COM
muter, you just hung around all
day."
mo, I didn't; I really had a fine
day." returned the ex-invalid. 81
don't remember having felt as salts
fed with myself in long time as
did last night. 1t was a pure case of
virtue having its own reward, too!
did something for somebody else"
"You talk like the hero of a Rollo
book" said the tall commuter, "and if
you keep it up I'm going in the next
car"
His hearer grinned. 'On the level,
I had a bully time. l gave my little
girl a present. present there was
no reason she should have got"
you don't have to have a reason
70 give child present" grumbled
the tall commuter. 1.-THE child herself
is reason enough"
"Well-perhaps-" assented the
other, but nevertheless nine people
out of ten have reason for giving
even child present. 1t is Christ
mas or it is Easter, or it is the child's
birthday, or the child has been sick
and you give it present because it
was decent enough to get well and
not blight your remaining days by dy-
ing on you. ANY of these are legiti-
mate reasons for giving children pres
ents, but didn't resort to any Of
them.
IF your little girl got as much out
of the present. as you seem to have
done, she is lucky" said the tall COM
muter
1T was this way" said the bearer
of gifts. Her doll fell and fractured
it's face beyond hope of recognition.
1t had been a handsome doll in its
day. One of Santa's choices prod
ucts, and the howl Hope sent up as
she gazed on the fragments of it's
SNUG waxen face would curdle your
blood Now the usual mode of pro-
cedure when little girl has been be-
reft of a really handsome doll is to
tell her how soon it will be Christ
teenth of the month. My wife did
both"
Did she bite?" asked the tall com
muter.
Not so you could notice it," said
his friend, land then had my inspira-
ton. went right down to the village
and bought her the most stylish thing
in wax you ever laid your eyes on, and
| hadn't waited for Christmas, or New
Years, or the Fourth of July. either.
You did the hadsome thing, l must
admit, said the tall commuter. gen.
erously, land l suppose the younger
daughter was pleased"
Pleased" said the proud parent.
PLEASED doesn't express it. No other
doll ever got the reception accorded
this one. wouldn't have missed buy
ing it for farm. Well, we're in the
station"
so we are" agreed the other. Say
| guess I'll bring my boy home a pair
Of ball-bearing roller skates tonight
instead of waiting for his birthday.
No reason why all the coed feeling
should stay at your end of the block,

Japan will colonize tract of 100,.
900 acres in Brazil, where will be
operated great rice plantations. Spe-
cial privileges have been secured from
the government of Brazil, such as the
payment of the travelling expenses of
the colonists, and that no duty will
be charged for FIVE years. A capital
of nearly 100000 is being raised.
Half of this sum will be used. By the
end of four years it is expected that
the colony will number 1000 families.
Three hundred families, numbering
about 1000 persons, will be sent first.
BY January next the first party Of
colonists will start for their new
home.

Common Sense.

Senator Cummins said in political
argument in a Des Moines club:
"a little common sense would do
wonders here. It's astonishing what
common sense will accomplish. We
ought to rely more on it.
"In a trial one day there was a dis
pute as to whether a certain woman
was drunk or insane. A witness tes-
tilted that she was drunk. But the
cross-examining lawyer, sneering at
this witness, growled:
"'You are no alienist, no mind eX-
pert. Yet you dare to claim that you
can tell the difference between in
sanity and drunkenness%
Sure said the witness.
"'How?' scoffed the lawyer.

There was tamu't in the attic,
There was bedlam down below
And the sound of children weeping.
And a grumbling deep and low,
For the dust IN clouds was flying,
And the air was dark with bloom,
As the storm grew loud and louder
With its terrifying boom!
Here and there a man lay painting,
Overcome, and faint and weak,
Crouching down in abject terror,
Daring not to move or speak;
Stout the hearts that brayed the bat
tie,
Feared not sword or deadly gun,
Yet they stood like arrant towards,
Tempted to break and rum
Here and there were frightened Chi
dren,
Laugh ng, bowling, as they roam
Running loose among the wreckage
OF that one-time happy home;
While the women, pale and haggard,
Faces set and locks astray,
Stormed with brush, and broom, and
buster,
On that awful Cleaning Day!
Puck.
