1t this way: 1t is told somewhere in

Alexander the Great, or some other
commander in history was strolling
around one evening and came upon
a soldier doing picket duty. The
soldier was attending to something
outside the line Of duty, hts mind
not very closely on his work, So
when the commander demanded Of
him peremptorily the password, he
was Illustrated and scared to panic.

SOME THoUdHrs ON THE UPLTFT

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE UPLIFT
Our esteemed western contsmpor-
airy. the Topeka Capital. has the fol-
lowing pertinent personal note Of a
turn for the better within its edi-
torial circle OF friends. 1t says:
1--WE note with pleasure that our
friend. Ike Gilbert, has abandoned
the upIift and will hereafter devote
himself to the business Of making
living. 1t won't hurt the uplift and
will help Ike"
One OF the things ailing this coun-
try at present is the activity in It
of too many people who belong to
the professional uplifting class. If
1t only stopped there 1t might not
be so bad. But the mischief lies In
the fact that these people generally
operate on the underlying assump-
ton that the rest of their fellow
citizens owe them living, and a
good living at that, while they are
engaged in self-appointed occupa-
ton OF a nonproductive sort. The
Ike Gilbert type is duplicated all
over the country, as result of a
period Of discomfort, of agitation
against the existing order of things,
and still more fundamentally as a
result of the so-called higher edu-
cation which young men and wo-
men are getting in many of our in
situations of learning.
That old disciplinary order of
training which aimed at mental fl
bre, knowledge of fact and grasp
of principle, has given place to the
study of problems" the methods
of investigating "social conditions"
and the remedies for every sort of
i'll man has been heir to in all the
ages. The result is mass of half
baked measures in municipal, state
and federal legislatures, by which
those who are earning a living are
to be burdened with furnishing the
means Of improving the lot Of those
who are not. This Is wholly outside
Of existing agencies for helping the
needy.
The sooner we get back to the
primal fact in human classification,
that the professional uplifter, in
nine cases out of ten, is loafer,
the better it will be for the heart
and the head as well as the purse
of the country and its taxpayers

BUMPTIoUs CALIFORNIA.

! The latest advices are that Mr.
Bryan's visit to California has been
only partially successful and that
the legislation against the Japs will
be only slightly modified. It was
not an edifying spectacle-the ma
tional government having to- beg Q
state to keep within the treaty laws
Of the nation.
California wants all the protec-
ton and advantages her forty-seven
partners can give her; but she has
no respect for their convenience and
safety where her own comfort is
concerned. She is self-conscious, in
fact, lacking the easy certainty good
breeding and habit alone can give.
She is the parvenu among the states
continually making mistakes, not
from ill-will or bad faith, but from
her anxiety to show that she is as
good as anybody else, which, as US
ual, defeats its own end.
A small fraction of one per cent
of the cultivated fruit area of Cali
fornia is owned by certain Japanese.
Their number is absolutely negligi-
BILE, but their presence is distaste-
full to politicians of the Sand lots
variety.
! OF course the Jap adds to the
wealth of California, and would con-
tinue to do so, even if he RENTED
every penny of his savings to Japan.
But he has exactly those virtues
most repUlsive to the California pol
itician, who is about the cheapest
variety of the breed. 1t is conse-
uuently popular there to talk flub-
, dub about the white mans coun-
| try and the vices of the Monaghan,
whatever they may be. For the mo-
ment the United States government
is down on its knees to California,
and Mr.. Roosevelt, with his usual
dexterity. is trying to show that he
can obtain concessions not granted
to the president Of the United States
This is all wrong. California is q
partner in our business and must act
up to her responsibilities.
What seems to be needed is for
the rest Of the country to take heI
by the seruff Of the neck and shake
some deeency into her.

THE FIRST FRUITS.

Woonsocket, r. l., April 29.--
Fear of the effect of the proposed
tariff changes is given by officials
of the Nashville Wooden Mills at
Nashville for voluntary receiver
ship proceedings which were begun
today. The mills manufacture wor-
sted goods and employ 125 hands.
Augustine H. Eddy, president OF
the company, made the following
statement:
ION account of the proposed tariff
changes we fear that the business
cannot be run with any profitable
results and a petition for dissolution
has been filed. At the beginning OF
the present year we had a surplus
of $50, 507. How much of that Will
remain to be divided depends en-
tirely on the success Of the liquida-
ton. Associated Press Dispatch!

1t seems to Re the misfortune OF
the Progressives to oppose a major
ity of congress on the subject of the
tariff whenever 1t comes up. These
men fought every inch of the way
against the schedules in the Payne
Aldrich bill, because they were too
high. Now they announce that the
Democratic bill is altogether too
low. Maybe they think they know
more than the other S9S members
about tariff.

Decidedly the funniest things in
the tariff bill as it now stands are
free flour and 10 cents a bushel
tax on wheat. AS there are five
bushels of wheat in a barrel Of flour
this means a tax of so cents a bar
rel on flour. 1t is figured that
Argentine wheat can be shipped to
Europe, milled and sent into New
York, and push back the flour trade

board. Minnesota is sending the

"GET TOGETHER. /"

Again the cry Of Get Together"
is raised for Republican and Pro-
gressive ears to hear. Not long ago
1t was Frank A.. Munsey making
the appeal through his New York
Press. Now it is d. r. Hanna
through his Cleveland Leader.
Mr.. Munsey, it will be remember
ed, was the largest contributor in
the east to the Roosevelt campaign
fund and certainly is one of the
Progressive leaders. Mr.. Hanna
contributed $177,OO0 to the Roose-
welt campaign fund and the Leader
was one Of the original Bull Moose
organs and made a strong fight for
the ticket In Ohio.
Mr.. Hanna's Leader approves the
action of the Republican members
of the Ohio Assembly who, in Sc
cret session, after the sine die ad-
journment of the legislature Tues
day. arranged to call peace con-
ference of Republicans in Ohio to
make proposals to the Progressives
for merger of the two parties.
This shows that the Ohio call
comes from the Republicans of the
state and that at least one of the
Progressive leaders is convinced that
it is well worth listening to.
The Inter Ocean will not here at
tempt to set forth the basis on
which the Republicans and Progress
sives should get together. But that
the Republicans and Progressives
must get together on some basis be-
fore the next presidential election
is perfectly plain.
President Wilson said in his pub
lie address at Newark, N. j., Thurs
day:
"The country did not go Demo-
cratih in November. 1t was impos-
sible to go Republican because 1t
could not tell which kind of Re
publican to CO."
That tells the whole story OF the
last election-and will tell the whole
story OF the next election unless the
two kinds Of Republicans will get
together.
With the Republicans still divid-
ed, each kind will butt its head up
against stone wall and the Demo-
Gratis will be continued in power.
With the two kinds of Republi-
cans reunited, the Democrats will
be showed under, for the simple rea-
son that they are in the minority in
this country.
Get together on some basis-but
get Observation-Disclosures.
