New York,

Prospects for spirited campaign in
New York this year brighten Things
do not look as one-sided as they did
some months ago. The democrats are in
better spirits than at that time.
In all probability Gov. Glynn will be
nominated to succeed himself. When
sworn in he declared himself without
| aspirations of that kind He asked sup
port in office only on the score of a de-
sire to pull matters together after the
Sulzer fiasco. That accomplished, he
would be ready to retire to private life
again.
But he has been doing so well in that
line. or at any rate has been pleasing
leading men in his party SO well, he
looms large for next autumn's leaders ship.
Democrats are asking themselves. Where
could We find a better man for our pur-
pose?"
Very significant also is the fact that
Chairman McCombs of the democratic
national committee turns up Glynn man
He has just visited the governor ut Al
bany. and is praising him highly. He
will Cooperate with him in the coming
campaign. not only for the election of a
democratic state ticket, but of members
of the next House pledged to the Wilson
policies.
This means that Gov. Giynn will receive
the support of the national administra-
ton. In an interview given some weeks
ago the governor did not seem to be
bidding for that He objected to the
suggestion that he should steer by Mr..
Wilson's chart AS he put the matter,
he fa;1
Mr.. Wilson's kite.
But 1t is not possible to read anything
else into Chairman McCombs' call on and
praise of Gov. Glynn but working terms
between the national administration and
the state administration. Business
sticks out very plainly. and Chairman
McCoInbs is correct In his appraisement
AS matters now stand, Gov. Glynn is the
logical man to lead his party in New
York this year.
But how will Mr.. Hearst like the ar
rangement? How, will it affect his sena-
torial plans. assuming that the report of
his candidacy is true? He has no work
ing arrangement with the Wilson admin
istration. and shows no disposition to
negotiate any. So far. he has had only
censure for it. Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.
Bryan are under his dispieasure.
With Gov. Glynn, however, he Is on
excellent terms. He is supporting him
most cordially, and it would appear in
order for Gov. Glynn to return the favor
But the governor cannot be both a Will
son man and Hearst man. If he is to
be happy with one of the dear charmers,
he must send the other away. Which one
for the discard?
1t would not be New York situation
IL II were not complex. and on that ac-
count very interesting. The game is
rarely played there in plain and simple
fashion.

United States today shorn of those
| boundaries?
Mr.. Seward was as little deferred by
his critics. Feeling sure he was right
he went ahead. He saw what was hid
den from ordinary eyes in the frozen
waste. and now everybody sees it. He
got a bargain. The seven millions he
paid for Alaska look now like 30 cents
Were any foreign government to propose
purchase to US. and a sale decreed by
public sentiment, what price would be
put on the property?
When these facts are considered
should not our public men who favored
taking over Hawaii and Porto Rico when
those islands were issues feel comforta.
Bile? VIII not the future sustain their
judgment? When the Panama canal be-
gins to demonstrate it's Importance and
AFFECT the worlds commerce, will not our
island In the Atlantic and our islands in
the .Pacific-both situated on lines of
great value to us-become almost price
less possessions? Undoubtedly.
The man of Imagination needs nerve to
support it. Both Mr.. Jefferson and Mr..
Seward possessed both Imagination and
nerve. and the combination insures the
permanency of their fame. They had
great opportunities. and improved them
The purchase Of the Louisiana territory
is the tallest feather In Mr.. Jefferson s

Alaska was his greatest performance
there.

Cancer and Its Remedies.
From the philadelphia Press


Are We on the verge of discovering
the long-sought cure for cancer. one of
the most terrible of the physical
scourges from which man has suffered?
What the answer to that question
means may best be realized by recall
ing the estimate of authorities that one
person in every ten in the United States
over fifty years of age suffers from
cancer. The attention of the whole
world is fixed today on the possibility
that radium may cure this dread dis
ease. Scientists are wisely conserva-
tive in speaking of results. Such re-
medal effects as have already been Sc
cured. they point out, have been secured
only in superficial cases, and they en-
phasize the fact that only in the earli-
est stages of superficial cancer has
relief been secured. 1t is yet to be
demonstrated that even this relief is
permanent. 1t is also to be borne In
mind that the whole worlds supply of
the precious metal is so comparatively
Observation-Disclosures are only two grams
of 1t at present available in this coun-
try-that it Is impossible for more than
very small number of cancer suffer-
ers to receive the treatment

Comparison.

I'm glad I'm not a congressman"
Said Miegleton MCGEE.
THE toll which for each day l plar
Is quite enough for me.
Up to my desk at morn 1 sit.
At noon my lunch 1 take,
And then until it's time to quit
/ bravely stay awake.
"A congressman may never know
Just when for work he's due.
He darcs not falter or be slow.
His joys are very few.
To make u speech he studies hard.
When he has shown his skill,
They say, Reel off another yard;
There's yet more time to kill.''

The Mexican Peril.
From the New York Times.

That Villas forces, however in
creased, will ever reach the city Of
case public sentiment supported the
revolution. While he would never have
been chosen to lead patriotic revolt
against a despotism. before he took to
the field. his few inconsiderable vic
tories won the support of the great
body of Mexican business men and
made his triumph thereafter easy. He
was known as a man Of principle and
high ideals. Villa, like his fellow-rebel
in the south. Zapata, Is bandit with
no idea Of government. Surely the mil
lions Of Intelligent Mexicans engaged
in the trades and industries must COM
bine to make common cause against
the lawless forces that are threatening
to destroy their country.

Slowly Gaining Momentum.

T rom the FfttbDuTgu FUst.
There appears abundant evidence of
the steady gain in momentum of business
in the country over the past week. There
are no longer heard the reports of cur
tailment Of production in iron and steel,
nor In wool goods, nor staples Of any
kind. On the other hand word comes
of mills resuming. factories putting on
larger forces of help, with a general dis
position to get into action. Delayed
orders for manufactured products have
been coming out.

Our War Equipment.
| From the Detroit News.

Gen. Leonard Wood makes an almost
startling revelation Of the military weak
ness of the United States In its land de-
lenses. Here we have been fiuttering
like a moth about the fame OF possible
war for many months while certain in
terests have insisted that we were IN
duty bound to take the Mexican republic
across our knee and spank it into state
of acute sensibility as to its political
duty. Most of those who have urged
this policy had no thought of selling
a musket and rushing into the thick OF
the fight. Rather would they remain In
the rear and profit through the furnish
ing of supplies.
But Gen. Wood informs US that we
lack the guns and the ammunition to
make even a good Fourth Of July cele-
bration.

The stores are already beginning

The woman who expects to keep
posted to the minute must be an

She must avail herself of the
service her favorite newspaper

1t is the best fashion news in
the world because it is based on
actual merchandise and not on
