Political Activity EHerYwhere.

During the week the convention of the New York
Republicans at Saratoga, the primaries in Nebraska
and Georgia and the tour of Roosevelt through
Maine have been the principal political events
In New York, where Roosevelt was endeayoring
to slip away from the Progressives and effect a
combination with the Republicans, the loyalty of
Human to the Republican party has caused change
in Roosevelt's plans. He is now compelled to lead
the sadly dwindling ranks of his followers, but he
is to be adviser the side lines where he can
not get hurt, and not candidate for the guberna-
toral nomination, which would result in his defeat
The Progressives cannot now hide their diminished
strength by interminglng with the Republicans, so
that their exact numbers will be made evident at
the primaries. If, in the meantime, the Suzer boom
for the Progressive nomination should gain any
Roadway the Republicans can afford to smile.

PIucking the Naval PIueking Board.

The preposterous decision Of the naval plucking
in its true light by the report of the House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs The board had ample op-
portunity before the committee to support the re-
hrement of Capt Gibbons with some approach to
reason and the record 1t did nothing Of the kind,
Tor the simple reason, apparently, that there was
nothing whatever in the record to account for its
findings. The absurd criticisms offered that Capt
Gibbons had seen insufficient sea duty and had mot
contributed to the progress of the navy are effect
ualiy disposed of by the committee report.
The first duty of Congress is to restore Capt
Gibbons TO the active list Its next duty will be to
replace the piucking board by some institution at
least capable of logical thought and not wholly de-
void OF sense of justce.-New York Tribune.

There Is no doubt but that the special
interests and monopolists and the news
papers under their control win do all
that misrepresentation and falsehood can
do TO convince the real farmers that Mr..
Bailey's land tax" would be a special
burden on them; but their lands are Of
little value. ahd probably not 10 per cent
OF such tax would fall on them, while at
least 90 per cent would fan on monopo-
lists who hold land out OF use.
A sugar tax would be a great burden
on the poor, and 80 per cent would be
gathered from them. while the land value
tax would tax monopoly, increase pro-
duetion, raise wages, lower prices. and
reduce poverty. c. B. HEMINGWAY.

Some gastronomic historians have held
that the popularity and price Of wines
depends less upon the intrinsic merits
than upon the prestige Of national sue

OF France gives such tremendous
prestige to champagne and claret. The

countries like Spain, Italy and Greece to
press the merits Of their superior wines

War of Annihilafion.

Count Witte says cheerfuly that the war will
last two or three months. Lord Kitchener saws
eighteen. Stephen Pchon French editor SAYS it
will be long war. 1t all depends upon the rate

and Germany it is actually struggle for national
