obey the impressive voice which has
called democrats to the colors.
Will the President and Mr.. Bryan
copy this example? They are demo-
Gratis, and as such have received the
support of democrats in their candi-
dacies for office. When certain demo-
Gratis bolted Mr. Bryan's nomination
for President In 1896 he read them a
lecture about party duty. He denied
that they had right to set them
selves up in opposition to their party's
decree regularly rendered
If it shall turn out that Mr.. Sullivan
wins In November. he and Mr.. Lewis
should do good team work in the Sem
ate. They are very unlike in tastes
and equipment. and cannot, therefore,
become rivals. Mr.. Sullivan Is not an
orator: Mr.. Lewis Is. Mr.. Sullivan will
not care to shine in the Senate on
field DAYS Mr.. Lewis could not escape
the limelieht II he tried. Both men
are good politicians. but have different
methods.
But Mr.. Sullivan's fight for election
will be very different from that for the
nomination. He seems to have had
his own way in the primaries. Not
unlikely, Mr. Brvan's open opposition
helped him. Mr.. Sullivan's friends re-
scented the interference of an outsider
in family DISPUTE, and worked the
harder for their leader.
But now comes the tussle with the
republicans. and their candidate is a
strong man Of proved senatorial size.

The Illinois Senatorship.

Respecting the nomination of Roger
Sullivan, Senator Lewis says:
Il was one of those who felt that
the nomination of Mr.. Sullivan. or any
other Chicago man. for the Senate was
politically unwise. The democratic
voters of the state. however, answered
this by choosing Mr.. Sullivan. He is
now the nominee of the democratic
party, and the democrats of Illinois
must give him their united. loyal and
victorious support"
Spoken like q frank man and a loyal
party man.
Naturally, Mr.. Lewis wanted the
democracy to find its candidate in
another part of the state. A second
senator from the city OF Chicago might
not. he could see inure to his own
benefit in his meditated campaign for
Endorsement. The geographical ques-
ton enters in nearly all the states into
the senatorial equation. II Mr.. Sulli.

Mr.. Roosevelt in Good Spirits.

Mr. Roosevelt has returned home from
Louisiana delighted with his reception
and greatly encouraged for bull mooserS
In the Pelican state. He expects the eiec-
ton of a bull moose cand' date or two for
Congress this year, and predicts that the
state will be found in the bull moose
column two years hence
It is q fact that the democrats of Lou
isiana-not only those who cultivate sug-
ar cane, but those connected with them
In business-feel unfriendly toward the
Wilson administration. whose course in
the matter Of sugar has been destructive
They had a campaign promise that such
should not be the case; that the interests
of sugar would be considered and pro-
tected.
In the sugar belt of the state this I'M
friend1iness is very pronounced, and has
taken the form of bull moose movement
In the congressional races. The democ-
racy may lose one or two districts, though
such a result would not of itself help
sugar, or strengthen the national bull
moose cause.
But 1916 is different proposition. The
democratic state organization in LOUISE
ana is strong. and in full control OF the
elections machinery. In the presidential
contest It will of course use all the power
that this control gives. The party label
will add to the advantage. and Louisiana
Notwithstanding the administration rec
ord on sugar, will again vote for Wilson
and Marshall
Mr. Roosevelt's heart was warmed by
what he saw and heard. The crowds were
large; the applause hearty; the social at
tentions all he desired. AS man they
like him down that way. His dash and
snap and inexhaustible vigor appeal to
the young men of all parties and classes
But manifestations of such appreciation
do not always spell votes on election day.
Sometimes they are very disappointing on
that score II Mr.. Roosevelt's own ex-
pertence has not taught him as much, let
him consult Mr.. Bryan. whose expert
ence has been considerable and bitter.
Probably no candidate for great Of
fee who had appealed for votes from the
stump was ever more surprised than Mr..
Bryan after election day in 1896. He had
thrown the middle states. the northwest
and the near west into a fever of en-
thusiasn by a series Of rafting stump
speeches, and gone home confident that
the enormous crowds he had addressed
would, to q man, vote for him. But they
did not. Curiosity had drawn many, and
appreciation of popular oratory had PRO-
duced much of the shouting. The voting
told another story

there will be no victory until the invading

Nor, on the other hand is 1t to be deduc-
ed from the fact that the Russians have
begun a retrograde movement in East

onset by the Germans, that the cars

But an explanation from another
source is that Mr.. Osborn having failed
to reduce Tammany's power is dis
couraged and disguised, and wants no
further connection onicially with the
situation.
Why should Mr.. Osborn have felt him.
self competent to reduce Tammany's
power in democratic politics? And what
was his plan for making up the loss?
Tammany's strength is a matter of fact
and has often been demonstrated. When
in fettle the organization is the most
potent democratic factor in the state.
It is the hope Of the party in state
contests. and in national contests when
New York appears in the democratic
column the credit Is due, though not
always paid. to Tammany.
The time may come-though 1t does
not seem near at hand-when the hugger-
mugger about Tammany will break
down. The reputation of the organiza-
ton is well established and most un-
savory. Those who train with 1t and
accept the fruits Of its activity at the
polls cannot be in doubt about the
nature Of what they accept. or dead to
the obligations they incur. 1t Is a
recognized fact in politics that the Ia
borer is worthy Of his hire. and 'fre-
quently demonstrated fact that Tam
many after a campaign Of hard work
wants pay.
Whatever the result Of the primary.
however attractive the democratic state
timket may be in its personnel. the
ticket will depend for success at the
polls on Tammany. A campaign with
Tammany sulking would give the state
to the republicans overwhelmingly. So
that whoever is chosen to succeed Mr..
Osborn and conduct the campaign for
the democracy must take full account OF
Tammany. and work with It in the bonds
of sympathy and mutual helpfulness. If
he is reformer or uplifter he will have
to stoop to conquer.

Boarding Rural
School Teachers,

which has been impressed upon the
minds of state leaders in all parts Of
the country in recent years, and now the
experts under Commissioner P. P. Clax-
ton Of the United States bureau of edu-
cation come forward with a new truth:
THAT if a rural community wants to
must see that she or he is able to get
a good boarding place."
'Too often the rural teacher finds it
almost impossible to secure fit boarding
accommodations" says the commission
er of education. well qualified teachers
will not stay in place where boarding
conditions are poor: they will stay only
until they have attained the teaching
experience required to qualify them for
village or city school work.
LAS a rule, communities which provide
congenial living conditions secure and
hold good teachers, while those not do
ing so must take the poorer teachers,
with the result that their schools are in
efficient and ineffective and that the
children do not acquire the interest In
the school work that they should and
might At this time Of the year. there
fore, county superintendents should set
the machinery in motion to see that the
best home in their district Is obtained
for a boarding place for the teacher.
1.-THE question Of the rural teachers
boarding place is a serious one and de.
serves serious consideration. The best
home in the district should throw its door
wide open and bid the teacher welcome.
The best home is none too good for the
teacher whose heart and soul Is in her
work, In many states now there are
county superintendents who make it as
much a part of their work to find the
teacher a fit boarding place as to find
the teacher for the school. Many good
patrons will refuse an application for
board from the teacher herself who
, would consider it a signal honor to be
automatically solicited by the county su-
perintendent In behalf Of the teacher.
Either the best homes must be opened as
boarding places or cottages must be built
at public expense for homes for the
teacher" RAYMOND W. PULLMAN.
