Western Tornadoes.

The tornado season in the west has
begun with series of tragedies in
Kansas and Missouri. fourteen lives
having been lost in those two states
in twenty-four hours during storms
that also destroyed property over A
wide area. At one point in Kansas
more than 10000 acres of wheat were
ruined. These annual visitations are
beyond all possibility of control or
check. Some attempt has been made
in the west particularly in what was
once known as the cyclone belt. to
build along lines of greatest safety.
but no architectural precautions seem
to avail against the heavy storms that
form in summer and sweep with un-
checked violence across the prairies
The people. if sufficient warning is
given. take to their cyclone cellars
and let the storm rage as it will,
emerging on its abatement in many
cases only to find the property they
have accumulated after years of toi!
swept away beyond any possibility of
redemption. Still, as in the case of
the dwellers upon volcano sides and
in earthquake regions. they persist.
and in most instances Immediately
proceed to rebuild. The very dan
gers seem to hold them to the soil.
Since the west has become more
thickly populated and cities have de-
veloped from villages. the damage is
at times much greater than in former
years. 1t is to be hoped that the
storms of this week do not presage
a season of exceptional violence in
that part of the country.

A Dollar a Family,

Why should there be any hesitation
about giving to the Fourth of July
fund.- Is it because there is general
dissent from the safe and sane
method of observing Independence
day? Do the people of Washington
want to abandon the present practice
of commemorating the national birth
day and go back to the old barbaric
customs of few years ago. when
children were killed annually by the
score in this country and hundreds
of permanent injuries were inflicted
and vast damage was done to prop
erty by FIRE and explosion:
independence day was redeemed
from its noise and destruction by
official measures which expressed the
popular wish. 1t was considered that
something was necessary to replace
the former unregul lated. meaningless,
individual indulgence in powder burn
ing and to give the observance Of the
day some significance. Consequently.
through the voluntary efforts of citi-
zens' committees. celebrations were
arranged which partook of the for
mer method of powder burning, but
kept it under control. and further
more added features of a patriotic
character. Such program, with
novelties. is planned for this year,
and in its execution it will cost about
$1,000
1t has been proposed to ask each
family to subscribe 81 to the public
fund to defray this expense. In for
mer times each family in the District
spent far more than 81 for fireworks,
and many of them spent much greater
sums in doctors bills and hospital
charges as result of the injuries in
licted in the course of unrestrained
powder burning. The dollar that is
asked of each family should be given
cheerfully and promptly as an ex-
preston of gratitude for the preserva-
ton of Washington childhood from
the perils of the Fourth as it was
formerly Celebrated"

messed failure such as the country
had seldom seen. The administra-
ton came to an end amid the exc
crations of himself and his friends.
and he subsequently denounced it as
"a bunco game His first candidacy
for the presidency was in rebuke OF
that administration. Bryanism sup
planted Clevelandism as the shibbo-
leth of the democracy.
But. Notwithstanding that disap-
pointment. Mr.. Bryan still hoped. He
was the star stumper three years ago
in a campaign conducted on the
promise that democratic success at
the polls would insure revision of
the tariff, reducing the cost of living
and stimulating to all business: re-
duction of the amount for the sup
port of the government without IN
jury to the public interests by three
hundred million dollars annually;
new trust regulations putting the cap
stone on the previous performances
of Congress, and a currency law
which from the outset would remedy
every currency i'll.
The result we all know. The cost
of living is higher than ever; allow
ances for the support OF the govern
ment are larger than ever: the new
trust regulations are called the law
yers' delight inviting, as they do. to
litigation, while the new currency law
is moving at a snail's pace and As yet
has remedied nothing.
But Mr.. Bryan will pick his ora
torical flint and try again. He is far
from being hopeless. Next year will
find him in his usual fettle, asking for
votes on the most resonant OF
guarantees.

about as they have been. Where he
is an unskilled laborer, in town or
city, competition will not be much
greater than before.
But. north and south, the colored
man should bestir himself. The new
times coming will mean much to him.
He is in the land of opportunity. The
great majority of the white people
sympathize with every worthy effort
he makes to better himself as man
and citizen. They view with approval
and satisfaction the progress he has
made in his half century of freedom
and they will help him further along
the road as often as he merits their
assistance.
Prof. Washington's constant ad-
juration to his people is to live good
lives. acquire property. cultivate the
friendship of their white neighbors
and identity themselves as far as
may be with things of the best re-
port where they reside. The crimi-
nal, the drone. the shiftless, the in
competent are a reproach to their
race. and a drag on the community.
And in the whirl and hustle of busi-
ness expected to follow the close OF
the war now raging. the unworthy
of either race in this country will be
more unworthy. because more in the
way, than ever.

Kentucky and Prohibition.

In the mill now in progress in
Kentucky between the prohihitionists
and the anti-prohibitionists the latter
have just won the first round. The
republicans in state convention Tues
day rejected state wide plank offered
for their platform. and accepted one
declaring for the existing county unit
law. by a vote of about twenty-one
hundred to about a hundred and sixty.
This means that the republican candi-
date for governor. who will be nomi-
mated at primary election in August.
will make his campaign on that pres
entation of the drink evil issue.
Present, and leading the small
squad of prohibitionsts, was Judge
O'Rear. who four years ago made the
race for governor on county unit
platform, but has since gone over to
the statewide prohibition side of the
question and recently stumped the
state in that behalf His labors. as
the result in the state convention
showed. were very much in vain But
he accepted the conventions decision.
and will support the ticket
The democrats will not hold their
state convention until after the Au-
gust primary: but there is every rea-
son to believe that when their time
comes they too will declare for the
county unit as against statewide pro-
hibition. Thus both of the old
parties will stand on and by and for
the law now on the books
Senator Beckham has been can
vassing in company with Judge
O'Rear for statewide prohibition,
and will probably attend the demo-
cratic convention as a delegate. per-
forming the part in that body Judge
O'Rear did in the republican body.
Presumably. too, he will accept defeat
in the O'Rear spirit and bow to the
will of the convention.
There will. however. be a profi-
bition party in the field affording a
resting place for such republicans and
such democrats as may refuse to &C
cept any other than a statewide set
Element OF the drink question Bolt
ing was at one time unknown in
Kentucky, but was introduced in the
state campaign of 1895. when many
gold democrats rejected a silver
candidate for governor. and a re-
publican was elected. The perform
ance was repeated the next year.
when Mckinley won twelve of the
thirteen electoral votes of the state
from Bryan. And since then two
other republicans have been elected
governor. owing to democratic dis
affection over issues and candidates.
Mr.. Bryan, being now foot loose,
will be free to go where he pleases;
but whether the Kentucky campaign
will appeal to him as a stumping
proposition is not known In other
years he has been enthusia stically
welcomed in the state

Mr.. Bryan's Confession

In his address last night TO the
graduating class of the Mckinley
Manual Training School, Mr.. Bryan
said:
II used to think when / was
young that if my party could get into
power the government would be per-
feet But I have long since aban-
doned that thought. Our government
is the best form Of government the
mind Of man has conceived, but it is
not perfect. When the democrats are
in power can prove by every re-
publican in the country that the gov
ernment is bad, and when the re-
publicans are in power no proof j.
necessary"
Yes. but hope springs eternal in
the partisan breast Notwithstanding
his experience, Mr.. Bryan has not
despaired Of party government. He
still believes in it. and will continue
to advocate it in the old-fashione d
style OF the party orator Thousands
OF young men. trustful as he once
was. will believe when they listen to
him next year that the good of the
country depends upon the success at
the polls of the ticket he is recon-
mendin2 His eloquent sentences and
earnest delivery will convey the idea
to the uninitiated that perfection is
on the way Thus it is that the hyp-
Noticed becomes in time the hypno-
tizer
Mr.. Bryan's eyes were opened
twenty-odd years ago. He looked for
perfect government from the second
Cleveland administration. and was
elected to Congress to help usher it

The Colored Man and the War

Booker T. Washington, to whom
both races in America are indebted
for an activity in public affairs alto
gether helpful to both, is on one of
his tours delivering addresses on sub
jects in which his race is very much
interested. Speaking to large meet
ings of his own people in New York
and Brooklyn the other day, he said {:
"If you expect to hold your own in
the keen competition of the north
when the war in Europe is over and
immigrants come in again by the
hundreds of thousands and millions.
you have got to take advantage of
every opportunity for better training
offered by the public school system.
and by such organizations as the
Urban League, the Young Mems
Christian Association and the Young
Women's Christian Association"
This advice is all gold. and everv
colored man and woman in the north
should follow it. Everything indi-
Gates heavy immigration from Eu-
rope at the close of the war: and it
will be composed of the poorer class
es-unskilled laborers escaping the
impoverishment that has fallen on
their old homes. America will invite
more strongly than ever.
The colored man in the north is
as rule an unskilled laborer, and
restricted even in that field. Not
many avenues of employment are
open to him. As competition grows,
therefore, he must meet it by greater
INDUSTRY and higher competency, or
go to the wall

not feel this pressure. The tide of
