Now. no further back than 1S0,

onerOus to a degree that made the
accumulation Of savings impossible.
Resistance was put down with a
bloody hand. The Filipinos had no
rights that any Spanish official was

slaves and pawns. and the light Of
education was denied the great body
Of the people.

In California the political cauldrOn
Is always boiling over, and 1t has
been the hope Of the Democratic poll
ticians that Mr.. HUGHEs would get
his fingers scalded when he went
there. Things are very much mixed
up In the State where Colonel ROosE.
vELr as the Progressive candidate for
President received a plurality Of ia
four years ago. In 1914 HIRAM JOHN
SON. Progressive, was elected Cover.
nor by a plurality Of 1888 1905. but the
straight Republican candidate polled
1890 votes. the Democrat running
n poor third. The women had begun
to vote.
In the same year the Democratic
candidate for United States Senator.
JAMES DUAL PHELAN, pulled through
with n plurality Over FRANCIS J.
HENEY, Progressive, Of c4,G64. the Re
publican candidate getting only 1913
less votes than HENEY. who Is now
supporting President WILSON. Here
was a cas Of Progressive and Repub-
lican running neck and neck. the Pro-
gressive afterward going over bag md
baggage to the Democratic camp. The
situation defies the analyst. How
a Progressive Ose he counted with
precision in California to-day? All
that n be said with confidence Ia
that HIRAM JOHNSON Is Eclipse and
the rest are nowhere. He resents the
name Of political boss. but indisputa-
bly, his is the most powerful personal
ity In the Golden State. Judged by
his influence the P~rogressives might
expect to run Mr.. HUGHEs's campaign
themselves; but JOHNSON Is moi the
Progressive party. and II the vote for
Senator he taken as Il test there were
two years ago about as many organi-
Zation Republicans as Progressivcs In
California. Since Mr.. HuGHEs's nOmi-
nation. which both Colonel ROOSEVELT
and Governor JOHNSON have indOrsed,
n new count would undoubtedly show
that the Republicans are considerably
In the lead.
That the P~rOgressives should he
well represented In the management
Of the Republican candidates cam
paign Mr.. HuGHEs himself has prob
ably intimated. but he Is wise not to
take sides in any local quarrel. The
national issue OF defeating President
WILSON and restoring the Government
to the Republican party should not be
complicated with the feud between the
Republicans and the P%rOgressives in
the State. Mr.. HUGHES went to Cali
fOrnia to discuss national questions
and let the people take his measure.
He has found himself confronted with
absurd matters Of precedence, and
attempts have been made to entangle
him In puerile union labor disagree
ments. With his usual dignity and
common sense Mr.. HUGHES has held
himself aloof. He is really not cor.
cerned, and that must he the feeling
among sensible Republicans and Pro-
gr~essives. Any attempt to involve
him in the local political rows will
react upon the )schemers. We fancy
that most Of them T. Democrats.

In case cattle on reaching; here have not been dipped at all the;' will have to be dipped twice, the sec ond dipping being ten days after the first. The shipper will have to pay for feeding during those ten days. This is one reason why each .neighborhood should have a vat of its own for the first dipping.

 The Arkansas Route.
 The Arkansas route, the route from Joplin to Shreveport, will save some hundreds of miles from Winnipeg to New Orleans. It will offer everything the tourist could desire in the way of scenic beauty.
