I Illinois, commonly known as 'J I "Bob!" , A Republican legis I lature so gerrymandered :tho state as to put him Into a .district Republican by 2,200 majority. ?Ibey thought they had finally done tfor Bob, but ' ; ' The best laid plans o mice an men Gang aft agley. just so in this case. Bob was to be rgnowed under, but Bob carried the' dis trict by nearly 300. Bully for Bob! iVell done, Robert! Another caper or two like that and James Robert Wil liams will become a presidential pos sibility. He is able; he is courageous; lie is clean; he is aggressive; he lives in Illinois. Everybody will rejoice at his great victory except the defeated blotters who supposed ana nopea that. they were well rid of him. -pis tri umph shows what may be accom plished by a vigorous and well man aged campaign. . . . Out-Heroding Herod. , ' , No wonder that Senator John C. Spooner's vocal chords gave way. It's i i. -1 : ,1 4- .

He caid and it is most unfortunate for his fame that he said it "If we could lect a good, strong Republican presi dent like Theodore Roosevelt and a strong Republican senate and house for a term of twenty years. It would be better for the country. I believe the demagogic tear up comes too often In this country." Those be strange words to fall from the lips of such a man as Senator John C Spooner of Wisconsin and' shows how fast the Imperialistic idea is making headway In this coun try. Even Alexander Hamilton, the father of the Republican party, the great advocate of an aristocratic 'tea tore la ur governmental system, while he advocated life tenure "for senators advocated only a seven year system for president' Senator Spooner "raises" Alexander at his own game from seven to twenty for "a good, strong. Repub lican president like Theodore Roose velt." Reasonable men will regret that Senator Spooner said that Again Addicks. Once mOTeth G. O. P., which arrogates to itself all purity and sweetness, is illustrated by the condition of affairs in little Dela ware. Through the machinations of Hon. Gas Addicks that state had only one United States senator for two years and has had none at all for the last two years, and now Addicks comes up again, smiling serenely, with the grim determination of having for himself a seat in the senate because, as he as serts, he paid for It and Is entitled to have it He makes no more conceal ment of his boodle operations than he iwould of being a scrub calf in the streets of Wilmington. Unfortunately, most unfortunately, the Democrats; lack one of having a majority on Joint ballot in the legislature. If they had elected one more man to the legislature, they would have elected two United States senators, a ehance which comes to very few legislatures in this world. Just why the Democrats do not unite with the anti-Addicks Republicans, iwho presumably are the more decent of the two factions, and elect one Dem ocrat and one Republican nobody ex7 cept themselves seems to know, or, if the anti-Addicks Republicans are hon-' est in their desire to rid themselves of Addicks, it is hard to understand why, they do not assist the Democrats ta elect two Democratic senators. Republican Boodle. ' Of course the use of boodle In elec tions is all wrong, by whomsoever. practiced (that goes without sayingV tmt just why it is a mortal sin in Dem ocrats and a- matter of jest for. Re publicans to practice It passeth all be) snan understanding. For example, the Washington Post of Nov. 5 'contains this squib: "That noise, which came from the west early yesterday mom ing was caused by Hon. Charles Dick: lamming down the cover of his check book.' Now there, is a facetious ref erence to Republican boodlihg lt& funny in a Republican. Who Is Hon-1 Charles Dick? He is General Charlea Dick, an Ohio Republican Tepresenta tive in congress, chairman of the Ohio Republican state committee, the boson roay and favorite pupil of Senator! Marcus A. Hanna. chairman of the Republican national committee. 11$ General Dick Vas slamming down the over of his checkbook. It follows the night the day that he had had it, open to influence the Buckeye voters1 and if was necessary for boodle t be used la Ohio, which, is generally considered a sure thing for the Repnb I leans, it may be easily Imagined vhaf the Republican owners of checkbooks were dolncr In more doubtful states Kverybodv Is alwavs bowline about the corruption of Tammany, which is bad enough, no doubt bnt rarely is a. word said about the corruption of -the Philadelphia and Pittsburg Republican fiangs, which can give Tammany cards -anct spades and. beat It. Why make flesh of one and.fowl of another? A Gay Deceiver. ihe Beoublican idiots who bet on Missouri going Republican because tho "lobe-Democrat kej?t on fiayipfi It Features f Mr Recent Elections.

The Globe-Democrat based its hopes on. slandering the state and the majority of .her citizens, but the foul slanders reacted on the head-of the, Globes-Democrat and its party. It reiterated time and again in every con ceivable form which its lngenuitv could suggest, that the 'Democrats had taken, stolen and carried away the en tire public school fund, amounting to nearly $4,500,000, when the various school districts were drawing regularly the interest on the school fcinds year by year, and it takes' an awful fool not to know that thieves do not pay inter est on what, they steal. The filnbo. Democrat didot carry the state on its platform of slander, but In all human probability ; it kept several thousand peopije from settling in the state and kept out hundreds of millions of wealth which would have been brought into Missouri but foK its malicious charges. It is a dirty bird that befouls its own nest" Is a saying peculiarly applicable to the Globe-Democrat The Washing ton I'ost, which all alone has made fun of the Globe-Democrat's prophecies of Republican victory In Missouri, says in Its Issue of Nov. 5. "We hasten a forward our sympathy to the valued St Louis Globe-Democrat and suggest that perhaps some other year Missouri may go Republican." Poor old Globe- Democrat! An Unnecessary Handicap. In the recent campaign Democratic nominees had to carry an unnecessary handicap by reason of the jabber of Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama to the effect that it would be a bad thing for the Democrats to have the next house of representatives. By ' such twaddle Senator Morgan intentionally increased the load of every Democratic candidate for congress. The word "in tentionally" is deliberately used, for the law presumes and Senator Morgan is a renowned lawyer that every man intends the results which naturally and Inevitably flow from his own acts or words. Senator Morgan cannot plead inorance, for he is not Ignorant It is very easy Indeed easy as falling off log, and a slippery log at that for man' who is just entering upon a six year term in the senate to say tha some other man of the same faith who is struggling for a" two year t term in the house and against whom no charge of lack of fitness is urged should be de feated. It is an easy thing to do, but a very -ungracious ne. -What woxild Hon. John Tyler Morgan have thought f when he was last up for re-election o the senate the good people of Ala bama had said, "The Democrats should not, control the senate," and had there upon elected a Republican to succeed Morgan? Does anybody believe for one moment that senator Morgan would have been enamored of that the ory? Not a bit of it He would have pawed up the earth and made the wel kin ring with his bellowing. Very much depends on whose ox is gored. The senator, having safely made a comfortable port himself, was willing to see his party brethren sink. Indeed he was willing to help sink them, for that is precisely the effect that his dec larations had on all who were running for congress. By what right did he assume to say that a Democratic house would be det rimental to the party? There are those' by no means obscure Democrats ei therwho believe that some of Senator Morgan's utterances in the senate ana out of it have been more detrimental to the party than a Democratic house would have been. How does Hon. John Tyler Morgan relish that sort of talk? The senator should peruse "Put Your self In His Place." Evidently it would do him good, and the next time 5o Democratic candidates are fighting an uphill battle he may at least be in duced td extend to thera If not a help ing hand at least the charity of nis si lence, if silence is not with him an af ter impossibility. If he must talk dur ing a campaign, he should seek the se- Hnsion of a nrimeval forest and not the society of reporters. Then he $rill do less harm. The President's Status. The signs of the times Indicate that only one man of eminence in the Unit ed States has improved his status this year, and that is President Roosevelt. He is a much more commanding figure now than he was when congress ad journed in July. Then his chances of securlhsr the nomination, to say noth ing of the election, were not more than one out of three. Now they are easily two tni one. Ha may not have a cinch on it but he comes very near it A great opportunity came to him, and he seized it with resolute hand, thereby saving hie party from utter rout iand ruin in the . eastern states. The next house is Republican because, and only because, Theodore Roosevelt settled the m-eat anthracite coal strike, whereas his masterful great rival, Senator Mar cus A, Hanna, tried to settle it and failed. - It ; will be amusing now to. watch the supple Republican courtiers fawn upon Roosevelt the very same Republicans who in July and August v were cursing him under their breath as a "marplot" "bull in the chiaa shop," rtc. "To shout "with the multitude con stitutes the wisdom of this world" Is a bit of cVnical philosophy which the Re publican leaders believe in and act up- in. The world shouts for Colenel Roose velt now, likewise the Republican chief tains. Three months ago they were against him almost to a man and were busy grooming Senator Hanna for the. highest office in the -world. At this time it seems that President Roosevelt has his destiny in his own hands and Unless he does something later on to knock the fat Into the fire will be nomi nated. - -Amazing Cheek. For unadulterated and monumental gall commend us to Hon. John Barrett of Massachusetts, late minister to Sfc am and now world's fair commissioner general to the effete v east. He had some sort of an audience with the em peror of China, and here is tho way his secretary,, Hon. Theodore Hardee, de scribes the august, event to a gaping and dumfounded world: Th unprecedented honor of beiiur In vited on the dais Itself of the Son of Heaven's throne to enffage in , personal conversation with the emperor and em press dowager of China has lust been shown John Barrett formerly American minister to Slam, now commissioner gen eral to Asia ror the St. Louis world's fair, and Minister Conger, who presented tht commissione general to their maieaties or' July 26. This innovation in royal pro cedure, where k- heretofore , conservatism has made the Chinese court known as the most exclusive in the world, is strik ingly interesting and significant. Not content with granting Mr. Barrett the first audience in the history of Pe king ever given to a foreign commissioner on a similar mission, the emperor and empress dowager took advantage of the occasion to ask. him numerous questions about American President Roosevelt and the character and extent of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. . To do this they violated all precedents and astonished the array of princes and courtiers present by requesting Commissioner Barrett -and JUln- ister Conger to step upon the - sacred throne platform itself. For ten minutes or more their majesties exchanged, words with these two American representatives. while the surrounding officials looked on in apparent surprise that no harm befell them for daring to approach so near to the Son of Heaven. Their majesties an nounced that they riot only would issue ari edict that China should participate in the world's fair, but would send an imperial commissioner to represent them. They specially requested Commissioner General Barrett to convey, to President Roosevelt their deep appreciation of the attitudeof America toward China in her troubles. That remarkable excerpt recalls Mark Twain's famous dictum, "Blessed Is the man that bloweth his own horn, lest it be not blown." The best thing the i Louisiana Purchase exposition managers could do would be to recall Commissioner General Barrett forth with and to squelch his secretary. Leze Majesty. The brilliant editor of the Washing ton Post independent is liable in fact quite likely to be hauled up for leze majesty or at least to be tabooed by our Anglomania c aristocrats and land grabbers If he does not suddenly check himself in the mad career upon which he has entered, for in a recent editorial. commenting on England's war upon "the Mad Mollah," he has the lmpu dence to say this: . We suppose that the whole trouble is due to a conviction lodged somewhere In the British mind that the Mad Mollah' , country, and people are richly endowed with portable property of some kind. It Is a conviction which has always fired the true Briton's heart and led to violence in every part of the world in which persona and territories lay under this dark sua picion. For more than, four centuries the Anglo-Saxons- have been ready at aU times to go forth into the four corners of the earth at the barest mention of a dm dend'in marketable plunder. They have overrun India for gold and jewels and bullied and persecuted China by way of propagating the opium trade with China; they have harried the Dutch in Africa since the beginning of the nineteenth century until the discovery of gold and diamonds twenty-fire or thirty years ago. converted them into exterminators and set in motion armies such as England has not put afloat or afoot in all her piratical career. They are the same old fierce and bloody minded spoliators that sailed forth from Scandinavia in the dark ages and ravaged every land that could not help K self. Aa for Somallland and the Mad Mollah we wait for further information. May be. after ail, they are worth looting. Now I submit that things are coming to a pretty pass when an American editor right under the nose of Mr. Sec retary of State Hay is permitted to talk In that strain about England, un der the protection of whose guns, ac cording to .Joseph Chamberlain, we negotiated the calamitous treaty of Paris. It's misprision of treason at least Rather Severe. Every once in awhile some preacher takes a, fall out of the secular press, and then once in awhile some editor of a secular newspaper takes a fall out of some particular preacher. The fol lowinar editorial from the New York Press is more or less severe: The style of Wall street preaching, has changed somewhat in the last century and a half. Those fine old fellows Fayson, Whltefleld, Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, Caldwell, Witherspoon and Burr (father of Aaron and founder of Princeton univer sity) stood out in the clear light of heaven and flung the gospel into the open board from 'the curbstone. They called things by their right names and saved sinners possibly. The Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, who has been preaching at one end of the street for forty years, paid less at tention to its habitues than any other clergyman in town. To all, intents and purposes he does not and never did know that such an institution as tne biock jiix- change exists. No open air thunderlnga for him He prefers ms pnesuy roDes in the quiet pulpit of old Trinity. Mere word of mouth would never convert a Wall street sinner. He has no time to listen to preaching. But with a glance of the eye as he hurries across the street he can take in the whole silent sermon rireached by the venerable edifice of a re- lielous corporation that , owns property worth In ' round numbers $100,000,000 on (which it has never paid 11 in taxes. .What anrt at sermon is 'it? The gospel of wealth hanes its banner on the outer wall, and the cry is, "Still they come!
