IT is dangerous to risk a chance when the general condition of the country is satisfactory. APPEARANCES indicate that the Re­ publican majority in Illinois this year will be greater than they were in 1896. AND now hailstones are said to be "a? large as golf balls," which shows that the weather man keeps up with the times. THERE is only one place in which an anarchist can be of any value,to society, and that is behind prison bars, working for the state. WHEN all the-oonditions prevailing in the country are moie satisfactory than ever before, why should any citiz >n vote for a change? WHEN the shirt waist man is refused accommodations at a hotel or restaurant he does not get as hot over it as he would if he wore a coat. better results than hav^been achieved by the diplomats of pay other nation and have been more expeditious in their accomplishment. It has been customary for the trained diplomats of Europe to regard American methods in such mat- ters with illy concealed amusement, be­ cause they were lacking- in the .-M.*«liod efforts to disguise the real meaning of the language employed, the subtleties of expression and the verbal twisting and fencing that are considered essential to such correspondence by Europeans. But they have been compelled' to admit that the American method of saying ex­ actly what is ment in language that cannot be misundeistood always has ac­ complished the object aimed at, and that this has been the case in dealing with the Chinese. It is not easy to understand the Chi­ nese people nor to tell vwhat will influ­ ence them. Their diplomats are as ex pert as those of any European court in the arts upon which the latter rely, if not more than a match for them, and the efforts of the Europeans produced no impression lipon them. But they are able to understand plain talk, and they appear to appreciate the fact that the government of the United States always says what it means and means what it sjiys. Secretary Hay's plain talk to the Chi­ nese authorities produced a cessation of the open bombardment of the envoys in their reservation and reopened free cor­ respondence with their home govern­ ments that has led to a more accurate knowledge of the actual condition of things in Pekin, revealing other acts of treachery. The latest communication to the Chinese government from our state department demands that these hostile acts cease utterly, and that the persons of the envoys be delivered di" rectly into the hands of the relieving column, without the intervention of any native agency; and that for this purpose the allies must be allowed to enter Pekin. This has been proved to be the only course possible, and is what the government has contemplated all along. The necessity for it has been emphasized by many recent incidents. The Chinese authorities are at last beginning to learn that they cannot treat demands or sug­ gestions of this sort with disrespect. It is likely, therefore, that this last and very reasonable proposition will be agreed to. Hot Piety, but Porlc. The following bit of nonconformist humor is taken from "The Farring- dons," an English romance. The speak­ ers are Mrs. Bateson and Mrs. Han- key, worthy wives, but not altogether above feeling a certain pleasure in showing up the ways of husbands: "They've no sense, men haven't," said Mrs. Hankey; "that's what's the matter with them." "You never spoke a truer word, Mrs. Hankey," replied Mrs. Bateson. "The very best of them don't properly know the difference between their souls and their stomachs, and they fancy they are a-wrestling with their doubts when really It is their dinners that are i-wrestling with them. "Now, take Bateson hisself," contin­ ued Mrs. Bateson. "A kinder husband or better Methodist never drew breath, yet so sure as he touches a bit of pork he begins to worry hisself about the doctrine of election till there's no liv­ ing with him. And then he'll sit In the front parlor and engage in prayer for hours at a time till I says to him: " 'Bateson,' says I, 'I'd be ashamed to go troubling the Lord with a prayer when a pinch of carbonate of soda would set things straight again!'" BY the time the allied forces reach Pekin the Chinese authorities will le amenable to reason and will be ready to get down to business. •CUBA is more prosperous under Amer­ ican rule than ever before. That is in the invariable result of the introduction of American energy and methods. DURING the past year there was an increase of $40,000,000 in the deposits in the savings banks of New York state. This is proof positive that the wage earn­ ers of that state are receiving steady employment at good wages. ENGLISH steamships are now using American coal in great quantities. They find its steam producing qualities are greater than those of their own coal, and that it is cheaper. The United States is going to furnish fuel as well as food to the world. IN"fchfe*opinion of The Rail way Age, it is safer to ride on the railroads than to stay at home. It supports this opinion with the statement that, while 562 per­ sons were killed by lightning in the United States last year, only 239 passen gers were killed in railway accidents. PLAIN TALK COUNTS. America has taken the lead and set the pace in the diplomatic intercourse between China and the great powers for the simple reason that its diplomatic communications have been characteris­ tic of the American people. They have been plain and directly to the point, and there has been no opportunity to mis understand their meaning. And for ti& yerj reason they have produced Machine Made Jokes, Some time ago a fellow got up a little book giving hints on how to be funny. Copies of this book are evi­ dently In common use by the funny men connected with many of our news­ papers. Witness this specimen joke attributed to a Chicago paper: He--Who is that ugly old woman over there by the piano? She--Oh, that's Mme. Cosmetique, the famous beauty Specialist. The book tells just how to make this class of jokes in bulk. The same idea will do for a whole batch. "He" asks: "Who is that baldheaded man?" "She" answers: "That is Dr. Quacknostrum, the Hair Renewer man." Again, "He" asks: "What is the matter with those crying brats?" And "She" responds: "Their mother has gone to lecture on the training of children." Once you catch the idea you can produce funny things of this kind automatically, and if you are a funny man on a news­ paper your readers will laugh every time and other papers will quote your jokes and give your paper credit for them.--Pathfinder.

HISTORY VBBSTO B£YAJ» •irf*«dlr a Foe an Logle to MvtiPf Oae of HU Political Mr. Bryan displayed less than his usual adroitness in his speech of ac- ^r»t/»nee at In^iKfv«polte. There is some tiling of com eel y in these word's^ 'The acquisition of the Louisiana ter* ritory, Florida, Texas and other t racts, which have been secured from time to time, enlarge the republic, and the constitution followed the flag into the new territory." We acquired Louisiana py purchase from France. Its residents, excepting those who were held as slaves, were people whose intelligence and virtue qualified them for citizenship as fully at least as those of the then frontier states. Florida we also acquired by purchase, but the white inhabitants were few in number, and though it must be ad­ mitted that their mental and moral qualities were higher than thoise of the Philippines, the newly-acquired population w&s not large enough to af­ fect in any perceptible degree the vote of the whole nation. BuCso far ajs its original inhabitapts, the Seminole®, were concerned, the constitution did not follow the flag into the n^w terri­ tory. The Seminol^s were not instant­ ly admitted to citizenship; thej- have not yet been admitted to citizenship. Texas .came to us as a republic, al­ ready self-governed, and self-governed by men of our own race and of our own language. But the acquisition of Tex­ as led us into a war with Mexico, and if ever there was a war of conquest it was that between the United States and Mexico. As a result of this war we acquired that vast domain of which we now speak somewhat vaguely as the Pacific states, inclusive of the ter­ ritories of Arizona and New Mexico. Did the constitution follow t«he flag into this vast area? Are the people of Arizona and. New Mexico even now en­ dowed with the full rights of citizen­ ship? How many years elapsed be­ fore California, Montana, Wyoming and the other Pacific states were grant­ ed even so much as the right of a terri­ torial form of government? Long years passed in which we held them practically, if not nominally, as out­ lying colonial possessions. History is as deadly a foe as logic to every one of Mr. Bryan's political dogmas. THINGS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. The Republican Headquarter* at Chi- cago a Bmr Place These Day*. The officials at the republican state headquarters at the Great Northern hotel, Chicago, now have every things and every detail connected with the work of the campaign working very smoothly an«l~with great celerity that is commendable to thosie in charge, The work of each department is far ahead of four years ago at the same time. The only criticism has been that which has come from democratic sources, the great progress which the committee has made apparently wor­ rying the newspapers of the Bryan faith. Chairman Rowe is occupied every second of the ten hours he is at his desk. His callers each day are numer­ ous and to each he accords an exten­ sive interview. His mail occupies much time, but every letter is answered al­ most the day it is received, while minor details are treated in prompt manner. He personally visits each department twice each day. Secretary Fieldhouse works like a beaver during each day. His mail is very large, but attended to with great promptness. Visitors are given a cor­ dial reception and personal matters taken up immediately. He is proving to be wonderfully we'll adapted for the arduous position. The newness® to the office has worn off, and old-time politicians visiting headquarters are loud in their praise of his work and general efficiency. He personally supervises every detail in each of the dozen different depart­ ments and is aware of every move made by every official and employe in head­ quarters' employ. The work of the campaign is in ex*- cellent hands, so state all visitors, and gratification is manifest at the manner in which the same is being transacted. Just an (mtance. Freeport Journal: A mechanic em­ ployed at the Henney factory came into the Journal office Saturday even­ ing to pay his subscription, and, throwing his pay envelope on the counter, said he had good reason to know the difference between repub­ lican prosperity and democratic de^- spondency. In his pay envelope he had $41.16, representing his pay for two weeks' work at the Henney factory. He said that four years ago he was walking the streets of Freeport look­ ing for work, but now he had more work than he could do, and that was the case with every mechanic in the city. > The Record of Democracy. Did you ever think that the demo­ crats have only elected one governor of Illinois and one "president of the United States in 40 years, and that the state treasury was left several millions of dollars worse than empty and that the national administration had to is­ sue interest-bearing bonds for $262,000,- 000 in time of peace to pay the actual running expenses of the government! This is the record the party goes to the voters with. Oood Money In Sheep. Frank Dennis, of Peotone, shipped a carload of sheep to Chicago last week and sold them at a high figure.
