It was badly deceived by them. Tt may usually be taken for grant-) ed that the man who is long on | promises will be short on perform ances. Whatever he professes to believe t'te man who is glum and sour and looks darkly upon life has not got re- J -Jigioa?-"he simply has tile. The man who speculates with the aim of getting something for nothing almost invariably win-?s; up with get ting nothing for something. The action of Italy in Tripoli is an Ii lustration of the bad old rule, "That they shall take who havo the power,! and they shall keep who can." One of the dynamiters, who con fessed, says he got from one to Gve thousand dollars for blowing up buildings and bridges, according to thfv value of the structure destroyed. Who paid that money? The confession of the dynamiters| at Los Angeles, Cal., has given union labor organizations a terrible blow. They were basely deceived, but they wil! suger all the same for their con nection with the case. No man can get away entirely from his fellows, therefore It is not possi ble to live altogether to oneself. Yet| there are some who nearly succeed In doing it because of their lack of fiower and energy. Practically they .are nonentities. In such bad odor are corporations .because of their influence in politics -and the dishonest practice to which many of them rescrt, it is safe to ?pay no political party will openly ac cept contributions from that source In the next presidential election. If any should be offered It will be "de clined with thanks." What a sigh of relief Europe must have heaved when the Moroccan ques-l ticn was at last settled.- it Is now disclosed that war between Germany and England over the matter was at one time perilously near, it is well for humanity and civilization that) ca:raer judgment and wise statesman ship ultimately found the way out In all the range of our modern clv fli/.ation there is no man so poor as he who is overweighed with pro;> erty. He is burdened down by it. he ooc? not know how to dispose of It with best result und, as a conse quence, he gets far less satifsactlon out of l.\ than the man of moderate means, and probably less than the | roan with no means at all.

Sam Blythe, the political writer for the Saturday Evening Post, published in last week's issue of that periodical the second of his series of three ar ticles on the prospect for the presi dential contest next year. His first article reviewed conditions in the Far West. His sreond article deals with States east of the Mississippi river, and his third article will deal with the South. Mr. Blythe has taken into consid eration the probabilities as to nomi nations by each party as well as the probabilities as to the election, for at thi3 stage of the campaign, so to speak, the two are inseparable. It is i.Mr. Blythe's o!'t-repeated opinion that President Taft may be renomi nated for the asking: the nomination is his if he wants it, and he wants it now, and is apt tc want it next year. Presuming Taft is to be the Repub lican nominee, Blythe concludes that in order to win the Independent vote, the vote that will decide the election, the strongest candidate the Demo crats can nominate is Wood row Wil son. He does nc: discount the diffi culty of nominating Wilson, on the other hand, he points out very clearly the difficulties and shows how the Democratic leaders in certain States are playing their cards to prevent his nomination. He names Murphy in New York Hearst in Illinois and California, Tag gart in Indiana, as some of the Dem ocrats who arc opoosfug Wilson. The favorite son scheme is to be worked for all it is worth, in the hope that Wilson may be unable to secure the three-fourths vote necessary to nom inate in the Democratic convention. It is to Wilson's credit that such men are op posed to him. But presuming the Democrats will put up Wilson-.-or som" other candi date of . an Independent type, who will present a contrast to Taft? Blythe has concluded that Mr. Taft cannot make sure of enough votes to elect him. He would lose heavily in every part of Lie country, and be disastrously defeated should his op ponent be Wilson sa.-s Mr. Blythe. That is the way he fees it. On the other hand, he thinks Wil son would receive from the West and Solid South nearly enough votes ta elect him. He would lack only twen ty, and Blythe thinks that with Wil son and Taft as opposing candidates, the Democrats would carry Wiscon sin, Illinois and Indiana, all of which he classes as Eastern, as well as Mas sachusetts, Maine and New Hamp shire. These States have a total of sixty-nine votes, which would give the Democrats a majority of forty nine. Aa to New York and Ohio, the chances are that Taft could carry both as against Wilson, though he would not have an easy time of it In Ohio. The Columbia Record says "Sam Blythe In a disinterested, im partial and conservative observer of political affairs. His conclusion, however, is hardly different from that of any other intelligent student of the political situation, and that Is that to defeat President Ti ft, who will be the Republican nominee, the I Democrats should nominate Woodrow Wilson." Should Let Tbem Alone. If any effort is made by the Post master-General to limit the adver tising space in newspapers, to entitle them to newspaper rates, he will ralae a hornet's nest about his ears. There has been an altogether too g-eat disposition by the postal au thorities to interfere with the prass. No one can question the desirability of reducing expenses in the postoffice department hut there are many ways, o:her than interferifg with the press, in which the reduction may well be efected. The franking privilege might be abolished with great econ omy as to postage and printing.
