The one thing lacking, and an

A Purchasing' Agent.
The school board is considering a
plan to hare a purchasing agent
charged with authority and reaponsl
bility over all the supplies bought
for the schools.
The-city has already discovered
that there Is profit accruing from the
establishment of a single purchasing
agent for all municipal departments,
which previous to the commission
plan of government, indiscriminately
bought right and left, each for It
self. The one remaining drawback
is that tbe city's purchasing agent
does not exclude expenditures on this
score by the Water board.
The next thing in order will be a
similar centralization of purchasing
under one bead by the county board.
Without unified responsibility the
leaks in the supply accounts of the
various county institutions cannot be
effectually stopped.
Purchasing agents for city, school
district and county will surely be
money In pocket for the taxpayers.
It may even work out so well that
these three will later be consolidated
into one.
Prophecy or False Alarm?
Prophets are legion, but few of
them as true prophets. Is the editor
of the socialist "Appeal to Reason"
a true propheet, or Just a prophet?
He evidently thinks he has a vision,
as witness this proclamation:
I ask you to keep your eye on ex-Presl-
dent Roosevelt. He Is preparing a sur
prise that will take the breath out of
most politicians, and sweep tbe unthink
ing people oft their feet. Even as it Is,
some, men who ha"e been counted as so
clallst are identifying themselves with
the so-called progressive movement
There never was such a game of "stop
thtef played before. The Appeal has In
its possession Information concerning tbe
colonel's plans that would make the na
tion gasp. We do not care to make this
information public for the good reason
that no one would believe It now-but
take my word for It, even In your wildest
Imaginings you have not dreamed of what
s to take place within the next few
months.
Here is an epitomized prophecy.
All we can do is to possess our souls
In patience, and see what we shall
see.
Wanted A Time Limit.
It Is necessary to obstruct public
thoroughfares more or lees with ma
terials while buildings are being
erected, but for how long? There Is
no good reason why a time limit
should not be placed upon the per
mission. People should not be sub
jected to such Inconvenience and an
noyance Indefinitely just because a
builder or tontractor does not take
the pains to accommodate himself
to the convenience of others. Where
building operations have been begun
and then suspended for weeks or
months, obstructions to sidewalks,
especially la the heart of the business
district, should &6t'b permitted to
stand. If there is no way of com
pelling contractors to proceed with
their work, there should be a way
of removing tbe obstruction.
Delivery in Advance.
It appears to be only a matter of
majorities by which the bull moosers
will carry the Various states. Press
dispatches say that at the Chicago
convention Raymond Robblns gen
erously pledged Illinois for a major
ity of 100,000 and that Oifford
Pinchot promised to deliver Pennsyl
vania with a majority of 300,000. '
Now, that is the right system to
run a campaign. Let It be known in
advance definitely just what to count
on In each state and It will save
much confusion and useless exertion,
to say nothing of money, though, of
course, to bull moosers money is not
a matter of the least moment. Since
we have Illinois and Pennsylvania to
start with, let the roll proceed:
Minnesota! How many, Senator
Clapp?. Kansas, Senator Brlstow?
New York, Mr. Perkins? N,ew Jer
sey, Mr. Port? And Texas, Colonel
Cecil Lyon, how many thousand ma
jority may we count on from you for
tbe bull moosers In dear old Texas?
It is as simple as rolling off a log
into a creek and about as safe.
What struck , our old friend
"Hank" Richmond most forcibly at
the Woodrow Wilson notification
party at Sea Girt was "the crisp salt
air." After having imbibed during
two sessions of the Nebraska legisla
ture . the atmospheric, whiffs that
come up to the state house, from
Salt creek, we would have thought
Richmond had gotten over that.
The spinster who descants on the
advantages of single blessedness and
maintains that a woman is happier
without than with a husband lays
herself open to the charge of ex parte
Judgment, never having experienced
the Joy of having a real, live hus
band.
The new third party invites sup
port "without regard to previous
political affiliations." In the south,
however, this does not mean "with
out regard to color or previous con
dition of servitude."
The weather man is doing well
for us so far as rainfall goes, bat he
will please remember to give us
enough hot weather yet to fill out
the ears and dry them before the

HADLEY OF MSS0UEI
A live Wire in the Political Activities of Today and Tomorrow.
Elbert Hubbard In
Herbert Bpencer Hadley, governor of
Missouri, just now stands out before the
entire United States as a man of peculiar
dignity and worth.
At the Chicago convention, he led the
fight on the convention floor In behalf
of Colonel Roosevelt
Unlike various others at that particular
time and place, his language was not
that of the submerged two-fifths.
He was frank, direct, convincing, and
his mental attitude waa unmistakable.
Had the entire body of assembled vis.
jltors and delegates been allowed to
vote individually, unlnstructed, for a
candidate, Hadley would have carried off
the prize on the first day of the con
vention. Only one thing stood In the
way of Hadley's nomination, and that
was the approval of Theodore Roosevelt
The man Is tall, slender, with a par
donable pride In his good looks and In
his mental abilities.
He speaks with great deliberation.
thinking out every sentence before
sending It forth.
His voice is not heavy, but it is, vi
brant, and he knows the business of
public speaking so thoroughly that he
made himself heard In every part of the
hall.
Hadley was the only man who spoke
before the convention who was not In;
terrupted and boo-hooed and contra
dicted. "
Had it not been for Hadley's refusal
to bolt on the order of Roosevelt, un
doubtedly the deflection would have oc
curred and fhe entire Roosevelt contin
gent would have walked out of the hall
Ith much clatter of brogans.
Hadley, from the very start, refused to
listen to any proposition of disorder ard
holding two conventions at on time.
He insisted that the entire procedure
must be orderly and according to par
Uamentary rules duly laid down and
recognised.
And now that the convention Is over,
Governor Hadley refuses to desert the
republican party and start a third party.
Hadley Is a Kansas product. The name
given to him by his parents suggests
their intellectual faith.
Hadley now Is exactly 40 years of age.
But forty years ago Herbert Spencer
did not occupy the same position In liter
ature that he does today.
BUSINESS IS FLOURISHING
General Prosperity Routing the Political Knockers.
Chicago Record-Herald.
From statistics and general reports It
Is evident that agriculture, commerce and
manufactures are In good condition
throughout the United States.
The Iron and steel business, an index
of general manufacturing, is active to
the extent that pig Iron production for
the first half of the year was 14,072,J74
tons, an lncreaase of 2,406,778 tons, or
80.6 per cent over the total for the first
halt of 1911. No. t foundry Iron, which
could hardly be sold at 110 a ton, Bir
mingham delivery, at the beginning of
the year, now commands $12 a ton. The
railroads are freely buying iron and
steel products after having kept their
purchases down to a minimum through
out 1911'. Steel mills In and about Chi
cago are so crowded wtlh orders that
they are not seeking new business.
Crop reports show an abundance of
staples. The hay crop ha broken all
POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS.
St. Paul Pioneer-Press: This year we
have In politics the republican elephant,
th democratic donkey, the Roosevelt bull
moose, to say nothing of the noun' dawg
and the goat-that'a the people.
New York Tribune: Did George W. Per-
kins make as much out of the Tennessee
Coaf and Iron absorption as he is spend
ing to show his gratitude? Did he lose
much out of the Harvester trust suits
a he I spending to get revenge?
New York Sun: President Taft has
shown hla sympathy with the father of tea
children by finding a better Job for him.
Thus the oresldent proves his continued
devotion to one of is predecessor" pol
icies.
St. Loul Globe-Democrat: President
Taft lllustratea the fact that a firebrand
in the White House would be highly un
desirable In handling the Mexican situa
tion. The president is not of the rampag
ing hotspur ort.
Washington Post: The bull moosers
have picked a their candidate for gov
ernor In Illinois a heretofore obscure
man worth $10,000,000. Those animal are
certainly keen on the' scent, hut they are
even keener on the dollar.
Houston Post: Governor Wilson haa
determined not to resign the New Jersey
governorship before th first of Janu
ary. A righteous decision. We could
never have forgiven him If he had vol
untarily turned over his office to a re.
publican for five monthx. It is bad
enough for a democrat to give up an
offlc to a republican, even when Old
Vox Pop works a hefty majority on him.
PERKINS AND HIS PILE.
. New York Sun: "Funds wlllbe am
pie;" such Is th Joyous promise made
by the Hon. Angelo Perkins. , The har
vest will, be great though the contribu
tor be few. The United States steeling
Is decent and honest, and besides it Is
mighty convenient. So dear to decent
wealth is Theodore, a hundred generous
"angels" lackey him.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Mr. Per.
kins is but th paying agent at the
cashier's window. He has not named
th contributors according to the pub
licity requirement. No doubt the list
would Indicate the motives of those who
are putting up th huge pile. In the
back office of th bull moose show are
evidently the generous and disinterested
trusts.
Sioux City Journal: "The movement."
said Mr. Perkins of the steel trust,
"has ample fund and will continue to
have ample funds so long as it is d!
rected in th high spirit that haa pre
vailed thus far." This should be cheer
ful news for the less opulent moos out
on the prairies. There Is little danger
the colonel will do, or allow his follow
er to do, anything that will cause th
teel trust to conclude that the move
ment I not beinx directed In a high
spirit. With tbe magnate cheerfully
helling out their thousands and tens
of thousands tj keep the movement go
ing, th humbler member of tbe queer
combination can keep their dollar to
help defray the alsb cost of IMag.
Hearst' Magazine.
The Darwinian fight was on and
Spencer was the chief exponent of the
detested and feared theory of evolution.
People who did not think were not apt
to know anything about Herbert Spencer
and to care less.
The recipe for having educated chil
dren is to educate yourself.
Hadley's mother, like Thomas Edison's,
waa a school teacher. She had Intellect
and she had ambition.
The chief educational Influences In Had.
iv's life were the teachings of his
mother. If h had never gone to school
at all, he would yet have been an edu
cated man. However, he took all of the
degrees that' the little red schoolhouee
has to offer, then went to the high school,
then to the University of Kansas, and
now about all of the principal universi
ties In America have honored themselves
by honoring him.
In statesmanship, a man of 40 is still
in his youth. Hadley Is a coming figure
and he is a commanding one. ,
The man knows enough not to overeat
and underbreathe. He has a good old
fashioned respect for exercise. He Is
an Intense worker, but his nerves do
not get on the outside of his cloths. He
ha the health habit.
. Some yeara ago the Are of youth
prompted him to believe that the world
could he made over, and auickly, too.
His views now are moderating along
this line. He is the man who began the
action against the Standard Oil com
pany, that resulted in Its so-called dis
solution. Governor Hadley must realize now that
the disolution worked no advantage and
benefit to the consumer or to the Ameri
can people at large.
But all through life we" work for one
thing and get another.
The crushing of the trusts is not a
desirable thing, but their regulation Is.
and this supervision and regulation must
and will come, Hadley paved the way
for this.
That he did not know what he was
doing Is nothing to his discredit. The
man has been going to school and he
ia still going to school. And so are we
all taking postgraduate courses.
Hadley at 60 should occupy the same
position In politlaal science In America,
that Herbert Spencer does in the world
of philosophy. Will arrested develop
ment catch him? I hope not.
records; the oats crop is much larger
than last year's; the wheat and corn
crops probably will amount together to
400,000,000 bushels more than they
amounted to last year. These facts and
figures mean prosperity for the whole
country a well as for farmers. In the
outh there Is every promise of a large
cotton crop, which will bring higher
prices than last year's great yield..
Our exports of manufactures have
reached an unprecedented value. Mercan
tile houses report such large sales that
trade In general Is evidently brisker than
it has been for a long time. Bankers ex
press satisfaction and confidence. '
For a presidential year 1912 la unusu

tions seem hardly likely to ha disturbed
by politics, financial conditions or over
production in any important line. It will
pass Into history as a year of very
great material production.
Weft Lder Box
Overworking tiie Word.
LINCOLN. Aug. a-To the Editor of
The Bee: A good thing Is sometimes
made useless by abuse and misuse. For
illustration, take the word "progressive,"
now being so generally applied to the
political patriarchs In all parties. The
doctors have made use of the word for
more than half a century o make clear
the physical or mental state of their
patients. If a patient 1b gaining in
strength, the doctor will tell you that the
person under medical treatment la pro
gressing satisfactorily. The word is also
used to show the opposite to improve
ment in health. The learned doctor has
discovered that all disorders and derange
ments of the body are progressive when
increasing in danger. So it is possible,
according to the rule of medicine, to find
a disease progressing backward instead
of forward; or any kind of a physical or
mental disorder.
W. J. Bryan conceived the Idea a few
years ago of throwing a little progress
into the body of the democratic party
that had become Inactive and alow In
motion and now th country is treated
to all kinds of progression. The tramp
who calls at the back door for a slight
repast answers quickly and cheerfully to
the cull of the "progressive." A poll was
taken at tho penitentiary the other day
and the Inmates were all found to he
progressives. A chattel mortgage shark
has caught the contagion and has
launched a new sign over his door that
reads: "Progressive Ioana"
If Dr. Bryan could be induced to
chang the name of hi remedies or take
out a government patent on his methods
of treating democratic sluggishness in
the party, th progressive erase that has
spread in such alarming proportions
might be delayed or repressed.
. Progress, when applied to any useful
end or purpose, ia commendable, but
when used to deceive Is a colossal fake.
GEORGE P. MONAGON.
Justice for th 5aro.
ATKINSON. Neb.. Aug. T.-To the Kdltor
of The Bee: Inevitably any attempt to
overthrow the republican party must bring
forth attack upon the foundations upon
which that party was originally bullded.
Th contests of the third party in the
several state are bringing up the old
'question In a political way of state sov
ereignty against national sovereignty.
The republican party has always stood
for national sovereignty and does now, as
It dirt before the eoesion and civil war.
The other foundation stone attacked Is
Its position on the negro problem. When
Mr. Roosevelt wrote that he believed in
letting th north deal with It negro
Problem and the south with It own, and
appealtng to the "best white men of the
couth." he virtually declared for the dis
franchisement of the southern negro and
bid for the democratic vote of the south.
Everyone who knows th situation in the
south knows that the negro ha been
kept from the polls, bullied and mis-
treated by th southern whites, and to
let the south take care of its own negro
problem will be to turn the course of his
tory back toward his further disfranchise
ment and toward slavery. Mr. Roosevelt
believe In letting tbe negro vote in tb
north, where he Is in the minority; but
In the south, where the negro is in th
majority, he would disfranchise him be
cause the southern negro Is republican
and will vote the republican ticket, for
he knows that all the right and llbertta
he has received have come from the re
publican party and that that party more
than all others has given him a square
deal. A. H. YORK,

AN EASY JOB.
The Railroad Employe.
I want to be a railroad clerk
And draw hlB princely pay.
Where all I'll have to do is work
Some eighteen hours a dsy.
I'd like to Join those happy guys
With hearts so full of cheer.
Who overstrain their weary eye
Six hundred days a year.
I want to be a railroad clerk.
I'm very fond of toll;
In fact, I dearly love to work
While burning midnight oIL
Such things as deep 1 truly hate;
I much prefer to pore
O'er waybills made in triplicate
And heaped up by the score.
I want to be a railroad clerk.
And work from dawn to dark;
I really do not care to lurk
Of evenings in tbe park.
I'd rather sit upon a etool
- And scatch with busy pen,
Than e'er else in the wide, wide worW,
Then do it o'er again.
I want to he a railroad clerk,
For that's the way to climb.
I will not lag. 1 will -not shirk,
But labor all the time;
I will not mind th strain and stress,
- So, if you'll take me on,
You'll find me at this plain address:
