If the tren d toward democracy con
tinues as strong for the1 next two years
as"-it has been for the last two years.
New York can be counted among the
democratic states in 1908, and Mr.
Hearst is in-a. position to do valhn
work in sreuring a national triumph
for progressive, democratic ideas.
- The democratic gains in : congress
have not been as great as the prfv ex
pected, but they have; been sufficient
f td make it probable that the demo-
' aats will control the congress to be
elected in 1908. -In nearlv all the
middle stages the ; democrats have
- made decided gains and these prom's
much for the senatorial contests which
' take place two years hence.
c tri Iowa, Kansas and California the
democrats made a splendid fteht for
their gubernatorial 'K ticket.' The re
duction of Governor Cummins major
ity from more than seventy thousand
" to about twenty, thousand puts Iowa 1"

" In' Nebraska the ' democrats hop"
with the aid of the populists to elect
their state ticket and their candidate
for the United States senate. In this
they failed, but they have made sub
stantial gains throughout the state,"
as shown by the vote on congressmen
and the legislative ticket as well as
by the state ticket. They have gained
one congressman and came within less
'nan two hundred votes of gain'ng an
other. In two other districts the re
publican majorities have been so much
reduced that we can reasonably count
on four democratic congressmen two
years from now. In the legislature
'he fusionists will have about four
times as many as they had two years
ago.
The republicans have had an effec
tive campaign cry in "standing by the
president." While the record showed
that the democrats in the senate and
the house -stood bv the resMent bet
ter than the republicans, the admir
ers of the president very naturally
gave weight to, his appeal for a rep
nuhlican congress although in makins
the appeal the president put a oer
8onal victory above the reforms which
he has been advocating. Two years
fronts now that , anneal . will be of no
avail; for , the president will not be
'n office af'er March ; 4, 1909. Even
'f he. were- a candidate which no
friend of Ms can assume . afW his re

confront tbthird term, issue, and who
would say that that issue alone wouH
not lose the, president, enough votes to

vofe as indicated bv the congressional
elections shows that the renuH'cans
even now hve a narrow margin to eo

JAPS PREPARE FOR WAR
German General Staff Officer Says
.Japan- Will Fight the United

i j (Malcolm Clark in Omaha World

Berlin Not without reason did Sir
Edward Grey the British minister of
foreign affairs the other day, ask that
a clause guaranteeing the neutrality
of Great Britain in case of : war be
tween Japan and the United States be
inserted in the treaty between Eng
land and her ally, for I am informed by
a very high army officer of the Ger
man' general staff,-; who has just" rer
turned from the far east, that Japan
is making: gigantic; preparations ; for
just -such a war, which she will pro
voke as soon as she thinks herself
strong enough.
"Since the treaty ending the Russo
Japanese war wag; signed in Ports
: mouth, the people vt Japan have beep
exceedingly bitter against America
and by hin'ing at the possibility of a
war with the United States," my informant-said,
"the Japanese govern
ment has been given carte blanche in
regard to the military budget.
."She has added four new divisions
to her " army, two of which are in
Korea and two on the Liao Tung pen
insula, south Of Port Arthur', and four
more divisions are being formed.
"Seventy-three squadrons- are to be
added to her cavalry, making the total
strength of that army 128 squadrons.
Three 'hundred field guns -of heavv
calibre are being manufactured in the
government, shops, and these,. I am
told, are . superior'; to anv in use in
anv other army in . th world.- ;
"Fifteen; new battleships and an
eonal number of swift first-class cru's
ers sare to be built as fast as the Jap
anese ship vards can turn them. t)ut.
and a laree number of submarines.
"These ' figures are abslntely re
liable, and the Japanese officers who
rave them to me made me understand
that thev had not the slightest doubt.
hat Japan's next victories were to be
be won in and around the Philippines."

At first no disease is apparently
more, harmless than dropsy, a little
puffing of the eyelids or hands or a
slight swelling of the feet, ankles or
abdomen. Then there is great short
ness of breath," smothering spells, sit
ting up to breathe; cough, faint spells,
sometimes nausea and vomiting, even
bursting of the limbs and if not re
lieved a lingering and wretched death.
Dr. -"Miles is known as - a leading
specialist in this class of diseases for
25 years. His liberal offer is certain
ly worthy of serious consideration,
