Here Is a well established vent for the explosive forces of nature operating as between the Interior heat ot the earth and the waters of beneath the sea, and men may not live long enouga upon the earth to see the time when Its' Inner fires have so far subsided as to extinguish all volca noes and end all earthquakes. Geologists do not now accept the theory that these eruptions are caused by leaks In the bed of the ocean, for it fails to account for the Intermingling of water with molten rock. Rather are they supposed to be caused by the gradual and Impervious up building of the bed of the ocean, strata upon strata, which, however, are left be low full of moisture that more and more becomes subject to the Internal heat of the earth until molten masses of rock are created, which move "under their own steam," as It were, with explosive vio lence until a vent is found. This is roughly the theory of Dean Bha- lcr, who has just died, and who himself back some twenty-five years ago climbed to the edge of the crater of Vesuvius duri.ig an eruption and at the risk of his life ob served with his own eyes the rapidly inter mittent vomitings of the mountain.

I'opalar Choice of Senator.. Boston Transcript. William Alden Smith's proposal to the voters of Michigan that the senatorial con test within the republican party be settled by direct election, either In June or In No vember, leaving It a point of honor with the legislature to ratify the popular deel sion, affords another example of the devices by which the constitutional method of electing senators Is circumvented, without an actual amendment to the constitution. The man who, like Mr. Smith, proposes popular choice as a means of arbitration puts his rivals at a disadvantage la refus ing it. This Is one of tha reasons for the growth of the practice. Tha ttsa of Heroism. Boston Globe. Prof Mattijcrl, who has stuck to th ob servatory on Mount Vesuvius, several times reputtd destroyed but still standing at STRANG rJ THINGS DO HAPPEN. Preliminary Lloeap of Leaders In the Democratic Camp. Washington Post. Talleyrand treated his friends as If they were some day to be his enemies, and his conduct toward his enemies was as though they would some time be his friends at least that Is the estimate Talleyrand's mas ter, Napoleon Bonaparte, put on Talley rand's conduct. This reflection grows out of present political conditions right here at home The Cleveland people are asking to keep company with the Bryan folks. It la said that they will welcome the great apostle of latltudinarlan democracy when he re turns from foreign parts next month and offer him the crown. They feel that the people hold tha republican party responsi ble for the present fast grip monopoly has upon them, and that no argument, no promise that the party can make will pre vent the triumph of the democracy at the polls next fall. Mr. Bryan Is now counted a conservative, possibly because Mr. Hearst is a radical. One of these two will lead the democratic party in the next great battle unlrss the unexpected should happen. The Cleveland crowd have as little use for Hearst in 1st as they bad for Bryan In IMS. and present conditions show what capers and shines parties can sometimes cut in this world. The radical of yesterday Is become the con servative of today. There will be a struggle between these two forces. That the Cleveland element would strengthen Bryan in the east no one will dispute; but how about Indiana, Illinois and Missouri? Will the brethren out there consent to be yoked with "the bolters and traitors of '96?" If we are to judge by the thii.gs they did to Judge Parker In 1904, It would seem as though the acquisition of the Cleveland re-enforcements would not be of material advantage to the "Matchless" and the "Peerless." However, none can tell what the har vest will be. A free people is sometimes whimsical, especially when tha pot is boil ing. But who would not Journey ayos the continent to see Grover Cleveland pre siding over a great Bryan meeting In Madi son Square Garden during the campaign of 190S? Stranger things happen every day. was significant of the intense public resent ment toward reckless motor drivers, whose deadly work In that vicinity during the last few weeks has made a mortuary record. Last Sunday week two aged women were run down at New Rochelle. With hardly a glance backward, the occupants of the ma chine left them dying In the road. During the next few days nearly all of official New Rochelle went hunting for speeders. Thir teen were captured and fined in sums rang ing from $35 to 1100. A magistrate held court In the police station all day to try the offenders. The building was surrounded by a large crowd of cltUens. They Jeered the offenders. As one party left the station a volley of stones flew past their ears. A petition to the legislature to change the law making speeding a felony so that of fenders can be imprisoned for the first of fense, instead of escaping with a fine, was circulated during the day. It was signed by nearly 2,000 persons. It Is estimated that within the next Ave years Jl,;oO,000,ono will be expended In New York's expansion Into its suburbs. Of this vast sum, at least $ti3).0o0,000 will be spent for the construction of buildings In Brook lyn, the Bronx. Queens and New Jersey suburbs. The balance will go Into great public improvements which have been planned to make the suburbs fit residential sections for the millions of people who carry on businens In Manhattan. These huge total expenditures can be forecast from estimates which are a matter of record That the outlay for new buildings will ex ceed KXXOeo.OK) Is plain, because this total represents five years or construction no larger In volume than that ef the last year. Current real estate booms in all the sub urbs Indicate that the next five years of construction will run far ahead of the 1906 total. Builders In Breoklyn spent $M.Jo0,0u0 In new structures during 1906. The, total in the Bronx was $37,WVM; in Queens, $12, 310.000: In the New Jersey suburbs, $10,000.- 00ft. This makes $124,000,000 for the la year. For the next five years it Is believed that rruO.ouO.OoO would be a conservative estimate. SEN ATORIAL SI fjtiKSTTON . Lincoln Politician: Sentiment over the state Is growing more pronounced for Rose water. Fremont Tribune: Senator Millard has come home to Nebraska to decide whether lie wants to enter the race for another term. Our disinterested. Impartial and friendly advice would be, Don't do It. Tender Republic: One good thing about Senator Millard Is that he goes about his business with his mouth shut, Instead of always foaming at the mnizle for the pur pose of attracting attention from the gal leries. Ansley Chronicle: Our favorite son for t'lilted Slates senator is Hon. F. M. Cur rle. Mr. Currle Is the most logical candi date in our estimation. It Is true he Is not a politician, but he has every quali fication to make a representative at our national capital In whom Nebraska would have reason to feel proud. Hartlngtun Herald: Hon. W. P. Warner of Dakota City has no bureau of publicity looking after his interests, but neverthe less there Is a growing feeling that he Is senatorial sise, and this feeling emanates from the farms and Is a sincere regard for a man whom the people believe to be right on the questions of the day. Norfolk Tress: Edward Rosewater might have been I'nited States senator long Rgo if he had not been fought by Omaha re publicans and defeated In his aspirations. He never can get united support from Omaha, and it is all .folly to talk of him as a candidate. A newspaper man who has the courage of his convictions may as well bid goodbye to all political aspirations, and the sooner he does the better newspa per man he will !. Fremont Herald: The Herald believes that even at this laie date Edward Rose water could win the senatorial nomination at the hands of the state convention. It Is true that he has many enemies in every section of the state, but It Is also true tlmt no republican now seeking the nomination has as many admirers In Nebraska. The masses of republicans believe In Rose- water. They -believe he Is a true antl- mnnopoliat. It he ahould at this time make personal appeal to his friends to send friendly delegations to the state conven tion he could overcome all opposition and win with ease. Tekamah Herald: Hon. Norrls Brown as candidate for tho I'nited Statea senate need have no fear as to his nomination In the republican state convention. He is the choice of the farmers, stockmen and busi ness men of the state, and they will see to It that the delegates to that convention will work and vote for the best Interests of the state. Mr. Brown Is an Ideal can didate; he Is strong and vigorous, a splen did orator and an able advocate, he Is not controlled by any clique, faction or cor porate Influence. He Is a man that will be fair to all interests and has the courage and ability to put up a good fight for his convictions on any and all occoslons. Ne braska will feel proud of him in the sen ate. Lincoln Journal: The Fremont Tribune Interprets the shelving of Victor Rose water's direct primary plan for this season as meaning the final retirement ef the senior Rosewater from the senatorial struggle. This does not necessarily fol low. It Is well known that the senatorial primary was fostered with the idea tha Mr. Rosewater would stand a show of re ceiving the nomination If the matter went before the people. The failure of that plan simply means that If Mr. Rosewater Is candidate he must get the support of Doug las county before really starting In the race.
