MR. BHti.T AlfU THE SOL TH.
Indications have not been wanting
of the restlessness of the south under
Bryanlte domination of the democratic
party. This was confined, fof a time,
to the utterances.of a few leading dem
ocrats who contended that control by
the Dryan forces had driven the party
to refuge south of Mason and Dixon's
line and had lost It Its hold on the
voters In all the northern states. Re
cently, however, something like a con
certed movement has been started that
may assert itself In a more effective
way against further continuation or
Mr. Bryan's leadership.
Practically all the democratic papers
in Texas, Including the Dallas News,
the Houston Post, the Oalveston News,
the San Antonio Express and the Fort
Worth Record, are urging the nomina
tion of Senator Culberson or "some
other good southern man" on a plat
form demanding a return to ancient
principles and repudiating the doc
trines and dogmas made paramount In
three campaigns and overwhelmingly
rejected by the voters of the nation.
The Charleston News and Courier, one
of the strongest democratic organs In
the south, Is openly opposing the re
nomlnatlan of Bryan and the Atlanta
papers are decidedly lukewarm In his
support. The opposition Is taking tan
gible form in Virginia. The Lynch
burg News has proposed an early meet
ing of the democratic state convention
with a view to launching an anti
Bryan movement in the Bouth. The
Richmond TlmeB-Dlspatch, Richmond
News-Leader, Richmond Journal, Nor
folk Landmark, Petersburg Appeal and
other Virginia papers have openly en
dorsed the program of the Lynchburg
News and are calling for reorganiza
tion and reformation of the democratic
party. The movement has spread Into
North Carolina, where the Charlotte
Observer, easily the ablest newspaper
of the Tarheel state. In" discussing the
proposition editorially says:
(The Observer notes thin mnvpmpnt rlth
unaffected pleasure. For many reasons
Virginia Is the fittest State to initiate It,
one of these reasons being that Its poli
tics are stralghter, and have been for fif
teen years, than those of any other state
In the south. This section has too long
come In at the back door and taken its
scanty meals In the kitchen. It has not
only made nothing, but has lost much In
the respect of the public by Its exhibition
of servility which could not be construed
otherwise than a confession of Inferiority.
If Virginia, fittest of leaders, as is said
above, will Inaugurate the renaissance, we
should have strong hope that the south
would follow and lift Itself from Its low
estate, Ood speed the .Old Dominion press
In Its praiseworthy undertaking.
The attitude of Colonel Watterson
and his Louisville Courier-Journal is
well known. Ever since Mr. Bryan
made his government ownership speech
on' his return from his foreign trip
Colonel Watterson has been pleading
with him to withdraw and make room
for some democrat who has a chance,
if not of election, at least of reuniting
the disheartened remnants of the once
great political party. With prominent
leaders of the party like John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, Senator Bacon
of Georgia, Senator Bankhead of Ala
bama and Culberson of Texas also op
posed to Bryan, It Is possible that the
movement started in Virginia may
reach proportions that will make it a
disturbing factor in the democratic na
tional convention.
CA1HADA ASD RECIPROCITY.
Tariff revisionists in Massachusetts,
both republicans and democrats, are
apparently working on a wrong pre
mise when they picture Canada stand
ing eagerly anxious to make any old
kind of a reciprocal trade agreement
with the United States. A dozen years
ago, when both parties in this country
were ostensibly pledged to the policy
of reciprocity, Canada was waiting at
the border as a willing customer. At
that time the Dominion had almost
measureless natural resources in tim
ber, coal, Iron ore and other elements
of natural wealth which It was willing
to exchange for manufactured prod
ucts. The duty on American manufac
tured goods was high and Canada
wanted to dicker, but through antago
nistic influences all plans for a reci
procity treaty were either killed or tied
up in the senate committees. Thrown
on its own resources, Canada has been
developing manufacturing Interests
until the Dominion today is something
of a protectionist in its own right and
no traae agreement win now be ac
cepted if it is a Jug-handled affair with
the handle on the American side.
The Canadians have built up their
manufacturing industries at great ex
pense and are beginning only now to
realize upon their investment. They
are strongly opposed to throwing down
the tariff wall which protects their
factories. The latest Canadian tariff
act openly gives a preference to British
products over those of the United
States, and this action was taken de
liberately as a notice to the United
states mat it takes two parties to
make a reciprocal agreement.
Despite the tariff obstacles In the
way the trade between the United
States and Canada Is growing each
year. In the last fiscal year the United
states imported from Canada goods
valued at $68,000,000, mostly raw ma
terials, and sent to Canada goods, prln
clpally manufactured, valued at $157,
000.000, leaving a healthy balance of
trade In our favor. This trade might
easily be trebled under proper trade
agreements, but the time has passed
when Canada can be expected to make
the overtures. This Is clearly and
forcibly set out by the Montreal Star,
the leading newspaper of the Domin
ion which concludes a lengthy edi
torial on the trade relations between
the United States and Canada with
these words:
Much better relations can be established
If th Americans will remove, from their
tariff the definite spirit of hostility which
It now seems to wear when looking this
way. It waa conceived In a spirit of coer
cion toward Canada. There Is no use de
nying this, for It waa not regarded as a
secret when the tariff waa written. A bet
ter feeling has arisen since, but the hostile
schedules have remained. In the new tariff
we will hop to be able to perceive th
spirit of nelghborllness of give-aid-take
and out of this will grow a better state of
affairs which will have results far beyond
the confines of customs houses. Canada
has surely convinced Its big neighbor by
this time that w cannot be coerced. Nor
can we be coaxed. British connection Is
with us a permanent policy, and we have
no Intention of Joining In a trade polio
which will imperil the commercial basis of
that connection.
In Jhe discussion of tariff and reci
procity propositions revisionists and
standpatters alike may .well afford to
look at the situation from the Cana
dlan viewpoint before reaching hasty
conclusions.
ARIZONA A9D IttW MEXICO.
Citizens of Arizona and New Mexico
will be gratified at the announcement
from Oyster Bay that, so far as Presi
dent Roosevelt Is concerned, no fur
ther effort will be made to Induce New
Mexico and Arizona to come into the
union as one state. This is practically
a notice that the territorial form of
government will have to be maintained
yet for some years, as neither Arizona
nor New Mexico can present claims for
Immediate statehood which congress,
In its present temper, will recognize,
but the citizens of the territories will
doubtless be glad to wait a few years,
with the assurance of final admission
as separate states, instead of being
forced Into a union obnoxious to both.
The Joint statehood bill, uniting Ok
lahoma and the Indian Territory as
one state and Arizona and New
Mexico as another, was devised by a
clique of eastern senators who have
dominated congressional legislation for
good many years, and who saw,
or Imagined they saw, their supremacy
threatened by the prospective addition
of eight United States senators from
the west and southwest. They suc
ceeded in forcing the Joint statehood
agreement through for Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory, and those two
territories will form one state, although
each has population, area and wealth
enough to be admitted as a single
state.
Advocates of statehood from Ari
zona and New Mexico, nowever, re
fused to accept the agreement and
both territories voted against union.
The territories are separated by an Im
passable mountain range, have differ
ent populations of different character
of people and have no more In com
mon In that respect than has Massa
chusetts and Mexico. The attempt to
unite them in one state was an error
and. it . will not be repeated, but the
way will be left open for them now to
come Into the union as separate states
when 1 they can' prove up the proper
qualifications.
A COKVEXTIUN BVREAV HEEDED.
When the money was being raised
by popular subscription to build the
Auditorium the best pulling argument
was that Omaha must be In position
to take care of the conventions and
big gatherings of state and national
societies and organizations that would
select this city as their meeting place.
Although the Auditorium has been
built, Omaha has not yet become a
recognized convention city and must
take on Itself whatever blame may at
tach to this failure. The. reason why
Omaha does not get more big conven
tions is that we do not go after tkem
in the right way. While some con
ventions have been secured, efforts
have been made from time to time to
persuade various organizations to
choose Omaha as their meeting place,
only to prove unsuccessful because
the stronger claims of other cities were
given preferment.
Omaha's weakness in going after
conventions consists In its lack of sys
tematic and persistent promotion
work. It has to meet the operations
of permanent convention bureaus reg
ularly maintained by a number of
other pushing cities. These conven
tion bureaus, usually conducted in
connection with a publicity agency,
lay the foundations far in advance for
their campaigns to capture the prizes
for which they are seeking. They
keep fully Informed of the geographic
movements of these conventions and
post themselves as to when they can
be most easily brought to their sec
tion. They get out attractive litera
ture, re-enforce delegatlona sent on to
do the field work and, last, but not
least, they take care of the conven
tions when they are finally landed in
such a way as to make each crowd en
tertained an advance agent for the
next one.
To maintain a well organized con
ventjon bureau would, of course, cost
money, but other cities in Omaha's
class have found that it is a paying in
vestment and there is no good reason
why it could not be made likewise
profitable to Omaha.
The excuse for creating a water
board for the city of Omaha was that
the champions of Immediate compul
sory purchase objected to entrusting
tp the mayor and council the handling
of several million dollars that would
have to be voted to make the deal.
When it comes to trusting the pro
ceeds of $3,500,000 of gas bonds to
the present democratic mayor and
council the taxpayers will want to
think twice.
The order of the State Board of
Public Lands and Buildings abolishing

Inspecting the state penitentiary is the
right thing. It Is perfectly proper to
restrict the admission of outsiders to
a prison or even to exclude' them al
together, but when people are per
mitted to go through a state institu
tion they ought riot to have to buy
tickets at the door.
The proposition is made to cut the
Philippines into four parts and divide
them between Japan, Russia, France

or England.

New Torkers dearly like a prince. Som
Sn.OTO of them, all that could get within
the gates, jammed Into a resort at Coney
Island Saturday night to see Prince Wll
helm of Sweden. Surrounded by polk-,
soldiery and Spanish war veterans, the
prlnco slowly worked through the vast mob
which sought to press upon him. Stand
ing six feet and three Inches In height, he
was readily seen above th heads and
shoulders of his escort and the crowd could
get a good glimpse of th royal counte
nance. Cheer upon cheer arose and he
bowed and smiled and tipped his hat to
the enthusiasts. As he proceeded through
the grounds children were held on high by
their parents, women were hoisted to th
shoulders of their escorts, every possible
vantage ground was seised by the crowd,
which was cheering Itself hoarse. The
prlnco was apparently pleased with his
reception and bowed his acknowledgments
all the way.
Finally the grand ball room was entered
and the parade continued down the floor
to .the sea end of the building. After the
solilery poured th crowd until 26,000 had
packed and Jammed themselves Into th
building. It seemed impossible for any to
move about Every available- inch of stand
ing room had been taken.
It was then the trouble began. 8oma ono
In the crowd started the cry for a speech.
The prince mounted a table at the soa
end of the hall and looked out over that
vast audience which crowded the mammoth
building to its utmost limits. It was Im
possible for him to bo heard a doxen feet
away and an attempt to make a speech
would have been simply futile. He did his
best, however, by bowing and smiling to
the crowd.
At this point the enthusiasm of the crowd
seemed to grow into hysteria. The cheers
which had first greeted the prince changed
to shouts and screams and the crowd began
to surge forward toward the royal visitor.
A woman screamed and fainted. The po
lice had to make their way to her with
their clubs. They took her from the Jam
and laid her on a table near at hand to re
vive her. Then another woman fainted
and another, until within fifteen minutes
six were carried out of the crush and dis
posed on the tables.
A man with a little child In his arms got
caught In the press and had to be rescued
by the policemen. After that the cops
would not let anybody with children get
Into the eddy of the packed hundreds.
The prince tried to take the reception as
philosophically as he could, but before one
quarter of the curious folk had passed in
review he announced that he had had
enough.
His guards managed to smuggle him
through a back door and to his automobile
before the crowds took up the pursuit.
The prince's three-Inch collar was wilted
about his neck and his sack coat showed
signs of heavy wear when he took his
seat In the machine.
Local pawnbrokers say that more rob
beries have been committed in New York
during the last month than for a corre
sponding period In many years. Th pawn
brokers base their statement on the fact
that an unusual number of lists of stolen
articles have been brought to them by
detectives, both city and agency men, dur
ing the period named. Many of these rob
beries have never been made public. From
the valuable character of articles In these
lists It Is Inferred that they represent rob
beries of many homes of wealthy people.
One pawnbroker had six lists presented to
him In; one day last week of stolen goods
aggregating. $23,000. As very' little of the
stolen property has been found in pawn
shops, it is believed that most of It has
been disposed of to "fences."
The unique application to have a woman's
"lips sealed forever" was made yesterday
to Justice Dickey In the supreme court,
Brooklyn, by Daniel Tallman, a broker,
when he asked the court to enjoin Mar
garet Markland, formerly in his employ,
from divulging any information concerning
his business methods.
Were others to become acquainted with
his business system, Tallman declared, his
business would be "Injured, If not de
stroyed.' Every girl entering his employ,
he said, he required to take an oath that
she would "forever keep silent" on what
she had learned of his business methods.
He said Miss Markland had left his em
ploy and he feared she was not living up
to the oath.
Henry Hudson did not discover the river
which bear his name until the other
day. Reason is he has been living in
Florida all these years.
On his arrival In New Torn he determined
to see tho sights, and did see them. He
strolled into Madison Square, sat down
and fell asleep.
Thero was something missing from his
month when he awoke, and he made an
Investigation. It did not take him long to
learn that somebody had removed seven
gold teeth from his mouth with a pair of
pincers.
Mr. Hudson went to the West Tnirtietn
street police station and whistled his woes
to the lieutenant.
H -aid he didn't know why he had not
been awakened by the despoller unless
it was because he had received knockout
drops "somewhere."
A roll of bills In his pocket was undis
turbed, and the police are wondering If
he did not bite off his teeth and swallow
them.
In addition to the New Tork policemen
being a good looking body of men, they are
to be athletic. If they make use of one
quarter of the appliances with which th

Market and Center streets. Is to be
equlrped.'for no college gymnasium will
be bettervBupplIed with strength developing
devices than the commodious athletic quar

building. It Is expected that th new
headquarters will be, open for occupancy
next July.

I1ICHARD MANSFIELD.
A Great Los.
St. Louts Republic,
Not since Edwin Booth departed this life
has the American stage suffered so great
a loss.
Last ef Hla Kind.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
As the last chapter In a great career is
being written may we not paraphrase the
words of the great dramatist: "We shall
not look upon his like again?"
A Personal Loss.
Baltimore American.
There are thousands of theatergoers to
whom Mansfield embodied the best and
highest of the stage, who felt him as an
inspiration and who will regret his death
with a gejiutn sense of personal loss.
Striking- Type of Hla Time.
St. Louis Times.
Mansfield starved and strove, studied and
thrived, succeeded and died, a queer ad
mixture of genius, skill, cultivation, tem
perament and Individuality on of the
striking types of his time.
Master.
Brooklyn Eagle.
His art and Its representatives, now that
he Is dead, will write Master against his
name, and will extend to his shade tributes
they may have withheld during his time.
That Is the way the world goes. That is
the law of posthumous recognition.
Off th Statre.
Boston Transcript.
Off the stage he was an Intellectual com
panion, charming In conversation and a
vigorous and adroit controversallst. Unlike
the majority of his profession, his Interests
were not. bounded by the footlights, and
among his friends, his companions and his
guests he proved himself a man of the
world as well as a man of the theater.
No One for HI Place.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Actors of Richard Mansfield's quality,
men of his mental and physical energy,
courage and spirit are not born every year,
or every hundred years, end his place on
the stag of the American theater will be
vacant as long as will that of Henry Irving
in England. He la dead, and the greatest
characters he created died with him.
Aimed and Stood Hlah.
New York Sun,
Tet, In gratitude to an actor and a man
ager who aimed and stood so high when
the stag was but a shop to sell such
entertainment or excitement as they are
capable of to plethoric and prosperous
citizens after dinner, let It be recorded that
Richard Mansfield did keep alive and com
municate to his hearers some spark of a
finer Intelligence and a more sympathetic
study of the art of the stage.
