' . Bryta 0 Underwood. Mr. Bryan it never so Interesting as when be turns on bis own party He is doing some castigating today that will make still better reading about a year and three months from now. , His confessions have to do more with his party an Its present leaders than with himself, .and par ticularly with Representative Under wood, who as chairman of the ways and means committee and leader of the house majority, stands as the vir tual bead and body of the militant democracy. According to Mr. Bryan, i Mr. Underwood not only is outazaring former' Speaker Cannon In his gag rule methods, but he is betraying his party and renouncing Its pledges. As for 8peaker Clark, he Is only one of Underwood's pawns, moved about at wilK Underwood, with his King Cau cus, Is floor leader and speaker all in one, and he manipulates the house rules as If they were a code of ethics devised for his own private conveni ence In putting through measures he, or those he is serrlng, desire. By the aid of King Caucus, Czar Underwood, Mr. Bryan says, is able to conceal all his maneuvers from the public until they are completed In ac tion and it Is too late to thwart them. Mr. Bryan goes even further and ac cuses Underwood of betraying his party to the extent of secretly de feating the speaker's own program of tariff reduction and serving the steel and iron Interests by resisting tariff reduction on those articles. In the Commoner he says: The action of Chairman I'nderwood In opposing an Immediate effort -to reduce the Iron and steel schedule reveals tho real I'nderwood. Mr. Bryan ought to know .Mr. Vn" derwood. He has had the opportunity. When he says the "real Underwood," therefore, his words cannot escape a certain sinister meaning. Tire high est form of political perfidy it for a subordinate leader to betray the plans of the real leader of his party, and this Mr. Bryan charges Mr. UndeT wood hat done in overturning Champ Clark's revision program. To shear him of his power foe evil Mr. Bryan recommends changing the caucus rules. But, nobody believes those rules will be so changed. , The republicans owe Mr. Bryan a vote of thanks, however, for this full and fair exposure of the perfidy of his party. It should help the people in 1912, when they come to ' decide whether they want that party installed more fully In power. West Blazing the Way. Several western states are agitating state highways. . Among 'them are Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Ok lahoma, and then there It the project for a through thoroughfare from the Missouri river to the Pacific' coast and the Omaha-to-Denver road. And this agitation Is not one that will soon subside. Rather, it will grow and de velop, into real results. The west is taking the lead in one of the most important questions economic ques tions of the day, the question of good roads. Certain southern states, notably Georgia, must be credited also with leading parts. No one may say that the matter of good roads it not an economic ques tion, and no one will say it who has given any thought to the subject. The woman at the country grocery com plains because, for instance, eggs are abnormally high. The merchant ad mits, it and adds that, owing to the bad roads, the farmers will not come to town with their produce. . It Is an old question. It applies just the same to corn and wheat and other farm products. Good roads or bad roads affect not only the disposition of the farmer to take his products to market, but, consequently, the price of commodities, the cost of transpor tation, the price of land, of labor and, In the end, largely, the cost of living. Indeed It Is , pre-eminently an eco nomic question. It is of the utmost Importance, therefore, that all these movements looking to better country highways receive the co-operation of everybody who can help. One writer has put it: "The gospel of good roads has come to mean the salvation of dying towns and sick communities." Yes, and the grace of living cities as well. It Is fundamental; few questions before the American people today are more so. We have gone far enough toward its solution, to find that we are wast ing money on poor roads and thus re tarding the progress of many vital problems that need to be worked out before the laws of supply and demand can work as systematically as they should. Dreuth at Its Worst. People of this section of the country who feel like complaining because of the oontlaue'd deficiency in precipita tion will find upon investigation' that they are exceedingly well off as com pared with other parts of the land la North and South Carolina, for In stance, people are actually suffering for want of water, and the depression it felt so keenly on Industry that 152 cotton mills have been forced to close down altogether. Charlotte, N. C, Is experiencing a water famine, which other nearby cities are facing, accord Ing to dispatches. The drouth It the "worst eastern Kentucky has known la years." Tobacco and other crops are severely affected, clsternt and streams are drying up and people are without an adequate supply of water for living purposes. Grasshoppers menace certain sections in .Kansas. Homesteaders In South Dakota are struggling with destitution at the re sult of uo rata and crop' destruction and railroad are- coming to their ret- cue In the matter of free freight trans portation. The cllmak of- adversity from weather conditions seems to be reached In the out-of-the-way town of Florence, Mo., where a man has been arrested for "stealing" a bucket of water. Evidently water is a precious article in Florence. Nothing approaching these extremi ties has been known in this immediate vicinity, though everyone admits more rain Is needed. In the main, however, we may regard ourselves p.s reasonably fortunate, and In some Jflie8 88 normally well off, for there are parts of Nebraska where rain In plenty has fallen, A fair review of the situation over the country only serves to emphasize the notable fart that this middle-west, especially Ne braska, averages up In temperature, winter and summer, and in precipita tion somewhere near the mean. Etiquette for Office Seeker. No one better than the office seeker chasing a primary nomination realizes the trnth of the old adage. "If you don't blow your own born, nobody will blow it for you." At the same time customary etiquette requires the candidate to feign a degreo of mod esty, even If he has it not, and the real difficulty comes In striking the right glow of unobtrusiveness without hiding all the light under a bushel. Out in the rural districts, even more than here, the practice prevails for candidates to announce themselves In formal cards in the county stt weekly. These cards afford material for a political primer. Without going, outside of a single county, some of tho literary gems are worth noting. Here is the standard form good at any time and In any place: I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of county treasurer. Your vote and assistance will he highly appre ciated. Sometimes, however, it looks better to have others push you into the ring in this fashion: At the solicitation of friends, and prompted by my own desires, I, have an nounced myself, etc. It ia an office for which I feel myself well qualified by reason of my experience as county assessor in recent years, and I will be truly grate ful for any support given me. PosBlbly this one is still more po litely framed: At the solicitation of my many friends I have consented to become a candidate, etc. For a few variations, perhaps the following will do: It Is now ten years alnce 1 left the office ef county JucIkc, which I had held for four years. I enjoyed the probate work and took pride In settling the estates right. I ' would like to engage In the same work again, and will feel grateful to my many friends, etc. Or thlt: I desire to announce myself a candidate, etc. I have been a resident of the county thirty-one years, and, invite investigation as to my standing as a citizen and my capabilities to perform the duties of the office I am asking. I shall truly appre ciate any support In my behalf. If bluntness has any virtue, the sub joined will have the desired effect: 1 submit my name as a candidate, etc. I have no argument to make in my own behalf. I ask all democrats In tbe county to look up my record as a man, as a demo crat and as an official In various clerical positions, and if my name and my record should appear good, then I hope to win your approval at the party primary. Who says politics is not a school of citizenship? Who denies that the direct primary Is an educational insti tution? Now that the barbers' Sunday clos ing ordinance proves to be a skimmer full of boles, the lawyer who was boasting its authorship thinks to avoid responsibility by declaring that he merely made a computation of simi lar ordinances in other cities. Had the test case turned the other way no such confession would have been forthcoming. State Superintendent of Public In struction Crabtree is said to be on the point of resigning to accept a place at the head of an educational institu tion in another state. His predecessor in the same office resigned under like circumstances. The next incumbent should sign a contract to put tempta tion behind him and serve out the term. I Ex-Governor Folk Is said to have given answers to Mr. Bryan's thirteen questions "just at any progressive democrat would." It Is a safe wager, however, that there will be several points of divergence between the an swers made by Mr. Folk and the an swers made by Governor Harmon, if he ever answers.

Pee, the C'aaqaertnsr II era Comes." Admit al Togo, the famous naval warrior of Japan, whose genius swept the Russian navy off the far eastern seas, will be the guest of the United Rates government from his arrival In New York this week until he leaves 8an Francisco 'or home several weeks hence. The admiral's afflclal chaperon will be Captain Templln K. Fotts, I'nited States aavy, chief naval Intelligence tffecr. When the admiral arrives. Thurs day or Friday, some of our naval vessels will go down the bay and fire a welcom ing salute. Captain I'otts will then go abourd the hero's ship at quarantine and extend the official glad hand. The admiral will then complete his Americanward Journey on board the flagship of our nuadron. whose band will play "See the Conquering Hero Comes," while the land batteties boom and the harbor craft dip their colors. Ami after giving the admiral a glimpse of the metropolis Captain Potts will steer Itlm through Washington and Philadelphia, show him the majesty of Niagara and conduct hltn by sperlul car t the Pacific coast. Toko's val Training. Togo's naval training was begun In Eng land, where, as a young man, lie attended the naval college in Greenwich. He also Inherited his taste for the sea, as he came of the Satauma ctan, a tribe noted for Its great sea warriors. Indeed, prior to the time of the China-Japanese war, the Japa nese fleet was manned almost wholly by the Satsuma clan, just as the army was drawn from the Choshu clan. Nowadays, neither navy nor army Is entirely given over to these, the two most powerful of the clans of Japan, but many men from all over the empire are to be found in both services. When .Togo entered the navy, however, its whole personnel was Satsuma. Returning to Japan, he was employed In various capacities. In 1894, when war broke out between China and Japan, he 'was in command of the Naniwa, a cruiser of 3,650 tons, one of the vessels composing what was then known as the first flying squadron of the Japanese navy. During the war he greatly distinguished himself, and earned the reputation of being a first class fighting man. Unman Side of tbe Admiral. The human side of the man, relates the New York Post, came to the fore at odd moments. Even the Navy department of Japan did not wholly trust him when he first became commander of the united fleet, and R sent spies after him to see If It was love of country or merely hatred of the Russians thai animated Togo. Togo undoubtedly did hate the Russians, though It was a hatred that he concealed beneath an emotional exterior. "If It Is only this grudge," argued the Navy department heads, "he will blow hot and cold, but If It is loyalty to the empire. he will fight to the end." So the spies followed him, but they could make no satisfactory report. He knew he was watched. To allay suspicion, or rather to restore confidence, he did what the Japanese thought was a splendid thing. Under the strict Samurai code his code voluntary death ts the penalty for failure or disgrace. The famous hara-kiri knife, three and a half Inches long. Is the symbol as well as the instrument of that eode. Be fore leaving to attack Port Arthur, Togo appeared to relax his stern devotion to dis cipline when he said to his officers: "Bring your wives and children, and we will be merry for a day before we leave poiL" Farewell Family Party. The wives and children came, and many a happy family party was followed by a calm stoical Japanese leave-taking that afternoon on the shores of Saeebo, Then night fell. The last merrymakers had gone. On board the great black men-o'-war in the bay, there was naught now but grim disci pline. Togo, ever mindful of the presence of spies from Toklo, prepared to demon strata bis layalty to Japan and to the mikado. His orders to all captains and leading officers of the fleet were that they should report to hint that night aboard the flagship singly and In the order of senior ity. One by one they entered his silent cabin and he spoka no word of greeting. but only bowed his head In grave recog nition. In full uniform his sword girt on. he sat solemnly upright, and resting on a cushion that lay before him, was the keen- bladed hara-kiri knife of the Samurai. As each officer entered and saluted the chief acknowedged bis salute. He spoke no word. None was needed. With a grave ges ture toward the gleaming blade, Togo mo tioned his guest away and bade the next approach. It was midnight before tbls grim pan tomlme was ended In the half light of the admiral's cabin In the Mlkasa. And when Japan's navy sailed away to neet the enemy every officer abroard knew that he carried the Emperor's commission either for victory or for death. And the Navy Departmtnt knew that Togo could be trusted. The Master Stroke. Not many days later the trust of hlH countrymen turned to abject adoration With one swtft stroke, the master sea- fighter of Japan had reduced Rojestven sky's fleet of Russian battleships to to many helpless hulls. It was without doubt the greatest naval victory of the century, and the sea-craft and skill of the little man that had guided the course of tho mikado's fleet made many an Europ ran and American naval commander mar vel. It waa then that they nicknamed him the Nelson of Japan. Bearing In mind that Togo was a sick man througheut the engagement with the fleeing Russian fleet, it emphasises the al most reckless courage of him to state that he directed the movements of his ships from the bridge Instead of taking udvan tags of the shelter of the conning tower Tbe fight was at its hottest when a six inch shell struck the chart room directly under his bridge, killing every man in it. Some of Die splinters whlssed by Togo and his staff, and four of his officers were wounded. The admiral, after seeing that the wounded officers were attended to, re turned bis place on the bridge. the Falta(a) ValeC There was aboard as old vaiet of hie, a feudal retainer of hla family. This man, when ha J?ard that the admiral was in a place of ?.eat danger broke ail Japanese etiquette aad rushed to the gangway lead ing to the br'age. There be hesitated, but a shell struck Just then, wounding Imperial Prinoe Fushlmi, who waa aboard. The valet made a rush and prostrated himself before Togo, begging hhn, for tbe gpod of Japa. to go to the evening tower. Tae admiral, with a half emasea serlooaness, gave a kind refusal. Just then the six-inch shell struck the chart room sad scattered the staff. A fly ing splinter weunded tho valot ea both legs, lie was carried to the hospital, howling protest, from Ms eot he implored the sur. gewas to carry the admiral away by force.
