Theoretically, anyone with half an
Imagination can. see what excellent re
sult could flow from the annual com
ing together of the chief executives
of our American commonwealths, but,
candidly, the actual practical benefits
are not yet visible to the naked eye.
This year some of the subjects
scheduled for discussion will be: "The
Inheritance Statistics and State
Comity," "The Right of the State to
Fix Intrastate Traffic Rates," "State
Control of Public Utilities," "Prob
lem of Prison Labor" and others. One
has a right to ask, without reflecting
upon the character of this great move
ment, what vital problem of state or
national government have been solved
or advanced as a result of these gov
ernors' conferences?
The governors, no doubt, personally
and socially enjoy coming together
and no one begrudge them the out
ing, but people are liable some day to
ask impertinent question respecting
result and benefits that would not
otherwise hare come.
Time for Sanity and Sobriety,
The president's address to the
Grand Army of the Republic In annual
encampment at Rochester, in which
he sounded a note against quack
nostrums of civic reform, is exactly
the kind of speechmaklng most needed
now. Thoughtful people are prone to
believe that, as bad as some of the
abuse of privilege have been, some of
the proposed remedies would bring
worse evils. Just as during the civil
war time thia country required a
sane, sound balance of mind to guide
it safely through it laybrlnth of dan
gers, so today It must have precisely
that kind of leadership In control.
If one-half of the reforms proposed
had been enacted into law by congress,
or yet should be enacted, the country's
plight would be indeed deplorable and
there would be no telling when it
would get out of it. But, aa the presi
dent haa said, "so long as we retain
In this country a God-fearing, sober,
intelligent people, we can count In the
long run upon their working out
sanely and safely the problems set
before them, no matter how many
mistake in the form of nostrums they
may have been led into by the spe-
clousnes of half-baked theories of
progress, no matter how many times
they may have been defeated in their
purpose by the temporary state of
undue and corrupt Influence of con
centrated wealth."
The country Will not succumb either
to. Irrational radicalism or to retarding
reaction. It will go ahead steadily and
steadfastly along the path of common
sense In the future as In the past.
A Misdirected Protest.
Governor Aldrich's protest against
the extravagant (?) outlay of candi
dates for office for newspaper adver
Using I treated at length in a most
serious vein by the Lincoln Journal
Unfortunately, the Journal misses the
real point: What the office seekers
object to Is not newspaper advertising,
but paid-for newspaper advertising.
Every one of them want all the news
paper advertising he can get for noth
ing, In fact, seems to be imbued with
the idea that the only purpose of a
newspaper is to boost for candidates
for office and give them space which
other would be required to pay for at
regular advertising rate.
Another thing overlooked 1 the fact
that candidate do not patronize the
newspaper advertising columns out of
motives of generosity or charity, but
because it is the cheapest and most
effective way to get the publicity neces
sary to call attention of the voters to
their claim and promise. The only
alternatives are personal visits and In
dividual letters. The visit are out of
the question. To send letters to 60,000
people would cost $ 1,000 for postage
alone, where more than that number
of voters can be talked to every day
for a month by an ad in The Bee at a
mall fraction of that amount.
Money spent by candidate on legiti
mate newspaper advertising needs no
excuses or apologies.

Getting On to the Hopes.
That our Congressman Lobeck is

clearly shown by a bill he has intro
duced, printed copies of which he ha

We congratulate our congressman on
having produced and sponsored this
masterpiece of legislation. We con
gratulate him on having gotten the bill
immediately advanced far enough to be
referred to the committee on military
affairs and ordered printed. Such
vigilance and energy must go far to
mitigate our grief over the fact that
the big end of our military headquar

A Hamman Prophecy Come Trne.
Evidently the late E. H. Harriman
knew what he was about when he
picked Edwin Hawley from among the
more obscure railroad men of the
country as a coming figure of com
manding power In the transportation
world. Mr. Hawley, at least, in the
space of the few year that have aince
elapsed, has removed himself from the
rank of obscurity.
Mr. Hawley' grasp of roada Is ex
tending faster than even aa faithful
admirer as Mr. Harriman could have
imagined. He not only ha 'tightened
his grip on a number of middle coun
try lines, but, has formed an alliance
with Stillwell's Orient line for Pacific
coast traffic on the south and worked
his way into the Canadian Northern
and the new Grand Trunk Pacific,
both competitor of the Canadian Pa
cific, for outlet on the north and into
the great, growing Canadian B north
west. By this latest deal Hawley la
said to checkmate the move of the
Canadian Pacific to get into the
United States through Sooand Wis
consin Central purchase.
The future of this new king of
commerce 1 more than most men care
to attempt to predict. Already be
has justified Mr. Harriman' faith and
brought out again the fact that the
late Pacific magnate wa not only a
wizard in finance and transportation,
but a wonderfully keen judge of men.
That was shown on another occasion
when he picked R. S. Lovett, now his
successor, as the official head of his
roads, for a coming railroad lawyer.
This faculty enabled Mr. Harriman to
triumph where many of 'his great
rivals were falling.
The American has always hoped
and expected much of the mental so
briety of Mr. Taft," say a Hearst pa
per, and now it is disappointed because
he had the courage to veto the recall
of Judges. Well, Mr. Taft cannot
hope to find all hi constituents a
mentally sober a himself.
The National baker asked them

If the Jacksonlans can revivify them
selves out of the political cemetery by
passing one resolution in a star cham
ber session attended by a half dozen
braves, then there must be more to this
resurrection business than show on
the surface.

A tab on tha output of Washington cor
respondents during the extra session shows
an almost unanimous score In favor of
Senator Crawford as the nn.t strenuous
and sonorous vocalist In the upper house.
His notes are pitched In a key that would
thrill a convention of deaf people, and his
physical exertions rival the minor stunts
of a gymnasium class. It Is possible the
Washington penmen are working off a
grouch on the Pakoten and exaggerate the
picture, but when three assert that the
senator's voice can be heard a mile away
there la a suspicion of soundness In the
charge. Senator Crawford requires consid
erable floor space when in action. He
walks to and fro between a line of desks,
emphasising his Inspired points by thump
ing the desks. A few days before the close
of tha session, while the Dakotan wss
driving home some of his licks, a corre
spondent relatea that ha inquired of Sen
ator Penrose what tha rumpus waa about.
"Oh, Mr. Crawford la taking a little exer
cise," answered Mr. Penrose. "Don't worry
about It. Tha government Is paying for It
and there wtl be no extra expense."
Vica President Sherman was holding his
hands over hla ears and looking at Mr.
Crawford In amaxement, when Secretary
Bennett slowly and solemnly climbed up
the steps to his desk and said:
"The boys up In tha press gallery com
plain that they are unable to hear Mr.
Crawford distinctly. They request that you
ask him to speak a little louder."
"Tell tha boys In the press gallery to go
to thunder," yelled Mr. Sherman, pulling
his mouth down at tha corners.
, Senator Carroll S. Page of Vermont Is
the exchange editor of the senate, minus
the shears. When the senator approaches
the senate chamber at the meeting hour
ha brings with him a great armful of news
papers. Sometimes a messenger carries
the overflow. After the musketry fire of
bills and petitions which make up the
"morning hour" Is over Senator Page re
tires with hla papera to a settee placed
across a far corner on the republican side.
He goes Into his newspapers like an ex
change editor.
When Senator Page finda something good
on the editorial page he grasps It at the
top and tears straight down through the
page. Things to be preserved are laid
aside in a chair. Newspapers when read go
with a careless jerk over the back of the
senate settee and fill the corner.
"If Champ Clark is nominated for the
presidency by the democrats he will make
one of the most vigorous as well aa pictur
esque campaigns we have ever seen," said
former Representative from Colorado Lafe
Pence, now of New York, in the Washing
ton Post.
"The speaker of the houxe haa not for
mally announced his candidacy, but it Is
good betting that he will be declared to
be Missouri's favorite son Inside a few
months. There Isn't any doubt that Champ
Clark has had the presidency In mind since
he was a young man. This was brought to
mind not long ago at the oapitol when a
Pennsylvania man dropped Into the speak
er's office. He hadn't Been Clark for
years, and he came to Washington to
renew an acquaintance begun In Bethany
college, In Weat Virginia, forty yeara ago.
The Pennsylvanlan recalled an Incident of
the Bethany days.
" 'One day,' he aald, 'when we were sit
ting In the chemical laboratory at old
Bethany, Champ turned to me auddsnly
tnd said in deadly earnest. "When I run
for president will you vote for me?"
" 'Of course I couldn't give any but an
affirmative answer,' said the speaker's old
friend, 'although It was a pretty tough
question to put'
"The best part about this incident Is that
the Pennsylvania man declared that ha la
a Clark candidate for delegate to the
convention, and that If elected, he will go
