YOUNG HEN
LEADPARTIES
Old-Timers Resent Selec
tion of Ollie James and
Frank Hitchcock
KEEPS HER HUSBAND
ON THE BLACK LIST
WASHINGTON', July 22. The old
politician in WtwhiuBton, with the
glory of miiny campaign fights upon
them, are more than vexed at tlie eutl
beiug given young men in the choice'
of leaden for the approaching presi
dential contest. It is awful, they think.
The probability of the Heleetion of
OW'w James, the big Kentucky con
gressman, to manage the campaign for
William Jennings Bryan has added to
their irritation over the selection f
Frank H. Hitchcock as chairman of the
Republican national committee. Old
men do not have a chance these days,
they say.
1 Little More Than Kids.
They point out that James is but lit- j
tie more than u kid. The truth Is that
he would be the youngest eumpaigu man- j
ager ever selected by a big politionl :
party. He is only 37 years old, but,i
due to the uncertainty of Democratic
victory in Kentucky, he has had a finger
in nearly every political campaign in
that state since he appeared ou the ter
restiul scene, and during the last few
presidential contests he has made a
reputation for himself in a subordinate
capacity. They enlist their followers
in their babyhood in the Uiuo (truss
state and the result is tho production
of a precocious politician, when the sub
ject can stand tho strain.
Friends of James are fond of refer
ring to his congressional career. He i
now serving his third term, and at the
last election a Republican could not be
found to run ngainst him. As a re
suit lie had 10,(hhi majority out of 14,
(Rill votes cast, Homo 2,000 voting for
the Prohibition candidate. Incidental
ly, it is noted that James has never
ueen a drawing card among the prohibi
tionists, althouga the Keutuckian has
grasped every opportunity in congress
to talk for prohibition.
James1 Rapid Rise.
The brilliancy of James is pointed out
by hiB rapid rise from page of the Ken
tuckion legislature in -the session of
1887 to his present position. In tluft
year Ben Johnson was speaker of the
house. Yet James hail been in congress
for two sessions before Johnson rose to
the height of commanding a seat in
the lower house of the national law-making
body.
James won attention as one of the
attorneys for Governor (ioebel in his
celebrated contest for governor of the
state of Kentucky, just before his as
sassination at the state house.
Hitchcock is several years older than
James, yet Hitchcock, at 41, iH counted
a young man. They are opposite types.
Calm, reserved und not tho least talk
ative, Hitchcock stands out in contrast
wit a the fuss and feathers, radicalism
and talkativeness of the Kentuckian.
But the latter has been able to deliver
the goods quite us successfully us the
Republican chairman.
An amusing case of a political and
domestic mix up comes from Emporia,
Ka. It gives nu inkling as to how
woman 's suffrage might work. The
editor of tho Emporia Times is Mrs.
Mary McCreary Parkmau. She is a
loyal democrat and has served two
terms as county superintendent. Her
husband is Harrison Parkmau, republi
can county surveyor, and candidate for
rt nomination. It is one of the rules
of the Times office that Mr. Parkmau 's
:ime shall not appear in the paper.
When a news item requires mention of
him he appears as the "county sur-
evor. This poliev of blacklisting
her husband in the town has created
much comment, and, in her own de
feuse, Mrs. Parkmau printed the follow
ing editorial:
We have been asked frequently why
keep our husbaud on the blacklist
iu the Emporia Tunes. Now, ordina
rily, what we do with our husband is
our own business. And it would seem iu
nil fairness that if wu put uu with
this man morning, noou ami night we
shouldn't havo to be putting him in
the paper all the tune, e and our
husbaud, like all married people, have
our agreements ami our disagreements.
We agree ou literature, religion, art,
the nebular hypothesis, the proper
method of poking the fire, the value
breakfast food as a brum builder,
paving, municipal ownership and the
fuels iu the Guuuess case. But we dis
agree on politics. Wo think our hus
band has a good deal of sense for a
mere man ou lots of subjects; but ou
polities he doesn't know inui-li. He is
republican a black republican, and
as such has no claims on us either ns
moulder of public opinion, as a fel
low citizen, or as a wife. We will conk
fur our husband, we will darn and
brush for him, and keep him up us out
husband. But as an office-holder of
vile, venal and corrupt organization,
in ennsarry ol Wall street and as an
oppressor of the poor, our husband has
only our unspeakable contempt. He
should thank his lucky stars that we
do keep his name out of the Times.
Could Defeat Him Easily.
We know enough of our husband.
.ton Id he attempt to press this matter
too far, to make his vote in this elec
tion little more than scattering. But
up to the present we hav said nothing.
We nave believed that our duty as a
wife had some claims ou our dut v as an
ditor. But a word to wise should be
suf fie lent, and if our husband has
learned a lick of sense from past ex
periences with us, he will take a grand
immortal tumble to himself and call
off his dogs. This newspaper is a free
and uutramiiieled organ of special priv-
leges to none and equal rights to all,
und if our husband thinks he belongs
to the privileged classes he is mighty
badlv fooled.
"We think n good bit of our hus
baud, first and last, and iu one way
and another, but we will permit no fool
ishness from this republican county sur
eyor. He is a bad lot, and we with
hold certain matters in this affair, ou
account of the respectability of the par
ties concerned." Ex.

SECOND PERFORMANCE
WASIIXGTON, July 22. Aeronauts
and army ullieers who look to them to
develop the art of war iu the fourth
medium the airship are beginning to
center their atteutiuu upon Port Mycr,
near Washington, where the army signal
corps is soon to determine by actual ex
periment what part aerial maneuvers
can bo made to play iu the American
game of warfare.
Captain Baldwin's dirigible balloon,
which he has built according to army
specifications, has been shipped and is
being assembled. In a few days it will
be put through the paces prescribed by
the signal corps. It is not built on so
large a scale as the Zeppelin dirigible
l.or is it expected to establish a record
for air craft. Yet the trials, if success
ful, will be important as marking the
beginning of a period of development
of nir navigation by the army.
Next month the Herring and Wright
:ieroplaues will be tried out under the
most exacting conditions. 1 hese trial
(lights are expected to be the longest at
luiiicd, the specifications calling-for a
machine that will remain iu the air for
an hour. The trials will also be the first
uolahlo public demonstration of the
W right machine, who has been the
great mystery of tho aeronautic world.
