A DULL CAMPAIGN.
In ft llttlo over two wcckH nnothot
presidential election will occur, nnd
In most pnrtB of the country It will
lie one of thn quiet kind. The enm
pnlgn hns on the wholo been devoid
of excitement nml of the IntcroBt in?
unlly tnken hy tlio pcoplo In n prosl
tlonllnl election. 'This Ih partly be
cntiHu nil well-informed men hnvo nc
doubt of tlio result, nnd partly bo
cntiso thoro nro no Brent Issues slinrp
ly dividing tlio pnrtlea. The country
In pretty well off, nnd doesn't wnnt
to tnnko a cliango of Ub ndmlnlstrn
tlon, even If It Iiub not been entirely
perfect, nnd then no posltlvo nnd de
finite change Ib proposed by the donv
ocrntB. Almost nil thoy do Ib Htrlke
back nnd crltlclso this, tbnt ntid the
other policy, rather vaguely, without
making nny posltlvo pledgoB ns to
whnt they would do If thoy hnd n
riinnco. Nor, In fnct, would thoy
tic differently In nny respect In nny
npproclnblo degree, or if they did
Ihcro lu good ground for flusplclon
thnt thoy would do worso Instead ol
bettor.
Mr. Bryan, who ntlll has mora fol
lowers nnd admirers than any othoi
democrat, flnyn Imporlallfltn Ib the par
nmount Issue, but it Ib not clenr whnl
ho would do, or havo I'nrkor do, about
It. Dut If ho did anything It would
probably only bo something that the
American pooplo would not npprovc
of, or thnt would not bo for their ben
?IU, nnd no they don't wnnt It. The
l-'lllplnoB nro bettor off than thoy
over wore, or would or could bo If
left to thomBolvcH, for nit yet thoy
could not take euro of thoniHidvoH, but
would nt onco fall to destroying one
another. Uonldcs, It Ih very Import
tint for tho United StntOH to retain
the commnndlug position lu tho Ori
ent that It accidentally gained there.
Tho Oriental commerce of tho future
will bo n great thing for tho American
pcoplo; thoy want an open door In
Clilnu, Jnpau and Korea, and by being
In tho I'hlllppluo Islands nro In it
position to demnnd what they desire.
Mr. Parker will not gain any net
otcH by talking Imperialism, or hint
ing that wo should abandon tho Is
lands. "Mllltnrlsm", that Mr. Ilryan
talkH about considerably, Ih only u
bogey, nnd thnt ho putn It forward
only hIiowh how hard pressed hu Ih
for something to hang nu Issuo on.
Nobody Ih sen red about our llttlo
nrmy, nnd few listen with patience
to tho cry of "mllltailum",
Kxtrnvagaui'o Ih Judge Parker's
chief point of attack, and doubtless
Homo expenditures Imvo been borne
what more than absolutely necessary,
but tho United Btatcu government Is
a very big concern to run, nnd to run
It takes n good deal of money. No
body questions President IIoohovcH'h
honesty, nor that as far aa lies lu his
power ho will havo none but honest
men under him. Tho chances arc
that tho government Ih as honestly
and economically administered iih It
would bo under any president, nnd fai
moro efficiently than It would bo K
tho democrntH regnlned power.
A great deal haa been said about
trusts, but hero also the democratic
leaders show up In a hnd light, when
over thoy begin to tnlk, for It ap
pears that sonio of tho woiBt of tho
trusts uro supporting nnd contribut
ing to them, In fact, with such n
candidate as Judgo Parker, nnd such
supporters as (lorninn. Ilelmont, Slice
linn and others, talk about tho trusts
falls flat, und Is considered evorywhoro
as Insincere. President Itooaovolt
has shown on moro than ono occasion
that ho lu not afraid of tho trusts, and
la Independent of thorn, and tho anti
trust people had rathor trust him
than Parker to do whatever curbing
of tho trusts Is possible
Tho pcoplo rofuso to tnko much In
terest or stock In democratic assaults
on tho tariff. Tho people nro gonor
ally pretty well off, and don't enro
nbout tho tariff, or bollovo It Is about
as nearly right now as It could bo
mado at present, and that democratic
tinkering would only inuko It worse.
The democrats would not bo In power
In congress anyway, even If Parker
rhould bo olocted, bo could do nothing
wIbo or Bnfo to entrust them with the
Job.
These nro substantially tho reas
ons, besides President Itoosovclt's
splendid personality nnd tho confi
dence the pcoplo feel In him, why ho
will surely nnd cnslly bo elected, nnd
why so great n proportion of voters
nro taking no grcnt Interest In the
campaign.
THE TELEPHONE STRIKE.
Tho Pacific States Telephone Com
pany has sufficient reason, In many
Instances that might bo cited, for re
fusing to employ glrla who belong to
n union, for In bucIi work strict dls
clpllno must bo maintained, nnd the
company cannot well consent to sub
ject Itself to such dictation or Inter
ference as might result from n union
of tho "hollo girls." This Ib espec
ially tho caso when, ns tho mnnngcr
points out, this union, If It wcro to be
formed, might bo Influenced by othct
unions composed of men to go out nt
a critical tlmo on a sympathetic
strike. Tho company feels that It
must protect Itself against such n con
tingency, nnd tho position it takes Is
not unreasonable.
On tho other hnnd, tho girls nppcat
to have a Just grievance, In tho mat
ter of wages, If In no other respect.
With tho cost of living much Increas
ed during tho pnst fow years, nnd tho
necessity for theso glrla to dress well
and live comfortably, not to speak of
tho Importance nnd vnliio of their
work, It scorns thnt tho pay they re
ceive Ib not whnt It ought to be. 01
course this company, like almost nil
employers, secures Its labor In thn
open market at tho lowest rnto con
sistent with clllcleut service, nnd If
these girls won't work nt tho wages
paid, others will; yet that Is not a
sound ethical position to take. The
work, tho public generally bollovo, Ib
work worth moro thnn Ih paid for It,
and If bo tho public, which Ib con-
ctnntly nnd Importantly Interested in
good sorvlco, havo a right to express
that opinion, nnd to do whatever tho
reasonably can to mako this opinion
Inlluentlnl with tho company.
Probably tho other regulations nro
leiiHonublo, or not very Important;
but the matter of wages Ih something
that tho cnmpnny, if It bo making
largo dividends, ought to consider.
.Such Injustice, If It bo one, or If the
public consider It ns such, Ih one ol
several causes that will ovciitually
lead to tho public ownership of all
such public utilities.
Tho election down South will bo a lhtattiiWMf'M.ii4i
moro farce.
Tho farmers and business men nro
not kicking about the tariff.
Bryan and Cleveland are not overly
In lovo with each other yot.

Roosovolt Is a friend of tho West.

Ih over suven months off. A good
many men, a fow of thorn worthy, but
moHt of thorn of rather light caliber

very well to succeed Judgo Williams,
who It Ih Hiippnsed will bo willing to
lay down the cares and burdens of tho

account of tho LowIh nnd Clark fair
next year, that a big, strong, bright,
thoroughly capable man bo elected
mayor, though It Ih tather unfortun
ate that thn election Ih to occur Just
after the fair opens. Tho mayor in
the fair year should bo ono of tho
ablest men of tho city, ono of largo
administrative ability and of super
