Al though it could, in our judgment, be ftronger in two or fthree places, the ticket as a whole contains eclements of popularity that will commend it to the voters and should insure republican succens. 5 In placing W. W. Bingham at the head as the nonilnee for clerk of the district court, we belleve the cholce han rested on the mian best prepared to make a winning race against the present demo- eratic incumbent, whose strength is not to be,underrated. Mr. Bingham is a rep- rescentative business man who has been fn public life as A member of the city councll for two terms and 1s well and favorably known throughout the county. For sheriff, James Allan undoubtedly possesses the qualifications to fulfill the duties of the office. He has besides the elements that go to make a good cam- paigner and a personal popularity that shauld be servicéabls to Him now. As we sald during the preliminary cam- paign, he may be called on to explain parts of his re in other public posi- tions, and it s to be hoped he will be able to give explanations satisfactory to the voters. The selection of Robert Fink to run for treawurer could scarcely be improved on. Mr. Fink is already familiar with thé duties of the office. He is a German- American who has a wide acquaintance with the voters and who stands well with all classes. p Of the nominee for county judge, re- nominated for a third term, The Bee has expressed its opinion without 'reserve during the preliminary campalgn. It does not think the redord of Judge Vin- sonbaler should have been éndorsed. A majority of the republicans at the pri- mirles saw fit to taks a different view and The Bee is content to leave his glalm to be ratified or rejected by the, voters at the pollk. The candidacy of Harry D. Réed for the newly creatéd office of county asses- #or can be unqualifiedly commended. Mr. Reed is in every way por{’ctly equipped to innugurate the reforms ex- pected from the occupant of this im- portant positioh. His knowledge of redity vhltes and eéxperience In apprals- Ing property, together with his service ‘on the Board of Review, make bimr the man for the place. His integrity, mote- ‘over; which Is all important, has never been questioned.’ A For_county clerk Charles Unitt ha m ven the ty to make the race which he lost two years 4go, It will depend largely. on his ustling abilities whether the office of county clerk can be recaptured for the tepublicans this time. ¥ The nominee for commissioner, M. J. Kennard, i1s a man who stands high in business circles and who will, we are sure, @il the position acceptably to the tacpayers. - ..% .. 7 Fot the legi¥litife vacaicy thé selec- tion of Henry C.

The othier names on the county ticket represent renmominations in recognition méritorious service—Ooroner Brailey, Surveyor Edquist and Superintendent of Schiople Bodwell.. It goes without saying reputation that hus grown out of gur present policy and the cure will have been accomplished.” That it I8 practicable to do this is nox to be doubted. Provision his already been made for enabling the gov: t to ascertain the character of the organi- vation of corporations and their meth- ods of management and business A burenu for this purpose has been estab- lished and is now in operation. If the authority conferred upon it by congress shall be sustained By the courts—for andoubtedly the courts will be appealed to-the knowledge necessary to safo- guard the pubiic against dishonest cor porations can be obtained. Under the authority of this bureau every corpora- tion engaged Im commerce among states or with forel countries can be inspected and if ti is found to be anything frandulent in them the faots will be made public. It is reasonably to be expected that this will put an end to incorporated dishonesty, for it is cer- tainly safe to assume that mo one will Invest in a corporation that has not met the requirements of the government in- vestigation. Judge Grosscupy's,viéw ia unquestionably sound apd will be ap- proved by a very large majority of those who have given intelligent consid- eration to the lubj‘ect. S——— CONSIDERING' AMERIOA. it is perfectly apparent that (ihe Unitod States 1 foremost in the thought of (he men who are dlscussing in Hng. land the question of a change In the fiscal policy of that country. Om the one hand the' advocates of a change point to the fact that the American tariff shuts out the products of British manfactares and that ' something is neccsmary to create a situativn wihich will not be so, wholly favorable to the trnde of this coufitry. That is the post- tion of Mr. Chamberiain, ‘Who bas freely poinied to the American policy as belng inimical to British Interests. On ths ‘otber hand, the ehampiona of the oxisting British policy insist that no greater mistake could be made thun to antagonize the trade interests of the United States by adopting a poliey of diseriminuative tariffs such as Mr. Chaia- Verlain proposes. Thus Mr, Ritenls, forniér chancellor 6f the exchequer, #ai@ In an’address & couple of days ago that one of the principal questions (v be considered wad the attitude of the Unifted States. “This countfy < must try,” he declared, “to guard against giv- ing the United Btates any. causé for ré- sentment which would result in its pusi- ishing Oanada.” There i scen in ‘this the solicitude which thoughtful and conscrtative Bnglishmen feel in regard to the relations between Canadd and the United States, and it is not to e doubted that this feellng will become more extended and influential as the discussion of the Chamberlain pdlicy progeeds. What men like Mr. Ritchie is that the most important of the British colonies, Canada, is really at the mercy of the United States com- merclally and they would avold dolng Anything that might produce conditfons: adverse to the interests and the welfare of Great Britain’s North American pos- session. It 1s not unreasondble. to as- sume that this will havé a considerable influence with the people of the United Kingdom. 3 e —— PUSTAL SERVICE HEVURM.

Is the World growing bétter, or is it growing worse?, That question has the | often been propounded by stitesmen, churchmen and politieal economists, and the mmswers have varied according to the point of view of each questioner. That the world has made co\oql strides in the accumulation of riches within the last haif century is univer- sally admitted, but wihether the Increase 1 the nutiber of millfonaires and muiti- millionaires has raised the moral stand- ard of this or any other country that boasts modern civilisation is not quite 80 clear. That the industrial revolution wrought by laborsaving machinery and the appliance of steam and electric en- ergy in transportation bas immensely improved the condition of all mankind and caused the uplifting of thy tollers in the mill and factéry and tillers of the soil cannot be gainsaid. At no period in the world’s history have its producers, and especially fts wage workers, en- Joyed s many of the comforts and éven of the luxuries that up to the last balf of the ninetessth ocentury were only ‘within the reach of the wealthy. The effect of the material progress of the world upon the morals of the masses under twentieth century conditions has been vikibly wholesome. - The better housing, beétter clothing and better living and better schooling of the common peo- ple has raised the general standard by ‘which humanity must be measured physically and’ spiritually, Material progperity and a reduction in the Mours of labor enable the modern workingman nd workingwoman to keep abreast with the educational advancement of the times and give them the opportunity to avail themselyes of public libraries, art galleries, public lectures, concerts and chprch services to an extent never be- fofe within their réach. Material im- provement ix the bisis of mental and nioral improvement and they have gone hand in hand. Whax is speelally gratifying s that this progress 18 more marked among the Amgricat people than among the people any other nation on earth. That this is due in large part tg the influence of our free institutions wnd the prevailing de- | mocracy that obliterates class and defles caste 18 self-evident.

For ‘is ignorance that glorles In' its lgnoranpe. ’ It might be a good idea to issue pass- ports only to those Americans who egn #how an intelligent board of examiners that they are fit to@o abroad; also, to readmit ofily those returning Americans who' can show that they have acquired and are trying to smupkle into the country in thelr brains no contraband mental goods.
