The World calls attention to the wholesale backgliding on the tariff by the democratic members of both houses of congress and notes the ab- usual | sence of Mr. Bryan from the scene of battle, when he might, at least, be on the ground directing the democratic forces over which he is the nominal leader. The World continues: But we do not hear Mr. Bryan's voice raised in passionate protest against demo. cratic treachery fundamental party principles. Wa do not see him among the aggressive leaders in this struggle ageinst privilege and plutocracy. In the current issue of the Commoner we find only the most perfunctory references to the tariff debate. The leading editorial articles devoted to direct legislation—to the Initia- tive, the referendum and the recall. For all practical purposes Mr. Bryan might as well be talking about the Arian heresy or discussing the number of angels that could dance on the point of a needle We fear the World does not yet un- derstand Mr. Bryan. The great dem- ocratic orator does not want to be en- tangled with petty details of tariff leg- islation. He would rather persuade the democratic 4egislature in his home state to refuse to let the university professors take retirement from the Carnegie fund, or to try his eloquence on the Texas legislature in [ behalf of bank deposit guaranty, or to | plead with the Colorado legislature for the Initiative and referendum. It is true that Mr. Bryan once made a specfal trip to Washington to procure the ratification of the treaty annexing the Philippines in order to manufac- ture the issue of anti-imperialism for the then impending campaign, but the {ssue failed to pan out. Mr. Bryan just now is busy lecturing in Canada and the perfidious demo- crats in congress will not b& called to aceount until later. It is even possi- ble that it again a presidential candi- | date, and these democrats are Seeking re-election on the same ticket with him, Mr. Bryan will ask their constitu- encies to continue them in office. How Americans Spend Their Money. Consular reports would indicate that the American tourist is the most profitable crop garnered in Europe. This land of plenty annually scatters millions of dollars throughout Great Britain and the continent and from the numbers and prodigality of the tourists it is little wonder the ldea prevails in some quarters of the old world that money grows on the trees in the United States. In one of the latest reports Consul Mansfield of Lucerne, S8witzerland, gives an estimate of what the automo- leaves in Europe each year. He figures the average ex- | penditure of tourists of this class at $10 per day and the average stay of each at two months. Statistics show that 40,000 Americans annually make the automobile trip of the continent, which would mean the distribution of $24.000,000. These figures do not take into ac- count the expenditures of tourists who | adopt other means of seeing the sights of the old world, and they are in the majority, or the large number whose | incomes are derived from this side of | | the water, but who live in lavish style | *! in Europe. Were it not for the money which the American spends there and the man- | ufactured products which those who stay at home buy from the old world it would be hnrq picking for our old country cousins.' And with all this good American money which goes abroad it is the American farmer and producer who keeps the balance on the right side of the international ledger. More Land for Settlers. Major McLaughlin of the Interior department has secured the signatures | of the Sioux Indians for the cession of the remainder of their tribal lands in the Rosebud and Pine Ridge reser- atiops, amounting to 1,600,000 acres which means that within a compara- tively short time the tract will opened to settlement and mark passing in the strict sense of largest Indian reservation remaining in the countgy As this land, like that in Tripp and Gregory counties, South Dakota, al- the ready ceded, is all tributary to Omaha, | the benefit to this ecity from the set- tling up of the territory*should be marked. It means a large addition to the population of that section of South | Dakota and many million bushels more of grain vroduction, with Omaha natural place for the peopld who tle the lands to buy and sell. A yvears under the magic touch of farmer and the southern part of S Dakota will witness a great mation. The new regime will the Indian himself a producer to a large ‘extent, for he must now take his allotment and get down to the pur- set- few the outh make suits of the farmer or lease his land to | white men who will cultivate it. Thus the land thrown open to settlement will be only part of the addition to the productive soil Aside from the coming of the white setfTfer the cession of this land will mark another great transformation. Forty years ago when the Union Pa- cific road was completed the Sioux were the most numerous owerful tribe of Indians west © Missis- sippi, if not in the United States. They the | are | pensions | be | the | the | transfor- | { | waged a persistent and bloody war- fare against the encroachment of the white man upoh their domain and {inflicted upon the United States army the most signal defeat it ever sus- tained at the hande of the Indians The cession of this surplus land and ‘|h9 taking of allotments will end the old life which has been gradually re- stricted year by year, Wounded Knee being the last physical protest of the Stoux The wild game on which he formerly subsisted is gone, his roving |18 circumscribed by the railroads and settlements and he has in a considera- ble measure adopted the white man's way of acquiring a living. As a worker the Sioux has shown |a large degree of adaptability. Al- | though up to the present he has not engaged extensively in farming, those best acquainted with the Sioux have large faith in his ability to adapt him- self successfully to the new conditions Investments for Industry. Every indication points to the pres- ent season as one of large investments in the direction of industrial expan- slon. The east is catching the spirit |of the west and is again beginning to branch out. The New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads are push- ing as rapidly as possible their new terminals in New York City, which in- volve the expenditure of millions upon millions, but this was to be expected, as the work was already begun and | could not well be halted. More sig- | nificant {s the announcement that the Lake Shore {8 to spepd $20,000,000 in betterments, that the West Shore is to complete long contemplated improve- ments and reports from railroad equip- | ment companies are that orders are |coming in rapidly, with the outlook never more promising. i The greatest step since the steel |at Gary, Ind., was the borrowing of | $30,000,000 by the Jones & Laughlin | Steel company of Pittsburg, of which all but $2,000,000 is to be used for ex- tensions and betterments, This com- pany is already the largest concern in | the United States outside the Steel | trust. Its move shows the tendency !to modernize and bring plants up to date to make the Americdn steel pro- ducer more and more a factor in the world's market. Not for several years has there been 80 much activity in the western rail- road world in the way of construction of branch and feeder lines opening up new country to profitable settlement and the business men of western cities |are showing their faith by a bullding program which, taken altogether, is unprecedented. In years past first | one city and~then another has forged | ahead, but at present the bullding is | noted in every city in the great west and the structures as a rule are of a type superior to those of previous years. e e Funny. Our amiable democratic contem- porary, the World-Herald, reads the | Lincoln Journal a sharp curtain lec- | ture “for impugning the motives of other newspapers and villifying those that are not able to see all things as it sees them, itself.” The Journal had recently parried some clumsy jabs at its position in the recent city campaign that made Lin- coln dry, as follows: On few subjects is there such confusion of thought as on the liquo question. The ifficulty of securing rational consideration of the actual situation is immense. To the excited ones the newspaper that s not in “controlled” by the brewers and individ uals who happen not to be off their feet are either victims or beneficiarles of the oons. On this text the World-Herald pro- ceeds: It 1s all very true. But | kind of pin-headed attacks that are now |made on the Journal because it opposed | prohibition in Lincoln the Journal has been exceeding busy making on many men and newspapers, not to mention on whole cities, for many months past. In this contempti- | ble propaganda the Journal seems to have been so eminently successful that its own { chickens are now coming home to rgost. This is really funny. | the Lincoln Journal and | World-Herald it would be hard to tell which 18 the most flagrant offender in | this regard.
