SENATOR TILLMAN
Senator Tillman, who Is an Alaskan visitor at the
present time, has played a very Important part In the
history' of his country during the last quarter of a
century. Few men now in public life have been as active
or as influential, and his activity and Influence have
been directed toward making conditions better for his
fellow men.
He began life equipped with great native ability
and an Andrew Jackson passion for truth, fair play,
straightforwardness and efficiency. His keen sym
pathies were with the under dog. And again like An
drew Jackson, whom he resembles in so many ways,
he was a born partisan for the things he believed to
be right and an uncompromising fighter?one who
sought no quarter, but was always ready to give It If the
giving did not include the sacrifice of principle.
He was one of the first men in tho Nation to sense
the need for a reawakening of the public conscience
and for a wider participation on the part of the mass
es in the affairs of government. He believed that the
people should exercise the functions of sovereignty
rather than to permit a select few to control govern
ment. He was a democrat, and was one of the first
of the generation to begin the war for democracy
against plutocrats and oligarchy.
His strenuousity and a picturesqueness or speecn
served as a basis for a campaign against him that
was Nation wide at the outset of his career, a campaign
that was promoted by interests which were well satis
fied with the conditions which he sought to improve.
It was due to this campaign that people gained the
idea that the South Carolinan, who has since come to
be recognized as one of the great men of the Nation,
was an uncouth ruffian?a buffoon?and they thought
of him rather as "Pitchfork'' Tillman than as the
learned and scientific farmer whose entrance into poli
tics was in the interest of improved educational meth
ods in his State.
As a result of Senator Tillman's services as Gov
ernor of his State a system of technical vocational
training was introduced in South Carolina, and im
proved agricultural and industrial. conditions have fol
lowed. He secured the establishment of two State
colleges?one of them for women?where agricultural,
mechanical and industrial training is provided. A work
er himself, he has always urged work?efficient work
?upon those of all classes as necessary to good citizen
ship.
Senator Tillman entered the United States Senate
in 1895. and since that time there has been no matter
of national importance before that body but that he
has taken an important part in its solution. He has been a
striking and influential figure at all National Demo
cratic conventions. Always and everywhere his voice
and vote and organizing capacity have been devoted to
the service of the masses. He was with the free-silver
men in the 1S96 light when Bryan was nominated for
the first time, and he threw all of his strength into
the campaign that followed. In the preconventlon fight
of 1912 he was a supporter of Woodrow Wilson.
Senator Tillman's tour terms in the United States
Senate have obliterated the "pitchfork" idea of the
man. and as they have seen his ideas and theories of
government accepted throughout the country as rules
of action, the peopte have given him the credit that is
dis due. There are few now who will not admit that
when the history of today is written the eminent South
Carolinan will be given a place among those at the
forefront in the progressive ranks of his time.
MOTION PICTURES.
Although it has taken several years of hard work
and ceaseless offort on the part of the men who have
had faith In the ultimate success of motion picture
shows, the motion picture industry is establishing its
self on a firm financial basis, and now is. according
to the Census Bureau, the fifth largest manufacturing
industry in the United States. From January to De
cember. 31. 1914. $20,900,000 was sepnt in the making
of motion picture negatives. It is estimated that at
least 10.000.000 persons daily go to photoplay theatres
in this country.
lYoducers of plays at regular theatres and theatre
owners and managers were loath at first to embark in
the moving picture business; but times are changing,
and among the most successful moving picture produc
ers. actors and directors may be,seen those who for
merly were connected with the theatre. They have
come to realize that moving pictures have opened an
entirely different field.
One of the principal reasons for the success of
the moving picture dramas is that it is a cheap form
of amusement which appeals to all classes of people.
The standard constantly is being raised. The pub
lis is demanding a better and higher class of films,
and the producers are spending more money and more
time in their production. In raising the standard of
their films the producers have been offering attractive
salaries and obtaining leading stars of the stage to
appear in the principal roles. One of the pioneer com
panies is making plans to take over more than 400
two-dollar theatres in the United States to run
photoplays, and is engaging more than 25 of the lead
ing stars to appear in photoplays which are planned
to surpass anything ever yet attempted, and to cost
from $5,000 to $100,000 for each film.
What they characterize as the "first gun for Wil
son in 1916" was fired at Chicago the other day when
a Democratic convention endorsed him for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination next year. But Chicago
is mistaken. The firing of guns for Wilson has been
so continuous that they long ago merged into a con
tinuous road. Chicago but called attention to the roar
ing.
Safety first is becoming a fixed principle among
statesmen. Senator Root and Justice Hughes have de
clared themselves out of the Presidential race next
year for the second or third time. The opponents of
Wilson next year are likely to be limited to those who
would regard a nomination an honor in itself.
For her size Hayti is making a pretty good showing
of European culture.
Cleveland is now talking about a million popula
tlon in 1920; Boston has taken a census showing mor<
than 1,500,000 in and immediately around the city anc
Philadelphia claims 2,000,000 if Its population Is figurec
on the Boston basis. In the meantime, New York ii

Kitchener again says that It will be a long war, anc
that more men are needed. The statement cannot b(
regarded as throwing any new light on a .troubled sit

JUNEAU AND ST. LOUIS.
(St. Louis Republic.)
A dispatch from Juneau, Alaska, shows that the
thermometer is up around 90 in that region, bumper
crops are expected, forest fires are raging and the
glaciers are melting at a terrific rate. It Is interesting
to compare the general situation around St. Louis witb
that of Juneau. We are doing about as well for crops,
and have been a little happier In temperatures. Wc
have no forest fires, but to balance that we have no
glaciers, and when in these balmy July days we survey
the micro-glacierette which tho Ice man leaves to trickle
out a fleeting existence on the back steps the thought
that Juneau has something on us cannot be suppressed,
lages we scorn, but any town which can see ice melt
to fast that it runs away in rlvors and still smile ovor
.in abundant supply of Ice remaining is not to bo sneezed
r
THAW DECLARED SANE.
(New York World.)
The verdict of tho jury that Harry Thaw is sane
was not unexpected. His fate rests with Justice Hen
drlck. Most people will be glad to seo tho State get
rid of his case.
Murder in the first degree or an insanity verdict
was the alternative logically confronting the original
trial Jury. It chose the more merciful Judgment, at tho
impassioned urgings of Thaw's counsel, after a trial
that hurt the repute of American courts as far as tele
graph wires stretch and newspapers are printed. Spar
ed as insane. Thaw demanded instant release as a sane
man. In the disgusted words of one of his lawyers,
he thought he should have been sentenced not to Mat
teawan but to a Tenderloin restaurant.
A poor man in his position would have dropped out
of sight. Backed by vast wealth in hands which no
scruple hampered in its use, Thaw began tho long
struggle which vexed the too patient courts until a
Federal Judge was found in a sister state who denied
the right of New York to reclaim an escaped prisoner,
and until tho Supreme Court in Washington had to be
Invoked to end an intolerable situation.
Through all these years the slime of the Thaw mon
ey has stained better men than he. It has ruined rep
utations. filled prison cells, closed promising careers
in dishonored death. It has left its trail of debauchery
through many States and a neighbor country. Every
where it has incited greed, rewarded treachery, stirred
up filth.
Sanity is a matter of opinion, a matter or uegree.
a matter of fact; and the fact can be ascertained.
Thaw was held to be insane when he killed White.
He is held to be sane now. If he shall now be releas
ed he will at least not have gone scatheless for his
crime, and New York will be well satisfied to hear less
and see nothing of him in the future.
While this paper never held any brief for Harry
Thaw, it rejoices that "he has triumphed over his per
secutors and is a free man after an almost continuous
nine-year hhttle for his freedom. Harry Thaw killed
Stanford White, a notorious libertine who looked upon
young girls as common prey. His removal was a bene
faction and had he been killed by a substantial busi
ness man instead of as by a pampered, degenerate son
of a rich and indulgent family, as Harry Thaw certain
ly was, the act would have been applauded by all de
fenders of womanhood and of virtue. If Thaw never
performs another creditable act. we believe the remov
al of one home-wrecker will be his passport through
the turnstile of Heaven.?(Whitehorse Star.)
If Alaska were only as large as any one of its four
judicial divisions and if it contained the same popula
tion as it does now it would probably be producing
more gold. One of the real drawbacks of the terri
tory is that it is altogether too large for the number
of people searching for minerals in It. It would be
harder to And the proverbial needle in a bundle of
straw than to find it in a wisp of hay. There would be
less things that looked like needles to distract the at
tention. The whole story of Alaska since the dis
covery of the Klondike has taught the lesson that dis
coveries follow the people rather than the reverse.?
(All-Alaska Review.)
The Democrats are planning to start a daily news
paper at Ottumwa. The days of establishing newspa
pers for political purposes are past. Purely and simply
it is a manufacturing plant and its success or failure
depends, not on its politics, but on the grade of goods
it makes and its ability to market them. A good news
paper will succeed wherever there is a field and a poor
one will fail regardless of how rich the soil where it
is planted.?(Webster City (la.) Journal)
The flre in Valdez serves as a warning to be care
ful during this warm weather. People going into the
woods near the city should be particularly careful.
With the undergrowth dry as tinder and a brisk wind
there is ever present a grave danger of a great for
est tire with its flying sparks. People are usually
careful in their homes but there is a time like this
when it is wise to make assurance doubly sure. That
sort of assurance always beafs what we call insurance.
It costs less.?(Seward Gateway.
Bryan never uttered a more sonslble statement in
his life than what he said yesterday in an Interview
apropos the crisis with Germany over the rights of
Americans to travel in the so-called war zone on bellig
erent ships. He said: "If patriotism requires-a man
to risk his life for his country when his country is en
gaged in war it would seem to be patriotic for a citi
zen to avoid risks that might involve his country in
war."?(Ottoman (la.) Courier.)
The Bug river is pronounced in Europe as if it
were "Boog." Americans will continue to prefer it the
shorter, even if it be tho uglier pronunciation.?(Taco
ma Ledger.)
The action of the government would seem to In
dicate that somebody has been saying things he ought
not to say in Sayville.?(St. Louis Republic.)
The American dollar is now recognized as the
world's basis of exchange, but it always was tenderly
regarded by European innkeepers.?(Chicago Herald.)
The German editor of Fatherland wants American
editors to refrain from comment on the war. Here's a
monopolist in the making.?(Chicago Herald.)
The journey of a flotilla of torpedo boats to Alas
kan waters promises to test the staunchness and sea
worthiness of these little craft?(Seattle Times.)

The Belgian Revue International,
published by permission of Baron von
Bls8lng, German governor of Bel

dently approved, if not actually or
dered, by him, dealing with the pros
pects of peace. The article hints
that the Germans are ready to evac
uate Belgium if peace is signed at
once, and closes with the following
significant appeal. "Belgium can live
again, but only on one condition?
that the war be stopped at once. If
the Belgians really wish to serve
their country they should agitate
for immediate peace?for a peace that
will crush none of the belligerents."

of our hopes, which must be realized
before we can begin to discuss terms
of peace. Germany looks forward
with confidence to the future, but the
victory that brings the end in sight
has not yet'been obtained."
