It H not so Brent n illHtnnco to Pre toria after all. Smith or Long. Hniin AUK two .western opinions about tho Yleo presidential nomination, tho first from the Chicago Trlbttno of May ST: "A month ago Charles Hmory Smith was brllered to bo the moat available eandldatu for tho vlro presidency. Tha Cuban pos tal frauds are believed to have de stroyed his availability, although hi was not rcsponslblo. For tho same general reasons, th politicians gener ally nrguo that Long would make an excellent vIm president, but a moat abominable candidate," Bpeaklng on this subject and tho upq of his own rnimo In connection with tha nomina tion. Ttoproientatlvo Dolllver, on May 28, said: "I am receiving telegrams from people, In various parta of tha country, some urging mo to enter tho race and others warning mo to keep out. I am not going to loso any sleep over tho matter, however. I wilt re peat uhat I nald oomo tlmo ago, that I am willing to resign In favor of Postmaster General Charles Kmory Smith, than whom thorn la not a more popular candlduto In my part of tho country." Mr. Smlth'H availability an a vlco presldontlal candidate la not In tho slightest affected by the Cuban poitnl scandal. Deplorable na tho occurrence may be, It was beyond the possibility of control so far ao the postmaster gen eral was concerned. Nolrody and no olllclal In Washington has been di rectly or Indirectly connected with It Nobody other than the thieves who gut the plunder la reoponslble. When ap pointed to olllco It was believed they were honest men. They havu turned out rogues. Is this mistake to cost the president his rs-nomlnatlon? That must follow In logic If tho Chicago Tribune's position In connection with the vlce-prusldentlal nomination li sound. One Is aa much to blauw as tho other. What eliminate tho poatmnstor gen eral aa an avullablu vlce-prosldentlal candidate, eliminates McKlnloy as a presidential candidate so far ah the Cuban postal frauds go. If Mr. Smith, as postmaster general, la In any way responsible, ho ought to resign his of llce. The president does not believe It. Tho country dona not believe It. Tha Philadelphia convention will not be lieve It. Tho ponding Investigation will vindicate the postmaster general nnd the Philadelphia convention com posed of men, not cowards will In dorse his administration In the vlcei presldentlal nomination. Mr. Polllver Is u typical western Ito publlean. Whut ho says about Charles Kmory Smith only reflect tho honest, courageous llopubllcan sentiment In the country. Tho Impending campaign is to bo a light from the beginning to tho end. Tha Cuban postal frauds form tho solitary seandul ef tho ad ministration. Minimized to tho utmost, It will still bo an unsavory thing. The postmaster genorul Is under lire. Ho demands the fullest Investigation. His culpability exists only in sensatlonat and partisan newspaper fabrications. It would bo cowardly In the Philadel phia convention to deny him tha nom ination on that account. It Is coward ly In 'any loputablo Kepubllcau news paper to suggest It. Tho man who puts fifty cents In tho slot and only draws one cigar will b suspicious of the propsed voting ma chine. VJ Tho War On the Olao Frauds, -w im onoirr mi.i. reguintinr: N the sale of oleomargarine, " JL ns it has been reported fa vorably from tha lioua? committee on agriculture, and which may noon corria before tho houso for consideration, la as follows: "All articles known as oleomargar ine, butferlne, Imitation butter, or lml tatldn chceso, or nny substance In tho semblance of butter or cheese not the usual pioduct of the dairy, and not made exclusively of pure and unadul terated milk or cream, transported Into any state or territory, and re maining therein for use, consumption, r.alo, or storage therein, shall, upon the arrival within the llmlto of nuoh state, or territory, be subject to the opcmtlone and effect of tho laws of iiuch stats or territory enacted In the exercise of Its pollen powers to the same extent nnd In the same man ner as though such ar.tlcles or nub ctanecs had been produced In such state or territory, and shall not e exempt therefrom by reason of being Introduced therein In original packages or otherwise; provided, that nothing in thla act rhall be construed to per mit nny state to forbid the manufac tute or sale of oleomargarine In a Bppnruti" and distinct form and In such na,unr as wlH odvlao tha consumer of Ita real ehnrnctor free from colorn tlon or IriRrcdlcnt Unit causes It to look lllcc butter.

It Is a bill Htrllc ltiR dlreetly at fulso pretonecn nnd requiring the manufacturers and vend ors of tho artificial product to deal fairly with the public. To such n bill thorw cannot be honest objection. Probably by tlili time President KrURer nctunlly looks like some of hln alleged pictures In the dally papers. An American Career. Tim SUCCESS of n man who works his way tip to cml nenco from humble begin nings Is always of human Interest, and It Is especially so In the United States, wheio It is not uncom mon. An example of'thls kind of pro gress Is noted In the Chicago papers, In tho case of the newly dieted pn. si dent of the Union Traction company of that city, Mr. John M. Hoacli, who UEed to be merely a conductor, albeit a good one. The Btory of his ilse in life, bi Icily told, Is ns follows: Born In Jackson county, O., forty odd years of age, ho moved with his widowed mother to Dekalb county, III., In 18C3; in 1SCD went to college In Hov erly, O., studying for two years; nnd then sought fortune in the west. Ar riving In Helena, Mont., he was dis appointed in his expectations of dis covering a gold mine and for a time worked 03 a reporter on the Helena Herald. A year of school teaching fol lowed; then a plunge Into a silver mine speculation, which failed; and In ls"2, after having found no suitable opening on tho Pacific coast, he be came ft resident of" Chicago. In Octo ber of that year he secured a Job as tha conductor of a horho car. Six months of honest conducting In the days when there wore no patent de vlcos to prevent tho theft of cash fares brought him an offer of the po sition of cashier of the company; next he was mado purchasing agent, then In turn assistant supoilntcndent, tu perlntendent, nsslstunt manager, hoc ond vice president and manager, llrst vlco president and general manager and now president. Ho has under his dliectlon C07 miles of Hack, 4.0)0 cars and 12,000 employes; and the latter regard him as their friend because they pay that In all the years of his association with them they never knew him to foil to Keep his word. Not long ago 11 man of the Famo kind was chosen to preside over tho consolidated luttfaco i.illroad Interests of New York city; and It Is notlceiblo that bueh men are being sought after whenever dltllcultleb In operation, especially dllllcultles In dealing with the employes of large corporations, arise. The man who has been through tho mill: who has risen by force of merit and shown In bmalljr ttusts a lltnkss for larger responsibilities Is the man to whom Investors turn when the running of their business on lines of pull and favoritism begins to look like running It Into tho ground. As a mat ter of fact, while tho Indispensable man may not be nutria ous, the ef ficient and trustworthy man Is In de mand, and never more bo than In theso days of large enterprises, whosi suc cess or falluie is a matter of good or bad management. Oleo will herenfter bo obliged to Identify Itself by other means than Its llavor. The Caso of Colonel Pettlt. Nr: OP Tim officers whose regiment, the Thlrty-fltst In fantry, was organized ut Camp Meade and who by of this fact Is known per by many Pennsylvanlans, is James S. Pettlt, now under reason suiially Colonel airest at Manila fur alleged violation of duty. This young olllcer served with distinguished credit throughout the Cuban campaign and for a time most ncceptnbly illled the post of mili tary mayor of Manzanillo, Cuba, onco a center of disaffection, but under his supervision cleaned, calmed and con vened into a center of thrift. At Camp Meade he also showed up well, making, next to Colonel (now Brigadier Gen eral) Jatnts M. Bell, the bist showing among the regimental commanders who occupied that camp. The news of his urrest for court martial carne as a surprise to all familiar with his su perior met Its and the facts In tho ease as thus far gleaned Illustrate thu dllll cultles by which our army oflleers In the Philippines are continually con fronted. It appears that roon nfter General Bates mado his famous treaty with the sultan of Sulu, Colonel Pottlt's regiment was sent to the chief city In the Sulu archipelago to preserve or der and to enforce the treaty. Ills Instructions were to avoid friction with tho natives na far ns possible and to try to maintain tho peace by peace ful means. Naturally much had to be left to his discretion, and much had to be learned by him concerning the amount of dependence to bo placed In the native character. Tho Incident which ROt Colonel Pettlt Into trouble arose In this way: A natlvo bandit had been captured and turned over to him for punishment. Tho natlvo chief requested Pettlt to let tho man be tried by the natives, alleging that his offense wn civil Instead of mili tary. Pettlt consentod, the natlvo chief toolc the bandit away, promising that he should have a fair trial, and when Pnttlt's back was turned, caused the bandit to bo executed off-hand, that being tho native style. Tho lieutenant colonel of tho Thirty. o fltst Infantry was Wobb C. Hayes, son of the late president, and a personal nppointeo of President McKlnlty. Pettlt nnd Hayes had not cot along together well, for reasons Immaterial In this commotion; and Hayes raised a row over the bandit Incident, pre ferred charges against Pettlt, re signed hit ootnmlnslon and returned to Washington, where, It is alleged, ho has tought Pottlt's scalp. Thers Is no reason to believe that Jus tice will nut prevail In this as In other cases growing 'out of tho now and unfamiliar conditions of army service In tho Philippines; but tha narmtlvb of Its circumstances Ulus tiatcs how easy It Is for good oM eer.s far away from homo and friends to get Into trouble nnd how slow the public should bo to believe 111 of them on unsubstantiated testimony. Tho senate uommltteo on privileges nnd elections has reported negatively the resolution providing for the oleo tlon of United Btatcs senators by di rect vote of the people and has re ported nfllrmatlvoly Senator Hoar's bill amending tho lawo relating to tho election by a plurality of metnbera of tho legislature In caBea whert a ma jority cannot be secured by any one candidate. Thla latter measuro would do nwuy with i-enatotlal deadlocks, and give to tho leading candidate tho advantage of his leadership. It will not suit the minority obstructionists who try to rulo or ruin, but It would callsfy the large majority of citizens and solvu the problem of aenatorlal vacancies. Tho address of W. U. Hearst to tho Democratlo clubs will no doubt reas sure those who may have been appre hensive that the affairs of tho coun try would be allowed to go to tho dogs. Mr. Hearst has Bcented dan ger and will head It off at the proper time. Another big dog hns Just been shot for mangling a small boy. This Is ad ditional warning that the big dog, es pecially of the epecles that haro been bred In chilly climates, nhould be treated with consideration.

Saturday F-TcnliiR )W. GENERAL OTIS' SUCCESSOR. From tht' Manila Corrcspondenco of tha Indianap olis Press. Meet General MscArthur In thv field at the head of troops or In hit clflct directing tho at tain of American colonization, and he will Im press you the tameas a man who Is profoundly conscious of tht weight of men's lives. He will not slip you on the back 'and mike a good fcl lefw of you no, not even If you are a war cor respondent of International renown. In the cold, clear arterlea of legitimate news MacArthur will tit your mend. II he has led a charge into a big "nigger" town under trying oddsi If he has personilly directed a campaign In a satisfactory and kucccusful 'manner, he will tell you about It, not withholding hit own name; but It you at tempt to sound him upon matters of his nnn ego, MacArthur loses Interest In you at nice. MacArthur will never be mbjectcd to the poig nantly adiersv criticism, cruelly unjust In moit cases, which his predecessor mlfered. And thli will not be wholly because ha did not deserve ueh criticism. The secret of It Is no mole or less than thlsi Those wko In time to come v. ill bo sufficiently Intimate with MacArthur to write or tell others about him will be bo Impressed by the fore of his character that truth alone will be po'Ulble. The general has a way of nuking cno see that he Is right. What great soldier of today, who Las had tho eyes of tin nation turned on him, has covered his human fides with such a buttress of strenuous virtues? MacArthur has yet to show men and women his human side. He has not had time. He his been too busy In achievement. It la his way. MacArthur achieves and achieves, with eviry fiber (draining, lie has paid so little attention to the angle In which the rubllo regards him lhat he Is hardly better Known that any brigadier of volunteers In tht ccrvlcc. And lust now ha hat been pliked out to command what Is really the whole army. Ita aa chosen becaue his ability compelled thv choice, and made any other Impossible In tho iyn of his superiors in Washington. Danger? There Is no such thing to MacArthur. It did not stand In the way of his achievement ulien he u a colcnel of volunteers In 'CI, and Ktlll In Ids teem Ills Is not mere animal brav ery, but that finer product which la In the grip of a wakeful brain and which makes the white man king of tho world. A thousand soldiers norea of times hare seen him display tint beau tiful element of manhood which la best called courage, I taw him at Hamban, and I have nev er seen a field glass since which has failed to bring tho face and figure of the general to my mind. Onieril I.lscum was struggling wuh com panies of the Ninth and Twelfth In tho river, and Lieutenant Davis had fallen on the back, struck wnn a Mauser In a place which eauie-s no piln. On the opposite shore were the live trenches of thv rebels, and tht white tmoke of the Iteming tons hung moveless on them. And the air was full of the yells of white mm and black and the horrible lounds of a tight. All the while Mac Arthur stoexl on the bank of the river In full view o the enemy, with the field glas In ono hand and directing tht lire with the other On thv march, la an office, under fire, night and diy. that brain of MacArthur's Is straining toward thv achievement of the greatest good pos slblt In his calling. Kuthlessly, relentlessly, he eacriflcei, things In proiwrtlon, to long as their destruction besrs toward the final desired attain ment. Though kit courage has been displayed a hundred times before men who appreciate, it Is his brain wkleh Impresses the stranger, which plans the ctmlgne, tehlch admits of no error and dominates hli whole llfo. It la hla brain whlih achlevesl The lo-s of a private's tin cup or tht unwise expenditure of some company funds do not worry MacArthur. Ills civilian clerks and his tubonl.iu.te officers straighten these mat ters out It la the ponderous and significant af fairs of war, army and state which try the vast patience of this man. He has the comprehension which ocans In a glance the inmendous Held of his labors; he has the acumen to mold a mas.1 of details toward the end of national good; and, bent of all, he has the strength of physical mln hood to support the tense striving of his higher powers, in a word, 1j Is the man for tho placo. WHAT AMERICANS LACK. Krom tike Indleaepolts Progs. In tho national effort now making toward trudu expansion, It would le wise for tho Ameri can people to do 13 talking lu the air and get down to details. There are many things w might accomplish, in which wo fail. Tho high pressurv American enterprise his Its etrcngth, but It also has It weaknew. If a correct gen eralization can 1 made In thv way of criti cism, It Is that wo paint with too large a brush; that wo are In too big a hurry to accomplish large results to give the nectnsary attention to the minor things that count. Where American Inventive genius can make a great stroke, where American agricultural or mineral resourc es give us a big advantage, where tho American dash and vigor can accomplish things with a rurh, wv succeed. Hut where ft is a matter of palnutaklng care, of long and thorough pre paration or of minute detail, we usually Iravo suet" to HflDebudy tNe. It Is this trait, not lick of tariff protection, capital or Ingenuity, that leaves the wonder fully rich American market for tho finer grades of cloth, china and cutlery In the hands of for eigners. We have the raw matirlal for theso things and the high tariff on them would nat urally glvo home manufacturers a big advan tngw In tho home market, if we had tho tim perament to undertake them; but wo arc still buying Immense quantities of ellki from Franco, of linen, twei-da, broadcloths and other high grade wi-aves from Great Ilrltaln, of underwear, china and rutlery from Germany. Thousands of Americans that would rather buy American goods arv forced to u Itnjiorteel goods to get wliat they want.

They went about the bust, hess of supplying their own market and going after foreign matkete In a most systematic ray. Technical schools were established, and they studied the best methods of manufacture, tend ing workmen abroad to work In shops and learn processes with which they were unfamiliar. At the same time they sent agents abroad to learn the needs and peculiarities of the markets thiy proposed to supply. Kvery community has Ita own way of doing things; instead of trying to make markets for peculiar manufactures cf their own, the dormant sought to manufacture for tht peculiar markets they found. And this cater. Ing to the markets ns carried not mrrcly to the manufacture of things wanted, but to moth ods of packing, of shipping and of credits and exchange facilities. And, hiving made their goods to fit their marketa, they are not con tinually trying to Introduce new thtnrs, to forcv changes of style, of irachlncry and of method! on their customers.
