MR.. BRYAN ON THE INQUIRY.

Commenting on the SampsC Schley
controversy, Mr.. Bryan says in "The
Commoner
1T is indeed very great pity that
there should be any controversy over
a matter In which the world has given
credit where credit belongs. 1t is in-
deed pity that there should be any
controversy that seeks to discredit a
brave, honorable, and modest sea
fighter who successfully led the Ameri-
can forces in one OF the greatest naval
battles in the history of the world. 1t
is indeed very great pity the politi-
clans and the bureaucrats, the favor
ties OF the administration, should insist
upou disorediting and abusing q man
who has served his country so faith
fully as Winfield Scott Scbley has
served the United States of America.
Admiral SsmDsoD's friends should be
satisfied with the fact that their favorite
obtained the prize money won in q
battle 10 which he did not partici-
pate and that bis face is to grace
medal that Is TO commemorate
a fight 10 which he did not take
part. 1t should be sufficient for them
that Admiral Schley has never made
any claim ss to his part In the battle In
Santiago Bay; that no has been content
for the newspaper representatives aI
other witnesses to give facts to the
American people. The difficulty is that
these statements have convinced the
American people that Schley was the
real hero Of the day and entitled to ell
honors at the hands OF q grateful pee
pie, even though he Is denied the
emoluments in the wsy OF prize money
aud medals. IL would be Interesting
to observe what disposition the Ad-
ministration will make of the navy
yard clerk called by the New York
sum the most distinguished living
American historian As a clerk in the
navy yard he should be displaced be-
cause of his outrageous assaults upon
man who has been the patient victim oil
the most remarkable series OF attacks
recorded in American history. II is
not at all likely that this most dis
tinguished living American historian is
at aIl dependent upon his salary as clerk.
It may rather be supposed that his en-
ployment as clerk in the navy yard was
merely cover whereby he could carry
out the work mapped out for him."

HICKS FOR AUGUST.

Threatening, stormy weather may be
looked for 10 mapy quarters ss August
comes in. A season of menaciDg storm
conditions may hover over the gulf re-
gioDs until after the 9Th. From the 9th
to the Oh look for warm wave to cul-
inmate in thunder storms with heavy
hsil and high winds. Following these
storms no one need be surprised at
sudden fall OF temperature. There
should certainly be an abatement OF
summer heat, for few days, until the
18th or 14th. High temperatures may
be expected about the time of the new
moon or the 14lh. Electrical, bluster.
ing storms will break out generally and
continue until the 16.h.
We know of no ressons why there
should be a decided change from dry
westher generally in August, but some
sterling downpours and hail will ac-
cur in narrow localities on the central
storm days until after the middle OF
August. They will be preceded by
high temperatures, thunder and light.
niUg. Drops OF temperature will follow
the storms 10 the sections in which they
occur.
From the 18th to the ooh is the mid
summer storm period and there will be
many severe storms on the lakes al d
sea coasts and in parts of the interior.
There will be much cooler weather
generally, with brief changes to warm
ar into September. The "a h and 25;h
are resctionsry storm days.
About this time, West India equato-
rial storms and cyclones will form about
the equator. The last four or FIVE days
of August into September West India

strike the south eide of our continent

THE REFERENDUM

The New York Evening Post calls at
tention to the growing tendency to APP
ply the principle of the referendum in
Massachusetts. The referendum is
certainly regarded as a wise provision
in Massachusetts provided it is re
stricted to questions upon which the
public can form an intelligent opinion.
The question of licensing the sale of
liquor is certainly a legitimate subject
for a referendum.
Massachusetts,, in fact, has always
believed in letting the people settle a
question where the people could form
an intelligent opinion. Massachusetts
does not believe in settling all ques-
tons by the referendum but by the
very title of its Legislature, Great and
General Court, it clings to the idea that
its representatives at the capital have
a certain duty in weighing evidence
and conducting judicial investigation
wherever it is necessary to securing
just and proper legislation.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-12-14
IAE RIfM QUESTION

The cities Of Massachusetts seem still
to be pretty evenly divided on the tenn
perance question. This year they have
voted in favor of licensing IS, and in
opposition, A.
1t seems better for any city to stick
to one policy OF the other. The cit
les that are the worst of all are those
that vote yes one year and no the
next. This constant shifting of policy
and apparent change in public opin-
ion is demoralizing on the officers of
the law and on the liquor dealers
themselves.
For instance, Chelsea. which has
been consistently no license for Il
years, has voted yes, and there will be
a year Of turmoil, of more or less en-
forcement Of the law and more or less
serious attempt on the part Of the
liquor dealers to hang on to their bust
ness until the vote is changed, next
year.
There are many practical people who
believe that it would be better to vote
on this question less often. It would
interfere less with the municipal bus
mess and do more practical good if
settled for five years at a time instead
of one year at a time.

EFFECT OF FLETCHER'S
EHTIOM ON T

-
If the City of Worcester had re-
elected O'Connell, even although the in
dependent Republicans had voted for
him from purely non-partisan motives,
the Democratic party would have made
sweeping claims all over the state.
Local conditions cannot be thoroughly
understood out ode. If any moral is to
be drawn fro' this it is that non par
tisan nominations should be made if
the voting is to be done in a non
partisan way.
The lesson taught by the Cambridge
election where an active Democratic
canvass was successful in a Republican
city against a non-partisan nominee
was that all candidates should have an
organization behind them. A man can
not run well usually for the Office of
mayor without the support of some sort
of an organization, and until there is a
strong organization in the City of
Worcester pledged to the principle OF
non-partisanship and good government,
the voters will be wiser to trust the
Republican party. Those Republicans
who care for good government must
watch their caucuses and must exert
their influence for good nominations.
Much can be done in this way by put
ting into the Republican organization
more active men who appreciate good
government and who are anxious to
have the most capable men succeed.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-12-14

Stimulating for fifty years, it is a proud
record to have only about two per
cent. of her citizens disqualified by an
educational provision Of this kind. If
there We're no foreign element in the
commonwealth we think the educa-
tional test would debar no citizen from
voting who was of age and had the
other qualifications.
At the same time we believe that no
provision of law in this state has had
a better effect upon public morals than
this provision, which has now been in
operation for about half a century. 1t
is the one effective method of enforcing
compulsory education without friction,
without difficulty. Massachusetts edu-
Gates all her children and her children
are anxious to be educated that they
may exercise full rights of citizenship
when they reach maturity.

CARNEGIE UNIVERSITY

No city in the country should be more
interested in the proposed Carnegie
University than Worcester, the seat of
Clark University. The new institution
is planned somewhat along the lines
on which Jonas G. Clark and Presi-
dent Hall planned Clark University.
1t is to be a great institution for or
iginal research, for the workers in the
arts and sciences.
1t is rather complimentary to Wor-
cester. in a way, that two great in
situations planned by this millionaire
benefactor. Andrew Carnegie, should
be modelled after the Worcester Poly
technic Institute and Clark University.
The Pittsburg Technical School is to
be planned along the same lines that
made the Worcester school famous.
Now comes this great National Uni
versity at Washington. We are anxious
to know what the educators. who de-
plored the fact that Mr.. Clarks money
was not given to existing institutions
TO increase their usefulness rather than

new project
Looking far ahead into the future We
all believe that great national insti-
buttons and great memorials should be
located in the capital city. The great
cities of the country which are jeal-
Gus Of each other, cannot reasonably
be Jealous Of the capital city.
The plan is as follows, as explained
