Tom Johnson in Command.

One may always find something of in
terest in Ohio politics. whether the ma
neuvers OF the one party or the other are
brought under the glass. Today the demo-
Gratis occupy the center of the stage. and
they are performing in a way to attract
wide attention
A year or two ago John R. Mclean con-
trolled the democratic organization, and his
word was law. A man of means, an old
hand at the bellows. he led his party with
out serious protest from the ranks. When
the order. thumbs up went forth. every
thumb pointed upward He gave the order,
Bryan down. and down went the Nebras-
kan The Ohio democrats. to be sure, had
voted for Mr.. Bryan for President, and
hailed him with delight when he stumped
the state. but as Mr.. Mclean was now of
the opinion that the party had had enough
of Mr.. Bryan and his policies that view of
the matter was readily accepted. Bryan
and Organism were dropped.
Mr.. Mclean went down 10 defeat at the
polls, and a new leader has appeared Mr..
Johnson is a Bryan man. He believes in
Organism. and asks the Ohio democracy to
stand with him in support of it. His re-
quest is readily granted. IL Is the same
old Bryanism. 1t is the same party.
The only change is in the leader
What was repudidted at Mr.. McLeans IN
stance is rehabiltated at Mr.. Johnson's
The mayor of Cleveland arrives at the con-
yention with the platform in his pocket and
II Is accepted as written. The rejected stone

Does this sor; of thing make for good gov
ernment? Does it add nything to public
respect for party deliverances? When an
organization like Tammany Hall jumps from
side 10 side at the crack Of a whip there
need be no wonder, and there is little com
plant. Tammany is trained simply to obey.
But politics in Ohio should be conducted on
more elevated plane. II is a great state
and its people are Of the thinking variety
In times past they have cut out work for
the nation to do How then Is this wob-
bling on the most vital of the national is

leadership, what has made it worthy again

Pelee's Eruption More Serious.

The latest Pelee disaster is assuming more
formidable proportions, the death roll grow
ing from 300 to more than thousand.
There are signs of activity at Soufriere,
too. and the whole terrible program of erup-
uons, destruction and panic may be repeat
ed. There is melancholy reinsurance in the
reflection that Pelee cannot do much more
damage, short of causing the total destruc-
tion of Martinique, as did Krakatoa to it's
island back in the eighties. Seismologists
have recorded their opinion that the worst
has happened there, but they were misled
in estimating that there would be no more
powerful discharges. They did warn the in
habitants, 1t is true, that it would be unsafe
to continue to live within certain zone
and this warning was disregarded by the
inhabitants of Morne Rouge with disastrous
results.
