st. Louis and Rolting.

LIE discovery at Albany OF a purpose OH
the part of the Bryan-Hearst people to bolt
at st. Louis and set up an organization on
semi-socialistic basis is important il true.
But this is the season when all startling
discoveries in politics should be most care
fully examined. The sun is getting warmer
every day, and the disposition to think with
prejudice and in a passion easily controls
men. 1t cannot be denied that in all Mr..
Bryan is now saying, and in much that Mr..
Hearst is doing, may be found encourage
ment for the belief that developments at
st. Louis promise serious trouble for the
democracy. Still it would be wise and well
not to infer too much sixty days before the
event. Due regard should be paid to the
spirit of bluffing which, when INDUCED in
with art, becomes a powerful factor in
She ping much higher affairs than the desti-
nation of stakes in a poker game. Maybe
the conservatives do not intend to drive the
Bryan-Hearst people to extremities. May
be the Bryan-Hearst people can stand a
rougher house than their present language
indicates At any rate. the bolt has not
yet been formally ordered.
1t is sometimes stated that the demo-
cratic leaders have no hope of electing
their candidate this year; that the real
play within the party is for control of the
organization. Both factions we are told.
are working to 1905 The conservatives be-
Heve that if they can dispossess the Bryan
ties and effect return to what Mr. Cleve-
land calls sanity they will lay the founda-
ton for success four years hence. Equally
convinced are the Bryanites that If they
can hold on to what they now have. the
Clevelandites will be driven into the re-
publican party for good, where, 1t is as
serted. they properly belong, and the way
opened for thousands of recruits from other
sources.
This is all very well, but 1908 is an age
away, and men and issues come and go
changes are likely to occur in four years ?
Between 1890 and 1896 the democratic party
fiirted with populism, and wound up by
uniting with the charmer. Populism hav
ing gone broke, the Bryan-Hearst people
are now making eyes at what is known as
state socialism. But are they ready for
a real union? They may have no more
serious purpose than to make the Cleve-
landtes uneasy and bring them, if pos
sible, to terms Besides, granting that
state socialism looks promising today, who
knows what it will look like in 1908?
A bolt at st. Louis by either faction
would be certain to end all thought of
democratic success this year, and it might
end the democratic party. For this reason
let us receive with caution all positive pre-
dictions on the subject.

The Pool Rooms.
From the New York Times.

From the New YORK T1ineS.
Amid a terrible war Of words. and while
the volume of statements and counter
statements is augmented every day. the
proprietors of the pool rooms are carrying
on their unlawful business free from all
molestation. The Western Union Telegraph
graph Company has made it evident that 1t
does not intend to give UP its pool room
business. Commissioner McAdoo and Dis
trict Attorney Jerome have succeeded In
putting the telegraph company In an I'M
comfortable position. but they are not clos
ing any pool rooms. What Is the ultimate
object of all this mighty pother and fuss?
Is 1t to shut up the pool rooms? Or Is it.

Little Men to the Rear.
From the New orleans picayune.

During the period of democratic power
and influence in public affairs the party
was led by its greatest men. but impa tent
of such leadership the time came when
every successful political chief and wise
statesman was repudiated and set aside.
and then came the day of little men and
of Encouragement and failure. bringing to
the party defeat on every hand and SUBJ
jecting 1t to almost universal derision. 1t
Is now time to realize that great political
parties cannot be carried to victory and
power by demagogues and small politicians.
Great generals are required to win great
battles. and little men. who are big only in
their overwhelming vanity and self-con-
ceit. will only lead the best soldiers In the
world to slaughter and defeat.

The Yellow Cur Peril.
From the Chicago News.

If the officials whose business II Is to rid
the city of its vagrant dogs are performing
their duties theoretically the results Of
their work are not apparent Chicago is
suffering from a plague of tramp ours Res
idence neighborhoods are overrun with
them. Even the downtown district. which
reasonably might be expected to be free
from this nuisance. is infested by COUNTLESS
mongrel ours which have neither homes nor
owners. It is impossible to walk many
blocks in any part of the business center
without encountering number Of these
four-legged ,vagabonds roaming uarestrain-
cd among the crowds and searching alleys
for means of subsistence. II the dog-catchere
have not yet adopted systematic method Of
rounding up these ours, SO that they are ac-
tually caught and not merely driven from
one neighb0rhood to another 1t Is time %
devise for them some effective working plan
1t Is evident that the plan at present pur.
sued is making little impression.

His Oratory.

I knew a politician once;
He was a business man.
He said. I'm going to adopt
A systematic plan.
That money talks I've often heard;
I'll make the rule my own.
And strive to get sufficient cash
To make megaphOne."
And often when debate was warm,
AS warm as it could be,
His influence would make Of him
A silent referee.
He never let his temper rise,
He never feared a wreck.
He never said a single word
He simply wrote a check.

VISITS WEBER
IN HIS CELL

by Her Imprisoned Nephew
DEPUTIES STAND GUARD
Accused Youth Directs His
Aunt to Attend to Marking
of Graves of the Family
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUBURN, Nov 20.-Mrs. Snowden
called on Adolph Weber at the county
Jail this morning. Her visit was caused
by request that she visit him made by
young Weber himself 1t will
be remembered that Mrs. Snow
den's testimony was the most
damaging produced at either the
coroner's inquest or at the preliminary
examination. Your turn is coming
next" were the words used by AdOlph
Weber as he left the Snowden house
last Saturday morning. and his words
ere directed TO his aunt, Mrs Snow
den. Since then she has not spoken to
him. except in his cell to-day. She
was afraid OF him, and asked that an
officer be near her every minute OF the
time she was in the cell with young
Weber. Deputy May stood beside her
and Deputy Fulton was just outside
the cell door.
The conversation that took place be-
tween nephew and aunt was not of a
startling nature. Weber asked his aunt
about the headstOnes TO be placed at
the graves of the victims Of the TRACE
dy. Mrs Snowden replied that she had
not given the matter a thought. Young
Weber then told his aunt to suit her
self about the monuments.
When Mrs. SnOwden said "GOOd-by.
Dolphy." Weber did not reply.
IL is believed at the sheriff's Office
that young Weber's request for a visit
from his aunt was made with the hope
that he might frighten her.
The preliminary examination of Web
er will be resumed tomorrow morning
before Justice Z. o. Smith. Mrs. Snow
den will be put on the stand again and
so Will Adrian Wills. DR.. J. F. White,
whose analysis proves that there were
blood stains on the trousers which
Weber threw into the fire will not be
called. His testimony will be held back
until the trial before the Superior
Court Who the witnesses for Nle de-
fense are. or whether they will have
any. is not known.
Justice Smith has already ordered the
court reoorter to transcribe the testi-
mOny.
The dreadful affair is still the all alb
sorbing topic. and was referred TO to-
day In the churches. Rev. A. K. Clio
yer OF St Luke's Episcopal Church

and preached a touching sermon on the
immortality of the soul.
To-day being Sunday many men took
10 the hills and ravines in a fruitless
search for some clew that might lead
TO the conviction or prove the innocence
of AdoIph Weber. The pistol must be
found Without IT the mystery may
never be solved.

LieutenantlU. S. Grant III, who ar
rived from the Philippines on the.

a guest at me Palace for several days.
left Yesterday for Washington. Upon
his arrival there he will enter upon
the duties of military aid TO President
Roosevelt at the White House. This
is the first time that a Grant has
served in the White House since the
young lieutenant's illustrious grand
father was the President OF the coun-
try and it will be the first time that an
officer of the army has been regularly
detailed as military aid to a President
Of the United States.
In years past officers have been de-
tailed for various work at the White
House, but never officially as the Pres
ident's aid. Young Grants station
while serving in the new posi-
ton will be at Washington Bar
racks His duties will be simply to at
tend the President wherever he may
go. The position is one that was
sought by many of the younger officers
of the army, who were greatly disap-
pointed when the official announce
ment was made that Lieutenant Grant
had been selected for the place.
