THE WAGES OF SIN.

Truly. the wages of sin is death.
Few Of the thousands of criminals
who disobey the law live to enjoy the
fruits of their wrong-doing. Many live
to regret their first departure from
the straight and narrow path, but sta
tistics kept by detective agencies
show few cases where the wrongdo-
ers have escaped justice.
A few days ago gang of bandits,
held UP Denver & Rio Grande train
near Parachute, Colo. and after kill
ing an employe secured $40 as the re-
ward for their crime. They were chas-
ed by cowboys and one of the robbers
was slightly wounded by pursuer.
The bandit fell from his horse but be,
fore he could be taken captive he shot
himself through the head, dying in
stantly. A picture taken of the dead
man was identified as the likeness of
Harvey Logan, alias Kid Curry a
noted outlaw who operated as forg-
er in Tennessee several years ago.
Though he secured thousands of dol
lars, enough to support him in ease
to good old age he never left the
downward path. His riches never
profited him anything. Finally, when
brought to bay for killing fellow
man to secure paltry sum, he took
his own life ending career of moth
ing but blackness. Truly the wages of
sin is death.

SANITY no rHE EoRE.

Henry Clews, in his weekly financial
review, voices the sentiment of the
world at large when he says that the
developments in the political arena
have had good effect upon the bust
ness world. Ever since Mr.. Bryan's
advent the country has been more or
less under the fear of radicalism," says
Mr.. Clews, ''but this apprehension is
now likely to disappear, and one of the
most dangerous and fnsidious move
ments in our political history has be-
come thing of the past. 1t is long
time since political conditions have
been so stable and satisfactory"
Bryan, the disturber, is removed
from the political field after being in
the limelight on every occasion for
eight years. The saner wing of the
democracy has taken hold of the helm
and will try to pull together the tat
tered ends Of the party and line it up
once more, in order that it may again
secure some voice in the affairs Of
government. The fight which Bryan
started years ago still has its effect
upon the party and it would not be
reasonable for the leaders to expect
victory at the polls this fall, but the
fact that they have dropped the silver
theory and some of their other vagaries
is satisfactory to the business inter-
ests of the country. Mr. Clews sums
up the result of the political develop.
ments thus far in the statement that
stocks have shown more activity and
more strength during the past week
than for long period.

"wHo is HENRY G. DAvIs7"

Countless tongues are asking the
question, "Who is Henry G. Davis?"
This man, whom the democratic party
has made it's candidate for vice presi-
dent after once rejecting him because
of his advanced age, has passed eighty
one nile-stones in the journey of life.
He is twice millionaire and owns
more coal land in West Virginia than
any other man. His fortune has been
made from the minerals of the state
and his collieries stretch for many
miles each way from his palatial home,
"Gracelard," near Elk.ns.
Mr.. Davis, or rather his company,
came to the front at the time Of the
big coal strike in, West Virginia, in
which Mother" Jones took part with
so much persistency that she was ban
ished from the field. John Barrow, of
Keb. was one of the several to suffer
Imprisonment for contempt of court at
that time, he having violated an in
junction by trying to organize the strik-
ing miners.
Henry G. Davis is the typical coal
magnate. Thousands Of acres of land
are daily giving up their wealth to
fill his Golfers, and now, eighty-two
years old, he has an estate valued at
not less than 100000.
With one foot in the grave 1t looks
as if Mr.. Davis had been selected for
the vice-presidency like democratic
tariff, "for revenue only"
Mr.. Davis son-in-law, Senator Steph-
en- B. Elkins, is better known than the
older man. He is associated with him
in the coal business as is also his son
John T. Davis. The elder Davis Is
president of the Davis Colliery com
pany and of the Coal & Coke railroad.
His son is vice president of the two
concerns and handles the large bulk of
the business.

~
accede to this demand meant the
complete and final undoing of Mr.. Bry-
an. We have the spectacle OF that gen
tleman at the risk of his life, rising
from sick bed and like a specter from
political graveyard. entering the
convention. mounting the platform and
with but a recollection of his old mag
netio power and matchless oratory,
feebly. helplessly and pathetically en-
deavoring to stem the tide that was
sweeping him to political oblivion. The
man who for eight years has been the
leader of the dominant democracy and
the idol of millions of voters only ceas-
ed his ineffective efforts when former
friends and political associates turned
upon him like wild animals ready with
denunciation and invective to tear him
to pieces. Then it was that the heart
of Mr. Bryan broke under political adj
versity and he succumbed to the in
evitable. Organism as factor In ma
tional affairs has disappeared, let us
hope forever, from American politics.
The financial policies Of the
great nations of the world
for the past eight years, have
proven beyond all question or cavil
that the principles of the double mon
etary standard and the free coinage of
gold and silver upon fixed ratio are
fundamentally wrong. Yet, as one
looks back over the political history of
the past decade. it is to marvel at the
tremendous and entirely sincere sup
port that can be given to doctrines
which are inherently fallacious.
Few will say that Mr.. Bryan
was consciously a demagogue, and yet
no demagogue ever advocated greater
political heresies than he. We believe
that Mr. Bryan was man of patriotic
impulses and that he has had sincere
ly at heart the best good of all the peo-
pie. He has failed and his political
career has ended tragically, in com
plete eclipse. This failure was inevi-
table. notwithstanding his integrity
and honesty of purpose, because the
principles which he advocated were to
/. large extent. fundamentally wrong.
The close of Mr.. Bryan's meteroric ca
reer and for time brilliant leadership
is one of the inevitable tragedies of
American politics.

HOW TO MAKE 1T "sANE.r

Sioux City Tribune.-The following !
dispatch shows how one town in the
United States had sane" Fourth Of
July:
Nashville, N. c., July 5.--According
to George w. Vanderbilt's orders there
has been no Fourth for the villagers in
Biltmore. Mr. Vanderbilt shut down
on any kind Of a demonstration. Those
who wanted to celebrate had to go out
of the village.
"Mr. Vanderbilt ordered that no fre-t
works should be shot off, and prohibits
ed the sale of fire works in the village
stores. All the Biltmore stores were
Biltmore villagers and Vanderbilt en-
ployes came to Ashville to celebrate"
George owns Biltmore and the resi-
dents have to do as he tells 'em to. He
is little emperor Of an estate, and has
the authority Of an autocrat over the
people within its confines Those who
rebelled against the sane Fourth or
der had to 60 into the United states
proper to give vent to their over
bubbling patriotism. Presumably those
| who remained in Biltmore were per-
rnitted to wave flags and drink lemon-
| ade, but 1t Is often good policy even
| for an emperor to concede something
to public sentiment.
| The instance must be somewhat dis
couraging to those who are not auto
Gratis, but who have been urging al
sane" Fourth. They would have such
observance given voluntarily, without
decrease Of patriotism or Of UNDER
standing of the grand Significance OF
the day, and they look in vain for ex-
amples Of that kind. Instead, they
must contemplate the Biltmore in-i
stance and reflect that the other George
who ruled over Britain and the colon,
les 1870 years ago would have dictated
about the same kind Of a celebration.
The lesson seems to teach that the
people Of the United States will be
sane" on the Fourth when they have
to be, and that it will happen when
! they get an emperor.

atoms that the royal family of England
was made especially to rule the peo-

effect. 1t rather is calculated to make
him feel little like an imposter.
1t is worthy of note that Dowie wait
ed until he had reached home, away
from British soil, before he announced
his determination to dethrone King
Edward and several other rulers The
event is scheduled for 1914 and during
the intervening ten years the Zion
forces will be drilled and trained.
Dowie is a chronic kicker of the most
pronounced type. Surrounded with ev-
cry luxury and with his money barrels
filling up as fast as his converts can
turn over their earthly effects to the
general fund.-" which is another word
for the Dowie pocket-book, he still finds
time to grumble at the existing condi-
tons. His talk about dethroning kings
is the rankest bluff, but it advertises
him and that is his desire. America
has seen many grafters but the most
persistent and the most insolent of all
is the Zion City Dowie

MR.. PARkER's COUP.

The weakness of the democratic
leaders forced Mr.. Parker the nominee
of the democratic national convention
for president, to issue personal mani
festo in recognition of the fact that
the gold standard is firmly and ir-
revocably established in this country.
The story of the Parker telegram and
the dramatic incidents following the
convention is fully told in our news
columns. Mr.. Parker exhibited I'M
questioned strength Of character in
his action in this matter, but this
course on the part of the democratic
nominee only served to emphasize and
bring out in strong relief, the weak.
ness and unreliabliaty of the demo.
cratic leaders who have been conduct.
ing the Parker boom and who will be
that gentleman's chief advisers If he
should be elected president. These
men have had a majority of the con-
vention with them. but at the supreme
moment, they failed to stand firm
and permitted Mr.. Bryan to once more
assert his financial fallacies to the
extent of keeping any declaration upon
the money question out of the demo
cratic platform. This stupendous
blunder became manifest Just as soon
as the members of the convention
fully realized what had been done and
storm of protest was poured in upon
the delegates from prominent members
of the party from all parts of the
country Mr.. Parker's action, in a
measure, saved the day for the re-
organized democracy. But the Incl.
dent clearly revealed, not only the
weakness of democratic professions
but the absolute danger of placing a
national administration once more in
democratic hands. The democracy has
again proved itself unworthy of public
confidence.
