Discovering New Stars.

Few people realize what a hard JOB
1t is to discover a new star; not IN the
theatrical firmament-any good, handy
press agent a discover one there al
most any bright evening-but in the
vast and boundless dome above.
Night after night the patient explorer
must sweep the starry heavens with a
telescope; a carpet sweeper positively
will not do. While the world is snoring
away at the rate of forty miles an hour
he must keep watching for some pa
tent little star that is sitting all alone
out in the cold waiting to be discov-
cred.
And after 1t is found the discoverer
must check off about a million of those
already known to make certain that II
has not been discovered before. 1t is
enough to give a man who likes to
sleep nights the headache to think
about 1t.

Roosevelt=-Bryan

The New York World believes it
is not unlikely that Mr.. Roosevelt
will some day support MIR. Bryan
for president, and gives as its rea-
son for such q belief that Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan are GER
tainly as close together today as
are Mr.. Roosevelt and Senator
Adrich. The senator is mention
ed merely as a type of a certain
large and influential class OF Re
pubIicans who oppose any reduc-
tion in the tariff. The World
thinks that il Mr.. Bryan were to
abandon completely some of his
half-surrendered financial theories
and il Mr.. Roosevelt were to re-
adopt his own 1884 tariff theories,
no really important differences
would separate them. president
Roosevelt has many warm adj
mirers and ardent supporters, and
William Jennings Bryan seems by
no means the least of them.
In order to show how nearly the
pno great men are IN accord con-
corning certain political policies,
the following incidents and the
beliefs of each are given here
with:
In his speech at the dinner of
the indianapolis jackson club MI.
Bryan took occasion to commend
the presidents railway program.
He said the Democrats would as
sist Mr.. Roosevelt in, the regula-
ton of railway rates. While in
clining toward federal ownership
of trunk lines and state ownership
of local lines, Mr.. Bryan wishes a
fair trial of government super
vision and regulation.
AT Memphis a few days before
be declared that Democrats would
support Mr.. Roosevelt's corpora
tion-curbing policies, and venture
to predict that if Mr.. Roosevelt
carried out his program he would
be regarded as the greatest pres
ident in the history of the United
States.
Mr.. Roosevelt believes in tariff
revision. SO does Mr.. Bryan, al
though the latter would go further
and remove the protective element
from the tariff.
Mr.. Roosevelt believes in the
federal regulation of railroads
rates. So does Mr.. Bryan. The
plank in the ST.. Louis platform
demanding enlarged powers for
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is said to have been framed
by him.
Mr.. Roosevelt believes in federal
licenses for corporations engaged
in interstate comm cree. SO does
Mr. Bryan. He advocated it as
long ago as 1900.
Mr.. Bryan believes in ultimate
ownership of public utilities. Mr..
Roosevelt does not-yet. But Mr..
Roosevelt is more nearly in ac-
cord with the Theodore Roosevelt
of q few years ago. The Roose-
welt of today must regard the
Roosevelt of 1896 as little better
than an unwilling tool of pluto
cracy.
Mr.. Bryan still has a larger per-
sonal following, perhaps than any
other Democrat now actively be-
fore the public. Mr. Roosevelt
has a larger personal following
