Efficient and Sufficient.

Judge B. F. Mccain, chairman
of the Democratic state conven-
tion, paid the following tribute to
Bryan in his keynote speech:
Possessed of no titled lineage,
no warriors crown, he has been
the welcome guest alike of peasant
and prince-of kings and parlia-
ments in all nations. He wears
upon his brow the digniry of an
honest purpose and nurtures in his
heart the consciousness of an
honest conviction. With the cour-
age of Cromwell he has fought
the battles of the common people
against the encroachment of cor
porate wealth and power, and he
has emerged from the conflict with
the love and esteem of his fellow
countrymen, regardless of politics
and with the admiration of an on
looking world. Richly endowed
by nature and study, broadened
by contact with various govern
ments and peoples, he has been
equally at home with the Indian
douma or in the private audience
with England's hereditary king.
Democracy, whose affections he
has held for more than ten years,
has seen the sun of his popularity
sinking toward the west, but twas
the sunset of the northern sea,
where, without moments dark
ness, she is permitted to watch
the dawning of new day in his
career, with scarce n cloud upon
the horizon. Already the faces of
the Democratic hosts are turned
toward the East to welcome him
home as one of Americas foremost
citizens. There Is but one name
upon their lips-the name of
William Jennings Bryan, of the
United States of America. Democ-
racy proffers not only her heart,
but her hand and whispers:
"Thou art both efficient and suffi-
cient."

Bryan Again Leads.

Naturally some of Mr. Bryan's q
utterances in his New York speech
have startled some conservative
persons and drawn criticism from
the organs representing them. But
it must be remembered that other
utterances made by Mr.. Bryan a
decade ago had similar recep-
tioa in the same quarter. Time,
however, has brought the great
majority of the people OF the coun-
try, including some of it's most
conservative citizens, up to the
same position which Mr.. Bryan
assumed ten years ago.
Mr.. Bryan is nothing if not pro-
gressive. He is not content with
what has been achieved thus far.
The spectacle of a Republican
President adopting many Of his
views of a decade ago naturally
encourages him TO plant bis own
standard still further to the front.
We are moving rapidly n this
country. There aFe laNs ca the

A Question of Graft.
tMarletta rlnes.j

A new bit of scandal cropped
out in the Senate in the debate on
the bill to give the President S25,
900 a year for travelling expenses.
Senator Hale, by way of palliating
the eXtravnGHnt expenses of the
White House, winch amount to
nearly $500, 700 II year in addition
to the maintenance of a warship
as yacht for the Presidents g
private use, said the Presidential
horses and carriages are main
tanned only for use in official busi-
ness. and Senator TilIman demand
ed to know if the same vehicles
were not also used for private pur-
poses, Senator Hale could not
answer this positively, and Sena-
tor Tillman suggested that, hav.
ing raised the issue, he ought to
telephone the White House or
otherwise learn if 1T were not true
that the Government vehicles
maintained for the White House
are used by the Presidential house
hold for personal as we'll as official
business.
1t has been learned that they
are so used habitually. There
was a great scandal some time ago
because the heads of the Depart
ments were caught using public
vehicles for private purposes; and
this sort of petty grating was
checked. 1t now turns out that
they were only following the ex-
ample of the President. His total
disregard of laws limiting his own
powers and privileges have done
more to corrupt public morals in
Washington than all other i'm
moral tendencies combined. His
demand to haye his expenses paid
when travelling on private business
or on hunting trips and for Eleas-
ure is unconstitutional and demor-
alizing, and ought to have been
rejected. 1t is treating the public
treasury as the private property
of the Executive.

Tit for Tat.

The war among the Republicans
of Ohio will find some character OF
conclusion at the coming state
convention. What it will be nc
one can fortell, nor guess. Dough
erty and Barton are leading q
charge against Foraker and Dick,
but it doesn't seem to ruttle the
feathers of the Senators to any
noticeable extent.
Burton thinks Foraker ought to
be disciplined because he did not
support the rate bill, to which
Foraker retorts that Burton OPP
posed the President in the manner
of greater navy, and helped to
defeat the big appropriation which
Roosevelt wanted for more battle
ships. Foraker again calls atten-
tion to the fact that he helped to
create the Interstate commerce
law, under which all recent prose
cutions have been had, which law
was enacted eight years ago, and
then left to sleep its time away un-
til the last few months when an
other presidential campaign began
to loom up and the law was dug
up and put TO work. Its effective
ness as a campaign document is
fully appreciated by the Presi.
dent, who is now working it over
time. Mr.. Foraker reminds the
unthinking that this present law,
now so much admired and talked
about, was allowed to lie dormant
nearly four years under Mckinley,
and nearly four years under Roose-
welt before it was put into action,
and it might not then have been
found to possess any virtue had
not the exigencies of an approach.
ing campaign demanding the
doing of something by somebody.
There is "a movement on foot TO
endorse Roosevelt in the approach
ing state convention, and withhold
endorsement from Foraker and
Dick, Should this program go
through it may be that Taft will
get send off for the presidency,
He is not u fayorite son, but he
will answer for the ram to batter
the Senators with. The row
promises to be one of the most
vigorous the Republicans of Ohio
have had to contend with for
many years.

Montpelier, VT, Sept. g. - Fletcher

States Senator Redfeld Proctor, was
elected governor of Vermont by a
large majority. The Republican or.

over Percival w. Clement of Rutland,
the Independent and Democratic can.
didate, would exceed $1,000. The nor.
NAL Republican plurality in Vermont
Is about 21,000 Scattered returns re-
celved from the two congressional dis
tricts of the state indicate that Rep
resentative ID. J. Foster of Burlington
and Kittredge Haskins of Brattleboro,
both Republicans, have been returned
by the usual large vote. Returns from
100 towns out of 246 show that the
legislature will be overwhelmingly
Republican.
AS the contest two years ago was
a straight one between the two old
parties, no comparison can be made
with the vote cast at that time. Four
years ago, when John G. Mccullough,
the regular Republican candidate for
governor, was opposed by Clement,
Independent Republican, and F. w.
McGettrick of ST. Adams, Democrat,
the vote in those towns was 1851.
That for Clement was 1921 and Nc
Gettrick 2,545. This comparison
shows gain for Proctor of 1864 and
loss for Clement of 415. National
issues did not figure in the contest to
any extent.

Havana, Sept. 5.-From an authen-

rising has been planned to take place
shortly in Santiago province.
Colonel Simas detachment of rural
guards encountered band OF 40 in
surgents near Canas, in the western
