Drunken Men in Police Cells.

Although a coroner's jury has declared
that no responsibility for the death of the
prisoner Colston attaches to the members
of the police department, the public will be
prone TO ask whether this does not
accentuate the demand for general re-
vision of the system of treating drunken
prisoners in the police stations of Wash
ington \ few months ago a stranger in
this city a citizen of West Virginia, died
I'm police cell and the case disclosed that
although he had been arrested as
drunk he had probably been given poison
for purposes of robbery. He had received
no medical treatment whatever. and his
death was. apparently. due to the fact
that he lay for hours unattended. No one
was then formally blamed for this negli-
gence il being evidently a case which did
not seriously violate the rules of the depart
ment. Since then. however orders have
been issued calling for a more frequent ex-
animation of prisoners.
In the Colston case the man was classi-
fled at the time of his arrest as intoxicated
He should have been rated as patient as
we'll as a prisoner. He was allowed to
sleep 1t off" He slept practically to his
death OF course the police could not have
known that he had been injured MORALLY.
But if a physician had been on duty at the
station house this case would perhaps have
ended differently. At all events the man
would have had a chance for his life.
There should be established here in Wash
ington central police station provided
with hospital wards. to which should be
taken all prisoners suffering from illness
or intoxication. These prisoners should
he given medical treatment. This is the
only humane way to dispose of the VIC
TINS of the drink habit. They are in need
of attention at all times and they should
no longer be rated as mere membranes
and thrown into cells to sleep or suffer
and run the risk OF death through inatten-
ton. If the police department lacks funds
or authority now to provide such central
station it should be provided with the
means through early legislation.

A Nippy Day.

Boreas and Jack Frost got busy together
early this morning and gave Washington
a nip of the real thing in the way of Win
ter weather There was only sprinklng
of snow, but it served warning of what
may come later. The thermometer shrank
from the chill blasts until it registered
below 80. 1t was not so very cold, but 1t
was decidedly disagreeable. The wind
played havoc. 1t drove the chill air into
the houses and ratified the windows and
buffeted the unfortunates who had to VEN
ture abroad 1t made a plaything of the
man who carried the banner in the min
strel parade He was earning all that was
coming to him. He was a spectacle worth
watching. Imagine a man carrying sail
head-on against the wind on a day like
this, Especially in the middle of Penn
sylvania avenue. Watching him. other men
forgot their troubles and laughed loud and
long. and while thus diverted some of them
permitted the wind to toy with their hats
and they went racing off in pursuit 1t
was lively work, today, trying to live In
Washington. And while the cold wind
blew in the open, the hot-air blast on
Capitol Hill did its best to temper the at
mosphere, but without avail beyond the
marble walls. Life is various and divert
ing in the capital city at times.

Railroad Accidents"
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Do the public realize the enormous num-
Der of persons killed annually in railroad
accidents in the United States? Do they
know that in the careless, happy go-lucky
manner in which our railways are operated
Q, 703 persons lost their lives and S6,00S were
injured during the last fiscal year? This is
not guess work. Those are official figures.
Think of it! Nearly 10000 dead, and not
for from 100000 MANNED within twelve
month, by systems that send carloads of
freight and passengers rushing over the
country, pell nell, in a devil-may-care fash
ion with the result of trains ditched here,
others ploughing into each other there.
grade crossings having lneir victims at
numerous places, and wrecks such the
latest holocaust on Thanksgiving day, near
Lynchburg, Va, constituting another chap
ter in the ever continued tale of American
railway tragedies. That is the cold, solid
truth about it. 1t is not to be denied, or
softened down, or managerially CLOSED
over with would-be indignant assertion that
accidents are unavoidable and often due to
what old-fashioned bills of lading called
the "act of God"

"Bob" Taylor on Bryan.

Senator-elect Taylor Of Tennessee-people
insist upon calling him "Bob'-has been
lecturing in Kentucky, but found time to
talk politics. His admirers, interested as
they are In all he says, seem to care more
for his views about public men ar pubic
issues Of the day than for his 'word-paint-
ings' of this, that, and the other. At any
rate wherever he goes he Is interrogateo
about current political matters and he al
ways obliges his interrogators. He tells
them what they want to know. in terms
both to instruct and to entertain, and never
SHES at any topic.
Mr. Taylor is a Bryan man. 1t must be
the Nebraskan's eloquence that has such
grip on his admiration. Something has, for
despite his two defeats for the presidency
his ineffective campaign for Judge farker
in 1904 and his equally ineffective effort to
elect democratic representatives this year,
as well as his declaration in favor OF gov
eminent ownership and operation or rail-
roads. of which Mr.. Taylor does not ap-
prove Mr.. Bryan still appears to the ZEN
nessee leader as the strongest man In the
democratic party, and the one who should
be nominated in 1908.
Mr.. Taylor sees no difficulty in taking Mi.
Bryan and leaving Mr. Bryan's doctrines.
He says that the party will write the plat
form, putting its disapproval on govern
ment ownership of railroads, and then place
the standard in Mr.. Bryan's hands. He
does not seem to doubt that Mr.. Bryan will
accept on the party's terms, and pledge
himself to be guided by the party's wishes.
In other words. Mr.. Taylor sees Mr.. Bryan
no longer the leader but the led. and anx-
ious enough now for office to follow where
the party judgment directs.
Out of what this confidence grows is not
clearly apparent. Mr.. Bryan was lead
ing when he spoke in the Madison Square
Garden. and has been leading ever since,
despite the storm of protest awakened by
that address. Whether before western,
southern or middle state audiences, he has
continued to expound his railroad views,
in way to testify to their absolute Slns
cerity. His only concession has been in an
admission that he might be ahead of his
party on the issue, but this was coupled
with an intimation that he fully expected
his party to catch up
If put to the test suggested by Mr..
Taylor will Mr.. Bryan yield? Were he to
run for President on a platform accepted
as condemning the issue of government
railroads. Mr.. Bryan in office could not In
honor move in that direction. The influ-
ence of the presidency while he exercised it
could not be thrown as MIR. Bryan would
feel 1t should be with regard to policy
more important in his eyes than any he has
espoused since he staked all on silver.

The Proposition From Des Moines.

a reply to The Stars inquiry of yesterday
respecting an overhauling of the Constitu-
tion has come more promptly than expected.
The resolutions of the Des Moines conven-
ton, now in session considering the ques-
ton of eecting United States senators by
popular vote. after complaining of the Sem
ate's refusal to assist in that movement
contain the following:
THAT while this convention would much
prefer that Congress should submit to the
several states proposed amendment to the
Constitution for the election of senators by
direct vote of the people, so that the states
might pass upon II. as single question, yet
inaSmuch as the Senate persistently refuses
TO submit such amendment 1t therefore
earnestly recommends that the legislatures
of the several states do. in pursuance of
Article " of the Constitution of the United
States. make application to the Congress to
call a convention for the purpose of pro-
posing amendments to the Constitution of
the United States"
4 large majority of the states are repre-
scented at this convention by delegates
named by the governors. The Importance of
the meeting was recognized and the bust
ness intrusted to men of reputation and ex-
perience. Politics does not enter into the
matter at all. Democrats and republicans,
differing widely on other issues, are agreed

BRYAN on Professional Soldiers.

Mr. Bryan detects and deplores a war
like tone in the Presidents references to
the army and navy. He says: War ought
to be last resort. not a first considera-
ton II is bad enough to have a few profess
sional soldiers" Yes. indeed. A beautiful
sentiment, as a sentiment. But would Mr..

Why Shop EarlyP
From the Chicago Post.

There are several excellent reasons why
you should do your Christmas shopping
as early as you possibly can, but the chief
one is-or should be-concern for the Clerks
in the stores who have to bear the brunt
of the extra holiday buying. 1t is because
of the hardships that holiday shopping
places on the young women, girls, and even
children, in the stores, that national eff
fort is being made to induce buyers to be
more thoughtful, for it is merely through
thoughtlessness that many shoppers delay
their holiday buying to the last possible mo-
ment. Newspapers and merchants through
out the country are joining in an effort to
bring it home to millions of shoppers that
they can benefit themselves and everyone
concerned if they will do their Christmas
buying early in the season and early in the
day, thus lengthening the holiday shopping
period and reducing the disadvantages
usually attendant upon the holiday crowds.

Money! in Politics.

This nsraRraph from the Presidents mes
sage should be favorably considered py
Congress at once:
Il again recommend law prohibiting all
corporations from contributing TO the cam,
paign expenses of any party. Such Dill
has already passed one house OF Congress
Let individuals contribute as they desire.
but let us prohibit In effective fashion all
corporations from making contributions for
any political purpose, directly or indirectly.
1t is highly probable that the corporations
have never given as literally to the man
aging politicians as rumor has represented.
Such a topic easily leads to exaggeration
But they have given largely. and to both
parties. and ever since President Have
never of the Sugar Trust made his ad-
mission on the witness stand In this town
twelve years ago sentiment against the
practice has been growing. 1t is now very
strong and the law asked for by the Presi-
dent should be passed.
We shall not then, however, have solved
the question of too much money in our
elections. Something more must be done
to correct an evil which even then VIII
be great. The corporations were prac-
ticaIly barred from the recent campaign
but neither party went hungry. Both were
well supplied with the sinews of war, ana
both made use of all the old devices-some
of them expensive-for stirring up the
voters and getting them to the polls. NO
Individual contribution, with one exception
was large, but a great many were received
and the total, in the case of the one party
as of the other, was substantial. 1t still
appeared that we were doing campaign
business on a generous financial scale.
The exception mentioned was startling
and full of suggestion. Mr. Hearst, put
upon his obligation. admitted an expendi-
ture of a quarter of a million dollars That
is to say he had spent at least that much
money in an effort to be elected governor
of New York. Few men can afford such
an outlay. and fewer still are disposed to
make it in quest of political honors. But
the question is, should man able and
disposed to make it be permitted to do So?
Should he be permitted to buy his way to
place in such fashion? AS legislation
should not be scotland the ruling of cor
porations out of politics is to prevent that
should offices be left open to traffic?
Had Mr.. Hearst been successful at the
polls his bill of expenses would of itself
have been a cloud upon his commission
which nothing could have dispelled.
But how may this sort of thing be RENE
died? You cannot bar rich men from as
piring to office, and as Mr.. Hearst has
plainly shown when they do aspire the
amount of their campaign contributions is
left entirely to their spirit as spenders and
the strenuosty demanded of them as candi-
dates

and in discussing that have come to an
agreement as to this larger question.
Well. why not a constitutional conven-
ton? What but good could come of it?
The debates in themselves would be of the
greatest value. To such a body none but
men of recognized learning in the law and
government would be sent and from their
conferences and discussions everybody
would be able to extract something of
value. The Constitution as 1t stands has
occasioned no end of disputes. Great
lawyers and great publicists have all along
been found on either side of the line. We
have had from the beginning. and have
now, strict construction school and a
liberal construction school. and all sorts
of meanings have been read into, and then
read out of, the more important provisions
of the instrument.
But more vital than this is the fact that
things have changed so much with US in the
past fifty years. In many particulars We
have a new country. In that time we have
fought two wars one of them for the pres
ervation of the government itself, and from
both inherited new problems of the highest
Importance. The states were welded to-
gether by the civil war. and since then we
have been operating largely on centralized
principles. while as a result of the war with
Spain we have acquired territory far from
our base. and calling for new wrinkles in
the exercise of both executive and legisla-
tive functions.
We are not going backward in our ma
tional life. and we cannot stand still. For.
ward is the law of vigorous body polite,
and II the national chart needs substantial
revision-always preserving of course the
principles of liberty and equality before the
law-revision should be made At any rate.
why not formally and officially discuss the
whole subject?
