WITH THE EDITORS

Mr. Bryan may never be president;
will never be, unless the American
people have become too simple to
see him as he is; but in employing
circus and campmeeting methods as
a candidate for the highest office in
their gift he has never had his equal.
A man who has no claim to eonstruc-
tive craftsmanship whose informa-
tion on any economic subject is sup
CRITICAL and whose administrative
abilities his partial friends serious
ly doubt; Mr. Bryan's amending can
didacy for that office is not flatter-
ing to the democratic party. Mr.
Bryan must have a rather small OPP
inion of the party himself, if he has
a natural sense of humor To be
indispensable when one is a make
believe statesman is like an indict-
ment of the party Of Thomas Jeffer-
son for lack of wit and gumption.
The American people. however,
have taken Mr. Bryan's measure
twice, and their second verdict of
insuficiency was more emphatic than
their first. The fact that he courts
a third verdict is not fattering to
his intelligence York Sun.

RAILROAD NOTES

The turn matters have taken may
end excursions after this season, as
the presidents of various railroads
have taken the low excursion rate in
hand. This is believed to be an out
growth of the action of the Erie in
fighting low excursion rates. 1t is
now said that this broad scope of the
rate war will make plain to the
heads of the road the necessity of
an agreement on much higher basis
of fares for excursions The trouble
originated in Cleveland.

One deplorable feature of our adj
vancement along scientific lines is
the tendency to misuse modern in
ventions and appliances. For ex-
ample, the moving picture machine
might be employed to record acurate-
ly, for the enlightenment of sue
ceeding generations, the great
events Of current history. but the
tendency seems rather to securet and
present that which will merely
amuse OF else present only the ex-
aggerated and unnatural side of life.
The result of this misuse of the NOV
ing picture machine cropped out at
Evansville yesterday when a 10-year-
old boy was arrested for burglary.
He confessed that he had been start
ed on a criminal career by seeing
moving pictures and that one-a
view showing how train robbers work
had resolved him to follow their
example.-Fort Wayne News.
