A Far Cry to 1919.

In discussing the democratic situation IN
Missouri. the Providence, r. l., Journal
says:
Mr. Folk however, has now recovered,
at least to the extent of capturing control
of the democratic state committee. ana Will,
II Is believed. have something TO say wheh
'Gumshoe BILL he has been irreverentiy
called comes up for reelection. perhaps the
governor will be the democratic standard
bearer in the 1912 presidential campaign;
who knowsT
why talk about Folk and 1912? Why not
as we'll talk about Smith. Jones or Brown
and 1910? Everything is in such whirl,
and issues appear and disappear so rapidly,
that six years make a long look ahead.
Only two years ago MI. Bryan was practi-
cally a dethroned monarch. He was all but
rolled in the dust at St. Louis. He most
earnestly advised against the nomination of
Judge Parker. and exerted all of his pow
ers in behalf OF very different platform
from the one adopted BY the platform
committee he was heard with some impa-
thence. and in the dispatches one morning
II was announced that Senator Bailey had
been selected to give him a good, sharp,
verbal dressing down for holding out so OBJ
stlnately against the evident desires and
purposes of the party which in two presi-
Dental contests had followed him devotedly
to defeat. What man with a reputation at
stake would then have risked a prophecy as
10 such IA revival Of Bryan influence as We
sac today2
VIII the present revival continue two
years and control the next democratic ma
t.onal convention? If So and Mr.. Bryan Is
then nominated and elected, it will be use
less 20 discuss any other man In connection
With the democratic nomination In 1912.
II will go to him by exclamation, and with
out an effort on his part.
on the other hand, If Mr. Bryan is nom-
iuated and defeated In 1903 the effect on
the democratic party may be so depressing
That other leaders besides him may per-
manenhy so under. Mr.. Folk viii of
course support him. and would come in for
his share OF responsibility for such a result.
Much has happened in the past two
years. Much may happen In the next two
years. and what the. children call "a whole
lot may happen In the next six. The dem
ocratIc leadership IN 1912, II the democracy
Is defeated this year and again two years
hence. will depend upon issues and condi-
lions which may not at this day ne in any
mans calculations. Organized labor will
make a political demonstration this year.
and the socialists are preparing for ticket
OF their own in 1905 and, first and last, the
elections figures OF the near future viii be
important. and they may be very puzzling.

PANAMA BONDS.

From the Grand Rapids Herald.
Having had such success in floating two
per cent bonds. the government may next
try its luck with one per cent.
From the Birmingham Ledger.
If you want Panama bonds you can't get
them, except at high premium.
From the indianapolis News.
II enterprising young men don't quit bid
ding successfully on government bond is
sues and thereby skfnning the regular spec
uiators. something viii really have to be
done about 1t.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The s30.oOo.000 two per cent loan for Pam
anna canal construction just awarded by
the government was oyersubscribed seven
times. II is for Uncle Sam an easy money
market on the easiest known terms.
From the Philadeiphia Public Ledger.
The rumor that Mr.. Byeriey made his
money with only the expenditure Of a
two-cent stamp DIS incorrect. He had 10 pay
for long distance telephone. which cost
at least thirty-hve cents.
From the Providence Tribune and Telegrs,sl.
The oversubscription for the Panama
bonds makes 1t appear that so far as rails
ing the necessary money is concerned we
might cheerfully set out to build half .
dozen such canals as that now begun.

Mr.. Addicks Is again busy in Delaware
politics. He will remain busy while he lives.
Sw eet are the roses Of adversely. But ad-

Mr.. Addicks is very sour. He Is not

himself. The two men We're once friends.

An Unhealthy.

Let science sit I'D and be doing.
Another great myth to make clear,
Like the sea serpent's fame,
'Tis fraudulent claim,
This summer girl talk that we hear.
'Tis only one more of the fancies
Which poets preserve in their list,
Like the naiads and sprites,
or whom every one writes
The summer girl doesn't exist.
She's tanned or she's fearfully freckled;
Her feet are athletic In form.
Her voice is too loud.
And she elbows the crowd
Her temper is frequently warm.
She laughs at your vapid illusions
To ''sea nymphs'' and maids Of the mist;
This girl of today
Has 1t all her own way.
And the summer girl doesn't exist.
