VRGINIANS SPLIT
ON BRYAN PLANK

Having failed utterly TO work up a
suggestion or rivalry or disagreement in
their own election Of officers. and having
finally reelected the antire corps Of
those who had served the preceding
year. the Virginia Democratic Associa-
ton last evening at length injected life
into its proceedings by q little hght
over the Endorsement OF William j.
Bryan.
The Eebraskan got away with his in
dOgsement, but not without some
scratches, Major R c. GlasscOck intro
duced the resolution that caused the
trouble. It was offered as a substitute
for one by President r. Z. /. Yeilott,
indorsing Bryan and his policies. though
not demanding his nomination again,
Major GlassCock moved this substitute;
That IL IS the opinion OF this associa-
tion that the Democratic party should
at once unload William Jennings Bryan
and his drastic ideas, and clear the
decks OF all rubbish for the successful
campaign in 1906.
Major Glasscock's resolution was RC-
cepted By some OF those present as rep
resentative Of the feeling which is de-
veloping among the followers OF Sena-
tor John Daniel. who recently denounced
the extreme economi, proposals Of Bry-
an. Tor GlassCOCk made plain that
he agreed with the general views OF the
senior Senator from Virginia. whose
opposition 10 Bryan is already bearing
fruit OF faction IN the State.
Bryan. declared Major GlasscOck, in a
fiery little speech. IS no Democrat, any
how; he is a POpulist FusiOnist and
only as an afterthOught a Democrat.
Anyhow, his record was that Of a loser
rather than q winner, and the major
didn't believe he could ever inspire the
necessary confidence 70 win
President TellOtt defended his resOlu-
ton, and declared that Bryan was de-
spite two defeats. the greatest and
strongest Democrat. That he is the
greatest statesman Of his day. vindi-
Gated by all the developments since 1895
Is proved by the adoption OF so many
Of his very cardinal policies BY the Re-
pUbliCans.
There was a mild murmur Of support
for the Glasscock resolution and a rath-
or vigorous dissent when IL was sub
mltted 10 a voter. The resolution by
President Yellott was finally adopted.

HAZING UNKNOWN
At WEST POINT

According TO the board of visitors 10
the United States Military Academy
hazing at that institution is a thing
of the past. 1t has been effectuaIlv
stamped out. Gen. Horace Porter, who
was president Of this board, has signed
q report 10 the Secretary of War in
which the following statement is made:
THE practice OF hazing new cadets.
at one time prevalent among the older
students OF the Academy, has been ef-
feCtuaily stamped out, and we have
been informed that no instance of real
haZing has COmC to the attention of
The Academy authorities during the
last three years or since effective
measures We're employed for its aboli-
ton This excellent state of discipline
coulG only have resulted from the
hearty cooperation of the student body
when once u had brought 20 its atten-
ton the fact that the hazing practice,
as carried on, was seriously impairing
she usefulness of the institution. The
esprit de corps and high code of honor
prevalent i'm the cadet rangs were never
more satisfactory than at the present
tire, and that haZing no longer exists
here must be very largely attributed TO
this gratifying status among the
students themselves

tributed.

Making government by injunction the

ances. the Text Book of Labor's Politl-
cal Demands" has just come from the
press. issued by the executive council
OF the American Federation OF Labor.
The booklet Of thirty-eight pages de
votes almost half Of its space 10 the
discussion Of this issue. il is pointed
out with much earnestness that in this
as IN other demands which labor makes
specifically for itself Ii represents the
interest Of every person in the country
Labors bill Of grievances, as present
ed to Congress and the President last
spring. IS reproduced. and the compost
ton and potential force Of the Fedora
ton is explained. Three million workers
are claimed in the federated organiza-
uons. Twenty years ago the Federation
resolved IN convention that the time
was ripe for workingmen 20 protect
their interests ct the ballot box. The
present incursion into politics IS there
fore no new revolutionary affair. Some
OF the important achievements in behalf
Of labor. wrought by reason Of its active
interest IN politics. are reoounted by way
or showing that as a whole the political
results have been such as the entire
community must approve.
A most interesting history Is given Of
the process OF government by intunc-
tiOni' pointing out thar the Injunction
was first used IN labor disputes IN Eng
land. and there had been repudla led
and utterly outiaWed by the highest
courts as en- unWarranted extension Of
their functions, years before the first
Ike Injunction was issued IN the United

has gone on until labor regards II as
grave menace.
