~ EGARDING the Democratic convention the
AN supposed mouthpiece OF the party at Fifth
and Shipley streets is in bad way. The con-
venton stuck to the plow as the emblem and the
question of substituting the rooster was not
even brought up The platform in most parts
the Every Evening thinks is thoroughly bad
1t objects to the party committing itself to Col.
Bryan the Presidential candidate. The open
Endorsement of Colonel Bryan was indeed step
in advance for the Delaware Democrats, who
have always fought shy of Colonel Bryan and
hitherto omitted references to 'piutocracy' and
predatory wealth." terms which the Every
Evening thinks are used only at gutter meeting
gatherings Of the Socialists. The platform was
a hodge-podge from beginning to end and the
work OF many different minds and hands. 1t was
case of too many cooks spelling the broth.
The Democrats probably indorsed Bryan be-
rause there was no other leader in sight. A party
to have any life in it at all, must have some
leader who can attract the voters. No doubt
plenty of enthusiasm could be aroused among
the Democrats if there were leader to whom
they could tie, But it is significant that the
wing OF the party with which our neighbor has
trained was practically in control Of the Demo
cratic convention Hon James II. Hughes used
his blue pencil on the platform and hence the
attacks on predatory wealth" and "plutocracy'
passed under his eagle eye. Mr. Hughes has
never been considered radical and in these days
perhaps he doesn't think the Democratic plat
form is radical. The platform however, leaves
the Democrats practically without the support
Of our neighbyr which will certainly have to or
ganize a party of its own in order to be salts

NO RETREAT FOR BRYAN.

EOLONEL BRYAN is not backing water on
- his advocacy Of the government ownership
of railroads in the country. He has explained
his views and says the government, ownership
proposal is merely his own opinion and the party
will not have to adopt it in the platform OF the
next national convention unless the voters arc
heartily in favor of the idea
Should the voters Of the party bring them
selves to believe in government ownership OF
railroads such plank would certainly be placed
in the platform. 1t is to be presumed that Mr..
Bryan will labor with the voters to have them
accept his ideas. That is what he has done in
the past. But no matter what happens the name
of Bryan will be linked with his momentous sug-
gestion that the government own the railroad
corporations.
1t is not to be supposed that there is lack
of sentiment in this country in favor of Bryan's
new paramount idea. In many OF the State uni
versities the government ownership of railroads,
telephones and telegraph systems has been zeal
ously taught For some time a conflict has been
raging between the writers in Mr. Rockefeers
Chicago University and those of the University
of Wisconsin over this question the Wisconsin
men taking the government ownership end of it.
Neither is it likely that the agitation will be
dropped. The issue, however, is too far in the
distance to make it a practical one before the
people. The railroads exert such vast inhu-
ence now in politics that attempts to make them
get rid of their property would be futile for the
present even were majority of the people in
favor OF government ownership.

Why Are Doctors Jsalous7 ?

Editor The Evening Journal:
lt has always been a question which
the public were. unable TO solve, why
the medical profession are so prone
TO petty jealousies In the olden days
a physician was considered a "man
with a mission" a man upon whom
certain powers and skill had been be-
slowed by the Creator for the purpose
Of allevlating the great physical suf-
ferlngs to which man Is heir In for
mer times the healer donated his SER
Vices but time and circumstances
eventually rendered 1t necessary to
make a charge. The question now is,
does the jealous epoch date from the
beginning Of the monetary period2 II
so the man Is not equal TO his mission.
He is deterloratlng sadly and should
return TO first principles. Our Saviour
was the first known physician. He
made many wonderful cures and in
vested his disciples with his power and
enjoined them TO heal all romers.
There was no jealousy in the Saviour's
makeup. Others were jealous of Him,
but never He of them. The few jeal-
GUS local physicians should pattern af-
ter Christ do all the good they can
on earth and permit others to do the
same. Respectfully,
Fair Play.

PROTECTION OF pEPosIToRs.

FORMER MAYOR STUART, the Republican
! organization candidate for Governor OF
Pennsylvania, is heartily in favor Of the reforma-
ton Of the banking laws of the State 1t is
doubtful whether any real reform will be made
should he be chosen Governor.
The failures OF the banking institutions in Chi
cago, Milwaukee and Philadelphia show the use
iessness and inefciency of so-called examinations
and inspections when the protection Of the inter-
ests of the depositors are concerned.
New York city also had a failure in which
bank was completely looted. In that institution
the supposed vaults were discovered to be mere
y painted like so much stage scenery. Yet when
an effort made to revise the banking laws
OF that State Governor Higgins joined in to de-
feat the will OF the people and nothing was done
to safeguard the depositors and change rotten
banking system that is full Of peril Perhaps the
New York bankers and the system do not want
any changes made that might interfere with
their manipulation of funds.
Protecting banking deposits in the big States
where the captains of finance have full swing. is
as difficult as putting the insurance companies

Want. a River Eront.

Editor The Evening Journals
see by your paper that a movement
Is now on foot TO establish a big ware
house somewhere along the river
front ] think this is the best thing
that has ever happened to this city,
for I believe Il will eventually result
in the establishing Of a permanent
river front for the city that will ad-
vance its interests and will bring in
lincalculable benefits. Wilmingtons
progress is undoubtedly hampered by
the lack OF a proper water front and II
such were established there is every
reason TO think this city would get
much Of the trade that now passes the
city and goes to Philadelphia. This
port is thirty miles or more nearer the
ocean than Philadelphia. and it is only
reasonable 10 presume that shippers
would not travel that distance when
they had some landing place just as
convenient and nearer. Every citizen
should do all I'm his power to secure a
river front for his native town, VIII
