ACTOR REVEALS NAME OF JONES.
Purged OF Contempt as witness In Brady
Divorce Suit.

A night spent In the custody of the Sheriff
for contempt Of court in refusing TO answer
Q question put to him at the trial OF the
Brady divorce suit changed the mind OF
Edward Lawrence, an actor, who was called
as a witness by Mrs. Brady.
He said that he had bound himself not
to reveal tho details OF an incident in Mil
waukee when he saw, as he testified, Daniel
NJ. Brady and Gertrude Mackenzie, the
actress, in q hotel room together. He old
all that he saw, but refused to disclose the
name Of O woman to whom he had related
the facts. This woman, who he said yester-
day was Mary Jones, a cousin of Mrs. Brady,
released him from the pledge not to diyulge
her identity, and on receiving this release,
Lawrence explained, he agreed to purge him
self of contempt by telling all he knew.
As q matter of fact, before Lawrence was
committed on Tuesday evening Mrs.
Brady's counsel told him that the release
would be got at once and aRked him to ties.
tify as directed by the Court. Lawrence said
then that he wouldn't tell anyway, release
or no release, but he changed his mind.
Mrs. Brady's side Of the case was finished
yesterday and Brady took the stand in his
own behalf. He denied that he had ever
been guilty of misconduct with Miss
Mackenzie. The trial continues to-day

MOODY and Bonaparte.

Mr. Moody goes on the bench with the
reputation of a good lawyer, and at a
time of life warranting the expectation
of long service. His experience in the
Department of Justice has been valuable,
and his knowledge of public questions
derived from his work elsewhere will
also stand him well in hand as a member
of the Supreme Court. In the attorney
generalship Mr.. Bonaparte should find
himself quite at home His place at the
Maryland bar was for years among the
highest, and such place could not have
been won by any but lawyer of superior
parts. AS he is in thorough sympathy
with the administration he will simply
transfer talents which have aided it in
one Office to another Office. The move
ment against the trusts will not halt or
go backward. and there is no reason to
fear that Mr. Bonaparte as the govern
ments adviser will not contribute his full
share toward pushing it along.

A JOLT for Spelling Reform.

The House of Representatives, has formal
ly gone on record, by very large ma
jority against the simpified spelling, di-
recting the use of the conventional forms
in the printing of all public documents.
Assuming that the Senate agrees. thus
practically ends the effort to lend govern
ment prestige to a movement which has
given the country a great deal to discuss
during the past few months. Ia some
ways. this is an unfortunate result That
there is a pronounced sentiment in the
United States for a certain measure of
spelling reform cannot be denied by even
those who are most outspoken in their
antagonism to the Presidents 3OO-word
order. But this sentiment has not gone
nearly as far as that order prescribed.
Certain words in the Presidents list
aroused the opposition even of many mod
crate spelling reformers. The proposed
substitution of thru for through" was
probably the gravamen of the offense. That
change was too radical to be accepted at
once, especially in connection with other
changes. 1t is true that only a very few
of the 300 words in the Presidents list are
materially different from the present usage
Many of the so-called new words are in
fact already employed by the large majority
of Americans.
Had the order stopped short of such in
novation as thru and .'thoro" it would
doubtless have appealed strongly to the
common sense of the country. Those two
words and their derivatives gave the clue
to the testers and the knockers and the
whole list was ridiculed in some quarters
and misrepresented. photographic atroci-
ties were put forth as parts of the pro-
posed new system. The weird spelling of
Josh Billings was exceeded in the produc-
lions OF the militant enemies of the new
system. Everything possible was done to
cast ridicule upon the movement, which
appealed in large measure to the common
sense of many people. Had these few
words of extraordinary difference from the
conventional mode been omitted from the
hst there would have been no warrant for
this unfair propaganda against the reform
Such reform must come by degrees.
and cannot be effected by DEGREES II is
sui possible for the people to be acquaint-
ed gradually with the more rational WAYS
or spelling which the reformers urge. but
this process will possibly be the more diff
cult because of the setback which Con-
Sress has given to the effort. 1t will in
any case be deplorable If the country
divides into two schools of spelling. the
obdurate reformers sticking to thru and
'thoro' and the like and the maioritv
hololng fast to the illogical but familiar
forms OF through and thorough" We
may divide on politics and religion and
schools of medicine. but we should at least

The Plutocrats Were Pleased.

1t appears from the news reports of the
Pennsylvania dinner in New York last
night that not all present agreed with
Secretary Root in his estimate of the fed
eral powers. There were, it appears, some
vocal evidences of dissent after he had fin
ished. He was followed by Justice Brown.
of the Pennsylvania state supreme court,
who. speaking to the toast, 1.-The Judici-
ary," made direct reply to Mr.. Root. He
extolled the power of the courts and in
his peroration declared that the courts give
commands not only to individuals but
even to Presidents and Congress" This
climax was vociferously applauded. The
scene that ensued Is described as one of
almost riotous rejoicing. In the New York
Worlds report of the dinner is printed the
following paragraph:
~. Pierpont Morgan forgot his dignity in
the elation of the moment and pounded his
table with his fist until glasses over
turned and the champagne with which
they had been filled went splashing upon
everybody near him. Across the table
from Mr.. Morgan sat George F. Baer-
Divine Right Baer.' In his exuberance over
Justice Browns arraignment of the Roose-
welt administration he pounded the floor
with his feet. raising his knees so high
that it seemed that the table must go over.
When they had worn their feet tired, Nor
gan and Baer took to clapping their hands.
Their joy was unconfined.'
The country will take notice that those
who most enthusiastically applauded the
sentiment that the President and Congress
are not the supreme power in the land were
two men who are squarely before the people
as archetypes of the money power, J. Pier.
pont Morgan and George F. Baer-Morgan,
whose business it is to form trusts, and
Baer, who has claimed to be, the possessor
of Divine right to corner the anthracite
coal supply of the country.
The spectacle these two plutocrats pre-
scented last night forgetting their dignity
in their fervor of approval of sentiment
that the federal administrative power is not
supreme, is well worth consideration. 1t
may serve to detract somewhat from the
public endorsement of what was said by
Justice Brown. Many a public speaker
has been queered in the past by the charac-
ter of his clauue.

by Mr.. Cochran and Mr.. Sulzer, and as Mr.
Towne had nothing else to offer Leader
Murphy had decided to dispense with his
services. Probably Mr.. Towne is justified
in his sensitiveness. After accepting COM
mission from such an organization he does
not want to figure no longer worthy OF
even Tammany's notice.
But Mr.. Towne might have done well to
spare the populists. Some excellent and
able men have been members of that party,
and Mr. Bryan. whom Mr.. Towne admires
so much. and whose running-mate in 1908
ne aspfres to be, has very warm place in
his heart for populism and its former ad-
hercnts. He has twice received considerable
support from them, and will be much
obliged for more OF the same loyal kind two
years hence. In that day therefore the
populist or ex-populist may be man of
more honor In the country than an ex-
Tammanyite.
Explaining that he was now a democrat,
good and fast. Mr.. Towne continued:

wise decision. IS a rule the pubic
cares little about why a politician s.
turned his coat. The fact itself Is suffi-
cient. Now one thing and now another
causes it. Sometimes it is Office. Sometimes
it is pique. Not infrequently conviction of
profound character respecting policies of
the greatest Importance carries men from
one party to another and then back again.
In the past ten years a situation has ex-
listed in this country causing many changes
OF base. Democrats have become repub-
licans. and republicans democrats; popu-
lists. after holding together for a period.
have divided, some going back to former
democratic and some to former republican
alignments, while men who until recently
had never given thought to the subject
are now open and avowed socialists.
The political wanderer Is not a lonesome
man in America today. He meets his fell
lows at every turn. Whether the unrest
which has produced such state of affairs
will prove for the ultimate good of the
country Is a question.

Make Them Citizens.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The misty distinctions which have been
drawn by the Supreme Court rulings as
to the colonial and the territorial lands of
the United States, and as to the differences
between the lands which are "appurtenant
and belonging and those which are a
part" Of the United States, may further
complcate the question when it comes to
declaring the Porto Ricans citizens of the
United States; but 1t can matter little
whether We are to regard the people of
Porto Rico as citizens of sort of crown
colony or of a territory say, such as Art
zona- There Is not the slightest danger or
prospect of a wholesale migration either
to or from the island. The Porto Ricans
feel the anomaly and the injustice of their
present status, and if the granting of citi-
zenship. or of the right to acquire citizen
ship. will draw them closer to US and
cement the ties of confidence and affection,

Mr.. Roots Speech.

Why not go into committee of the whole
on the state of the Union for the consdera-
ton of Mr.. Roots speech? 1t Is very
strong and noteworthy deliverance, and
presents a case about which al: thoughtful
men are now concerned. For years the
nation has grown more and more, and the
individual states less and less. This has
been the logic of our development. 1t has
followed, as Mr.. Root points out, the law
of our growth Inventions obliterated state
lines in many things and then the civil
war beuueathed to the nation Its capital
N Nothing doing can never truthfuily
be said of us We are always on the do
and the nation is the instrument of our
activity.
While the change has been gradual. 1t is
within the last year or two that attention
has become fixed upon the subject in way
to awaken wide and earnest speculation
In that time the nation has exercised great
err power than ever before, and not only
with the consent but with the support OF
men representing the section of the country
where state rights for long answered the
ends of a fetish. We have national quar-
antine law largely at the south request ana
for her benefit, and the southern senators
in the matter of the railroad rate law would
have gone further IN the d1rection OIL ma
tional control than under the republican
leadership they were permitted to go.
And there are other things of like charac-
ter pressing for attention. and likely to Sc
cure 1t in the future. Is there any
thing palmer therefore than that we
should all get together and talk about the
Constitution? Could anything but good
come of a sober consideration of that great
work In connection with twentieth century
conditions and requirements by conven-
ton composed of the pick of our electorate!
IL but one thing were pressing single
amendment covering it might answer. But
a. number of things are under popular and
informal discussion, and convention with
out limitation as to time or subject matter
would give us not only results as to pres
ent needs, but many valuable suggestions
as to probable future ones.
Never since the government was organ
lied have the people as a whole been more
firmly in favor of the old flag and an APP
preparation. Speaking colfoquially, We need
both in our business as never before. The
flag is everywhere recognized as the symbol
of great power, and in the benefcent exer-
else of that power the national government
requires a generous money support. We
must continue to do things, and big things
in the truly national spirit of lone for all.
and all for o1e.,. That is what the United
States means today, and the national chart
should express It in unmistakable terms.
