SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS.

III ffSObLEuO-
The solutions to the problems pub
lished in lesson No. "a are as follows:
In the declaration why not leave it
and let your partner pick out his best
suit? To risk a no-trumper when you
are a game in with a weak suit and
three others the command of which can
be forced in one lead is too much of a
gamble. If the score were reversed.
however, and the declarer were game
behind he would be forced to take the
chances of no-trumper. To go no
trumps with a game in is to risk let
ting the adversaries go out on your
deal and start the rubber on their own
deal with the score game -all. This is
the sort of thing that loses rubbers.
The best play of hand No. Is is for
the dealer to win the first trick, lead
trumps and exhaust them and then lead
a low spade from dummy's hand. The
only tricks possible for the, ,adversaries
are the spade K, one diamond and one
club unless there are four trumps in
one hand.
The solution to problem No. IS is for
to lead trumps, followed by the dia-
mond L. If B covers with the 2
trumps and leads trumps. If A dis
cards a spade on the third trick so does
Y. If discards a club Y discards a
diamond.

This is unquestionably a hand with
out trick in 1t, and no matter what
the trump suit may be it is impossible
to guarantee q trick In trumps even,
unless all the higher cards fall in two
or three rounds. You cannot ruff any
thing, and nothing but miracle could
make one of your cards good for a trick
in plain suits unless your partner had
all the higher cards in the suit.
In such a hand as the foregoing it is
evident that when you say it Is not
good for trick you mean not only
what you say. but you imply that you
could not make it good for a trick, not
even if you named the trump suit
But now let US change the COM
plexion of the hand a little and take
such combination of cards as the fol-
lowing:
The San Francisco call., 1906-11-29
No. IS

The generally accepted idea of a de-
fensive spade make is that it is to save
money. whether the declaration is made
by the dealer or the dummy. When the
dealer calls spades originally" his idea
is not TO win few points and be satis-
fed with them. but to lose few tricks
and be glad that they were not worth
much.
But there are other so-called .defen-
sive" declarations which are not made
with the preconceived idea that some
thing must be lost on the hand in any
case, but are intended to secure a value
for certain suit which would probably
be good for nothing If the declaration
were left TO the dummy.
If you ask the average run of bridge
players to give you the rule for defen-
sive spade makes, they will tell you to
go spades when you have not a possible
trick in your hand. That is the way
they usually express it offhand. But
what trick" do they refer to? There
are hands which are not good for a
trick at no-trumps which are sure
grand slams with a trump; thirteen of
one suit, for instance
There is nothing like concrete ex-
ampies to illustrate a point In bridge
tactics, so let us take hand like this:

trumps will be good for two tricks in
trumps, no matter how weak those six
cards may be. 1t is not necessary to
weary the reader with the algebraical
proof of this statement. Those who are
interested in such details will find the
formulae in DR.. Poles Philosophy of
Whist" page 141. If you will take six
cards of one suit and seven cards of
various other suits. and then deal out
the remaining thirty mine cards of the
pack a number of times, you will find
that in only one-third of those times
viii any player at the table have as
many as four trumps against you; and
in one-third of the occasions on which
this does happen the player will be
your partner.
If it Is true that any hand containing
six cards of one suit can be made worth
two tricks by naming that suit for%the
trump. no matter how weak the cards
may be, why should not that suit be
declared, if the alternative is that the
hand is not good for a single trick with
any other declaration?
We shall have something to say
about the details of this system Of de-
claring next week.

Bryan's New Democracy.

For Il dozen years now the Demo-
cratic party has been the minority
party throughout the United States,
and according to his views as ex-
pressed in a recent issue of the Com
moner, William J. Bryan. who has
twice lead the party to defeat at
national election, is determined to keep
the party in that unhappy condition.
The article in question is nothing less
than an attempt to read out of the De-
mocracy every one who is connected
with corporation that holds
franchises or favors from the govern
rnent' and everyone connected with
1.-THE franchise corporations of our
cities" The Commoner goes on to
declare that no one who is connected
with the railroads so as to make him
biased in their favor should be men,
Ter OF the Democratic party organiZa-
| ton. In fact, this sweeping edict of
accommodation which Mr.. Bryan is
sues includes about every citizen who
Owns property, or does business, or
possesses ambition or brains.
1t would not only bar out Of the
Democracy the million men employed
by the railroads of the country, but al
so the 100000 holders of insurance
policies in the United States and the
100000 depositors in the savings
banks of the country. II is true that
most of these men who work for the
railroads or who have saving bank de-
posits or investment of any kind have
already by their ballots shown their
bias" against Mr.. Bryan and his
policies, and according to his latest
definition there is no room for any of
them in the new Democracy. These
lpeople are all shareholders of corpora
ttions created by the state and national
governments and are all directly and
lvitally concerned in matters of iegisla-
ton. OF course, an overwhelming
percentage of the business of the
country is done through corporations
legitimate business. an necessary to the
welfare and progress of the country as
food and drink are to the life of an
individual. Mr.. Bryan plainly wants
his party to be smaller than it is now,
smaller and not at all select 1t would
include no business man. no man who
home of his own. The Republicans
will offer no objection to the continued
activity of Mr.. Bryan along this line
