A Pointer on BRYAN.

There has been much speculation
lately as to the status William Jen-
nings Bryan will occupy on his re
turn from touring the world. That
he is going TO loom larger before
the country than ever since 1896,
and that he will stand on a securer
basis of public confidence, is sug-
gested, possibly, by recent happen
ings in Omaha.
The first returns from the polls,
indicating how strong Mr.. Bryan
has grown, have just arrived from
his home State. The municipal
election was held In Omaha yester-
day. The Democratic candidate for
mayor was James c. Dahlman, who
shone by the reflected glory of Mr..
Bryan. He used to be campaign
manager for the Lincoln man, and
his strongest sentimental claim was
based on the fact that he was in a
fashion the representative of
Bryan. Incidentally, he was run
ming on platform that promised
regulation of municipal corpora
tions. and ownership of public utiI-
ity plants whenever 1t should be
possible.
Mr.. Dahlman, then, represented
some Democratic ideas and, by
proxy, the personality of the Dem
ocratic leader Omaha is a Repub-
ican city; it has had a Republican
mayor term after term for years,
and il has Republican Congress-
man. Roosevelt carried it so over
whelmingly that it almost wiped
the Democracy off the map for the
time being. The Republicans were
confident of winning III the election

BUENOS AYRES. May "A Paris
dispatch announces the death of Carlos

Calvo maintained as a principle of in

of enabling private persons or corpora

This idea he enunciated twenty-five
years ago. and it is 10 form one Of the
principal topics OF discussion at the COM

and. after a brilliant career there. he
was sent as special envoy TO London and
Paris.
In 1885 he became Argentine minister
in Berlin and was later transferred to
Paris. He had made the most complete
collection eXtant Of treaties and diplo-
matte conventions of South American
countries and had written many stand

in williamstown, w Va, to Casey, H.,
f X. Headly. a wealthy oil man. was
struck in the head by stray bullet and
seriously injured.

done the shooting. He claims that he
had taken aim at a dog, and that the
bullet struck the ground, glanced, and
then entered the coach.
The Washington times., 1906-05-03
A Proper Beginning.

The most impressive feature OF
the extraordinary showing as to the
local police force made in these col
umns yesterday was this:
That the number of patrolmen
available for day duty on beats in
the whole District of Columbia is
only about half the number on post
assignments and special details.
The day patrol force is ninety
two.
Tie special assignment force is
175.
In other words the assignments
to hotels, railway stations, bridges,
tunnels. patrol wagons, hospitals,
the House of Detention, the HUI
name Society, the inspector of med
icine, pharmacy and dentistry, the
inspectors of licenses, the pound
service and various clerical posi-
tions, requires and consumes the
time of practically twice as many
men as are available for the day
protection of life and property on
our streets and along our country
roads.
What Commissioner West and
Superintendent Sylvester propose to
do in this connection will meet, ac-
cordingly, with the approval of the
entire community. They are now
arranging to reduce the post as
signments wherever they can with
out change of law and transfer the
men so released to patrol duty. This
should have been done long ago.
Yet the results will not go far to-
ward fitting the Capitals police pro-
lection to its needs. At the most
only about a dozen men can be
spared from present post assign
ments, those details having been
made either out of recognition of
undoubted need-as at the Long
Bridge where repeated rObberies
proved the need-or in obedience TO
the law-as in the detail of detec-
tives to the two railway stations.
OF those twelve men eight will go
on night patrol, and four on day
patrol, thereby increasing the day
force t. ninety-seven priyates and
the night force 10 19s.
From which the present need for
action by Congress will be, or ought
TO be, clear beyond any doubling.
The special details which make up
the present allotment of 175 men
should be reduced to the lowest
practical limit of actual police duty.
That is to say clerks should be pro
vided as clerks, photographers as
photographers. assistants to Dis
trict officials as such, drivers for
patrol wagons as drivers, and so
on down to the rigid limit of PO-
licemen detailed for duty which is
essentially that of policemen. The
force should be enlarged far enough
TO protect our women and girls on
the highways. Finally there should
be such an adjustment of the sever
al police forces as now exist-the
force of park watchmen and the
force of departmental watchmen
chiehy-as will eliminate the con
fusion which prevails at present and
obtain for the Capital the greatest
amount of security which the aggre-
gate sum expended ought to obtain
