the danger is not merely an imaginary
one. He knows why the Hearst news
papers so scrupulously refrain from
promoting the Bryan tradition-why
every Hearst hired man is sneering as
if an Old-fashioned gold bug at a third
candidacy. He knows that Hearst
bolted Mcclellan, that he bolted in
California, that he would have bolted
in New York and Massachusetts last
year if the party had not succumbed.
He knows that this year in Chicago
poor eX-MayOr Dunno was hugged to
death, and that in many states the
business of building of building UP
hostile political organization goes
steadily on. If the Roosevelt and
anti-RooseVelt feeling in the Republi-
can party is a cleavage the division in
the Democratic party is chasm.
Mr.. Bryan is anxious to run again
for the presidency. This much is GER
tain. But not to run again and be de-
feated. The hope that he could con-
ciliate Hearst has died out, for
Hearst's only notion of compromise is
the nomination of Hearst. So the un-
fortunate man of Nebraska out of one
political mire only to stumble into an
other, has come on to see if there is
not some way to suppress Hearst or at
least fence him in below the Harlem.

THE GREED OF THE SOUTHERN
RAILROAD.

(The Vidalia Advance }

This paper has tried to be just on
railroads, but this recent act of the
old greedy Southern Railway refus-
ing track rights to Atlanta takes
all the charity out of our soul for
them. Let the people of Georgia rise
up and burst the combination which
the Southern holds. We can and must
do it.
Here is large population of people
along the Seaboard and M. D. & S.
Railways that need a through freight
and passenger connection to Atlanta.
They have a right to demand it.
From conversation with an official
Of the Seaboard a few days ago, the
editor OF this paper learns that the
Seaboard realizes that the public de-
mands through train and that they
must furnish it. We also learned that
the Southern demanded such a tre-
mendous price for trackage rights
from Macon to Atlanta that the Sea-
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-13

board could not afford to pay it. The
reason is easily seen for such actions
upon the part of the Southern. They
own the Central Railway and they do
not want shorter route to the sea
to operate.
Will the Seaboard be thus bluffed?
Will the public stand such? Will the
Georgia legislature and Governor-elect
Hoke Smith stand such monopoly in
fair Georgia? We hardly believe it.
Let the Seaboard build from Macon
to Atlanta. Let the legislature burst
that SouthernCentral combine. Then
and not till then will the people of
Georgia get any relief.

Our humble and unimportant opin-

not quite ready for a monarchy yet,
and that neither those living nor their

13 BANKERS IN ONE JAIL.

Thirteen rich ex-bankers locked up
in Jail. Such is the spectacle pre-
sented at Leavenworth, Kan, where
the United States penitentiary draws
interesting recruits from various COM
monWealths. The high fnanciers con-
spicuous on the Leavenworth rolls,
dressed in the prison gray, wearing
each his penitentiary number and get
ting no privileges for his accomplish
ments in money matters, are these:
John P. Cooper, McGregor, Tex, who
loaned the First National Banks
money over the limit to cotton spec
lators.
Justus L. Broderick, Wilson G. Col
Inns, Walter Brown, former president,
cashier and director of the First Ma
tional Bank, Elkhart, Ind.
Alfred G.. Parker, ex-cashier First
National Bank, Bedford, Ind.
Cyrus E. McCrady, ex-cashier First
National Bank, Seymour, Ind. An ex-
ceIlent man at the Bertillon measure

Robert B. Taylor, banker-forger,
from Missouri, transferred from JEFF
ferson City.
James H. Wood, another former
cashier from Indiana
Frank G. Bigelow. former president
of First National Bank of Milwaukee,
who used 100000 not exactly his
own.
Henry G.. Coll, ex-cashier of said
Bigelow's bank, will be released in
1913, a year after his superior.
George A. Conzman, president Vigo
County, Ind, National Bank, who vio-
lated the banking laws.
Hermann Haass, transferred from
Joliet, ILL.,, Chicago banker who led
the detectives chase to South Africa.
Francis B. Wright, former national
banker in Kane county, Ill.
These financiers are employed in va
rious clerkships about the peniten-
tiary. Their sole distinction in pris-
on treatment lies in their being so
placed in the dining-room that pris-
oners from the shops shall not rub
against them, imparting such CRIME of
toll as might afterward be transferred
to the prison books the bankers keep.

BRYAN TO TRY AGAIN,
(NeW York Globe.)

\ANSW IOIh GlOUG.J
William Jennings Bryan spent a
quiet Sunday in Richmond All he did
was to make a couple of speeches, give
the glad hand and flash the expansive
smile to all who called, and as a topoff
dictate an interview in which he said
ne would probably again be a presi-
Dental candidate. Mr. Bryan's unus-
ual inactivity was because he was rest
ing in order to be physically fit when
he invades New York again this week.
He has an engagement to appear at
Albany, and while there will make
an address if his well-known aversion
to talking is overcome by sufficient
urging
Mr.. Bryan has not had an opportu-
nifty to tickle New York ears since
his friends engaged Madison Square
Garden in order that he might tell the
listening universe that there should be
federal ownership of trunk railways
and state ownership of branches.
There had been the most careful prep
aration and rehearsal. He had calmed
the turbulent waves on his way across
the sea by reciting his periods. Yet
the event was disappointing. Things
happened and didn't happen that were
disquieting. In the first place, instead
Of roaring applause there was, if not
frost, at least a chill. Not many
voices became hoarse that night from
cheering. In the second and more i'm

Hearst was present, and the Bryan
bodyguard was incensed by what they
identified as a clear attempt to steal
the meeting. Taken all in all. it was
a most heartbreaking affair. No won
der the Peerless One has wanted to
come back. No wonder he was fur
ther alarmed last fall when he waited
and waited in vain for the expected
message requesting him to take part
in the New York campaign.
Mr.. Bryan has made little conceal
ment of his deep distrust of the Hearst
goings on. He has arrived to put
quietus to them if he can. With his
approval an organization has been Gre
ated whose object is to counterpoise
the privately owned independence
League. Which is Hearst-ally or en-
envy? 1t is time for smoke-out So
it is not difficult to see that the olive
branch, stripped of it's twigs and
leaves, can be used as a club. The
national campaign is but few months
ahead. Is Hearst to be in the ranks
or out Of them? Does he purpose to
attempt to work the same game at
the national Democratic convention
that he successfully worked at the
Buffalo convention? Is he coming for
ward with the ultimatum: Nominate
me or face a split?
Thoughts of these things are taking
the few remaining hairs from the Bry-
an head. OF what profit is it to at
tempt to make merry over Republican
family jars when there is sound of
breaking crockery in your own house
hold? Professional party optimist
though he is, Mr.. Bryan knows that

"ROOSEVELT FOR LIFE"
The Interesting Heading in an Agri-
cultural Paper.
(New York Journal.)

Dakota, prints on the front page a
picture of President Roosevelt, and
with the picture an article advocating
the election of Mr.. Roosevelt to the
presidency for life.
The editor of Browns Farmer asks:
why not call a special session of
congress and amend the constitution
to permit of the election of a presi-
dent for life?'
The editor goes on to say: Gould
We do better than install Theodore
Roosevelt in the presidency for life?
He is without peer for ability, with
out a superior for knowledge, and
patriot in every thought and aspira.
ton. Under his wise, permanent adj
ministration the country would settle
down to a career of steady prosper
ity."
This interesting suggestion will not
surprise those that have studied the
history of republics in the past. 1t
need not surprise those that know
something about human nature and it's
tendency to abandon an effort.
The man who takes a good resolu-
ton nine times out of ten gets pretty
tired of it after a while.
The people that undertake self con-
troll and self government, as history
teaches us, are very apt to get tired
of it after a while. The average man
who starts out in business for him
self drifts back into clerkship soon
er or later. Some people in America
got tired long ago of the effort of self
government. To begin with, those
that brought about the revolution and
freed the country from the control of
the English king, were attacked and
hated by all the sO-called aristocrats
and respectable people of the day.
All the "old families of that time,
the rich men with few exceptions,
were in favor of English rule and de-
spised the idea of republic.
In our day many men-the most
prosperous principally-are tired Of
the idea of self government. A good,
strong king would suit them better.
Time will tell what kind of a race of
men this nation, with it's mixture of
nationalities, has produced. Time will
tell whether or not this country is to
go back to the monarchial form of
government, and leave some better,
abler race to solve the problems of
republican government and develop
nation Of men capable Of governing
themselves instead of living like chill
dren under the government Of one
man.
We are not at present questioning
Mr.. Roosevelt's fitness to be president
for life, or what would be the same
thing, the first king of the United
States. Nor do We question the fitness
of his sons, carefully educated by him,
as rulers in this country. We do not
question the judgment of those who
declare that Mr.. Roosevelt IL the only
one among eighty millions capable
of filling the office of president salts
factorily.
The question that interests us is not
one concerning Mr.. Roosevelt himself,
but one concerning the American peo-
pie.
Are they going to drift gradually
away from the old standard and give
up the effort of the last hundred years?
