Behr and Wright Win Doubics "
 Tennis In London.
 LONDON, July 16.-Karl H. Behr and Beals c. Wright. Americans, won great victory over Norman O. Brookes, Australian. and A. F. Wild ing. New Zsalander. at Wimbledon in the mems doubles for the Dwight q. Davis international lawn tennis cup.
 The first set was won by Brooke1 and Wilding by 6-S.
 The second set was won by Wright. and Behr by 12-l0
 Brookes and wIlding won .he third set by GA.
 Wright and Behr won the fourth set by 6-2. wright's lobbing was splen- did In this set Behr played very clev- erly at the net.
 Wright and Behr won the fifth set by 6-2
 The victory of the Americans in the doubles comes as surprise to follow~ CTS of tennis in this country. Until this spring Wright and Behr had neve1 played together. and in their matches during the preliminary practice In this country and also In England they faik cd to demonstrate that they made strong combination in the doubles They were defeated by Brookes and wilding in straight sets in the all England tournament. and for that req son the Australians were strong favor ties in London for the match, which, had they won. would have given them the right to challenge for the Dwight Davis trophy. now held by the English.
 As a result of the victory of the American team the final fight for the right to challenge for the international trophy will be continued in singles fo- day. To secure the privilege of chai- leng.ng the cup holders the Americana must win both matches. whereas the Australians need but ore more victory to complete the contest
 In all probability Karl H. Bchr will open the struggle by playing \. C. Brookes.

Much as we would have liked to

his previous statements upon the

While the people were doing the

courts of the land come nobly to
their assistance, granting appeals,
sustaining demurrers, granting in

legal subterfuges are made to come
to their aid and stave off indefinite.

part of the judiciary to give the
alleged malefactors all possible
latitude and withhold the restraint

Society's Resporsis lify For Crime.

There is no such thing Al n
criminal cIuss. Any statement
with reference to the s"-cal!ed
criminal class makes the prosper
ous feel entirely too comfortable,
sitting at the club with their after
dinner cigars. 1t removes the
feeling of responsibility from that
section of society where it proper
" belongs, and places it on here
dity and circumstances over which
we. have no control. In Il large
proportion of cases the criminal is
society, and not tho poor fellow
who has gone wrong from lack of
work, poverty and the corollaries
of poverty, strangeness to the
customs and language Of the coun-
try, or the sudden flash of passion
common to all Of as. Economic
pressure and social maladjustment,
we'll within the scope of our power
to remedy, will explain very much
of the crime and the making of
very many of our criminals. And
a great evil in our greatest social
system is that it to often makes a
criminal of the first offeDder-the
citizen who has slipped over into
wrongdoing once. 1t makes him
hardened instead of dealing with
him as a human 5eing.-Deputy

Those critics Of President Roose

Those critics Of President Roose-
welt who are placing on him there
sponsibility of the present financial
troubles, that his legal harrassment
of the monopolistic corporations is
the cause that has brought this
condition about, are in many in
stances Democrats and supporters
of Mr.. Bryan. In offering this
accusation, they lose sight of their
oft.repeated claim, that these very
policies with which they charge
the President has wrought an un-
fortunate condition upon the coun-
try, were taken from the Demo-
cratic platform of 1904. Mr..
Bryan has said this himself. The
latter, while holding this alleged
resort to Democratic policies by the
President to be commendable in
him, blames him also for not going
farther in pursuing the trusts.
Therefore, we take it that should
Mr.. Bryan succeed Mr.. Roosevelt
and put his still more radical poll
cies into effect, nothing less than a
financial and industrial cataclysm
would happen. If the application
of a little of Bryan's "policies" by
Republican should have so onto
ward an effect, what would
become of US if Bryan and the
Democrats should go the whole
course? It would be terrible in.

that in deDouncing the President
for having wrought the present

Democrats are also condemnine

of the whole amount, and turning
the residue into the general cam
ra;gn till OF the party. The oppo-
site view was urged by Congress
man John Sharp Williams of Mis-
sissippi, Gov. H"ke Smith of Geor-
gia and Congressman Clayton of
Alabama, who argued that the
committee had condemned such
campaign contributions. But Mr..
Taggart said all the money was
needed, which settled the matter,
now, as heretofore. The practi
cal opportunity to add to the war
chest was not to be resisted, even
though the committee has recently
been especially severe, theoretical
iy, about campaign money from
interested sources. Denver Demo
Gratis were willing to pay bonus
for the convention. 1t was raked
in, with no question asked about
the individual or corporate donors.
Just the same the Democratic
platform will contain a resounding
flank favoring thoroughly puri.
fed campaign fund, and Mr. Bry-
an will continue to warble melifiu-
ously in the same strain. When il
comes to the point the practical
managers like Taggart, Stone and
johnson will rake in everything
that isn't red hot or nailed down.
1t is an interesting fact that the
plea for consistant conduct came
from Southern members of the
committee. At best. Denver is a
peculiar choice as the place to
hold national convention of the
party whose electoral votes come
almost exclusively from the South.
In 1896 the South expected to
win by the coalition with the free
silver element of the west and the
Pacific states. No such hope ex-
lists now. In his second race Bry-
au carried but four little Northern
states. Even these have since gone
Republican. Southern restiveness
is likely to increase. As for ques-
tionabIe campaign contributions,
the Democratic National Commit
tee fell at the first tire.-G!obe
