A Leaky MagaZine,

The leak through which a synopsis of
the Presidents Memorial day speech at
Indianapolis reached Wall street yesterday
is attributed to magazine controlled by
one of the intimate friends of the President
But there is not the least suggestion that
the editor of the magazine in question was
In any manner or degree responsible for the
unfortunate seeping of information through
the editorial walls. Nevertheless, the Incl
dent should serve to demonstrate that the
newspapers are the safest mediums of
communication with the public on matters
of immediate news Importance, and that
when the system of advance copies is
extended to include the monthly periodical
press the safeguards against premature
publication, which have been strengthened
until they are now practically inviolate, are
seriously weakened. Possibly this episode
which has done no serious harm save to
the peace of mind of few individuals will
serve good purpose by keeping the cur
rent of advance copies within legitimate
channels hereafter.

The Presidency and the Future.

In some of the presidential speculation
of the day 1912 is referred to as a sort
of independent proposition. 1t is said
of this democrat or of that republican
that if he misses the nomination next
year he may hope for better luck four
years later. Such talk dsregards some
very plain facts.
On the democratic side Mr.. Bryan has
the call. and if he Is nominated and
elected next year what will be more GER
tain If he lives than his denomination in
1912? He will even then be a young
man for the presidency. 1t is true that
in 1896 he spoke in favor of a single
term for an occupant of the White House,
but that was in the first flush of his
leadership. He knows the game better
today, and figuring, as lie now is on
his third nomination he would be an easy
mark for the temptation of second
term. Mr.. Cleveland knows how that is.
So that Bryan success next year would
mean no thoroughfare for other demo-
Gratis until 1916
Young men are in the forefront on the
republican side also. Judge Taft, Mr..
Fairbanks, and Gov. Hughes have years
before them in the ordinary run of
things. The nomination and election of
one of them next year would probably
mean a second term for him. He would
find four years too short for his purposes,
and if he impressed the country favorably
would be the very best asset of his
party. He and his party both would
want to hold on to power, and that fact
alone would bring about his renomina-
ton.
In the one party as in the other there
fore 1912 is risky calculation. 1t de-
ponds on which side wins the next cleo
ton. If Mr. Bryan is nominated and
again defeated. the democracy must have
new leader. Remarkable as his hold
has been on the party. it is not con-
ceivable that it would stand another
defeat. His permanent retirement would
follow. and the way be cleared for an
other man four years later. Equally true
too would the nomination and defeat of
one Of the republicans named mean his dis
placement from his party's presidential
equation.
The certainty seems to be that young
man of vigor. capacity. and ambition en-
tering the White House always wants
and strives for second term, and if
he is a good performer in office stands
an excellent chance of getting it. He
makes a record which his party needs
in It's appeal for votes. and of course
made in his name The cases of 1900 and
1904 are great hearteners for politicians
with their eyes fixed on the White House.
Parties are not ungrateful to men who
serve we'll there. They cannot afford to be.

tween the local democracy and his chief.
while the latter was in the White House
He was an ideal negotiator-shrewd, kindly.
secretive and loyal. But shopping in New
York from that day took on new meaning.
The members of the cabinet would Wao
well to take these little things into consid-
Grafton at the present time. They are doing
to know why. If an explanation is not
forthcoming. one is invented. Judge Taft
is supposed to be booming himself for the
presidency wherever he goes. If Mr.. Bona
parte appears in Baltimore he is accused
of politics. II Mr.. Cortelyou appears in
New York it is with instructions of some
kind from the President bearing on the
third term proposition. or for securing the
states delegation for the man of the Presi-
dents choice. Mr.. Garfield is going west,
and he Is told that his object is to quiet
discomfort with the administration out that
way.
There are excellent chances for adding to
the popular phrases of our politics and to
the gayety of the nation. What have these
men to say about their movements? They
need not take the country into their con-
fidence. nor yet try to wrap themselves in
mystery. But bit of chaff. well chosen
and well delivered, would contribute to the
public entertainment. and maybe ciinch
the matter of their own fame. A good
phrase, neatly minted. Is worth its weight
in gold in the currency of our political life.

An Alley Crusade.

Commissioner Vests orders to the super
intendent Of street cleaning to start cam
paign for clean alleys during the summer
season are calculated to work for the
good OF the public health. The alleys
of Washington are not kept up to the high
standard that the citizens have a right to
expect Many of them are mere dumping
places for refuse Of all sorts. Some of
them so rarely visited by the cleaners
that they remain for weeks at time in a
foul. fostering state. breeding disease.
Those which run east and west through
closely built blocks are never touched by
the sun save az the extreme ends, and in
consequence they remain damp and Ill
smelling throughout the year, save In the
times of prolonged drought and extreme
heat These byways should be even more
scrupulously attended to than the outer
passages Of the city. for they are by their
very nature likely to become fouIed by all
manner of trash.
Much OF the responsibility for keeping the
