The neck-and-neCk race for the chafh-
pionshlp in the American League Is still
being run. Not one OF the four first-di-
vision teams is distanced by any means
each having a fighting chance to land
the coveted pennant. But the Athletics,
who have been leading by nose. a posi-
tion they soon claimed after departing on
the present western trip. must now give
way TO Chicago for one day at least. This
race for Championship honors IS surely for
the strong. and Chicago and Cleveland have
been growing stronge- and stronger since
they left the east and enjoyed the privilege
OF playing on their own farms. Cleveland
Is now presenting nearly her normal
strength. Bay being the only regular MEM
ber of the team that has not resumed his
position. while LajOie'S pitchers are also
doing better work. Chicago has Tannehill
at third again. The presence of this great
fielder has greatly strengthened the cham
pions in a position they have been weak
all the year, and not only braced up the
infield. but added renewed confidence to
the pitchers who have been doing indiffer
ent week for the past month. The cham
pions are only waiting for White. Altrock
and Owen to strike their natural stride, and
they think they can win another American
League championship.

WHAT is A DEMOcRAT7

A good deal of discussion is going on
Just now as to What is a Democrat. "
Mr.. Bryan and others have given their
views. None seem to be correct. To us
the real Democrat is one who was howl
ing and blatant for party organization
and party regularity up to 1896, and who
was ready to hang a renegade or fence
jumper, but who so soon as the Nation
al convention nominated Mr.. Bryan and
adopted silver platform bolted both.
deserted to the enemy, worked and vo-
ted for Mckinley, tried to get hold of
the Republican reins, were repudiated
there, and who have been sailing around
ever since with no place to light, but
imagine they can again come back to
the Democratic party, dictate its policy,
name its candidate, and rule its roost.
Any one whom this shoe fits is a "Real
Democrat" All others are spurious.
Some people would call these real Dem
ocrats wolves in sleeps clothing, but
by any other name they smell as ma
lodorous. -Staunton Spectator.
Inc Spectator is an ardent follower
of Mr.. Bryan, and has no mercy on
those who call themselves Democrats
and refuse to subscribe to the wild theo-
ries of the Nebraskan. But the Specta-
tor gives another interesting if not ac-
curate answer to the question, "What
is a Democrat. Of course the def
milton of Democrat given by our Staun-
ton contemporary is derisive, a scornful
fling at those men of the party who have
been and are now antagonizing Mr..
Bryan. This answer, however, of the
Spectator will serve to show how i'm
possible it is for those who call them
selves Democrats to agree upon an in
teilgent answer to the great question
of questions, the paramount issue that
is now absorbing the attention of Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Bryan could make it very
interesting, no doubt, to his followers
and the public generally, if he should
decide to make what is a Democrat
the paramount issue in 1908. ~

The College Graduate and Business.
Washington Herald.)

Along the business path which the
graduates from our universities are
choosing lies the road 60 wealth, but
not, necessarily, to honor. We respect,
sometimes, our millionaires, but we sell
dom honor them. Honor and its eoncom-
itants are usually reserved for others
for the physicians who puts his talents
at the disposal of his fellowmen, some
times for money reward, but seldom
for such rewards as come to the man of
business working for his own hand. In
the law and the church are honor to be
found, too, and the highest conception
OF either of these professions minimize
their money-making qualities.
1t may be, however, that the advent
of the university and college man into
business will prove the one thing needed
to place business on higher and nobler
plane. Ethics forms part of the curri-
cula of our colleges, and with the growth
of the cooperative idea, schemes of prof-
lt-sharing, and theories of Justice to the
worklngman, 1t may well be that The
rise of body of well-educated business
men shall do much toward softeninp the
dlftlculties between the small army of
officers of industry and the great mass
of workers in the ranks.

The Press and the Bench.
Clifton Forge ReviewO


The supreme court of Virginia has de-
cided that an editor of newspaper is
not IN contempt who criticises a Judge
OF any court when his court is not in ses-
slon- This decision was the result of an
appeal from Judge Christian, of Lynch
burg, who had fined man by the name
OF roder $50 and sentenced him to Jail
for fifteen days because the said Yoder
had criticised the judge aforesaid in his
paper then issued in the Hill Citv. No
newspaper cares to engage in a war of
words with any judge, and one of the
best ways to avoid it is for the judge to
so conduct himself as to be above criti-
clsm. We do not mean criticisms of de-
cisions, as these will continue until the
end of time, but let the Judge be a man
OF pure character and one who will not
wink at questionable methods for his
own personal advancement. The Lynch
burg judge had been criticised because
OF granting four saloon licenses in
Lynchburg on one particular corner of
Nam street and it was limited the Judge
had a personal interest in some of the
property. When the case came I'D this
year another judge was called to sit in
the case, and notwithstanding his friend
hness to the liquor interests. ne declined
to issue but two licenses where four had
been granted for many years past. So
after all the turning on of the light has
good effects, judges have been told
how far they can go and so have the
newspapers. We hope in the future
that all of US will be so good as to avoid
recurrence of such unpleasantness.

Forty Years a Recluse.
milwaukee Sentinel.)


An unique character passed through
Milwaukee today.
To the world in which he has been n
recluse for forty years he is known as
Brother Andrew. To the world in which
he lived before he entered the Trappist
monastery a generation ago he is known
as Henry Gillespie.
Brother Andrew was on his wav from
Chicago to Tomah, Wis, to visit a sis
ter. For the last forty years he has
been in unbroken seclusion within the
walls of the Trappist monastery at
Dubuque. Iowa. This monastery is one
OF two such institutions in the country.
Because of the illness and death of a
sister in Chicago, Brother Andrew got
leave of absence of five days to at
tend the funeral and visit relatives.
Upon his entrance once more to the
outside world he put off the garb of the
monk and donned the same broadcloth
suit in which he applied to the monas-
terry for admission. 1t was this suit
which he had on while on his way from
Chicago to Tomah.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

The Richmond News Leader says: "A
great many persons after reading Mr..
Bryan's three-column definition of what
IS Democrat, will be no wiser than
they were before"
Some Eastern newspaper remarked
that if Mr.. Bryan had published his pic
ture instead of that three-column arti-
Gle the picture would have been a more
reasonable answer to what is a Dem
ocrat than the article. This struck the
fancy of the Richmond Evening Journal,
so sharply that it Immediately declared
that Mr.. Bryan was 'It." Can it be
possible that this is to be the solution of
the vexed problem, ''what is a Demo
craft"
If our Democratic friends will permit
US to help them solve this almost unan.
swerable question, we believe we can
help. What do you think of chameleon?
The chameleon is small lizard-like rep
tile, and the following is a part of the
definition given in Webster's Dictionary,
ofthe little lizard:
Its color changes more or less with
the color of the objects about it, or
with its temper when disturbed. In a
cool, dark place it is nearly white, or
on admitting the light, it
changes to brown, bottle green, or
blood-red, of various shades and more
or less notified in arrangement.
With the growing predisposition of
the Democratic party to change its
principles in every national campaign,
we would like to know if any word or
words will so correctly define, "What is |
A Democrat" as the one word chame-
ion.

tutional convention and turned loose to
do their evil work without being re-
quired to take an oath 70 perform their
duties honestly.
But the Constitutional Convention
did not rest satisfied after inventing
and constructing the deadly guilotine,
the understanding clause" for the de-
struction of Virginia's electorate. 1t
proceeded to build another device.
much deadlier than the first instrument.
the poll tax qualification for voting.
The understanding clause" slew its
thousands, but the poll tax prerequi-
site has been staying its tens of thou
sands. These are the things that have
brought shame upon the electors of
Richmond and upon the people in every
city and county in Virginia. They have
deprived about two out of three of the
white men of voting age in the city of
Richmond of the right of suffrage, and
have done likewise, proportionately, in
every community of the State. Large
numbers of men who are qualified to
vote stay away from the polls and show
no interest in elections, because they
are disguised with the ubiquitous regis
tration and suffrage laws and the way
they are administered. If our Rich
mond contemporary is really anxious to
free its its city from the shame that
rests upon it, we invoke it to help de-
stroy the sources from which the shame
is flowing.

The uuId Nuncs Of Today.
(Washinptnn Herald l

The current talk about the necessity
OF licking Japan" is about on a par
with that heard all over Europe at the
conclusion of the war with Spain as to
the dangerous role the quid nuncs of
that day were sure would be PLAYED
by the United States as world power.
We were held up by the sensational
press of Europe as a menace to the
worlds peace, just as Japan is now, and
there was the same foolish apprehen-
sion that, inflated by our naval and mil
ltary powers, we would start up to clean
up the universe, as is now expressed by
those who profess to see an all-conquer-
ing nation in the Japanese. The one
thing is as absurd as the other. Moth
ing has been more obvious in the recent
foreign policy of Japan than the desire
of her statesman to minimize the posi-
sibility of war in any quarter. To this
end she has negotiated treaties with
England, France and Russia, the pur-
pose of which is the maintenance of the
status quo in the Far East. But for our
traditional policy of avoiding entangling
alliances, there is no question that we
could be party to a treaty binding Japan
to keep her hands off the Philippines. Is
there any reason to suppose that, while
engaging to keep peace with the rest of
the world, Japan is reserving special
ground of quarrel with the United
States?

A Lesson in Temperance.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.|

NnlC1InOnO IlmeS-DlSpatch.)
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
murder trial at Houston has already de-
veloped terrible temperance lesson for
men and more terrible lesson for wo-
men. Whiskey seems to have played a
double part, if not a triple part, in this
distressing tragedy. Had young Estes
been a total abstainer there had been no
tragedy; if Miss Loving had not taken
drink with Estes there had been no
trag edy; and the probability is that had
Judge Loving never been addicted to
strong drink Theodore Estes would at
least have been given a chance for his
life.
The Times-Dispatch is no fanatic on
the subject of temperance. 1t does not
believe that whiskey is the product of
HE'LL but there is no doubt that it is of
ten used by the devil as a means of dew
iltry. 1t has been the curse of MANY a
man; it has brought many a woman to
disgrace and ruin. Some men can and
do drink moderately, without apparent
injury to body, mind or morals. 1t is
nonsense to say that every man who
takes toddy is on the road to destruc-
ton; but it is not an exaggeration to
make that affirmation of a woman who
falls into the habit of drinking toddies
with men.
