Bradley Children Absent
From Trial IN Difference
To Their Mothers Washes

Contrary to reports which were sent
broadcast over the country before the
Bradley trial opened, the two little sons
Of Mrs. Bradley have not once appear
ed in the courtroom. The little fello Us
have been TO the City Hall many times
during the trial. but always In the room
downstairs IN the cell corridor, where
their mother has spent the time she was
not in the courtroom.
When the youngsters arrived in Wash
ington there were many reports that
the attorneys for Mrs. Bradley would
use them as a means of arousing the
sympathy Of the jury, and have them
sit beside Mrs. Bradley that ths twelve
men in whose hands her fate would lie
might see for themselves the living
proofs OF Arthur Browns perhdy.

Keeping Order In the Schools.

Two conclusions advanced in The

schools of the Chamber of Com

part of Congress to make its com

President Oyster, for the school
trustees, took occasion several days
ago formally to certify to the 10y

corps Of teachers and supervisors in

Wanted: Action, Not Talk.


President Roosevelt, William Jen-
nings Bryan, and ]. Pierpont Nor
gan have all aired their currency
views at the White House. 1t is de-
clared on excellent authority that
the three men were not really very
much in disagreement as TO what
the country needs at this moment.
It would be well for Congress to
note, thoughtfully and prayerfully,
this interesting phenomenon When
the President, Mr.. Bryan, and Mr..
Morgan can get together about es-
sentials, Congress might as well
understand that it will be given
small consideration if it delays &C
complishment in order TO talk. Con-
gress loves to talk, and the country
really doesn't mind, ordinarily. 1t
pleases Congress, and, as the news
papers suppress most Of what IL
said, nobody suffers severely. But
this isn't the time for a talldest.
This is the time to do business, and
If Congress doesn't do it, so much
the worse for Congress.
The statesmen who are coming to
town by every train are too much
in the way of shaking tneir heads
solemnly, and gravely doubling
whether agreement is possible on
any financial plan. In fast, they
strongly incline to question whether
there is actual need for any finan-
cial legislation.
Gentlemen who have been able in
the past TO palm of this sort Of
combined ignorance and incompe-
tency, under a label which brands
the mixture as wise conservatism,
viii do well to note that the coun-
try wants results at this time, and
wants them right away. 1t doesn't
want buncombe speeches or par
tisan recrimination. 1t is not going
to submit cheerfully to any nom
sense. 1t viii not excuse a program
of endless talk about currency in
order to gtave of other questions.
1t wants Nction, and the statesman
who is canny VIII suspend for this
day and date his treasured privilege
of endless-and Manifestations

country wants a law, not debate.

They're mighty slow there about things but
they swift enough to have decided that public utility

for its rapacious stockholders.
The reason gas costs about half as much in England as
in Washington is that English gas company is not al
