Bryan, Not Carmsck.

We observe with interest the recent
fulflment of a prediction made through
the medium Of these columns about two
months ago to the effect that ex-senator
CARMACK Of Tennessee would soon re-
enter public life as an aspirant to official
place and ~perquisite. The forecast al
luded to ventured somewhat into detail
and cast Mr.. CARMACK in the role of con-
testant for ths G~overnorship Of the
State, or rather for the Democratic nom
nation. And now we hear that the bat
tie has been actually joined.
Mr.. CARMACK must feel very sure of
his strength when he invites a conflict
90 desperate and hazardous as this. IL
il o only that he returns to an arena
in which the vestiges of his defeat are
still visible; he has the courage to chal-
lenge the unwritten law of Tennessee
politics, which provides that Demo-
cratic Governors, unless some very
grave default can be fixed upon them,
shall have a second term without oppo-
sition inside the party. Evidently he
has received very substantial assurances
to enter upon such an undertaking. The
Hon. MALCOLM r. PATTERSON was elected
by a handsome majority. He is ex-
tremely popular throughout the State
and he has made an excellent Executive.
II would be most interesting TO know
why Mr.. CARMACK now expects to capture
by assault a position he was unable to
hold when he occupied the fortress and
commanded the garrison.
Meanwhile, and this is the only i'm
portant feature of the case, the struggle
will perhaps develop the extent Of the
Bryan influence in Tennessee. 1t was
freely limited in Democratic circles last
June that the Nebraska Prophet did not
altogether relish the adjustment in that
State, and various veteran wiseacres,
rising on "A wing Of prophecy. presented
daily horoscopes forcshadowing an
early IN To the faithful. Only
the real Mahatmas Of the party then
imagined that Mr.. CARMACK could by
any irony Of circumstance become the

The Peace Conference Drawing to a
Close.


There are signs of profound discour-
agement with regard to the outcome Of
the present conference at The Hague.
M. BOURGEOIS has announced that he
must return to France not later than
August 20, and VI. BEERNAERT. the head
of the Belgian delegation, has departed
from The Hague, though he will doubt
less return before the conference ad-
journs in order to speak and vote in the
plenary session. He has been n Of the
sturdiest opponents Of the permanent
court OF arbitration urged by Mr.. CHoATE,
and according to report is confident that
the defeat of the proposal is assured,
although the British delegates, at first
lukewarm and critical, seem since to have
received instructions to support it a
nestly. II is admitted that the resolu-
lions favoring a reduction OF ornaments
will be framed so circumspectly as to
amoun simply to the expression Of a
'pious wish, and in that guise may receive
the perfunctory assent of all the Powers
represented.
II il true that some ameliorations OF
the usages Of land warfare have been
recommended unanimously by the COM
mittee entrusted with the least contro-
versial matters. These include an agree
ment o TO expel. except in cases OF
military necessity, civilian subjects Of an
enemy who happen TO be residing in the
ts -ritory Of q kelligerent, and a stipula-
ton that no dsrogstory tasks shall DO

An Encouraging Sign.

We are glad to observe that the new
Postmaster-G General, fresh from Oyster
Bay, has no hesitation in coming out
squarely for the establishment of a Gov
eminent receptacle, in connection with
the postal system, for the savings Of our
thrifty citizens.
This shows that at least one intelligent
person who has recently approached
President ROOSEVELT and talked with
him about his policies and programme
still believes that conditions are going to
continue to be such that the people will
continue to have savings to deposit in a
Government bank.
In that view we welcome Mr.. MEYERS
advocacy Of the proposed institution.

The Cradle OF American shipbuiIdinu

A Boston shipbuilder challenges the
American shipbuilding and claims that
honor for Medford on the Mystic-Med-
ford famous for rum az well as ships
and the tarry men who 60 down to the
sea in them. Bath has just celebrated
in respondent fashion her tercentenary
of American shipbuilding, and what is
Medford. or the Greater Boston, going
to do about it?
True, the Massachusetts, chronologists
say that Medford was building ships
and floating them on the muddy Mystic
when Bath on the blue Kennebec had
no shipyards at all. The fame Of Bath
for shipbuilding, they contend, dates
from the end Of the seventeenth cen-
fury. Medford had then long resounded
with the blows OF the calker's mallet.
The Blessing Of the Bay, a sloop Of thirty
tons, slid of the ways into the Mystic in
1881, and year after year there was no
buster place than a Medford %shipyard.
Ships as large as the channel of the Mys-
tic would receive were turned out on that
river until 1873.
There was no established shipyard at
Bath until about 1874, but the industry
grew rapidly, attaining to proportions
that dwarfed the enterprise on the banks
Of the little Mystic. Who ever heard of a
fourmaster taking the water at quaint
old Medford? Who has ever known OF
Medford sending a ship Of wal to sea to
fly the American flag? Long since the
fame Of Bath was secure and cast a long
shadow in the land. At Medford now
they build only catboats.
This curious Boston shipbuilder argues
that the fashioning of the thirty ton
pinnace at the mouth of the Kennebec by
the Popham colonists in 1907, twenty
four years before the Blessing OF the Bay
wa launched at Medford, ought not to
count because the colonists had no in
tention Of starting the shipbuilding indus
try there, but were intent only on fleeing
from an Indictment shore. Nevertheless,
they were pioneeIs in the handicraft
on American soiN and sentiment. IL
nothing else. must acclaim that spot OIL

Call ON the Scientists 20 Tell Us More Aboul

To THE EDITOR or n uN-SiE ] ind myself
in accord with the view set forth In an editorial In
The SUN OF August IL. that IL is a very superficial
view TO take OF the origin OF yellow and other fcvers
TO ascrfbe them entirely TO inoculation by mos
~quitocs. There is no doubt that the Sc insects trans
init the virus from one person 10 another, but tho
disease must exist before they can transmit II.
In yellow fever the fever ID bred from putrid
9th Of various kinda In or on animals. and the de-
composition breeds microbes which the mosquitoes
love to devour. nut they are like the BARRIERS; they
don't always clean tho teeth OF their combs. and
the result Is that they become the OF
disease. They transmit but do not generate the
disease. and 10 Is up TO" the doctors 10 nnd the
true cause of the fever.
Science must 20 beyond the microbe because II

wheat PIT
ON VERGE
OF PANIC

Chicago, Oct. l9-Wheat slumped
badly today, but James A. Patten,
leader ON the bull side of the market,
refused to surrender, yaliantly hold
ing his ground against vicious bear
attack inspired by the weakness in
stocks and general feeling of appre-
hensioI in financial circles growing
ont of Henze's troubles in Wall street.
A qpick break shortly before noon
carried December wheat down to 993z
cents and May 10 $40. 81, these QUOTA
tions being Z and cents under the
high prices attained n few days ago.
The decline came with such sud
denness that brokers were carried OF
their feet. For a few minutes 1t
looked as IL the bottom had dropped
out of the market, and the pit was
almost on the verge of a panic.
Tremendous liquida5ion by frighten-
ed holders augmented the price smash
ing efforts of the bears. The refusal
Of Patten to take to his heels, how
ever, checked the selling movement
after time aud near tho close the
prices lifted about / cent from the
low point Nervousness prevailed OH
all sides after the session ended and
brokers were in high state Of excite
ment over possible developments.
