BoNApAnrE ON THE PRESS.

That there are newspapers as per-
nicious in their moral influence as the
notorious yellow journals, Attorney
General Bonaparte well brought out in
his address before the National Munici-
pal League. Newspapers literally or
virtually owned and controlled by GER
tain interests are no better than the
''purchasable press" the papers whose
editorial opinions are bought and
sold as a regular thing. Their
influence cannot be for good. Rep
utable newspapers are careful lest
what they publish as advertisements be
confused with what they publish as
news or comment.
Mr.. Bonaparte points out, But it is
just as much a fraud on the public to
write something which you are directly
or indirectly paid to write and publish,
and then publish as your spontaneous
expression of your true sentiments. as
it would be to publish in the like guise
what somebody else has written"
There are conspicuous examples OF
such papers. even among what are
called the 'sgreat dailies,7 and doubt
less the Attorney General had them in
mind. They have >had much to dc
with the present financial situation by
the bias they give their news as
well as by their inspired editorial utter
ances. 1t is easier to shake the eona-

The southern Candidate idea.

The movement for the nomination of a
Southern man for President as the candi-
date of the national Democracy is all very
funny, n we do not suppose that the
work of the convention will be considered
seriously by the Democracy at large. A
movement that is wholly sectional In its
origin and that appeals on sectional
grounds for NATIONALLY unity within the
party can hardly hope to make much
Roadway in practical politics. IL some
State in the East, for example, should Or
ganize a movement in behalf of an East
ern man for President. because the vote OF
the East is necessary to the success of
the party, and the wealth of the country
is largely centred in that section, the South
would Immediately protest against the
narrowing of party lines within sectional
areas. The same would occur If he Demo-
Gratis of the West should ''inaugurate" a
similar movement The South ought to
have recognition in the government at
Washington unquestionably, but 1t should
nave such recognition upon the merits Of
the man and policies it would nominate
and support, and not upon the fortuitous
strength 1t possesses in the Electoral Col
legc.
If there is to be anything like national
unity in the national Democracy Vt is not
to be obtained surely by the nomination
Of a sectional President on sectional
grounds. The object of nominating a
Democrat for President at all is to secure
his election and at the same time adj
vance the cause of Democracy. We do not
care from what State he come so that he
come with character and ability. What is
needed in the first place is a united party
with a sound Decentralization News

Bryan Sentiment Fading.

There must surely be developing thai
tired feeling concerning Mr.. Bryan wen III
the bosoms of those who in the early
stages of his career as a presidential can
didate were recorded as ardent Bryan en-
thusiasts. There are really no indications
on the surface that there is a generally DIFF
fused Bryan sentiment now existent any
where. The old-time Bryan shouters are
not any longer writing letters to the news
papers explaining and extolling the emil
nent virtues of the great ~expounder OF
Jeffersonianism and a few other isms
that are all his own. Even Mr.. Bryan's
announcement of his willingness to serve
once more fails, apparently, to stir the
imagination of the Democratic masses. On
the other hand, that element of the party
that has never yet accepted Bryan with
out painful contortions has not changed In
the least in its attitude TOWARD him AS a
party leader.-Baltimore American.

Young Man with Lots of Talent.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Would you be kind enough to tell me the
best way to get a position on the stage. 1
am a young man with lots of talent and a
good voice. l.. l.. j.
[You will have to convince some man
ager that it is in his interests to give you
"A start. We think you will find this a
rather discouraging undertaking, espe-
cially at this time when hundreds of actors
and actresses, with experience as well as
lots of talent" have been thrown out of
employment by the failure of many pro-
auctions, and are beseiging the officers Of
the agencies and managers. Perhaps, II

not be a bad thing to try your luck at
some of the numerous local 'ampteur
nights If you can make good at one
of those and keep your audience quiet and
interested. hat would be an indication
that you might be able to advance further.
You will have to make up your mind to
take a humble, very humble, start. Take
anything that offers. Even il it's only

the chorus, it may give you a a You

Beginning to Return.

But the fact is that this hoarsed money
is beginning to return. That fact is be-
ing appreciably felt. The condition is
growing better each day. The Withdrawn
currency is drifting back to the custom
airy channels. With it's appearance there
is an extension of credit to merchants
and manufacturers Thus we come to the
value and the great Importance of the acts
of President Roosevelt and Secretary Cor
telyou in their authorization of the issues
Of bonds and treasury certificates. If these
hoarders of money have no confidence in
the banks. they can place their money In
the certificates. Confidence in the Fed
eral Government and its administrators
will bring this about. The money paid for
the certificates will at once go back into
circulation to the benefit Of commerce.
And all this means in effect a restoration
Of confidence. The patriotic thing to do
Is to redeposit funds in the banks and
trust companies. The next thing Is to buy
these certificates. The difference is that
the deposit of funds is a prompter and
more expeditions way of elief.-Brooklyn

New Law Provides for Elecfing
Mayor in Harrison.

New Lnyy Provides for EIecting n
Mayor in Harrison.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In an editorial signed j. M. in the STAR
of Tuesday evening, there is an injustice
done to the Legislature of 1907 In critics.
ing the ousting of Mayor Riordan, of Har-
rlson, from office. The statement is made
that an appeal was made to the Legisla-
ture this year to correct the defect in the
old law relating to the mayors of towns,
and that eth Legislature smothered the
request-not openly, oh, no! 1t was done
to death by methods in keeping with the
whole procedure in this case-secrecy,
darkness and with all the cowardice that
usually accompanies deeds of shame"
There is only one mistake, on which this
statement Is based, but that one error is
basic, AS a matter of fact, the appeal to
the Legislature was needed and the bill tc
remedy the defects in the old law was
passed through the persistent efforts OF
A~ssemhlynlan Riordan, of Harrison. Not
only did he get 1t through the Assembly,
but he fought II through the Senate
against great opposition, and, through per-
sistent work, had the Governor sign the
bill, which was approved April 10, and is
now chapter SO Of the laws of 1907. The
bill was drawn up by Town Counse M. I.
Barrett and Chandler w. Riker.
1t was under this new act that Mayor
Firth, of Phillipsburg, was elected this
year. In the case Of the town of Har-
rison In election could not be held this
year because the theory held that the old
law was constitutional until declared
otherwise and Mayor Riordan's term under
the old law did not expire in time to nave
an election this year under the new law.
There was no vacancy to call for an cleo
tlon, as the decision that the old law was
unconstitutional could not be anticipated.
The county clerk would not accept nomi-
nations made for the office of Mayor of
Harrison, and the town clerk could not
call for nominations.
The new law is believed to be constitu-
tional, n as the Phillipsburg election
was held under it this year, so the Harri-
son election can be held next year, when
Mayor Riordan will undoubtedly be elect
ed by a greater majority than he received
last year as a result Of the persecution tc
which he was exposed.
Therefore, there Is no need for the re
dress the editorial goes on to ask for
and 1t is hoped that there will be no neec
for another act proof against all quirks
and bubbles" HARRISON.

Oriental Politeness.

To look at a high Chinese official
through glasses is to be wanting in
proper respect, and the man who is
forced to wear glasses all the time
should be careful to explain. or he may
give offense. To make social call In
China in a sedan chair with short ham
dies creates something of the sensation
that would be created in America If
one were to make social call in a
hearse, because short handled sedan
chair is employed at funerals to carry
the spirit of the deceased. To send
presents wrapped up in the wrong way
or by the wrong kind of messenger
is to deprive them of their value to the
recipient. To hold ones hand behind
the back while talking to an oriental
is to be discourteous. To walk rapidly
is to class oneself with coolies. To
inquire of Moslem about the health
of his wife is to offer an objectionable
insult. To count the children of a
household in Africa is to bring bad
luck upon them. To jump quickly out
of gharry in India is. in the estima-
ton of an East Indian lady or gentle
man, as undignified as for lady in
New York to jump over fence.-Ar-
