Mr.. Bryan as Window Dresser.
SAYS the Philadelphia Ledge

Mr.. Bryan. after some years as a fu-
rious free trader. abandoned tariff reform
for a new political attraction. as he has
since abandoned anti-imperialism and free
silver. He may be man of untainted
sincerity, but his facility of switching to
paramount issues Is feature of his ca
reer which cannot be denied"
Yes. but this simply shows that Mr..
Bryan is a politician and knows how to
play the game. The political leader must
understand the art of window dressing
He must make attractive display of what
he has in stock and Is. at the time in the
public eye. That is the way to do bust
ness. In no other way may prosperity
even be hoped for.
But, while putting first this and then
that thing forward. Mr. Bryan has aban-
doned nothing. That is the point. and In
a way, it is to his credit. He is still q
free trader: still free silverite; still ar
anti-imperialist; still in favor OF govern
ment ownership of railroads. In his opin.
ion the government in time will come tc
all of those policies; and elect him Presi
dent and he will use all the powers OF
his Office to hasten that time. He is sail
ing under no false colors.
The difficulty is In the heterogeneou.

Closed Court Doors.

American lawmakers might profitably
consider the example of the Berlin court
now engaged in trying Editor Harden on
charges of libel, growing out of the pub
LEGATION of accusations of the grossest
immortality leveled against certain high
officials. The testimony required to be
taken in this case was of such charac-
ter that in the interest of public decency
the doors of the court were closed. All
the proceedings. from certain stage.
have been in secret. While, of course,
public curiosity is whetted, to the utmost,
and the imagination runs riot under the
stimulus of secrecy. the disgusting de-
tails of the evidence have not been spread
abroad. That is a great gain.
How much better II would be for the
American people If the courts here were
to close their doors occasionally and
shut out the public when gross details
of immoral relations or of crime are re-
quired to elucidats the issues involved in
celebrated cases, AS long as the doors
remain open publicity is inevitable. The
better class of newspapers prune and
trim down their reports as far as they
can, and even yet there will remain at
ftimes a residue which offends the finer
sensibilities. The less considerable press
treats its readers to the full dish OF
nauseating stuff. Meanwhile the court
room is packed with morbid crowd OF
sensation seekers, gloating over the spec
tacle of slammed womanhood or wretched
manhood and carrying away the most
demoralizing Impressions to be scattered
broadcast by word of mouth.
While there is a strong American an
| tagonism toward the policy of secret ju-
dicial proceedings. there is. nevertheless
a growing American disposition to resent

| the courts has been developed. The Ger

character of the democratic party. There
are free traders who are opposed to free
silver. and free silverites opposed to free
trade. Some of the limited number OF
antf-imnsrialists are opposed to both
free trade and free silver. while the ad-
vocates of government ownership of rail-
roads do not desire to stop there but
would go the whole length of the popu-
istic-socialistic program.
What Mr.. Bryan is trying to do is to
find something to shake before the eyes
of all these people which will bring them
together and make them forget for the
time the things about which they are
divided. He has Astounding self-confi-
dence. and does not doubt that if installed
in the White House. with a substantial
popular majority behind him, he could
bring everybody to his own point of view
and forward all the policies for which
he stands.
But he is probably mistaken. The
chances would be for the other thing A
breakup, quite as disastrous as that
which followed Mr. Cleveland's second
election, would result, and throw the coun-
try into such confusion as it has not ex-
perienced since that time. Mr.. Bryan in
the White House would be pulling in one
direction, while the following which had
put him there, but now split into half a
dozen different factions, would be pulling
each according to it's particular bent.
IL Is at once queer. an interesting and
a perilous state of things. Mr.. Bryans
sincerity cannot successfully be inn
peached. That quality is at once his
glory and his menace In office he would
try to carry out his policies. and If he
succeeded in doing so the country would
suffer intellectually.

A Fluctuating Ambition.
AVS the Colltrnhus (Ohiol pisnatch.

Says the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch:
THE Washington Star notes the rise OF
the usual congressional ambition to make
Washington model city. But 1t is the
regular decline, not the rise, that Is most
interesting. Why is it?"
Yes. why is it'll Why do members of
C6cSress express in advance of a session
tha&eehest inter- Est in all projects for the
impSSemsnt and development Of the fed
eral capital. and then permit the months
to- pas4 without concerted action to that
e6d2 /Rerhapsi 1t is because there are no
votesfn the enterprise. No constituents
are watching the record to see how a GER
Tain membeF is moving and voting on
plans to brfng Washington up to the mark
in thn-natter of public buildings, parks
and municipal equipment. There is no
denomination OF reelection in thorough
gAing advocacy of the federal capital
deieEopment.
Unfortunately, in many cases these are
the considerations which supply the
springs of action in the houses of Con-
gress. OF course, there are numerous
legislators who rise superior to them and
work steadfastly and zealously for the
Di1<rsct. But they lack the political agen-
cies Nn5ch create followings and forces.
One of the reasons which may be as
signed to answer the question raised by
the Dispatch is that the development of
Washington will cost money. There is no
alchemy by which public buildings can be
created out of nothing or transmitted from
some base, cheap material. Though the
fact has been pointed out again and again
that construction work undertaken now
will cost less than in the future, there
remains fear in many minds on the
hill lest the ''peepul'' may resent the
expenditure of few millions for the pur-
pose of giving Uncle Sam the housing ac-
commodations he requires.
Weshingtonians with a view broader
than their own individual daily needs
continue to live in hope that some time
the truly national aspect of this District
will be appreciated by Congress. and that

members to maintain a federal capital

wealth and dignity of the United States
will be recognized and performed.

Secretary Taft.

good taste and judgment. He has beer

tainty.
Probably none of Judge Taft's rivals un-
derrates the man. His capacity for public
affairs is large, and his success in Office
has been unusual. All of his work has
shown grasp, resource, and character
His law has been sound. his diplomacy OF
the home brand, and his versatility con-
spicuous. His executive faculty is the
equal of that of any man in our political
life. Whatever of a large nature he has
undertaken he has accomplished in a way
to benefit the country and increase his
own high reputation.
The Star shares in the widely enter.
tanned opinion that the Taft boom was
badly launched. Indeed. in the case of a
man of less pronounced deserts and claims
upon consideration, the boom would have
gone from the skids straight to the bottom
of the water. That such was not it's fate,
but that it kept afloat and is now afloat
may be set down to the credit of the name
it bears. Taft, in the present-day nomen-
clature, spells both ability and attractive
ness.
Henceforth We may see different man.
agement if not different managers. The
President by repeating the withdrawal OF
his name from all calculation has sim
plifed the situation for everybody in in
terest, and for Judge Taft in particular
The field is now clear, and there is no
reason why all who aspire to the republi-
can nomination should not address them
selves with all zeal to their interests.
And in the contest, Judge Taft, being in
intimate touch with his Heutenants, should
exhibit in that arena, as he has elsewhere
the qualities of capable general.
The country is to be congratulated or
the general prospect. AS the republicans
are in power their chances of success are
thought to be better than those of Their
opponents, and their leaders now under dis
cussion as presidential timber are all mer
of marked strength and large experience

The False Alarm in Nevada.

When Gov. Sparks of Nevada tele-
graphed the President that that state was
powerless to resist certain lawless ele-
ments then combining to precipitate
trouble in the Goldfeld region. nothing
was left the federal executive but to dis
patch United States troops at once to the
scene, to prepare for any emergency that
might arise. Had the President waited
to investigate and had serious trouble
arisen before action could be taken, the
responsibility for the consequent des.ruc-
ton of property or loss of life would
have rested upon his shoulders. He be-
lieved the Nevada chief of state and acted
with commendable promptness, on the
assumption that the troops were actually
needed.
The troops were sent and at the same
time, as a measure of assurance, the
President dispatched to Nevada a spe-
cial commission of Investigators to ascer-
tain the exact state of affairs. Between
them and the commander of the forces
at Goldfield the President has become
convinced that there is no danger. and
that, in fact, there never was danger of
disturbance of such extent that the
state itself could not cope with it. Con-
sequently orders have been issued for the
withdrawal of the troops at the end of
the month. The President has, at the
same time, telegraphed the governor that
he will not permit the United States
forces to perform the ordinary police
duties that belong to the state of Nevada,
but stands ready to act in any actual
emergency.
This episode has it's lesson to be learned.
If they will, by all the state executives.
They are charged with a certain RESPONSE
bility, and in discharging it they must
exhaust their own resources before they
summon those of the United States. The
action Of Gov. Sparks in calling for help
before he had even tried to cope with the
situation must necessarily affect, unfor-
tunately, any future case of the same
character that may arise. The cry of
wolf, wolf" when there is no wolf dulls
the disposition of the rescuer to respond.
Any criticism that may be evoked NY
this Nevada affair should be directed at
the governor of the state, and not at the
President. The latter merely did his full
duty in the interest of peace and order.

Japan Our Friend.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Fresh expressions of cordiality to this
country are being received from Japan.
Taken in connection with the statement
Of Mr.. Taft, who is President Roosevelt
candidate for the presidency. the coun-
try can accept as fact that whatever
cause for apprehension previously ex-
listed, the clouds have drifted by. Secre-
tary Taft is unequivocal in his asser-
ton that the Japanese people are in favor
of peace. and that nothing but peace is
to be expected. It. sometimes takes a
storm to clear the atmosphere, and If the
recent unpleasantness, that bordered
closely upon a serious misunderstanding
has been relieved by the sailing of the
fleet, then this has already been proved
to be most astute diplomatic move
Certainly japan and this country have
everything to gain by good relations and
nothing to win by war. It will be a
pleasant task for history to record the
sailing of the fleet as marking the open
ing of a new era of good feeling between
the countries.
