CHANLER FOR PRESIDENT.
DOs-day Suggestion Taken Seriously

by n Brooklyn Newspaper.
From the Brooklyn Eagle
No Democrat ever was nominated for
President without more state or national
record that Mr.. Chanler has. but one
might be. There is nothing 10 forbid 1t.
OF several the record has been too much,
too unsound or too inconsistent. The nom
ination Of Mr. Chanler would seem to be
unlikely. but the suggestion has attrac-
ton and possibly may have Importance.
Mr.. Chanler alone among Democrats.

New York" He is said TO be a man Of
advanced views touching corporations
and trusts. That may be only surmise
or gossip.
This is fact: His originality. learning,
cultivation and independence are unques-
tionable Whether his views be wise or
not, he viii neither obscure nor dis
semble them.
We presume the Democracy is tied to
Mr.. Bryan. and can neither carry him
nor cast him off; but the suggestion Of
Mr. Chanler has in 1t an ideality that
should make not few sit up and think, "
and unquestionably not few will do so.

Lammas Day.

LamQlas Day. which IS a festival Of the
Church Of England, remains an important
date, not only in Scotland, but throughout
rural England. It's date is August Z It
was formerly England's national harvest
festival. The word is rather Of a puzzle,
but philologists say that it is really a
contracted form Of Hlaf-mass. so termed
because the first loaf made from the new
corn was presented az church on this day
which fell nearly a fortnight later under
the old calendar. During the eighteenth
century the Dissenters kept high festival
on Lammas Day TO commemorate the
death OF Queen Anne. If she had lived
they would have been debarred by the
"schism bill' from educating their own
children.

And wildly rip and tear.

Press Comment on the secretary's
Presidential Platform.

From the New York Times.
The Secretary OF War disagrees with
President Roosevelt in respect to two
Of his policies" and In one case the
disagreement Is Of some moment. For
the rest he Loyalty supports and ap-
proves that considerable body of activ-
tiles in which Mr. Roosevelt is so
zeaFously engaged. 1t Is a matter OF
inference only that Mr.. Taft agrees
with the President about the tariff.
since upon that subject no authorita-
tive utterance has come from Oyster
Bay If the longed-for words OF re-
assurance" are sought in Mr. Tafts
speech, and by many they will be sought
painfully and almost with tears, the
search VIII be made practically IN vain.
Il is chiefly in the soberness and greater
moderation Of his language. in the avoid
ance Of over emphasis and OF ferocious de-
nunciation that the secretary's Columbus
speech differs from the compositions OF
