Roosevelt Acts, Bryan TaIks.

The Parkersburg Sentinel makes
the following apology and censure
for Mr.. Bryan:
.'Mr. Bryan declares that govern
ment ownership of railroads is such
a remote possibility that it need not
be taken into account by the present
generation. He advocates present
and permanent control, or regulation
Of railroads. This position proffered
by him as a plank of national plat
form is tenable. but in the form pre-
sented is a mere glittering general
ity."
But, a few months ago in New
York City. as all remember, Mr..
Bryan very positively declared him
self in favor of government. owner
ship. So emphatic and positive were
his declarations in favor of this, that
the Democratic party was nightly
stirred in its indignation and pro-
tests long and loud went up from the
Democrats. And now comes weak
Reputation of himself, in the state
ment that he still believes that way
but gives the matter color of re-
moteness, that is the mistiness of a
distant future.
Now, says the Sentinel, he advo-
Gates contro1 and regulation. That
is exactly what Roosevelt and the
Republican party are accomplishing
and the results show no glitterlng
generality, as the Sentinel imputes
to Bryan's advocacy. Control and
regulation are not theories with the
Republican party but actual prac-
tees.
These are honest differences be-
tween Mr.. Roosevelt and the Repub-
lican party on the one side and Mr..
Bryan and the Democratic party on
the other, and it is easy to see which
of the. two is entitled to the support
of the people. Surely, the boy that
cracks the nut is closer to the kerr
mel than the boy who says he can
crack the nut but does not?

COMPUTATION OF SENTENCE.

A commutation of sentence it is
understood will be asked for Russell
Carter, who was recently sentenced
to the penitentiary from this county
for two years by Judge Charles W.
Lynch for striking Sanford Fleming
on the head with a stone, as he was
driving along the public highway on
Davisson's run. The Governor will
be asked to commute the sentence,
conditional on good behavior.

Watterson sIaps Brynn.

Henry Watterson, the veteran
editor of the Louisville courier-Jour-
nal, hands Mr.. Bryan a significant
bFoadside, when he declares that
there is no hope for the Democratic
party. Henry wattersoh as all know
is gentleman of shrewd political
discernment and is not one to will
ing1y make concessions to his poll
ical enemies, but there is no sham
about him and he never hesitates to
speak what he believes.
Mr.. Watterson has great faith in
the utterances of President Roose-
velt and especially those personal to
the President. He accepts Mr..
Roosevelt at his word in reference
to his decllnation to accept another
nomination for President.
As early as last June Mr.. Waiter
son made the prediction that Cover
nor Hughes of New York would be
the next President of the United
States. Mr.. Watterson believed then
there was no hope for Democratic
success and he has not changed his
mind. Mr.. watterson now declares
that he believes Hughes will be to
the Republican party what Tilden
was TO the Democratic party.
Col. Watterson's view of the DEM
ocratic situation is not rosy. He
believes the Democrats might have
a glorious chance of winning If there
happened to be cholera in the Phil
ippines, yellow fever in Cuba, and If
wheat dropped to 40 cents a bushel
and corn to 10. Then again there
might be something doing for the
Democratic If the split in the Repub-
lfcan parry was big enough. In re-
gard to Mr.. Bryan's latest idea, the
initiative and referendum, the colonel
says:
'Mr, Bryan is fond of speculation,
and l shouldn't be surprised at any
novelty he might trot out. Mr..
Bryan is public speaker and he has
to be both entertaining and attrac-
tive If he is to hold out"
The colonel does not doubt Mr..
Bryan's ability to carry out his
threat to drive everybody out of the
Democratic party who do not accept
the initiative and the referendum.
%IIe is pretty good driver" says
the colonel. He has already driven
a good many thousand out of the
party, has driven the power of the
Democracy out of the north. and has
driven Democratic majority out Of
Congress"
Watterson represents large, lead
ing and influential thinking element
of the Democratic party. His retro
spection Of Bryan's course is but an
index to what thousands of Others in
his party believe and know of Bryan.
He does not deceive himself with
any of Bryan's latest isms any more
than he did in the past, when his
sound reasoning and judgment would
not suffer him to be led Wild
goose chase.
And 1t is such men as think as
Colonel Watterson does who will see
to 1t that the party is not led into
the dire disasters Bryan would lead
the country into. Colonel Waiter
SON also knows the public pulse too
we'll to advise the denomination of
Bryan, after the two terrible defeats
that were administered to him.
Colonel Watterson also knows that
the only successful reforms brought
about in the federal administration
of-the laws have been by the Repub-

Just as soon as some of the recent
alleged rerormers thought they saw
a possibility of the number of saloons
being cut down in the Fourth ward,
they were on their feet with a pro-
test, and took complete somersault
from the position they formerly af-
fected. 1t is possible there would
have been but one saloon in that
ward, If they had not taken this ac-
ton, and as the result they have
three. II the number be objection
able, they have no one to blame but
themselves, and the public will hold
them responsible, no matter how
much they try to dodge the issue by
attempting to lay the blame on
others.

From the way in which leading
Democratic politicians, with ma
tional reputation, are declaring that
they will be perfectly satisfied with
several Republicans elected to the
Presidency, it is evident that they
are not going to bend their ener-
gies very much toward the election
of Mr.. Bryan. Coming so soon af-
ter the suggestion made by John
Temple Graves that Bryan should
nominate Roosevelt, the utterance
Bril- s. Coler, a prominent Democrat
ic leader in New York, makes is
most significant. He says Governor
Hughes is good enough Democrat
for him. Mr.. Hughes, like Taft,
represents most of the Roosevelt
policies and is one possessed OF the
same strenuosity in governmental
reforms. These declarations by
prominent Democrats mean indorse-
ment of the Roosevelt policies and
that they favor their continuation.
1t is also an admission that to con-
tinue them, some such Republican
as Taft or Hughes must be elected.
