MIR. Bryan's Candidate.

Apparently Mr.. BRYAN is sngered Or
alarmed by the indications of a dispo-
sition in the Democratic party TO revolt
against his perpetual dictatorship and
candidacy. In his weekly organ is this
plain reminder that he must he renomi-
mated whether he wants to be or not:
Those who urge the nomination OF a 'conser-
vatIve' candidate by the Democratic convention
studiously insist that MI. RRrAsrs friends say he
does not want the nomination. But Is this the real
issue The Presidential nomination ought not TO
be regarded as a compliment TO he handed TO some
one because he would be pleased TO have II. A
candidate should he selected because the rank and
ne OF the party want him nominated. not merely
because be wants the nomination"
The intended implication Of these vir-
tuous phrases is clear. The. rank and
file Of the Democracy want Mr.. BRYAN.
He must be nominated, no matter what
civil conventional reluctance he may
have pretended or may yet pretend to
show.
Well, il Mr.. BRYAN is bound that the
Democratic party shall continue TO
devote himself to him and disaster, the
stronger is the need Of action on the
part of those Democrats who are sick
of both.

BAYARD and ROOSEVELT among Amer
leans. But while General PORTER recog-
nized hat non-interposition on behalf Of
contractual creditors was approved by
many authorities, and conspicuously by
DIR. DRAGo of Argentina, he thought that
a qualified interposition should not only
be permissible, but would inure to the
interests Of all parties concerned in cases
where a disputed claim should have been
referred to the court Of arbitration at The
Hague and the country adjudged adebtor
should have failed to conform To the iudg-
ment of that tribunal. The ecourse to
armed Intervention in such n case, and
such a case only, would meet, he pointed
out, the objection made to. the Drago
doctrine by Brazil and Mexico, that its
embodiment in international law would
seriously cripple the credit of those
Latin American countries which could
not be reproached with the nonpayment
Of co%ntractual debts. The knowledge
that the validity Of a claim might have
to be determined by impartial arbitrators
would warn rapacious money lenders
that they must base their operations
solely on considerations of good faith or
a Governments national credit and just
administration, and thus would safe
guard a weak commonwealth from spolia-
ton, but should not weaken the status
on foreign exchanges of an American
republic known to be punctilious about
the discharge of its obligations.
1t was significant that during the meet
ing of the committee on July 10 Venezuela
presented an amendment to General
PoRTER's proposal by which the use Of
force would be prohibited. even after
arbitration. simultaneously a report be-
came current in Brussels that Venezuela
had intimated that it would refuse to
pay the debt of two million dollars ad-
judged by the tribunal at The Hague TO be
due to it's Belgian creditors. This report
is irreconcilable with an authoritative de-
spatch from Washington on May II TO the
effect that President CASTRO, o after
July 1, would begin to pay the adjudicated
claims of the United States and seven other
nations, including Belgium. II is possible
that DR.. DRAGo, who is a member of
the Argentine delegation, will personally
advocate theV Venezuelan amendment, but
the Buenos Ayres Government is said to
have instructed him to vote for the
American proposal if nothing better can

LAKE SHIPPING CONDITIONS.
The Canadian Carrying Trade . Small
Fraction OF the Whole.

To THE EDITOR or THE sUN-Sir: Mr.. Ed
ward w. Townsend does not meet my criti-
cism Of his article in Gpnter's Mnodsine by
his statement in a letter to The SUS that the
American c~oastwise law does not apply TO
ships carrying grain from Canadian Lake
Superior ports to Buffalo.
IL was not this traf1c which built up our
splendid Lake marine. Even now the trade
from Canadian to American ports. or vice
versa. In only a small fraction OF the whole
lake trade. Nine-tenths Of II is between
American ports, and under the law OF which
! reminded Mr.. Townsend IL must be con-
veyed in American vessels. Mr.. Townsend
urged that the lake shipping had been built
up without subsidies. showed him that
IL has been Quilt up under something even
more potent than subsidies. This fact Ia not
Lake ommerc which Ia relatively inconsider-
able. The great bulk OF our Lake shipping,
which Mr.. Townsend 80 Justly eulosizee,
plies from one to another American port
under the Rgis Of the coastwise legislation.
And leaving the lakes, MIR. Townsend falls
into another error when he attributes the
shrinkag &c Of our ocean shipping TO the tariff
on steel. There is no tariff on the steel shapes
and plates or any other material OF any kline
required for the construction, equipment or
repair of American vessels for the foreign
trade. such materials are dutiable only
when intended for coastwise craft. and tho
coasts az well as OF the Great Lakes r. pros

A Duty Neglected by the Police,

That the passengers on crowded ele-
waited trains receive no protection from
the police or the employees of the COM
pany ia so well understood that peace
ably disposed persons prefer other means
Of transit on holidays and Sundays when
chowder clubs and baseball mobs are
in the habit Of taking possession Of the
trains and turning them into bear gar
dens. The guards can hardly be ex-
pected to play the part Of police officers
they have their hands full in opening
and shutting gates and regulating the
ebb and flow of the swirling tide of
patronage.
The company seems TO have no force Of
employees which could be used 10 main
tain order on it's trains, and the police
department will probably plead that it
has no men to spare for such a detail.
But when a collision in which several
scores Of passengers are injured, n or
more OF them perhaps fatally, occurs
on an elevated railroad as the result
of a vicious fight in a holiday crowd, ac-
cording to the statement Of the motor
man, II is about time TO fix responsibility
for the neglect to provide protection for
the travelling public and insist that there
shall be no more scenes OF rioting and
no more interference with the servants

No Berlin Worlds Fair in 1913.

About a year ago it was given out in
Berlin with what seemed TO be official
sanction that a great international expo
sition would be held in that city in 1912
or 1918 in celebration Of the t~wenty-fifth
anniversary Of Emperor WILLIAMS ac-
oession TO the throne. II was announced
that the fair would be planned on an
imperial scale that would surpass all
previous attempts in holding worlds
fairs, and the magnificent scale or which
Germany has always been represented
at such exhibitions, whether in Paris,
Vienna, Chicago or st. Louis. gave as
suranoe that II she were to hold such
a fair herself il would be on a scale com
mensurate with her past achievements
and the dignity Of the empire.
No visitor TO universal expositions
within the last quarter Of Q century could
have failed to npte the thoroughness, the

Governor Herrick's Letter.

We publish an exceedingly straight
forward letter from the Hon. MYRoN
T. HERRICK of Ohio about the circum-
stances and political effect OF Secretary
TAFr's interposition in the Ohio cam
paign of 1905. While this statement was
originally intended by Mr.. HERRICK as a
private communication to THE Sun, its
contents are such that We avail ourselves
without the slightest hesitation Of the
appended permission and print it in full
exactly as written.
Al the time of Mr.. TAFT's Hateful speech
al Akron Governor HERRICK was run-
ming prosperously for reelection at the
head Of the Republican ticket. A few
days after the delivery Of the speech
Governor HERRICK Was beaten by
than forty thousand votes, the rest of
the ticket being elected.
There is no need of comment on Mr..
HERRICK's frank and Enthusiastically
manly exhibition of his belief concerning
cause and effect. The Taft speech at
Akron, he says, was the turning point in
the campaign which turned against him.
Thousands of Ohio Republicans agree
with this view of Mr.. TAFT's responsible
ity for that strange and deplorable event
in Ohio politics. But it gives us special
pleasure to dwell for a moment upon
Mr.. HERRICK's postscript, which is not
less honorable to himself as a Christian
politician than creditable TO Secretary
TAFT as a candidate capable Of COM
handing such support and inspiring
such magnanimity.
