Pistols and Crime.

A colored boy In this city yesterday on
being refused a ride on an ice wagon
threatened to get even" with It's driver.
He disappeared for a few minutes and on
returning shot the driver through the
head. inficting a probably fatal wound. He
escaped. but later was captured in Mary
land. a fortunate circumstance. not merely
for the purpose Of punishment. but to lead
to a discovery Of the manner In which
he obtained the pistol. Such crimes
illustrate distinctly the grave danger OF
the present system Of exposing murder
Gus weapons to view In shop windows
and placing them within the easy reach Of
purchasers at low price. Under q
proper system. OF pistol vending this boy
might not have been able to arm himself.
There is no force In the argument some
times raised that a strict licensing sys-
tenn. imposing a penalty upon the selling
Of pistols without court permits to do so.
would not affect the evil occasioned by
the great number Of weapons now Sc
cretly in the possession of people. The
proposed plan would surely prevent an
indefinite continuation Of the present MUIR
derous process OF personal armament.

YuauRuration Stands.

II Is a suggestive coincidence that even
before the first of the two principal presi-
Dental nowinations has been made prep
arations are under way for the next in
auguration. Washington's experience in
the induction Of chief executives into Of
fec teaches that It u well to be fore
handed In these matters. OF course the
actual practical work Of making ready for
the great national ceremonial will not be-
gin until late next autumn, after the
election, when the wishes Of the next
President can be consulted. But 30 ex-
perienced are the people Of this city in
the management Of the details of inaugu-
rations that they are able now to view
their needs perspectively and to plan to
secure the best possible result.
The step just taken by the National So
ciety Of Fine Arts the Washington Archi-
tectural Club and the local chapter OF
American Institute of Architects toward
securing a harmonious. artistic plan for
the street stands at Inauguration time
commercially leads the way to an i'm
March. There have been some sad mis-
takes In this regard in the past. but OF
late years the seating arrangements at
proved and in the light Of the experience
Of the last two inaugurations IT is not to
be doubted that with this good start and
under the stimulus OF attractive prizes
for the best design II will be possible to
evolve a series 81 grandstands and other
arrangements for seating that will not
only accommodate the crowds safely and
comfortably. but do SO without disfiguring
the line Of march with ugly tawdry piles
OF lumber covered with cheap bunting.
The efforts Of few years ago to secure
a uniform style Of grandstand architec-
ture demonstrated that 1t Is possible to
take care Of the sightseers comfortably
and economically and with some degree
OF consideration for the artistic eye. With
the organizations named working along
these lines II may not be doubted that the
Inauguration Of 1909 will establish q new
high standard for such effects.

The Denver Convention.

Now for Denver. What about the Or
ganization of the democratic convention?
Who for temporary and who for perma-
nent chairman? And who will be chosen
to preside over the platform committee?
1t is popular to say that Mr.. Bryan will
Shape everything to suit himself: that the
convention will be under his thumb. and
that II will not only take but seek orders
from him. We may admit his strength
there. He may be nominated by acclama-
ton. The instructed votes for Gray and
for johnson are negligible in number and
influence. while many Of the uninstructed
votes are for Mr.. Bryan. The peerless
leader. so far as his party Is concerned,
was never better entitled to that cogno-
men than now. He has all of his rivals
distanced.
But will Mr. Bryan use all Of the great
power he possesses? Weak as his oppO-
nents are. they yet have some strength.
and strong as he is he needs 1t. We shall
probably see him make play for har-
mony-not conceding any vital point. and
not putting himself into the hands Of his
opponents. but calling for their assist
ance, and utilizing such as may be given
in a safe and conciliatory way.
The invitation to Mr.. Watterson to visit
Lincoln shows a new spirit in Mr.. Bryan.
We are far away now from the young
autocrat who after the election of 1896
declared that those men who had re-
jected the ticket that year would have to
present themselves In sackcloth and ashes
IL ever they asked readmission to the
party. Mr.. Watterson was Of that num-
ber and he has never worn the biblical
suit Of penitence. OF course he was not
so arrayed at Lincoln. That wear would
not be becoming to his style Of beauty.
He went in old-fashioned democratic toys.
talked probably in frank fashion, and
came away with head up.
The latch-string at Lincoln. therefore.
Is on the outside. Mr.. Bryan Is ready
for company, wants company. and will
see that visitors enjoy themselves. He
wants support, and Is willing to make
advances to sec re 1t. He has been in
structed by adversely. whose uses. we are
told. are sweet.
And SO 1t may come to pass that at Den
yer Mr.. Bryan may not care to be the
whole show. While asking for an organ
ization Of the convention IN keeping with
what his candidacy will express. he may
not care to appear IN all the details Of
honors.

A Campaign Manager.

The chairman Of a national committee
should possess some high qualifications.
He should be much more than a judge Of
good caucus work. That sort Of work Is
important in it's place. and q campaign
manager should know how to direct 1t.
But If his talents do not rise above it his
party Is sure to suffer.
He should be much more than a COL
1ector Of campaign funds. Sinews OF war
are very necessary. and must be found.
But a campaign manager whose leading
gift lay In touching men and interests
for money would cut sorry figure in a
contest involving all Of the great national
issues. He might fill his war chest. but
without a broad knowledge of how to use
his material the treasure might become
q source OF embarra ssment rather than OF
help.
For illustration let us consider two men
and their performances.
Mr.. Hanna had large credit with the
business world. and that was a factor In
his success In 1895. 1t enabled him to Sc
cure the means for an energetic cam
paign. But over and above that he pos
sessed ripe judgment about men and
measures. He took large view OF things
and the leaders Of his party conferred
with him with profit and pleasure. They
left him with great respect for his capac-
ity. and strengthened for their part of
what was in hand.
Mr.. Taggart was. and is. shrewd hand
at caucus work on a parochial scale. 1t
was the boss of Indianapolis whom the
Pafkerites selected for their chairman
In 1904 But they soon discovered their
mistake. and tried to correct 1t. front
room was assigned to Mr.. Taggart at
New York headquarters. and visitors met
him there, shook his hand and snapped
stories with him. But the men WHO pulled
the wires sat elsewhere, out of sight. 1t
was in nobody's power to pilot suc::
candidate at the head of such a combina-
tfon to victory. but the choice Of Mr.. Tag
CART for the work was fatuous almost
past belief
The republicans are now wrestling with
this proposition. They would do we'll to
give 1t full and serious consideration. Not
only have they wounds to heal In their
own ranks. but difficulties to compose else
where. and their campaign manager
should approach near to the candidate
himself In popular respect and the capac-
ity to deal with large matters on large
lines.

Hughes.

In refusing to be a party to a juggle
at Chicago over the vice presidency Gov.
Hughes. as usual. shows sand and sense.
New York instructed for him for first
place. and the state stands commit
ted until those instructions have been
obeyed. Everybody. Of course. knows the
situation. The politicians Of the delega-
ton are not for Gov. Hughes for either
place. They are not trying to clear the
way for his nomination for Vice Presi-
dent, but for his elimination completely
from the convention calculations. Very
properly. therefore. and as much through
consideration for his party's interests as
for his own self-respect, Gov. Hughes
steers clear of any game his enemies
may have arranged. AS organized, the
New York delegation at Chicago is not
an impressive body.

The impetus toward preventive medicine

fourth OF the distress which manifests
itself through poverty is caused by sick
ness. largely preventable. and one-half the
result OF alcoholism. also preventable.
