The National Democratic convention,
10 session at Denver last week, came to
a close on Friday, after the nomination
Of William Jennings Bryan Of Nebraska,
and John w. Kern, of Indiana, as the
presidential and vice-presidential ticket,
and the adoption of a platform.
The nomination of Mr.. Bryan
for, President was made with such
unaninity and enthusiasm that even
his most bitter enemies, both rand
out of his party, are compelled to grudg-
ingly admit his popularity and hold upon
the people, and even those who we're so
confident that the Nebraskan would be
the easiest man beaten the democrats
could nominate, are now beginning to
doubt their ability as political prophets,
and are figuring just what the strength
ofthe democratic ticket is
The lufing and lacking of number
of those so-called Democratic papers
which are opposed to Bryan, but have not
the moral courage to come out in the
open and fight him squarely, since his
unanimous endorsement, is ludicrous to
behold, and as they cannot quite swallow
the republican ticket either, they are
drifting about aimlessly on the political
sea, like rudderless ships Ofthis class
of papers there are not few, even Mary
land, My Maryland who prides herself on
Conservatism. having number which
have been placed in a predicament by
action of the convention.
The selection of the Indiana man for
second place on the ticket is looked upon
as denoting move to make the West and
middle West the real battle-ground of the
campaign, as the name of Bryan has ever
been a boogaboo to the East, with her
conservatism, even the policies of our
strenuous President, of whom she expect
ed SO much, having given her many a
scare.
Political forecasting at best is nothing
more than guess work, but from the tone
of those who study the situation from an
unbiased standpoint, the indications are
that the coming campaign promises to be
one of the most stubbornly contested the
country has experienced for years, with
the result best told after election day.

The charge is made that Roosevelt is
turning every trick that his Office as
Chief Executive places in his hands, to
the advantage-of the republican party for
purely campaign purposes, sample of
this political chicanery being the issue of
orders for extraordinary haste in the
letting of contracts for Federal supplies
for the fiscal year.
Uncle Sam, who is far and away the
biggest and best customer that the mer-
chants of America ever get on their
books, has $3.50, 900, 900 to spend this
year for supplies. public buildings, etc.
This money is available since July /.
Usually this annual supply budget is
gradually disbursed through the year, as
the snpplies\ are needed. This time, if
the Administration can manage it, the
whole pile is to he spent before election.
OF course the reason put forward fer this
undue haste is that there is great need to
revive the general business. of the coun-
Try. To this argument, of course, it is
hard for anybody TO offer objection. But
it is very we'll known in all official circles
that there wouldn't be any such hurry il

Surveys are being made by State High.
way engineers for the sections of road in
Cecil county designated by the Commits
sioners for uacadmizing. Cecil county
will receive an apportionment of $Q5. 5000
from the State, under the Shoemak er
act. while an equal amount is made
available by the law passed at the last
Legislature authorizing the issue of bonds
by the county for road improvement
purposes. This money is all to be ex-
pended for Improvements of permanent
nature, and while the mileage is neces-
sarily not great, it at last shows that
Cecil county is making substantial pro-
gress in her good roads campaign, and
with the proposed State highway to be
constructed, will put her abreast of some
of the most progressive counties of other
States, that have outstripped her in past
years, in the matter of good road work.
Since the ball has finally been set in
motion, it is to be hoped it will continue
TO roll on through the county. with in.
creased momentum as funds become
available.

How the bankers laughed at The old

the Interstate Commerce Commission
decline to discuss the reasons for the in
crease, as given in letter of w. c.
Brown, senior vice president of the New
York Central, to the New York Manu-
features Association, but it is generally
acknowledged that spread stiffen-
ing of rates is expected.
The commission ispowerless toNprevent
the raising of rates. 1t is not empowered
to initiate freight tolls. Only after a rate
is raised and complaint is made by a
shipper can the commission act. Then
it can take testimony, weigh the evidence
and either sustain the railroad or order

Attendance upon pigtail cutting car
nival will be one of Secretary Wilson's
summer vacation amusements. He has
left the city and after a. rest at his home
at Traer. he will go to Ames, Iowa
where the pigtail-cutting takes place at
the Agricultural College, the faculty of
which had Mr.. Wilson as member when
President Mckinley called him away to
become Secretary of Agriculture
The pigs that lose their tails at Ames
will be heroes, for through their sacrifice
the salvation of other jewellers in pigdom
will be assured Incidentally the cost of
producing the pork that will enter next

be reduced by SIS, 900, 900. From the
bleeding tails ofthe pigs will be produced
the serum needed to immunize other pigs
from attacks of hog cholera.
There is no way to fight that disease
except by taking blood from an animal
that has withstood an attack of cholera,
and there is no way for getting blood as

only way it can be done except by taking

of small avail, it is declared, in the event

Einhtinu MHonest Craft

Senator La Toilette has introduced
in the United States senate and Mr..
Cary in the house a bill ito prohibit
the giving to or receipt by officials OF
telegraph or telephone franks" The
bill provides for Imprisonment or fine
or both and is intended to destroy the
last link that has bound officials to
corporations through such fayors.
The labor organizations are pushing
the measure and expect to force a
vote on it which will put a good many
Republican members of both houses OF
congress in an uncomfortable posi-
ton. 1t is quite possible that the
Republican leaders will find some way
to prevent the exposure of their COM
plicity with corporations and prevent
the bill from being reported by the
committees on interstate commerce
to which 1t has been referred. Tho
Democrats OF both houses will Tin
,louhtedly favor its passage. and such
few Republicans as are free from cor
poratjon entanglements.

Investigating Roosevelt.

The presidential choler has been
raised by the many reports of federal
appointments for partisan purposes.
President Roosevelt has inspired a
statement that the charge that he IS
misusing federal patronage in Mr..
Taft's behalf lis an unqualified lie,"
and the additional information is fur
nished from the White House that
this statement is contained in a letter
written to a close friend of Mr.. ROose'
velt's in Indiana. 1t is supposed that
this close friend is William Dudley
Foulke of Richmond, former chairman
of the civil service commission. Sena.
tors and representatives who contend
that they have ground for the belief
that the allegations are justified, are
answering this inspired announcement
with the challenge: "If it is an un
qualified lie, we should like to have
certain things explained"
In order to get the desired explana.
ton a resolution for an investigation
will probably be offered in the SEN
ate unless the Republican leaders de-
termine that it is bad politics. If Re
Iublicans are afraid to investigate.
they will have to accept the imputa'
ton of being prevaricators, which
President Roosevelt declares they are,
but it would seem that an investiga-
ton should be made. The Democrats
would. of course, prefer some Repub'
lican should offer such a resolution,
but as such charges should not be
banded about without investigation
it may become the duty of the Demo
Gratis to force 1t, as far as the minor
ity is able to do So.

President Lured Into the Muldoon Test

confirm Mr.. Roots story, President
Roosevelt suggested, skeptically. that
he would like to try this stiff athletic
proposition Of Muldoon's.
Accordingly, Gen. Bell commanded
the expedition, which set out across
the country. The Workmanship test
set for army officers is five miles at q
walk, five miles at a trot and five miles
at a gallop. The Muldoon test, entire
ly on foot, is eight miles at a walk and
seven on a trot.
The going was heavy, for the wealth
er was bad. Gen. Bell went ver the
course easily. President Roosevelt
went over the course, but not easily.
The question as to what President
Roosevelt is to do after March 4, 1909,
has been partly answered as a result
of this trial under the direction of
Gen. Bell.
Before he hunts tigers in India, or
lions in the African jungle, or occupies
a house in London, the president will
undoubtedly go to Muldoon's until he
can walk eight miles and then run
seven on top of that.
He has no intention OF giving up on
a simple little thing like this. But
until he has Muldoon himself to teach
him how the president will avoid fol.
lowing the treatment with Gen. Bell.
OF curse it would have been insub.
ordination, or worse, for Gen. Bell to
have stifened the Muldoon test for
the benefit of his superior officer. Con.
s%equently no n has dared to suggest
that he did, but the boy subalterns
at the Army and Navy club are all in a
broad grin.
Fat officers who bounced about in
the saddle for the Is required miles
last fall are wearing a grin that is
broader still.
