The crowd which greeted Mr..
Bry an at Denver last Friday is
conceded to have been the largest
ever assembled in that city, yet
the Denver Republican says it
was assembled largely from curl
osity to see Bryan Queer isn't
it2 Probably two-thirds of the
people there had seen Bryan be-
fore, many of them several times.
Why then such scramble merely
to see him again? The Republican
must be out of ammunition.

WHILE the newspapers Of both
parties are calling attention to
what they call the apathy of
voters. other columns convey the
information that everywhere over
the state the registration is heavy.
This shows that the failure OF
voters to rend their underwear
and the atmosphere in mad en-
thusiasm. they propose to vote
and that is what counts. People
this year are doing some heavy
thinking for themselves and are
not following professions.

The big republican papers
should get together. The Pueblo
Chiettain scores Bryan for put
ting his old-time friend. in the
background for the Speer- Evans
gang. while the Denver Republi
can scores him for an attempt to
put Patterson in the foreground.
Evidently Bryan's visit to Denver
did not please these papers, but
they ought to agree on the lies
they will tell about it.

ONE of the amusing pranks OF
the republican papers is their
varying attitude towatd T. M.
Patterson. One day they pat
him on the back and say he is the
leading democrat of the state. the
next they jump on him with both
feet and insist that he has been
discredited and repudiated. 1t all
depends on what Mr.. Patterson
has said or done as basis for the
comment.

Bomb Throwing Is Becoming a Habit

AS result of these incidents the
tenements have been practically re-
built several times, having been pretty
thoroughly wrecked by each explo-
sion. In this section large proper
tion of the population carries pocket
bombs ready to be hurled at anybody
against whom grievance, fancied or.
real, exists.
That the list OF casualties is not
enormously greater is due to the fact
that most of those who commit the
outrages are not expert bomb manu-
facturers. Usually the smaller infer
nal machines fail to 60 off at the right
time, thus giving the intended victim
time to get out of danger.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
stamp out the bomb-throwing cpl
demic but in spite of all the efforts
of the police it continues to grow. In
deed, it is stated that the setting off
of the last bomb in the dynamite
zone was done merely as an express
sion of contempt for the police. Oddly
enough, more than three-fourths of all
the dynamite outrages take place at
just about the same hour four o'clock
in the morning.

and did sacrifice that of her only
brother, Vinson Walsh.
Katherine Elkins has never said
that she would not wed the duke, and
everybody who has watched develop
ments in the romance confidently be-
lieve the royal suitor carried her prom
1se to become his bride. Every prep
aration was made to formally an
nounce the engagement, but it leaked
out ahead Of time, and then the family
OF Miss Elkins sealed their lips. But
the announcement, which will proba-
bly, come very early in the fall, will
not be a surprise.
Miss Mathilde Townsend, who still
holds sway as Washington's greatest
beauty, is spending the summer at Bar
Harbor with her mother, where they
will entertain the Duke d'Albe some
time this summer. The young Spanish
nobleman has been in the train of the
young American beauty for several
years, and his coming to America this
year is regarded as proof of his matri-
monia; intentions toward Miss Town
send.
With Miss Isabel May and the Count
Won Hatzfeldt it looks as if the fancy
of Miss May more than anything else
is responsible for the delay in an an
nouncement Miss May was formerly
associated in her social career with the
Countess Cassini, adopted daughter of
the former Russian ambassador, and
is almost too accustomed to having
good time to think of matrimony. Miss
Mays family is immensely wealthy
and she has enjoyed undisputed reign
here.
With the threatened dissolution of
this lively young quartette of society
bellies Washington will have to look to
other quarters for it's interest before
the next season is over.

NEW YORK'S ancient whipping post,
~ long since abolished has finally
been revived and brought up to date
in the form of spanking-room tech
nically known as "spankatOrium No.
l." Within a single week the city has
instituted both municipal chastisement
and municipal bodily cleanliness. Both
these innovations, however, affect only
the juvenile part of the population.
The spanking-room, the modern
equivalent of the whipping post, is a
newly installed adjunct of the chill
dren's court While the city does not
do the actual chastising, it furnishes
all the necessary outfit, leaving the
final act to the parent of the young
offender. The "spankatorium" is lib
orally furnished with rules, switches,
slippers and the like, together with
several solid chairs and a table, Two
attendants are also on hand to hold
any youngster who may show fight.
OF course, the sentence of a spank
ing is not imposed by the court, but
only offered to the parents as an al
tentative to term in an institution
for their offspring, it being the opinion
of the judge that the spanking will
produce better results. In this idea
he finds ready support among the par.
ents, since in every case where the
spanking has been suggested the sug.
gestion has been promptly acted upon.

Since the first of the year there
