D 1. !. - + = + 1. f. +++ +*+,

About the only mission in life the
New York World seems to have these
days is to convince the Democratic
party that Mr.. Bryan cannot be elect
ed president. Its editorial columns
have been teeming with fulminations
to that intent for months, and as the
days run on the same predictions
grow more numerous and more VEN
omously pointed.
The World follows out its role not
as a Democratic or a Republican
journal, but as monitor that, hav-
ing won, is under no obligation to
support "the other man to whom it
might induce the Democratic conven-
tion to give Bryan's place.
The World is merely after Bryan's
scalp. 1t has named a score of more
distinguished Democrats who "can
be elected" SO it AYERS, but to no
one of them has it even by indirec-
tion pledged its support should he
be made the nominee.
Four years ago the World was in
the same frenzy of fear about Mr..
Bryan. Judge Parker was its ideal
candidate and all it's batteries of
editorial grape and canister were di-
rected to demolish whatever opposi-
tion there might be to him in the
national convention.
After Parker's nomination and he
had sent his famous dispatch to Mr.
Sheehan to be read to the convention
that he regarded 'the gold standard
as firmly and irrevocably establish
ed" the World could not restrain it's
enthusiasm over both the nomination
and the telegram. On July IL 1t
broke out in paeans of praise under
the caption of THE Leader Leads"
1t said:
"In Alton b. Parker the Demo-
cratic party has leader who leads.
A thousand letters of acceptance dis
cussing a thousand political issues
could not have revealed him to the
American people in so favorable or
so convincing light as he himself
did in that crowded hour of Satur-
day when he sent to William f. Shee-'
han the telegram that emancipated
the Democratic, party from demagog
ism and disaster"
The World claimed that the eman-
cipation of the Democracy from dem
agogism and disaster was the result
of it's patriotic effort for the country
and the Democratic party. But did
it stand loyalty by the party it had
and the leader 1t had
found? For while 1t did, but when

The first of the session of 1908
appeared the other day, fathered by
Senator Ackroyd of Oneida county.
| 1t is constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the issuance of state bonds
amounting to 1878, S,4S0, ,4S0.09 for
the improvement of the canals and
waterways of the state. That the
expenditures are figured down to a
scientific nicely is indicated by the
provision for 8 cents.
Every section of the state is pro-
vided for. A bid is made for Kings
county support. 1t is proposed to
improve the Atlantic, Erie and Cow
anus basins. Long Island is also ex-
pected to go on record for the meas
ure, since provision is made for i'm
proving the Peconic, Shipnecock,
Huntington, Hampstead, Oyster,
Great South Jamaica and Flushing
bays.
Undoubtedly the bill will die in
committee. Similar measures have
met that fate for generations. In
the last decade a score OF more of
canal bills of this sort have found
their way into the legislative grist
through the efforts of Captain "Bill"
Clarke of Madison county, one of the
perpetual visitors at the capitol, who
always couples canals and hundreds
of millions of dollars.
But should the committee files be
burdened with legislation of this
sort? No committe would report
such measure, and frequently time
is wasted in giving hearings upon
such propositions. Then there is the
question of the cost of printing bills
of this sort.
The legislative printing bill is a
big annual expense item. Every freak
bill adds financial burden. Should
not this situation be considered by
lawmakers when they are urged to
introduce freak bills of one sort or
another? The session of 1908 should
be marked by the absence of any
more bills of this 'type.-Brook1yn
