ONE VIEW OF 1T.

nNE of the correspondents writing from Den
- yer this morning says that, there was talk
at the Republican convention that Taft might be
defeated; but there is no such talk here about
beating Bryan. The advance guards of delegates
who would like to see Judge Gray of Delaware
nominated, and those who had hoped to win
Bryan delegates TO Governor Johnson journeyed
TO the mountains yesterday to save themselves
the annoyance of having to keep up appearances
when their claims were only met with incredu-
lous smiles"
This correspondent evidently thinks that the
Gray and the Johnson men are bluffing. But Mr..
Marvel was not in the mountains.

Gray and the Vice Presidency.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
OF all the various Democrats whose
names have been advanced in the dis
cussion Of the presidential chances
at Denver, there is none that COM
mands more respect and good will
Throughout the eastern, and probably
the southern, part of the United States
than George Gray's.
Judge Gray has all the fitness. moral
and mental, for the first place on the
democratic ticket, and If Bryan really
wants him, and succeeds in getting
him for second place, the ticket would
unquestionably be strengthened to a.
very considerable extent, among con-
servative Democrats in this section of
the country.
But 1t Is somewhat difficult to con-
ceive Of a willingness on the part of
Judge Gray TO become a candidate for
lvice-president II he must run on a
platform such as Bryan will probably
frame for the Denver convention. He
is not the sort Of man that would be
tempted to sacrifice or compromise his
principles for the sake OF a secondary
association with Bryan.

sent to being nominated for the vice.

much to say. on the strength OF his
record as a man OF integrity and honor,
that Bryan would need first to modify

Editorial Opinion
DR.. RIaaar,s Kisses.
Brooklyn Times.

BROOKLYN Times.
DR.. Hamilton F. Biggar, who for
many years has enjoyed the distinction
OF being Court Physician to John D..
Rockefeller. created Z. mild sensation
at the Homeopathic National Convex
ton in Kansas City when he said that
from the bottom of his heart he would
kiss any woman who would contribute
500 to a fund for the advancement
Of homeopathy. The inducement proved
sufficient to add. several hundreds or
dollars to the fund, but the audience,
who were waiting expeotantly 10 judge
wherein the bottom Of the heart kiss
differed from the soul kiss" were dis
gusted to discover that in most cases
the gallant doctor contcnted himself
with imprinting a chasre salute upon
the lady's hand. 1t was only in ex..
ceptional cases the he ccadescended 10
kiss the lady on the liDs.
There will doubtless be considerable
debate over the question whether a
kiss. even from the bottom of the heart
of Mr.. Roclxefeller's tame doctor, was
worth 500 OF any womn1's money. In
the last ANALYSIS. of course, that is a
e.
concerning which there can be no dis
pute' but the question is open to de-
bate on general principles. It must be
remembered, OF course that the Rookie
feller doctor being presumably an up
to-date physician, realized fully the peril
OF microbe poisoning that turks in a
kiss. and understood exactly the risk
he ran. From this point Of view DR.
Biggar NAV be regarded as entitled to
one Of the Carnegie hero medals, but
It would seem that the fair kisses are
even more worthy Of such decoration
They also were graduates of medical
schools and knew the perils of oscuIa-.
ton That they werc willing not only
TO take the risk but to pay 500 for the
privilege shows the splendid heroism Of
the American woman.

Last Thursday, March 10, was DR.. VIII
liam Tindall's birthday. The birthday
editor didn't know it at the time, and he
doesn't know now to how many years
the doctor confesses. But there's moth
ing the birthday editor would rather do
than foil genuine blushing modesty.
That's why the doctor has the unique dis
tinction of a postponed birthday notice.
DR.. Tindall was born in Wilmington,
Del, several years ago. This is SuhStan
tiated by the fact that he served in the
LIST Delaware Regiment during the civil
war, IN which he was twice slightly
wounded.
After the war DR.. Tindall was graduated
from Georgetown College in medicine and
law and later was secretary to Mayor
Bowen. Gov. H. d. Cooke and Gov Alex
ander r. Shepherd, and has been secre-
tary to the board of Commissioners of
the District of Columbia since the estab-
lishment of the present form of govern
ment. He is the author of a monograph
on the general legislation relating to the
origin and government of the District of
Columbia and Of numerous compilations
of municipal laws ana regulations and
has frequently contributed short sketches
which have appeared in The Evening
Star and other journals ard periodicals.
Right along that line, here's something
the doctor wrote. on his birthday. IT'S
