The Argus.)
Mr.. John Temple Graves. Who some
months ago urged that Mr. Bryan
should nominate Mr.. Roosevelt for the
presidency, now writes in one of Mr..
Hearst's papers, of which he is the
chief editorial writer, this:
BRYAN is playing lone hand. He
is winning by sufferance and of course
does not focalize any eager interest
upon the result The remarkable part
of his campaign is that the Independent
Democratic newspapers and the mi
nOrity of the Democratic leaders do not
wish him and that the people are in
the main Indifferent to him. The
Washington Post, the Charleston News
and Courier, the Louisville Courier
Journal, the Nashville American and
such papers are bitterly opposed to
him. Daniel of Virginia and Jones of
Nevada and others have openly in

First as to these papers. The owner
of the Washington Post is also the
owner of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
John L. Mclean is well known in
Washington as the most prominent cor
pOration magnate of the city. In Gin
cinnati he enjoys the same sources of
profit. So much for the Washington
Post

is well known asa the organ of the
Southern railroad. The Nashville
American is controlled by what is
known in the middle southwest as
the Louisville and Nashville road.

heart Colonel Henry Watterson was
never opposed to Mr.. Bryan. Indeed,
he never was opposed to any true
Democrat. Colonel Watterson has
been the best Journalist standard bear

known in the middle west. He oppos-
ed Mr.. Bryan once, but for his opposi-
ton he has long since been forgiven.
He returned to the fold with enthu-
siasm, and his new allegiance Is thor

California was distinctly against the
administration - and of course Taft
stands as the administrations candi-
date-until the entire battleship fleet
of the United States was sent TO San
Francisco. That magnificent pageant

most unlikely that the secretary of
war, who because of his continued alb
sence from his Office might more prop
erly be called the secretary of the eX-
terror, can get its delegates. Michi-
gan has elected two delegates already,
and they are for Uncle Joe Cannon.
or course two delegates out of twenty
eight amount to little, but the spirit
that gave the first delegates to Cannon
is likely to be effective when the 9th
ers come to be chosen. Minnesota will
probably give her twenty-five dele

is improbable, but from his own state
and the neighboring state he will get
at least a complimentary vote. The

hat he was a resident of Ohio and a
nonresident of Illinois, and that there
lore he had no right to act as admin
istrator under appointment by an Hi
nois court, and no right to plead to
the jurisdiction; and, accordingly sus-
tanned demurrer TO his plea, and
upon the plaintiffs insisting on his
plea, rendered Judgment against him.
Upon this question the supreme court
holds that the federal court could not
prevent the administrator from acting
as such, nor pass over the plea to the
jurisdiction to determine something
else first; and that the question of
the right of the administrator to act
as administrator was for the court
that had appointed him to that office.
The court said that it expressed no
opinion as to whether a consolidated
interstate company was one corpora
ton or many. If it is many, the sup
position of course would be that it is
a different corporation in each of the
states of it's origin, then a suit brought
in one state upon a cause of action
which had accrued in another might
be defeated as a suit against the
wrong company.
The Judgment was reversed with
costs, and the case remanded to the
circuit. court of the United States
for the southern district of Illinois
with directions to remand it to the
state court.

Mr. Graves speaks of Daniel of Vir
ginia having openly insuited Nh Rry-
an. SO much the worse for Mr.. Daniel.
SO much the worse for Mr.. Graves
that he should. after an incident re-
GREETED by all parties to it, give it re-
newed publicity. Senator Daniel has
probably been quite as much regretful
of the incident which occurred be
tween him and Mr.. Bryan rs any one
else. lie will probably be more re-
gretful than any one else that John
Temple Graves should have dragged it
out again into publicity. Once in
awhile public man errs, and Senator
Daniel erred when he accused Mr.
Bryan of taking his opinions from the
Independence league. 1t is matter
of some interest that Mr. Graves, who
is now the salared employee of the
gentleman who finances the Independ-
ence league, should announce i'll his
newspaper that Senator Daniel had in
suited Mr.. Bryan by making the
charge that he took his views from
the league managed by the employer
of Mr.. Graves.
Mr.. Graves also informs a waiting
world that former Senator Jones of
Nevada openly insulted Mr.. Bryan.
About this l know nothing. AS rule,
the man who offers an insult is. in
my judgment. even less to he admired
than the man who suffers the insult.
But really an affront offered by Sen
atOr Jones of Nevada is not altogether
matter of sorrow. In years gone by
Senator Jones was one of the best
fighters for the correction of the none
tary system which the nation knew.
l have his book, or book bearing his
name, on the money question and real
ly believe it, to be one of the best
works on the subject ever issued. He
was courageous enough to leave the
Republican party on the money ques-
ton. But one defeat destroyed his
courage. He has done nothing since
for the Democracy.

The February American Magazine


The American Magazine is developing
a definite character at a rapid rate
What that character is may be sug-
gested by simply mentioning one of
the features of the February number
Mr.. DOoley" on Hard Times, with
McCutcheon cartoons. The tone of
the periodical is one of light humOr
and unfailing entertainment with a
solid basis of the most serious inten-
ton. After "Mr. Dooley," (whO. by
the way, is on the staff of The Amer
lean Magazine and is writing for no
other public9tion) comes the first of
Ray Stannard Bakers articles on THE
Tragedy of the Negro in the North, =
as brilliant and interesting a piece OF
reporting as Mr.. Baker ever did. Then
comes an extraordinary account of
Abraham Lincoln's boyhood, told by a
cousin and a playmate of Linculn's
who held little Abe in his arms u
hours after he was born. Upton Sin
clair's contribution. 10 the FEBRUARY
number is The Metropolis a story
which reveals the eXtravagant and fan
tastic life OF the super-rich in and
about New York City. Ida NJ. Tarbell

Teller" Lincoln Steffens. tells the
story of Rudolph Spreckels, the 18th
or 18th son of the sugar king who has
become the first. The story tellers
are: Marion Hill, Adele Marie Shaw,

The suggestion of Secretary Taft,
that Senator's Foraker and Dick be
made delegates-at-large to the national
convention, is established by prece-
dent. as it is very common to name
the senators of the state as these dele
gates. If Taft instructions should be
attached, it will put them in a peculiar
position, and one which will cause
weeping and guashing of teeth.

HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.

Cotton has been handsomely adj
vanced until middling spots are worth
about IL cents and July contracts In
New Orleans are not far behind the
spot price OF today. The recent gains
in the price of cotton are wholly just1-
fed by the outlook in the goods mar
ket. Cotton goods are frmsr M
higher, and cotton yarns have been
marked up.
Fall River thinks the turning point
has been reached. Buyers are IN neeo
| of goods, and they are expected to do
| enough business to keep the mills run
ming throughout the summer. The fall
and winter will take care of them
selves.
Doubtless the curtailmsnt in produc'
ton has had a good effect upon buyers
and the market in general. The stocks
In the hands of jobbsrs are not large
and q demand approaching norma
would soon send a flood Of orders t.
the mills. Unless unexpected changs'
occur, cotton will continue to &c NJ

in the cotton belt and partly becaus

stronger than it has been since the de
