and John Toomey were tried before
Justice of the Peace Cook Wednes-
day evening on charge OF extor-
ton preferred by A. NJ. Glider, and
were bound over to the district
court under Joint bond OF $1,000.
Attorney Marshall Of Lewistown
handled the case for the state in
place of County Attorney Ayers,
while J. c. Huntoon appeared for
the defendants.
The case is attracting considera-
BILE attention as it involves the To-
cal carpenters union which is en-
deavOring to declare Mr.. Gilder's
building unfair for employing non
union labor. The defendants in
the case constitute committee
who were acting in behalf Of the
union which ordered fine imposed
on Glider in default Of which the
building was to be declared unfair.
The outcome of the case will be
awaited with interest.

owner and chauffeur. The public is inter-
ested. Many of the motor mishaps as a
result of which pedestrians or other street
and road users are Killed or injured are
due to the uncontrolled recklesSness OF
chauffeurs engaged in what has come to
he known as Joy riding that is, motor
ing with the owners car without permits
sion Last night accident occurred
near this city as Il result of which the
chauffeur was himself killed and the
owners car, which had been taken with
out his know ledge. was badly damaged.
in such circumstances, the New York
courts have ruled the owner cannot be
held accounted BILE in damages, and thus the
victim has virtually no redress at law.
Nevertheless the public looks to the own
ers to protect it from the dangerous antics
of their employees by adopting measures
which at the same time protect their
property.
Some weeks ago plan was preached to
form chauffeurs' club in this city. One
of the requirements of membership was
10 be the signing of a pledge not to use
cars without permission. Such an organi-
cation would help materially. 1t Is be-
coming painfully apparent that something
should be done to maintain high stand

among the men who daily intrusted

The Fool Bettor and His Family.

Perhaps the champion fool election bet
tor is the man whose present predicament
is described in the following dispatch
from Denver:
Because he bet that Bryan would
carry the nation ]. W. Walker, president
of the Denver Musical Protective Asso-
citation. has packed his household goods
and, with his family, will leave the state
at once. to remain away four years. in &C
cordance with the terms of the bet
There will be no sympathy whatever
for Walker. He gets what is coming to
him and if it were only matter of his
own comfort and prosperity it might be
hoped that the move out of Colorado will
bring him into difficulties to teach him
perhaps a wholesome lesson and to warn
others from such absurd extremes OF
political enthusiasm. But there is fam
lily to consider in this case. the family
that the man himself failed to consider
when he made his idiotic bet. No one
can tell how much this wager means to
the wife and children. Indeed. however,
few bettors think of their families when
they make or accept propositions in the
field of chance. Rarely does the race
track follower or the patron of the book
makers remember the claims of his wife
and children. Repeatedly such gamesters
have come to grief to the shocking sur
prise of their wives. Seldom does man
with the betting habit take into his con-
fidence those who are entitled to know
of his financial situation. Many woman
is working today to support herself and
children whose husband has wasted his
substance. lost his place and perhaps
even his liberty through his indulgence
in the betting habit So that the Colorado
man who is now bound by the terms of
his election wager TO take his family
out of the state for four years is in no
wise unique in his disregard of his higher
obligations

the voters cannot find it, and seem to
have ceased searching.
On the other hand. the Savannah News
another prominent Georgia journal, charges
the disaster to bad leadership, and de-
mands a change. 1t says:
THE principles of democracy are still
virile and admirable but they need to
be promulgated under changed auspices
We believe those principles to he still
strong i'm the north and west, and that
the masses of the people would rally
under the leadership of strong southern
man as under no other leadership now in
sight
This would be stronger and more per-
suasive if il carried the name of south
ern man, and a catalogue of the princi-
pies which the News thinks are now
democratic The principles of Mr.. Cleve-
land would not suit the friends of Mr..
Bryan, nor have the principles of Mr..
Bryan ever been acceptable to the fol-
lowers of Mr.. Cleveland. Those members
of the old Cleveland guard who supported
the democratic ticket this year did SO
without subscribing to any of the things
for which Mr.. Bryan is distinctly RESPONSE
BILE, and which he insists are the only
true democracy.
First and last, ii is one Of the knottiesi
OF problems. There stands Mr.. Bryan,
serene and erect after three defeats and
with many men in his train willing to try
him again. and there stand his critics,
utterly impatient with him and anxious
to get rid of him, but leaderless, and
dumb when asked TO name a leader. For
tunately for the democracy-so long a
stranger to good fortune-thcrc are three
years in which to solve the problem.

The South and Mr.. BRYAN

With Mr.. Bryan in receptive mood
toward 1912 his opponents i'm the demo-
cratic party must go to work He got the
STAR OF them materially after the defeat
of Judge Parker. but now they have full
warning.
The other day The Star expressed the
opinion that it would be best for the de-
mocracy to drift awhile, and take OBJ
servations. But Mr.. Bryan's latest de-
liverance makes drifting impossible He
still claims the helm, and still insists on
full steam ahead. Will his orders be
obeyed?
The only talk in opposi. ion to Mr.
Bryan plays around mythical persona -.
A good southern man remains the cry.

Mr.. Rockefeller's Fascinating Story.
From the New York Worl


Laying aside all prejudice against
Standard Oil methods, II may be said
that the story told to fewer than one hun
bred persons on the fifth floor of the new
custom house by John d. Rockefeller Is
as fascinating as a novel by Jules Verne,
with the added interest that pertains to
facts as compared with fiction. AS the
narrative progressed from the days when
Mr. Rockefeller and his associates began
business i'm 1862 with only $4,000 and the
earlier wears when competitors who were
bought out by Mr.. Rockefeller refused to
take stock but demanded cash, the imagi-
native auditor could hear the doors of OPP
portunity and of millions closing against
some and opening to others. wonder

the master mind of the greatest corpora

Tammany and Bryan.

Mr. Bryan is not satisfied with Tam
manys performance on election day. and
would like an explanation. He will never
get one that will suit him. M. Murphy
says that Tammany did the best it could.
And probably that is true. The circum-
stances were unusual. and may never be
publicly explained. All that appears is
that Tammany was not satisfied with Mr..
Bryan. and that Mr.. Bryan is not now
satisfied with Tammany The rest should
be silence.
But the public will read in the quarrel
something not complimentary to Mr. Bry-
an, but explanatory of his weakness gen.
orally as candidate this year.
In his first race Mr.. Bryan presented
the stirring spectacle of attractive
young radical defying both the republic
cans and the conservative members of
his own party. His life was clean and
his manner confident, and even those who
differed with him conceded his sincerity.
Tammany supported him then, but grudg-
ingly. and was not his reliance. He was
looking to the west for the tide which
was to sweep him into the White House.
In his second race Mr.. Bryan presented
the spectacle of the same radical still
young and defiant. and undismayedby de-
feat. He was standing upon the old
platform which he had forced his party
TO readopt, and while asking the support
of the east was still looking to the west
for the necessary votes. Tammany again
yielded him a reluctant support.
In this third race Mr.. Bryan presented
the unattractive spectacle of the young
radical turned trimmer, and seeking only
votes. He had toned himself down for
eastern consumption. At warning from
the east. he had put silver, the initiative
and referendum and government owner
snip of railroads in cold storage. He
wore radical plume or two, like the
guarantee of bank deposits and cham
pionshp of the black list and the second
airy boycott, to attract the eyes of the
west and those of the followers of Mr..
Gompers, but in the main his color
scheme was subdued.
This, in way. was appeal to
Tammany Hall. which, although with
out any knowledge of such matters, and
with less care on its own account, must
obey the men sitting behind the cur
tain and pulling the strings. Success
without New York was impossible. and,
as Mr. Bryan was advised, the vote of
New York depended upon Tamm any.
1t will be sad and humiliating day
for this country if ever presidential
result shows that the campaign turned
on New York and that New York's de-
termining vote was controlled by Tam
many Hall AS the power behind the
throne in Washington. Tammany would
represent. what it has often represented
in the metropolis and several times 1T
Albany behind smaller thrones-an ir-
iuence only for loot and for general
evil.

The Evolution of German Parties.

Were the German people posse ssed of
the temperament of the French the pres
! ent political situation might easily de-
velop into an acute crisis, with actual
revolution an imminent possibility. But
being Teutonic instead of Gallo, the Ger
mans, it is assumed, will probably content
themselves with few speeches and per-
haps some demonstrating" followed b.
period of quiet discussion and much
deep thinking Eventually the people will
get what they want.
Just now there is in evidence a sharp
reaction of feeling regarding the con-
ference on Tuesday between the kaiser
and the chancellor. When it was an
nounced that the emperor had yielded to
the wishes of the reichsIag and promised
henceforth to confine himself to official
mediums of communication with and con-
corning foreign governments the public
cheered both ruler and prince But later
the truth became apparent that the Ger
man people were by that pledge brought
no nearer to the goal of. parliamentary
government. This is now the cry of the
radicals, and for a time doubtless there
will be agitation in the reichstag with the
conservative, or office-holding party, stand
lllS Ill OppOSlllOH W Tic CldIlOI, SuppOltcu
by the liberals, this coalition forming
the bloc upon which Won Buelow relies
to prevent further encroachments upon the
field of imperial prerogative.
1t is pointed out in this connection that
there is no strong party feeling in Ger
many. The reichstag comprises numer-
Gus groups. of all shades of political senti-
ment, ranging from the extreme conserva-
tives, who support the kaiser in his most
imperious performances, 10 the equally
extreme socialist or republican. Broadly
! speaking there are four general divisions
- the conservatives, the liberals, who
stand between the two extremes; the
radicals and the clericals. No one group
possesses the balance of power. The fact
is that parliamentary government is at
this time impossible in Germany, and
doubtless the kaiser has played his hand
in this game in full knowledge of this
weakness of the opposition. He can at
ford to concede the semblancc of authority
to the peoples representatives when they
are unable to grasp the substance.
But this does not mean that the kaiser
has won the fight. He may have in effect
blockaded the enemy, but by doing SO has
given it the incentive and opportunity to
consolidate. 1t may confidently be pre-
dicted that from now on the German peo-
pie will seek the solidified organization Of
a party in the rechstag representing the
demand for responsible government.
Thus the very failure to secure what
they want is likely to supply the cohesive
force which is now lacking. The German
people are patient and philosophical, and
if they set their minds upon the attain
ment of a truly constitutional system of
government they will surely win some
day

"Joy Riding"

Ii should not be difficult for motor car
owners to devise Il method of management
which will stop the unauthorized use of
their machines by chauffeurs. Assuming
that the public garages are run on strict
business principles. a system of checks
might readily be instituted whereby own
ers could be kept Informed regularly of
the goings and comings of the machines.
Under such system it would be impossi-
BILE for a chauffeur TO take his employers
motor out for surreptitious run without
being detected within few hours or days
The knowledge that the owner was being
regularly posted would serve as a brake
on the chauffeurs inclination to take lib
critics with the car.
This Is not merely q matter between
