Editorial Notes.
By J. D. Watson.

National politics are about as badly
mixed as six months ago and it is about as
hard to guess the nominees now as it was
then.
Among the Republicans, Taft has big
lead for the nomination, but it is lead
that can be overcome and turned into de-
feat. If the other candidates combine

every reformer in the state by saying,
Il have no adverse criticism to place
upon the legislature which met last sum-
rner.''
We then wrote the editorial, Gov.
Smiths Unfortunate Speech" which
showed how great was Our establishment
at this sudden and complete somersault.
What is the secret of the Governors
inconsistent, vacillating conduct?
The Hoke Smith who was enraged
against recreant legislators, and who
meant to go into all parts of the state de-
nouncing the men whose votes had made
it impossible for him to redeem his
pledges, was the honest determined re-
former whom we had elected.
But the Senatorial bee came buzzing
about Hoke Smiths ear, and Hoke was
fascinated by the sound. AS prospective
candidate for the Senate against Clay, it
was not to Hoke's interest to "place ad
verse criticism upon the legislature"
which had fallen so disastrously short of
what Hoke had said that it ought to do.
Our arraignment of the Governor for
his complete change of front was pub
Ished in Nov, 1907. The Glover mat
ter had not then come before the Gov
ernor at all much less could it have
been known what his decision would be.
The only points which we are now
making on the Governor that were not
made before the Glover matter came up,
are those which are caused by the sub
sequent conduct of the Governor.
We could not anticipate his sudden
change on the early primary.
Not being a prophet, we had to wait
until he Topped, before we could discuss
the flop. So, also, on the matter of the
concentration of power in the four big
cities; we had to wait until the Com
mittee took that revolutionary action be-
fore we could condemn it,
The conclusion of the whole matter is
this:
Those criticisms which the Jeffersonian
levels at Hoke Smith concerning matters
which antedate the execution of Glover
are but repetitions of criticisms which
were published before it was known what
the Governor would do with Glover.
Those criticisms which are not repeti-
tions, as above stated, relate to matters
which have occurred since Glover's execu-
ton, and which could not possibly have
been anticipated.
We respectfully request the Governor
to quit nisrepresenting us.

do it is very apt to be Taft on the first

Bit you can not tell. Some enthusiastic

it will all be over but the shouting This
is what is apt to happen, too, unless Taft
is nominated on the first ballot
Mr.. Bryan is still in the lead of all can
didates for the Democratic nomination.
but Governor johnson is growing strong
er and stronger every day, while the
Bryan lieutenants seem to be losing inter-
est to certain extent.
There is already strong opposition to
Mr.. Bryan, and, with man like Johnson
leading this opposition, things may not be
entirely as Mr.. Bryan would wish when
the Denver convention meets. Already
several States that were considered GER
tain for Bryan have refused to instruct
their delegates and add to this the row
among the Democrats in New York and
you have the answer that Mr.. Bryan must
sell to Murphy and Tammany Hall and
be dictated to by Murphy and Tammany
Hall to get the New York delegation.
Iii HIS IWO plCVlOuS NdllI N1I
Bryan believed that he had to have the
support of Tammany Hall to be elected
President He made a deal with Tam
many each time, and, as we all know, was
defeated.
If Mr.. Bryan secures the Democratic
nomination this year, he may be wise
enough to avoid another such blunder, but
if he is not, he will be defeated again.
There are thousands of honest Demo
Gratis throughout the country who will
not support any man who allows such
men as Murphy and Fingy Connors to
boss him.
The Democrats of New York have had
another split, which means that New
York is almost certain to 60 Republican
this year.
}. Murphy has kicked McCarren off the
State Executive Committee, and McCar-
rem and his allies are swearing vengeance.
New York will send an uninstructed dele
cation to the Denver convention, but
each delegate will be Murphy selection
and will vote as Murphy tells him to vote.
1t is nice state of affairs when great
party like the Democratic party is con-
trolled by such notorious characters as
Murphy, Fingy Connors and Pat McCar-
rem.
The only fit place for either Murphy
or McCarren is Sing Sing, and they both
ought to be there in stripes instead of
where they can corrupt politics and legis-

land, to be constitutional but the Su-
preme Court said NO..
This one may seem to meet the defects
of the other in every particular where the
Court said it was defective, but the Court
has not said so yet.
Until it is decided Constitutional it
will not do to set Our hearts on its being
SO.
Good lawyers and Common Sense may
say that it is good law and all that, but
you must give the courts whack at it
before it can be said to be Constitutional.

ment that has drifted further away from
what it was originally intended to be than

which it is.
The President is threatening to use his
Big Stick on the Senate with all of his
might
The President wants four battleships
and Congress has only appropriated the
money for two. Now comes the news
from Washington that unless the Senate
amends the bill and makes an appropria-
ton for four ships the President will veto
the one providing for two.
Before starting back to his home in
Lincoln, Neb., with his family, yesterday,
William Jennings Bryan sent his ultima
tum to Charles F. Murphy: "No candi-
dates for Vice-President need apply at
Denver whose delegation failed to vote
for my nomination for President on the
first ballot" This referred to the Vice
Presidential boom for Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler, which has been worked up for
use in case of need by Murphy and Con-
nors. He indicated that he was not averse
to the Chan1er candidacy; in fact, would
like to encourage it, provided New York
State would fall gracefully into line, but
he made it perfectly understood that if
New York doesn't line up for him it can
not expect any consideration from "h1s
convention" One result of. B1yans visit
to New York was that a thorough under
standing was reached between him and
Tammany Hall. This does not mean that
they came to an agreement, for Murphy
has not wholly given up the idea of OPP
posing Bryan at Denver. Murphy was
: out of town yesterday.-New York
World
There may be some doubt in some peo-
pies minds as to who will be the Demo
cratic nominee, but there is evidently no
doubt in Mr.. Bryan's mind He speaks as
if the convention were his and he had the
nomination in his vest pocket.

 Wall Street Summary ,,,.,, s,vaat
 Never in the history of Wal Strees was there evinced a more deter nurpose in reform the center oa American finance than In the pas. twelve months. From every quaree.t ts ,s saanoed broadsides were direcheo fa 1aInst that citadel to congress sln aeveral states in the daily press anu in the magazines. Even at the Denver convention an attempt was made tV jncornorate into the democratic plat form a plank recommending that slI exchanges dealing In stocks ana bonus of corporations engaged in interstate commerce be under the control anu Jurisdiction of the department or coth- merce and labor.
 The ferocity of the campaign was only euualed by the versatility with which 1t was directed and the futility of the movement can be likened to nothing save the hysterical antirallroaa crusade of an year earlier. which ter minated in disaster and disappointment alike for the carriers. the people. anu the agitators. Unlike the latter under taking, however, the legislative en- actment against Wall Street were few and this despite the utterances of Pres ident Roosevelt. Mir. William Jennings Bryan, and the over whelming and destructive visitation of mid-Novem- Der.
 It was intended to limit or abolish speculation on the stock or commodity exchanges of the country by pro- hibiting dealings in futures and pre- venting shortselling and spacious, in- deed, were the means employed to these ends. but by no means unpre- cedented. England, asa matter of historic truth, had upon her statute books a law prohibiting short sal>s from 1734 to 1880. and during this interval of a century and a quarter 1t was absolutely ignored.
 The state of New York between the years 1872 and 1858 was subject to a similar enactment, which was more honored in the breach than in the observance. In the latter year this restriction was repeated. So numerous have been the attempts to curb and restrain speculation in the history of civilized countries, 1t may, be assumed with entire propriety. that the busi- ness and machinery of speculation awaken dlstrust and suspicion among many to whose misconccpti ms and ignorance regarding the functions of speculation all hostility is directly traceable.
