 The Star believes that the Demo- cratic party is bigger than any one man, and while we have profound respect for the ability and sincerity of MT. Bryan, we know that the time has come for the party to look in an other direction for a leader. MT. Bryan has been thrice nominated and as many times defeated. In the last contest he had the united and of the nation, and his defeats grow more conspicuous each time. MT. Bryan should not again attempt to be nominated. If he does the Democracy should rise up as one man, tell him that he has been tried Sufficiently. Surely MT Bryan will retire and not further infliot a patient and long suf- fering Democracy.

THE SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CON-
 faREaA

If. through some unfortunate mis- chance 1t would be lmpossibls to hold the Southern Commercial congress. as planned. its promoters might justly feel that the results already achieved have paid them for the labor they have put behind the cause. The com ing Congress through the preliminary announcements concerning it has al- ready aroused an interest and attract ed an attention to Southern resources that was never known before. It has already given the south the widest and best advertising that it has re- ceiyed in years. In various parts of the country the papers are comment ing on the new spirit of the South ern States and alluding to the South as 6 section in which in the near fu- ture a remarkable development is as- sured. The Chicago papers volcing the interest of commercial Chicago, which is just now moving actively for 6 closer business relation with the South have been especially generous in their comments on the commercial and industrial possibilities of the South.
 The chief purpose of the Congress Is to attract the attention of the Uni. ted States to the remarkable natural resources Of the Southern, States, re- sources. which have 50 far been only partially developed. The Congress is designed for the South to catch pros- perity on the rebound so that when capital has overcome it's timidity of the past twelve months it will come to the South where 1t is assured of the warmsst welcome and the fullest returns.
 Of the Congress 1t has been written:
 It is to give men of the South a more solid faith in the commercial destiny of the South; 1t is to disabuse the mind Of the world In relation fo the misapprehension regarding health and education: 1t Is to inform the world of what the South is and has: it Is to bring the South and North together at one time and place at the first psychological moment of the kind in the history of the country for the National Conservation Commits sion will sit at that time Go list the assets of the United States and the great voice of the South will bS heard tb- interpretation.

There seems . prospect that the very lowest and dirtisst form of Re- publican politics is to be tried in ore- son in connection with the choice of United States Senator. Last year they had primary in which both. the great parties participated and both were equally bound to abide the re- suit. The vote resulted in the choice of MT. Chamberlain, a Democrat, and by all the rules of fairness and jus tice in such matters the Legislature should confirm the choice of the peo- pie. but Republican Legislature has been chosen, and the suggestion is freely made and discussed that this body will disregard the voice of the people at the polls and elect Re- publican Senator. If this suggestion is carried out 1t will be about the meanest exhibition of partisan poli- tics we have noticed lately.

RESTRICTIONS
ON MARRIAGES
OF CATHOLICS

Pittsburg, Pa. Jan. GA pastoral let
ter TO be issued early In the approaching
Lenten season by Bishop Caneln OF the
Pittsburg diocese OF the Catholic church.
as we'll as other bishops. will impose new
reg eulations governing marriages upon all
who profess the Catholic religion.
The letter will give full force and ef-
feet to the rescript or Pope Plus X. pro-
mulgated among Catholic clergy OF the
world several months ago. providing that
no priest Of one parish shall unite In
marriage persons who are residents of
another parish The purpose is to throw
around the marriage ceremony greater
safeguards than ever before
Heretofore the policy OF the church In
America has been quito liberal
Under the new regulations marriages
celebrated outside the parish OF the resi-
dence OF either the bride or the groom
will be declared Illicit and such marri-
ages will be possible only by false rep
resentations.
The law will be practically prohibitory
Of elopements and OF all ill-consdered
marriages." said local official OF the
church. 'It will place an additional OBJ
stable In the way of the marriage OF
Catholics with non-Cathollcs, TO which
the church has always been opposed as
almost invariably productive OF unhappi-
ness.
Tho clergy of a parish are supposed
to know their people and II persons de-
string to wed within the church are COM
PEELED to do so under the eyes OF their
own religious guides. there will be fewer
errors and subsequent heart-burnings."

CONGRESS MAY
BAR HARD LABOR
FOR CRIMINALS

washington. Jan. 6.--The joint commit
tee OF congress to revise the work of the
special commission to codify the laws
will report today To both houses OF
congress ON the revision OF the criminal
laws.
Many important changes have been
made In the report OF the codihcation
commission. The revision OF the civil
laws has not yet been completed and
may not be before the adjournment OF
the present session OF congress. More
than 10 week were given TO the revision
OF the criminal laws alone.
Among the important changes made
was the adoption of uniform style OF ex-
preston. In the existing laws different
wording is used in different parts OF the
laws to express the same meaning. This
has been changed In the revision. An
other important change is the dropping
OF minimum punishment wherever II is
provided In the existing law Only In one
or two isolated cases is Il retained in the
revised criminal code
Another expression dropped by the re-
visionists is punishment at hard labor"
That omission from the new code was
deemed essential because most of the
federal prisoners are sent TO state prisons
and the imposition OF hard labor is. in
the Judgment OF the committee, a mat
Ter OF prison regulation.
