TAFT OR BRYAN?

Though the national campaign has not yet begun, indications point steadily to the election of Judge Taft. The defections from republican ranks which the democrats professed to expect are not in process of realiza- tion and the prospect of realization becomes more remote with the flight of time.
 Important labor unions here and there renounce allegiance to Com pers as a political leader and his as sumption that he is one is theraten- ing his position as a labor leader. Laboring men have always found a close relation between plenty of work at good wages and republican control of the nation. It has happened that when the republicans have not been in control there was little work at low wages. That is a stronger ar gument than any that GOmpers can present. It is a stronger bid for the labor vote than the vague promises of Mir. Bryan and the democratic platform to improve the condition of labor.
 The negro defection shows signs of becoming nil Whatever advantages the negroes now enjoy have come to them through the republican party. Those rights and advantages of which they have been deprived have been taken from them in democratic states. That fact overshadows the injustice of the Brownville affair, of the re- sponsibility for which, by the way, MT. Taft has been dissolved.
 The business interests are steadily raIlying to the support of MT. Taft as they might have been expected to do, for there was never from his in cipient candidacy a want of confi- dence in his ability, good judg- ment and fairness, the only qualifi- cations of a candidate which the bus mess men of the country demand.
 On the other hand, there has been for twelve years a woeful want of confidence in the judgment or fair ness of MT. Bryan. Nor has confi- dence in him been established by the declaration that he is not the Bryan of old; that he has grown wiser with experience and age.
 Both parties have declared for ju- dicial reforms. The demand of the democrats is loud and insistent for sweeping changes. The republicans find rather the need of a legal defini tion of judicial procedure.
 But to whatever extent reform is desirable to whom would the intel ligent voters of the country prefer to submit the work of reformation, MT. Taft, himself an eminent and ex- perienced jurist, or MT. Bryan, who possesses no judicial qualifications | and has been a lawyer only in name?

Considering the condition of the treasury, the loss of those two mil lion gallons of whiskey consumed by fire while in bond at a Kentucky dis tillery wll be keenly felt. The tax would have amounted to enough to square the deficit for at least two days.

The most disgracefur thing about the Springfield, H., riot was the cowardice of the first lot of guards men who allowed the mob to disarm them, and even take a gatling gun away from them. A sweep of the latter machine across the front of the approaching rioters would prob call out the rest of the state militia. If there was ever a time when a soldier should have believed that his duty was to kill, it was in Spring field.

Where the President Buys His Coffee

phone and expressed his apprecia-
citation. He told the head of the firm
to send up a couple of pounds of that
coffee to see if the brand was as ex-
cellent as the spelling OF course the
merchant put on his best touches and
sent the brownest and most fragrant
Java and Mocha straightway to the
White House. The beverage ready to
serve was as fine as even the presi-
dent had anticipated, so a permanent
order to furnish ten pounds a week
was left with this fortunate firm
But the cream of the joke and one
which has not been explained to Mr..
Roosevelt was that the painting of the
sign was a mistake-the work of an
old German sign artist who was not
particular about the way the letters
are strung together. The merchant
raised a great commotion when the
wagon returned with ''rost" conspicu-
ously on it, and it was to be returned
the next day for repairs. Now this
legend has been adopted as the trade
mark of the firm. and very likely a
miniature White House may be paint
ed on one side, as the Britishers do
when they have the exclusive custom
of the reigning families for their com
modities.

of the national machinery, and he took
the easiest means at hand and called
first. Many of the governors found
time to return the visit Others could
not, but they all met James Bryce and
took his measure just as he took
theirs. Mr.. Bryce entertained Bryan,
John Mitchell, Andrew Carnegie and
many of the governors at dinner. If
any man on this continent will know
what this meeting of the governors
meant, it will be the publicist from
Great Britain. He intends to write of
it Also and it is comfortable to realize
that he has obtained all his data at
first hand and from reliable sources.
Mr.. Bryce has been a revelation to
the Observation-Disclosures ndbox kind of
diplomatist usually assigned to the
Washington mission. He has taken
a high ground, and the pace he has set
is not altogether pleasing to his col
leagues. Many of the ambassadors
now in this country would cling to the
old ways if they felt secure in SO do
ing But Mr.. Bryce has revolutionized
the service. The ambassadors cannot
draw the line socially, even politically.
They must get in the hmelight, make
speeches, give interviews, mingle with
the common herd Such men as can
not do this are being called home.

THE man who comes after James
i Bryce to represent his Britannia
majesty will have a hard role to fill.
The mighty wall of reserve which a
whole generation of Britishers had
built around the mission to Washing
ton has crumb1ed into nothing. Mr..
Bryce moves on foot and with the
crowd. He knows more people in
Washington, New York and other
large cities where he visits frequently
than the majority of the natives. For
a man past the allotted age, 20 years,
he is amazingly energetic
He alone of all the ambassadors
and ministers stationed in Washing
ton called on every one of the gov
errors. If strict etiquette were OBJ
served, the governors should have
called on him. But Mr.. Bryce knew
that these heads of the various COM
monwealths came to Washington on

I'VE have habit of proudly apply

I'VE really think that it applies to us.

In reality we elect the members of a

Real Reason Why LaFollette Failed

nobly. Mr.. Stone had been delegated
to aid Senator La Toilette in his fill

presence of Carter or Scott noticed
on the floor of the senate. Several

know where the trio spent the greater
part of the day.
Senator Gore lost the filibuster be-
cause of his blindness. Some time be-
fore he concluded Mr.. Stone slipped
into chair beside him and said he
was ready to take hold at any time.
Mr.. Gore said: "All right and be-
iieved Mr.. Stone was present when
he sat down. Instead, Mr.. Stone was
taking a snooze in the Democratic
cloakroom,

THE real manner in which the La

bill was lost furnishes one of the most
amusing series of incidents in the his

in great measure to Senators Scott

they are the champion entertainers

testimony on the subject of their
claims. Several dispensers of refresh
