THREATENED REPETITION
OF EVElAND DISASTER,

Grand Rapids, Mich, Mar. s.
Grand Rapids today was threatened
with a repetition of Cleveland's trag-
edy of yesterday on even a larger
scale. Fire broke out in the laboratory
of the central high school while 1,200
pupils were il the midst of their NOR
ming work. The signal for the fire
drill was given, and the children
marched out in perfect order. The
building was emptied in two and one4
half minutes. The central high school
is overcrowded and the stairways
and exits are inadequate so that fears
of a possible panic have long been
felt; but the fire drill today proved
effective. The fire did comparatively
little damage.

it was Republican. With a Democratic
Senate, which Mr. Bryan's election
w,aid render probable, there would lie
almost no question that he would don /
nate Congress.
Even if the President can put no laws
upon the atuJe books, his power is
enormous and he could work untold
havoc in the public affairs. MIR. Roose-
welt has not caused the enactment of
all the laws againat trusts which he as
urged, but he has been the cause, to a
great extent, Of upsetting the legIti-.
mate business of the country by care
less agitation. A President having un-
safe ideas about finance could 50 conduct
the Treasury department sas to impair
the public credit, cause a run upon tie
Government for the redemption of its
obligations in gold and create panics ard
injure business. He would be able to
select assjudges of the Supreme Court
men who could change the Constitution
and in effect abolish the reserved rights
of the States, which seems to be Mr..
Bryan's plan. In case his theories were
enacted into laws he could appoint judg-
es who would decide that thes plan of
Federal license of corporations, .of Fed
eral partnership with the trusts, the
limitation of products, 1.-THE regulation of
prices and government ownership of
railroads are constitutional.
Even were it true that the, hands of
Mr. Bryan as President could be tied by
the Senate, is a man whose hands have
to be tied to keep him FROM. trying to
have enacted unwise laws the kind of
man the people want? At this particu-
lar time, more than in ordinary times,
the people wanti a statesman gin the
White House. They want a man of
prudence, with the spirit ofIwisdom and
understanding, the spirit of council and
strength and knowledge, who can guide
the ship of state away from the rocks
and shadows into the commercial waters
of prosperity. They want a man of
performance and achievement, one more
intent upon charging and encouraging
business and giving people employment
than in declaring that mills must be
shut down or sold and that factories
must reduce their output. If we follow
Mr. Bryan, with his various panaceas
and nostrums for all theiills of the body
polite, real and imaginary, we seem to
be journeying, as Governor Hughes said
in a land of dreams. If we follow Mr..
Taft, we are in land of achievement,
of success, of common sense, which will
lead us to renewed prosperity, to revolv-
ing wheels and humming industries.

HoW Bryan Could hyure
The Country # Elected

We continue to hear from time to time
of men who purpose to vote for MIR.
Bryan, not because he is the better man
for President, not because he is a safe
statesman and d wise ruler. but because
his.hands, would be tied by Republican
Senate and he could do no harm. Of all
the astonishing arguments in favor of
the election of a Presidential candidate
this is the most astonishing and the
most uncomplimentary to the candidate.
That men should be so npatriotic as to
be willing to put man in the Presiden-
tial office who, according to their own
admission should not be elected without
having his. hands tied, IS almost incon-
ceivabt
The fallacy of the theory that Mr..
Bryan as President could do no harm is
apparent to a who take the trouble to
consider the question. In the event of
/ Mr. Bryan election there is no assur-
ance whatever of Republican Senate.
There would almost Of necessity be a
Democratic House along with a Demo-
cratic President, and tidal wave which
would carry Mr.. Bryan INTO office would,
in all probability, change the complexion
of the Senate. The Democratic party,
in order to control the Senate, must
gain II Senators. On or before the
middle of the next Presidential term
that is to say, March 4, 1911 the terms
of no less than AZ Republican Senators
expire, and out of that number, if Mr.
Bryan is elected, it is probable that the
Senate would be Democratic during the
last two years of Mr.. Bryan S admins
tration. But, whether it would be
+ Democratic or not, the great power of
! the Executive would, with reasonable
certainty, control in some degree Con-
gress, and especially as to confirmation
of appointments.
Even if 'he Senate should remain Re-
publican during the whole of Mr.. Bry-
ans term, Mr.. Bryan himself feels
confident that he could force it to carry
out his ideas. He expressed this belief
and declared this purpose in his speeches
in Nebraska Wednesday, when he said,
as he has said in effect frequently dur
ing the campaign: II should feel NIGH
ty lonesome in Washington,if both the
Senate and the House We're against me,
but if you give me the House. am sure
we will make the Senate feel lone
some. In other words he would use
all the power in his office and of his ad-
ministration to coerce the Senate into
acquescence in his program. and with
the backing of radical popular major
ity he might possibly succeed, even if
