Issue On Which The
CAMPAIGN VIII Suing

In All interview in last weeks News
Major Randolph Barton, speaking OF
the nomination OF Mr.. Taft for Pres-
dent, expressed what is in everybody's
mind when he referred to his splendid
equipment and training Tor the Office.
There is a great deal oi humbuggery
i'll politics-in political platforms and
in political interviews, but it is not dif
ticult to tell the true from the false.
Major Barton's talk rings true. He
spoke the things his neighbors and
fellow-citizens are thinking Like
great many other Democrats, Major
Barton doesn't need time for con
sideration with Mr. Bryan on one side
and Mr.. Taft on the other-the issue
is made up. Many Democratic news
papers are equally ou,spoken. The
Brooklyn Eagle. for instance, a news
paper which supports Democratic can
didates whenever il can do so without
stultiiying itself says;
For Mr. Bryan on no platform
whatever will the Eagle be.
For Mr. Bryan under no circum-
stances whatever will the Eagle be.
For no platform and no candidate
whatever OF MIR. Bryans making or
prescription will the Eagle be-
The Eagle neither waited for Chi
cago, to say the foregoing nor is il
waiting for Denver, To qualify the fore
, going.
The Eagle is historically and logi-
cally Democratic. wholly anti Bryan
and wholly anti-Populist.
That is to say, in the minds OF all
but hidebound partisans Mr. Bryan
has come TO represent socialistic
| programme, government paternalism.
Voters who like that sort OF thing will
support Mr. Bryan. but there is no
reason why those who do not like il,
whether they are Democrats or Re-
publcanS, should do so. As Mr.. Bar
ton saws: The difference between
the policies oi the Democratic party
and the Republican party have now so
completely disappeared that the Presi-
dent aS a man is OF greater Importance
I than ever Compared with Mr. Bryan.
| Secretary Taft is a safe man for this
country. He is Rryan'S superior in
experience in public lie. in judicial
temperament and. think. in political
sincerity" That is the exact truth as
the man in the street sees IT, Appar-
cu,v il is the truth as Mr.. BRYAN sees
/. He is constantly accusing the Re-
publicauS oi stealing his thunder and
ni appropriatinV his issues In the
circumstances, the campaign is bound
tn hinge largely on the characters 81
the cand'datcs-Tait V. Bryan-and
on that issue the Republicans are ex-
cccdjnrly fortunate

Terrence painted both houses, one Devoe,
151 gallons; the other with another paint
sold at same price; % gallons. That 25
gallon paint is weak and 10 per cent

cradle number OF which have recently
appeared in circulation in this city
have raised the interesting question
as to whether they may legally be
passed, An arrest has already been
made for so doing and the person ar
rested, while admitting frankly that he
bought these dollars for seventy-five
cents apiece from a Wall Street firm
and then passed them at face value,
contends that he has committed no
crime since the coin in questions were
issued by the government. On the 9th
er hand the magistrate who ordered
the complaint drawn against the pris-
oner asserts that there is cheating
somewhere and consequently fraud
No charge Of counterfeiting is made
and the defense asserts that the mere
fact that coin is purchased for less
than its face value but more than its
actual bullion value does not make its
circulation a crime. On this basis il
is contended the passing of the pre-
sent silver dollar would be wrong. Al
together the case when it comes to
trial promises some interesting fea-
lures.

While the country has managed to
survive without a poet laureate up to
now this dehcinecy will soon be sup
piled if the curious bill which New
Yorker will introduce at the next ses-
sion of Congress is passed. This bill
is intended solely to create by legis-
lative methods the office OF poet to
the federal government. The framer
OF the measure argues that there is
already an official historian to the fed
eral government and that the glory
and greatness of the country make an
official poet an absolute necessity
Furthermore, he modestly provides in
his bill that he shall be the first oc-
cupant Of the next office, mot for any
financial reasons but purely for the
honor Of it" as he puts it, So if the
Office is created it will not only be
brought about by New Yorker but
filed by one as well. The method OF
selecting the proper man for such a
job would naturally prove a difficult
one. Competitive trials it is feared
would result in placing the judges in
asylums. Also if the official poet had
to write campaign verses the matter
would be still further complicated.
There is certain to be highly inter
esting debate when this bill comes
before Congress

of the currency of the country, has

man has just been arrested in this city
for passing trade dollars, at one time

coin has never been repudiated and
from the viewpoint of the layman
should still pass for its face value.
Most of these dollars are so valuable
because of their supposedly scarcity as
to keep them out Of the field of trade

litarian and selfish. A Pullman car
through which about forty pounds Of
rice have been sprinkled is about as
difficult a job in the house cleaning
line as can be found. For that reason
the porters are against rice throwing
since it means much work at the end
of the run Furthermore before the
rice is cleaned up it does not add to
the attractiveness of the car, for which
the conductor is responsible. Hence

ESTILL WILL NOT
BE A CANDIDATE

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 21.-E
Is now believed that the entries In
the supreme court race have closed,
and that there will be no more aspir
ans. 1t has been understood for some
lime that Judge Floyd Estill of Win
chester has decided not to make the
race. Judge Estill was candidate
for the nomination against the late
Judge John s. Wilkes In 1902, and It
was understood that he would become
candidate again in 1910, but the
sudden death of Judge Wilkes last
January forced him to enter the race
for the appointment at the hands Of
Gov. Patterson. Failing to get the
appointment, he decided not to make
the race against the governors seIec-
ton, inasmuch as Judge Estill is and
has been from the start a strong friend
OF the chief executive.
