No Speech, No Dinner.

Mr. Bryan has reconsidered his accept
ance of the invitation issued to him by
the National Democratic Club of New
York TO attend its Jefferson day dinner
and sit in silence during the feast Of
reason and the flow Of soul. No self
respecting candidate for public honors
could do less than withdraw from such
an anomalous, humiliating situation.
Bryan present at a banquet and without
a speech? Nobody with drop OF red
blood I'm his veins could contemplate such
spectacle without feeling indignant
that is TO say, no Bryanite. And there
would be fewer Bryanites were their
leader. their peerless champion. 10 consent
thus to humble himself in order to sit
with the mighty OF the metropolis.
No fears need be felt on the score OF
the speech that might have been delivered
in New York If the democratic club had
not been so particular about the program.
1t will not be lost. 1t will probably be
delivered on the very day. possibly in
New York, certainly under auspices cal
culated to make it the most interesting
utterance of the occasion. Indeed. Mr..
Bryan is to be congratulated Upon the
episode. He is even more distinctly than

The secret traffic in cocaine is so profit
able that vendors will be willing to risk
the penalties of the law in order to reap
their gains The victim of the habit,
however is under no restraint. He may
indulge himself freely and suffer merely
the physical ills consequent upon con-
tinued use. When he is menaced by the
law he will be confronted with a dual
danger 1t will at least be possible to put
him out of the reach of the drug for a
time.
The passage of this proposed amend
ment should not cause any let-up in the
crusade to detect the vendors of the pro-
hibited drug. A few convictions under
the act of Ma, 1906, would probably per-
suade the purveyor of the stuff that there
is too much danger in the business. How
ever the victim may be treated. the man
who sells the poison to him is the real
offender and deserves the severest penal
ties the statutes prescribe.
