for him to do. His declaration against

He is not the first leader to be overruled

Gov. Johnson is probably not without ap-

aspects. If the republicans carry Min

will be as unappeasable as the rapid
Cleyelandites were. And if both Gov.
Johnson and Mr.. Bryan carry Minnesota

This action narrows the activity of Gov.
Johnson in the campaign. 1t had been
arranged to star him as a national

stump for the Denver ticket, and
appeal for votes to the conservative wing
of the democracy. 1t was thought he
might reach those voters who advocated
the nomination of either himself or

New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.
Now, however, Gov. johnson will be
obliged to stay at home and exert him.

do not see a walk-over for him. He must
fight for all he gets, and this time against
an opposition instructed by past mistakes
The republicans of Minnesota are in very
good order this year. have strong state

encouraging for the hope of an overflow
from popular subscription.
Still. 1t would be q mistake to argue
that this is to be a lean year for the
political managers. Not only is the cam
paign young. but matters are not as yet
shaped up in number of states. Local
rows are perplexfng both local and ma
tional leaders, and not until they are set
tied will voters feel like putting their coin
into the game. A later call for funds is
not at all likely to go unheeded.
AS for the democrats, their reliance for
money has never been upon the poor
voters. The appeal to them was only a
diplomatic stroke. 1t was in key with
their charge that the wealth of the coun-

that if the masses would regain control of
the government they must subscribe of
their limited means to support the Denver
nominees.
But the personnel of Chairman Mack s
committee on ways and means disclosed
the real plan and hope Of the democratic
campaign. 1t is a committee not only OF
millionaires, but of millionaires with rec
ords as liberal spenders in politics. They
themselves could finance the candidacy Of

Inconvenience. Several of them like

expect to see them appointed to con-
spicuous places by him.
These are the men who have the biggest
stake in the game. and they are not going
to let Chairman Mack starve. The farm
ers may not subscribe. Wage-earners
may hold on to their small sums. Mer-
chants and bankers Of average grade
may see nothing in Mr.. Bryan's crusade
for them. But Mr.. Mack's rich friends
are on the job. and are not the men to

Courtship and Marriage.

The man who secured wife through
matrimonial advertisement and then, on
finding her deficient In the qualities he
demands in a mate, carried his troubles
to court. can expect little sympathy from
his fellows. 1t appears that the young
wonnan's chief lack, according to her ag-
grieved husbands complaint, was In dis
position Although she had described
herself in her letters as amiable, patient,
loving, and all else that a wife is ex-
pected to be, she proved after mar
riage to be cross, short-tempered and ex-
acting Indeed, If the mans statement
is TO be believed. he married tartar,
whereas he had expected a human imita-
ton of an angel.
Matrimonial success or failure is almost
wholly an issue of disposition. Many a
man has married a pretty woman only to
find later that her beauty was the outer
sign of bad temper. a selfish nature or
All extravagant spirit. And again, many a
woman has been Influenced by the voice
and features Of handsome man to join
hands with him for life, and has learned
that he has bad habits and lacks the
fidelity of the true husband
If there were more character reading
and less mere esthetic study In the mod
ern matchmaking there would be less
work for the divorce courts. The mis-
takes are numerous enough, however,
with the counting done at close range,
without the long distance marrying, such
as that which has lately led to the plea
for annulment. Letters form a poor
guide to the character of a man or a
woman. Not even a combination Of let
ters and photographs can take the place
of direct association. The old-fa shioned
style of counting was the most reliable, as
a guarantee against mistakes. There were

and significant in the spectacle OF the
twain sitting before the hearth in that
slow communion which required few
words, but which eventually brought forth

than the hustling methods of today
permit
Modern matrimonial measures are too
hasty to be wholesome. Once in a while

good old days when the banns were cried

KlPLING'S TRIBUTE TO BOB EVANS

From q Letter to the New York World.
When Capt. Bob Evans commanded the United
States battleship Iowa. some years ago. Rudya ard
Kipling sent him set of his works with illus
trattons ny Artist Zoybaum. The gift was &C.
companied by this graceful, compliment:
Zogbaum draws with a pencil
And do things with q pen.
But you sit up in a coming tower
Bossing eight hundred men.
Zogbaum takes care of his business
And take care of mine,
But you take care of ten thousand tons
Skyhooting through the brine.
Zo<bsum can handle his shadows
And can handle my style.
But you can handle q ten-ineh gun
To carry seven mile.
To him that hath shall he given.
And that's why these hooks are sent
To the man who has lived more stories
Than Zogbaum or l could iuvcot

Car Signs,

Complaint has been filed with the local
rapid transit board that the street cars
of Washington are not sufficiently dis
tinguished by the destination signs they
bear at the transoms. This is an old
grievance and it is desirable that the
newly constituted authorities should take
1t into consideration. On several of the
streets of the capital, such as Pennsyl-
vania avenue. F street, G street and
stretches of 9th and 18th streets. cars
are run to widely separated terminals. On
the Maryland division of the City and
Suburban road the cars run to as
many as Ave different stations. On
14th street they run to two different
points. The green avenue cars run on two
different routes between Southeast Wash
ington and Georgetown. The result of
this arrangement of cars is that confu-
sion is constantly occurring Passengers
are continually getting upon the wrong
cars and being carried out of their way.
Motormen and conductors are harried and
the cars delayed by the asking OF ques-
tions.
The problem is to find a method Of
marking the cars which will be distinc-
tive and instructive. OF course, the
strangers in town will need more guild
ance than any sign that could possibly be
placed on a street car. 1t is not for the
strangers. however. that the cars should
be plainly Identified. but for their daily
occupants. While few people learn the
finer differences of build and the number
ing systems. the majority are constantly
confused. Each car running on street
with cars of different destinations should
carry on the front dashboard a large in
itial letter of the terminal name, at least
two feet square. Where destination names
bear the same initial brief combination
symbols are easily devised. Thus on the
City and Suburban lines "B-r'' might
stand for Brookland and BIN" for
Berwyn, or possibly "B' alone for one of
the two. Such a sign could be read sew
eral squares away in the day, and at
night in the we'll lighted streets it could
be distinguished at least a block distant,
as it passes through q lamp zone. The
system is in vogue in several northern
cities. where car lines are closely con-
centrated in the business sections and
ramify i'm many directions.
The often poorly Illuminated transom
signs are not wholly successful, and
elderly people. whose eyes have lost their
power. are frequently misled by them
The painting of the cars distinguishing
colors is satisfactory method as far as
from the complaints that the methods
now in vogue are inadequate. The COM
missions task is to find better system

OUR OPINION.

When Teddy meets the kaiser
What wondrous words be- speak,
But do you think he'll plant kiss
On Wilhelm's bristly cheek?
don't,
When Teddy gets to Italy
And greets the king. think you
He'll kiss him on his ruby lips,
As other monarchs do?
don't!
Or when in Austria he stands
The emperor 10 greet.
Think you he'll kiss his royal nibs
And count the kissing sweet!
I don't.
Our Teddy is not built that way.
He likes no mushy scenes:
If royalty wants T. RS kiss
Twill have to furnish queens.
That's what j think.

BOB EVANS.

Bob Evans was q tough old 0a0D-
The worst You ever saw
He shot Fort Fisher OF the map
And won the civil war.
He dropped around to Chill
When the Chilians were hot.
And filled them full Of Chill sauce
In way they've not forgot
Then he swung around 10 Asia,
Just to have a little fun.
And I'm sure IL would amaze You
How he made those pigtsils run
And when the war in Cuba came
He plow'ed the Spanish main.
And pushed the dagoes or the map.
So they can't get back again.
