Editorial Opinion
Judas ersy as . candIdste.


Philadelphia Press.
On the day that the New York
Democrats turned down a resolution
indorsing Colonel Bryan the Delaware
Democrats indorsed Judge George Gray
and elected a delegate instructed to
vote as a unit for him in the Denver
convention.
judge GRAY in a letter sent to the
convention of his State asked that it
refrain from indorsing him. 1t has been
variously interpreted. but no one has
construed it to mean that Judge Gray
would not accept the party nomination
for President in the event it were Of
fered him. If his purpose was to make
an Illuminating contras. between digni-
fed availability one one side and boist-
erous clamor for the nomination no
matter what the consequences on the
other side he has succeeded, and he
has succeeded in doing that whether
1t was hss intention or not.
To all intents and purposes the ac-
ton of the Delaware Democrats puts
Judge GRAY in the field. There was
for a time some doubt about what
Delaware would do. but It now takes
the lead for him and invites the CO.
operation OF Democrats everywhere.
There are a number Of out-and-out
Gray men among the recently elected
Pennsylvania delegates, the most of
them chosen in open contests with
Bryan supporters. There would have
been many more had the action in Del
aware been taken two months ago. Tn
less there is a change IN conditions it
is not imDrobabls that a large propor-
tlon Of the uninstructed delegates may
find their way 10 Judge Gray
He is the one candidate who repre-
sonts that sentiment which is opposed
TO BRYAN on the ground Of principle.
because he has gone away and beyond
those good old traditions that so much
of the party is bound to. Judge Gray
represents what is conservative and
sane in the Democratic part Governor
Johnson does not stand for that senti-
ment in the same degree. or in any de-
gree that greatly distinguishes his po-
litical beliefs from those of Mr.. Bryan.
Those who prefer the Governor of Min
nesota do not prefer him because he
is conservative. but because he has
been twice elected Governor in Re-
publican State ard has not been twice
defeated as a Democratic nominee for
President.
With Judge Gray It IS altogether dif-
ferent While he has always been a
Democrat there is no Brvanism in his
record. His presentation as a candidate
by the Democracy of his own State
makes a distinct Inc along party prin-
ciples. If the elements opposed to Bry.
anism want to make a fight there is
really nothing else for them to do but
TO support Judge Gray. There is no
one else about whom they can rally.
and if there were they could do no bet
ter. for there is no Democrat in the
country more ft to be President than
Judge Gray.
But there is little prospect Of much
of a contest. No doubt there viii be
strong protest against Bryan and what
he stands for, but 1t is probably too
late to prevent his nomination, and the
strongest and most effective protest
will be entered by tens of thousands
Of Democrats at the polls in Novem-
Der.

Then and Now

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Away back in the year 1898 or the
year one. there was a great man by
the name of julius Caesar who was
offered a big Job with crown attach
ment TO boss the people Of Rome.
Julius gave it out publicly that he did
not want the Job, bus the conserva-
tives OF that day, who had the monopoly
Of driving their chariots over the Ap-
plan Way, got their heads together and
insisted that julius should have the
Job. OF course. Julius wanted it,
but like a good many modern job Seek
ers he only pretended he did not want
1t. So it was not a very hard matter
for the agents Of the inonopolists to
work the crown off on him.
After they had succeeded, a few
radical Senators. headed by one Brutus,
played anarchist by pressing the
points Of their corn knives into the
hide Of the great julius. There was a
great how-de-do in the city of Rome.
and one. Mark Antony. with eloquent
tongue-like a certain ex-congressman
who does not reside over a thousand
miles from Delaware College-got the
rabble out on a vacant lot and told
them things in way that aroused the
temper of the bunch of husky gore
hunters. Mark was ambitious to be
the leader of this party-also like the
X M. G. So he and Gus, the nephew of
julius, got together and started to
chase the radicals out of Rome. So
Brutus and Cassius and some score
of their followers slxidooed, as our
friend. the X. M. c.. and others made
the radicals skidoo at Dover on Tues
day. The RAIDS, like Brutus, took to
the woods and opened up on Mark and
Gus and their cohorts. It is UNDER
stood that Gus. who is a great general,
wants TO be the real leader, and as he
had been in the Senate. also expected
his friend. Mark, to help him out after
they had killed off the radicals Mark
and Gus have a falling out, so the
story goes. and Mark goes off hunting
for another ruler. a dusky queen, and
leaves Gus the entire work of re-
organizing the party. As Gus has had
the experience as a general and a
senator he no doubt feels capable Of
ACCOMPLISHING the task. And will
Julius get the crown? The RAIDS are
very much alive.
Yours truly,

EASTER.

r ASTERl Once again the festal day-the
IL day OF Joy, of hope and happiness for those
of the Christian faiths upon us. 1t IS the most
significant day-except Christmas-ot the entre
Christian calendar, commemorating as It does
the hope and the belief in a future life. And more
and more even in the world is this day being
recognized.
Its more general observance places Christianity
back upon the pedestal of a joyous faith and res
cues it from the dismal rancorousness with which
an austere and mind-proud Puritanism sought to
surround it. Tomorrow the dress of denial is
laid aside for the robes Of Joy and festivity and
everywhere throughout the country there will
60 up Hosannas to the King of Kings
The sublime story of the resurrection as be-
leved by the Christian faith, and its consequent
blessed fortune brought to man undeniably
birthright a redemption as legitimate as the
story of his fall from grace. Regardless OF the
rapidly changing times this story is engraved on
the hearts of man and appeals as strongly to
their emotions as it ever has done Despite the
efforts of 'modernists" of board churchmen
and other faith disturbers that story of the cross
offers to the weary, the careworn OF this faith,
heir only hope and consolation. And they will
not be robbed of it.
To thousands that sweet story is a living
drama, containing the balm of life that extends
and spreads itself through the land
For the wit and wisdom of no man, despite
our boasted and vaunted learning, pride of
intellect amid wanderings of so-called new
thought" has presented no ideas that appeal 70
the hearts and emotions of man as does the story
of the cross

ATTRAcTIoNs oF ARMY LEE.

IT IS proposed to make army life more attract
= i've Uncle Sam does not get recruits as rap
idly as he needs. The men in the ranks have
their own ideas Of the solution OF the problem
Of securing recruits for the army. They observe
barrack life from the inside and not from the
outside. The experience of the men teaches them
three things. They want more pay more at
tractive and diversified barrack life and more op-
portunity for promotion from the ranks TO a com
mission.
The Senate has passed a bill providing for in
creased pay Of the soldiers. 1t is now for the
House to acquiesce. General Bell and his asso-
ciates Of the general staff, are trying to enliven
things at the posts by providing athletic enter
tainments and other sports The chances for pro-
motion are become better, but increased pay
would be the magnet that would make the SER
vice more attractive to thousands of young men

CONVENTION NOTES.

Secretary of War William H. Taft
was nominated for the presidency on
the first ballot in the Republican con-
vention at Chicago, receiving 7Oz
votes. Then, amid scenes of wild en-
thusiasm, he was made the unanimous
choice of the convention. The major
ity report of the platform committee
was adopted after debate. For Sec
ond place on the ticket Sherman OF
New York moved prominently to the
fore.
Representative James S. Sherman
was nominated for vice-president on
the first ballot by the Republican ma
tional convention. The convention
then adjourned and a subcommittee
of the national committee went to Gin
cinnati to consult Mr.. Taft as to his
choice for national chairman.
For As minutes the delegates and
spectators in the Republican national
convention wildly cheered for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The vast throng In
the Coliseum was crazy with enthusi-
asm and some people feared that the
threatened Roosevelt stampede was
about to take place. The demonstra-
ton was started by Senator Lodges
speech as permanent chairman. Inc
credentials committee reported, seat
Ing all the Taft delegates, and the con-
vention voted down the proposition to
reduce the representation of southern
states in future conventions.

SECRETARY SLEEPER OF AMER
lCAN LEGATION LEAVES
CARACAS.
Turn Nav Prove Bad for Venezuela.
European Powers Likely to Step
in and Give "Cip" a Shaking Up
for His Errors.

Washington, June 24.-The state
department received official notifica-
ton of the departure of Jacob Sleep
or, secretary of the American lega-
ton at Caracas, Venezuela. Mr..
Sleeper's departure leaves the United
States without diplomatic represen-
tation in the South American repub-
lie. The affairs of the legation will
be looked after by representative
of the Brazilian legation.
Since questions between the United
States and Venezuela first arose Min
lister Russell has been unable to get
any satisfaction from the Venezuelan
government. While the fact that the
United States has no diplomatic repre-
sentative in that country may result
in the withdrawal of the Venezuelan
attache here, no advices had been re-
ceived at the Venezuelan legation
last night.
The present situation in diplomatic
terms is known as a state of expect
ancy. The questions in dispute be-
tween this country and Venezuela
have been in the hands Of the solicitor
of the state department for the last
five years, but no satisfaction has been
given the American representatives
by President Castro.
The plague which exists in nearly
all of the Venezuelan ports may have
induced Mr.. Sleeper to obtain a leave
of absence at this time.
1t is understood that the real is
sues between the United States and
Venezuela are the outcome princi-
pally of American claims against that
country growing out of the cancella-
ton by the government of that coun-
try of various concessions to Ameri-
can corporations and individuals.
The United States government has
endeavored to obtain settlement Of
these claims by arbitration, but has
met with refusal at every point. Re-
cent developments growing out Of
the outbreak of bubonic plague in
Venezuelan ports and the disregard
by Venezuela of treaty obligations to
enforce sanitary regulations have I'M
doubtedly caused the present rupture.

Owes Recovery to Cuticura.

"My son Clyde was almost COM
pletely covered with eczema. Physi-
clans treated him for nearly a year
without helping him any. His head,
face, and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell off. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that if
he got well he would be disfgured for
life. When it seemed as if he could
possibly stand it no longer, I used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That
was the first night for nearly a year
that he slept. In the morning there
was 4 great change for the better. in
about six weeks he was perfectly well.
