There were a number of women re-
formers, too, during my political years,
and they we're invariably enlisted on
some moral question, as they looked
at 1t, tobacco, whisky, child labor, the
lettering of conditions for women, the
saving of girls, etc. They were very
much in earnest, faithful and enthusi-
astlc to their ideals, Occasionally they
succeeded, and at least, they never
seemed discouraged, 1t is to the credit
of politicians in general, that they were
listened to with perfect respect, even
when it was apparent that conditions
made it an absolute waste of time to
discuss the questions. Sometimes an
ordinance barred their way; at other
times a state law, OF possibly the con-
stitution of the United States itself
was a stumbling-block, but they were
heard with patience.
Reform politics during my day con-
cerned itself most particularly in re

The Cheap Show Evil.

From the Duluth Evening Herald.
The action of the council last night in
refusing to renew a license for a moving
picture show of which serious complaints
had been made proves that the aldermen
have the proper view OF this subject.
The cheap shows which have swarmed
into all cities in the past few years have
given rise to considerable annoyance and
have caused city authorities more trouble
than they are worth. As a rule they are
located in cheap. nimsy buildings. where
there is great danger of fire. and even
greater danger Of panic in case of false
alarms of fire. Exits are few and diff
cult and fire protection inadequate.
Besides there is a constant temptation
to stimulate interest in these affairs by
the Introduction of obscene pictures. and
the expectation of this draws, very un-
desirable class of patrons, making many
Of these places centers of grave social
dangers.
There Is no reason why regulations for
the protection of audiences should be less
rigid in these places than in larger thea
tiers. There should always be plenty OF
exits, and the requirements as to fire pro-
lection should be ample. Especially I'M
portant is the necessity of guarding
against panic. Last Saturday In st. Paul
the Pickering of picture films in the dark
caused a false alarm of fire at moving
picture show, and catastrophe was mar
rowly averted. These places. which are
unwelcome features of city life at their
best should be watched carefully. This
| Is the tendency everywhere. Chicago In
one day recently wiped out fifty of It's
cheap shows.

Mr.. BrYan's Income.

The San Francisco Call is not very
happy in this pronouncement:
We congratulate Mr.. Bryan on his
prosperity and admire his ingenuity. The
longer lie runs the fatter he grows in
purse. 1t makes little difference to him
would lose money by success lat the polls
He is the peerless leader who plucks vic
tory for himself out of defeat for his
party. He is the greatest funeral director
he world has ever known. and he quite
deserves his prosperity. because it was
stroke CT real genius to conceive of the
democratic party as an asset.
To accuse Mr. Bryan of mercenary mo-
tves in the matter of his political activity
is rather low. 1t argues either a poor
spirit. or desperation born of lack of
legitimate campaign material. He has
prospered since 1876 but what public
man has worked harder in that time?
His tongue and his pen have been con-
stantly busy. and no one can deny that
in themselves they are uncommonly val
uaoe assets. Judge Parker has pros
pered financially since 1904. partly as the
result of the elevation he then attained.
Is he to be criticised for that? He is
still in politics. and will attend the Den
convention as a delegate. Is he
Keeping IlHSPt1 DeIoT0 the pubic with d
view of increasing his law practice:
To say that Mr.. Bryan would lose
money by success at the polls Is to fly
in the face of arithmetic. The salary OF
n President of the United States is S;iO.OO
a year. If Mr. Bryan should secure one
term in the White House he would prob
ably succeed himself there Eight years
in office at fifty thousand a year would
bring him $i0OOO0. Then as ex-President
full of vigor and industry, he would again
be open to engagements, and his tongue
and his zen would be more in request
and more valuable than ever. He might
die rich MANTLE richest of all who had
held the presidential Office.
Suppose Mr. Bryan should turn upon
this class of his critics and ask them
for an accounting. How much money
are they making by using him as a buga-
boo? What would be their loss II he
were to disappear from the scene? What
other man in our affairs ever for 80 long
d time gave employment to so much
and such systematic hostility? And
good deal of it has undoubtedly been very
profitable Many a wallet has bulged as
the result of pointing out to the demo-
cratic party the necessity of throwing
Mr. Bryan over and choosing new
leade:
Mr.. Bryan is entitled to his comforts Bile
home. his snug bank account and his
prosperous newspaper. He has followed
in honorable footsteps in all that he has
done to provide for his own household
and will net lose vote this year by any
peryersion of the record. or any aspersion

| to be introduced to the public. A little
reading is a dangerous thing. Where does
the Herald find authority for its state
| ment? Whose history of British rule in
India has it conned. and whose reports OF
| American rule in the Philippines have
been laid on it's table?
The republicans would probably welcome
such a plank in the Denver platform as
the Herald suggests. 1t would give them
reason for laying before the voters at
greater length than they can be thinking
now of doing the story of what has been
done under the Stars and Stripes for the
F'iIpinos, of what the conditions today
are and of what is certain to follow of
benefit in the near future. Unless we have
all been fed on lies. our ten years in the
archipelago have been fruitful for the
people. have frightened their lives. in
spired them with energy and ambition,
and brought them to a new appreciation
of their country. They are already par
ticipating in the direction of their own
affairs. with promises of increased power
as they show themselves capable of WELD
ing it.
AS everybody knows--even the antrim
perialists themselves-we have not loot
ed the Philippines. The shoe, accord
ing TO some of the critics, is on the other
foot. We are accused of putting in hun
dreds of millions of good money where
we can never hope for a return. Those
people want to withdraw, not on sem
timental but on economical grounds.
British rule in India prevented French
rule What may be called native national
rule never existed. and has never been
POSSIBLE. The British record shows some
dark spots, but upon the whole is a
credit 10 the builder of empires. What
chapter of our record in the Philippines
causes shame except for political cam
paign purposes? And what professional
blusher ever favoraby impres sed the

Is the country taking proper note of
the part Massachusetts IS playing in the
republican drama this year? Too far

Senator Crane is proposed for two
places Some of his admirers think he
would run well for Vice President on a
ticket with Judge Taft. Others think he
would make an ideal campaign manager.
He is a business man of exceptional sue
cess, with side talent for politics.
Accounted anti-raft in the contest
for the Chicago nomination, he is yet

1t is stated on behalf of the railroad
company, that special precautions were

The calamitous fact points quite in the
opposite direction. The truth proba bly, is
that reliance was placed as usual in the
