While politicians of all classes seem
to handle the suggestion that use OF
more silver coin would be an aid in
reducing the present financial furry
as lighted torpedo. nearly all agree
that it would put large proportion
of the wealth of the country into the
poor man S pocket. where it could not
be conveniently cOrnered for hoard
ing. S. r. Guggenheim, of the
American Smelling and Refining Co.,
in response to urgent requests says,
that he can see no good reason why
the government should not buy $50,
900, 900 or $50, 900, 900 of silver and
coin it. That more money is required
in business is everywhere apparent.
Coinage of silver would supply that
want and place with the people an
entirely new issue of standard money.
1t would be not only adding that
much to it, he says, but of money
that would circulate. Relatively,
very little silver money is boarded.
1t is active. Nobody would refuse to
receive it in change.
Then, after stating these salient
reasons for restoring the functions
performed by silver, the gentleman
with the TeutOnic name, who seems
to have a brain better adapted for
use of the perceptive faculties than
of the lobe that indicates contention,
strife, and possibly partisan conflict,
he disclaims any idea of suggest
ing a reconciliation of silver, as the
GOldbugs called it, thereby showing
that he does not possess the courage
of his convictions. Why'd tell us
why-would the placing of silver in a
position to maintain it's mission as a
more useful half of our financial sys-
tenn be q detriment to anybody, in
any shape, unless it be to the money
sharks who speculate upon double
and triple interest for all funds
they handle? Can Mr.. Guggenheim
give any tenable reason for his tim
idity in adopting a saving-clause to
his mathematical demonstration that
silver coinage would be a good thing,
when gold has sought the retirement
of the clOister?

Mission Of Democracy.

Among the many absurditIcs pro
posed 10y politicians. is one 10y John
Temple Graves. a would-be factor in
directing passing events. which is
that Nh Bryan should nominate
Roosevelt as candidate of all the
people for President. when it is a
violent assumption of probability
that he is the choice of half the
people, should it come to a verdict
at the ballot-box. 1t is by no means
true that everybody who has praised
certain acts of the President would
vote for him. especially for q third
term. nor that even those who throw
up their hats for him on parade
would support him when conscience
guides the hand in cooler moments
within the privacy of the booth in
the pollingplace.
1t is hardly to he supposed that
any means may be devised whereby
merit and dcmerit could he so evenly
poised, as by some occult process de-
termine the question of support,
when in another corner of the ballot
may be found a candidate who en-
bodies all the good points that have
brought fame to Mr.. Roosevelt, as
well as many other paramount OBJ
jects. Who that holds in veneration
the work of our forefathcrs; who
that reverences the wise provisions
of our Federal Constitution, its clear
declarations of the powers vested in
the three branches of free govern
ment, as we'll as the checks and re-
strictions, the rights reserved to a
coordinate branch of government
that is q step nearer the people; who
that believe protective tariff is the
mother of trusts; who that favors
protecting labor from the blight of
foreign heather competition; who
that respects a a dignity and equi-
poise in the Chief Magistrate of a
great nation, would approve of plac-
ing such an unwarranted duty upon
Mr.. Bryan, of all others; a man who
has the craftsmanship to fully realize
what a mockery such a nomination
would be? The idea is absurd anf
puerile.
Besides, there never was time
when Democracy had higher mis-
sion to serve than just now. The
changes sought in our form of gov
eminent are not preached by ac-
knowledged enemies, but by pro-
fessed friends. 1t is the same old
contention that entered into the
formation of parties, when Hamilton
urged constitutional monarchy; q
government with all the hereditary
privileges and caste of the mother
country, but with a few rights of
Magma Charta granted to improvised
barons. 1t is only when party has
Outlived its usefulness that such a
course might be used as q feather
bed to ease its fall. It was so in
President Monroe's time, when the
Federalists dug their political grave
simply because the difference between
themselves and the Democrats then
called Republican, was so small as
to elicit very little contention. No
such conditions now exist, but on
the contrary, all the vigor. strength
and enthusiasm of the opposition
should be enlisted to keep the ship of
state from drifting, slowly drifting,
upon the hidden shoals, in the vain
endeavor pass over into a sea where
glittering tinsel may be worn and
less thought given to human rights.

WHAT TO Do WITH THE Holy ROLL
ERs.-If the newspapers-and espe-
pecially the dailies, which to fill space
adopt something they can transform
into o sensation" with all the ra-
pacity of vulture for carrion-were
to abstain from publishing in detail
the many silly things done by the
Holy Rollers, it would doubtless re-
move the main incentive for action.
1t is plain that they possess an invet-
crate craving for notoriety, to pose
as martyrs in a cause that unfortu-
nately is made to come under the pro-
tecting @gis of laws enacted to con-
serve religious liberty. Their kneel-
ing to ostensibly engage in prayer
in the courtroom, their rolling on the
floor and kicking up their heels at
their barracks. the gibberish they
call unknown tongues, their baptism
in the icy waters of Nozzle creek, the
attempt to photograph the jury while
sitting in the late case, and many
other acts seem to be inspired solely
to afford dope for the so-called
newspapers, which seem ready at q
nod to stir the hellish broth in the
witches caldron. Refuse publicity,
let the law confine the assumed hyp-
motto spells to adults, allowing them
to roll and jabber to hearts con-
tent, and it will soon be found that
their zeal will subside. There is not
a scintilla of reason in their madness.
and it is safe to infer that their real
object is to forage a living from cred
ul0us people.

OREGON SENATOR INITIATES "STREOU-
GUS ONE.-It seems that Senator Full
ton, of Oregon, is following the ex-
ample of the occupant of the White
House in the use of invective, and
has started an Ananias Club of his
own, with the noted prosecutor Fran
els J. Heney placed at its head and
branded with the Rooseveltian cpl
tibet, Liar. Mr.. Heney calmly re-
plies through the Oregonian, that
this same word was hurled at him by
such malefactors as Mitchell, Will
Hanson, Jones, Mays, Puter, Reuf,
Schmitz and Glass, and that he had
proven his assertions in each case,
which he stands ready to do now, or
at the proper time. What he had
said was that, while referring to one
of the Oregon Senators (Mitchell)
having been convicted of crime, that
he had evidence to prove that anoth.

PROGRESS OF ELECTRICAL DEVELOP
NRNT.-Marconi is now experiment.
ing on a plan to use Hartzian waves
or the wireless electric energy, to
transm it power, toa limit extent,
which has already proven effective in
the British navy for explosion of tor
pedoes. If this can be done, why
may not its utility be extended to
many other objects? The mysterious
capabilities of that wonderful agent,
electricity, are beyond human COM
prehensiOn. Its anihilation of time
and space is accepted without furth-
er attempts to solve the occult prin-
ciple involved. Now we find that the
impulse can be transmitted through
solid walls, and so futile have been
past endeavOrs to explain, that is &C.
cepted without question. Now q
Partisan inventor has discovered q
means whereby pictures may be
transferred over space by the wire
less current. The process is not 9TH
erwise new, and consists simply in
causing pole of the current to pass
over sensitized paper on two synchro-
nously rotated cylinders. Where the
point passes over any detail of the
drawing on the transmitting cy hinder
it instantaneously closes the circuit
and by the chemical action induced
causes dot or segment of q line to
appear on the paper of the receiving
cylinder. Thus in passing the point
over the outlines of the drawing or
writing to be transferred complete
fac s'mile is reproduced. The discov-
cry of the Partisan is a means of con-
Meeting the mechanism so as to oper-
ate these simple appliances.

AvARIcE BEaErs GREED AMI
SELFIsHNEss. - Former Ambassador
Choate, at the court of St. James, in a
recent public address, announced
that in times of individual depres.

willing to distribute one-tenth oil
their assets and property among the
poor and needy, according to the
Scriptural text. But they will not
do it; greed only begets greed.
There is, however, valuable lesson

poor, it would have been better that
they should have let their unjust
accumulations remain with the

Political Conditions.

Walter Wellman writes the Ore
1on;an regarding Presidential posi-
bilities that Mr.. Bryan is quite as
sure of being the Democratic nomi-
nee as Secretary Taft is of being the
Republican candidate.
He goes on to say that those favor
ing Bryan are of three classes: Those
who sincerely want him; those who
regard his nomination as certain,
and feel sure OF place in his band
wagon, and those who consider a
third race as the only means of
eliminating him from future PreSi-
Dental contestants. Then Mr.. Well
man declares:
How surprised these Dcmocats would
he if MIR. Bryan were to win out
and carry the country at the polls.
Not only they would he astonished, but
many in the Republican camp as well.
1t has become the fashion, especially in
the East, to look upon MIR. Bryan as a
sort of perennial candidate for the Pres
idencv, as one who always asDires and
never arrives. 1t is very easy to under
rate Mr.. Bryan's strength. 1t is under
rated by many men who see only the
surface of things and who have not the
knack Of getting into touch with the real
heart of the people. it is my Opionion
that Mr.. Bryan is this time formidable
bidder for the White House chair. This
does not mean that he is to be elected.
In fact, the chances are probably little
in favor of the Republican ticket, but
men who talk of Mr.. Bryan as . sure
loser, as already defeated, as a bit Of
dead timber to be disposed of, do not
know what they are talking about. 1t
is going to be sure enough fight for the
Presidency this year, and no mistake.
The correspondent bases Mr.. Bry-
an continued popularity upon these
three points:
First, his character as all honest, sim
cere, patriotic man.
Second, his keeping close to the peO-
pie through his lectures before Chau-
tauqua and other gatherings.
Third, his championship of the Roose.
welt policies-the policies which have
brought on new era in our public af-
fairs.
The last reason is probably the
first in importance. He was big
enough and broad enough to champ
ion the main policies that have
given lift to the Rooseveltian adj
ministration. 1t matters little that
they were first advocated by himself;
it required a supreme assertion of
patriotic self-control to uphold so
earnestly and sincerely political OPP
ponent who had appropriated policies
without even acknowledgment of
their origin. 1t was the assertion of
these principles and the support of
Democrats who placed patriotic duty
above partisan fealty, that gave
Roosevelt the phenomenal majority
in 1904. These are the principles
that will serve Mr.. Bryan in 1908.

WAS IT PLAN OR ARTFUL DODGE?
1t seemed to be the very generally
expressed opinion, after the serio-
comic drama enacted by the Council,
Tuesday night, twas cut-and-dried

vor, and then, by ready compliance
with the demand of the four TO- three
combine. the Mayor lost his first bat
tie, if indeed he did not give occasion
for a suspicion that he was a willing
party to the deal. Had he possessed
the determination and fairness of q
capable, CONSCIENTIOUS executive, he
might and doubtless would have held
the matter under consideration till q
more oppOrtune season, or have post.
poned his action indefinitely. 1t is
not held that this should have been
done, but it is noted simply to show
how easily the " Mackay combine
could have been delayed, had the dis
position and requisite knowledge have
backed the Mayor. 1t might have
been as well for the Mayor to have Sc
lected his own administrative officers,
as it is well known that the Mayor
is not farther apart than sheet Of
paper edgeways from that other NJ

looks very much as il he will have
about as much to do with city affairs
