Cod and Thirst.

At the International Fisheries Con

which will arouse discussion throughout
the world, and, IN particular, will ex-

ties as have long eked out the pre-
tense of subsistence without salt cod
because they hadn't heard of it Salt,
dry cod, however, being portable, indie
structible, and imperishable, may travel
anywhere. As Secretary Straus says,
wherever 1t goes it carries with it a
thirst, such as only those can appre-
ciate whose means permit them prop
erIy to slake it.
The fact that fish is brain food need
not be gone into at length. nor do we
do more than Mr.. Straus in merely cit
ING it. That the achievements OF the
Pilgrim Fathers were, as he says, refer
able to the fact that for two seasons
after their arrival they were obliged
TO subsist upon cod, we may eheerfully
admit. But his statement that ali
Americans are divisible into two classes,
namely, those who are descended from
the Pilgrim Fathers and those who pre-
tend to be, appears open to criticism.
There ought, we maintain, to be
room somewhere in ethnolOgly for the
third class of Americans, namely, those
who were born with a spontaneous,
internal, self generating thirst-of which
sort specimens may occasionally be met
with in Washington, even while the
fisheries congress is in session-and
who disclaim the slightest connection
between their thirsts and any anees-
trail and artificial appetites due to pri-
mary salt cod induction.
A scientific tracing of thirsts is prob
ably no more difficult than the dis

Mr.. BTyan'S Misfortune.

1t is most unfortunate for Mr. Bryan
that he has succeeded in stirring up
-Ir. Theodore Roosevelt. There was a
considerable period during which Mr.
Roosevelt seemed earnestly disposed TO
keep out of the turbulent activities of
this campaign. He seemed rather will
ing to sit back and let 'em 20 it, so
long as they didn't bother his quiet
and contemplation.
But in an unfortunate moment he
was disturbed, and now he is in the
thick of the fight, laying about him
as nobody else in politics can lay about
when occasion demands.
Mr.. Bryan as the head of the Demo
cratic party challenged Mr.. Roosevelt,
and took occasion to indicate that no
body was going to be permitted to at
tack the fundaments and the essential
good faith of Democracy without meet
ing resentment, so long as Democracy
was under the leadership Of Mr. Bryan
Of course, he reused all the fight there
was in the Roosevelt blood, and the
Presidents excoriation OF Haskell and
Bryan resulted.
Nobody in politics is consistent with
himself for a very long time. If men
were consistent there would never be
progress. Mr. Roosevelt hasn't always
been consistent, and his party hasn't.
Mr.. Bryan, in fact, seems to be the
most consistent man in the land. He
has been consistent and uniform in his
ehangeableness- He has not yet vio-
lated his rule Of always having a new
paramount issue whcr~-cr he appears
before the public. In 1896 it was free
silver, in 1900 it was Imperialism, in
1905 it was Government ownership Of
the railroads, in July OF this yaer it
was shall the people ruler" Now, ap-
parently, it is chow shall l get the
votes, and everything else be hanged!7
Mr.. Bryan never agreed with him
self long enough to accomplish any
harm for the country by enaeting any
of his numerous paramount proposals
into law AS likely as not, if elected,
he wouldn't agree with himself long
enough to make an effective fight for
any of the fantastic proposals he Is
now espousing. But it Is dangerous
business to contemplate electing Pres
ident on any such ground as that he
wouldn't have chance to do much
harm" He would do too much
The President has supplemented most
effectively the excellent analysis which
Governor Hughes presented, Of the rec
ord of Mr.. Bryan. He has made it
apparent enough to the whole country
that Mr.. Bryan has been adapting
the means to the end; that election
to the Presidency was the end, and
that the means would not be criticised
so long as they promised to be eff
cacious.
The scandal of Haskell must be ended
very soon or it will end this campaign
with a scandal. Haskell ought to get
out of his position of trust. and permit
himself to be investigated and exon
erated-if indeed he thinks he has a
chance to be exonerated at all-aftcr
the election. He Is a drag on his party
every hour he remains in his present
position.
