Fires and revolving Doors.

That the Paris authorities hav'
forbidden the use OF revolving doors
IN building where crowds of people
habltually gather will hardly sur
prise those who have studied the
matter OF public safety in times oi
panics, especially French panics
There are some things they do bet
ter in France, and the handling OF
excited multltudes Is obviously one
OF them.
According to the dispatches the
action OF the French authorities mas
also been caused, In part at least,
by the fact that revolving doors
over there have a habit of getting
stuck. Perhaps the making of ma
chimes Of this kind is another thins
we do better here. Certainly no
case Of these doors refusing to work
has come to public notice in New
York
However, It would be foolish, in
matter Of this sort, not to make
use Of the experience of others. Re-
volvlng doors, It Is true, are such an
enormous convenience in our large
Office buildings that to abolish them
would be a great annoyance to thou
sands Of people. But safety In case
OF fire is vitaly important, and must
be secured at any cost.
The proper way to reconcile these
views of the subject is un-
ioubtedly to follow the example set
By the owners of the Bank Of Com
nerce building and several others.

RoosEvELT's ADVICE TO LABOR.
Bound to Count Heavily with
tho Voter.

(From the Labor World. Pittshurg.)
President Roosevelt is willing to
stake his own unparalleled reputation
as friend of labor on his declaration
that Judge Taft will be labor's renl
friend should he be elected to the Presi-
dency. President Roosevelt is absJ-
lutcly sanGuiue on this point and the
gravity Of his position and the consc-
quencos that will reach far into tn"
future, and will particularly relate to
his own personal record, must impress
on the mind of every intelligent man
that his words spring from his heart.
Is there n wage worker or trade
union leader in the country who has
reason to doubt the sincerity of Roosa-
welt? Labor from end to end of the
United States has adored him and
adores him still as friend for what
he has done. He states most unequiv-
ocally that In everything he has done
for labor Judge Taft has been his will
ing, able and most earnest co-work ,r.
What better recommendation of Judge
Taft to labor than that can be offered:
None whatever.

Political Snapshots.

Mr.. Bryan Is making a strenuous ef-
fort to confine the discussion of issues
In this campaign to the declarations of
the Denver platform. His attitude In
this matter is sadly inconsistent with
the claim which he has made for twelve
years that he Is the fearless champion
of the people. When he pleads immun-
ity from attack on any issue which Is
not In the Denver platform he comedies
that he Is a statesman afraid OF his
own record. But Mr.. Bryan cannot es-
cape from his past.-Baltimore Sun.
Mr. Bryan Is not on trial for what
he has done, but for what he proposed
to do, what he did his utmost to ac-
compllsh and what he would have done
IL the people had given his a chance.
And his new propositions must be con-
sidered by the light of his record

DISCARDED ISSUES.
Bryan's Alarm About "Militarism"
Has Faded
(From the Kansas City Tlmes.)

TO1n the hHHsaS lily llntSD
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan made an ominous
noise about "militarism.' He conceived
the idea-or at least advanced the
theory-that because the country had
acquired the Philippines and Porto Rico
and because provision had been made
for an Increase In the regular army, the
Republican party was about to put into
effect a policy OF world conquest; that
this was to be made n military nation ;
that the ideals of the young men were
to be turned from the arts OF peace
to the arts of war, and even that the
enlargement OF the army was to be
standing menace to the cause of Amer
lean labor.
And all this because the standing
army, which consisted of 25.0O0 men
when the Spanish-American war be-
came inevitable, was to be increased to
a possible maximum OF 100000. The
reason for this latitude Of increase was,
OF course, the necessities so impressive
ly revealed through the experiences Of
the war with Spain, and Mr.. Bryan had
reason to know Just what those neces-
stiles were.
Since Mr.. Bryan's fearful and won
derful alarm about "militarsm" the
army has been increased from 25,OO0 to
10000 men. Not one OF the evils pre-
dicted by Mr.. Bryan has attended this
enlargement. Would Mr.. Bryan reduce
the army? II so. why does he not de-
mand a reduction? Why did he not put
reduction plank in his platform? Or,
does his silence this year on the sub
ject of "militarism" mean that Mr..
Bryan now admits the absurdity of his
position In 1900?

GoMPERs' CHEAP METHODS.
Judge Taft Shows the speciousness
of Attacks Made on Him.

(From Taft's Speech at Waterloo. la
Mr.. Samuel Gompers has already de-
livered the vote to the Democratic
party and that makes it rather hope
less for one who is struggling for the
Republican party to deal at all with the
labor question. He seems to have re-
moved it from doubt by carrying the
vote in his pocket. lie leaves no place
outside for me Now l venture to think
that the laboring men Of the country
think for themselves and have an in
teliGence that enables them to take
their own judgment as to the party and
the candidate whom they elect.
1t is rather n cheap method Of at
lacking a candidate to say that he is
opposed to labor, that he Is in favor OF
expressing and tyrannizing labor and
that he has nothing in his heart that
sympathizes with labor. The only way
you can meet that is to say that 1t is
not so, and that is what l do say. ]

An unsouHD PROPOSAL.
Bryan's Dangerous Bank Guaranty
and Its Weak Spots.
(From Golfers Weekly

Mr. Bryan has made bank deposit
guarantee his most distinct issue Of
this campaign. He has pressed it hard.
about its soundness. No foreign gov
ernment has ever adopted 1t. The
countries of the world have been busy
with banking and insurance q long
time. and when an earnest but not very
thoroughly trained politician comes for
ward with a revolutionary proposition
the burden of proof lies heavily on him.
Regarding Mr.. Bryan's past record In
this field Gov. Hughes has said:
"If all that Mr.. Bryan has favored
during the past twelve years had been
enacted into law. we should have been
overwhelmed with disaster and would
regard 1t as our chief business in the
future to find a way of escape from
the meshes of ill-considered legislation
in which we should have been en-
tangled 1t is fortunate for him as
well as for US that he was defeated.
and whatever may be his present polit-
ical potentiality. can be ascribed to the
fact that hitherto he has not been per-
mitted to carry out his program"
That Judgment is severe, and will
hurt the feelings of many Of Mr..
Bryan's friends, but who can doubt Its
accuracy?
Mr.. Bryan's scheme, which he calls a
guarantee, is an insurance proposition,
and 1t is entirely mutual in Its nature.
The government does not stand back Of
it. There are no stockholders who
pledge their resources There is moth
ing, except a certain definite and lin
tied fund. This fund Is to be used to
insure risks which are not selected. 1t
is to Insure all alike, good or bad, and
all at the very same rate. The real
working Of the scheme amounts to this:
the stockholders of an Indiana bank
guarantee that the assets (Which they
are not allowed to see) Of, say, an
Idaho bank are and shall continue to
be good and that the directors of the
Idaho bank (over whom they have no
control) shall always be men Of recti-
tude and sound judgment. Mr.. Bryan
thinks that this little idea of his will
prevent panics. In 1898 the existence
Of gold fund to guarantee the pay
ment Of government currency in gold
many times larger proportionately than
the deposit guarantee fund would be
was of no avail in preventing a gold
panic In 1907 n currency and specie
reserve fund in the national banks,
equal to about 13 per cent Of their de-
poslts, did not prevent one of the
most frantic currency panics in the his
tory OF the national banking system.
What reason is there to think that, in
times OF stress and uncertainty, fund
of few millions to guarantee deposits
OF $l3,0OO,OOO,OOO would have any more
reassurng effect? The scheme is worth
little or nothing as protection. 1t
would greatly increase the number of
failures by the encouragement Of reck-
less banking. 1t would not help to meet
panics. 1t would help greatly to bring
them about.

STRIKING UNANIMITY.
Bryan Wanted in Certain Quarters
on the Plea That He Can Do
Nothing as President.

(From the Chicago Tribune)
hold it entirely natural for any
great law dcfying corporation to wish
to see you placed in the Presidency
rather that Mr.. Taft. (From the let
ter Of Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr.. Bryan Of
Sept. 23.)
The full force and justice of this
sentence may not be felt without the
following verification from the pen Of
the most conspicuous recruit to the
Organized Democracy from the ranks
of the conservative, or Cleveland Dem
ocracy.
Whoever believes in the prevailing
policies and tendencies of the Republi-
can party will, of course, act with that
party In the pending Presidential con-
test. But whoever believes those poll
cies and tendencies to be vicious and
Injurious can record his belief aud
make 1t effective In no other way than
by acting with the Democratic party.
Not to take that course is to give more
or less support to the very policies and
tendencies he condemns. Neither should
he be deferred from 1t because certain
policies. once thought to be peculiarly
Democratic and so described. do not
command his approval. They eau now
be described as Republican with equal
propriety because they are policies
which are common to the extreme
wings Of both parties. (From the fiv.
column open letter of the Hon. Richard
Olney to the New York WORLDLY
The full force and significance Of
these sentences are not appreciated un-
til 1t is recalled that their author ssrv-
ed rs attorney general In the Cleveland
cabinet, during which time his depalt-
ment did virtually nothing to disturb
the peace he and others are so anxious
to enjoy once more.
1t is confidence In Mr.. Bryan's fulfill
ity that rallies an Olney and q Parker
to his standard.

TAFT STRIKES BANK INSURANCE.
Shows the Glaring Fallacies of the
Scheme by Plain Reasoning.

(From Taft's Minneapolis SPECIFY
Two objections are made to the con-
clusion that an enforced guaranty sys-
TEN would lead 10 recklessness and
disaster In banking. One is that the
government examinations would pre-
vent, and the other is that 1t is an
insult to the banking community to as
sume that the national bankers OF the
country, In view of their present high
character, would yield 70 the tempta
ton to recklcssness presented by the
system.
81 answer to the first objection that
the government examinations do not
now prevent banks from failing; that
it is difficult for a bank examiner TO
discover the unwise recli'essness and
speculative loans. and that often such
loans are made between government
examinations, and then the evil is done
and cannot be remedied by strict SUPER
vision.
Second. while fully concede the
general high character of the bankers
throughout this country, my point is
that the opportunity to obtain deposits
and invest them on very little capital
afforded by the guaranty security will
attract into the banking business men
of no experience and of speculative
tendencies. and will distinctly lower the
tone OF the banking business.
lone Of the great merits claimed for
the enforced guaranty Of deposits is
tlat 1t will prevent panics. 1t is suiIi
cient to say that the plan proposed
cannot prevent panics. A panic Is not
stayed by the promise that money will
ultimately be Forthcoming. 1t can only
be- stayed by the production OF the
money itself. When n financial strin.
gency is on, 1t is the cash the man
