MI. Bryan loses out again. He
will never'win the Presidency. But
he is the biggest man 10 the country
and has done more for purity
and reform in politics than all others
combined. We sincerely believe
that the nation owes it's progress in
politics, as distinguished from stand
patism, to bis teachings, and while it
is IN willing to make him it's Presi-
dent, it has, in large measure, adopt
ed his policies. Mr.. Roosevelt owes
his popularity to bis progressive
policies and the election of Mr.. Taft,
we believe, just as surely as the
election Of Mr.. Bryan would have
meant, means the annihiIa,ion of the

Gov. Hughes at Chicago.

Gov. Hughes. in his address AT the
meeting of the Union League Club of
Chicago yesterday. justified his reputa-
tion 8 a man OF sober views and pow
crs of clear statement. With Washing
ton for text. any speaker would stand
excused for superlatives and purely
hero worship. But what We have from
this man is something of an entirely
different Misunderstanding Inspiring
and practical-inspiring, indeed, be-
cause practical In showing us what
Washington did, he shows us what we
ourselves should do. He interprets the
great performances of that day so as to
point out the duty and the possibilities
of this day and holds out to even the
humblest of us the hope of rendering
helpful public service if we but guide
by the spirit of the greatest of the
fathers.
Here is man high in official station
and an aspirant for his party's nomina-
tion for President who believes thor
oughly in the country and Its people.
With large knowledge and full appreci-
alton of recent scandals unearthed in
both our business and political life, he
Yet finds nothing in the slightest de-
gree discouraging to the progress of
the nation. The great ma jOrity of the
people are sound. and their methods
clean. If there is a slowing down it
cannot be but temporary and the gen
eral effect but slight comparatively.
Our possessions are enormous in vol
ume. variety and value. and our OppOr-
tunities unexampled. What is there to
halt us for longer than a day?
But We must go forward in the light
of what our temporary embarrass-
ments have taught us. The general well
fare must be put above all special in
terests. Laws must be enacted in that
spirit. and then rightly enforced. 1t is
the peoples government. and must be
administered in their behalf. Men called
TO Office must serve, as Washington did
not for honors or emoluments, put to
promote the common veal. When that
is done all is done, and the supreme OBJ
ject OF popular government attained.
The gist of all this has been sid be-
well. TruiSms even take on Importance
when they come from true men.
"Pessimists and cynics cannot develop
this country" says Gov. Hughes. Nor
can they retard development The
foundations of our affairs were laid by
men who had confidence in themselves
and in humanity, and the men who
have followed them have wrought in
the same spirit and to substa ntial pur-
pose. America is today, and Will con-
tinue to be. all right. ~. - "

Massachusetts,.

Dissatisfaction is reported with the
democratic leadership in Massachusetts.
Well, there appears to be good ground for
the feeling. But can it be true, as alleged.
that the Bryanites are responsible for the
collapse? Are men of the George Fred
Williams sort inca pable? Do they lack
knowledge OF the game? Or can 1t be said
of them that they are malicious, prefer
ring defeat under themselves than victory
under others? There are the Whitney
people and the Douglas people. Are they
without guile or blame? If the party in
the Bay state is to go into the hands Of
a receiver, there is William Randolph
Hearst ready for the job. And d very
lively receiver he would make.

The Hoke Smith Boom.

Evidently the New York World is hav-
ing fun with the democratic party. What
other view is to be taken of its nomina-
ton of Gov. Hoke Smith for presidential
standard bearer:
Now Gov. Smith as a politician has
elements of strength. He knows the way
around. Fifteen years ago he was
young lawyer in good practice at the Al
lanta bar, with no thought of political
career. But Mr.. Cleveland called him to
seat in his cabinet. and the young lawyer
rapidly developed as a political quantity
Since then he has been much in the public
eye. and today is master of the situation
in the state of Georgia. In his race for
the nomination for governor his speed
was so great that he made show of his
company.
But Gov. Smith for President on the
democratic. ticket? Why. although he
voted for Mr.. Bryan in 1885, he was as
much in favor of the gold standard that
year as Mr.. Cleveland himself. He re-
tired from office to support the ticket only
for the reason that he had incurred an
obligation to do so by participating In the
Georgia state convention. He could not
have wished Mr.. Bryan success. and
pre- badly did not grieve at his defeat.
How would the original Bryanites take
to the candidacy of such a man In this
year Of grace? About as they did to the
candidacy of Judge Parker four years ago.
And then take the question of prohibit
tion The democratic party has always
opposed what we know as sumptuary
laws. Personal liberty has been one of its
leading cries in all of the eastern and
middle and northwestern states. And yet
Gov Smith signed the prohibition law of
Georgia, and is pledged to it's rigid en-
forcement
And what would the anti-Bryanites of
the east. and especially of New York, say
to such a candidate when they thought Of
the railroad question? Gov. Smith is no
friend of railroad monopoly. No southern
governor. no man in either party, is more
pronounced in his views about bringing.
and holding, the railroads to book. He has
shown his quality in his present office
and gives no sign Of reaction. He advo-
Gates the strictest public regulation Of
railroads in all the departments of their
operation. gss4zs4 ass ~ ..-.. y -
Whence, therefore. would come thevotes
to elect this man? From the Bryanites
with his money views plain to them? From
democrats who advocate personal liberty.
with his record as to prohibition plain to
them? From the Wall street democrats,
with his record as to railroads plain to
them? Surely the World must be joking.
Or has Organism made it blind and des-
perate?

Local Prison Reform.

1T is a grave indictment that is brought
against the primacy of the capital of the
United States by Mrs. j. Ellen Foster
special agent for the Department of JUS
tiee. in her report, published in Fridays
Star. on conditions at the District jail
Her conclusions that conditions there are
wSstefIl Of public money menace TO
the good order of the Capital city and an
insult to the moral tone of Washington
are substantiated by the facts present ed
in the report. There has been no eXag-
geration In this matter. The standing of
the Investigator and the circumstantiality
of the report preclude the idea that the
evils have been overdrawn. The report is
not hysterical. Mrs. Foster says:
''Since my last report / have made fire.
auent and long visits to the jail. | have
personally inspected many tiers of cells
in both cell wings. l have been from the
furnace rooms and faundries in the base
ment to the hospital at the top of the
main building. Ny Investigations have
been sufficiently thorough to qualify me

Mrs. Foster finds in the first place that
the Jail is overcrOwded. This is lament
able. Washington. generally a law-abid-
ing community. neeQS adequate jail Ia
cilities. 1t needs them for the protection
of both the law-breaking and the law
observing elements. Not only is the Jail
overerowded. but healthy prisoners are
exposed 10 diseased prisoners This is
not consonant with the best belief and
practice of the times. and Is distinctly
dangerous in that it spreads disease. The
great proportion of the prisoners are
short-term men, who, after serving their
commitment will again mix with their
teilow-men in the streets and elsewhere.
The health and the morals of prisoners
should be carefully attended 1t is both
the humane and the polite way 1t is
good for the class of people who do not
go. TO jails, as we'll as for that other
class. Whatever may be done looking
toward the reclamation OF detectives
should be done. and any condition that
tends to harden criminals or develop the
criminal tendencies of those predisposed
TO crime should be promptly rectified.
Writing of the crowdlng and mixing OF
prisoners at the jail. Mrs. Foster says:
IN these cells are on an average JH
men. white and colored young and old
some are detained awaiting action of the
grand jury. others are under indictment
awaiting trial: others are being tried,
others serving sentence: there is no gen
eral segregation of These different classes
except there are few large Old cells In
the part of the jail formerly used by the
