Tt will be remembered that

It will be remembered that
shortly prior to the election, the
Democratic members of the Anti
Saloon League made public an
nouncement of their intention to
support the Democratic nominees,
regardless of whether those nomi-
nees we're wet or dry. This state
ment was made in good faith and
we have excellent reason for be-
lieving the promise was faithfully
carried out. In view of the deter
mination of these citizen to sup
port the candidates who were wet
men, it would have been only a
matter of common justice and
fairness if the Democrats had also
supported the ticket. Hardly
any one needs to be bold that the
fight made on certain of the can
didates by men who had hereto
fore voted the Democratic ticket,
was the one prime cause of the
usual majority in the county be-
ing so badly slashed. The candi-
date upon whom the fiercest and
hardest fight vas made, has been
elected, as we felt assured he
would be, so those who fought
him have nothing to reward them
but memory of the labor-and
possibly cash-they used against
him. How much better, for the
sake of the party if nothing more,
if the boiling Democrats of the
county had buried the Ratchet
and stood together. The least
one can say is that they did not
meet their brethren Of the Anti
Saloon League in a proper spirit.

The Human Finger Bowl.

"I'm fond of the table d'hotes,"
said the table d'hote fend, "but they
are running the manners of the peo-
pie. The other night I saw the pref
test girl at a table across from me,
so pretty I could hardly keep my
eyes off her. She was dressed in
white, with a big white hat covered
with a white veil, and had lovely
blue eyes, and when she had finished
eating her pear she licked every fin

per, are you," cried the girl who
speaks her mind, Though l did once
meet a reporter from it who was
rather nice? He came to see about
getting an advertisement What!
Not a reporter? Why, I thought
he was. Well, anyway, l had lost a
dog, and he said he had heard of it
and wanted to know if l didn't want
to advertise in his paper for it. I
told him I didn't believe l liked his
old paper, and he said he didn't
think much of it himself, but he
thought it was pretty apt to reach
the class of people who stole dogs.
And SO since he wa so polite about

tise in it. But | didn't get the dog"

How Printing Began.

Laurentius Of HARLEM invented
the art of printing about A. D. 1880
and practiced it with separate wood
en- types. Gutenberg afterward
invented cut metal types, but the
art was carried to perfection by
Peter Schoefer, who invented the
mode of casting the types in mat
rices. Frederick CorselI;s began t.
print at Oxford in 1469 with wooden
types, but it was William Caxton
who introduced into England the
art of printing with fusile types, in
1474.

THE SENATORSRTP.

The adoption by the Union League Club NJ
resolutions highly commencing Mr.. Roots can
didacy for the United States Senate was pri-
marily designed as timely first step toward
arrayng behind that candidacy the forces Of
public opinion. now SO dominant in our polit-
icaI life These forces have not had in the past
sufficient freedom tc operate, but Governor
Hughess two candidates. have given them q
good deal OF play. and they must be rechoned
with now in determining party policies and
party action. The voters are demanding fuller
recognition in party management. and seem in
fair way TO obtain it through the passage of
direct nomination laws. They feel that they
ought TO be consulted and that the candidate
for the seat in the Senate 10 be made vacant
by Mr. Platt's retirement should have the best
chance Of success who has the greatest volume
of public sentiment behind him.
Mr.. Roots friends appeal TO the judgment of
the party in the state. They cite in his behalf
many strong claims 30 its support, for Mr.. Root
has long been an active and honored party
leader and has served both the state and the
nation with eminent distinction. 1t is urged
that the incoming administration would be
strengthened By having friend and supporter
OF Mr.. Roots great ability and broad experience
In the Senate: that New YoTks influence In
Congress would be notably increased by his
election. and that The Empire State should send
to the Senate the man whom the great majority
of the Republican voters consider their htt2st
and ablcst representative. These considera-
tions presented By the Union League Club and
promptly emphasized. rs they are to be.
by citizens OF both parties outside The member
ship of that organizations cannot fail tc exercise
al important influence on the general sentiment
of the state and broaden the support already

An ABUSE TO BE CHECKED.

The defence in the Hams is evidently
borrowing leaf from the Thaw defence. Ever
since the shooting of Annis the sensational press
has been full of stories calculated TO create
public prejudice against the victim and sym
pathy for his slayer. AS in the Thaw precedent.
the case IS being tried in the newspapers" on
evidence that could not be brought before the
courts--if the hints. nnuendoes and unsuD-
stantiated Stories often of nameless witnesses,
that in both cases appeared in the press could
be called evidence. The aim in both instances
was 10 spread the general impression, that
il would invade the minds of those from whom
the jury must be drawn. that the slain man was
an enemy of society whose taking of was an
appropriate expiation OF long career of offend
ing and to lay the ground for a direct or i'll
direct appeal 10 the unwritten law
The present case has such similarity to that
of Thaw that it is easy 20 see that none of this
weIter of senSationalism which is being put
forth even if it could be to- can ever be
put before jury as evidence. There is here, as
in the former case DO room for dispute about the
killing The defence must be- and there are in
dcations enough that il will be- insanity. IN this
case. as in the Thaw case. the cause that I'M
hinged the husbands mind would apparently be
the alleged confession of the wife. Now. in the
Thaw case all the gossip and scandal and Tel
deroin tattle with which the defence filled the
newspapers never went before the jury. 1t was
not properly part of the case And no more in
this case does what servants say or grocers boys
aIlege or unnamed witnesses report about the
actions and sayings of the victim constitute evil
dence. If the slayers mind was unhnged it
was unhinged by what was told directly to him.
not 10y gossip that never reached his ears.
Such preliminary defensive campaigns as that
in the Thaw case and this one. initiated from
it, tend TO make fair trials difficult and will
threaten the jury system unless the public
mind is aroused to their significance and
sents attempts 10 poison justice at its source
If the respect for law were keener such a course
as this would inevitably damage in the public
mind the case of those resorting to it. And if
the legal profession Were more jealous of its
dignity and reputation ii would visit with con
demnatiOn such methods of abusing the trial

Mr. Bryau's reflections the result OF the

There will he another election in 1912. The

Fuller comment in this weeks issue Of that

to elect him President, and that failure pre-
vents the party from assuming positive p0Iiu-

ers 1t would have been pleasant, says MT
Bryan ito have been able 10 reward worthy
Democrats with official Positions But the
loss of such an opportunity To recognize merit
does not worry the Democratic candidate. He
is still buoyant and cheerful. asserting that Of

has at heart us ArtemuS Ward was to sacriflce

We learn from The COmmoHeF that the
Democratic party in the last twelve years mas
publican party has accomplished in office.
Mr. Bryan has admitted that the Republican
party has accomplished not a little in those
twelve years Had the Democratic party been
i'll power II might have accomplished good
deal less than the Republican party did 80 II
seems TO be a wise dispensation OF Providence
that kept the Democratic party out of office
and permitted both organizations thus to opor-
ate Mt their maximum efficiency. Perhaps it Is
Mr. Bryans idea that the Democracy can best
discharge its functions by remaining in the
minority. If so, he will have 10 hesitation
about leading 1t again in 1912 and 1916 1t
looks as if he had this contingency in mind
when he wrote:
invite the cooperation Of those who ap-
prove and | shall not be deferred by the critt-
cism of those who disapprove. With an abiding
faith in the triumph of the truth and an un-
cause. I speak this word of encouragement to

Mr. Bryan will do more than keep step. He
Will continue to set the pace. His devoted fol

The defeat of the Nebrasksn on Tuesday does
not injure that foremost private citizen of the

Tie people need to he educated up TO a proper
appreciation of SIr, Bryans fitness for the

young. able-boded and always available He
seems entitled to one. two, three even four
more chances TO reach the goal
