What promises to prove one of the
most sensational series of cases, in
NolvinS charges of criminal nature,
brought before a Mesa county court
in many months. reached climax
yesterday afternoon when Deputy
District Attorney John H. Fry filed
charges against Charles w Jordan,
the well known Palisade ciga. dealer
j. w. Gallantine and William Davis,
employed by. Jordan. holding them
guilty of violating the laws of the
state by selling liquor in an anti
saloon territory Over thirty wit
nesses, including many of the best
known citizens of the town OF PAIL

have been summoned to appear in
the cages. Sensational testimony in
volving the manner in which the
defendants are alleged to have furn-
ished LIQUOR 20 those who wish
to imbibe is TO be given. The cases
are certain to attract widespread at
tention and will be bitterly fought
by both sides. An important test
of the local option law is involved in
the cases.
Seven formal complaints have
been filed against Mr.. Jordan. four
against Gallatine and four against
William Davis. In each and every

Jacob May and Newton Taggert

the complaints as being the names
of men whom the defendants sold IL

they purchased liquor unlawfully on
that day from these three men.

Making Aurderers.

The miserable man who attempted to
throw bomb at a squadron of New
York police few weeks ago. but re-
ceived the force Of the explosion before
the missile left his hand. died yesterday.
He had never given a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of his conduct. beyond the brief
statement that he hated the police because
OF some imagined grievance. He was not
known as an agitator. nor was he rated
as a prominent worker in the ranks of
the radicals. He had attended anarchist
meetings and had card signed by Alex
ander Berkman. chief Of group and
widely known as husband of the notori-
Gus Emma Goldman. Berkman promptly
repudiated Silverstein. the bomb-thrower
self with the vanton attempt upon the
lives of policemen.
1t is unfortunate that the victim of his
own criminal effort did not confess his
whole purpose and give a clue to his
reasoning process prior to the attempt to
destroy the squadron of police. 1t would
have been interesting and probably i'm
portant to ascertain just how he came to
reach the murder stage in his develop
ment az an anarchist. 1t is claimed OH
behalf of, this political cult that crime is
not advocated Yet the teachings are all
inclined toward the employment of vio-
fence in the last analysis of the doctrine
that order is tyranny and that the
agencies of order. or governments. are
enemies OF the people. Whether the
work Of making murderers is done d.
Tectly. by plain teaching. or insid:ously.
by innuendo and. suggestion. is not of
particular importance

same time embraced the name OF the sub
urb lying nearest the city on the north.
To change to Georgia avenue would elimi-
nate all local significance from the name
and necessitate a confusing change in the
southeastern part Of the city.
1t il natural that son OF Georgia should
desire that the name OF his state should
be borne at the National capital by a more
distinguished thoroughfare than that
which now carries it, Senator Bacon's
purpose in the premises is wholly COM
mendable. and evinces a gratifying spirit
of appreciation for the significance Of the
Capital city. But a street name should not
be changed unless there is a powerful
reason for doing So intrinsic in the char
acter Of the name. When a name is
good it should be preserved. To trade
or change just to give one name better
emplacement than before is to start a
process of juggling with the designations
which may quickly cause the greatest
confusion in the public mind. 1t will be
better to wait until a new avenue is
opened and then give it the name of
Georgia than to cause the abandonment
of the place-indicating. familiar and alto
gether satisfactory name by which Bright
wood avenue is now widely known

Mr.. Bryan stepped aside. His own choice
was not Judge Parker. whose weakness
as a candidate he foresaw. but he yielded
to the party's Judgment and supported
the nominee.
1t soon became apparent. however. that
the party needed much more than a new
name. Judge Parker's name was good
and his talents respectable, but the Bry-
antics would not have him. even at Mr..
Bryan's request They cut him by thou
sands at the polls. and made his race
one of humiliation for him.
And yet 1t Is safe to say that Judge
Parker polled more votes than either Of
his competitors for the nomination would
have done. Had Mr.. Hearst carried the
standard he would have been over
whelmed. as would Senator Cockrell of
Missouri. whom Mr.. Bryan wanted.
1t is for this reason that the talk now
of new name makes no impression
upon either Mr.. Bryan or his followers.
They have seen the proposition tried, and
know that there is nothing in it. The
claim made for Judge Gray, or Gov.
Johnson, or Senator Culberson. or Judge
Harmon is not stronger than was that
made for Judge Parker four years ago.

bring to the polls did not materialize
Nor would they mater!alize this year.
Mr. Bryans strength. as this Massa-
chusetts man asserts. grows out of Bry-
anism. He has attached men to him
through his advocacy of certain policies.
and they want those policies adopted at
the polls and afterward supported. They
are so thoroughly converted to those poll
cies. indeed. that they will not permit even
him to surrender them.
AS Organism is the issue, therefore, Mr..
Bryan. by every right, is the man to rep
resent it. Should he surrender his lead
ership he would at the same time surTen-
der the issue. and that would send the
bulk of his followers again. AS i'm 1904,
either 10 the woods or into the opposition
camp on election day.

Bryan and Bryanism.

"A Bryan Democrat" writing to the
New York Sun from Natick. Mass, thus
protests against the proposit ion that Mr.
Bryan surrender his party leadership:
Mr.. Bryan. by the events of the past
twe.re years. has established a certain
relation with about six million voters. a
lation which is very real. very vital and
largely personal. When il comes to the
question of retiring from the running in
f"vor or some other man. Mr. Bryan as
an honorable man. would have no conceiv-
able moral right to ignore this relation
ship and the duty which is laid upon
tim by virtue of this relationship Mr.
6:yan. either by his own vo,itiOn or by
the force of circumstances. has been
pltced In position where these millions
of men look TO him for the accomplish
ment of their political aspirations and
Id ,als This being true. Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal feelings or ambitions are quite be-
side the point. He has no right to retire
until he gets his discharge from these mill
lions of voters whom he has represented
AS one OF these millions the nameless
ana obscure. should feel personally that
Mr. Bryan would be traitor to the cause
he has represented if he should listen
to the advice which is SO freely offered
and decline in advance to accept the nom-
ination. In other words Mr.. Bryan's
personal feelings. ambitions or inclina-
lions do not enter into the question at ALL
but simply his duty to the men he has
represented And from this point of view
his conduct in 1904 may be open to criti-
cism but his conduct in 1908 is not.
Mr.. Bryans conduct in 1904 was open

JUGGLING the Street Names.

At the instance of Senator Bacon yester-
day the Senate adopted an amendment
to the District appropriation bill chang
ing the name of Brishtwood avenue to
Georgia avenue. and that of the present
Georgia avenue to Navy avenue. 1t Is to
be hoped that the amendment will not be
accepted by the House and that it will be
eliminated in conference. Such changes
in street names. wiping out landmarks
and confusing the local geographical stu
alton, should be given more serious con-
sideration. The proposition was not dis
cussed. the Senate accepting the state
ment of the mover that the District Com
missioners had once approved the change
and that it had on one occasion gone as
far as the conference committee as
rider on the District budget.
Brightwood avenue is one of the main
arteries of the city being prolongation
of 9TH street. itself an axial thoroughfare
The old name of the country approach to
the city was ''7th Street road" Then 1t

Who Is Responsibler

In the street railway discussion yester-
day Senator Burkett said:
We are in the ridiculous condition to-
day of a town of $50 900 people walking
qua rter of a mile to get to the depot be
cause the general managers of the street
car companies will not agree as to what
particular kind of bill we shall pass.
The shinGton travelling public at
tributes it's compulsory exercise in jour
neying foot to and from the L mon
station not to any lack of agreement
among 1.-The general managers of the street
ear companies but to a lack of agree
ment between the two houses of Con-
Eress.
The Senate. with Senator Burkett con-
curing passed a bill requiring the rail
way companies to lay the additional
tracks necessary TO give easy and quick
access to the Union station. If the House
had tas it oughD passed the Senate bill
We would not now perhaps be walking to
the station. But the House disagreed
II said: We will not compel the rail-
ways to lay these additional station
tracks unless they are al the same time
compelled to issue universal transfers
and to submit the question of how many
cars they must buy to make satisfactory
running schedules to the determination or
the District Commissioners. Then the
Senate took its turn at disagreeing. 1t
refused to attach compulsory universal
transfers and compulsory Commissioners
regulation to compulsory additional Union
station trackage.
There is no lack OF agreement among
the general managers of the street rail-
ways. They agree to meet the expense of
additional station trackage: they are
agreed in opposing universal transfers
and Commissioners regulation.
The disagreement between To- the two
houses as to how much the railways
should be compelled at this time to do
for the benefit of the public results in
compelling them to do nothing. Senate
House and railway managers are all
agreed that the public should not be COM
PEELED to walk to the Union station: but
Mouse and Senate, comforting. refuse in
effect to authorize the construction of
the necessary tracks by engaging In an
obstinate, desperate and all-absorbing
X kenny cat fight over issues irrelevant
to the Immediately urgent question Of
Union station trackage.
30 the public continues to walk. And
il now endures this annoyance and nui-
sance with perfectly clear idea of the
wransling PARTIES responsible for its COM
pulsory exercise.
