The food OF 1900 destroyed 5000 lives and

A National Reform.

Testimonials to the effect that the safe
and sane methods of celebrating indie
pendence day adopted in different cities
this year have saved lives are being re-
ceived by the District Commissioners. 1t
appears from the letters from mayors
that were printed in yesterdays Star that
wherever this plan was tried the number
of accidents and fatalities was materially
lessened. 1t stands to reason that this
should be true. 1t is impossible to play
with fire without being burned. No city
can permit the sale and promiscuous use
OF fireworks without paying a penalty in
the mutilation and death of some of it's
inha bitants. The only safe and sane
firecracker is the one that is prohibited.
The only innocuous toy pistol is the one
that lies in the bottom of the river
1t will only take about half a decade
of systematic regulation along the lines
adopted by the District this year to work
, a permanent reform, to eradicate the
disposition TO engage in the barbarism
that has been called patriotic expression
The privations experienced by the chill
dren this year We're perhaps hard to bear
because they had such recent memory
of unrestricted indulgence. If something
is provided for their entert ainment or
the Fourth of July such as the features OF
Independence day this year there will be
but little regret in the future when the
regulations are strictly enforced and the
city is kept quiet on the day Of celebra-
ton.
No halfway measures will suffice In
this matter. In order to make the re-
form effective il must be thorough
Washington proved this convincingly BY
absolute prohibition, with the result
that there was not single case of fire.
works burning recorded at the hospitals
The important point now is to keep this
matter alive, to gather evidence of the
wastefulness of the old method and the
sanity of the new. SO that next spring
when the campaign reopens other cities
will be brought into line and the move
ment for the redemption of independence
day will be given greater scope and head.

Taft and BRYAN.

Some of Mr.. Bryan's friends are very
much pleased with the political situation.
They are confident their hero will lead
the democracy again in 1912. and regard
his chances of election that year as ex-
cellent.
This faith seems to be based upon the
proposition that Mr.. Bryan is really
winning through his successful COMPETE
tor Of last year. The Bryanites believe
that the President has been brought to
his action as to an income tax and to
his championship of free raw materials
by the sentiment first aroused by Mr..
Bryan and his friends. Why, then, they
ask, should not the country reward at
the next opportunity the man who has
brought his opponents around TO his poll
cies?
Undoubtedly we shall see this point
pressed. 1t is all that remains of the
Bryan case. The three defeats cannot be
denied. But If there is sufficient insist
ence on the claim that. Notwithstanding
his defeats. Mr.. Bryan achieved an indi-
rect success with some of his policies,
his friends may secure for him another
nomination.
What. then, as to new policies? With
the tariff revised downward, and an in
come tax Endorsed by three-fourths Of the
states. what next will Mr.. Bryan propose?
He must have for platform something
stronger than the claim of having forced
certain measures on his opponents.
II is reasonably certain that Judge Taft
will be renominated. and he can be placed
now on the question of the Philippines.

ton of an active policy for an increased

The Democratic Conferees.

The democratic tariff conferees are be-
ginning 10 take notice. So far they have
not had even a look-in. Theirs has been
a waiting part While their republican
colleagues have been wransiinS and per-
spring over schedules. and occasionally
Iunching and dining with the President
they have been occupying easy chairs,
reading newspapers. and waiting for the
verdict.
This is the usual order The minority
does not help shape = conference report.
1t simply hears the report read in time to
make a report of its own on the majority
report.
The minority this time need not con-
sumo great deal of time. 1t is already
pretty fully on record. Mr.. Clark and his
friends in the House paid their respects
10 the Payne bill when the measure was
under discussion there, and Mr.. Bailey
and his friends in the Senate expressed
themselves at length on all the. work OF
the finance committee of that body. So
that whether the conference report shows
triumph for either the House or Senate.
or mixed triumph, democratic con-
demnation is certain. The only matter is
summing up, and that might very well
DE done in day. Still. if two days are
desired, why not grant them?
What sort of bill the democrats would
have prepared had the responsibility been
with them is most interesting question.
They would not have been guided either
by the Denver platform of last year. or the
Chicago platform of 1892. Both of those de-
liverances were practically repudiated by
them in the debates. The doctrine of free
raw materials received a black eye both
in House and Senate. In the Senate Mr..
Baley's speech on the subject was an
elaborate one, and we shall hear good
deal about it next year and in 1872
But nothing that was said afforded ma
terial for the general outline of a tariff
bill 1t was at most criticism Of the
work of others-some of it very clever
criticism, and difficult of reply, but still
only criticism Humor was not absent
as when men who were repudiating the
Denver platform were jeering at those
they were charging with repudiating the
Chicago platform The pot looked very
solemn while remarking on the color of
the kettle
So much was said by the minority
about both the Payne bill and the Aldrich
amendments to it while the debate was
in progress that any repetitions on con-
ference report would be of no interest to
the country or value to the democratic
party.

The Wind-Up in Virginia.

The campaign in Virginia closes early
in August with both candidates for the
democratic gubernatorial nomination APP
nroacbinp the result with confidence. At
any rate, both are expressing cohhuehce.
Judge Mann inspires his followers Win
the assurance that everything IS coming
his way, while Mr.. Tucker IS certain that
he Is 10 head the ticket. Interest is keen.
and mon are taking sides with more than
ordinary spirit.
Some regret is expressed at the tone of
the campaign. which many think mas
not come up to the mark of dignity. Dur
ing the last few weeks in particular the
real issues before the people have been
completely subordinated to personalities
and some denunciation. Did Judge Mann
profit by the friendship of Gen. Malone
while the latter was power in Virginia
politics? And was Mr.. Tucker active in
the movement to secure an appointment
for him from President Roosevelt to the
federal bench? Charges on those two
points have been numerous, and some of
them offensive.
Regrettable as this sort of thing is, it
yet serves sometimes as ginger when
ginger is desirable. The rank and file like
sharp talk-sometimes demand it. They
are not responsive to discussion pitched
too high and too politely. But let can
didate arraign his opponent upon some
personal question. and put the matter in
scorching terms and let the accused re-
ply in kind, and interest is at once
aroused all the way from the crossroads
TO the courthouse. Everybody is imme-
diately at attention.
Judge Mann and Mr.. Tucker may have
found 1t necessary to play to the ground
lings. Virginia is a one-party state and
the present contest is within that party
In such circumstances. primary, un-
less spiced with personalities, is likely to
be listless. Voters do not come out in
force. Any old excuse will keep man
at home on polling day. AS the party
cannot lose, the decision is left to a few
There is consolation for the Virginians
in the fact that notwithstanding the cam
paign Judge Mann and Mr.. Tucker have
been conducting, both men are of guber-
Material size. and either in the governors
chair should give the state a good ad-
ministration. Both are democrats. Gen
Malone left no smudge on Judge Mann's
democracy, and nobody erred who told
President Roosevelt that Mr.. Tucker If
appointed to the federal bench in Vir-
ginia would fill the Office with distinction
and satisfaction. The present racket is
but for a day, and to meet an emergency.
