The Kaiser and the Colonel

The kaiser win address his distin.

suggestion Of an American acquaintance
and was so advised.
He was we'll advised. The title will
bring him nearer to his man, and the
man nearer to him. 1t will 90 with a

will be discussed. Fighting men of all
countries and periods will be lauded. The
War Lord will speak to the Rough Rider,
and the Rough Rider to the War Lord.
And then there is something martial
about the hunting field. Guns and pow
der and ball figure in the chase. And
both the kaiser and the colonel have
records as guns. Both have brought
down big game. though for the size of
his bag the colonel holds over his
msjesty.
And then again the colonel is sure

though he served but a few months in
the army carried himself well from first
to last. He is of genuine soldier stuff.
Americans are charged with being weak
on titles. especially of the military kind.
Foreigners think they like to be addressed
as general. colonel or even captain IL the
front" does not encourage a stranger to
go higher. And among Americans. Ken
tuckians are oftenest targets for this
raillery. Every Kentuckian is accounted
a colonel. both at home and abroad. The
story OF the bluegrass horseman who
killed an acquaintance for addressing him
as mister in a company of distinguished
visitors to the state has probably done
as much service at places where poi
sons are "nominated'' as any story with
Kentucky as the theater of action that
ever circulated.
But the foreigners are at fault. The
joke is on them. We use titles as mere
social contrivances They are never taken
seriously when bestowed jovially Even
in Kentucky, where they are thick as
clover blossoms. they contribute only to
sociability. We might get along without
them. but why discard them? A custom
which has promoted SO much good feel
ing. and caused no harm whatever, Is
worth preserving even in a democracy.
where titles and decorations are SO often
the subjects of criticism.

A Strong and Convincing Report.

The report of the House committee on
agriculture accompanying the Boutell bill
extending tho Morrill, acts to the District
of Columbia and naming George Wash
1ngton University as the ins.rumentaiity-
through which the appropriations shall
be expended for a period OF three years,
printed in the news columns today, is a
rong and convincing argument i'm favor
q both of the two propositions involved
In this proposed legislation. 1t states the
reasons why the acts should be extended to
the District so clearly that there is no
possibility OF any dispute on this point IN
deed. the committee states. there is a
practiHal unanmity of sentiment in favor
az tic inclusion Of the District within the
&cono of the acts. Had it not been tina t
fiit territorial form of government was
yepiaced here by another method OF adj
ADMINISTRATION tho District would have been
incuded automatically In these benefits
long ago.
on the question of the instrumentality
Through which the acts shall be executed
1n the District the committee takes firm
EroGnd that there is in view today no
Other possible agency than George Wash
1ngton University. t. there were an in
etitutiun corresponding to the state col
1eges which elsewhere except i'm three
states are used for this purpose it would
he automatically chosen in the local in
stance. and the committee indicates its
belief that such college should exist
here. In its absence George Washing
ton University remains the sole medium,
for the immediate extension of educa-
tional facilities in agriculture and the
mechanic arts, and the House committee
does not hesitate to designate it tenn
porarily, under restrictions which make
the charges for this instruction merely
nominal.
This report should be followed by
prompt action by the House. There is
reason for expedition in the enactmen,
OF the proposed law, and with this able
argument in behalf OF the pending bill
before 1t the House has no ground for
delaying its consideration and passage.

If you have a little secret
That is weighing on your mind,
Do not hunt up a policeman
When to confidence inclined.

Where advice is given free.

And as safe as safe can be.

Even this will be kept secret,

Sane Fourth Crusade Goes On.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
An order was issued last Saturday by
New Ycrks commissioner of police, at
the direction Of Mayor Gaynor, forbiddins
the sale at retail of fireworks. Chinese
crackers, rockets, blue lights. Roman
candles. colored pots, lancewheels and
other works Of brilliant coiored fire IN

This has come as a disagreeabie surprise
to the fireworks men. who had supposed
from the mayors previous remarks that
he favored an oldfashioned Fourth or
July with all its noise and damage. The
crusade for sane Fourth is gaining
headway The Civic Club of Philadelphia.
began forming last January national
committee Of governors to discuss the
abolition Of fireworks. About twelve state
executives have expressed themselves as
favoring the idea. President Taft has
Endorsed an anti-noise crusade, but it Is

Why should Mr. Bryan's letter have
huttered the Washington dovecot? was
he not expected to reply to the invitation
to attend tonights banquet? And was ne
not expected TO express himself frankly
in his reply? Has he the reputation any
where of being shuff1er? From the day
fourteen years ago, when he set the chi
cago convention afre with his eloauence'
has he ever masked his meaning about
any public question? And. after commit
ting himself. has he ever retreated by SO
much as a hairs breadth from any
thing?
There can be no surprise that Mr.. Bryan
has not changed his views about money.
Not word he has ever spoken, not
line he has ever written, since his defeat
i'm 1896, has been in the nature or re-
traction of the financial principles he
enunciated in that campaign. He stili
holds that he was right then. and be-
Ieves firmly that time will vindicate him.
WHY should he conceal this fact? Be-
cause there are democrats who diner
with him about it? There were such
democrats i'm 1896, bat he would not mis-
lead them by concealment. Why should
he attempt to mislead them now?
Take the railroad question. Mr.. Bryan
believes in government ownership and
operation OF railroads. He would not as
President attempt to inaugurate that
policy at once and by one act, but would
use the influence OF his Office to bring
the country as speedily as possible around
to his point of view He expects vindi-
cation on that line also. He is as firmly
convinced on that matter now is on the
night several years ago when he adj
dressed acres of people in the Madison
Square Garden on his return from his
tour of the world
Now these are live topics. The cur
rency is to be reformed. and the next
Congress is expected to deal with the
subject. If the House is democratic it
should pass a currency bill. and be as
sisted by Mr.. Bryan in the work. That
will open UP the whole financial prob
lem. and lead to wide discussion of
bo.h money and credits. and the his
tories o? the two parties in connection
Herewith.
The railroad question will not be set
tied by the legislation now in prepare
tio.,. matter what shape it may take.
EomethiTg further will be urged, and
should Mr.. Bryan be nominated for
J'reS1ueAt anu elected In l912 he Will
have. and improve. an opportunity to in
ei>t upon measure or measures point
ing in the direction he thinks the gov
er ment should go.
As everybody by this time should
know. Mr.. Bryan spells Organism. He
IS not seeking office for himself. nor
goes he desire to see his party obtain
power under any mask or disguise.
So long he and his friends have the
ear of the country they intend that the
country shall know precisely what
they mean by democracy.

The Speakership.

We are now told that as soon as the

port of the insurgents? That. in all

ATHLETICS BEST OF
The AMERICAN
Pennant Races In Both Big
Organizations Become
More Interesting

The pennant raes I'm both of the
major baseball leagues grows more
interesting each week, and where but
short time ago IL was thought the
ultimate winner of the flag could
with some degree of certainty be pre-
sdicted today any one of three clubs
in either body has a fighting chance
for the honor. The leaders In both
Leagues have a comfortable work
ing percentage over their nearest
competitor, but it is far from being
an unbeatable one, and the least slip
up is going to change the complex
ion of the entire race.
In the American League the three
contenders all show material gains,
Boston more than any of the others.
with the Athletics second and New
York close third. Even Washing
ton shows some gain, while the only
club Of the Western contingent to
show an advance over the previous
week is Cleveland. Chicago was the
biggest loser. dropping all points. De
troit fell off 10 points and the Browns
eight.
In the National League the gains
and losses have been less marked, and
with the exception of Pittsburg, which
made big strides the last week the
differences have been immaterial. The
gains of the week have about been
evenly divided between the Eastern
and Western clubs. New York has
been a heavy loser. and the Giants
are hanging on to second place only
! by a thread.
Judging by their playing the Ath-
! letics apparently outclass every other
! team in the American League, and
that they have such a big lead is not
to be wondered at. New York and
Boston we're easy, but il remained
for the championship Detroit team
! to put up the poorest fight of the
season. and the Athletics easily
! cleaned up four straight.
This week the Athletics should be
able to gain. as Chicago and Cleve-
land are not opponents to be par
ticularly feared. New York will al
the same time be entertaining st
Louis and Detroit, so that Mack's
men should be able to further
strengthen their lead in the pen
nant race
