4 rip on Oats.

According to the Saturday Evening Post. a man who had country place on Long Island came to New York one morning to do little speculating. He was a great believer in tips
 On the ferryboat 1t came to him that he had had somehow a tip on oats. He couldn't remember just what it was. but somebody had told him to buy oats. So when he reached his brokers ofice he looked into oats a bit and bought some. Oats were active. He pyramided skillfuily and by the close of the market was SI,000 ahead.
 Of course such luck as that had to be celebrated. and it was. As the cele. bration went on the oats buyer told the story several times and each time took on importance in the recital as an oats buyer until he finally became the oats king. He reached his railroad station somewhat late and found the stable. man waiting for him with trap.

 It is interesting to note in line with the belief that the frauds are widespread to quote what Mir. Durand director of the census, has stated of ficially. He says:
 T am unable to state at the present time the names of all the cities in which attempts have been made to infiate the census. Definite evidence has already been secured in the case of Great Falls, Mont; Boise, Idaho; Seattle and Tacoma, Wash; Portland Ore; Fort Smith, Ark, and M:nneap oils, Minn.

CROOKED CENSUS MEN
 WILL BE PROSECUTED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-It has oc- cured to the officials of the census that many of the enumerators who are under a cloud will decamp before they can be indicted by grand juries for making false census returns.
 Every census operator who is known to have done crooked work, and those who alone know, as yet, that they have done crooked work, are alike in the category of criminals who would like to get out of the way as quickly and effectively as pos sibie. It does not seem possible. however, that any of those against whom prima facie cases have been made out will escape.
 Three enumerators have been fined and imprisoned for violations of the law in the case of the census of Great Falls, Mont The statutory pun ishment Is a fine not to exceed 5000. or a fine and jail sentence of two years. or both kinds of punishment in the discretion of the tr.al judge.
 The census authorities have no discretion now since the orders of President Taft, published today, in which he urges prompt and compre- hensiye action. The census officials will therefore send all the evidence they have in the cases so far made out and outlined in Director Dursnd's statement to various grand 1uries in the cities named.
 Director Durand says he cannot elaborate on his statement made yes terday. There is a report. however, that the frauds are so widespread

 still to respect the constitution and his oath of ofice. Within their linn |itations he could not have gone very far in the gentle arts of humanity and purification that he had outlined, and which his followers had expected him to fulfill The country might have had a much needed change of parties--the only way of bringing the politicians to realizing sense without any violent wrench.

He tells us plainly what T" will do if T am given the power" The colonel of the first part spoke with greater modesty. He spoke with a certain deference. He a;. fected some respect for law. The colonel of the second part pretends to none. He is impatient of legal restraint and limitations of every |sort He would brush such obstruc- tions as the supreme court out oi his pathway without a thought. He would tell the congress what to do and, if congress demerred, he would turn the secret service loose upon the walks and ways of half it's mem bers.

 Colonel Roosevelt has not only stolen Colonel Bryan's clothes. but he has crowded Colonel Bryan of the stage and taken his place before the fooslightts: and. as if to add insult to injury, ex-Vice-President Fairbanks introduces him as "The Mighty Com moner'
 Meanwhile Roosevelt, the newest colonel of the second part, quite out. Bryanizes Bryan, the original colonel of the first part, and, more's the pity, the fickle audiences are beginning to like him just as well. In some quar- ters they seem actually to prefer him, their preference being perhaps like that of the clowns at the fair in Salamanava described by Gil blas, that thought the snowman who, upon an open platform initiated the squeai. ing of a pig. gave a more natural and agreeable performance than his rustic rival who pinehed the tail of a real. living pig, hid beneath the folds of a cloak. This. indeed, would anpear to be the difference between the two coaoneis. Colonel Bryan ac- tuaIly believed. his fancies. It is safe to say that Colonel Roosevelt is just a piay-actor.
 In 1908, the voters, alike discredit- ing Bryan and Roosevelt in favor of Taft, elected Taft because they be- lieved he would make a safer presi- dent than Roosevelt had been or Bry- an would be. The colonel of the first part is out of the running for 1912. The colonel of the second part has not declared himself. but in case he does, will the voters turn about and reverse their former judgment? Colonel Roosevelt evidently thinks so, or he would not appropriate Colo nel Bryan's wearing apparel, his po- litical assets and his parts of speech.
 The Courier-Journal's objection to Colonel Bryan turned mainly upon the point that he was a dreamer. He promised both the people and him. self too much His yoluble simplic- ity and innocent transparency sub jected him to every manner of mis- conception and misrepresentation. He was a moral philosopher rather than a statesman. He was a captivating pleader; not a man of affairs.
 Had Colonel Bryan been elected president, he could have achieved few if any. of the idealisms to which he had committed his party and him. self with such spontaneous and con fident belief Things would have gone on measurably in the accustom. ed way. The president of the United States is neither a law giver nor a lord high executioner: unless. in deed, we decree that he be by talk ing Theodore Roosevelt at his word and returning the colonel of the sec ond part to power, charged with the life work of uplifting private moral. and beautifying the public service.
 Colonel Bryan, whilst at times little hay as to the precise line sep arating church and state, nationa and local jurisdiction, was yet !;
