BRYAN's FIGHT ON HARTMAN.

CONSERVATIVE Democrats have about de-
~ cided upon Governor Harmon, OF Ohio as
their next presidential candidate, and OF course
MIR. Bryan has opened fire upon him. Should the
Governor be reelected next autumn, he would
have great boom for the presidential nomina-
ton. Should he be defeated his chances would
not be destroyed. There has been some talk of
Governor Marshall of Indiana for president but
the fierce factiOnal feud i'm that state between Mr.
Marshall and the Hon. Thomas Taggart, who, as
National Chairman led the Democrats to in
glorious defeat will affect adversely Marshall as
a candidate.
Mr.. Bryan is suspicious of Governor Harmon.
1t looks as if he intends to kill off the governor
before he gets very far down the presidential race
track. Mr.. Bryan attacks Mr. Harmon by asking
him why he did not do as Governor Marshall did
demand that the Democratic state convention
make known its choice for United States Scna-
tor that is elect the senator as far as possible
The governor replies that he did not wish to
mix up the situation in Ohio, but preferred to
permit the senatorial question to remain to be
settled at the proper time This certainly will
arouse still further the suspicious of Mr. BRYAN
and incidentally his followers who are stan num-
erous in Ohio. They are already limiting at dark
lantern methods and possibility that some Dem
ocrat in favor OF the interests will be chosen SEN
atOr should the Democrats win. And there are
several indications that Governor Harmon is in
league with these conservatives who will again
try to Parkerize the party
The governor PLAYED fast and lost with leoisla-
ton demanded by the Ohio progressivcs Mr.
Bryan and his friends know this and perhaps they
arc trying to knock out the governor as a presi-
dental possibility by alternating enough BRYAN
men from him to bring about his defeat at tho
next election for governor

address before the Episcopal Convention at
Laurel delivered by the Rev. Dr. Hubert W.
Wells. According to Mr. Wells, experts from the
National Child Labor Committee have been in
vestigating conditions among the children in
Wilmington They seem TO have found them
about like conditions in other cities.
The interest and activity displayed in social
welfare is remarkable and the churches arc fore

of the child is the most important bit of conscr-

more alert than ever before The physical as we'll
as the mental education of children is being un-
dcrta<en with gratifying results. The question of
Fairgrounds for children is under discussion in
almost every city, Wilmington among others.
Points about children who are forced to work
such Mr. Wells considered are matters of much
concern and debate throughout the country.
Factory laws and their enforcement everywhere
are engaging attention
Al these efforts are making for better couu-

is what is termed uplft work. The spirit of al

In several counties throughout the
state members of the boards of super
vsors have concluded that the assess
ments are too low and are yelling to
the tax commission for help This
is the condition in several counties
where supervisors ask the commits
sion to cooperate with them in rails
ing values. pointing out that II they
attempt the job alone the other SUI
pervisors will jeer at them, and only
their own districts will be boosted.
II is announced at Lansing that
help will be extended, along with a
threat that IL the other supervisors
do not do what is right the commits
sion may have something to say al
ter the board of review has COM
pleted its work.
AS illustrative OF the difference In
valuation in cities of about the same
size in this state the commission gives
out the valuation in 1909 OF several
cities as follows:
Lansing, sl9.746,425; Flint. $14,41S.-
960; Battle Creek, $19,212,S00; Jack
son. $16,04G,465; Kalamazoo, $2O,652,-
430.
The moral adorning this tale. the
commission declares, is that property
owners in Lansing have been getting
much the best of It. They refer to
the statement the other day that the
REQ auto plant could be purchaser
for $7,000,000, and add that those fig
ures represent half the assessed valu-
alton of the capital city, according TO
the figures.
