cautiously and with elaboration TO
justify the confidence the people have
placed in it, and that nothing must
be done to get the business interests
OF the country against H.
Mr. Clark says he realizes that the
Democrats are on trial, and that they
must move cautiously Mr. Clark is
not going to try to force his tariff for
revenue policy upon the Democratic
party in the lower house. 1t is appar-
ent that while Mr. Clark and his fell
low Democrats were willing enough TO
blame the high cost of living upon
the tariff, and to use that to get votes
wherever possible, they have no inten-
ton OF trying to put their fine-spun
tree trade theories into effect 1t is
one thing to be destructive. and an
other to be constructive. The Demo-
cratic party always was most graceful
in trying to tear something down. but
as party of advancement il has had
but little effect upon the history Of
the nation.
The Democratic congressional lead
er is looking for a compromise and
he will accept anything that will not
give the Democratic party something
to explain. Every move made by the
Democrats in this Congress and the
next one will be with an eye fixed
upon the national election two years
away. 1t is the firm belief OF the
leaders of the Democratic party that
it will be able to elect its candidate
for President at the next national
election, unless some grievous mis-
takes are made by the party in Con-
gress before that time.
So it will be well for the people to
expect that party to play waiting
game for the next two years. Mr..
Clark's attitude is plainly Indicative
OF. the attitude of the others of his
party. The tariff is not going to be
touched by Democratic hands if it can
be avoided. Just how far and how
fast Mr.. Bryan will be able to prod the
Democratic donkey it is difficult at
this time TO predict. But Mr.. Bryan
has a great many enemies in his par
ty, and they are all laying for him in
dark alley with a piece of gas pipe.
They mean to put him out of the run
ming before the next Democratic ma
tional convention.
While the Republican party may
feel itself sorely wounded in many
parts OF its anatomy. 1t will find
much occasion for joy In the next two
years. Two Democrats with the flesh
pots between them never did agree
and never will.

4 LESSON IN POIITENEss.

There was once a very industrious
police reporter In New York, who
made the round OF the police stations
in a certain district. The situation
was the same at each station he Wis
tied. He found a fat policeman sit
ting at a desk. He had on gorgeous
uniform with plenty OF gold lace upon
it. and he was always sitting on his
shoulders. with his feet on the desk.
and smoking a big. fat, black cigar.
an insolent stare at the reporter, he
would ask languidly and gruffly,
What the devil do you want here?"
There wasn't much variation from
this at the various stations. There was
a policeman always Of the same type,
with the same supercilious air. the
same attitude Of owning the station,
the police force. and the city. 1t got
on the young reporters nerves and he
talked to people about 1t. Occasional
ly he would talk TO a police commits
little difference. and the type still OBJ
tanned. The young reporter thought
a great deal; he figured that he was
not getting the reception at the sta
tons to which he was entitled as a
citizen Of the nation and OF the city.
Years went on, and the situation
did not change at all The stranger
who went TO the police station could
get no satisfaction. He had to be
accompanied by one OF Tammany's
district leaders before he could get
a hearing at all
Finally the young reporter left the
newspaper business. He went into a
vocation less exciting and interesting.
but more productive of the where
withal to pay his board bills. The
other night he made another tour of
the police stations This time he rode
in an automobile. He found the same
fat policemen or their counterparts,
sitting as they were some years be-
fore. and giving about the same atten-
ton to the stranger within their
gates. AS he left each police station.
he left the fat policeman sitting up
in his chair looking rather surprised,
and more attentive TO what was go
ing on about him.
Clement ]. Driscoll. the young po-
lice reporter, had become First Deputy
Police Commissioner Driscoll, and
when the fat policemen learned his
identity they sat up and took notice.
He had taken the trouble to admins

HAS TEURKE
A TRUMP
CARD?
BELIEF THAT POLICE COMMITS
SIONER HAS SOMETHING
UP HIS SLEEVE,

Police Commissioner Tuerke is
believed to have trump card up
his sleeve in the Judge Webster
matter. He is maintaining a dis
Greet silence as to the charges in
connection with the Judge Webster
expose, but it is believed that when
the time comes Tuerke will be on
hand with the dope"
The police commissioner TO-DAY
refused to make statement as to
the probability of hostile council
manic action at the meeting next
Tuesday night. He appears to be
suffering from no uneasiness on
this score.
From sources other than Tuerke
it is learned that it will be shown
that the charges against Judge
Webster were on file in two news
paper offices in Spokane before
Tuerke left the city and that. his
going to Cynthiana, KY, had moth
ing to do with the publication in
the Chicago Daily Socialist. Tuerke,
unfortunately for him, encountered
the correspondent of the socialist
paper in Cynthiana, and hence the
charge that he was the inspiration
behind the publication.
The Teurke matter has stirred up
a hornets nest SO that the end will
be hard to foretell. Mayor Pratt, in
reappointing Teurke to office after
he was once removed by the city
council, must stand sponsor for his
actions, and the controersy before
it ends wal inolve others at the
city hall. 1t is an interesting situa-
ton and will bear watching closely.
