William r Heart.

While on tho subject Of democratic har-
mony: Is 1t not Of Consequence to note
that William r. Hearst seems to be back
in the fold? He led the fight for Carter
Harrison in Chicago. and was publicly
thanked by the successful candidate for
his activities. Mr.. Harrison was the
democratic nominee. and won as such

matter Of national legislation. and. as
matters now stand. IL Mr. Clark should
be nominated for President. why should
not Mr.. Hearst support him?
Mr.. Hearst has grown both in political
and In journalistic power since he Of
fered for President in 1904. His democ.
racy was then unquestioned. 1t was his
sagacity that men doubted. Now 1t is
his democracy that needs a word of rec

was brought before the plant owner. The
girl was sent to a sanatorium and re-
turned cured. Others similarly affected
were sent away for treatment and re-
cuperation. The movement extended from
one manufacturing establishment to an
other, and the latest count Is that the
plan has been embraced by LOO New
England manufacturers. and that tens or
thousands of employees are benenciaries
Of the system. The treatment SENDS the
employe back to work a better, more
cheerful and more productive worker and
a missionary who spreads the gospel OF
hope. sunshine, good air and cleanliness
among fellow-workers.
A fourth phase is that Of the efforts
making to eradicate prison tuberculosis.
The National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis has found
a fruitful field for its labors in the penal
and correctional institutions Of the United
States. Health in these places is general
ly better than it was decade ago, due
to a clearer understanding Of the causes
of consumption and to prison reforms
which give to prisoners a more sanitary
environment and larger chance for ex-
ercise in air and sun. However, much
remains to be done to cleanse prisons OF
the consumption scourge 1t seems just
that in view of the many efforts making
to alleviate the lot of convicts and to
return them to freedom as better men.
this class of unfortunates should not be
sentenced to infection.
Prison reform in many places Is IN
terpreted as meaning outdoor occupation
for prisoners. as on large farms. ana
this plan will no doubt not only protect
the prisoners themselves, but increase the
safety Of the world at large.

par. He has been. doing things which
testify to cleas judgment a. - politics
and politicians.
Mr.. Hearst opposed Judge Gaynor for
mayor. and predicted that if elected he
would fail in office. That prediction seems
we'll on the way to fulfillment. There Is
much impatience with Mayor Gaynor in
circles which were instrumental in his
election Things are at skies and sevens
in the big town, and the mayor is get
ting the blame 1t is generally agreed
that but for the dastardly assault on him
which came SO near to ending his life.
and which aroused so much sincere SYM
pathy, he would today be under the hot
test fire ever directed at a mayor of New
York.
In the gubernatorial race last year Mr..
Hearst opposed the Dix candidacy. first.
on the score that the nomination had
been made by Charles F. Murphy. and.
second. that the candidate did not pos
sess the elements of leadership. What
would not the Independents of the state
now give If they had accepted Mr..
Hearsts appraisement of the situation
How frequently In the past three months
have they lamented taking orders which
issued from room 212 of Rochester ho-
tel last September! Mr.. Hearst "called
the turn" like an old player long familiar
with the New York deck.
The Independence League did not meet
his expectations. 1t did not develop even
by the forcing process he was able to
apply But he has developed and his
newspapers have multiplied. and IL his
performance at Chicago and his satisfac-
ton in Speaker Clark's success are indi-
cations of his future. the democrats have
reason to be thankful. And If they have
no fatted calf in their corral, they should
send out and rope one for the occasion.

The Anti. CONSUMPTION Crusade.

Efforts to enlist the churches Of Amer
lea In tho nationwide fight against the
white plague are succeeding. and the call
Of the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis for the
observance by the churches Of "Tubercu-
losis Sunday will doubtless meet with
general response.
There are four conspicuous phases Of
the anti-consumption crusade. The state
and county sanatorium feature has been
given q great deal Of publicity, and this
work Is extending. The home treatment
phase has been gaining. the average run
Of people coming to understand that fresh
air is good. whether 1t be homo air or
foreign air.
Another phase is that which has come
to be called the Worcester plan. EN-
ployers Of labor are cooperating in an
increasing measure with efforts to ex-
tirpate this plague. The Worcester plan
has had a good growth in New England.

A New Road to Arlington.

Representative CarlinS bill which
would authorize the Secretary OF war
to have constructed a direct road lead
ing from the south end OF the High
way bridge to Arlington deserves sup
port. Many reasons might be urged
in it's behalf. 1t would make Airing
ton, which every year is coming into
increased popular reverence as a ma
tional shrine, easier Of approach by
carriage. auto or afoot. The. way
would lead over level country and the
climbing would not begin till one
reached the oak and cedar shaded
east slope Of the heights. The pilgrim
would be ushered into the most beau
tfful part Of Arlington. On the road
from Rosslyn the climbing is done for
the most part outside the reservation.
The proposed road would increase tho
use Of the Highway bridge. for at pres
emit one strikes bad roads soon after
crossing 1t. II one keeps south on the
road to Alexandria by Four-Mile run
he uses a road Of choking dust in sum-
mer and deep mud in winter. the way
being pulverized in one season and
rutted in the other by trains of brick
wagons and other heavy trafflc. If
one turns west on, the Columbia pike
the same conditions are met. Access
to Arlington over the Highway bridge
is to be gained now by travelling west
on the Columbia pike and then turning
north along the old stage road that
passes tho east gates OF Arlington.
The east entrance to Arlington is the
historic one. When George Washing
ton. Parke Custis built Arlington House
soon after the death Of his grand
mother. Mrs. Washington. he planned
that Arlington should be entered from
the east, the stage road from New
England to the south passing along the
lowland at the foot Of the eastern
slope. The east entrance continued to
be used by the Lee family when Mrs.
Lee inherited the estate from her
father
The back roads to Arlington came
into general use when after the de-
parture Of Gen. Lee for Richmond to
assume command Of the Virginia troops
the Union authorities decided to fortify
the heights OF Arlington because Of
their command Of Washington. The
federals then undertook the construc-
ton OF the line OF earthworks west
ward OF Arlington. beginning with
Forts Smith and Bennett west Of tho
Aqueduct bridge and continuing the
line southwark with about TWENTY-FIVE
other forts and numerous batteries till
the highland south Of Cameron run
was reached.
It would be better to construct the
memorial bridge from Potomac Park to
tho Virginia shore. entering the low
lands Of thA ArlinGton reservation d.
rectly. But q good highway from the
new bridge to Arlington would be USE
full now and for all time.

Mr.. Bryan and the Senate.

Mr.. Bryan spoke with less than his
usual felicity in New Jersey Wednesday
night when he said that I'VE are weak at
Washington only in the Senate" He should
not have put 1t Just that way. Neither
the word weak nor I'VE" was we'll
chosen.
1t is true that Mr.. Bryan himself is
weak in the Senate, but not the demo-
cratic party. As a matter of fact. he has
: never been strong there. Had the demo-
Gratis OF that body been able to carry out
their program in 1896. Mr.. Bryan would
not have been nominated for President.
They wanted Mr. Teller-then the ablest
. champion Of silver in the Senate. and who
- had just broken with the republicans on
that issue. The hysteria at Chicago which
brought Mr. Bryan forward panied them
very much, and disarranged all their
plans.
When the peace terms with Spain were
awaiting action by the Senate Mr.. Bryan
hurried to town and tried to impose his
!. views on the democratic members. They
were opposed to ratification. because of
the proposition to take over the Philip
pines. He favored ratification. with the
object of bringing the Philippines under
American control and then setting up an
sion was in vain. The democratic SEN
ators refused to follow him. Since then
Mr.. Bryan and the Senate have only
nodded as they passed by.
But the democratic party in the past
two decades has not been stronger in the
Senate than 1t is today. One has only to
consult the party list to see how strong
It Is. The superior of Mr.. Bailey. either
as debater or parliamentarian, has not
appeared In that time. AS a speaker Mr..
Rayner is a great improvement on Mr..
German, and has besides, what Mr.. Cor
man did not have. knowledge of the law.
Mr.. Bacon we'll supports the high Georgia
standard. Mr.. Simmons and MI. Overman
reflect great credit on their constituents.
BY Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Swanson Virginia
10 excellently served. And Mr.. Shively.
with improved health, should be as useful
- either Mr.. Turpie or Mr.. Voorhees, was
in q former day. There are weak spots,
but when did they not exist?
Mr.. Bryan has grounds for his appraise-
ment. but as they relate to him and not
70 his party he should express himself, If
at all on the subject. with diplomacy. 1t
begins to look as if he might dominate his
party again. THE democracy? 1t Is J."
And. according to this. If the Senate is
weak as respects him. it is weak as
respects the party. Still. he should d.
plcme. The Senate is extremely sensi-
tive. and must be reckoned with on its
own terms. It cannot be lectured or driven
70 the support Of measures. Mr. Cleveland
discovered that. though too late. even II
he had been disposed to reverse himself
and take the proper course. But MT.
Bryan Is strong in tho House. and we
may expect to hear from him over there
through his friends and adnirers.

The Budding Booms.

Make room! Make room!
For the presidential boom!
They come in proper season as the
howrets sweetly bloom:
Some 50 shy and some so Haunting,
Some so delicately haunting
That they linger through the gloom
Like the ghost OF a perfume.
Some are sad and some are sunny;
Some are grave and some are funny;
Some are modest, dropping low
Meath belated drifts Of snow;
But the shapes that they assume
Mostly meet a common doom.
Desiccated and i'll fated.
Laid upon ambitions tomb:
And what greets you through the
gloom
Is the ghost Of a perfume.

Fire Drills.

The efficacy Of fire drills in schools
has been proved. Children are prob
ably no more inclined to panic in time
Of fire than are their elders. II it is
necessary to direct the child by re-
iterated and persistent drills to the
road to safety, it is no less necessary
to offer the same guidance to those
who work in crowded factory build
ings. Existing state laws may not per-
nit Of compulsory fire drills, but it
should not be matter Of compulsion.

man sympathy with his desire to make

few minutes every day for training
his employees in how to meet the dan
ger Of fire.

but more particularly while they serv-

no more than accept the cane and
voice his hearty appreciation. Mr..
