SUPPORTING 4 LEADER.

Washington dispatches report that
many Democratic Senators were scan
dalized when hey read Mr.. Bryan's at
TACK Oh Senator Martin, the newly
elected chairman of the Democratic eau
Gus. in the last issue Of The Com
moner" They had good reason TO be,
for the attack is surprisingly bitter. Mr..
Bryan could hardly have said harsher
things if he had been writing about Sen
ator Bailey. II is hard TO account for
the fierceness with which Mr.. Martin is
Sssailed, except on the ground that Mr..
Bryan has some personal feeling against
him or knows much more that is dis
creditable in his record as q public man
than other people know.
Mr. Martin has been n Senator for six
teen years. but outside the Senate and
his own state ne has made practically
no impression as a Democratic leader.
He has taken almost no part in debate
IN the Senate and rarely appears on the
stump. He has been classified as q con
seryative Democrat, and in that he rep
resents the temper of Virginia, bur his
conservatism has never interfered with
his acceptance Of radical Democratic
platforms lie was nominated as chair
man of the Democratic Senate caucus
chiefly because Of his long service and
his freedom from personal and factional
antaeonisms His qualifications were
negative rather than positive. Yet Mr..
BRYAN assalls him rs if he were dan
gerous and powerful leader. capable Of
binding mp n reactionary organization
within the party. The charges which
gre brought against the Virginia Senator
arc these That he Is not with the
"wbOle people in their struggle against
especial privilege" but wholly and I'M
reservcdly" against them: that "his rec
ord is Just about as bad rs II could be-:
that he lacks ability as speaker. is n
mere machine politician and Is likely TO
make "Marjinsm" obnoxious" both 10
The Democracy and 10 the country.
70 most readers the ovcr-empbasis Of
these charges musi greatly weaken their
effect. There is little apparent danger Of
Mr.. Martins reyOluiioniziDc the Demo
cratic party or upsettlDg the balance Of
forces now existing within ii. His pow
err rs leader are restricted and he will
use them cautiously. He is not a trouble

CTYN'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR
HriLTH

A novel and significant step has just
been taken in the process Of safeguard
ing the public health by insisting upon
III uncontaminatcd supply of potable
water. This amounts 10 nothing less
than holding a city responsible for The
purity Of the water which IL distributes
10 its inhabitants, aud therefore for
whatever sickness may be caused BIS

taminated in preventablc manner
The case arose In the city Of Mankato,
Mimi. A citizen contracted typhoid
fever through drinking the city water,
which had become polluted with sewage,
and died Of that disease. His heirs
tLereupon instituted a suit against the
city for indemnity. on the ground that il
had neeligently and knowingly per
mfted its water supply 10 become 20

GEORGETOWN HOPES
FOR STRONG SQUAD
Of TRACK WONDERS
Not Since Days of Duffy and
Wefers Has Outlook
Been So Promising.

Never since the days when Arthur
Duffy and Bernie Wefers wore the Blue
and Gray of Georgetown has the Hilltop
school had such excellent prospects of
turning out a winning track team as il
has this year. Even when those famous
record holders were in college the insti-
tuition on the heights never bcasted Of a
better balanced team that the one which
will represent it this season promises
to be.
Not only will the dasnes and runs be
well taken care of, but the field events
will also be in the hands Of men well
fitted to win points Tor the Blue and
been absent from Georgetown track
teams.
Rheinchild, the Western lad, of the
football squad, has been putting the
sixteen-pound shot with great form OF
late, and, considering the little time he
has had to train, has been sending il
good distances. If he continues to i'm
prove, as he should do when II ack worh
begins in earnest at the end of the foot.
ball season, there is little doubt that
he will develop into point winner.
BarrisceIlo, Wymard, and White, OF
the football team, and Eller are also
weight men of marked ability Barris-
cello in last years games was second
only to Fitzpatrick, OF Yale, in putting
the sixteen-pound shot, and with a
years experience should better his rec
ord considerably. Costello will repre-
sent the team in the pole vault, and
should win many firsts during the gca-
son.
Among the men who will be entered
IN the dashes are Captain Carrigan,
twice winner of the fifty-yard dash last
winter; Bob EIer, many times a point
winner for Fordham University in
1901; Beatty, of st. Laurent College,
Montreal, who entered the junior class
this year after two years track work
in Canada. and Rodriguez, of last years
prep team.
Vlymen, Brigham, Chapman, all men
