Frankfort during meetings of the legis-
latures in times past There is a loud cry
for harmony, and Gov. Harmon, Gov
Marshall, Senator Kern, Speaker Clark
and Oscar Underwood are leading it. All
but Mr.. Underwood have spoken in the
state. and he is due in few days.
The Wilson men in New Jersey are
nervous. republican legislature follow
ing the democratic victory of last year
would cold water the Wilson presiden-
tial boom. And so the big drums are
beating and democrats are told to fall IN.
But more than democrats must fall in if a
Wilson legislature is to be elected. The
Wilson victory of last year was assisted
by many republicans. Will many repub-
licans assist this year, with the knowl-
edge that Gov. Wilson's presidential for
tunes are in the scale?
Tammany's hopes for another demo-
cratic legislature in New York are
founded upon what effect such a result
would have on the states influence i'll the
next democratic national convention. 1t
will raise the cry in time. 1t will point
out that two democratic victories in the
state in two years-the second the year
before the presidential race-wll be a
record to conjure with in national affairs,
while a republican victory next month
will be read as a warning against New
York.
This only hope of the German men in
Maryland is in substituting national for
state affairs. Such frauds as have just
been perpetrated and exposed in Balti-
more should be enough to defeat a party
in its local aspirations. SO that the APP
peal will be on national grounds. 1t
Gov. CrOthers is succeeded in office by Il
republican the result will tell against the
democratic nominee for President next
year. Such will be the message to those
democrats who are inclined to rebuke the
Baltimore bosses for their latest capers.
Everywhere is heard the same note.
Both parties are thinking of next year,
and pointing to il.

State Supervision of Dams.
Philadelphia Ledger


Gov. Tener's promise to urge legisla-
ton which will give the state control
over water-power dams is in the right
direction. Legislation along those lines
will but fill in and complete the powers
of the state water supply commission
created in 1905, and since engaged
chiefly in matters involving the con-
servatiOn of water supplies for power
and domestic uses. 1t has been COM
monty supposed that the powers of the
commission extended to the design of
structures built and maintained by
water companies. and the engineering
staff of the commission has been en-
gagged in the inspection of the plans of
projected power plants and the survey
of streams capable of economic de-
velOpment. Whether the dam at Austin,
built since the creation of the state
commission, came under the supervision
of the engineers of that body will be
developed by the investigation to be
made and in which the state we'll as
the county authorities will participate.
but the known facts about the Austin
disaster indicate that no supervisory
power whatever was exercised either to
prevent the use Of the dam in it's weak
ened state or to compel the alterations
and repairs essential to put it in a safe
condition.

ried so far without office to aid him.
Why not? Which of his followers could
do SO much for the cause? Gov. Wilson
is a new convert. and while Mr.. Clark
has always been Bryanite. and Is an
able man, he does not. Of course. repre-
sent Bryanism as thoroughly as the au-
thor himself does.
So that Mr.. Bryan. in his claim, proves
too much if he would take himself out
Of the presidential equation. He fires his
followers with increased devotion. To the
extent they think that he has ben doing IL
all they are wishing more power to his c-
bow. and figuring on an opportunity ~

Baron Rosen and the Reporters

From the New York World.
Baron ROsen, the retiring Russian
ambassador, was asked yesterday for
some utterance upon the war for TripOli.
He replied:
Il have spent thirty-fiv years in this
country and in all that time l have never
been misquOted by a newspaper man.
am therefore certain that none of you
will quote me now incorrectly when l
say that / cannot speak on any public
subject for I am still true to my train
ing as a diplomat.
Baron Rosen's experience is that OF
most public men. No one ever talked to
reporters with more startling freedom
than Mr.. Roosevelt when President. His
confidence was once misused by French
writer. who did not understand the I'M
written law of reticence, but never by an
American. Our able Secretaries of State,
Knox and Root and Hay. have spoken
frankly to Washington correspondents of
the closest diplomatic secrets. indicating
what could be printed and what could
not. without betrayal. Newspapers COM
init errors enough of haste, of overzeal
of ignorance, of misjudgment, and re-
pOrters naturally share these qualities
But we know of no other class of men
whose word is more habitually reliable
than that of reporters.

Bryan and Organism.

Mr.. Bryan has adopted a jocular tone
in replying to questions about fourth
nomination for the presidency. He fears
that as one republican President has
used part of his platform. and another
the whole of il. he might have to meet
the issue of a third term. Witty, but
wabbiy.
AS a matter of fact, Organism has not
been put into action yet in national af-
fairs. There is no Organism in the trust
LEGISLATION. That was enacted several
years before Mr.. Bryan entered Congress,
and six years before he became a ma
tional quantity.
There is no Organism in the tariff law
nor in propositions for its revision. The
Payne law is a protection measure. and
Mr. Cnderwood's leadership for changes
in il is under Mr.. Bryan's condemnation
Mr.. BRYAN regards Mr.. Underwood as a
metropolitan.
The railroad legislation enacted in the
last few years Is not Bryanistic. 1t does
not go far enough to meet Mr.. Bryan S
program. Had he been in the White House
and addressing a democratic Congress
under his influence. he would have asked
for and secured measures of more far
reaching character. lie believes that gov
eminent ownership and operation must in
the end prevail.
In what particulars then. has the oppo-
sition borrowed from Mr. Bryan? What
policies of his have shaped republican &C
tiono
But what Mr.. Bryan says is accepted
by many of his friends They believe. as
he does that his teachings have pre-
vailed. although he himself has been de-
MED office. Democracy. they think. is
synonymous with Organism. and repub-
licanism almost so.
And in this contention rests the hope of
those democrats who favor Mr. Bryan
for a fourth nomination. They say, with
much earnestness, that the improved party
prospects are due entirely to him; that
but for his activities the party would
still be in the trough Of the sea. And they
follow this up by asking if In the cir
