Mr.. Bryan's Anguish.

A Democratic caucus of the
House Of Representatives unani-
mously agreed upon a wool scked-
ule greatly reducing the duties
now in effect, and Mr.. Bryan de-
nOunceS this as q surrender to
protection. The Democrats Of
the United States Senate select
Senator Martin to be minority
leader, and Mr.. Bryan assails
him as an assistant Republican.
A Democratic Chief Justice Of
the United States Supreme Court
hands down the unanimous deci-
sion of that court diSsolving the
Standard Oil Co. and the Tobac-
go Trust as unlawful combina-
tons and Mr.. Bryan was the first
to declare that the trusts have
won."
A Democratic Governor of Ohio
is reelected by a plurality of
100, 900; so Mr.. Bryan is con-
WINGED hat he is unavailable as
a candidate for president because
he does not represent the pro-
g~ressive tendencies of our par
ty."
And so the story runs.
No Democratic action is salts
factory to Mr.. Bryan unless he
formulates it. No Democrat can
measure up to Mr.. Bryan's stand
ards of Democracy unless he is
subservient to Mr.. Bryan. Three
times defeated for the presiden-
cy, the possibility of Democratic
victory under new leadership in
1912 brings him eXcruciating
mental anguish, which finds re-
lief only in preparations to knife
the ticket in advance of its nomi.

of the captains have been assigned.
This regiment has been struck heav-

half a dozen captains of the Fifth

and most of them are assigned to
other regiments.

Mr. Owens, who told the committee
she represented the non-Mormon party

Secretary of the Navy Meyer, who
had replied: You seem to think this
is a very small matter; it is a political
matter, and demands a great deal of

The Navy Department, Mrs. owen
says, had never made any promise
in the matter. Protests made to Presi-

Mrs. A. V. Waghams, who said she

against Brigham Young's picture on

Mormon missionaries would use it in
their labor of distributing the propa-

THREE BILLS TO MEET HARLAN'S
VIEWS IN STANDARD OIL CASE

WASHINGTON, May 18.-In the
Senate yesterday interest in the Stan
dard Oil decision crystallized in the
introduction of three bills designed to
make more effective the antitrust
law. Senator Jones of Washington,
Senator Culberson of Texas, and Sen
ator Reed of Missouri each introduced
bills dealing with the subject. The
measures were referred to the COM
mittee on judiciary, which will decide
whether to report them at this ses-
sion or not,
Mr.. Reeds bill proposes to add to
section l of the Sherman act the fol-
lowing:
Every such contract, combination
or conspiracy is hereby declared to be
unreasonable and illegal, and shall be
so considered, taken and held, in all
proceedings at law and in equity"
To the second section there is pro-
posed to be added these words: "All
monopolies or attempts to monopolize,
and all combinations or conspiracies
are hereby declared to be unreason,
able and illegal, and shall be so con,
sidered, taken and held, in all pro-
ceedings at law and in equity"
Mr.. Jones bill would add to the
Sherman act these words:
Every contract, combination in the
form of a trust, or otherwise, or con
spiracy in restraint of trade or com
merce among the several states oil
with foreign nations, whether such re
straint be reasonable or unreasonable
is hereby declared to be Illegal"
Senator Culberson's bill adds to sec
lions / and of the Sherman act so as
to define the combination therein
mentioned or combinations in re
