PREpIcTIoNs ON 1912.

Those political prophets who tnvari-
ably see the certainty of democratic
success in the year preceding presiden-
|tial elections are advised by the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat to wait few
months before making their predic-
tons, for the reason that the uncertain
ties of party action are, chiefly on the
democratic side. No one can tell, the
st. Louis paper says, who Will head
the democratic ticket, what the demo-
cratic paramount issue will be, or what
the party may attempt in the way OF
fusion. The republicans can foresee
their candidate and an adherence to
long.established principles. Believing
that in the general situation leaf
from history is instructive, the Globe
Democrat submits the following:
At the republican national conven-
ton sof 1896 Mr. Bryan was the I'M
Known correspondent OF small news
paper. The next month he was IN
Chicago as member OF q contesting
delegation from Nebraska to the demo.
cratic national convention. He was
not admitted as a delegate for several
sessions. Two days after the con-
testants from Nebraska were seated,
one of them, William J. Bryan, with
whom the country was unacquainted,
headed the democratic ticket on q
platform containing propositions never
before accepted by the democratic
party. The prophets saw nothing of
this in advance, nor of the extraordi-
narily exciting campaign that followed.
On the strength Of fusion Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived 100000 more votes than any
former democratic nominee had OBJ.
tanned Yet 1t was not enough. The
suddenness with which the democratic
party has swung In new directions is
the main point to consider now in
estimating the uncertainties OF next
year The capacity Of the party to
blunder also enters into the case.

PASSING oFTHE BLUpGEoh.

PASSING FgTHE BLUDGEoN.
Commenting on the sentencing of the
McNamaras, District Attorney Fred
ericks of Los Angeles, who success
fully conducted the prosecution Of the
case, said 5r4
"Some of the statements from union
labor leaders are sincere and some are
not. Some Of the men who are making
the ;1oudest public .utterances are impli-
Gated In the dynamiting outrages for
which these men were sentenced today.
1.-THE case is not yet closed. I believe
that never since the civil war has the
United States passed through such q
crisis as was involved In this tremend-
GUS case n 4 II
II believe that this trial and the
ultimate results will mark the passing
OF the bludgeon, the walking delegate
and the dynamiter from the ranks of
union labor. II this happens, as am
confident it will, labor will have
cleansed itself and untold good will
follow"
Undoubtedly the disclosures at Los
Angeles will arouse the rank and fils
of the members of the unions to the
necessity Of taking greater interest
in the conduct of their organizations.
The dangers OF unsafe leadership, Of
allowing the radical element to gain
the upper. hand, have been made
clear. The dynamiter and the slugger
have been shown up in their true light,
las the greatest enemies of labor, as
men to be driven out of the organiza-
tions upon which they can only bring
discredit. + vas

to indicate the season will begin much
later than usual for all the freight

Most of the lumber carriers will
delay going into service as mart of
the plan to secure higher rate than
was paid last year. From the head of
the lakes, it is reported an unusually
large amount Of coal remains on the
