drel" The government has sold OUT
to the country's enemies. In their own
party the blue-blooded Hugh Cecil and
his gang of disturbers are plotting to de-
pose from leadership Mr.. Balfour and
Lord Lansdowne and substitute strong
men like themselves. 1t was an amaZ-
ing scene the house of commons wit
messed. Nothing like 1t has ever before
been tolerated at Westminster. Members
have been suspended for far less insult
ing remarks than were addressed to Mr..
Asuuith over and over again from the
tory side The disgraceful outbreak had
been deliberately planned and was en-
couraged by men in the front rank of the
party, who would be certain to figure in
any tory cabinet. Even Mr.. Balfour
found occasion to excuse 1t. Mr.. Asquith
will survive the incident. He will be
stronger for it, for decent opinion In
England cannot but be outraged by such
political tactics. The veto of the house
of lords will be abolished-if not with the
peers consent, by the creation of new
peers. This exhibition of blackguardism
must be harmful to the tory cause.

The democrats did not indorse Mr..
Bryan for President. because he had ex-
pressly stated that he was not a candi-
date. But they indorsed the national
platform of 1908. which he dictated to
the letter and upon which he stood as the
partys candidate that year. They point
ed with pride to Nebraska's prominence
in national affairs, which is to be as
cribed more largely to Mr.. Bryan than
to any other son of the soil. They de-
tailed with commentator policies with
which Mr. Bryan's name is more promi-
nentIy identified than that of any other
democrat in the whole country. They in
dorsed by name the House. farmers free

where a full state ticket and legisla-
ture are to be elected, will be fought
largely on the. temperance question State
wide prohibition is not the issue, but
local option, with the county as unit,
is. The republicans have already declared
in favor of the county-unit proposition,
and the democrats at their platform con-
vention next month may be forced to fol-
low suit. Friends of temperance are
numerous in the democratic party, and.

If the distillers. the brewers and the
saloonkeepers could control matters they
would keep the whole temperance ques-
ton out Of the democratic platform. But,
while that was unlikely before, it would
now appear to be impossible. The result
of this Texas contest shows how very
strong the question is within the ranks
of the southern democracy, and that the
Kentucky democrats must in some way
meet It,
But a county-unit declaration by them
may not satisfy the extreme temperance
men in the party-may not be accepted
as sincere. For the liquor interests will
not balk at it, coming from that source
but still remain loyal and active in be-
half of the democratic ticket

To ignore him would have been folly; to

The Wiley Case.

The situation which confronts the Pres-
dent In the matter of DR.. Wlleys tech
meal offense In the employment of pure
food law expert is not in principle
changed by the fact as reported, that
the Secretary of Agriculture has joined
his recommendation for dismissal with
that of the Attorney General. In point or
fact. Secretary Wilson's view of the case
should have been formally set forth at
an early stage of the proceedings, 1T
would seem that the whole matter had
been handled wrong, without regard for
departmental procedure. and particularly
with no reference to the possible embar-
rassment of the President.
The case remains precisely where ii was
at the outset. An officer of the govern
ment who has done invaluable work in
the public interest in the enforcement of
the law against food and drug adultera-
ton, and who is regarded by the people
with practically no exceptions as their
friend, Is accused of an offense which at
the worst is only technical. and which has
i'm no degree been inspired by motives of
personal gain or advantage, but which
resulted in securing the services at an
extremely low figure of perhaps the most
highly qualified expert available to the
government. There has been no graft
but rather q conscientious effort to OBJ
tain the means to enforce the law against
food and drug fraud.
The punishment of DR.. Wiley, no mat
ter what the reasoning employed by those
recommending it, will be regarded by the
public victory for the interests that
have for years been shrewdly, bitterly
and persistently fighting him because he
stood between them and the working of
food and drug frauds upon the psblic
If he should be dismissed, no matter who
his successor might be. faith in the exc
cution of the law designed for the pro-
lection of the public health would be
seriously shaken, requiring years of the
most conscientious and painstaking labors
oy the Department Of Agriculture to re-
store it.
These considerations must have weight
with the President In his judicial review
of the case, regardless of the fact that
two of his cabinet advisers stand COM
mitted. if 1t is true that DIR. Wiley's i'm
mediate chief has recommended his con
dign punishment

Texas Defeats Prohibition.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Strange things happen in Texas, but
the most curious is the wonderful pro-
hibition campaign that has just come
TO an end with the defeat of statewide
prohibition by about 500 votes in a
total poll Of about 10000, the second
largest vote ever east in the common
wealth. The vote on Saturday last was
on the proposal to adopt an amendment
to the constitution providing for state
wide prohibition. One Of the most curl
Gus features OF the decision was that
constitutional. statewide prohibition was
defeated by the votes Of those who lived
in counties now "dry" under local option.
1t is even contended that the votes which
really defeated prohibition We're cast by
men living in dry" counties who had
themselves supported county option. They
feared that statewide prohibition would
be ineffective.
