Mr.. Kern's Test Of Democracy.

witness before the Lorimer investi
rating committee the other day mention
Cd the matter Of his politics. He claimed
to be a democrat. Intercepted on the
point he said he had voted for Grover
Cleveland and for Alton b. Parker
whereupon his interrogation observed
"And SO you have voted for one democra,
in nirlteen years" The tone OF the OBJ.
servation seemed to question the mans
democracy.
The colloquy derives its Importance
from the fact that the interrogation was
Senator Kern, who ran for Vice Presiden
on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan in 1903
Naturally the Indiana senator was no,
impressed with the democracy of man
who had passed him by, and also Mr.
Bryan in three presidential races. The
votes for Mr.. Cleveland and Judge Parker
acre not assuring. They did not spell
genuine democracy to Mr.. Kern, but only
en- intermittent form of the faith.
Does this foreshadow a reopening OF
the old quarrel between the Cleveland
and the Bryan factions of the democracy
Does it show that, under the surface
there is still resentment for the course
the Cleveland people followed in the
campaigns when Mr.. Bryan led the party
Fo" some years after 1896 Mr.. Bryan
held the tone Mr.. Kern seems now to
hold. He esteemed no man a democrat
who had bolted the party's regular action
taken in convention. He talked about
sackcloth and ashes for the offenders
The door was not shut against them. but
they must present themselves in the
dress and spirit Of penitents If they were
to enjoy any part or lot in the party S
future performances. His words were
a sort OF flaming sword. which would not
be lowered except upon his own terms.
Gradually. however. Mr. Bryan changed
his attitude and his key. Between 1900
when he met his second defeat. and 1903
when he took the field for his third cam
paign. his Indignation softened. He seem
ed willing TO forget and forgive. The
necessity for harmony was borne in upon
him. II he was to hope for success he
must cease to censure and learn to con-
ciliate the boilers. This he tried to do
But the effort failed. Boilers galore ap.
peared in his third campaign. and again
his opponent had an easy path to victory
This Is not a good time for marrying
men who bolted the democratic tickets
the years Mr.. Bryan headed them As
Mr.. Bryan himself could not make sack
cloth and ashes the wear for boilers, Mr.
Kern cannot do so. Democratic prospect.
are brighter now than I'm 1903, but not
SO bright as to make it possible for the
Bryanites to win without the aid of the
Cievelandites. The two factions mus,
get together and stay together il they

Mississippi.

Gov. Vardaman is making his third at
tempt to secure seat in the United
States Senate. His first contest was with
John Sharp Williams in q primary cleo
ton, and he came very near succeeding.
| Encouraged by that show of strength he
next offered for the seat made vacant by
the death of Mr.. McLauren, and gave
Mr.. Percy. who was elected. hard run
| before the legislature. And now, en-
couraged by that show OF strength. he
is canvassing the state in another effort
to win in q primary. His opponent again
IS Mr.. Percy.
Conservative sentiment in Mississippi
and elsewhere is opposed to Gov. varda-
man. He represents a radicalism on the
country deplofes. He is obsessed on the
| subject. He is a one-ideaed man, and
that idea is that the Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth amendments to the Constitution
should be repealed. And his promise is
that II elected TO the Senate he will bring,
and keep, the question Of repeal before
that body. That is to say. he will harp
on one string while he remains in office.
But such talk. while failing of its real
object, would be in such a forum both
| annoying and disquieting. 1t could not
| be confined to the matter Of suffrage. but
would include other subjects quite as un-
desirable as texts for senatorial discus
| sions. The whole civil war might be
fought over again. with bitter tongues
taking the place Of sharp swords, and
wind the place OF gunpowder. It would
be fun and advertisement for Gov varda-
man. but anything else for the Senate or
the country at large.
In her present representatives in the
Senate Mississippi is fortunate. Mr.. Will
liams, while new to the body, is q vet
eran legislator from his long service in
the House. and well prepared for all his
duties. AS a speaker he is ready. and as
a tactician full of resources. His sug-
gestions both in committee and in caucus
should be worth his party's while. More
over, he is personally popular, and that
counts for much in the congressional
equation in either house.
Mr.. Percy is new to the Senate and to
public life. But he is q good lawyer, a
clean and capable man, and has made an
excellent impression in Washington. He
Is a thorough partisan, and knows the
needs of his people. and may be depended
on while in commission to represent them
in their best aspirations. His reelection,
indeed, would be the best card Mississippi
could play at this time in a matter of
interest to the nation as we'll as to her.
self. He and Mr.. Williams are in agree
ment on general lines of party policy. and
continuing to work together in the Senate
would show the best results.
Gov. Vardaman is parochial, and almost
Of spent uses even in a restricted field.
His political tribe, fortunately for the
country, is decreasing, and 1t will be q
good day when 1t disappears altogether.

Latin at the White House.

The testimony of Mr.. George Earle be-
fore the House sugar probers with re-
gard to his relations with Mr. Roosevelt
should be carefully studied by all who
mad dealings with the strenuous Presi-
dent. According TO Mr.. Earle Mr. Roose-
Welt talked Latin to him, and then Sian
ped him on the back when Mr. Earle con-
ceaied his failure to understand by a
shrewd smile. 1t was not often that the
colonel was not understood. That is to
say. when he talked in English. He had
way Of expressing himself that went to
the understanding OF his hearers. al
though at times he used SO many words
lhat ~ was possible to read more than
one meaning out OF his writings. 1t would
be interesting to know how many callers
at the White House were mystified dur
Ing the Roosevelt regime by the employ
ment OF language beyond their compre-
hension. How many were called upon
for purposes OF discretion to hide their
ignorance behind tactfui smile? Ac.
cording to some II was not difficult to get
along with Mr.. Roosevelt All that was
necessary was to listen with some show
of interest and appreciation. II was al

any emergency. The conversation might
turn on trusts or tennis. on foreign rela-
tons or foot ball. on higher philosophy
or hunting. "A visit to the White House

mental exercise, calling upon a certain
agility Of mind TO enable the diplomatic
visitor 10 give at least the appearance
OF polite appreciation. Mr.. Earle is en-
titled to compliments for his success in
Stimulating an acquaintance with Latin
in circumstances that would have led
many a man to betray his ignorance
and thereby miss the presidential pat on
the shoulders that was then regarded
sign OF extreme favor.

A Ballad of Recreation

A bold and sturdy man was he.
He vowed that he would go
To join the merry revelry
And see the summer show.
My coin SO white will employ"
Quoth he. "'mid pleasures there,
Like silver bullets to destroy
The imps and elves of care"
He ate and drank what he should not.
He rode on monsters strange.
Base balls he threw. He took a shot
At everything in range.
His hair hung dankly on his brow.
His burning breath was short.
And still he strove, exclaiming, "Wow!
Am i a real sport?''
He's homeward bound. The day is Ger
But why extend the song?
Back up the ambulance once more,
He'll be all right ere long.

An Endowed Park
From the Chicago Tribune.

Now that the subscription for the pur-
chase of Ravinia Park has reached a point
which assures the success of that project
we believe Chicago may lay claim TO an
institution unique in America. We have
had attempts at endowed theaters and
we have endowed orchestras. But Ra-
vina Is the first and only open-air sum-
mer park privately endowed The north
shore is fortunate I'm having this resor,
saved from inevitable deterioration. There
should be both public spirit and musical
taste enough In the northern suburbs and
in Chicago itself to give this admirable
institution reliable and adequate support
With it's charming groves and pavilions
and the high character of its entertain
ment. IL deserves both permanency and
substantial success.

then he is guilty of an offense far worse
than that OF carrying a weapon.
Forbid the sale OF weapons save to
those who secure licenses to buy them
and the problem Is solved as far as the
law can go in terms Of prohibition. Keep
the penalty against carrying weapons
high, but impose a penalty upon the
man who sells without warrant from
the court and this traffic in death will
be quickly checked. The District badly
needs a law of this kind. and it is to
be hoped that when the question is taken
UP by Congress there will be no such
weak attempt at prevention as that made
by the New York state legislature.

Judge Ralston, who has acquired a
special reputation in the trial Of homi-
eide cases, speaks with authority and
force iE his address to the bar associa-
ton upon the delay In the execution of
| murderers. 1t is admitted that the Grim
inal law loses much OF its force by the
long interval which separates the punish
ment from the crime, and that the multi
tude OF technical delays which are per-
mitted under our procedure impair the
popular respect for public justice. While
the contrasts that are often made with
the prompt disposition of a murder case
in England are not always intelligent,
they do direct attention to the relative
inefficiency of our methods and emphasize
the demand for their correction.
