Harmony.

Things are not always what they seem.
There may not have been as much har-
mony in democratic circles In this town
Monday and yesterday as demonstrations
indicated. Mr.. Bryan's fight on Guffey-
Ism Is to be continued, and the tariff sub
jet was handled only in genera!ities. A
great deal OF water must flow under the
bridge before June Is. and the volume
may weaken the structure.
At the same time the scene at the Jack
son day banquet was unusual. and must
have heartened every democrat present.
And as the story circulates 1t will hearten
democrats at distance. and thus will
be accomplished the purpose for which
the banquet was given.
Gov. Harmon was not there, but his
next of political kin. Senator Pomerene,
was Gov. Marshall was absent. but
senator Kern was present The absence
OF Gov. Dix was made UP by the appear
ance OF his creator. Charles F. Murphy.
And so on. In this way all absentees
were satisfactorily accounted for.
But seated at table were Mr.. Bryan.
the father Of present-day democracy;
Gov. Wilson. q year-old convert to that
democracy; william r. Hearst. who has
been experimenting with a democracy OF
his own until he Is willing to try 1t now
in double harness with Mr.. Bryan's;
Speaker Clark. who knows no other path
but the middle Of the road, and Mr.. Folk,
who wisely overlooked q slight and pre-
scented himself In the best Of temper.
Altogether. the gathering was Q triumph
OF what may be done by patience and
taking pains. ...-..
is there no warning. no instruction. In
an this for the republicansf While this
spirit u working In the ranks Of the de-
mocracy will diseord and bitterness con-
tinue and grow In the ranks Of the re-
publicans? VIII the men who are trying
to force Mr.. Roosevelt into antagonism
to Mr.. Taft stick to their reckless task?
Will the men who resent this continue
to hold Mt. Roosevelt personally respon-
sible, refuse to accept his disclaimers.
and anger him and his friends by assaults
on him?
This Is what the democratic leaders
desire, and are assisting az well as they
can The Napoleonic proposition IL to
divide and conquer. IL the republican
party can be divided into two camps.
with the Taft colors flying over one
and the Roosevelt colors over the
other, the democrats. under any leader
ship and almost on any platform. will
be able 10 march through to victory. The
performance In New York in 1910 can
be repeated on a national scale. So bitter
were the Roosevelt and the anti-Roose-
velt men against each other In that cam
paign, that a state ticket nominated BY
Tammany Hall was elected.

That False Alarm From Haltimors

Is it really worth while for the Dis.
trict government to ask the city Of Balti-
more. to pay the cost Of starting two
fire engine companies toward that city
the other day, when response was made
to q supposed call for help7 In point
Of fact. the cost was q very Questionable
quantity. It would be hardly gracious
for Washington to ask Baltimore to pay
even q small bill for q mistake Of this
kind. for which the municipal authorities
OF Baltimore are only in theory resDon-
sible. on the ground that an employer
must bear the burden Of the faults OF
his workers. II 1t was in fact q drunk
en- fireman who sounded the call for help
without authority. and this can be re-
garded az definitely established, there
would be q technical ground for q claim.
But the whole matter might well be al
lowed to drop, save as 1t may be remem.
bered as a warning against such mis-
takes In the future.

The Oracle Of the Hour.

Away. We political prophets,
With all your predictions SO grim!
We turn to a frost-bitten future
With eyes that are misty and dim.
Who cares for the letters and speeches
That greet US in wordy arrayf
Yet for news we are anxiously waiting.
What does the thermometer say?
Speak not OF the state OF the market
For railroads or butter or beef!
Speak not of officials who question
The trusts for the pub.ic's relief
Who cares for the tariffs revision
When blizzards come drifting this way
Desist from this vast erudition-

The directors Of the Equitable had for a
