inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when womans

crying cut for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.

The Change of a Year.

a year ago those Washingtonians who
followed the fortunes of the professional
base ball team representing this city
in the American League were anXiously
wondering whether they could hold to the
next place above the bottom throughout
the season. 4 few of the more optimistic
thought possibly it might climb to sixth
place. then many points above. There
may have been an inmate or two in the
institution on the south side of the An
acostia who dreamed of first division hon
ors. The most that the great majority
Of Washington "rooters' hoped for was
to keep out of last place. Today those
same erstwhile resigned patrons of the
sport are chiefly concerned with the ques-
tion of whether the home team will be
able to jump from second to first place.
Those who talk IN terms of pennant win
ming are no longer regarded as fit sub
jects for a lunacy commission. Base ball
is game of uncertainties. without which
the sport would not hold the interest of
the public as it does. This fact is sure
ly well illustrated by the change in the
local state of mind, and by the fact that
those who talk about reserving seats for
the worlds championship games in Wash
ington this fall are considered as fore
handed rather than foolish.

Each motorman involved in Friday S

denied that the other gave the two-bell

1916.

1t is announced that, looking 10 1916.
La Toilette headquarters have been
opened in San Francisco. and will be
kept open the whole four years. The
progressives who pinned their faith to
the senator in the recent campaign for
the Chicago nomination are not dis
couraged by his defeat, but will strive
for his success next time.
In the circumstances, it is far cry to
1916. Much may happen between now
now and November : period of only
four months. Some OF the oldest and
most experienced politicians are guess
ing. The gamblers as yet are reserved
with their money. Wagers are few, and
odds either way small.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is defeated in Novem-
Der, AS now seems reasonably certain.
he too may try again. He is talking
like a man enlisted for life: and he is
young vet. His order for recasting our
institutions in the image of his own no.
tons is the largest yet issued by any
political leader. He figures. therefore in
the 1916 equation.
II Mr.. Wilson is elected he may be a
power four years hence. The one-term
talk is. to borrow a word from MIR. Will

Immediate effect. but should the time
come making it's repudiation profitable he
will take that step. When he discovers

in short shrift.

jority indicating a strong popular ap-

be expected to desire to be succeeded
in the White House by a republican of
his school, and even to point him out
That is what Mr.. Roosevelt did in 1908.
And there is Mr.. Bryan. The Black
water orator we have always with US.
Suppose Mr.. Wilson fails. Mr.. Bryan is
supporting him. but suppose that is not
enough. Mr.. Bryan supported Judge
Parker. who failed, and four years later
ran again himself. If Mr.. Wilson fails
may not Mr.. Bryan ask and obtain a
fourth nomination? He has a high
opinion of the policies he advocates: and
when he puts one out never withdraws it.
A campaign Of four years will call for
a liberal supply of coin. Mr.. Roosevelt
should be able to find enough for his
purposes He has struck it rich this
time. His angels are a husky lot in
the financial world. and seem to be very
sweet on him. Is Mr.. La Follette's reach
as long? Can he put his hand on funds
sufficient to keep his memory green in
the progressive world? Is there another
Perkins in the land, and can he annex
him? forest of Interrogation points
shoots up when 1916 is mentioned.

end OF The LoRIMER CASE.

that he simply was too virtuous TO min

Si5,eiD. \ beggarly sum- which failed of
it's object.
1t was understood that year that a
democratic legislature would mean the
election of Mr. Bryan to the United States
Senate. The peerless leader had failed TO
lead the st. Louis convention, was now
stumping for Judge Parker. and seemed
done for so far as the presidency was
concerned. No thought existed or a.
least was expressed, anywhere that Mr.
Bryan could ever again dominate the
democracy
He himself spoke OF the Senate as IL
willing to accept commission there. and
much speculation was INDUCED IN as to
what effect on the chamber his presence
would have. Some democrats who had
opposed his presidential aspira tions well
coined the suggestion of seat in the

Had Mr.. Bryan been elected to the
Senate as the result Of that campaign.
would he have passed definitely out of the
presidential equation? The Senate is re-

presidential hopes who have sat In the
chamber and failed to attract the White
House lightning is long and Mr. Bryan s
name might have been added had he

had plenty of money. He puts the sum

What assurance is there that there arc

The cars themselves are numbered and
the presence of such a number on the

pliance with the regulations. But as a
| matter of fact any one, with or without
experience, can run a car with such a
license number displayed and avoid de-
lection unless trouble ensues. OF course,
as long as nothing happens it is of little
practical consequence to the public
whether the person in charge of the ma
chine is licensed or otherwise. The alb
sence of mishap may be regarded as proof
of sufficient competence to justify con-
tinued operation of the car. On the other
hand if every unlicensed person were
prevented from running cars the chances
of mshaps would be reduced. 1t may be
difficult to enforce the regulation licensing
chauTeurs but an occasional roundup of
car operators by the police would <serve
to give the law dignity and to lessen the
danger. Most of the licensed operators
are probably known in person to the
police and there would be but little in
convenience to the public in an endeavor
to ascertain how many cars are being
run by people who have not yet complied
with the rules.
