Mr.. Bryan
Not Yet Out of Democratic Politics.

Sayeth the Sun of New YORK:
THE Hon. William ]. Bryan ran three times
for president and never elected The Hon.
Woodrow Wilson ran and was elected.
This seems to us to be a brief and sufficient
statement of the facts bearing on the ques-
ton of the present leadership OF the Demo-
cratic party. Further remarks are super
ftuous"
Wen. why make further remarks?-why con-
tinue a supertiuous task why follow up the
statement just quoted with fling at Bryan
why, unless insane hatred OF Bryan controls
where reason and common entitled
to rule? 1t is quite true the Sun ia at pains
to point out, that Governor Wilson is a cour-
teous gentleman, and that he is no jeliyfsh.
Quite true. and superiuous statement as
II is true Wilson doesn't stand in need of
such tributes, especially from an avowedly.
cyncically, hostile source. And II Is also quite
untrue and superfiuous untrue, The Sun $
statement that Mr.. Bryans place represents a
finished chapter of Democratic politics" MIR.
Bryan may never be president, but he who
lists to the suggestion that the Nebraskan Is
out Of Democratic politics has fool for ad-
v.ser Mr.. Bryan, venture to say, will never
be out OF Democratic politics. Living, he will
be a potential factor in the party--and dead,
his memory, teachings and example will sur
vive a tremendous influence and stirring
inspiration to millions of the faithful all over
the land,-Lynchburg News.

Oh. All Right.


News out OF Washington that the
fight against Bryan's entrance into the cabinet
has failed and that the Democratic senators
without exception favor his appointment as sec
rotary of state. OF course, this means that they
would be willing for him to hold any Of the
cabinet portfolios. Thus ends II the report
Is true foolish and mischievous EFFORT to
dsicredit a great leader In party. and TO
introduce at the very beginning of Democratic
control Of national affairs discords that would
jangle the whole admin 'stration.
No word has from the lips OF Mr.
Bryan and none from President Wilson that
would indicate the purpose of either, and the
country does not know whether the presi-
dent will invite Mr.. Bryan to enter the cabinet
whether II invited Mr.. Bryan will
cept. Whatever course is pursued by these
gentlemen will be course of accord and not
discord Both are Of principle with a
tremendous of responsibility. While we
believe that Wilson will offer some high post
to Bryan have a kind OF hope that the
Nebraskan will not leave the field In which he
has done SO much and hide himself in
Washington Office and up his energy in
the routine of daily public life. He Is a great
leader OF the hosts OF Democracy, spiritual
leader, a finder OF the right paths. He can
not do this work well secretary OF any
thing and the power OF q cabinet officer Is
less than Bryan's power Ies'sr OF the
people. Perhaps he can be government Official
and popular leader at the same time. Per-
haps he cannot-Charlottesville Progress.

III the compound Was pointed OUT as
DIR. Fraser's last resting place, and Miss
Carey was informed that all his effects
had been burned by his direction.
3These people be all liars" said
Ahmad Kerim in delivering his opinion.
@The Memsahib will please to remember
that we are in a strange country where
no one is to be trusted. Doubtless
Fraser Sahib is dead; but who knows
how that came to pass? The Memsahib
is fortunate in having this servant for
her protector.
Then he glared at the gathering of
camp attendants in manner to in
innate that it required only word from
her for him to cut all their threats
simultaneously his wife tangled around
among the tents, voicing her opinion
that such race of pigs was honored
beyond reason in having the Memsahib
come that distance to minister to their
misfortune.
Theurgent need of Immediately taking
DIR. Fraser's place for the time being
compelled Miss Carey to set aside
further investigation of his death. She
promptly wired the news to provincial
medical headquarters, and began re-
organizing the chaotic native staff. 1t
might be expected that one herewith
would plunge into a description of the
horrors of an epidemic in India; but
that would in no wise fit Miss Carey's
view of the situation. Disease and death
were to her perfectly natural phenomena,
to be fought with all her ability; but
that did not include regarding things
with the eye of emotion, though subcon-
sciously she was far from being unsym-
pathetic when confronted by distress.
She was inspecting the dispensary
tent when she noticed crumpled sheet
of paper on the floor. She picked it up
and began to read what were evidently
notes DR.. Fraser had been making for
his last report. They proved to be
mere routine details, and ended in a
blank space. But what reused her curl
osity was his repeated insertion of the
chemical formula Gu So4, followed by
the word @heat," in places where it bore
no reference to the text.
She understood, of course, that Gu
.So4 signifed copper sulphate, a valuable
disinfectant; but there was nothing to
show from his notes why he laid such
emphasis on that substance as applied
to heat She wondered what he meant
by it, and summoned the native who
had thus far given the clearest account
of Dr. Fraser's death. But he professed

LONE CROOK WITH
BAD 81 BILLS TOO.
WARY FOR SLEUTHS
Secret Service Men Unable
to Catch Up With Clever
Counterfeiter.

Seventy counterfeiters have been ap-
pretended by the Secret Service dtvis-
ion of the Treasury Department under
Chief John r. Wilkie since the first OF
the year, but the Government detectives
have been as yet unable to capture the
lone crook who has been passing bogus
81 bills all over the country.
This Individual. of whom any descrp-
ton at all has been difficult for the d.
vision to obtain, has been at work for
more than two years.
this morning, docs not stay in one
place more than a few days and he hops
around from town to town and city to
city so consistently that before any of
his bad bills are discovered in one place
he has gone 400 or 500 miles away"
The counterfeiter in question passes
about $50 or $50 worth in one town and
owing to the fact that 1t is generally
several days before his money Is recog-
nized as bad by bank or other author
ity, end because in no case until recently
has anyone remembered Just where he
or she received the bogus money, the
Secret Service operatives have had little
to work on.
Aside from this person no counterfeiter
is at work now whose operations give
the Secret Service Division any concern,
Occasionally other bad small bills come
to light, but none of these are good
enough limitations of the real thing to be
dangerous. Most of the seventy men ar
rested since January for counterfeiting
arc coiners. This was to have been ex-
pected, for illegal coming is a much
simpler and less expensive matter than

Reports of Rioting
Come From Panama

DR.. Jorge f. Boyd, counselor of the
Panama legation in this city. who Is
now in Panama CITY, has resigned. This
information was received here today.
DR.. Boyds action Is due to dissatisfac-
ton with the political situation. which
is considered grave in the isthmus.
If reports from Panama are true, riot
ing and bloodshed is the rule in the re-
public, and opposition members of the
electoral Jury have been cast into
dungeons until after the presidential
election; 1t now appears that this Gov
ernment may not only supervise the
election, but may order a warship and
marines to the republic to maintain
peace during the voting period.
