What Ii truth? Is a question with which
thinkers have wrestled since the beginning OF
recorded time. What is false? is as puzzhng
There are times, however, when the line is
drawn sharply between the truth and a lie, and
when two men differ in their statements on a
question OF fact of which both have knowledge
the one has told the truth and the one has not.
Those not possessed or complete knowledge
Or the fact as are the dsputants, but who have
only partial information on which to base
conclusion are not justified in stating pub
iicly which of the two men they credit with
having told the truth and which they have
branded In their own minds as falsifer. They
may not be justified In even reaching a de-
cision. certainly not In reaching an irrevocable
one But when to partial knowledge of the
testimony bearing on the case is added knowl-
edge OF the two men unfolding different sides
-they-Hay be warranted In reaching definite
Conclusion When the partial information pos
sessed by them leads to the conclusion that this
man is correct in his statement and when upon
this mans word suspicion has never been cast
while the word Of the other is continually
He'd in holding hxed opinion as to which has
told the truth and which has not.
This hypothetscai Case is presented 70 the
American people today. 1t has been the well.
nigh universal opinion that the Democratic
bosses were licked to fragile" at Baltimore.
Mr. Bryan thought so: the bosses thought so;
the spectators in the galleries thought SO: the
press thought So All Information possessed by
the American public made them believe the
same
Mr.. Bryan is the man whose word all who
nre not blinded by prejudice passion fear
or hatred will accept without corroboratiye
evidence. and MT Bryan declares that Wood

the aid OF the bosses but against their efforts

ANOTHER FARCE.

Another farce is being enacted by the vir-
ginia Bull Moosers Having refused to name
candidate to oppose the man whom Roose-
welt has cIassed with "pickpockets," sneaking
away with stolen handkerchiefs they are now
talking OF putting up candidates In the Sixth
and Tenth districts where there Is no nominee
OF the Republican party and no candidate who
took part In the steal" at Chicago, and where
there are no Bull Moosers to vote for them.
The followers of Roosevelt are strong in the
Ninth district, but to name a candidate would
Insure the election of Democratic congress-
man. Rather than do this they are preparing
To support one of the men whom their creator
stigmatizes as pickpockets What becomes now
OF their pretense of organizing a real opposi-
ton party in Virginia to take the place of the
Republican party, which offers the people of
the State nothing? What becomes now of
their indignation against the .bosses' who
manipulated the Chicago theft? Their only
hope OF building UP a party in Virginia is to
destroy frst root and branch, the Republican
party. Instead OF this they are giving aid
and comfort to the Republican regulars" in
the Ninth and fighting the Democrats where
there can be no hope OF success

enthroned In power the result OF the Balti-
more convention" he said Thursday in Mime
sofa THE fundamental difference between the
Democratic and Republican bosses was that the
Republican party knew that our triumph there
meant their death knell. and in the Baltimore
convention 1t was the bosses themselves who
arranged the outcome because It tended to per.
petuate their rule"
In other words, the belief at Baltimore that
Murphy favored Champ Clark over Wilson was
wrong and the record showing that for thirty
ballots he cast the ninety votes OF New York
fer the Missourian was doetorea for purpose
and should show that they wers cast for Will
son Mr.. Bryan,s belief that the bosses within
the convention opposed Wilson is all wrong
and the spectacular fight waged at the conven-
tion was against an imaginary foe.
Mr.. Roosevelt says It. Mr.. Bryan says the
reverse. Both know.
Which tells the truth and which tells an I'M
truth?

sOFT-HEARTED PLEASE.

The Baltimore Sun is still worrying itself
in an effort to explain Blease's election in
South Carolina. Reports from that State say
that frauds sufficient to invaidate the result
have been uncovered II these frauds were in
the interest OF Bease that explains why he
was elected. but why any considerable num-
Der of people should have voted for him "a a
mystery that we expect cannot be explained
Speaking Of the fraud charges the Sun says
Governor Blease's friends opposed the inves-
tigation of the Democratic primary In South
Carolina on the ground that the rival candi-
date, Judge Jones, was the only beneficiary OF
fraud. Which, II true. would be the very
reason why Bease should want an investiga-
ton.
There is nothing calling for an explanation
here The gentle. soft.spoken Blease feels
sorry for Judge Jones In his defeat and does
not wish to add to his troubles.

DEFEAT OF SUFFRAGE IN OHIO.

Opponents OF woman suffrage are little
premature in selfcongratulation on the "over-
whelming" defeat of the suffrage amen dment
before getting out of the woods as future de-
velopments may show
In the first place. the defeat was not so
overwhelming as they would have US believe.
When a great State such as Ohio casts more
than one hundred thousand votes for woman
and only 100000 against 1t seems to us that
1t Is the advocates OF the amendment who
should receive the congratulations. As the
Lynchburg Nesos says. that sort OF majority,
all things considered. represents too close a
shave for the serene comfort and smiling con-
fdence OF the 'antis'-of which we are one.
1t is certainly sufficiently small to encourage
the women of Ohio to press on to another en-
counter with abundantly more reason for hope
than they apparently had right to entertain
lin the election just gone"
Not only did the result OF Ohios vote on
the new constitution give the suffragists OF
that State the right to hope for better results
in another encounter. but it opened the way
and provided the means for that second fight
A petition signed by ten per cent OF the voters
of the State will force the legislature of the
State to consider a suffrage law. and II the
legislature votes down the bill providing for il
a petition signed by an additional three per
cent Of the voters of the State will be sufficient
to make necessary call for another popular
election on the subject. That, after a further
campaign of education. the women of Ohio
will follow this course goes without saying
The result then may be even closer than that
of last Tuesday, even IL 1t does not result in
the passage of the amendment

PLAYING THE BULLY.

let the Maza incident drop. provided the assal
ant of Ny Gibson American charge daffafres

saulted a representative OF the United States
and the whole machinery Of the government
was put in operation to punish IAN insult to
the United States" machinery that has not
yet been moved to protect the lives of Ameri-
cans in Mexico.
1t must be confessed that at times the United
States shows disposition to play the bully
II can be stirred by hst fight in helpless
Cuba but not by murder In big Mexico.
battleship sent TO Havana would bring Cuba
to her knees but it would take some real
fighting to stop the riots masquerading in Mex
leo under the name of war. 1t would take
trouble. money soldiers and the sacrifice OF
life to protect the lives and property of citi-
zens OF the United States In Mexico and only
jaunt for naval officers sailors and marines

head OF Mr. Gibson.
This probably explains the excitement IN

To the credit OF the people of Richmond It
can be said that they have taken moro than
ordinary interest In the election OF members

indicates that they realize their responsibility.
n the work of creating this interest the Citi-
sens' Association has done good work. and
whether its members are supporting the best
ave- men not they can be credited with sup
. sorting those whom they believe 10 be the best,
and IN 40 doing have focused the attention OF
the public upon all the candidates and have
/ done much toward laying bare their records.
Every candidate for Office should be known to
u tbs people before the day of election In this
campaign the voters have been given oppor-
tunity to gain knowledge Of the character.
ability and record of all sixteen candidates.
whether they take advantage Of that oppor
&unity depends upon them. They have three
more days In which to learn what they do not
know, and on Tuesday should go to the polls
prspared to vote for the best men az they have
been given the ability TO the best men.
Honest conscientious voting win give Rich
nond ave administrators who will make the
most OF the ofices and use them for the public
good.
To the voters; Pay no attention to those

own conclusions without fear or favor. preju

This would indicate that Wilson would run

NINE. HAcKLEY's RECITAL.

Noted Soprano Delights Large Audi
enee at Music Hall In Pittsburgh.
The musical event of the season, from
an individual standpoint, in Pittsburgh
was the farewell recital given recently
by Nine. z. EZalia Hackley, the not
ed soprano singer. The affair was held
in Carnegie Music hall. and the throng
which assembled to hear Nine. Hack
ley evidenced the high esteem in which
she is held by the public.
Nine. Hackley interspersed her mu-
sical selections. which were twelve In
number, with interesting and instruc-
tive remarks on the mechanics OF
music. This created much favorable
comment and showed also the rare
ability and capacity of the singer and
lecturer to amuse and instruct at the
same time.
Throughout the twelve numbers Nine.
Hackley played her own accompani-
ments The first selection was given in
French, the second in English and the
third in Italian. There was also given
with much precision Rossini's Barber
of Seville"
Nine. Hackley. after finishing her
tour of retiring recitals. will devote
her time to teaching voice culture
among our people. The general theme
of Nine Hackleys lecture talks is on
racial characteristics. culture tone, cul-
ture poise. vitalizing of tones and the
pure mechanics of vocalism.

The situation in so far as the action
