Some Questions.

Is Edward w. Oyster qualified under
the statute creating that office to serve
a. a member of the board of permanent
assessors of the District of Columbia?
Why have not the Commissioners re-
ferred this important question to the Of
ficer designated by law to answer for
tfVm all legal points in the municipal
administration?
Is IL because they are completely con-
WINGED from their own reading of the
statutes and all the decisions bearing on
the matter of bona fide residence" in
the District that they arc right
If'so. why do they not obtain verifica-
tion from completely disinterested au-
thority, to meet and dissolve the grave
doubt in the public mind?
Why has SO singular an exception been
made in this case. involving the validity
OF the tax assessment, that the corpora
ton counsel of the District has been
ignored
Is il because the Commissioners prefer
TO have prepared and filed no formal Of
fetal opinion on this point OF law that
might possibly prove embarrassing?
These questions require answers. Yet
there is no assurance that they will ever
be answered. Nevertheless. The star
puts them in the possibly vain hope
that they may gain the official attention
that their vital Importance demands.

Lesson of Gaynor's Life.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
If from the spontaneous tributes or
affection and sorrow that have marked
the passage of William j. Gaynor's body
to its grave his survivors. now impera-
lively impelled to the resumption of their
several activities, have failed to learn the
lesson offered by his life. their compre-
tensions are too dull to profit by the OBJ
vious teachings of his notable career. 1t
was not the fortuitous incident of public
office that drew forth the tribute paid
with equal sincerity by men and women
Of all stations and all occupations. To
Gaynor the man; the sturdy defender of
his fellows fair name; the constant sup
porter of popular rights; the searching
critic of meddlesome legislation; the un-
sparing pursuer Of oppressive officials:
the philosopher so impatient Of sham: to
him the full measure of uncompelled
praise was given. With the incidents of
yesterday and Sunday alive in the minds
of this city. will any man dare to assert
that William j. Gaynor spoke falsely
when he said New York was an honor
able city?

Mr.. Bryan's Parting Shot.

In closing his lecture season for 1913
Mr.. Bryan says:
Il regard lecturing as an entirely iegiti-
mate field | lecture,l before | was NOM
mated for the presidency; | lectured De
tween campaigns. 7 shall continue to
lecture and j shall not believe that amy
person whose opinion is worth having
will think the less of me becaus. ! do 50"
This closes the lecture subject for the
present.
Here is an important point winch Mr.
Bryan's critics have not taken into ac-
count And not only did he lecture be
fore h was nominated for the presi-
dency. hut probably he owed his first
nomination largely to that fact.
The popular idea of the eliminating
event of the Chicago convention OF 1876
Is that a handsome and gifted young
man. wholly unknown to the delegates
and the crowded galleries. took the stage
at a psychological moment. and with q
rafting stump speech. keyed to meet the
democracy's preiudices ut the time. car
ried everything before him.
Handsome and gifted thu young man
was and thrilling his Grafton. But he
was not stranger, upstairs or down
Many knew him, and had heard him be-
fore. They were applaudinS speaker
they had heard elsewhere.
The House of Representatives had not
taken u hold on Mr.. Bryan, and after
two terms as member he had retired
and become a newspaper writer and lee
turer. His success at the bar had not
been such as to encourage him 10 return
to his profession.
His success as a lecturer Was iustau
taneous; and presently he mad visited
many localities in the south and in the
west, and extended his personal acquaint-
ance widely. He was n favoritc even then
with Chautauqua audiences.
In this way Mr.. Bryan laid the founda
ton of his extraordinary career. After
leaving Congress, had he returned to the
bar and confined his activities to the
courtroom. or in taking up journalism
had addressed himself strictly to office
work. he might not have reappeared at
all as a political quantity. But as lee
turer, making one-night stands and
making his mark at all of them with his
oratory and charming personality, he
Powered into a compelling political in
fiuence.
And between nominations he kept up
the game. Can any man say with safety
that had Mr. Bryan retired from the plat
form after his defeat in November. 1896,
he would four years later have held the
Kansas City convention in the hollow of
his hand? He did not retire, but con-,
tinued his lectures. and thereby remained
In touch with his friends and in control
of his national organization.
Mr.. Bryan knows. and has regard for,
the bridge that carried him over He is
holding. fast to the good thing he has
proved.

rightfully proceed to an Impeachment
inasmuch as this is power that cannot
be taken from it when it is in session.
There remains for decision the govern
or's point that the alleged offenses. named
in the accusation against him. are not
impeachable It is hardly to be expected
that the court, having gone so far al
ready in sweeping aside technicaiities.
will now discriminate between acts al

the outset Of his case he had unques-
tonably the sympathy Of a majority Of
the people Oh account of the character
Of the opposition. The obvious design oil
the attack was 10 remove him from the
path Of the corrupt machine politicians
Who sought 10 destroy him when the!

Nevertheless. the accusations against nm

fully and that he has not used Tor ms

whatever their motive in bringing MN
