The Jobs.

The Herald's Washington ssr-
respondent makes the highly inter
esting discovery that democratic
Representatives in Congress who are
hard after jobs for their constitu-
ents. have become seriously alarm
ed by the evident intention Of Presi-
dent Wilson to 60 slow in the mat
ter of ousting Republicans and ap-
pointing Democrats
Democratic Representatives who
are merely office-brokers are privi-
legged to be as apprehensive as they
please. but they will find that the
country L. not seriously disturbed
BY the disappointment of the job
hunters. Nor will the President
Find . Republican House on his
hands two years from now" unless
their claims are recognized.
II a Republican House 10 elected
in 1914 1T will be elected because
the Democrats have not kept their
promise of progressive government.
Dishonest tariff revision might and
should turn the Democratic MAORI
ty in Congress out OF office. Bung-
ling currency revision might set the
country against the party in pow
er. Political hypocrisy and insin-
certify might cause a revulsion in
public sentiment: but the Admins
tration will not be wrecked by dis
appointed place-seekers. Sometimes
an administration Is discredited by
the people it appoints to office; but
we recall no instance in which an
administration has been discred1ted
by the people it refused to appoint
to office.
The great majority of the Ameri-
can voters have no personal inter
est in the Federal patronage. They
have a very poor opinion OF profes-
sional politicians. A vast army OF
Republican office-holders could not
prevent Mr.. Taft from running
third. It was not by the power OF
patronage that Mr.. Roosevelt
smashed the Republican party. and
it was not by the power OF patron
age, past, present or future. that
Woodrow Wilson IS President.
Thus far nothing has done more
to establish a nationwide confidence
in the Wilson Administration than
the care and caution and delibera-
ton with which the President is
making appointments. If anything
were needed to make that conf
dence still stronger. it would b
an attack on the Administration by
spoils-seeking congressman.

ed States can be governed BY the

Nc. Bryan's Part.

One portion of Mr.. Marbury's
speech at Centreville will appeal to
a multitude of Marylanders,a and that
il his reference to tia part Mr..
Bryan has played In the politics OF
this country during the last sixteen
years.
Among Mr.. Bryan's warmest ad
mtrers today are many who op-
posed him in 1896. At that time
every mans opinion Of the Nebras-
kan necessarily was dictated largely
by what he thought of the free sill
yer question. Mr.. Bryan was then
the exponent of a single idea. We
had no opportunity Of judging OF
the fullness Of his character. But
since 1896 we have learned a great
DEAL We have found out that in
stead of being the advocate of a
single cause. Mr.. Bryan is = man Of
full information. rounded powers
and a splendid capacity for effective
Baltimore Convention. We have
found out, that he is not a fanatic,
but a statesman.
The Ninety-Six campaign with
him was but an incidental skirmish
in the great battle of the people
for the recovery of rights which
they had lost and the assumption
by them of powers which they had
never possessed. but which the
great majority Of Americans today
are agreed they should have. In all
this campaign Mr.. Bryan has been
prominently the spokesman of the
people, the chief champion of popu-
lar rule, in the new sense OF that
term. And he has converted
large number Of people to his view,
in addition to Woodrow Wilson.
"And yet we were asleep as to
all these things until William Jen-
nings Bryan woke US up. 1t took
him a good many years to do it.
Fer long, long While ne fought
the hard battle almost alone. but
he won his final victory when he
routed the forces of commercialism
in politics at the Baltimore Conven-
ton last summer, and thus made
possible the nomination of a candf-
date by the Democratic party whom
no private interest can touch whom
no secret power can control, and
who stands for that for which Bryan
fought to the finish
Who can doubt the truth of these
words of Mr.. Marbury? Who that
is fair-minded will fail to give Mr..
Bryan the credit for his long years

Mad at Paint

Csc. a gallon for paint Is about
$3.50 on the average job. and lots
Of men waited last year for that;
but they didn't reckon: they got
mad; wouldn't pay it.
There are times to get mad and
refuse to pay; but when ones prop
erty needs protecting is no time to
get mad and not paint.
Besides. it costs more to get mad
and wait than to paint.
Getting mad doesn't do any good
to your property; paint does it good
by keeping-out water; no water no
rot; no paint, some water and rot;
and a little rot Is more than enough
to make . man liberal toward his

and poker Thursday morning at 2 o'clock in progress Assistant Chief of Police w. D. Fiveash kicked in the door and dragged out nine negroes, who were taken to headquarters and charged with gaming. Porter was also arrested on a gaming charge. Later the negro saloonist pNs up a forfeit of ten dollars for each of the negroes and the whole bunch was re- leased.
 The games were discoverd by Patrolmen Brantley and Graves, but when their coming was tipped off to the saloon keeper, Porter hurridly closed the only door leading to the two rooms in which the negroes were rolling the bones and showing the cards, and locked it. There were no other entrances to the rooms, but

the one door, and no windows. The negroes were closed in without any fresh air and then the saloon keeper lay down on the floor of the place to sleep"
 PatrOlmen Graves and Brantley closed in on the saloon and guarded the door, after Porter had refused to open it. Porter was on the outside and when Assistant Chief Fiveash de- manded that he unlock the door. Porter said the key was at his other place. He was told to go get it. Porter left the saloon, but did not return. After twaiting some time for him to come back, Chief Fiveash threw his body against the door and it gave way. Negroes were pulled from under tables, piles of hay and from corners of the room and march ed to headquarters by the three of ficers, assisted by Patrolmen Henry and Owen and Deputy Constable D w. Stewart.
 At headquarters the negroes stated that Porter had been running the games in the little ante-rooms for some time, that he induced them to gamble there, telling them that he would protect them. One negro said that dozens of negroes from Althei- mer plantations had been coming to Pine Bluff for days to gamble in the place. There are several negroes, one of the prisoners said who share in tEe rake off' from the games.
 Those arrested were Jonas Porter, Ashly Childers, Van Belan, s. F. Smith, Abe Robinson, Sultan Warren, THom Mcclure Jim Bryant Cliff Col Her and Abe Mckenzie. The cash bonds of the negroes were forfeited in police court yesterday.
