OVERRIDING It.

A boss rose up among us down to Pohick
on the Crick.
We stood in admiration of his methods
smooth an quick.
He run the town elections an he dealt
positions out
An gave us heaps of interestin' things
to talk about.
When he went out a-Walkin' we was kind
O. proud to note
The way he wore a high silk hat and .
Prince Albert coat.
We put up with his methods, though they
sometimes made us frown,
Until he showed his picture with halo
and a crown.
We stood for all his diamonds and his
eisht-ounce watch and chain.
We didn't mind his fancy clothes, al
though our own was plain.
We couldn't quite approve of all his
bossy little ways,
And yet we stood 'cm cause large cities
have EN- nowadays.
But We put him out O. business when he
tried to make a hit
And get firmer footing as he played the
hypocrite.
A little graft We don't resent, provided
it's done slick,
But crowns and halos must be earned at
Pohick on the Crick.

The STANDARDIZATION.

Mr.. Bryan, still a little sensitive on the
| subject of his official salary and his out
side activities to increase his income,
makes further reply to his critics in the
current Commoner. AS to retaining the
editorship of his publication he says:
IF were compelled to choose between
the service that / could render as jour-
nalist and the service which can render
as one of the Presidents advisers,
would feel justified in preferring the lat
ter to the former, but as there is no nee
essary conflict between the two positions

The Commoner was started and has
had its prosperity, as an opposition jour
nal, and Mr.. Bryan, as the leader of the
opposition, has had a free hand in con-
Quoting ii. He has been at full liberty to
speak his own mind on all subjects. AS
the republicans of former days in taking
up the New York Tribune wanted to see
what .'O!d Horace was saying, the DEM
ocrats since the Commoner made its ap-
pearance have been reading it to see
what Mr. Bryan was saying. And they
have been RECALLED with much vigorous
writing.
But now Mr.. Bryan has surrendered

caste" in the Navy.
the New York Tribune,


Mr.. Daniels warfare against what he
conceives to be caste prejudice in the
navy has taken a practical turn. He
urges that warrant officers should have
the fullest possible opportunity and, in
deed, encouragement to enter the COM
petitive examinations for appointment
as ensigns. 1t goes without saying that
all examinations should be fairly con-
Quoted, with view to facilitating pas
sage by worthy candidates as well as
to excluding the unworthy. The effect
upon warrant officers of an assurance
that they have a fair chance of promo
ton on their merits must be good. 1t
will be we'll however, not to accept too
hastily the theory of Mr.. Daniels and of
Mr.. Bryan that the examinations are too
exacting. Doubtless they are difficult,
and doubtless they should be. In no
department of government service. is
there need of higher technical attain
ments than among the responsible Off
GERS of the navy. Moreover the exalted
standard of judicial discretion and OF
general knowledge of the world and of
affairs which Paul Jones prescribed at
the beginning of the navy is no less
pertinent today than it was a century
and a third ago. The question of can
didates 'adapta bility" is therefore not
to be sighted, though, of course, it is
not to be unfairly manipulated.

Unconstitutional" This rather surpris-
ing question is raised by correspond
ent of The Star whose letter an
peared in Thursdays issue in the
course OF a discussion of the validity
OF Representative Clayton's appoint
ment as senator from Alabama To All
the vacancy caused by the death OF
Senator Johnston. Pointing out the
constitutionally given right OF the
states TO full suffrage in Congress.
this writer AYERS that if certain views
of the seventeenth amendment which
provides for the direct election of
senators, are maintained that amend
ment NAV be itself unconstitutional.
This Is a rather surprising suggestion.
It is difficult TO understand just what
constitutes unconstitutiona1ity in an
Amendment that has been adopted in
the mode specifically prescribed by
the fundamental law. II is. of course,
possible TO question the validity of an
amendment on the ground that its
adoption has not followed the form
provided by the Constitution itself.

properly adopted by the House and

The Currency Question.

Speaker Clark's statement as to the cur
rency question is important so far as the
House is concerned. He knows that body,
and is a power in il. Hence his pre-
diction that currency measure will pass
the House next month and go to the Sen
ate with the prestige of wide approval
in the country will arrest attention.
But then the battle will begin. We may
see a repetition of the spirit shown re-
speeding the tariff. With the President S
influence dominating. it was not difficult
to put the Underwood bill through the
House Democrats in numbers yielded
their views. and for the partys sake COM
piled with the Presidents wishes
In the Senate the democrats refused to
be hurried They took the bill under ad-
visement and kept it in committee for
weeks AS finally reported to the Senate.
it did not meet the desires of all who had
voted for the report; and since the dis
cussion in the open has been in progress
the republicans have forced few, though
unimportant, changes. Had the Senate
acted as promptly as expected, the IN
derwood bill would have become law at
least six weeks ago.
II the Senate receives a currency bill
from the f1OuS6 UN tie VI CVptChi-
Der, what course will it pursue? Refer
ence to committee will be in order But
how long will the committee keep it? As
long as it kept the tariff bill: And when
the bill is reported back, what changes
will it show, and then how long will the
open debate last?
The time between September - and
meeting day for the regular session is
two months and half. AS nothing can
be hurried in the Senate, and as the cur
rency is a more difficult proposition than
the tariff, December may arrive before
any sort of agreement has been reached.
The bill may still be in committee. the
subject of contention among the demo-
cratic members.
In this matter the Presidents influence
with Congress will undergo a severer
test than the tariff has developed In
fact. the whole currency case i'm it's pres
ent aspect rests with him. Without pres
sure from him, the House leaders would
probably not have taken up the question
at this session at all. while the Senate
leaders are much opposed to doing so.
The situation invites guessing, and every
body is free to participate in guessing

The rich paranoiac murderer who has

five years People have often wondered
why with his mastery pecuniary argu-

and outside friends he has not taken leg
bail before. The conviction of his own
sanity, the hope of having it legally
established. the joy of appearing in court
from time to time, the consciousness OF
being the light of that little world, all
these considerations may have worked or
that dotted brain. They have ceased to
work, apparently. The young moralist
has wearied of his throne: and now he
