PoLIrIcs-AND GREED.

II the credit of the State is as strong
and unimpaired as 1t is alleged, 1t
would seem that there would be no
doubt but what these bonds would be
readily taken by our banking institu-
lions. We fear that there is too much
politics mixed up in the question, and
it begins to look like there we're some
who are not so much concerned about
the credit of the State as they are
about seeing the present administra-
ton faiI.-Homer Guardian Journal.
And add to that, the reservation too
much greed.
There is undoubtedly disposition
to make something politically Of the
halt in the sale of the States refund
ing bonds, by embarrassing Gov. Hall
in his administration, but in fact moth
ing substantial can be accomplished by
his opponents in this way, because it is
well.known that the law under which
the bonds are offered for sale is not
law of Gov. Halls devising but that OF
his predecessor. II any blame attaches
in that particular, it must inevitably
fall upon the great financial promiser,
J. Y. Sanders.
If Gov. Hall fail to sell the bonds, it
will not reflect upon him, but rather
give point to the supposition that his
own plans might have resulted differ
emily. Failure will react upon the OBJ
structionists.
In our opinion, it is the greed of the
great Louisiana banks that is the OBJ
stacle in selling the bonds. These
banks are holding out for higher
rate of interest, needless of the fact
that all this delay is costing the State,
and incidentally themselves, far more
than the difference in interest desired.
A States bonds can not go begging
without loss of reputation and pres
tige. In due time, the people will
make inquiry as to the responsibility
for such condition, and visit their
disDleasure accordingly.

A TIP TO BRYAN.

The London Daily Mail utters the
following advice to Bryan:
when Secretary Bryan loudly pro-
claimed that there should be no war
during his tenure of Office, he forgot
California and forgot Japan. 1t is not
probable that Japan will proceed to
extremes; her statesmen are too wise
to fight on an issue where Western
opinion would not support them, while
her strength is not equal to a struggle
with the United States. =
yet 1t would be we'll for Mr.. Bryan
to remember that he who declares that
nothing will force him to fight is in
viting his opponents to drive him into
a position where it would be difficult
for him to keep the peace"
