WASHINGTON, Sept. II
Has William Jennings Bryan given
up the idea of being the Democratic
nominee for the presidency in 1915?
Ask any three Democrats you meet
here that question today and two of
them will tell you they believe he has.
The third will probably remark that
If he hasn't, he might as we'll.
Since March 4 last the big, inter
esting topic of conversation among
Democrats here has been the relations
between President Wilson and his
secretary of state. Tariff. currency,
patronage, the Mexican situation,
high cost of living, trusts and every
Other subject which goes to make up
conversation invariably leads to the
question of what will be the outcome
of this curious political bedfellowship.
A year ago, 1t is known, Mr.. Wilson
| still cherished his hope of knocking
Mr.. Bryan into cooked hat" AT
that time, too, the Nebraska Com
moner would probably have gasped at
the idea that he should ever play sec
. ond fiddle to the New Jersey school
stampede the Baltimore convention
last summer. the last thought that
was in his mind was the bringing
about of Wilson's nomination. Bry-
ans friends and enemies both believed
he was paving the way to his own
nomination, or to a split in the party
that would give him the excuse for
joining Roosevelt in the organization
of a new party. Wilson had been his
enemy and opponent, and he was per-
sonally pledged as a delegate to
Champ Clark.
Bryan made Clark's nomination i'm
possible, as he expected to do, and
made a lifelong enemy of the
speaker. But that was only half his
fight. The nomination of Wilson was
no more to his purpose than would
have been the nomination of Clark.
Then began one of the strangest
political intimacies seen in politics in
this generation, at least.
Wilson did not want Bryan in his
cabinet, but couldn't avoid offering
him the best job in sight without con-
victing himself of ingratiutde. Bryan
didn't want to go into the Wilson cab
met, but couldn't refuse without max
ing it very plain that his plan at Bal
timore had failed.
L
President also considered it safer to
have Bryan where he could watch
him than to leave him at large. Bryan,
on the other hand, ahd told friends he
wanted to remain free to commend or
criticize during the Wilson admins
tration. The cabinet muzzle was not
to his liking, but he had to put in on,
grin, and pretend to like it.
Immediately following Wilson's in
auguration there was a general belief
among Bryan's friends that Wilson
would not be a candidate for reelec-
ton. Having been forced into the
cabinet, Bryan went at the job OF
making himself Wilson'S closest and
best friend. believing that the Presi-
dent would accept the spirit of the
one-term plank in the Baltimore plat
form, and at the end of his term take
the leading part in handing his secre-

baltimore May Take to Walking.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Welcome to anything that will
bring walking back into fashion.
Cheaper than golf or tennis. any one
can afford 1t, and it is more whole
some than riding in automobiles or
trolley cars The suggestion that
there be established here a Wander
lust" society. like that In Phila-
delphia, to make long tramps
through interesting regions near the
city. has met with immediate re-
Spouse. Baltimore itself abounds in
spots of historic interest, and as for
the country round about, visitors adj
nit that no other large city has sub
urbs that surpass ours in natural
beauty or variety.
Perhaps it would be we'll to limit
the membership of each mixers elub
to a hundred. If more than that the
countryside might be alarmed under
the impression that an invading
army was coming. The movement
only waits for some one to start 1t.
All the paraphernalia needed is
walkingstick and a man. But there
is no need of waiting for society
to be organized. Just as much pleas
ure Will be found in half-dozen or
a score of friends walking together
over the hills and through the for
ests and fields to some of the many
points of natural or historic inter-
est. Or you can start 1t yourself
without waiting for any one else, set
ting off like David Grayson in search
of adventure along country roads.

Whence comes this prodigious pros
perity? What causes have combined
to create a new Pittsburgh of the
Middle West?
Surely there is some explanation.
It is an interesting story-rivals any
of the tales of the Thousand and
One Nights" The curious part of this
romance of magic money conjuring is
that, generally speaking, the supreme
kings of this new industry are not
financiers
They are, instead, blacksmiths.
This wondrous anomaly becomes in
telligible when one stops only for a
few moments to consider how the
gasoline car has annually beaten its
own marvellous record for growth.
1t has advanced in popularity with
the speed of an aeroplane.
In ancient times-that is to say,
about the year 1900-the men behind
lDI. 1ox
survived the tests of efficiency were
mostly day laborers of one kind or
another, but chiefly blacksmiths,
leather workers, railroad yardmen
and others less skilled.
1t requires a self-trained mechanic
to take interest in the intricacies of
the gasoline engine. Such man was
Henry Ford, who today has an in
come of 100000 a month. Ford
was an itinerant threshing machine
boss; before that he was a farmers
lad: later an employee in an electric
light factory. He possessed Yankee
adaptability for mechtnics. He
worked nights on his "new-fangled
motor" as he described it. The re-
suits were slow and crude but he
kept on the job.
Other men who are now at the

up with factory SCOT upon their faces
and foundry Crime upon their over
alls.
1t was, you understand, problem
for a dreamer-a man willing to idle
away his time.
The era of the capitalist in the
gasoline field came much later The
blacksmiths were the founders of the
new dynasty.-Brooklyn Eagle.
