The Colonel and the Commoner.

Mr. Bryan, when unwillingly a private citizen,
accused President Roosevelt of stealing his poti-
cal clothes Now that Col. Roosevelt admits that
he is the most private of private citizens, Secretary
Bryan lays himself open to the counter charge, that
he is trying to appropriate part of the Colonels
garments. The Colonel went into the Ohio cam
pagn and preached prohibition. Mr.. Bryan went
into the campaign with lips so tightly sealed
on that subject that the preachers of Ohio could
not pry them open with quotations from the Com
moner The Colonel denounced the political iniu-
ence of the liquor traffic but Secretary Bryan made
speeches for Gov. Cox, who was represented as
having the support of that traffic.
Prohibition clothes are not particularly new,
they have been worn by many ambitious poll
ticians in the past but between these two great
modern appropriators of old clothes, the Colonel
saw them first and put them on. Secretary Bryan
would be forced to admit that before any justice of
the peace, without able counsel on either side.
There is possible way for lawyers to tangle this
situation. 1t looks though Secretary Bryan had
taken an unfair advantage of the Coloners an
nounced perpetual silence and had published the
Coloneps Ohio speech signed editorial in the
Commoner and without credit in the text.
That is not in. accord with newspaper ethics. The
editor of the Commoner ought not to publish such
signed editorials, just because the Colonel has
ceased to be an editor no longer has organ, and
has gone into political retirement
If these old prohibition clothes should prove to
be of good material and becoming style in the near
future, it would not be surprising to hear that the
Colonel had come out from his most private of pri-
vate citizenship and let the world know that Secre-
tary Bryan has no moral or legal right to wear
those clothes. The Colonel saw them lying on the
bank near the swimming hole, where DR.. Clafin
dropped them in November 1912, as unsuited to the
Democratic blizzard which swept over the country
at that time. Unless Secretary Bryan can prove
that he is the original old-cothes of America,
some of his critics admit and that he has right
to any old clothes that are not found on the back
of some wearer, the people will be inclined to side
with the Colonel.

Danger in Common Sense.

Although the coroner has been with from the
very frst-he has been in full bloom in England
since the twelfth century-it begins to look as if
we were at last getting rather tired of him. The
intelligent Bostonese parted with him some time
ago, and they to have had no cause to regret
it. The recent testimony of New York City
coroner that in the discharge of his official duty he
is influenced more by Common sense" than by law
throws light on some of the evils of the system
and will contribute largely to the ultimate doing
away with the Office in this country.
Even in those far-away Middle Ages, the coroner
was invested with wide discretion in the exercise
of his official functions One of his privileges was
to institute inquiry concerning treasure trove-who
were the finders, where it was and what were the
means of getting possession of it. The modern
coroner has been known to deal with hidden mat
tiers in quite different way. In New York City, it
has been shown that friends of persons who have
died mysterously have been able to obtain the sort
of death certificate best suited to their needs by the
payment of money.
1t is now somewhat generally understood that

Unusual in its interest IS the lecture
for the benefit OF the Belgian relief fund
to be heard in IinthiCvm Hail, G. org,-

Park
The lecturer. Francois L Matthes, OF
the United States Geological Survey, a
Hollander by birth. has passed a num-
Der Of years in Belgium and has Bel
gian connections and his interest in the
Yosemite Valley comes from four years
passed in government work making an
elaborate map OF the region for the gov
eminent and in studying for a report
at the coming Panama-PaCific ENposi-
tiOn in popular language upon the origin
of this remarkable chasm
The park is within a DAYS journey Of
San Francisco and will be visited by
thousands attending the exposition
To add 10 the interest the Interior
Department has placed at the disposal
of the mems club Of Christ Episcopal
Church, under whose auspices the bene-
fit is undertaken. all the motion picture
films OF the National park as well as its
remarkable collection of stereopticun
slides
Pictures Of the massive peaks and
domes and the great waterfalls, the

DEATH ROLL OF DISASTERS.

Terrible as are the ravages OF war,
they are far surpassed by some other
disasters which from time to time over
whelm the human race. The Franco
Prussian war killed about 10000 in
seven months. The death roll OF the
Russo-Japanese reached about 100000.
A single earthquake U737. in India)
has been estimated to have caused 3OO,-
600 deaths The fatalities OF the Mes
sina earthquake in 1908 cannot have
been far short OF 100000. A tidal wave
in 1886 drowned $1,000 persons in ia
pan, causing a greater loss or lie than
the whole war with China in 1894. The
earthquake in Japan in 1903 is said to
have killed 100000 people. The Lisbon
earthquake in 1855 destroyed 10000 hu-
man lives. while 10000 were lost in the
same year in earthquakes in Persia
Terrible as such disasters are, they
pass over the multitudes of the human
population OF our globe as the merest
ripple on a mighty sea. The total pop
ulation OF the earth is somewhere about
eighteen hundred millions. Annually
there are added to it fourteen million
souls. Every year at least eighty mil
lions are born and sixty or seventy
millions die. This means a daily birth
rate Of about 100000, a death rate of
10000. The daily increase in popula-
tion is 10000. In comparison with this
irresistibly swelling tide, what are the
greatest battles. wars. or earthquakes
but almost microscopic ripples? II We
imagine that the power were given to
some despot to order wholesale
slaughter and that guillotines were
kept busy beheading one man every
minute. night and day. this would add
only three-fourths of l per cent to the
existing death rate!-Scientific Ameri
can.

There are times when the valiant services of the
police challenge admiration and instance of the
sort has just come to light in Worcester, Mass
where the pastor of the First Spiritual Church ap-
pealed to the chief of police for protection against
lovesick maidens and scheming mothers" For
weeks, he said, he has been made unhappy by love
letters and telephone calls. He turned over to the
police package of letters, some of them daintily
colored and richly scented The police it is stated
visited home and advised that attentions to the
pastor should cease. 1t is heartless person who
can contemplate without shudder the dread peril
from which the pastor has been rescued But he is
safe, thank goodness; he is safe. That is enough
to know now. And it is to the unnamed bluecoat
heroes of Worcester that the credit is due

under the present laws of New York for example,
coroner's death certificate may be the cloak for
deviltry of the most heinous description. When a
death from throat cutting is ascrhed to rupture, a
fatal poisoning to chronic heart trouble and sui
eide by the inhalation of gas to nephris it is time
to look into the present usefulness OF this ancient
Institution.
The ingenious admission OF the New York eoro-
ner that he Is governed more by common sense
than by law is grewsomely suggestive 1t is this
exercise of Common sense" that heads off trouble
some inquiry in the very presence of crime. At this
time when human life is held so lightly it is not
reassuring to think of the common sense" coroner

The military order of the Carabao has abandon
cd its annual dinner because the members agreed
they couldn't have fun without committing some
grave indiscretion, like damning the Filipino or
scuttling the good ship Pifle which brought forth
a rebuke from the White House last year. 1t does
seem, however that sedate little after dinner pro-
gram might have been arranged for the approval
of board of censors, depicting Funstons retreat,
the "unfriendly, but not hostile shots at the Ten
nessees launch, and the hiarity in the officers mess

Owing to the increase of drinking among the
women of London since the war began, the authori-
ties have come to an agreement with the liquor
sellers by which women not served with drink
before go in the morning. Now the women suf-
fragsts are protesting loudly against the dscrimi-
nation. as it not time" one of them writes, eve
finished with this sickening cant, and placed women
equal footing with men, to be equally con-
doned and equally penalized? 1t is intolerable if
a little humorous that quite temperate woman
like myself should be driven to feel that the only
dignifed course to pursue is to insist on being
served with Intoxicating drink every morning be-
fore 1890" Can it be possible that the discrmina-

Rnual Genrpe and RulWark.

The loss of the Bulwark Within thirty
five miles Of London recalls the similar
of the friEate Royal George on
August %, I7S2, memOrallzed in William
Cowper's poem. certain lines of which
are strikingly suggestive Of the recent
disaster:
Toll for the brave!
The brave that are no more.
All sunk beneath the wave.
Fast by their native shore!
Eight hundred of the brave.
Whose courage well was tried
It was not in the battle.

She sprang no fatel leak;
She ran upon no rock.

His fingers held the pen,

A military expert" tells it would be terrible
thing if an invading army should shoot the dome of
the Capitol off, upset the Congressional Library,
raze the White House with shells and put the Pres
idcnt to fight Quite number of persons have long
held similar views but they will be gratifed at

were powerful enough and we would let him. That

A New York shopkeeper, whose horse had been
stolen who had been twice held up and robbed of
$3.50, gold watch and chain and two valuable dia-
mond rings and who had received threatening
black hand letters, arrested when he pursued
three fleeing tn ives with revolver he kept in his
shop. He had been unable to provide himself with
a permit to keep pistol, as required by the law,
a formality which New York's gunmen and crooks
also dispense with. Apparently there is ground for
the complaint that the New York law succeeds
only in preventing the law-abiding citizen from
arming himself against the wcll-heeled crook.

The poor include millions and millions oi
women. 1t is thought by many excellent people
that even if women do get the vote it should be
limited to the nice women, the intelligent women
that is to the women who are well-to-do.
The women among the poor, the sustainers oi
the heaviest burden of society, ought not to be
allowed to vote. They ought to be taught to bear
their burdens with patience. They would simply
add to the ignorant vote.
And. of course, there is no doubt that the vote
of the poor is an ignorant vote. Here really is the
chief trouble with the poor. If the poor were not
so ignorant they would not be unconscious of the
meaning of their burdens.
They would not be SO patient.
They would not be so slow to realize the value
of the vote in dollars, in food for themselves and
for their children.
