The Democrats and the Bosses.

The boss question is plasuing the
democrats as we'll the republicans
and they are handling it gingerly-
Thus far there has been no attempt
to drag Mr.. Bryan into the New YORK
row over Tammany. and there should
be none In his three races for the
presidency Mr.. Bryan was in the closest
relations with Tammany. In fact, the
tiger was the only Bryan influence in
New York Democrats by the thou
sands. and some Tammany democrats
voted the republican ticket But the
leaders of Tammany-the bosses, II you
please-stood by Mr.. Bryan, and IN
,urred censure for so doing. The pres
ent fight on Tammany is Wilson hght,
and not wholly because of Tammanys
course at Baltimore.
Nor has there been any effort as yet
to drag Mr.. Wilson into the Illinois
row over Roger Sullivan. That Is Mr.
Bryan's affair. He is opposed to Mr..
Sullivan, and has been for many years.
Ten years ago at the democratic nation
al convention he denounced Mr.. Sui
Ivan to the extent of a vigorous
vocabulary. Naturally, it rritates him
70 find Mr.. Sullivan seeking seat in
the Senate at this time. Success will
mean bringing MIR. Sullivan into close
relations with the administration. of
which Mr.. Bryan is the premier. At
Baltimore, when the pinch came, Mr..
Sullivan, who was a delegate, threw his
influence to Mr.. Wilson. and was of as
sistancs in the making of the nomina-
tiop.
IN Indiana, where Thomas Taggart is
not candidate for Office. his boss
ship is in the scale, and 1T happens
that both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan
can, and will. help. Both want Mr..
Shively returned to the Senate. and
Mr.. Shivelys success will mean Tag
garts success. Another term for Mr..
Sbtvely will strengthen Mr.. Taggarts
hold on the party machinery. and In
1916 there will be another Taggart
delegation from Indiana to the demo-
cratic national convention.
This is comfortable sort of arrange
ment. The whole weight of the admin
istration is not thrown against bossism
anywhere, but for 1T in at least one
Important state. AS Tammany was for
long the friend and supporter of Mr..
Bryan, he is not asked to help crush
the Organization AS Roger Sullivan
helped to set Mr.. Wilson's feet in the
path to the White House. Mr.. Wilson
will not personally help clutter up Mr..
Sullivan's path to the Senate And as
Mr.. Taggart supported Mr.. Bryan in
the 1at.er's three presidential cam
paigns. and Mr.. Wilson in his one
campaign, both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Will
son will do Mr.. Taggart friendly turn
now.
Politics not only makes strange bed
fellows, but it makes them cut strange
capers. Especially is this true as re-
spects the issue of bosses and bossism.
Both parties are full Of bosses. and
valuably served by them, and yet both
are red in the face in a pretended
chase for their determination.

Hair-Trigger Vengeance.

The too-ready revolver figures In the

man who had just secretly married q
girl walked into the Office Of her father
to explain. holding in his hand the mar
riage certificate. and was about to state
his case when the enraged parent, with
out giving the youth chance to speak,
pulled from desk drawer a loaded pistol
and fired four bullets into his son-in-law's
body. killing him instantly. Now the
slayer pleads for mercy on the ground
that he did not know the boy was mar
ried"
Fire first and think afterward. seems
to be the rule with that portion Of
humanity that clings to the pistol as a

life and her husband Is forever dis

A Little Child's Sad Death.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Griffith, who
live on the H. M. Turner farm, mile or
two west OF Shepherdstown, were greatly
afflicted last Thursday in the sad and
sudden death of their little daughter,
George, aged two years and eight
months. The child had gone TO an up
stairs room alone, and somehow got hold
of box OF quinine pills. She probably
thought that she had found candy, for
she ate number of the pellets-just how
many could not be ascertained. This
occurred about half-past nine o'clock.
She played about with the other children,
no one knowing that she ad~taken the
quinine until about an hour later, when
she became i'll. Her mother ministered
to her, but she grew constantly worse,
and DR.. Burwell was hastily summoned.
By this time the poison had permeated
the little girls entire system, and though
the physician did everything possible to
relieve her, il was too late, and at BALI
past eleven O'Clock, two hours after the
drug had been taken, she died. George
was a sweet and lovable little girl, and
her sudden death was heavy blow TO
her devoted parents, who have the SYM
pathy of their friends in the affliction that
has befallen them. The funeral service
was conducted Saturday morning by Rev.
c. Sydenstricker in The Southern Metho-
dist Church, and the body was laid to
rest in Elmwood Cemetery.
