the House before taking up the repeal
controversy for consideration, Great ed
sorne comment In the Senate
Informal conferences were held
among Democrats, their conclusions
being that there Is no reason for un-
usual haste on the part of the Sen
ate, and that action by tho House
should encounter unusual delay. Should
the House prolong discussion of the
measure unreasonable. administration
leaders in the Senate may make an
effort TO take Initiative action.

Wilson has given him his own way
and let him have all the rope he
wanted. Wilson provided the rope
with which Bryan hanged himself"
Months ago The Morning Telegraph
called attention to the fact that since
Bryan had entered the Cabinet he
had lost his standing as a political
power; that the country no longer
took him seriously, and it was
pointed out at that time that Presi-
dent Wilson had provided the means
by which Bryan had dropped from
the pedestal on which certain I'M
thinking persons had placed him.
Wilson made him a bright and shin
ing light, and did not in any fashion
Interfere with his actions. Bryan
went out with the yodelers over the
ChautauGua circuit, and in reply to
criticism said he had fright to do
what he wished on his vacation" 1t
was the excuse of a ten-dollar-a-
week clerk, and the country began
to laugh at him, and has continued
to do so. Wilson, as the sage Wat
tersOn truly says, provided the rope
by which Bryan hanged himself In
doing SO Wilson has helped himself
with the country-at the same time
he has removed a rival for the nomi-
nation for the Presidency in the next
campaign.

NOT THEIR KIND OF CLAM AND
ORDER

Now it is the Colorado mine own
ers who are begging that the Federal
troops be withdrawn from that State.
According to all accounts the
troops are leaning as far over to-
wards the operators as they dare.
Picketing is forbidden, union orga-
mixers have difficulty in reaching the
men, and strike breakers are inter
tered with but little when brought
into the mines
But the gunner are net allowed to
shoot the miners and burn up women
and children. There is o "closed
season" for hunting the families Of
union men.
This is SO much Of an improve
ment over previous conditions that
the miners make no objection
But the operators are complain
ing bitterly and all the best citi-
Zens" are holding mass meetings and
sending resolutions asking that the
troops be withdrawn, so that the
good old days Of shootings and burn
ings may begin again.-Milwaulee
