Wilson and Bryan.

Again the yarn that Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Bryan have fallen out. and that the
latter will soon retire from the caoinet
with a view of becoming candidate for
the democratic nomination for President
in 1915.
1t is strange there should be circulation
for so absurd an invention 1t violates
all the probabilities, and denies to Mr.
Bryan not only political sagacity. but
good faith and everyday sense.
Never in our political history have two
leaders been drawn together by bonds
better calculated to hold them together
Each has made sacrifices for the other,
and by so doing each. in a way. has
delivered himself into the hands Of the
other.
In going over to Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Will
son parted with many Clevelandites. The
loss did not tell at the polls in the gen
eral result. because the republicans, by
dividing their forces made a present of
the election to the democrats. But had
the republicans remained united. and the
contest been sauarely between the two
old parties. Mr.. Wilson would probably
have been badly beaten. in part because
of his change from Clevelandism to
Bryanism.
In abandoning Mr.. Clark for Mr.. Will
son at Baltimore. Mr.. Bryan incurred the
deepest displeasure of many of his oldest
and warmest friends They did not
take i, out Of the nominee. They sup
ported Mr.. Wilson at the polls But
they felt outraged by Mr.. Bryan's ac-
ton in the national convention. and some
of them have never met him since.
Naturally, after allyinS himself success
f,.ny with Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Wilson invited
his benefactor into his cabinet and quite
as naturally Mr.. Bryan accepted the in
vitation. Having borne the largest part
in the democratic triumph, he had much
TO heart the success of the democratic
administration. and by becoming MEM
Der could hope to render ii much service.
Ii may be true that in some things
Nj Wilson in the White House has not
played the game as Mr.. Bryan would
have done. But i'll the main they have
agreed; and whenever an opportunity has
presented itself each has Endorsed the
others performances in office in most
cordial terms.
The two men are in the same boat.
We're Mr., Wilson TO maneuver for Air.
Bryan's retirement from the cabinet he
would injure himself more than Mr..
Bryan: and if Mr. Bryan We're to retire
from the cabinet for any reason even
squirting toward promoting candidacy
OF his own for President he would make
his nomination absolutely impossible.
So that, putting good faith and good
fellowship entirely out of the question.
selfish considerations alone would make
an open breach between the two men
disastrous for both.

Assessment Appeals.

pronerty owners in the District OF
Columbia have the right of appeal
against assessments placed on their
property when they believe that the as
sessment is too high, and they snouio
exercise this right. II the assessors
have taken the view that the property
is of greater value than owners believe
to be warranted by the facts they are
encouraged to present their case to the
proper authorities and the assessor Is
quoted in The Star today as saying
that Instead of being annoyed by ap-
peals the board of assessors is de-
sirous of obtaining as many of them as
possible for the purpose OF equa1zlns
the new assessments" The time for
making appeals will expire at 4 o'clock
on the afternoon of Monday, June l,
this being the time limit allowed by
the law.
Citizens should understand that their
current tax bills are based on the
previous triennial assessment and that
complaint or appeal against these does
not lie. but that appeal or complaint
against the new assessment on which
future tax bills-those for 1915, 1916
and 1917-will be based, does lie, and
that the duty of citizens is to see that
the assessors have made no error of
Judgment, or. having made one. that
the error is corrected and that the
data for such correction shall be in
their possession before the expiration
of the time limit. 1t will be too late
to protest when the tax bills based
on the current assessment come due.
AS an aid in making an appeal it is
pointed out that 1.-The written appeals
showing prices paid for property and
refusals and offers which are over the
sworn statement of an agent or owner
are of especial value in arriving at
correct assessments" A fair and just
assessment of property as in the in
terest of everybody concerned and the
opportunity to cooperate with the
board of assessors in this important
work should not be overlooked by
property owners.

Penalties of Greatness.

The man who simply plods along
With moderate ambition
And never makes an effort strong
To help the worlds condition,
y very restful life may lead,
Quite free from all contention.
And of him frequently you'll read
Some complimentary mention.
But he who keeps his mind astir
With projects great and striking
Who calls on captains to confer
And molds them to his liking,
Though great results he may secure,
1t can be freely stated.
That some time he is almost sure
To get investigated.

local and national AS the nominee he
will carry the party's banner.
Behind AIR. Palmer will stand the NJ
tional administration. He was Mr.. Will
sons choice for the nomination, was
strong because of that fact, and now OF
course is entitled to and will receive all
the help the administration can render
in the contest for election.
Behind Mr.. P1nchot stands Mr. Roose-
welt. His candidacy expresses Mr.. Roose-
veft's purposes and personal wishes. The
defeat of Mr. Penrose is the leading bull
moose consideration in the keystone
state Every vote formerly republican
withheld from him and cast for Mr.. Pin
chot will be two votes to the good for
be by so much weakened. and the
positive showing of the bull moose party
SO much strengthened.
And vet on the two leading issues of the
campaign Mr. Penrose and Mr.. Roose-
welt are in substantial agreement. Both
are protectionists. Both are opposed to
what may be called, for convenience. the
foreign policy of the administration. Mr.
Penrose viii vote against tolls repeal, as
would Mr.. Roosevelt If he were a mem
Der of the Senate. and will also vote
against the treaty with Colombia If that
instrument is submitted to the Senate
The Colombia treaty is more objection
able to Mr.. Roosevelt tan tolls repeal
Mr. Roosevelts hostility to Mr.. Pen
rose is based on bossism. And yet the
chairman of the bull moose committee
in PENNSYLVANIA is William Finn OF
Pittsburgh, who is numbered among the
Pennsylvania bosses. He and Mr.. Pen
rose received their political training in
the same school. and at one time were
close friends Indeed, Mr.. Finn de-
sired to be Mr.. Penrose's colleague in the
United States Senate. The warfare be-
tween them dates from the refusal OF
Mr. Penrose to support Mr.. Films aspi-
rations.

eral speeches in Pennsylvania after ne

fever and regained his old physical FORM
While convalescing he will go over with
friends the story Of the past seven
months, and then decide where and when

task than putting new river on the
map.

Passing of the Foreign Country.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Gradually the foreign country is pass

gressive peoples of the earth it has
already disappeared. Geographically we

Peace at Niagara ?
IN the New York World.

From the New York World.
The general hopefulness that attends
the assembling Of the mediation con
ference at Niagara Falls must have
some known basis. If it rests upon the
knowledge that Gen. Huerta is prepared
to retire in the interest of peace. as is
semi-officialy reported from the City
of Mexico there is reason for "a Senti-
ment even stronger than hope.
