Democratic Authority.

The Washington Post, leading

paper which supported Mr. Wilson
in his race for the Presidency, GAS
jcired in the chorus Ct abuse. In q
recent editorial the Post said:
Republicans can now rest sat
;sfied as to the results upon the is
sues which will be presented to the
electors in 1916, for, with Mr.. Will
son as the candidate, there can be ~
successful lodging by the party in
power of those issues, no covering
up or avoidance of the record which
thousands of Democrats are ashamed
of and which hundreds of thousands
of Democrats will repudiate by their
votes in 1916.
The party must face its record
upon the tariff. Its failure to pro-
tect American workingmen. Ameri-
can agriculturalists, American man.
ufacturers and American investors
will lose it votes in every Congress
ional district in the nation.
Fortunately for the country there
is no chancd for Democratic vic
tory next yea r. The country is against
its leaders, aid recognizes that it has
neither convictions nor principles
while domin ated by its present man
ayers. The party was defeated last
year in nearly every important State
in the Union, and it is weaker with
every day that passes. 1t repudiated
its promise of 1912. 1t cannot be be-
lieved in 1916. Republican victory
is assured by the votes of hundreds
of thousands of former Democrats.

In view Of the doubt as to fedexsi

work OF the state prosecutor at rclfe

peal is decided. Such delay might
result In witnesses dying or moving

offenses were so grave that state pen

the chief reason for state prosecution
is the possibility that the federal
convictions may come to naught on
legal grounds. Gov. Ralston owes il ii
the reputation of his state and party

Across Randolf street for a block
the opposite sidewalk down into the
street was packed with another mob
made up of Sweitzer partisans. From
both sides rose a conflicting tumuli

Through it all the lady with the
megnaphone stood close to the build
ing in front of the Thompson head
quarters and bleated impotently
through her huge mouthpiece. One
had to be within two feet to dis
tingish the words.

Men forcing their way through the
jam stopped and looked at her and
smiled. II was ra,ler like seeing

She would not be worth notice
but for the fact that during the week
of irratational hysteria which pre-
coded election day she was many
times multiplied. She may stand as
type of a surprisingly large class.
The first mayoralty campaign in

somehow failed to develop the re-

! Kansas City. Mo-, April 12.-An
EXPOSITION of dynamite or nitroglyc-

wrecked the six-story beef storage
house of the Cudahy Packing COM
pany in Kansas City.
More than 100000 pounds of
dressed beef, which was destined
for the armies of the European al
lies, is believed to be destroyed. The
damage to the building and con-
tents is estimated at $4,000.
Oliver Bennett, an employe, and
Patrick Lyons, fireman were blown

men were injured seriously
Refrigerator cars on switch

Three unidentified foreigners were

A fire which burst out in the same

be of ,ncendiary origin.
That there was absolutely no
natural cause for this evenings ex-
piosion, Superintendent Hale. OF the

were no gas pipes, gas tanks. ammo
mia tanks or any other tanks of ex-
p'osives in the building.
The beef house was $50 by 800
feet and had six stories and base
ment. In it were stored 5000
dressed beeves. There were also guam
titles of lard, sausage. pork and
other grades of meat. The plant was
at East Kansas Avenue and the Kaw
river.
The explosion apparently took
place in the center of the north side
CT the building, probably on the
second floor.

Indiana Vote Frauds,

The jury in the United States
Court at Indianapolis has found all
the twenty-seven defendants charg-
ed with a conspiracy to corrupt the
general election at Terre Haute
guilty, under the law and the evil
dence. The prosecution was under a
peculiar federal statute. which was
applicable only because a member of
Congress was chosen at the election
at which tn frauds took place. There
are many lawyers who question the
judgement of the court. and, no
doubt, its validity will be tested on
appeal. While press reports from
time to time mentioned remarks of
the presiding judge to which excep-
tions were taken. his instructions to
the jury appear to have been fair.
The chief question is the applicable
ty to the statute to such case. Incl
dentally. there are prosecutions of
unquestioned validity growing out
of the conduct of one of the defend
ants and outside friends whose sue
cessful issue would be very salutary

invented a new scheme to make it
Jock real. He instructed the several
hundred National Bank Examiners
throughout the country to report to
him on business conditions. There
were two unsurmountable reasons
why these reports were likely to be
favorable, even optimistic. In the
first place il would have cost the job
OF any of them to have sent any
other kind of report at this time. In
the second place a man who is draw
ing $4,000 per year, paid monthly,
without any question or discount, is
not expected to notice the pinch of
hard times like some poor coal miner
whose mine has long ceased to run,
or some discharged railroad or fac
tory employe. Now. we all want that
wave of prosperity, so long over due,
and which has been so many times
announced, but il cannot be talked
in. II must have some real exis-
tence which can make itself felt by
people who are drawing no large
salary from the government. II the
Secretary really desires to get an
expression from over the country.

just how many miles out il may be

Finding a New Paramount.

Secretary Bryan's recent activity
in behalf of prohibition does not in
dictate such a lively interest in the
promotion of that cause as might ap-
pear at first blusht Ihhe really de-
sired to promote prohibition he would
not weight it down with the indorse-
ment of the Democratic party. There
is constantly growing majority of
/ American electors who have decided
that one might as well try to gather
grapes of thorns or figs of thistles"
as to try to get any good out of the
Democratic party. Its chief function
nowadays is to serve as a horrible
example Mr.. Bryan's real purpose
is to help the Democratic party out
Of its present sorry predicament. He
has picked out prohibition as his
new paramount. His Partially for
paramounts is known of all men.
But he is notionate about them. He
never uses one more than owce. His
first was free silver. His next was
anti-imperialism, coupled with anti
militarism. The next campaign he
sulked, being miffed by the Parker
telegram experimenting the St. Louis
platform. He mounted the govern
ment-ownership paramount, but was
forced to dismount by his Southern
friends long before the Denver con-
vention. That convention gave birth
of litter of paramounts, bank guar
antee and fixed percentage rule for
grading trust being the most con-
spicious. Next campaign he posed
as the savior of the Democratic party
from the hideous error of nominating
the man for whom the Nebraska
Democrats had instructed him 20
vote.
Early in his political career Mr..
Bryan stumped Nebraska, for the
Democratic ticket, on a platform in
favor of the license system. At divers
times he has campaigned in other
states where the liquor question was

the audience could not elicit a state
