tatterson lays down the proposition
With characteristic emphasis, that nc
democrat can be prohibitionist. Be
. tween these two extreme men stand
democrats of Mr.. Bryan's kind, who
while favoring prohibition. insist that
the matter is for the states and not
the nation to deal with.
This is taken from a printed COM
muncation dated in Philadelphia. and
praising Mr. Bryan for his work
there
"He came to d rum-cursed state,
under the auspices of the best citizens
OF the state. at most crucial time IN
her history. when the very party
which elected Rrumbaugh on local
option platform is trying to make him
break his pledges to the people
Here is something of interest added
to the subject Suppose Mr.. Bryan's
performance helps force the repub-
lican party of Pennsylvania to redeem
its platform pledge on the temperance
issue Will that help or hurt the party
next year, Ii it helps. will it add to
the stature OF Gov Brumbaugh in
politics? He has been mentioned as
a presidential candidate with middle
state man for second place. and also
for second place himself with mid
die state man for first.
But this local s~aeet does not COM
pare in importan. with the national
aspect OF the visit Mr.. Bryan will be
his party's leading stumper next year,
as we'll because OF his stunping ahii-
ity as because of his position, Mr..
Clark ranks high, but Mr.. Bryan will
outclass him in the canvass as the
Presidents right-hand man. In the
absence of the President. who will
not, of course, take the stump, Mr.
Bryan will speak most directly by the
card. What he says will go" The
voters will be listening to the man
not only then at the head of the cabi-
net, but likely TO remain there for a
second term in case OF Mr.. Wilson
reelection.
But wherever John Barleycorn is
strong-and he is strong in many
places-Mr Bryan, if he includes
those places in his stumping itinerary
will be in "the enemy's country"-an
experience which will recall the cam
paign of 1896, when his financial
views gave to the lines of his stump
ing tours zigzag appearance.

The Firemen's Pension Paradox

The District is often cited as a
model municipality. yet II presents
cme striking paradoxes. For in
tance, owing to the failure of the
local legislature to provide properly
sor the pensioning OF disabled police
men and tiremen, the spectacle is now
otfcred OF those municipal servants
Who have earned retirement in the
Inc OF duty virtually paying the med

lided members of the two depart

This is shameful condition. Ii
Jas existed for long time, despite
repeated protests and pleas to Con-
Sress. Now the Commissioners, il is
reported. are determined TO lay the
matter before the local lawmakers at
their first opportunity in terms that
viii require definite action. giving the
District an adequate pension basis for
the full compensation OF the men
whose services it has accepted, whose
lives II has risked and whose health

full of every step we take while it
lasts. A sincere desire for an early
peace is one thing. Protecting our
interests without becoming involved
in the struggle is another thing
We may assume that if at any time
the President needs Congress he will
summon it. 1t is at his command.
A notice from him will bring the
members together speedily. There
should be few absentees. Visits to
Europe have been temporarily sus-
pended Everybody is forced now to
"see America first" and every ma
tional legislator is under official obl1-
cations to attend to Uncle Sans
business first. His own business
must wait.
If Congress is convened it will be
for a specific purpose, and its duty
will be not to travel outside that
purpose. The occasion would not
properly admit of playing politics.
That opportunity will come at the

by both sides. The democrats want
to hold on to power, and the repub-
licans to regain it. and both will ma
neuver between meeting day in De
cember and adjournment day for ad-
vantage.
In the light OF common knowledge
and experience it is not safe, there
fore, to say that Congress will or
will not be called in extra session.
The only sure thing is that Congress
will be within call, and ready tor
business if business becomes impera-
tive. Mr.. Wilson should not, and
probably will not. take any chances,
but give Congress and the country
the benefit of any doubt that may
arise in his mind as to his power to
proceed in any matter of grave I'M
portance.

The Peach Crop.

Lovers of the peach = the peach
with the natural bloom upon its
cheeks-have felt encouraged by the
tardy spring. Without season OF
premature buds and blossoms and an
unwonted freeze, friends of this fair
fruit believed that the kindly season
had thwarted the assassins who kill
the peach crop before it has chance
to defend itself. But the peach kill
ers are ingenious and inventive
They will not be baked in their
black designs. Why anybody should
want to kill a peach except by eat
ing it is past the understanding of a
normal man, yet there are villains OF
such soulless type that they would
slay the peach even in its tender,
blooming youth. March-even March
to whom pity SO often is stranger
has thus far refused to lend hand
in the massacre Of peach buds. But
the villains still pursue them. Ac-
cording to a news report from New
Jersey the ruthless enemies of the
peach crop have called to their aid
"a small, reddish-brown bird, about
the size of sparrow, which is raw
enously devouring the peach buds
1t is not believed that even the Eng
lish sparrow would do such das-
tard thing. 1t is the hope Of all orni-
biologists and pomologists and all
other friends of birds and peaches
that there is no such bird.

The Presidential Primary.

The presidential primary plan goes
CIR. Next years nominations will
r,c made by the existing method.
such seems to be the promise OF
-cnator Pomerenc's report to Mr..
Wilson.
II is probably the best possible
t,mporary disposition Of the ques-
on. Opinion is divided both about
what should be and what can be
lone. A constitutional point IS in
owed; and, as usual. that causes dis
.ussion and brings a pause At times,
the Constitution is something, even as
ctwcen friends.
Primaries have been extended very
guch OF late years. and this PROPOSE
ion is TO carry them to the top. And
vet they have not altogether justified
themselves. Nominations have been
1ade by niinorities-sometime small
and political expenses have been
ucrcased. Voters have not. as was
promised. taken greater interest in
APPLICANTS for Office, while applicants
''ave found that it still takes money
- make the mare go. Bosses have
not been eliminated. nor have ma
hines been sent to the scrap heap
One objection urged to national
onventions is the hullabaloo with
,.hich Of late years they have come
10 be conducted. Circus features have
been introduced and emphasized.
They are our great quadrennial po-
litical stunt. Nominations are made
and platforms adopted amid such a
uhirl and swirl, the senses reel. The
rolume and the length of the hurrah
are expected to achieve results, and
therefore are employed. An hours
cheering for this candidate; an hour
and ten minutes for that candidate,
and great walk-around and double
,huff1e of delegates have done won
ders-greater wonders than subse-
quently were enjoyed
But that feature could be trimmed
- eliminated. 1t is not necessary to
Nill the nominating conventions in
rider TO get rid Of it. And the con
entions could with advantage be re-
duced in size. They are too large. and
on that account unwieldy. A party
must have platform; and men com
petent to make that are competent
also TO name candidate to stand on
t.
But whatever change is necessary
y a matter SO very important should
3e made only after thorough exami
nation and full discussion. Congress
It the next session will be a busy
body with questions far more press
ing than this, and should make an ef
iort to get away in the spring. An
other trial OF the old plan will not
.lurt; and it may be that something
htuch less radical in the way OF re-
Flsion than is now suggested can in
nc end be agreed upon.
