A Tale of Two Brothers.

Charles W. Bryan, brother of
William j. Bryan, is candidate for the
democratic nomination for Governor of
Nebraska The primaries take place
April Is. His platform concerns itself
chiefly with local questions, but national
questions are not ignored, as witness:
II yield first place to no man in ap-
proval Of the great works accomplished
by President Wilson and the democratic
Congress, nor in advocacy of the re-
nomination and reelection of President
Wilson The pending legislation in
favor of giving independence to the peo-
pie of the Philippines, and the certain
early success of the administration g
rural credits bill, mark the most faith
full redemption of all the legislative
pledges made to the people of the ma
tion by the Baltimore convention, and
entitle the administration and the demo
cratic Congress to the unreserved ap-
proval of the country"
How the Philippine bill and the rural
credits bill "mark the most faithful re-
demption of all the legislative pledges
made at Baltimore" is not clear Maybe
those are the two things sponsored by
the administration which have impressed
Mr.. Bryan the most favorably. He is
against preparedness, and, as does his
brother, sees in the proposition only a
money making scheme of the producers
Of war supplies.
William J. Bryan indorses his
brothers candidacy, and will take the
stump in its behalf next month.
TO his objection to the Presidents
change of mind on preparedness, W. J
Bryan now adds an objection to the
Presidents change of mind on the prop
csition for u tariff commission Men
t'pning the fact that the republicans
ltvc several Times advocated and the
'".aorrats orpo>2d commission. Mr
RYAN says;
The commission was also opposed b,
H." democrats on the ground that i

The Minimum Electricity Charge.

In the course Of his remarks before
the Federation of Citizens Associations
Saturday night President King Of the
Potomac Electric Power Company stated
that the minimum charge Of 81 month
for electric current barely meets the
monthly expense of looking after the
meter. This statement calls for elabo-
ration. 1t assuredly challenges public
interest. The meaning, practically, is
that it costs dollar for every meter in
spection, which is rather a high figure,
considering the amount Of work required
for the average meter inspection. If
the meter inspectors of the electric com
pany cannot do better than that there
is certainly lack of efficiency in that
department. The gas company has
never been allowed to charge a dollar
month for meter inspection, and it
has not suffered bankruptcy in conse
quenee. 1t may be true, as President
King states, that if every one of the
g, 900 consumers Of current used no
electricity and merely paid the mini
mum charge Of a dollar month the
corporatiS5 would be sent on the finan-
Evening star., 1916-02-21

duction has been made, the democrats
would be more likely to favor the COM
mission as an excuse for not dealing
with the tariff question for the present.
As q motion for continuance, it may
serve a useful purpose. There is no
use, however, of ignoring the fact that
the findings of the commission will have
very little weight in Congress. A re-
publican will favor a high tariff, no mat
ter what reductions democratic COM
mission might recommend, and demo-
cratic Congress would in like manner
ignore the recommendations of a re-
publican commission"
Here. then, we have the attitude of
the two brothers toward the administra-
ton. G. w. Bryan indorses it on two
minor matters, while W. J. Bryan con-
demns it on two major matters. Scuttle
from the Philippines and rural credits
neither as yet written into law-exalt
the President in c. w. Bryan's estima-
tion, while W. ]. Bryan deplores the
two things-preparedness and tariff
commission-which the President is ex-
erting all the power of his Office to have
Congress adopt.
The Bryans, it may be mentioned,
have put good deal into the scale at
home. If C. W. Bryan is nominated for
governor. W. j. Bryan will get credit
for the victory, and be stronger with
his party in the state than ever. But
if C. W. Bryan is defeated for the
nomination, his more famous brother
may be injured. How, then, will it be
about his heading and controlling the
Nebraska delegation to the st. Louis
convention

Causes of Elation.

Causes of Elation.

And their occupations make US all

Would certainly have slain you on the

We are thankful, as we think Of the ex.

cial rocks, for there are heavy mainte-
nance charges in an establishment
which must be prepared to meet the
current demands, whatever they are.
But in view Of the definite fact that
the current use is far above the mini
mum it is idle to speculate on what
would happen if the demand we're cut
off while the subscribers paid their mini
mum charge. That charge remains a
mystery to the average consumer. There
may be substantial, sound reason for
it, but it has not yet been advanced.
Not even the explanation of the execu-
tive head that the inspection service
costs a dollar month for each meter
satisfies the public curiosity on the sub
ject.

A Suggested Republican Surrender.
An unnamed "cIcsc friend" o

An unnamed "cIosc friend of Mr..
Roosevelt is quoted as follows:
Col. Roosevelt would not take the re
publican nomination unless the repub-
Hcan leaders came to him and insisted
that he was the one man who could put
up the best fight against Wilson and
the Wilson policies. He would not con-
slider nomination which had any ele-
ment of manipulation or triekery in re-
gard to the southern delegates
If this is by the card it contributes
something valuable to one of the most
interesting discussions of the day. In
fact, it closes that discussion, by taking
Mr. Roosevelt out of the calculation
about the republican presidential nomi
nation.
Is il possible to conceive of the re-
publican leaders confessing bankruptcy
and asking Mr.. Roosevelt to take charge
of the party. And even if Mr.. Roose-
welt were to show pity on the appli-
eants and undertake the management of
the concern what would such a can
didacy amount tor
9 Not only the third-term issue, but the
one-man- power issue, would be raised.
The country would be asked to restore
to power, not the republican party, but
Theodore Roosevelt; and if he entered
the White House after such a campaign
Mr.. Roosevelt would undoubtedly pro-
.aal ,,,lo b;r,eo1f ssfbo bo1 Shou- -
Now this is government by party.
The proposition is to turn out the demo-
cratic party and turn in the republican
party. According to the republican
party, the democratic party has failed
in office. and the promise is Of better
things if the republican party is in
vested with power.
Mr.. Wilson, it is true, is the one man
in his party under consideration for
this years campaign, but that is be-
, cause he is in office, and precedent calls
for an appeal for continuation of power
through him. To set him aside would
be to confess failure for the party, since
VIC Hdo dSSCpbco
.tions, and made his policies its policies.
If the republicans have no man of
their own worthy to lead them in the
coming fight. and in order to make a
fight must go outside for leader, they
should drop the name of their party and
adopt that of the party upon which they
draw for their man. Let the contest
with the democracy be waged in the
name of bull moosery.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not expecting such
action by the republicans as this "close
friend" suggests. He not only knows
what he wants, but that he must exert
all his powers in the effort to get it (;
and he is going after it in the manner
Of man who knows politics and poll
ticians.

Russia's Asia Minor Advance.

| The developments in the Russian
campaign in Asia Minor confirm the be-
| lief that very severe blow has been
inflicted upon the Turco-T Teutonic cause
by the capture of Erzerum. The Rus
slams did not halt after taking Ere
rum. but pressed on to the west, the
north and the south in fan shaped
formation, aiming at Trebizond on the
shore of the Black sea and also for Bitlis
near the western coast of Lake Van,
southeast of Erzerum. Their object is
| apparently to drive the Turks westward
and, if possible, outflank them in pur-
suit to cut off the detachments that have
been operating in the south in the
Euphrates and Tigris valleys against the
British Mesopotamian expedition.
In this westward advance of the Rus
slams they will have the advantage of
support and supplies from their naval
forces on the Black sea. In effect, their
base of supplies will be floating one,
following their right flank as the army
progresses, if it succeeds in advancing
continuously toward Constantinople.
The chief disadvantage in this plan is
that high mountain range skirts the
shore Of the Black sea practically con-
tinuously from the Transcaucasus boun-
dairy to the Bosporus, rendering trans
portation inland from the sea somewhat
troublesome. Perhaps offsetting this
difficulty is the fact that the Russians
have the sympathy of the native popu-
lation, the Armenians already having
given evidences of decided hostility to
the Turks, cutting off stragglers and Of
fering themselves to the Russian forces
for any service.
A strict censorship is evident in the
dispatches from Constantinople, which
is described in some fugitive reports as
being in state of CONSERVATION over
the Russian advance. Unless the Turk
ish army can be rallied in strong DO
sition there is no present prospect of a
failure of the Russians to press on to
the Bosporus. This is the first oppor-
tunity the Russian army has had to
demonstrate its ability to maintain a
continuous offensive since the great
drive through Galicia, which was more
than Offset by the subsequent retreat
that set the Teutonic lines well inside
of Russian territory. The excuse offered
for that retreat was that the Russian
munitions supply was exhausted, but
subsequently it has been asserted that
this shortage has been made good, and
that the Russian troops now have an
abundance Of ammunition. At their
present rate of progress they will have
effected demonstration that will bring
Turkey to a most critical situation with
in a month, and it is inevitable that this
will have vital bearing upon the major
campaign in Europe.

The SioWness of Art.

Washington has had many illustra-
tions of the truth that while life is short
art is long. 1t has seen numerous in
stances of the artistic temperament tax
ing its time in the creation Of monu-
ments and memorials. There was, nota-
bly,, the Washington Monument. but
that was an exceptional case. and not
one that developed from the slowness of
the creative work of single man. In
later years there have been specific cases
Of slow inspiration and execution that
have caused the public to realize the
difference between making a machine
or even building and turning out an
artistic conception to stand for all time
as an expression of some national
thought or memory. Perhaps the most
notable is that of the Grant Memorial,
which has Jagged for several years, with
extension after extension of time, and
without any present assured prospect
that the dedication will be had within
the lifetime of any of the surviving
veterans of the war in which Grant was
the dominant military figure. The other
day Secretary McAdoo asked Congress
to keep alive by extension an approprla-
ton of $4,000 for the cost of the dedi-
cation, which has been awaiting expend-
iture in the Treasury for some time.
Meanwhile the pedestal, in its inappro-
pirate place at the foot of the Capitol
slope, is taking on age, getting fine
tone of years from the already emplaced
bronze on one side and from the gen
eral effect of the weather on the other.
If this memorial improves in quality
with the lapse of time it should be one
of the most strikingly effective works
Of American art ever produced when at
last it is given to public view.
