Bryan and the Administration.

Mr Bryan is again demonstrating his demo-
cratic regularity" by doing ell he can to add
to the embarrassment OF the administration at
a most critical time His present course shows
more plainly than ever his utter inability to
follow any leader. no matter how serious the
situation. He must impress his personal views
on every act Of the party, in or out OF power
else he will be aligned with the opposition. The
armed ship, which is really the submarine Ques-
ton in another form, has served one purpose
Mr.. Bryans secret hostility TO Mr.. Wilson Is
now open. The presidents weakness was
shown in his not accepting the chance he had
in the senate. instead Of allowing an act OF
avoidance TO prevail. By permitting the Gore
resolution TO be tabled. the president allowed
the fight to be transferred to the house where
Bryan is even more influential. No matter
what action is taken there, the great com
moner" is looming up bigger than ever in his
party. and II Mr. Wilson runs a second time It
will be on terms satisfactory to Bryan.

A New SECRETARY Of War.

Word comes from Washington that Mr..
Wilson has chosen for successor to Mr.. CARR
the late mayor OF Cleveland Newton C..
Baker, who achieved something OF public at
tention as city solicitor under the late Tom"
Johnson As mayor Of Cleveland, Mr.. Baker
lie reported to have been quite popular. and to
have had much success in his management Of
the affairs OF the growing sixth city" He
has also had experience that gives him some
knowledge OF the workings Of the cabinet, hav-
ing been private secretary to Postmaster Gen
eral Wilson, under Cleveland's second admin
istration. That the choice announced by
the president with the approval OF Colonel
House may be taken as indicating that Mr.
Baker Is politically satisfactory to the ad-
ministration His Ohio connections ought TO
be Of service to the president, who is likely TO
yet need all the help he can get from his own
party.

UNIVERSITY PLACE. Neb.. March 6.
TO the Editor Of The Bee The effort
OF II. c. Carson ct al. to force Mayor
Aadgett Of Hastings out of the Euber-
Material race should be resented by every
man who has any regard for a square
Deal and by all who are opposed to doubl ,
dealing. wire pulling, bluffing and intim-
tdating methods in politics
II was all right that an effort should
be made TO center the dry vote on one
candidate. But when four men set them
selves UP as the infalllble power from
on high to say who the voters Of this
state shall support they are biting off
a whole lot more than they can com
fortably masticate.
Mr.. Carson questions MadEett's ability
and attempts TO belittle his Campaign eff
forts. ! would like to ask Mr.. Carson
where there is a man In this state who
has shown greater business ability or
dealt more squarely with the people while
In office than William Madsett? 1t 10
true that Mr., Msdgett is not an orator.
But we do not need oratory in the gov
ernors chair. What we want is results.
And n we get an administration at the
state house such as Mayor Madgett has
given the city OF Hastings. the Taxpayers
and the law-abiding citizens OF this state
will have no complaint to make.

WOMAN LOOSE IN ARGUMENT
II 10 Difficult for Her to Concentrate
j on Central Idea, According
to Writer.

The woman, as a rule, finds it diff
cult to retain q grasp upon a central
idea, to clear away the side issues
which obscure 1t. She can seldom
carry an idea to its logical conclusion,
passing from term to term; some
where there is solution of continuity,
w. L. George writes in the Atlantic.
For this reason arguments with wom-
en-, which have begun with the latest
musical play, easily pass on from its
alleged artistic merit to its costumes,
their scantiness, their undesirable
scantiness, the need for inspection, in
spectors Of theaters, and, little by
little, other inspectors until one gets
to mining inspectors and possibly to
mining in general.
The reader will observe that these
ideas are fairly well linked. All that
happens Is that the woman, firing Of
the central argument, has pursued each
side issue as it offered itself. This
comes from a lack of concentration
which indisposes woman to pene-
trate deeply into subject; she is not
used to concentration. she does not
like it. II might lead her to dis
agreeable discoveries.

HOTEL ATOP GRANITE HILLS
New caravansary Has Been Estab-
Iished on the Most-Loved Peak Of
White Mountains.

Half century ago Starr King
pointed out that Mount Chocorua was
the only mountain in the White hills
OF New Hampshire that is crowned
with a legend. II thoroughly we'll
intentioned but as II seems to some
at least misdirected ambition is real
lied, that crown will soon be dis
placed by a mere democratic institu-
ton in the shape Of house Of public
entertainment, the Boston Evening
Transcript states. The recent Sep
TENDER gale swept away the little inn
that for twenty years or SO had stood
atop the southern shoulder of the
mountain, at the foot Of the towering
cone. That house, though never an
adornment to the mountain landscape,
was ever dear to oil who climbed the
peak, because of the whole-hearted
type of unpretending hospitality dis
pensed by it's veteran boriface. A
more aspiring successor, With the in
domitable energy Of thorough noun
'taineer. has laid his plans to build
upon the topmost rocks OF the peak
itself where the house may shout its
presence to the world at large.
1t Is safe to say that Chocorua is to
day the most-loved peak of all the
Granite hills, admired by every be-
holder for the unique and striking
beauty of its form, and delighted in
by old and young who enjoy the mild
ly adventurous mountaineering all
its crags afford. Notwithstanding all
their harshness, the elements in all
the ages have never marred the
beauty Of the mountain, but man, in
spite Of good intentions, has In few
years time brought devastation to its
forests and all but sQualor to its most
sacred places. And now the chief
taiu's curse bids fair to become some
what less poetic and more tangible
than crowpino legend.

CAN GROW BULBS IN ROOMS
Prepared Fiber Enables Flat Dwellers
TO Have Choice Flowers at
Their Pleasure.

Lovers Of flowers who live in flats.
apartment or uptown houses where
there are no yards for bulb planting,
can have their plants In their rooms.
The wizards Of the flower world have
discovered that the rarest bulbs, as
well as the common ones. grow their
best in prepared fiber. This is fer
tilted and is cheap. Bulbs can be
planted in this fiber in vases and
bowls. The fiber is dampened from
time to time and nature does the
rest.
In the last 90 years bulbs have never
been as cheap as they now are, nor
has the American market been sup
piled with better quality than can
be bought this season. the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal observes. y
Holland. the greatest bulb produc-
Ing country of the world, is neu-
trail nation, but the countries engaged
in war have no time to think of flow
ers. In years of peace England, France
and Germany were great patrons Of
the bulb market. They had the first
choice OF the select bulbs. Today
these markets practically are closed.
The Holland bulb growers look to this
country to buy their output and for
this reason are offering the choicest
bulbs at prices SO. cheap that bulb
planting is placed in easy reach of
nearly every person.
It is to the thoughtful lover Of flow
ers Of the early spring that the pres
emit cheapness of bulbs will appeal.
Once planted in tho open air. the
bulbs will bloom patiently for years
and years. They never die naturally.
and will yield their fragrant harvest
each spring.

Eyes, for sure, all right" the Japa-
nese chauffeur answered.
They went humping up the street,
swung wildly round corner, and
finally at the far side of the town drew
up to the curbing. In the window Of
the store was bedstead on which
hung the sign, This week cheap"

could, and drew up before store that
as an afterthought apparently carried

Tardy Justice to stuyvesandt.

The official representative of the
Netherlands at the unwilling of a
statue of "Petrus Stuyvesandt, the last
and best of the governors of New
Amsterdam" presented to the people
of the city Of New York by the Dutch
government, frankly admitted that
this colonial administrator did not re-
ceive proper support from the foreign
office when he was In power. In this
and in other ways contemporary Hol.
land has tried to show to descend
ants of the men and women who
founded and built up New Amster-
dam that the former estimate of Stuy-
vesandt is not held; that he was not
responsible for the surrender to the
English; and that, 1t is time to do
Justice to his merits as a man Of
force and insight. Thus does time
rectify injustice done, give. II but years
enough! It may be doubted now
whether Washington Irving painted
the portrait OF this administrator
fairly.
