Mark Twain meeting the man who

AS a matter of fact, the man was
extremely proud of the dog because 1t

Twain, however, studiously avoided
looking at it.
Somebody asked him why he acted
as if he didn't see the dog.
Because" replied Twain, II was
afraid the owner might be sensitive

Nebraska.

The political situation in Nebraska
grows In interest. Charles w Bryan,
brother Of William ]. Bryan, is q can
didate for the democratic nomination
for governor. Ignatius J. Dunn, one Of
William j. Bryan's lieutenants, is q can
didate for the democratic nomination
for United States senator. Both de-
clare for Mr.. Wilson's denomination, but
against his policy Of preparedness.
The principal strength these two men
have comes from their relations with
William j. Bryan. The case probably
may be stated in terms Of highsr com.
pliment to their leader. They would
have no strength in the contest at all
except for those relations.

cause Of his brother, and in an open
letter announced q stumping tour. In

Representative Pages Retirement.

1t is unfortunate that Representative
Robert N Page of North Carolina finds
himself in such a situation with re-
spect to pending international issues
that he deems it imperative to retire
from public life. Mr.. Page has proved
himself most valuable member of the
House, applying himself assiduously to
it's work, sparing himself in no degree
in the effort to become acquainted with
details and to reach the most practical
and constructive results. The District
knows we'll the interest he has shown
in local legislation in his capacity as
a member of the House committee on
appropriations charged with the duty of
preparing the District bill. Though not
at all points in full accord with Mr..
Page on the question of the treatment
of the District, the people of Washing
ton recognize that he is earnestly striv-
ing for what he conceives to be its best
interests, and they will regret his de-
parture from Congress, if he persists in
his present intention 1t is to be hoped
that he will reconsider his decision after
the immediate issues have been adjusted
which cause him to feel for the moment
out of harmony with his party.

spread of molasses if thick will defeat
the aim.
The original calculation of the Roose-
Welt men was to stampede the conven-
ton in its early stages; start some
thing" in a whirling way, and make
their hero the beneficiary of it. But
they proclaimed their purpose too open
~, and thus put the opposition on its
guard. An early stampede is regarded
now as impossible.
The present hope is Of long siege,
with wranglings galore, both in commit
tees and the open convention Then,
after a few days Of turbulence, with
some disgust and chat tired feeling"
operating, a stentorian shout, 1--WE want
Teddy" can, it is argued, be raised
with effect, and the nomination landed.
But this plan is becoming as well
known as the other; and all contin-
gencies are being taken into account by
those who want a republican nominated
and a republican platform adopted ap-
pealing to all shades of real republic
can opinion. If stampede in any
body's behalf "gets by" the perform
ance will be at the expense OF very
carefully laid plans to prevent de-
cision reached in any such way.

Newton D. Baker.

As respects the new Secretary of War
the principal consideration is that he
classes as a thorough Wilson MAN. He
was so strongly in favor of Mr.. Wilson
at Baltimore he antagonized his home
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton. That he is still one of the most
devoted of Wilson men is evidenced by
his acceptance of a seat at the cabinet
table. By that act he has subscribed
to the whole Wilson record made in the
White House. And that, of course, car
ries with it an Endorsement of Mr.. Will
sons desire for second term.
Mr. Baker enters the War Depart
ment too late to be factor in the con-
tentions about the army. Not only is
he unfamiliar with the subject, but the
case is made up so far as the admins
tration is concerned When Mr.. Gar
rison retired, Mr. Wilson became the
undisputed master of the field. The
cabinet stands with him; and naturally
d
will stand with his fellows. Whatever
Mr.. Wilson may say about the army
whether in support of his present judg-
ment, or of change of judgment that
may take place-will "go" with all of
his official advisers.
What counts particularly is that the
President has secured in Mr.. Baker
what he was first Of all seeking-a law
yer of high standing. capable of han
ding the many legal problems that are
coming in numbers these days before
the War Department. And he gets q
man in vigorous middle life-a young
man for action.
Whether the President has strength
ened himself politically by this appoint
ment is a question. He is entering a
campaign crowded with difficulties and
darkened with uncertainties. He will
need all the strength he can command

Of strong and attractive men aspire to
the presidency, and their friends will
press their claims with the more en-
orgy because Of the popular belief in
the party that this Is republican year.
As they see matters, the nomination at
Chicago, if made with due considera-
tion for all interests involved, will be
equivalent to election. Hence, when the
. balloting begins maneuverings will be
on large scale and require time for
execution. Many things may be done
in a corner, but not many in hurry.

The Strike Settlement.

More quickly than early yesterday
afternoon seemed possible has come the
rational solution of the street railway
problem in this city. As result of the
persistent and skillful intervention of
the District Commissioners the striking
car men and the companies were brought
to the point of a tentative agreement
which permits the immediate resumption
of full service pending an adjustment
of the differences. The principle of ar
bitration has been established, and
Washington is spared the distressing ex-
perience of a protracted tie-up of the
ear lines, with the menace of violence
that invariably accompanies such con-
fiiets between workers and employers.
In this experience Washington has
been more fortunate than most other
cities where issues have arisen between
the street car companies and their men.
Damage to the amount of millions has
been done in the course of the street
railway strikes in American cities. with
the public, not directly party to the
quarrels, but in fact the chief factor in
any such matter, the main sufferer.
Workers have lost untold sums in
wages and companies have suffered seri-
GUS losses in earnings. In almost every
case the results have been in the way
of compromise. Neither side has ever
won a clear-cut victory. The adjust
ment has been nearly invariably on the
basis of compromise, and the wonder
has always been that the compromise
did not come first.
1t would have been much better if
here the compromise had come at the
outset, preventing even the brief traffic
interruption 1t is unfortunate that
Washington has had to experience the
anxieties and the discomfort of two
day strike in order to work out an adj
justment that might just as we'll have
been gained without any disruption of
traffic. Yet so quickly has reason pre-
vailed, SO effective have been the moves
for arbitration, in comparison with the
experiences elsewhere, that the capital
il justified in congratulating itself upon
its happy issue out of the affection of
. strike that might easily have wrought
. grave disturbance and led to serious
complications.
The thanks of the District are due to
the Commissioners, who SO promptly and
effectively acted in this emergency.
They are also to be congratulated upon
the success which has attended their in
PREVENTION. The car men and the COM
panies have also shown a most praise
worthy spirit Of adjustment to the end
of preventing protracted struggle. Now
the hope is high that the arbitration,
about to be undertaken, will be quickly
carried through to the point Of working
out wage scale and time schedule that
will be fair alike for the companies and
the workers.

Will it not increase his Importance at
the st. Louis conventionf He is de-
sirous of heading the Nebraska delega-
ton to that body; and if he does, after
triumph at home on a declaration
against preparedness, will he not be
strengthened as the national leader OF
the millennialistsf
On the other hand, let us suppose the
result anti Bryan. Let us suppose the
Nebraska democracy rejecting Mr..
Bryan's advice both as to local candi-
dates and the national issue of pre-
paredness. Will not that operate against
Mr. Bryan both at home and at st.
Louisf Will not the result, indeed,
be accepted as first blood for the Presi-
dent in the duel between him and Mr..
Bryan on the preparedness issues
The millennialists throughout the
country are counting heavily on Mr..
Bryan. He is their leader, and their
leading inspiration in Congress. At st.
Louis, if he appears in form and flushed
with victory at home, they will fall in
behind him with all the power and en-
ergy they possess. He, in turn, is in
spired by them, knows their hopes and
expectations, and will work the harder
because of that knowledge to win in the
Nebraska primaries.
Considered in this light, the Nebraska
contest, which will be decided in April,
possesses national interest, and will be
followed closely from the day Mr.. Bryan
makes his first speech. He is the issue.
