Austria's Reparation.

Austria finds no comfort in the
peace terms that have been submitted
They are in no degree less onerous
than those presented to Germany. They
provide for reparations, restitutions
and indemnities, for territorial grants
and for very greatly reduced army
under conditions preventing secret ac-
cretions.
One of the most striking features of
the treaty is the requirement that Aus
ria shall restore certain loot taken
from time to time from the lands of
former Austrian occupation, such
things as the Medici crown jewels
stolen from Tuscany, manuscripts from
Naples, an historic gold cup from Po-
land, Del Sarto Madonna from Mode
IA, historical documents and manu-
scripts taken from Prague. The Haps-
burgs were collectors, even as the
Hohenzollerns, and many vacancies oc-
cur in museums and galleries in Eu-
rope in consequence Of the acquisitive-
ness of the former reigning family at
Vienna. These reservations will be
Only a sentimental but nevertheless a
very gratifying feature of the peace
adjustment.

eminent and public opinion. But Mr..
Bryan is native of America, and
has been familiar with free press
from boyhood.
If Mr.. Bryan had never heard of
Thomas Jefferson-one of whose fire.
quently quoted sayings was that if he
had to choose between government
without newspapers or newspapers
without government he would give his
vote for the latter-his notion might
be less astounding. But he is dis
ciple of Jefferson, and has three times
run for President as a Jeffersonian
democrat
How, then, shall this deliverance be
cxplained7 In 1896 large numbers of
democrats refused to support Mr..
Bryan for President, on the score that
he was not democrat, but populist.
In 1908, after he had declared in a
public speech in favor Of government
ownership and operation Of railroads,
many democrats protested, on the score
that he was not democrat, but a
socialist.
How shall he be labeled now? Free
silver and government ownership and
operation of railroads are "mild" by
comparison with government control of

policy would knock democracy, and
very soon the government, where Mr..
Wilson once wanted Mr.. Bryan knock

style in use here. Later the grip was
worked from a compartment in front
of a single car, and the man at the
lever was not exposed to the weather.
Many a sympathetic heart has throb-
bed in sympathy for the poor grip
man in the little forward car, work
ing his mechanism in the freezing
blasts Of winter, from which all pas
sengers had fled to the larger car be-
hind. There was a certain delight,
however, in riding on the grip car"
in mild weather. It was like riding
on locomotive. The familiarity of
front platform riding nowadays, with
the motorman barely able to swing
his controller and brake handles for
abundance of enforced company, is
nothing like the grip-car trips Of
twenty-five or thirty years ago.

Two-Car Trains and Trailers.

The two-car trains that are being
run experimentally on the Capital
T, action line are a reminder of the
old time 'trailer" system that was
until comparatively recent time in
operation here. But the "trailer" of
oil was usually a small ear, less COM
m odious, and "worked" by the same
ct nductor as the forward car. It was
the assignment Of two cars to one con-
lctor that caused the trailer to be
discarded. The "train" could not be
safely operated. When the pay-as-you-
enter system was locally adopted the
trailer became impossible short Of two
conductors. The present two-car train
IS manned by three operatives, mo-
torman and two conductors. Each of
the latter cares for his own car.
Mention of trailers brings back to
mind the two-car trains of the cable
roads, with the "gripman' in small
open car in front. That was the first

Actually more serious as an offense,

attack committed on the 9Th of July
upon a boatload of enlisted men from
an American cruiser in the Tamesi

Mr.. Bryan on the Press.
This is from Portland, Ore:


newspapers controlled by the ma
tional government viii be the ultimate
goal of journalism, in the belief of
William Jennings Bryan. Bryan made
this prediction in an address before
the Portland Press Club. The day of
the partisan newspaper is waning,'
said Bryan. Some day all news will
be issued through government chan
nels, and will have the approval of the
proper authorities before it is printed
He said he favors the idea of govern
ment newspapers, provided they give
impartially the news of each political
party
If Mr.. Bryan were humorist, or in
dulged now and then in bit of droll-
cry. this might be accepted as a speci-
men of his quality. But he is not a
humorist, nor is he given to POPULARITY
in public addresses. Indeed, it has some
times been said of him that he would
be rounder and more attractive man

llghtened by occasional flashes of ge-
mainly tudt he Is TOO mucn tne neaFy
tragedan at all times on all subjects.
Ii Mr.. Bryan had no personal knowl-
c.ige or experience of journalism, this
might pass for a fling inspired by
mere hearsay and prejudice founded
on igr ORANGE. But Mr. Bryan is him
self journalist. He is one of the
guild-a member Of the tribe. He has
contributed to the daily press, and is
he editor and proprietor of monthly

A Rugged Ideal.

In every age and every cline beneath
this mundane sky,
Some one must take his pen in hand
to sing of days gone by.
On other times and manners it is we'll
to think-and SO
Well sing of days when politicians let
their whiskers grow.
Oh, those were days when eloquence
our sympathy could win,
And few attempted speech with an
undecorated chin.
Oh, those were times when men were
built for work and not for show,
The days when politicians used to let
their whiskers grow.
TITS true the bushes offered scant at
traction to the eye.
Sometimes they hid a neck that lacked
collar and tie.
But native gifts were more than art
could possibly bestow
In days when politicians used to let
their whiskers grow.
Perhaps they singed them in the flame
where burned the midnight oil.
They did not hesitate at risk involved
in midnight toll.
They worked while others shaved. And
there were giants long ago
In days when politicians used to let
their whiskers grow.

A Disgrace to Washington.

Rioting in the streets of Washing
ton is so unusual spectacle as to
shock the community seriously. And
particularly serious is the present oc-
casion with a high tension of race
feeling fomented by the recent assaults
upon women. For two nights disorders
have occurred in such degree that the
police have been almost helpless. 1t
is extraordinary that people have not
been killed. Many injuries have been
inflicted, many wholly innocent peo-
pie have been maltreated and the law
has been set at defiance.
An especially lamentable feature of
this series of disorders is that in prac
tically every instance military or naval
service men have been foremost in the
fighting. With disgraceful disregard
for the obligations which go with the
wearing of the uniform of the United
States these men have taken the lead
in rioting and assaults, melting civil
ians to follow their example.
On the 18th of June, as an incident
to rehabilitation, the provost guard
which had been maintained in Wash
by orders from the War Department,
against the wishes of local authorities,
who racnnni7aI he mood of
such restraining influence upon the
service men in the capital, The bad
effect of this removal rof the guard
has been felt during the last two
nights. The average service man has
little respect for civilian policeman
and only provost guard is capable
of keeping order. The immediate re-
establishment of the provost guard is
demanded in the interest of the peace
of Washington.
Cancellation of "liberty" for all men
attached to the various military and
naval stations near Washington should
be ordered, certainly the freedom of
the streets of the capital should be
denied these men after dark, for such
time as may be necessary to restore
order. This is drastic measure, but
the conduct of men in uniform dur
ing the past two nights has been such
as to warrant it.
All law-abiding citizens should keep
off the streets at night in the places
where rioting has lately occurred.
Much harm is done by the assembling
of curiosity seekers, persons attracted
to the streets in anticipation Of disor-
der. The presence of thousands of on
lockers impedes the work of the po-
lice in case of trouble and exposes
many to injury if shots are fired.
These riots are not an entertainment.
They should be regarded as lamenta-
BILE disgrace upon the city, and every
one participating in them as a law
breaker contributing to disaster.
