Mr.. Bryan and Bolting.

Replying to overtures about head
ing a third party, Mr.. Bryan says:
81 am too busy fixing planks fer
the democratic party to think of run
ming for President, and l am doubg
full of third party expediency."
At present Mr. Bryan is taking the
right course. He differs with the ad-
ministration about the league of ma
tions, prohibition, the railroad ques-
tion and probably about some other
questions. But he purposes settling
all differences, if possible, within the
party. Such is his object in attending
the San Francisco convention. He is
"a democrat, the administration is
democratic and they are expected to
pull together in the campaign now
opening.
Mr.. Bryan as bOlter-as the leader,
or simply member, of a new party
would make a shining mark for the
regulars. He would be quotable
against himself at great length. At
one time or another he has paid his
respects to boilers in vigorous fash
ion; and in the campaign of 1896 he
drew heavily on his vocabulary for
excoriation. At that time he applied
the strongest terms he could command
to those democrats who, after making
their fight in convention and losing
repudiated their party's ticket and
platform.
Still, Mr.. Bryan as bolter is not in
conceivable. He might compromise on
the league of nations issue, and even
on the railroad issue. But could he
compromise on prohibitione Could he
accept, and take the stump for, a plat
form leaning in the slightest degree
toward restoration of the drink traf-
fic to power and profits? Could any
juggle of words, however skillfully per-
formed, induce him to support presi-

gress pledged to policy leading

Mr.. Bryan will easily be the most
interesting man at San Francisco, with
row to hoe which will tax all of his
abundant resources

Going After the Oil Frauds.

Federal agents have effected round
up in various cities in this country of
men who have been using the mails to
defraud investors with the sale of sto, K
in oil companies. Indictments have
been returned by the federal grand
jury in New York against four com
panies, ten brokerage houses and
about fifty-one individuals. 1t is al
legged that millions of dollars have
been cleaned up from the public
through these schemes.
Fraudulent oil concerns have always
followed genuine oil Developments.
The profits in these enterprises are so
great, whenever oil is actually struck,
that the temptation to the public to
invest in any attraetively worded
project is strong. In some cases these
schemes are of what is known as the
"near" variety. That is to say, the
"loeation" is near a known oil we'll. 1t
is the same with mines. Where the
project is frankly acknowledged as a
speculation there is no fraud There
can be no comeback on a scheme that
is avowedly founded upon the mere
chance that oil may be struck But
many of the oil schemes that have
been promoted, of the kind that these
indictments now reveal, are out t-and
out frauds in that they all but if they
do not actually claim the presence of
oil and the assured prospect of profits

The President at San Francisco.

The San Francisco convention will
not lack for full and trustworthy in
formation about the Presidents atti-
tude toward the issues which are like
ly to come before it. These men, pos
sessing his confidence and fresh from
consultations with him, will be pres
ent:
Homer Cummings Mr.. Cummings,
ii is understood, was the Presidents
choice for keynoter. Hence his selee-
ton for the place. When. by invita-
ton. Mr. Cummings recently mnched
with the President the whole political
situation was discussed. and the key
note read and approved by the Presi-
dent.
Albert s Burleson. The Postmaster
General has been with the President
since the day the latter entered the
White House. Popular opinion as
signs him the place of the Presidents
closest adviser since the retirement of
Col House. Mr.. Burleson was in con
ference with his chief before leaving
for the convention.
Carter Glass. The junior senator
from Virginia enjoyed the Presidents
confidence while a member of the House,
and since then has received signal
public expression of it. While mem
Der of the cabinet Mr. Glass was con
suited about every important step the
administration took.
Bainbridge Colby Mr. Colby is the
Presidents latest contribution to ma
tional affairs He was selected for the
Office he holds when the President, by
public confession, was searching for
a man in full agreement with him on
public questions, and whose mind
would go along with his own. Before
leaving for the convention Mr.. Colby
spent some time with the President,
and must have gone over with him the
subjects of most consequence sched-
uled for attention at San Francisco.
With these men at hand, and all of
them busy with convention work, dele
gates have only to note their words
and actions to get an accurate line on
where the President stands on any
proposition presented.

The Ballot.
This is a news note :

This is a news note:
"Circulars calling on American work
ers to refrain from participation in
the coming presidential election and
instead join in a general strike came
into the hands of the Department of
Justice officials yesterday. Investi-
CATION was ordered to determine the
origin of the pamphlets, which are
signed by THE American Anarchist
Federated Commune Soviets.'"
The authors of this address and their
associates are confessed enemies of
the United States and its institutions.
They counsel the neglect of the prin-
cipal means under the law-the ballot
for correcting evils that may have
crept into the government, and rec
ommend the strike. Their PROPOSE
tion is, "The ballot be dashed! Throw
everything into confusion, and then
appeal to force"
But what shall be said of men who
neither strike nor use the ballots Who
complain of the conduct of the gov
ernment, and yet neglect the only
lawful means of bringing about i'm
pruvement? Who on election day are
either too busy with their private af-
fairs or unmindful Of public affairs
to go to the polls to votes
Are they not, too, in way, and a
very real way, enemies of the country
and its institutions' Is not the
neglect of such a duty reprehensible
in the highest degrees

Joseph J. Darlington.

Joseph ]. Darlington, for nearly half
q century resident of the District,
and for the greater part of that time
an active member of the bar of this
city, has passed away, highly honored
by his fellow citizens and greatly be-
loved by his many friends. Mr.. Oar
lington came to this city as young
man and made it his home continu-
ously thenceforth. He gained his
legal training here and from the be-
ginning of his professional career COM
manded confidence and respect for his
native ability and his unwavering de-
votion to the highest principles of
conduct and procedure. Assiduous in
his attention to his duties, steadily
broadening in his vision, he reached
in an exceptionally short period a po-
sition of eminenee at the bar, which
was suitably rewarded. Throughout
his life in Washington he has been
a contributor to its welfare. He iden-
titled himself with its activities as far
as his professional responsibilities per-
mitted. His name was synonym for
the highest integrity of purpose and
performance. 1t is grievous misfor-
tune that his health failed at the
period of his life when he was of the
greatest value to his community, and
his death is deplored as heavy loss.
