have troubles enough of his own, pro-
jects himself into the teapot tempest
by declaring that Mr.. Cummings
acted with perfect propriety." and
that he himself, though a prohibition
ist, would, il he were national chair
man, have done the same Such an
.utterance coming at such a time from
so staunch an old friend recalls the
pathos of Julius Caesars dying words
and is strongly favored with indis-
.cretion besides. Josephus made the
dem ocratic party-and the navy-dry
on water even before Mr.. Bryan made
it dry on land, but he, too. may now
expect to fall victim of Mr.. Bryans
mad passion for reading more demo-
Gratis out of the democratic party. He
will have to go along with the buns
whose passing the Great Commoner
gloated over at the recent Jackson
Day banquet, and whose drunken
habits at democratic dinners in the
old days of unregeneracy he so feel
ingly referred to.
We had thought the silly season
was only approaching. But it seems
alas and alack, to be already upon us.
Not the Slightest Danger
There is no more danger of Gov
ernor Edwards being nominated for
president at the San Francisco con-
vention than there is that John D.
Rockefeller or Eugene Debs will be
nominated. as Mr.. Bryan well knows,
But he has been elected democratic
governor of a great state, and aside
from his stupendous wet" heresy he
seems to be a very presentable sort
Of man. And he didn't pussyfoot
He didn't play double. He told the
democrats exactly where he stood on
the prohibition question before they
nominated him, and continued to
proclaim it to all the people of the
state, with considerable emphasis,
until they elected him. Josephus
Daniels says that "at least 80 per
cent of his platform" is excellent and
thoroughly democratic. Shall men
who are nine-tenths pure be forcibly
elected from the party of jefferson
and Jackson and free speech because
the other one-tenth is questionable
Must all measure up to the standard
Of Ivory Soap? If so, how many are
going TO be left TO do the democratic
voting in the sweet bye and bye?
Meanwhile we can't help wonder
ing what offense, not yet revealed, II
is 4 at Chairman Cummings has COM
mitted to make him a target for Mr..
Bryan's ire. We had come to enter
tain a hearty respect for the Connecti-
cut leader. He seems to be well
above the average Of the modern
politician-a clean-cut man Of culture
and vision and ideals, al once a schol-
has held the democratic organization
up to plane worthy Of the great and
pure statesman I'm the White house
Can it be he has done something
really reprehensible which Mr.. Bryan,
in the kindness Of his generous old
heart, does not wish to mention? Or

GUILTY, PETERS
TELLS RECORDER
Fine To Be Fixed on a
Charge of Disorderly
Conduct

A plea of guilty was entered in
Recorders Court this morning by
Robert PeUers, carpenter, who Sat
urday afternoon shot and slightly
wounded his friend, M. C. Macarthur,
an auto mechanic employed at Hooks
garage, when he was arraigned on a
charge of being disorderly and fight
ing. Recorder Fort announced that
he would take the case under advise
ment and fix the amount of fine
later. None of the details of the en-
counter between the two men, which
took place in Saliba's lunch stand ad-
joining the Hooks Motor Company's
place of business, came out in court.
Mr. Peters is under three state
charges in connection with the shoot
ing, warrants having been taken out
Saturday by Mr. Macarthur after he
had been told that Mr.. Peters had
stated that he shot because of re-
mark Macarthur had made over the
telephone to his daughter Mr.. Nc
Arthur told friends that he had not
intended to make a case against Mr..
Peters until then, but that the latter
would have to prove his accusation in
regard to the telephone conversation
IN court. Mr.. Peters waived hearing
and gave bond of $40O in three
charges.

Jersey Dairy Herd
Passes Health Test

Government veterinarians recently
tested the thirty Jersey cows on the
farm of Gus Anderson, proprietor of
Pines Dairy, and found all of them in
good condition, giving to each a per-
feet bill of health. The tests were
made March 25 and &c. Mr.. Ander-
son is much gratified that his entire
herd passed inspection so creditably.
Government statistics show that
so per cent of all cases of tubercu-
losis originate from drinking milk
from infected cows" Mr.. Anderson
said Monday. "It is most gratifying
to me to know that those using milk
from my herd are not running any
risk in contracting this dreaded dis
ease"

Woman Accused Of
Conducting Real Bar

Lula Wilson, colored, has been
conducting a fairly good substitute
for the old fashioned bar at her home
on North Jackson street, according
to Police Officers Lee and Worthy,
who arrested her last evening on a
charge of selling liquor. Only a
small amount of contraband whisky
was found, but they declared there
were evidences, such as empty con-
tainers, which told of business on a
large scale having been transacted
there. She was turned over to Sheriff
Harvey on state charge and lock I'd
