The Bryan Program.

Mr.. Bryan's program for reorganlz
ing the democratic party has the
merit of frankness and consistency
That is to say, it shows its author
in the guise in which the country has
come to know him.
He is for peace-by arbitration, dis
armament, referendum, and all the
rest of it. He would make the trea-
ties he negotiated while Secretary OF
State the basis of action.
He is for the ratification of treaty
by a majority rather than by two
thirds vote of the Senate. He wanted
the democrats of the Senate to ac-
cept the Lodge reservations to the
treaty Of Versailles because ma
jority of the Senate had declared for
them.
He is for a rigid enforcement of
the eighteenth amendment. There is
no compromise in him on prohibition.
He wants bank deposits in both ma.
tional and state institutions guaran-
teed.
He favors single term in the
presidency-a term Of six years.
He does not mention either coinage.
or a tariff for revenue only. He may
have overlooked them, or decided
against their importance at this time.
These are a few of the twenty-five
planks of the platform Mr.. Bryan
offers. The platform is long. and in
part without the merit of vigorous
challenge. But it contains good
deal of challenge: and there are demo
Gratis as well as republicans who may,
and will, find in it something to set,
and keep, them thinking.
For a man three times defeated for
the country's greatest prize. Mr..
Bryan keeps up his interest in politics
amazingly well, and evidently intends
to apply his best powers to the game
during the coming three years.

"Hero" Howat.

Alexander Howat, president of Dis
trict IA, United Mine Workers of
America, and five members of the
executive board were sentenced to
one year in Jail yesterday at Pitts
burg, Kan, for violation Of an in
junction issued last fall prohibiting
the union officials from calling a strike
in the coal fields of Kansas. This
injunction was issued under the Kan
sas industrial law. In disregard of
it strike order was issued to the
miners of one of the companies and
yesterdays proceedings were the con-
clusion Of the court case against
Howat and his associates. They have
made a motion for a new trial, which
was overruled, and have filed an ap-
peal, securing their release mean
while.
Howat has been a storm center for
some time in Kansas. He was ar
rested once before on a charge Of
violating the state law, and a crowd
''serenaded" him in the Jail in which
he was confined, and he was allowed
by the sheriff to go out on the Jail
balcony and deliver an address of re-
sponse. For this the sheriff was Sc
verely criticised.
Howat is hero in the eyes Of the
miners Of Kansas and their sympa-
thizers. He has defied the state in
dustrial law and the industrial court
organized under it. His prosecution
denounced as persecution" by his
followers-has put him in the class
with Eugene Debs and probably has
given him a political status. His ap-
peal will keep the case alive and prob
ably it will be a long time before he
actually serves his term. if ever.

Income Tax Popular.

An almost overwhelming sentiment
In this country in favor of the income
tax as one of the sources of federal
revenue is indicated In the answers
to a series OF questions submitted to
the national council Of the National
Economic League, in the form Of q
QUESTIONABLE. Somewhat less than
10 per cent Of the $50 members who
answered the questions were recorded
in opposition to the federal tax on in
about half and half between those
who would retain and those who
would change the present minima Of
taxable incomes, and OF those who
favored a change two-thirds are re-
corded as favoring lowering OF the
financial status of the answering
members, the vote went against the
present surtax on incomes above
$4,000, and a large majority favored
a reduction in the surtax. The ex-
cess profits tax is about as unpopular
as the income tax is popular with the
council. Tho vote stood 130 yes to
3s8 no on the question OF retaining
that method Of raising revenue. but
that vote was almost exactly reversed
on the question of retaining the fed
eral inheritance tax. Tho proposal to
tax the site value OF land, that is the
portion OF the value duo to the pres
ence and activities of the commu-
nifty and to natural Advantages. min

McAdoo on Mexico,

Former Secretary MoAdoo has Just
returned from a visit to Mexico City.
While there he met President Obre-
gon. who impressed him "a q capa-
bls man of affairs. and for whom he
predicts success in once. He reports
Mexico as in better condition general.
ly than at any time since the over
throw OF Diaz.
In the interview Mr.. McAdoo says.
Mexico is country OF vast unde-
Veloped natural resources, She Is alb
solutsly dependent on foreign capital
for their development, which is essen
her people. The only available mar
ket for capital and credit 10 the Unit ed
States. Mexican statesmen must,
therefore, sec that tho true interests 8
Of Mexico are friendship and good un-
derstanding with the United States.
arisen between the two countries over
American rights in Mexico must be
promptly and satisfactorily adjusted
so that American capital will be as
sured the safety and protection which
will induce it to engage in a large
way in Mexican enterprises. OF
course, rehabilitation of Mexico's
credit is vital. This cannot be ac-
complishsd until there is prompt rec
osnition and adjustment of Mexico'a
International obligations"
American capital has always re,
sponded when invited into Mexico and
assured Of safety. And it has had
much to do with the development
which has taken place in that country
in the past forty years, and which
was fast putting the country perma
nently on Easy street when the check
of the revolution occurred.
As Mr.. McAdoo suggests the United
States is Mexico's only hope. Eu.
rope is struggling with local condi.
tions worse than those affecting our
southera nsighbor, and not only has
no capital to spare for outside In.

Fighting for "Feminism."

A convention is being held in this
city by the Woman's National Party.
which during the fight for suffrage
held a brief for militancy. This
was the organization that promoted
the picketing and parading and Jail
martyrdom in behalf of the suffrage
movement. Now that the amend
ment is ratified the party comes to
the point of new decision. What
is it to do? What is it to stand for?
For what is it to fight?
Those questions are now being con-
sidered and they will be debated in
the convention, probably with all the
fearless frankness and the vigor that
the members of the organization dis
played in their long propa ganda of
publicity and agitation. 1t is sug-
gested that the party now fight for
"feminism.'' 1t would be a mistake
for it to Identify itself with one or
the other of the major parties. If
it is to exercise any. influence at all
it should be in an Independent po-
sition. 1t should fight for principles
rather than for partisanship or party
candidates.
"Feminism" has broad meaning.
1t includes the admission of women
to every activity. In this particular
connection it means the fullest pos
sible participation Of women in po-
litical and administrative affairs.
Some advocates urge that the women
demand a fifty-ffty division Of all
offices. Particular mention is made
just now of judgeships.
One speaker at the convention has
declared that the women do not want
an unfair degree Of protection in the
law. At present in most states the
husbands are responsible for the debts
Of their wives, while wives are not
responsible for those Of their hus.
bands. This is regarded as discrimi.
nation and one Of the avowed pur-
poses Of the new party may be to
wipe from the statute books all such
laws. in order to put men and women
on precisely the same basis.
These matters adjust themselves
and probably more correctly by nat.
ural process than by intensive ag!ta.
ton. A vigorous minority may sc.
cure enactmsnts that will greatly dis.
tress the majority who take less in.
terest in politics. 1t Is evident that
II the women Of the United States are
to protect themselves either from too
much 'feminism" or from too much
"masculinism" they must be just as
busy and active in politics as the men.
even though they do not follow the
precepts Of militancy.

Cabinet Appointments.

There is some criticism of Mr.. Hard
ing-a little mild and veiled-growing
out Of speculation about the cabinet
What claims, it is asked, has Mr..
Daugherty, or Mr.. Hays, or Mr.. Weeks
on attention as cabinet quantities but
that associated with service in, con.
nection with either the nomination
or election of Mr.. Harding, or both:
Why should he pay his debts with
places Of so much consequence?
For argument sake, let it go at that
Let the party prominence of the three
men mentioned be put aside, and their
cases considered only on the basis OF
the capacity they showed and the as.
sistance they rendered in last years
campaign. If Mr.. Harding calls them
to the cabinet table. will he be guilty
Of any unusual or unconventional
thing?
Daniel Manning and w. c. Whitney
were foremost among the men who
put Mr.. Cleveland over in New York
in 1884. and he called both to his cabi,
net table
James G. Blaine was a strong in.
fluence m the nomination and election

and the African cases and some dif

ferences.
It has been impossible thus far to
trace the lines Of contagion in these
American cases. There has been nc
known exposure" leading from case
to case. The disease seems almost
sporadic, indeed, and IL thus difficult
to treat on the community health
basis. The high percentage OF deaths
makes it q menacs, however. and ply
sicians and health officers are dis
tressed at the prevalence, and are
only consoled by the fact that here
tofore this particular ailment has
waned after the passing Of cold
weather. It seems to be particularly
q winter disease.
The theory has been advanced that
it is a belated aftermath Of the in
fluenza. That terrible disease swept
this country in 1888, and was
slightly prevalent a year following.
Sleeping sickness has only lately de-
veloped on a large scale. If there is
a connection between it and influenza
it is very peculiar manifestation.
The direct inference is that this zen.
cephalitis lethargica," which is the
scientific name, is due to a degenera-
ton of certain of the tissues or organs
OF the body induced by the influenza
infection and slow Of development. 1t
would be alarming, indeed, to feel that
those who suffered from influenza two
years ago and apparently regained
their health are now subject to an
insidious breakdown. The hope is that
science will solve the mystery of the
nature of this disease and will there
by gain ground toward its cure.
