The Poker Face

The other day delegate in convention
and offered what really an important motion.
1t was carefully worded, not quite to conceal
its import, for that could not be done But it was
so skifully prepared that it calculated not to
favor of the proposition it involved There was
son to believe that the motion would be adopted,
largely because it supposed that majority of
the delegates favored the proposition.
Put in a slightly different way. that is, In
more casual way perhaps it would have gone through
But the proponent lacked the poker face Of casual
ness There was something dramatic; there too
much mpressveness of language; there the light
of anticipated victory. And all this aroused sus-
pcion first then antagonism and defeat unexpected
and overwhelming followed
When group of expert players seated about

One of the most skillful players in political con-
ventions was Matthew Stanley Quay. He was. in
the first place, no bunger in the work Of prepara
ton for the game. In the game itself he left as
as possible of the actual open playing to trusted
lieutenants keeping himself the background except
when exigencies called him out And then he was
the most casual of men, did as little as possible to
alarm or even to awaken antagonists. He fought
only when fight unavoidable and then he
fought however bitterly, with surprising GOODNESS;
still there was an air of easualness about him, but
no lack of effectivness.

Government by oratory

We noticed in an exchange the other day that
Kentucky has law against the teaching of evolu
ton in the schools that state. That Is
we recently learned from Judge Watson, a delegate
from Kentucky to the good roads convention. Such
a law was proposed and had the strong backing of
William j. Bryan, who is engaged in general fight
against the doctrine of evolution. But the bill
defeated by single vote. So that while it was at
first regarded throughout the country joke,
though defeated it is very serious matter in that
the treatment of it disclosed amazing narrowness,
ignorance and bigotry in a sovereign state
The more we encourage government by speech
making the more we give up rights and privileges
as citizens Utterly irresponsible legislators nomi-
mated and elected by grown-up children, and
curious group of leaders who constantly engaged
in doing battle against intelligence, propose measures
that take from us what we hold most precious: our
liberty OF thought and speech.
This kentucky incident and or less general
movement in the churches to "get back to first prn
cipes" have afforded Mr.. Bryan material for a new
lecture and he making profitable journey through
the country appealing to the ignorant to deny the
right of freedom the matter of the study and teach
ing of geology biology comparative anatomy, anthro
poIogy and the whole gamut of science wherever it
appears conflict with the exact letter of the first
chapter of Genesis. The reason for this is that it
does not accord with the bias of limited number of
persons in regard to what they think is religious
teaching but which is not religion at all.
The anti-evolution propaganda is no less than an
effort forbid all teaching that is not approved by
a board of ecclesiastical censors drawn from the
most ignorant. objection to these amazing restric
tions on freedom of thought is among
lightened churchmen of all denominations as it is
among men of science.
We listen good -humored1y to the crusaders of
ignorance who develop such following that
enough will be created to intimdate the weak
lings whom elect to legislative offices. and the
first thing we know they have yielded to noisy
minority and another right privilege is withdrawn

Conscientious Periurers

We have received from reader Glendale
communication commenting upon address by At
torney General GaIbrath and editorial in this
paper on the failure of juries to convict persons
plainly guilty of homicide.
In my humble opinion" says the writer "the
editorial has omitted one of the greatest causes of
punishment of crime. Unfortunately for of
laws there too many conscientious and
in Arizona who do not want to hide behind
the law and give their assent to judicial murder
We had all that in mind but did not think it
was necessary differentiate those conscientious"
men and women from jurors generally who disregard
the oath by which they finally qualify for the jury box
It might be supposed that men and women who
too conscientious assent to judicial murder would
be too conscientious to commit perjury to secure
admission to a jury which sits in murder trial.
Every man and women selected for such jury states
under oath that he she is not averse to finding,
if the evidence warrants it. verdict carrying the
death penalty.
But have known many such conscientious
lie deliberately under oath and conceal
their sntipathy capital punishment in order that
they may defeat the very law which they have

LINCOLN, Neb., April 15.-William
Jennings Bryan today issued public
statement denying that he had au-

been interpreted as supporting Joe
Cannon for the presidency on the
Democratic ticket.

EX- PRESIDENT WILSON'S
DENIAL

Joseph Tumulty will have to take
steps at once to discipline Woodrow
Wilson.
whatza matter? Hasn't the ex-
President read his secretary's recent
memoirs? Doesn't he know yet who's
boss around the Democratic plant?
Gosh! Here's Mr.. Wilson coming
out and daring to say he doesn't al
ways say whatever Mr.. Tumulty says
he says, and saying that in a recent
case, specifically, he didn't say it.
A statement purporting to have
been sent to the dinner by the eX-
President through Mr.. Tumulty was
read at the Jefferson Day dinner to
Governor Cox, as follows
Say to the Democrats of New
York that / am ready to support
any man who stands for the sal
walton of America, and the sal
walton of America is justice to all
classes"
Now Mr.. Wilson denies that he said
anything. Well, even had he admitted
the above statement, it still would be
true that he hadn't said anything.
However, it looks like hard rap
at Joseph, and the baseball scorers
probably would score the play as
"Tumulty outl Wilson, unassisted.
In other words, the ex-President
would appear to have knocked Mr..
Tumulty into Cox hat, so TO speak.

OVER!

r-paid sellers of priced stuff,
They override justice and law,
Whatever they get it is enough
To fill up their oversize NAV;
over-rich rooms full of overstuffed chairs
They live soft and over-stuffed lives
They pass their loot over, in generous shares,
TO overdressed daughters and wives;
They quite overcome us with splendor and show
When dining overheads high!
Their cars overtake us wherever go
And pass very scornfully by;
They ride. you might know it, diversified tires
Wherever they chance to be faring;
They over-reach others to gain their desires
In ways that are most over bearing;
And meantime overwrought populace tolls
In over-worked labor below them.
And when we get weary OF swelling their spoiIs,
we may In good time overthrow them.
