Under tho caption. "The Game Ex posed." Mr. Bryan, In hi Commoner, relates some Inside democratic cam paign secrets, for which tho public should feel obliged to him. Tho ex position concerns the Harmon and Underwood backing. Both, aaya the oracle of democracy, are Wall street tools, Harmon being brought out first, ss he waa a northern man and presumably the more available, but as time progressed sad he failed to how . strength. Underwood was groomed and trotted forth. In another editorial the Commoner goes after Underwood, demanding that hs ezplsln why hi state of Ala bama tied up It delegates so they are pledged to vote for him and no other democrat at sny time In tha conven tion. He desires to know if this wss done at Underwood's behest and says that if it waa It shows Underwood to be ungrateful to the maa who made blm. Champ Clark. All this is aot significant except ss showing that; la Mr. Bryan's Judg ment, Underwood, while possibly not a . formidable candidate, I strong enough to need sttscklng. Mr. Bryan has too many others to kaock out of the way to be wasting his time oa desd ducks. 80 It must be con cluded that In hi Judgment the Abv bams maa haa dangerously potential strength. Of course, never doe Mr. Bryan entirely cease hi assault npon Wall street, so that his connection of Underwood with that source might, of Itself, sccount for hi unrelenting opposition. . But Mr. Bryaa Is doing a good piece of publicity work. Just the same. Turning the limelight on tho rascals will get them every time. ' Dsmainf the Fltf. -There Is such a thing as American becoming too nonchalant In tho con fidence that, whatever befalls, the safsty of their flag and all that It stand tor to secure beyond tho possi bility of peril. Either this Impulse of serene patriotism or tha less worthy one of patriotic tndlfferenco must underlie th dispassionate counte nance w glv to such Incident as transpired a little while ago la New Tork, whea peeudo-aaarcblata tore down aa American flag with the shuddering exclamation, "We don't recognise that 'flag tak th dirty rag down." ' ' ' The father of the present governor of New York once gave orders to hoot "oa tbe spot" the maa who tears dowa the American flag." But wo at lsss emotional today, U wilt bo ald, and th flag, while U may be Insulted by s handful of Irra tional cranka, I In no dinger of de struction. Tst our. rationality as patriots and th flag safety are aot conserved by Impassively counter! nanclng such Indtialtles. ..: But this to not all. Over yonder In Faneoll hall, with Its Inspired mem ory of American patriotism, on of these Bear-anarchists declared with brsahness that th time wss at hand "when th government of tho com monwealth must be overthrown." What would thoee former Fauaull hall orator have said to that? Oh, wU, tt may he said thia was th utterance of aa irresponsible dema gogue that carries no weight with thinking mea. . The aad answer is that a member of the congress of the United Bute Introducee this Irresponsible dema gogue to his colleagues aa a "martyr of labor' cause." Now, It ahoald be said right her that H I not tha rank and file of honest labor that foment disrespect to the flag and condones anarchy. But that hat nothing to do with the dangerous tolerance of un patriotic examples. ... , ' ' ' Who Jj Iciponiiblet On, phase of. th Titanic disaster haa not ret had its due share of con sideration. How much of tha respon sibility fpr thst.awful trsgdr rests with the public Are tha owner alone to be condemned because of the mania for apeed, because safsty was sacrificed for luxury, or does some of the blsms rest properly with those who by their patronage aad plaudits encouraged the recklessness that threw away so many lives? ' Is tt aot a fact that la tha fierce competition of the day success I the reward of the maa who "takes chances?"' At wont h caa only fail. while wealth and fam await oa th fortuitous Issus of his daring. ' So it to with tho traniportatloa com panies; the railroad that caa drive Ha trains by the swiftest speed from point to point gets the passengers; the steamship company whose) boats make th. shortest tints la passage across the ocean Is bailed a victor and crowned with profit. Slower and safer train and ships exist, but they do aot attract the multitude, wbeee demand to for speed. Aad speed to purchased at the price of security. Much sermonizing has been In dulged la concerning the tendency of tha public towards speed. Hurrying to th baa of modem life, aad aot oa phase to free from the Influence. J. Brae Ismsy aad those aaaodaled with him will aot b relieved from righteous blame for the dreadful dis aster that haa so profoundly shocked tha world, but they are aot alone ealpabla. Th public, all over tbe world, to responsible primarily for tha madness that has throws all safety to tho winds to aa effort to do everythlag quicker, and the public mast accept Itsyahsrs-af blame for the loss of the 1,349 Uvea that were sacrificed la aa effort at apeed. The tragedy to that the public will not accept Its share of the blame. It wiU hurl Its anathema at the maa who failed, and encourage others to try the same experiment. Horse Can aad Skyicrtpen. Provincial old New Tork still holds to some of its horse cars. According to the last report of the public serv ice commission there, tha city has 170 of these street railway vehicles In use. They are run on short cross-town line and the reason for their re tention Is, not sentimental, as might be supposed, but purely commercial; they can be operated on these short circuit more cheaply, it haa been found, than can tho modern electric car. So this city, which haa become a veritable forest of towering sky scrapers, the center of modern life. clings to these relics of the "good old days" for the same reason that it shoots Its business blocks so high Into the air money, not sentiment. Visitors who hsva aot been to Gotham before are unprepared to find that the metropolla of the country Is th 00 city in which the old horse csr still to opersted. It take a force of S.000 bones to operate these 170 cars, which, if run by electrical power, would require hundreda of thousand of that kind of horses. Doubtless these old lines are heavily patronised by strangers, who, some of them coming from the provinces, are delighted to find In the heart of tbla hurly-burly metropolla, some mean of travel that doea not aend them through space at a break-neck speed and by other who are (truck by the novelty and wish to have It said that they rode oa a borae ear In New York In 191J or '11 or '10. Coniuiing- the Public Hind. The mayor of Kanaaa City, In nego tiation with the atreet railway com pany over new franchise, hold all his healings In secret, snd when asked for his reason for not holding them In the open, explained that the effect of open hearings "Would be confusing on th publlo mind." Whsrsupoa th Kansas City Star re marks: The complete publicity of the ntejotia tlons for tho franchise In 1S0S did aot "confuse the publlo mind." The record shows It enabled the public mind to be wonderfully clear. The Star 1 another newspaper that ha not learned to appreciate the magnanimity of secret eslon by public officials on public business. It probably would be so Impertinent aa to queatlon tbe wisdom of conduct ing a $7,000,000 bond sale In secret. If Kansas City had begun the "im medlat compulsory purchase", of Its water- works a J. 000, 000 soma tn yr - sgoi ' with the- purchasing process stni going on around f M00. 000, th Btsr would know bow to vsluo this self-sacrificing spirit on the part of its public servants, this spirit that protect the weak-minded people from confusing their mind with th Intricate problem which ar being settled la secret. Wis Viewof Education, , Fit a man for the day's work, bat at th same time equip hint te meet the arte! a and tha emergency which the ear's work will Inevitably ' bring forth. ' He who has laid a broad and secure founds, thro will find no difficulty la erecting the superstructure. Whatever he builds he will be able to build himself Into the work of his bsnd and brain.' Make a maa and hs will find his work. This to ths function of higher edu cation aa Dr. John O. Hibben, the new president of Princeton uni versity, expressed tt la his Inaugural addreea. It Is view that needs wide reflection. It ha tha right focus, a tru perspective aad must com mora snd mor Into popular favor. Education's prim function I to train man and women for life, and let then find their vocatlona. It will make littl difference to the world what sphere they cast their lota In, Just so they are men and women with proper appreciations of what It to to live, of the world's need for service, of th relative value of tho spirit to get and th purpose to give. "Fit a man for th day' work, but at th asm time equip him to meet the crisis and th emergency fchlch the day s work will Inevitably bring forth." Nothing short of maximum preparation or equipment will do. No man caa afford to stop with a mini mum of resources. All right so long as only minimum demands : arise. Crises snd emergencies come to every life and the life unequal to them must expect nothing but fsllure. reeetratlaa Slehevr Dtsermloe. Indianapolis News.

' Acting Chairman Rose water ks wise In calling the aatioaal committee together st a date earlier than usual in advance of the convention. The committee will meet oa June (. which Is twslvs days be fore the convention opens. As the prin cipal business of the committee la such cases la to settle ths disputes between rival delegations. It will be kept pretty constantly at work during the time which will intervene before ths big gathering comes. Already there are 23S scat la tbe convention tn dispute, which Is a greater number thsa any national com mittee has beea called upon to deal with along to this Urns, and S3 delegates are still to be chosen. . Three-fourths of the contests which have already been set up are made by ths friends of Colonel Roosevelt, snd ths remainder are by tha supporters of Presi dent Taft. To a tares degree the choice te be made In the convention will be In fluenced by the derisions which are made at these disputes. Thus the work which the committee win be called upon to per form Is of largo consequence te the re publican party end te ths country. It Is well that Mr. Rosewater and his asso ciates have arranged to give plenty of time to thee fights between rival dele gates. The time for Cling contests wlU expire oa May a, but as many dele at ec will be chosen after that data, some con tests will probably be handed ever to the convention to settle. Nearly every presidential year the convention has a Uttle work of this kind to do. but thst body's task of this sort la Ml) promises to break alt records. It will be well for the party, however, to understand that ths committee In tends to deal Impartially with all these disputes. This bj ths promise which the chairman makes. It Is ths course which the party will Insist upon. Personal prejudice must not be allowed to blss either th commlltte or the convention so this point All the asplraata most bsv fair play. Ths aim of tha com mittee and of the convention will be to bridge the chasm between tbe leading nomination seekers, as far aa possible. Whlls the republicans have a normal lesd of about lW0,MO vote over the demo crat In tha country at large, they can not win unless they have a reasonable degree ef unity. There I discord smong the democrats also, but ths republicans must not count toe much en this factor la balancing chance In November.
