T D I E Bryan's Old Trick. OVERNOR BURKE, of North Da- kota is, it appears, Mr. Bryan's choice for the Democratic nomination for President next year. Twelve years ago, when Mr. Bryan was being pestered to tell whom he would support for the nomination, he named over a lot of impossibles, Govern- ors and judges of Southern States. He could thus pretend to show that he was out of the race himself and at the same time tickle the vanity of some of his followers. Of course Governor Burke has not the slightest chance for the nomination, but, by indorsing him, Mr. Bryan relieves himself of the necessity of coming out for either of the rivals who are solicitous for his favor and gives the lightning a chance to strike himself again. With Benefit of Clergy. DEFtRoir is getting the benefit of clergy. A minister in St. Louis and one in New York City have resigned to accept charges in Detroit. The New York clergyman could not longer endure the wickedness of the great city. It would seem as if the wickeder the place, the more need it had for the minister. However, Detroit is not an earthly para- dise and a minister willing to work over- time will find opportunity there. The St. Louis minister is going to Detroit because he wants to live and preach in a town that has a ripping baseball team. His desire will be appreciated by fans who know that the American League ball team of Detroit is at the head of the list and that the St. Louis nine are tail-enders. Wants the Entire Stage 'HE one fly in the ointment pot of the coronation has been the feud between Queen Mary and Dowager Queen Alex- andra. Almost since her marriage the former has complained of too much mother-in-law. Alexandra, as the wife of Edward VII. and the mother of the present King, had the upper hand until she became a widow. The King that aG SG Ge" was being dead and Queen Mary's hus- band having assumed the royal title, the daughter-in-law immediately began to push Alexandra into the background. The latter has been a factor of very lit- tle consequence in the coronation festivi- ties, Queen Mary having seen to it that she had not only the center but all the stage for herself and that she was the sole woman star in the gorgeous cere- monies. All of this goes to show that human nature is about the same in roy- alty as it is in the peasant class. UNK SAHM. ‘The all-powerful god of amer-1-KHA, barning bis favorite incense. . Caustic Comment. TALKING about the mention of his name in connection with the nomi- nation for the presidency, Speaker Champ Clark says, ‘‘ When a man comes round and wants to nominate you for the presidency, you are not going to throw him out of the win- dow; at least I am not.’’ Mr. Clark's position on this sub- ject is humanly and historically correct. No man in public life disrelished the connection of his name with the presi- dential office, and there certainly is no instance on record where any one was thrown out of a window for proposing another for President. * This must be a backward season at the summer resorts. The most sensational item that has come from any seashore hotel is about the catching, cooking, and eating of a twenty-five pound lobster. This incident may be considered well enough in its way, but of itself it can- not be expected to start a multitudinous procession of pleasure-seekers to the ocean beaches. Why, in other years at this time the sea serpent had been seen from every hotel along the ocean coast front from Virginia to Manhattan Beach. % Governor Blease, of South Carolina, appears to be a misfit. He seems to have lost all the sympathy of the people of his State, and the popularity that procured his nomination and election is a vanished factor. Some time ago the editors of his State, in convention as- sembled, sat on him with all their weight, and more recently the graduat- ing class of girls of the Winthrop Col- lege, a State institution, refused to receive their diplomas from him. If Governor Blease has studied to please, he has been an utter failure as a student. * Some Arizona people are thinking that the best thing that prospective State can do is to strike the judicial re- call provision from the proposed consti- tution. A proposition to recall this re- call is a sign of returning sanity. comicbooks.com
