If I Were King. "If I were President," said Uncle Remus, after he had spent a while at the White House. I'd have a brass band in front of the White House and a brass band in the rear playing all the time, and I would have a regiment of soldiers put in the yard on dress parade. This Is the Georgia idea of supreme happiness set forth with the candid simplicity which forms the most de lightful of the many charming charac teristics of Uncle Remus. The bucolic taste has no better Interpreter. But the reporter did not state the whole tale as twas told to him. Were we childlike and bland avuncular relative to be inducted some auspicious day Into the over-lordship of the Palace by the Potomac, not only would the notes of the cornet ana trombone nev er cease to break in melodious waves upon the Washingtonian shaft, and the brass buttons and blue coats of the finest on earth be' never absent from the emerald lawns around the residence, but hospitality would reign within the walls such Ellic Stephens used to dispense at his Independence hall among the Georgian hills. Some thing warmer than the water tnat flows by Cabin Johns bridge would al wavd he on taD in the Cabinet Cham ber, co d 'dos sum ana taters woiua never fall to tempt tne mia-aay caii er, and peanuts of the half-shell would grace the tables of the outer hall from sun to sun.

A very vulgar and Illiterate person In London havlnz acaulrerl nHlniv a large fortune, set up . a fine establish. ment, oecame socially ambitious, had a coat of arms manufactured to be painted on the panels of bis gilded coach, and applied to Foote, the fa mous wit of the period, to suggest an appropriate motto to accomnanv the armorial bearings, When the first triumphal drive of the Mall occurred every one laughed to see the device and - lnBcription.Tber upstarts indig nantly sought his adviser to know the meaning of the Latin words, and the translation given him was "why do you ride?" The same question might Just now be appropriately asked of the scores of middle aged Colonels and Majors who are undergoing the so-called test Of their physical condition which Is In. Solved In an enforced equestrian Jour ney ot njeen miles across country at prescrmea gaits ana without drawing rein. The penalty of failure to make the trip without III effect on wind or limb is to be visited by compulsory retirement rrom the service. For some time past the Army has been the victim of an administration so arbitrary and experimental that It would be an outrage on language to call It a system. The fads and fancies which have been put into, practice in our military establishment during the last ten years are more suggestive of a lot of lads "playing soldier" than of serious and well-considered direction of the military branch of the govern ment by professonal soldiers. But the injustice and impolicy of this latest requirement of the War Department is perhaps the climax of a series of pre scriptions alike absurd and unfair. Most of the officers to be affected by this order have been for' years as signed to sedentary employment by the mandate of the Government itself. Most of them, if permitted reasonable time to renew their acquaintance with the saddle, would doubtless oome out of the stipulated trial without signs of fatigue, or other physical distress. But the test as applied, except in ex treme cases, proves nothing beyond the fact that men long accustomed to horseback exercise can not be sub jected suddenly to a severe trial of endurance without betraying the flaccldity of muscle and tenderness of.esh, and perhaps the acceleration of heart action, which necessarily en sue upon the quick transition from a life at the desk to a feat of physical exertion. It would be just as sensible and Just as equitable should the Navy Department order upon immediate sea duty all the officers on the active list who have spent continuous years In the performance of bureau functions on shore, and remand for peremptory assignment to the retired roster all of these who did not show up in tne nrst roueh weather with the unruffled stomachs and unperturbed sea-legs which can only appertain to habitual rockers in the cradle of the deep. It does seem that the order of the War Department should stipulate some time for training to the gentle men of the field and BtafT itself de Drived of opportunities for that prac tice which alone tan ensure "fitness." Otherwise it must ensue that the Ar my will lose the services of many of its most accomplished and meritorious officers. a h. i ,-oc o I no- tho Npw York chamber of commerce on Thursday night last, ex-Senator Spooner ot Wisconsin ais Aiioaod tho financial situation and the causes.

' ALL REAL DEMOCRATS FOR i - BRYAN. Hailed as Next President ' We have given the. telegraphed sy nopsis of Mr. Bryan's speech at the great banquet in Washington last week. . The speeches of the represen tative Democrats who preceded him are of even greater Importance, be cause they, make ft plain that every true Democrat whose Influence ; will count In next year's titanic struggle will be heart and soul behind the choice of the" Democratic masses. Most Important of all are the unqual ified, words of Senator-designate John Sharp Williams, the brilliant leader of the minority in the House, who has heretofore been counted among the opponents of Mr. Bryan. The - Washington Herald, gives an lnterestJngjujcow.toMheseinspJrlng speeches, which follows:' (TT i William' Jennings Bryaa was given a magnificent testimonial by Demo crats of the District ot Columbia last night. Five hundred of them united to do him honor. ' " ' j , ' Hailed aa the next president, cheer ed to-the echo by deroted .followers who recognize, no other leadership, the political greeting he received was a notable climax of a series of ovations that will make memorable his visit to the Capital. , ".' No more representative body of men has ever gathered in Washington on a like occasion. Five hundred sat at the tables in the large banquet hall of the Raleigh Hotel and paid tribute to the Nebraska chieftain. Enthusiasm and harmony marked the occasion. Bank presidents, four of them at least;pro tesslonal and business' men In large number, and the regular quota of Dis trict Democrats constituted the not able company. Not One Discordant Note. Not a discordant note was sounded. Every man there was a Bryan man. and the statement that he would be the nominee of the united Democracy of the nation1 for President In 1908 met unanimous response. The banquet, in spite of the size of it, was admirably handled. The dec orations' were attractive, the souve nirs worth keeping, and all the ap pointments nttea to sucn a function Some limpatlence to hear the guest of honor naturally developed, but the preceding speakers entertained the as semblage with remarkable success considering the lateness of the hour when the oratory began. Hon. H. L. West, District Commis sioner, as toastmaster, filled the post tlon most happily and creditably. Enthusiastic Meeting. The meeting was one of the moSt enthusiastic of any kind ever held In Washington, and the list of speaker's brought together by the committee In cluded the big men in the party. The spacious banquet room was crowded to Its utmost capacity when Mr. Bry an arrived, and when he did come he was given a rousing cheer that lasted for several minutes. From Commissioner J. J. Hagan, of New York, came the word that Tam many will support Mr. Bryan as its choice for the Presidential nomination and from John Sharp Williams came the announcement that the South puts the Democratic party ahead of every thing else, and that the time has come whon there is harmony enough In the party that Mr. Bryan can be elected. The meeting was pre-eminently a harmonious one, and the prominent Democrats of the country who were not there did not fail to send their regrets. Arrangements had been made for the banquet to begin at 8 o clock, but it was some time after that before it was called to order by Commissioner Henry Litchfield West, the delay hav ing been occasioned by the labor pa rade having blocked, many of the streets. Shortly after the guests' were seated, Mr. Bryan arrived, and he was given an unusually enthusiastic greet ing. Henry L West's" Address. It was after 11 o'clock when Mr. West formally opened the meeting, and he said: "Permit me, first ot all, to extend to you my sincere appreciation of the honor which has been conferred upon me and to congratulate you upon this splendid gathering of representative Democracy. Surely it is not without interest and significance that there should be assembled to-night in the Capital of the nation, Democrats of all shades of opinion, united to do honor to the man who Is the foremost champion of their party and all in spired with a spirit of loyalty to their organization. "Fortunate is It for the Democratic party that the condition which "pre vails here to-nifht la typical of the en tire country, and that there is a de sire on the part of Democrats every where to get togetherto stand should er to shoulder in a common cause, an to move forward In organized and aggressive ranks toward victory. "Assigned to me tonight Is the pleas ant duty of .introducing with appro priate word the speakers of Jthe even ing. Beyond this I shall trench upon your patience only . for a word of preface. Ifit me, for a moment, em pahslzr the one fact which- fills us with inspiration and encouragement. It is the enduring character, the won derful vitallty.of the Democratic par ty.

" -..,.,. ,iW cratic President occupied the White House, we gather here tonight with undiminished loyalty and enthusiasm, undaunted by defeat and more than ready to engage In jthe approaching contest neiore the American neonle. i Nowhere else in the world where representatlve government obtains can be found such devotion to a partisan organization, and our own political his tory affords no counterpart of such re markable party vitality. Years come and years go, but still the -Democratic party lives. Do-you ask the reason why? " It is because the Democratic party is founded upon principles which are In themselves vital and eternal and ..upon which alone, In our opinion, can popular government successfully be maintained. - ' "We believe, with Jefferson, in the largest rights of the States and the curbing of Federal power within the strictest constitutional limits. We stand, with Jackson, against a high tarut wnicn creates ana fosters mon nofaolistlc corporations. We demand, .with Tllden, rigid economy and hon esty In Federal administration, and, above all, -we uphold, with Bryan,- the preservation of the rights and liberties of .the common people. ; "We may not, as Democrats, agreje with each other at all times and on all things. . Democracy unfortunately sometimes for : party supremacy means independence, not subservience uoeny .or tnougnt ana action, not the shackles of dictation and bosslsm. " "Upon the cardinal priclples of the party, however, we clasp the hand of cordial fellowship. New issues, occa sioned by advancing civilization, may arise, but they cannot disturb the In destructible foundation' upon which the Democratic party rests. With these principles paramount in our or ganization we will rise like Antaeus refreshed after every struggle, though disruption they .threaten or defeat may come. As long as popular government exists the Democratic party Is certain to endure, safeguarding our Institu tions and protecting the masses of the people against the destructive rule of autocracy. Such Is the party to which we again tonight pledge our allegiance and with unconquered spirit look for ward to deserving triumph nobly won. "And now we come to the climax of the evening, the one event which has been the magnet to draw us together, and which will fittingly close this Democratic reunion. We have reached the point, too, where the duty of the toastmaster seems superfluous, un less, in the trite expression of the proverb, we paint the lily and gild re fined gold. "Let me, therefore, merely suggest that we are honored tonight by the presence of a man who, depsite the fact that he does not wear the crown of victory upon his brow, is still the idol of many millions, who, although be has been for more than fifteen years most prominently in the public eye, has so conducted himself that the" breath of calumny has not rested upon him; a man whose private life Is above reproach, and whose public ca reer has been marked by patriotic de votion to his country and to his party; whose strong and attractive person ality is today more firmly intrenched in the hearts of the masses of the people than ever before; a man whose friendship we are prcud to claim, ana to whose great ability and forcefulness we yield willing tribute; the leader of the Democratic party, William Jen nings Bryan." Then came Commissioner Hagan s speech, and it was received with cheers, because it brought the news that the Empire State's workers will be for Mr. Bryan. In his message, Mr. Hagan said; Mr. Hagan's Address. "No matter what else may be said about the Tammany Tiger, its claws are always dripping with blood of the Republican party," added the speaker. 'I am not here to boast of the capac ity of my great organization, for everybody Is aware that Tammany knows how to deliver the goods, and I only mention it to show that as one of Its leaders I must necessarily know something about practical politics. "The cost of living is increasing so rapidly that the mere question of daily bread Is becoming a serious one. In their mtnds the trusts are entirely to blame for this condition. Every house wife in New York among the common people could tell off-hand the differ ence each year In the Increased prices in her butcher, her baker, and her grocer bills. They believe their distress is occa sioned because the doctrines of the great founder of this government are being ignored."- Mr. Hagan declared: the people were anxious for a change, and that Mr. Bryan was the Thomas . Jefferson of the twentieth century. He said he was sure if the Demo cratic party, with Mr. Bryan as leader tn the next campaign, would make the tariff and the trusts the para mount issue, New York would return to the Democratic fold by more than 80,000 majority. New Jersey would follow with a majority of 20,000. "It is alright to demand that the scoundrels who have been fleecing the people should be put In the peniten tiary, but they will not be unless a man like Mr. Bryan is President," con tinued the speaker. ' Mr. Hagan concluded with the dec laration that -the .New York delega tion to the Democratic national con vention will Insist upon the nomina tion of our 'Great Commoner.' " When the applause following Ha gan's message had subsided, Repre sentative Ollie James, of Kentucky, was introduced, and he brought down the house in the first Bentenee by hla To check a cold quickly, get from your druggist some little Candy Cold Tablets called Preventlcs.

Democracy Popular. "It is becoming - popular to be a uemocrat,, The Republicans have found that out, for they have been stealing all the Democratic ideas. They have not failed to gather In a single one that Is worth-while. But they have balked at tariff revision, as a party, I have come to think that the Republican party has in it some elements of compassion, for In all the list -of protected articles,, they have Kindly given us one thing that Is not niaaen behind a high wall of tariff, That is ice. " r , "I don't know for sure Just why they left ice on the free list, but I think It must have been out of pity, for iney anew that the trusts that would grow up under the tariff laws would make It so hot for us In this country that we would need something to cool us off. "The time was when Mr. Bryan ad vocated an income tax, the Republi can leaders wanted to call him an an archist. Now . we see the President and Secretary Taft taking unto them selves the credit for having advanced that idea, and the country no longer sits aghast when such a thing is mem tioned. They said the Supreme Court would not stand for such a law and then the President takes a shy at the Supreme Court. "The party Is now united. We pre sent a solid wall to the enemy. Al though we have not yet convinced the Jury that we are right, we have con vinced the advocates for the other side, and they are profiting by our experiences. All For Bryan. "We are united now, and it is for Bryan, Bryan, Bryan." Thomas F. McNulty, of Baltimore, was the next man introduced, and he made a great hit with a song about Bryan to the tune of Star Spangled Banner, and he sang an air that pleas ed all. He gave a copy of the song to Mr. Bryan. Representative William Sulzer, of New York, followed, and he endorsed what Mr. Hagan had said about Tam many's standing for Bryan, and ex press himself on the platform needs of the party next year: He declared the com'.ng congress will do important business, ana saia the pai ty is now on to victory. His speech was as fol lows: Mr. Sulzer on Finance. Mr. Sulzer's remarks were on the subject of currency reform, which he said, was the most important ques tion of the hour. Congress should act In this matter and place our currency and banking systems on a stable, bus inesslike, and permanent basis. Said Mr. Sulzer: Every intelligent man who has studied the subject knows that we have the worst currency and banking systems in the world. The merest kind of patch-work a disgrace to our business intelligence. They must be changed and reformed along lines based on the principles of the currency and banking laws of every other great power In the world where runs on banks are practically unknowu, hoard ing of money unprofitable, and finan cial stringency ana money panics of rare occurrence." Ours the Greatest Nation. Mr. Sulzer then spoke of his travels throughout the Unttea States, which nation, he declared, was the most prosperous on earth, and added his be lief that the unsettled condition of the money market Is caused by a few bankers and a few Individuals hoard ine money, and most of it the money of the people. Continuing, Mr. Sulzer said: The national banks must go out of the government business and the gov ernment must do its own financial business like other countries. The rieht to coin and issue money is one of the highest attributes of national sovereignty, and the government should not delegate it to any bank. The government should coin and is sue all the money, and every dollar should be legal tender, worth 100 cents here and everywhere else." All national banks nf the country should be under the control and su pervision of the government bank, just the same as they are now unaer the control and supervision of the Comp troller of the Currency. In time of emergency the govern ment bank should loan money to banks of the country on such securi ties as I have suggested, consisting of government bonds, State bonds, and municipal bonds of oities having a population of 100,000 or -over, and which have never defaulted in the payment of interest, and gilt-edged railroad bonds of the standard rail roads which have not defaulted in the payment of interest for the past ten yearsr Ol. course it should be dis cretionary with the officers of the gov ernment bank just how much money, if any, to loan on these hypothetical securities. "If this were the law, there would be an elastic currency in this country to- move, the crops, meet every busi ness crisis, and make Impossible a fi nancial panic." Mr. Williams Optimistic. "1 am honestly more encouraged now for the success of the Demo cratic party than I have been in years," said John Sharp Williams, minority leader of the House, when he was called upon. "Next to tho republlo Itself, the Democratlo party Is the greatest hope In the world. But we must not let our differences cut asunder. We are all radical and all conservative, and no man who has a bit of sense in his head is habitually either. Ask any radical man in the country about the nation, and he will tell you there are 80,000,000'conservatlves; ask any con servative, and he will tell you there are 80,000,000 radicals. "But we must not forget tnat great A weak Stomach, causing dyspepsia, a weak Heart with palpitation or in termittent pulse, always means weak Stomach nerves or weak Heart nerv es.

Jefferson's original name for this party was the ' Democratic Republican party, and that is what It must be, because that means our government., - , "We have had it called tn nnr atfpn tion that the Democratic party Is one of wonderful 'vitality. Well, I should say it Is. No other party could have nveu inrougn tne munaers mat you have made and. that I have made; that we all have made. No party could have survived If It had not been rounded on good principles, and this party must see if It can live up to the nrinclnlea nf irnvommont. 'aa ft ahnnM be. We should not forget .that the fundamental principles of government are to provide the right to all to fol low his owa pursuits, and keep all personsthls means fictional persons, such as corporations from Injuring timers;, so carnea on as to give, with in nroner "' honnda. onnal nnnnrtnnt ties to all and special privileges to one. Democrats Not Envious. "No Democrat cares how much wealth another man may get. No Democrat envies another man any thingwealth, position, or what not, and he may be rich as Croesus, if he can show that he has attained his weaitn without- Injuring- -others, and without special privileges. But a gov ernment must see that all men have the right to 'earn comfort, the basis of all civilization, and culture, which is a part of its higher life. "To attain these ends, we must not let our little differences stand In our way. We must work together, In Con gress, we outwork yes. and outtalk tha other side, but our whole trouble is tnat we can't get eight men to pull together In a mule team when It comes to doing something. We must not nave a government of expediency When it comes to the expedient thine to do, we must not take the example or tnose wno go to the special Inter ests to be 'told what to do and I might add that how the special inter ests are rather worried , just what to give by way of advice. The financial troubles have been mentioned. It is easy to explain all panics. We can profit by the examnle of Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who has gone to his political rest; from Joe Cannon, and from others. It is be cause of a prospective Democratic suc cess! 'But to attain success means char ity in leaaership; humility in leader ship. These things we have in Mr. Bryan. We can agree about enough things with Mr. Bryan to keep the Democratic party from going to its aeatn or aecay. "I think, ana if I aidn't honestly think so I wouldn't say it, that the best chance of cohesion and for com bative strength lies in the nomination of Mr. Bryan. I am not afraid of a Democrat of any kind, and he is a Democrat. He will give us a 'safe and sane' administration; not so safe and sane that he will not move at all. We need radicals to keep the conser vatives moving, and with a conserva tive Congress, no man in the White House can be very radical. 'Whon I advocate the nomination of Mr. Bryan, I am asked if he will not be defeated. Maybe he will, but let me ask another question: Who stands a better chance of not being defeated? The South For Bryan. 'The South will be for Bryan, ' and we will work for him. What Demo crat is there who cannot stand for State rights against Federal control; for the belief that taxation is for the purpose of conducting the govern ment; for the Jefferson idea of pro tection; that we should not take the props from under the trusts? "If I could have my way, I would make a tariff rate that would only he the difference between the wage paid American workmen and that paid foreigners, ana I would make it lower that the Walker tariff, which was the lowest we ever haa. "But to do all these things, needs harmony, ana to do these things, means we must work together for the nomination of Mr. Bryan." Mr. Williams closed amid a burst of applause, and he was followed by Mr. Bryan, who was paia a high trib ute by Commissioner West. SATAN AND HOLY WATER. Norfolk Virginian. It is a little curious that keeping pace with the. dry wave now sweeping over the Old North State an epidemic of fiddling tournaments should have b,roken out. There is a natural antag onism between the violin and absti nence which no law can eradicate, a gulf which neither precept nor exam ple can bridge. From the days of the wandering minstrels to those of Old Rosin the Bow the catgut hath been provocative of thirst in performer and audience. Even so far back as the memory of Mother Goose ran not to the contrary, it was then luxuriously inclined to his pipe, and viciously long ing for the flowing bowl, that King Cole called for his fiddlers three. An abstemious fiddler would be a lusus naturae, and, when a concourse of the devotees of that sinful instrument get together, a wet night Is sure to follow. It is to be hoped that Brother Daniels will look into this incongruity and have it stopped. No use trying to strangle John Barleycorn while the peripatetic fiddler is left free to tempt, to assail with the music that Bobble Burns declared to have the Devil in it. Badly Mixed Up. Abraham Brown, of Winterton, N. Y.,.had a very remarkable experience; he says: "Doctors got badly mixed up over me; one said heart disease; two called It kidney trouble; the fourth, blood poison, and the fifth stomach ana liver trouble; but none of them helped me; so my wife advised trying Electric Bitters, which are restoring me to perfect health. .One bottle did me more good than all the five doctors prescribed."
