ber election it will ot bo because of
the strength of their position but be

And if the San Francisco convention
afford more depressing spectaiJ
than the Chicago convention, it will
be because the" rival democratic lead
em have clubbed out each other's po
litical brain.
The "old iruard" of the g. o. p.

surrenders and often compromises.

Commenting upon the case, of a
speeding Portland motorist whose
recklessness cost a human life, the
Oregonian says: "It is incomprehen
sible, aa it is true, that motorists
find speeding the subject for jest and
count it a most felicitous day when
they evade arrest, though openly vi
olating the law. To any one of them,
these unpunished offenders, may

such as came to the man now serv

a lifetime will not retrieve the error
