Dictator and Demagogue
Chicago's democrats have passed
judgement against William J. Bryan
for his attempt to abolish Roger C.
Sullivan as the representative for Illi-
nois on the democratic national com-
mittee. The primaries in Chicago
stood behind Sullivan by an immense
majority. Bryan from his European
throne, issued a pronunciamento de-
posing Sullivan, by forcing him to re-
sign. Sullivan, with his commission
from the democratic party of hisstate,
refused to vacate his post. Bryan op-
posed SullivUn's appointment at the
time it was made, and declared it was
obtained through fraud. The demo-
crats of Illinois, however, seem dis-
posed tostand by Sullivan in this ex-
igency. At the state convention at
Peoria 011 August 21 the democrats
will have'a tight on their hands on
account of Bryan's imperlousness, but
they are likely to indorse the action
taken by Sullivan's neighbors of Chi-
cago and Cook county.
Bryan's demagogy as well as his itn-
periousness was rebuked at those Cook
county primaries which have indorsed
Sullivan. Bryan, in his letter ordering
Sullivan's extirpation because of what
Bryan called a defeat in his title, also
said his "corporation connection had
harmed the party far beyond his power
(oaid the organization". This is dema-
gogy of a cheap and vicious sort.
Nearly every sort of a business con-
cern of any importance comes under
Bryan's term of a corporation. If cor-
porations were to be abolished—and
Bryan evidently wants them to be

convention at Peoria this issue of
Bryan dictation will be fought to a
finish. Even if Bryan should be in-
dorsed at Peoria for the nomination
in 1908, he will be sure to lose the
votes of many men who have hitherto
been on Ills side. He will lose sup-
porters in other states likewise. The
average American of every party dis-
likes external domination in local af-
fairs. The domination in this case
takes a particularly offensive shape.

they will be compelled to take him

autocracy, lie feels free to exercise

democracy should be coerced into nom-

WIFE SWIMS FROM
BURNING LAUNCH
Brings Boats to Rescue oi Husband
Just as He Is About to
Give Up.
Several hundred persons at Sheep*
head Bay, N. Y„ watched Fred Itels-
meier and his wife of Plum Beach
struggle for their lives in a burning
launch 200 feet from the shore line.
Finally Mrs. Itelsmeier plunged into
the water and swam to the shore for
assistance for her husband, who could
not swim.
Itelsmeier used the launch to trans-
port persons from 1'luni Beach to
Sheepsliead Bay. He came over to the
Bay to spend the night. Intending to
anchor the launch in the bay and take
his wife ashore In a small boat.
Striking a match," the flame Ignited
gasoline which had escaped through
a leak in the tank, and 1111 explosion
followed. Ill an Instant the launch
was blazing. Mrs. Itelsmeier lnid her
arms severely burned and her hair de-
stroyed close to her scalp. Her hus-
band escaped burns.
Botti cried for assistance, but per-
sons who stood on the shore and
watched the spectacle did not move.
The water was brilliantly lighted by
the flames, and, silhouetted against the
sky, the mail and woman could be
seen slowly forced to the stern of the
boat by the lire.
Then Mrs. Reismeier went over-
board, headed for the beach and Im-
plored assistance for the man, who
could not swim. He was about to
give up in despair when several boats
reached him. The tire was within a
few inches of his bands when help ar-
rived. The launch was destroyed.

For twenty minutes only the strength
of her fingers saved Belle Lockhardt,

and a half In the air hanging only by
her bauds.
After the balloon had partially emp-
tied and started to come down her
hand caught the cut off rope and let
the parachute loose. When she lnnded
she became unconscious. A life pre-
server about her waist caught in the

Johnny Is Rescued, Provided With

After fifteen hours in the water be-
neath a Coney Island pier John R.
Dixon of McKinney street, Brooklyn,
fifteen years old and naked, was Ushed
out feeling like a bunch of seaweed.
After lie bad been rigged out lu a pair
of overalls and a nickel for car fare
had been thrust in his puckered bund
he was sent home not much the worse
for his adventure.
Johnny reached Coney Island about
2:30 in the afternoon and burled his
clothes in the sand while he took a
swim. When he went to get them a
great hole yawned ominously. Johnny
waded a long distance down the
beach and was not far from the
Dreamland pier when a shout from a
beach patrol, who suspected the extent
of Johnny's attire, alarmed the lioy.
Though already he was tired out, be
swam witli quick strokes to a hiding
place under the pier.
For several hours lie ehuig to a post
and puzzled about what to do. It was
plain to hlni. tie says, that even if lie
successfully got past the patrol lie
could not go far without clothes. He
would be caught and arrested, and
when he returned home all McKinney
street, headed by his father in a tow-
ering rage, would lie out to meet him.
He was positive that any programme
Involving arrest would never do.
Gradually the crowds began to de-
part. The noises In the pleasure pal-

from tile pier. Hi' put all his strength
Into a cry for help, but the only answer
was the lapping of the waves on the
posts around him.
How he lasted through the long hours
of the night till the tirst streaks of
light to the east told him day was near
Johnny dues not know. He did not feel
much or think much. He simply clung
there, he says, in a daze and as the
tide rose and fell mechanically hitched
his body up and down the post. Ho be-
came numb to sounds and after awhile
ceased to feel cold. He just liung ou,
waiting not for day, but for death, and
lu that manner came through the henr
of black darkness up to dawn.
When the first rays of the sun danced
from the horizon over the waves the
boy hardly could believe the truth.
That he had actually clung to that
post the whole night through was to
bini Incredible. But with returning
light he plucked up hope, swam to a
nearby spile, then to another and be-
gan to wonder bow he was going to
account for his absence overnight If
be ever got back to McKinney street.
It was n little before li when Tomp-
kins, an engineer 011 the pier, came to
work. The boy guve a wild shout, and
thnt time he was heard. In ten min-
utes he was being hauled up with a
rope fastened beneath his armpits.
The engineer's overalls came nearly up
to Johnny's neck, and his legs seemed
to be lu bags, but by holding them up
with his hands he managed to walk,
and, as he said, anything was good
enough to get home In.
