Waibloaiun Cfflce-31 Wyatt BUildinc. What This Special Grand Jury Might Do. Kt Attorney IVi em an has secured an order from Judge Brentano.for the convening of a special grand jury on Tuesday. He will not nay just what that body riU be called upon to do, but suggests that its prime dutv, uiay be to investigate perjury charges growing out of the Browne case. The defense charges that all thia is on the part of the state" attorney to intimidate witnesses, since if every witness who falls to agree with Mr; Way man is to be threatened with a perjury indictment, msgjr would hesitate about coming into eourt.

Entirely apart from that controversy. there is certainly plenty of work which it is work that is railing loudly for at tention. for ten months grand juries have come and gone, without making even a dent in the theft and corruption that reign at the eity hall. The statute of limitations is fast runningagainst those crimes, and unless-quick action is taken many of the criminals who still hold ptibjic office and others who do uot will go acot free. So here is a real tasJc for this special grand jury.

By the terms of the order umirr vroicn i cmieu, fin sj irom now Until Christmas, and it can pry into every umi and class or crookedness it pleases, whether it also pleases Way-man or not. This special grand jury need not worry about Wayman'a likes or dislikes. If IVayman won't help it against the city fcafl thieves it needs only to go before any judge and ask the appointment of special attorneys, who will give it the legal help it needs and draw the indict-tnefats which it returns against the tLieves. There is work ahead for a special fraud jury, and It-ls kigb'tinre that it should be at least began; i The Passing of the Bicycle. In 1K97 there were exported from the united btates Dteyeies ana bicycle parts to jt he value of aPuring tfe.

fiscal year erhlefrTfldett June last we exported only $620,760 worth of bicycles, corn pie te and in part. These figures strikingly illustrate the fickleness of public fancy. A generation ago nearly everybody "rode a wheeL--" Children -raced" school on tbeir "bikes clergymen-aedate'v. ped-: aledj td jtheir chorchesdot tor ave'at swiftly on their errands of mercy and business men -aTr classes rode their wheels in preference to street cars and borse-drawn vehicles. Useful as it was for other purposes, perhaps the greatest good of the bicycle was In its adaptability aa a pleasure vehicle.

It enabled persona of all classes to travel quickly aod cheaply during an idle hour or day. It took the flat-dweller of the noisy, crowded city out to the quiet and beauty of the country. Oa Sundays and holidays tbere were almost processions of bicyclists on the thoroughfares leading to the suburbs and outlying territory. Such trips undoubtedly made thousands of people change from city to suburban and country homes, and lengthened their lives by making them healthier and happier. They learned the joya of the "simple life" more than compensated for the attractiona of the city.

The bicycle was the advance guard of the automobile. It educated the pub lic to the charms of travel in our high ways and byways. Incidentally, it gave great impetus to a plan for the general improvement "of public thoroughfares in city, town and country. The automobile simply could not have attained its present popularity had it arrived -with our roads generally in the condition in which the pioneer bicyclists found them. In one respect the superseding: of the bicycle by the automobile ia to be regretted.

The bicyclist was compelled to take healthy exercise. Every trip helped to develop his lungs and muscles. The automobile is a more social institution, but tends to promote a love of ase rather than, physical development. Still, it must be admitted that even the bicycle built for two waa not adapted to conversational. pleasure.

In view of the fact that the bicycle today costs only a fraction of what It did at the height of its popularity, its passing' seems strange. In practically every country 'on the globes ita aales hare been decreasing steadily since 1697, judging by the exports from this country. In that year we exported $2,375,000 worth to Great Britain, and only $126,000 worth last year. Germany paid as over $1,000,000 for bicycles in 1897, but only $14,000 the past year. The "bicycle craze" reached its-height in Japan in when we sold her $420,000 worth.

Last year she bought only $21,000 worth. Cuba is the only nation showing an Increase in recent years in the number bicycle used, but even there it ia I uig. ground. In the fiscal year ended 3 ne 20, 1908, we sold there $43,000 crth of bicycles, but last year she xnt from as only half aa many. whole world owes a debt of gratl- iou to the bicycle and ita passing is to he Ui) r- Caynor aaya in the current Ceutarj: Ve have also a laree num- ber of eo-called 'leading; citizens who call tbemaelves reformer as each election drawa near, and talk reform, although they never do any, and whose object ia to see that at all bazar bo real reformer be nominated or elected for mayor.

On- the aasumption that it doesn't mcke any particular dilTereftce what the label "Republican stands for Mr. Taft goes on to make a defense of the policies and legislative? enactments of bis administration, which is entirely convincing if we make the Taft assumption at the beginning. With res-pect the tariff, for instance, Mr. Taft quotes as embodying his pres-eut poaitlou the memorandum be attached to the bill when he signed it, to the effect that, while it "ia not a perfect tariff bill or a complete compliance with he promises made," it is Ue result of a sincere effort. The Insurgents deny that it is even a sincere effort.

That is the whole burden of their assault, and the argument on which, wherever they could, they have denied renominatlon to every Republican Congressman who voted for tbcbilL On the other hand, to Regular Republicans the Insurgents who votedagalnst the bill a a whole, and merely because it did not pleaae tbem in some detain, seem guilty of the groaaest bad faith. Differences may always be reconciled when each party is willing to concede the sincerity and good faith of the other. Bat when the discassfon begins ar.d continues with denial of sincerity and good faith the issue becomes one which must be simply fougbt'out. The President's efforta to restore harmony to a party rent ia every direction on questions of principle, and by the Insurgent denial that any Regular Be- piioiicao can poseriDiy De actuated save by some sordid or corrupt motive, arc creditable to bis benevolent and charitable' disposition, but fear--will be wholly futile to accomplish. the desired resort.

Thousands of Republicans, to our knowledge, regard it aa much less im porta at that the majority of the next House should be labeled "Rcoublicaf than the label should have some aaMTiathed.and'definne'Weanln." Nor ia such deAnita. meaning-given aa Mr. Taft seeks to do ik by appeal to the Republican national platform of 1908. The real issue goes far beyond the con crete incisure pledged in that docu ment. It goes to the vital question of ttjhat rball be the permanent.

The result has been the confusion twice confounded which we now have. That is why we must regard the Presi dent's plea for harmony a futile, well ialentloned 'as it is. There can be.

no peace within the Republican party until the warring faction are brought each to admit that the other, whatever its mistakes of knowledge or judgment, has acted and is acting in good faith. Can This Be True A "Hotel Strange, in fact almost incredible, tidings come by cable from London. Tbere ia a "no tip" hotel on the Strand, we are told, and it ia enjoying great prosperity. People are turned away every night. Tbc idea of a "Hotel Tipless is not new.

Ardent souls hare long and vainly dreamed of a caravansary which, one could pasa ti rough without, leaving t-sil of silver and gold. Some nave voiced that They have felt that the time would come when plans for a "Hotel Tipless" would be as nomeroua as designs for a "City Beautiful" at present. Architects would give their best thought to the subject. The newspapers and civic organization would exploit it. They have clung to the idea thatome day we would open monthly magazines and see.

instead of the fairylike streets and structure that represent, the "City ravishing interior which would respond artistically to the title of the -Hotel Tipless." And in' their most ecstatic moments they have, no doubt, had visioaaof what a "Hotel Tipless" would be. How free from itching- palms the waiters How unnecessary for the guerta to gf about with pockets full of change! How joyful the arrival! How simple the departure! And now. if the cable from London ia correct, the dream aeema or the verge of full realization. who have stoutly maintained that a "Hotel Tiplesa" wa a physical and moral impossibility are threatened with confusion. The "Hotel Tipless," in a modesfformat least, haa come at la sU That cable aboard give a prop to optimism, everywhere.

If a "Hotel Tip-Ies, why not a "City Graft less," a "Bryan Yoiceleasv a "Cummins Job-leas" anything, in fact? one thinks of the first item, all good things rem possible- However, further details as to the Strand hotel would be most welcome. To declare that a hotel la a "no tip" establishment, after all, is not to make it one. The place may be a counter feit. Perhaps It is a mere imperfect effort to realise a lofty id est. Beiforc giving way to unbounded joy.

TIIK l.NTER OCKAX, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST ZD, 1010. btfore adhnltflnj tht tb raoM dsrinj dream of tha ceatary 'ia taklo? form ami ahapeand preparing to dwell visibly among at, we should like to-hear a few remarks from the other side some detail That convince, ralber than a-mere cable tip. Chicago, the Convention City. Fourteen national organlzationa will bold their "annual conventions in 'Chicago during September, according to the convention bureau of the Association of Commerce. 'During the next four months tbere will be at least a hundred -organization meetings.

It goes without saying that no-other city in the country is able to make any-tniog like an equal showing. Chicago is admittedly and pre-eminently the "con-rent ion And at that the city has not many things which other large cities example, Chicago does not boast the facilities for enabling, in fact, for practically forcing, visitors to take open air Turkish baths which one notices daring a short-as-possible stay, in St. Louis in summer. She bss never even Claimed to have them. It ia also true that this city haa not jet managed to provide anything quite so amusing as the horse car lines along the docks and across Manhattan island which tourista to Xew York are never tired of looking- at.

Every one knows that one city can't have everything. To go further, Chicago haa never induced contentions to meet here by representation that her local color, waa anything' aa pronounced as that which Pittsburg- offers to every comer, and, in case be stays around a bit, generously applies to his face and attire without extra charge. Whatever may be said of her, she has not attempted to wear that "undeserved dignity." She haa not even, in point of -fact, vaunted ber facilities for complete and undisturbed rest as equal to those of Philadelphia Nor has she even intimated that abe could furnish the mountain views which adorn the principal part of Kansas City. So. Astonishing as it may-seem to many, Chicago haa gained and kept her pre-eminence as a convention renter not ouly without these attractiona but also without even pretending to have a sub stitute for them.

She has done it by perfect frankneaa and because of char acteristics quite different from those mentioned. Not wishing to boast, we will only mention that Chicago Is the railroad center of all thia part of creation; that hundred -thousand visitor nfay drop in any day informally without -bother to us or to themselves and that Chi cago, from Jane to November, la the Original and Only Summer Resort of which it was written, "Equaled by few, excelled by none." "Meet me in New York" or St. Louis or- Philadelphia eema a natural enough thing- for one man' to say to an other. But cornea to it accma odd to bear anything but "Well meet In Chicago, of course. A Plea for None Not long ago appeared a novel, "The Soul of a Serf, -which" the reviewer of The Inter Ocean praised in-no lukewarm term.

'taught the mythology and bero-Jore of Greece and Rome, but not that of the Teutons Norsemen and Germanic tribes from whom the most America ns may claim descent? Practically every one who ia fairly well educated, here in the United States, does know aomething of Zeus, or Jupiter, according to- the Latin form; of Eera (Juno), of Apollo, of Pallas Athene (Minerva), of Diana.

Venus (Artemis and Aphrodite in tha Grecian tongue), of Area (Mars), and all the other gods that reigned on Mount Olympus. But there are not many latter-day Americana who have even a slight ac quaintance with Odin and Thor, Krigga and reia, Baldur, Bragi, and bold Tio gods of the Teutonic heaven with their deeds of might a ad strength, their strug gle against him who stood for ain and evil, Loki. and their final fall and death in the great battle Ragnarok. ignorance ia to be deplored for two good reasons: First, because Teutonic god and bero lore is very beautiful, abounds in big. fine ma nil news and virile poesy.

It lit erature the "Edda" and a lot of early German folk tales which have been collected and put into print by many Ger man scholar-writers, not to mention half a dozen epic poema of the nature of "The Ntbelun gen lied baa handsome value in so far aa it appeala not only to one's fancy, but call constantly upon one's sense of truth, honor, and courage. Wherefore those who are not aware of IU existence are denied a true and worthy pleasure. And the second reason Is that we Americana of whom the large majority I sprung from the Teutonic stock. cither by of Anglo-Saxon blood or. more directly still, through German and through Scandinavian ancestry owe it to our descent to have at a.

rudimentary knowledge of the creed, aongs. and folk stories of our ancestors. This is not mere aenUmentality; it is the soundest sort of sentiment. There seems to be no valid argument against instruction in the schools and in the college such as would open for Americana the treasure house of splen did poesy, of stirring fiction, which is now a dead wall to them: as would make Teutonic tales of goda and heroes be the property of every person -who might choose to claim it. Since there is time to teach Roman and Greek mythology, tbere Is time, beyond a doubt, to teach that Norse my thology wbich concerns ua far more in timately than the If there were no time for teaching both, then it would teem as if the Greek mythology should be dropped and the Germanic one should be taught.

Pray Walter Raoschenbusch. In, the American Magmainet. 0 great source of truth and knowledge, wa "remember before thee the writer of bonks, the newspaper men. and all whose calling it is to gstber and winnow facts and to Inform the people." Grant them a determined love for honest work and a stanch hatred for the making of lies, lest they pervert the judgments of our nation and teach us to csll light darkness and darkness light. Suffer tbem not to drug the mind of our people with falsehood and Make them realize that they bava a public function, in the commonwealth, and that thelrcoostry may be aaved by their coursge and undone by their cowardice and silence." We know a few newspaper men who work along these line, and we know another kind.

Mr. Bryan devotes more than a page of bis Commoner to "The Passing of Hryan," the text being clippings with headings like these; "Passing of Pry an."
