MIR. BRYAN is CLEAR ENOUGH,

The Washington Post affects not to
be able to understand Mr.. Bryan, when
he says he favors Filipino independence
under an American protectorate. Now
we undertake to say that Americans
generally have heretofore thought they
understood it we'll enough and were not
aware that it could be misunderstood.
until the Post told them.
The Post itself. if it ever had any diff
ficulty about CONFORMING independence
and u protectorate, ought ODE relieved
as to that when it quotes Mr.. Bryan as
follows:
"Our nation is protecting the rcpub
lies of South America from outward in
reference while they work out their
destiny. We can extend the same doc
trine TO the Philippines and, having
rescued the Inhabitants from Il foreign
yoke, we can guard them from molestl-
ton while they develop n republic in
the Orient"
After that clear statement of his
meaning, he who runs may read. and
the wayfaring man need not err therein.
Yet the Post refuses to comprehend;
insist, that independence under a pro-
teotoratc is impossible. the terms in
compatible, and the phrase a paradox.
The aptest response to the Post is that
which rude DR. sam. Johnson gave Bos-
well when the latter complained that he
could not understand him: Il can OK
press myself plainly enough said the
DR., or words to that cect, "but l can
not furnish brains to comprehend me-"
That was rough and tough; but what is
one to say in such cases of obstinate
misapprchension, or incorrigibe dull
ness?
The Monroe doctrine Is n very great
protection to South American Repub-
lies from European interference; and
while the doctrine does not at all touch
the independence OF the protected, It
does keep off all other intrusion. Mr..
Bryan says that is what he means; and
if the Post, as it says, still needs fur
Their explanation. we do not see how 1t
could so further
The matter is that the Post is given

ernment could protect itself from out

The Coal Discovery,

ing the discovery of coal in that
section as previously reported in
the Seven Devils Standard and re-
published in the FREE Press a few

and two others are the discoveries
and they report quite ext nsive
groupings. The discovery was
made about two miles from the

discovery is considered one of i'm

down Salmon river, the dis covery
