BRYAN ONE Of THE GREAT
FIGURES IN AMERICAN HISTORY

without envy, pickering or Jealousy
follow his leadership defer to his opin-
ions and enthusiastically indorse and
support his every action, is one of the
political marvels of the century.
There must be a reason and phil
osophy underlying such a condition.
1t is not only because Mr.. Bryan is
able and eloquent and possessed of
marvellous powers of endurance, but
because he is above all things abso-
lutely honest, pure and unself1shly pa
triotic.
He has the courage of his convic-
tions and his integrity is above all
price.
He believes in the principles and dec
larations of the platform Of his party
and dares at all hazards maintain and
defend them.
He scorns all the acts of the dema-
gogue and believes implicitly in the
good sense, integrity and patriotism OF
the masses; he fights their battles
against their allied foes, and they trust
him as no man has been trusted py
them in this generation.
For four years Mr. Bryan has lived
and moved in the public eye, meath
great" and yet no spot has been re-
vealed on his escutcheon-no flaw IN
his stainless armor.
That he should in all these years
during which he has spoken to mill
ions under every condition and every
combination Of circumstances, have
never said a word or framed SEN
tence which needed explanation or de-
sof~ r. in, r.
ing short of marvellous.
His thoughts are honest: his work is
honest; his purposes are honest, and
from the abundance Of his heart, which
feels for the toiling millions of Amer
lea, he can but speak the words of
living and eternal truth. ..
There are a few hypercritical objec-
tors who are unable to understand un-
selfish service and who speak of him
as a perpetual candidate for the pres
idency. Time and again he has de-
clared his willingness to step aside
whenever the good Of the party de-
manded 1t. He has positively, and
with a sincerity no man can doubt, de-
clared he would not accept a nomina-
ton If one jot or little of the princi-
pies of the Chicago platform was
abated or expunged.
He has toiled and pleaded for the
principles and policies in which he be-
lieves, when to do so was wholly un-
necessary for the promotion of his per-
sonal interests or ambition.
He needs not to make a canvass. He
has no rival for the party's highest
honor-no man dare dispute with him
for that high prize.

TT is kettle of fish The recent de-
cision OF the supreme court upsets
the law under which it was at
tempted to provide for special cleo
! tons for the purpose of raising, under
an extra levy, the amounts OF money
l required by the districts for the pur-
pose of supporting the public schools.
This decision handed down a week
ngo fairly took the publics breath
away 1t was predicted, however that,
yby one means or another. way out
of the trouble thus precipitated would
be found. School trustees throughout
the state have beeen trying to find a
lway of escape, but thus far no man
thas proposed plan whereby the
schools of the state can be kept in mo-
ton. II is true that a few districts
are safe. but not many of them are
in this happy condition.
Bungling legislation is to blame for
this serious turn of things. In the
attempt to get the school law relating
ITO these special elections into new
4 form. the legislature made botch job
of it, Dealing with the trouble, the
supreme court remarked that its duty
is to make legal the statutes that are
,on the books if that be possible, but
the court adds that it cannot take
upon itself the prerogatives of the leg
islature; at the same time, the court
cannot possibly say that the law in
question stands.
What to do? 1t is in fact diem
ma. Under the existing conditions
many of the school boards can meet
their expenses for a few weeks only.
1t looks like closed doors during the
most of the balance of the school year,
and that is an alternative which must
not be accepted.
This mornings special dispatches in
the Standard present the situation in
many Of the counties. In several of
them the demand is for an extraordn-
AIRY session of the legislature.
There is doubt whether resort to that
course will avail Manifestly the leg
islature cannot lift the state over the
trouble unless, in addition to putting
the school-levy legislation in shape,
provision be made for the collection,
this year, of the tax which might be
ordered. This special collection would
come high, even if it is authorized.
This is the most serious matter the
Montana public has had to deal with
since statehood came to us. The public
cannot reconcile itself to the idea of
closing the public schools. yet no way
of escape from that dire result, so far
as the Standard has heard, has been
proposed.

THE MINISTER PLAYS GOLF.

Its a noble game. an elegant game
The minister said to me,
AS he took his stand with his club in
hand.
While he smiled most cheerfully.
'Just watch me drive. it's an easy five!''
And he moulded a two-inch tee;
But he missed it clean-"Thats awfully
mean"
The minister said TO me.
"The greatest thing is an easy swing
And a carry through" said he;
Then he slammed the ground--'Well, I'll
be boundn'
The minister said to me.
''This turf is soft, so l think I'll loft
The minister said to me;
But he struck the wall and he lost his
ball
THAT'S very hard luck!' said he
He reached the green in about sixteen,
but 1t might be worse. said he:
Then he hit his foot in six-'nch put

three-mile walk,
And I've heard men foozle and miss;
But not in years has there reached my

n R. MCKINLEY has long been
M recognized as master of cpl

pressing beautiful sentiments and cor
rect principles, clearly, compactly and

general principle that no American de-

From the Houston Post.
If one fact has been revealed more
clearly than any other by the history
of this nation it is that in battles of
great stress and peril in the national
life, when the way seemed dark and
dire dangers confronted the republic.
some leader has been by the very force
of circumstances and the combination
of events developed to lead the people
and point the way to safety and deliv-
erance.
Thomas Jefferson seemed to have
been moved as if by divine inspiration
to write the declaration of independ-
ence and to formulate the plan of gov
eminent for the new republic which
was radical departure from all
known forms Of government.
Washington led the American army
to ultimate triumph where perchance
any other man would have failed.
Andrew Jackson, the man of rugged
and forcefui intellect and sublime NOR
al and physical courage, and with an
abiding faith in the people, throttled
the corrupt and defiant moneyed oil
garchy, the Vaccinations Of which
threatened the very existence of the
republic.
Abraham Lincoln, an almost I'M
known country lawyer, called to the
head of the government in the hour Of
direst peril wrought a work such as
no man dreamed possible at his hands,
and in four years rose from obscurity
to an immortality of fame.
But perhaps the proposition laid
down as having been proved by the
records of history was never more
strikingly illustrated than in the case
of William j. Bryan. ...."

its logic it scarcely rises above the
grade of school-boy defamation. If
the principle stated be correctly applied
1t is unassailable. Such a doctrine
enunciated by a soldier in the field will
commend itself to every patriotic
American heart. In such a case the de-
fender of the flag cannot stop to in
quire into the causes that led to the
conflict. His duty is simply to uphold
the flag and defend it against every foe.
The same is true of the civilian SO far
as the mere support Of the army and
actual defense of the flag are con-
cerned. So long as the army is re-
qured to fight, it should be sustained
with the whole power of the nation.
AT the same time every justice-loving
| citizen should look carefully into the
questions at issue and determine. If
possible, whether his country is right
or wrong in its policy If right it
| should be continued, if wrong it should
be changed.
Mr.. Mckinley persistently assumes
that "the flag can do no wrong" In
a sense that is true, because the flag,
being an irranimate thing, in and of it
self it can do nothing at all. But The
men who assume to be its especial!
guardians may do many things that
are wrong. Here is where Mr. McKin-
leys rhetoric fails to meet the specific
case. He first personifies the flag, takes
| the position that it can do nothing
| wrong. sets himself up as its especial
champion, and upon that basis de-
mands the political support of the peo-
| pie. Mr.. Mckinley undoubtedly is
| great on flags. All through the cam
| paign of 1896 he posed as the champion
Of the unstained purity of the flag, and
he has never lost the pose for day
| since his election.
