nopolized most of the time at the board

new words to repeat the old story. lie
succeeded in impressing upon his hear
ers the fact that the Chicago platform
must stand forever because those who
are opposed to any of its planks will
never be admitted to another conven-
tion. If only those who are satisfied
with the platform are to be allowed to
enter into the deliberations of the party
it is easy enough to see that there will
never be any change. Mr.. Bryan's re-
iterations to this effect we're greeted
with applause for the simple reason
that. by edict of the 16 to / dictator,
none who disagreed with this opinion
were admitted to the feast.

Tanned THE HUMM1NGB1RD.
The Little Feathered Visitor Made =

CaptOr.

Mr.. William Wicke, grocer at the
corner of Lake street and Harlem ave-
nue., Oak Park, is the proud possessor
of tanned hummingbird, which flew
into his place of business few weeks
ego, says a Chicago paper.
Mr.. Wicke and his family were much
delighted to see such a bright assort-
ment of colors come fitting in the win
dow, and decided to make the bird their
prisoner. Mr.. Wicke at once started to
train the new member of the family by
placing honey in some flowers which
were in the show window. 1t took the
bird but short time to know what
sweets the flowers contained, and it
soon flew down from its abode on one
of the shelves and devoured the honey
as if realizing that it lad found a home
which completely answered all the re-
quirements Of hummingbird life. Az
its education progressed, the bird
learned to eat honey from the end Of
Mr.. Wicke's finger, whenever the
grocer dipped his digit in that sac

bird drew many people to Mr.. Wicke's
store, and proved, finally, that UNDER
meath the brilliant plumage of the gen
tle-looking little creature there exists
a strain of jealousy and fighting blood.
1t was not brought out until woman
visited the store wearing hat in the
trimming of which nestled an artistic

real thing" no sooner saw the imita-
ton, than the hat became ring, in
which was fought pitched battle, as
intense as the humming bird could
make it.
When the fight was over, the store
was full of feathers and the woman full
of wrath. Her anger was only plaeated
when pay was offered for the damage,
and she 'saw the ludicrous side of the
unusual battle-

Rather Be Heard Than Be
President.

The Detroit Tribune has become
tired of William Jennings Bryan. 1t
was the only republican paper east Of
the Mississippi river that supported Mr..
Bryan in 1896. Its utterances on the
subject therefore are pertinent. and it
voices its sentiments SO discriminating
ly that we deem it worth quoting in
the columns of the REVIEW.
THAT William Jennings Bryan
would rather be heard than be presi-
dent is a fact which became apparent
very shortly after the election of 1896.
The result of that contest left him tue
logical leader of the democracy for the
succeeding presidential campaign, but
almost everything he has done since
that time has tended to cheaper him
in the public estimation. His first step
toward pleasing his enemies was taken
when he published his i'll considered
book, 1.-The First Battles" the second
when he undertook a lecture tour, from
which course he was finally and with
difficulty persuaded by older and more
dignlfied leaders of the silver forces; a
third error, or rather series of errors,
comprises his military record, includ-
ing the talk which preceded his ac-
ceptance Of a volunteer commission
and his anti-expansiOn speech, de-
livered after he had donned the uni
form. His latest folly comes in the
form of another excursion in author
ship, book soon to be placed on the
market, which is devoted to argument
against the retention of the Philippine
islands-a question settled some time
since.
'.lt is largely by courtesy and in re-
cOgnitiOn of the intentions rather than
the achievements of the author that
we say the book is devoted to argu-
ment, for, from the advance notices
to base his opposition on moral and con-
stitutlonal grounds. The constitution
al argument is too flimsy to engage the
attention Of serious men, and as for
the moral argument, it has never been
known to have weight with any people
where question of territorial, com
mercial or political expansion was con-
cerned. To discuss it as political is-
sue is to give evidence of an impracti-
cal mind.
There may be sound arguments
against the Administrations policy with
regard to the Philippine archipelago.
but they are not to be found in Bryan's
book, if his advertisers have given us
the substance of his essay. The only
question to be answered is whether the
annexation of the Philippines is pro
fitable venture for the United States
and it is not at all certain that we
haven't gone too far already to make
that inquiry pertinent. But what Mr.
Bryan thinks and says is unimportant
anyhow. Since he has sold bis birth
right for mess of notoriety it is per
haps fortunate that he goes far enough
to thoroughly eliminate himself from
the problem of 1900"

W. M. Burdick of the PostvilIe Re-

w. M. Burdick of the PostvilIe Re-
view writes an article on the oath an
niversary of his editorship. There is
something almost pathetic in the brief
story of these years. Mr.. Burdick is
man of great intellectual force and
vigor. His editorial writings are
models of literary style and show a
philosophy mellowed by years Of ex-
perience with the ups and downs of
life and with the difficult problem of
human nature. The pathetic side is
that had this man who is far above the
average in ability, engaged in almost
any other pursuit he would probably
after twenty-four years of labor have
been in affluent circumstance, but such
is the nature of the newspaper busl-
ness which is far more give than take,
that he finds himself but little richer
than he was almost quarter of a CEN
fury ago. We have noticed that it is
usually the poor newspaper which
makes the most money; the paper
which subordinates everything to the
counting room and has no other aim in
view. IL is the most difficult problem
of country journalism to publish good
paper and paying paper at the same
time. We trust that the remaining
years of Editor Burdicks labors may be
crowned with the success he so richly
deserves.

A Feast of Unreason.
Sioux City Journal. J

The Chicago platform democracy,
5000 strong, ate, drank, and complain
ed according to programme in New
York on Saturday evening. 1t was a
most unique spectacle. In the midst of
laughing plenty, with honest dollars
jingling in every pocket. these pessi-
mistic ones gathered from far and wide
to voice the doctrine of discomfort. In
the whole assemblage it is safe to say
that every man had a job-except Mr..
Belmont, who is so wealthy that he
doesn't need one, and Mr.. Bryan, who
has so much to say that he doesn't
want one. With the banks of the
country running over with money; with
factories working night and day; with
all honest men who are willing aad
able to work, employed, with wages
going up and the general level of values
40 per cent higher than in 1896, these
apostles OF calamity focked together
and tried to persuade themselves that
the country was going to the dogs.
The proceedings were as absurd as
the ensemble. The hero of the occa-
sion was a man who had been weighed
and found wanting in a contest with
every condition in his favor. And vet
the band played "Hail to the Chief''
when Bryan appeared. The principles
that he espoused were rejected by the
people at a time when Industrial con-
ditions were such as to encourage the
hopes of their acceptance, if there was
ever to be such hope. And yet these
disproved and discarded theories were
applauded as loudly by this unique as
semblage as if the case had not been
tried and the verdict had not been
against them. With the common
wealth well and hearty again the pro-
posed prescription for the cure of i'm.
aginary national disease was accepted
enthusiastically. While the hearts of
all loyal Americans are beating high
with the thought of what America is
accomplishing for the ultimate good of
a far away people, these unrepresenta-
tive GROWERS cheered the suggestion
that the United States was bully for
doing what it has done.
There was nothing notable about the
orat0ry at this feast of unreason. 1t
was all plate matter that has been used

Music in the Schools.
ESTABLISHED 1855. J

Music in the Schools.
AS the time is approaching for the
annual meeting of our school board to
decide upon the policy of our schools it
may not be out of place to make a sug-
gestion along educational lines. 1t is
not long since vocal music has been in
troduced into our public schools and
there are many instances where marked
advancement has been made and an ac-
complishment given to many of the
children which will give an added JOY
to life during all the years to come.
We believe in singing. the man or wo
man who sings has an added means of
giving thanks to God and nature. 1t
is a sign of glad heart and healthy
mind; it is solace in hours of grief
and added happiness in times of glad
ness.
1t is, however, a painful fact that
singers. like poets, are born and not
made. There are some who simply can
not sing. There is no music in their
souls and the plaintive note of the loco
motive whistle is equally as charming
and melodious to them as Beethoven's
Moonlight Sonata. There are those
who love music, but whose voices are
as harsh and discordant as the dismal
cry of the rusty saw as it works its
weary way through a pine knot.
1t is a blessing that some people even
little people, know that they cannot
sing, in fact we have often wished that
more of those who cannot sing were
aware of their limitations. These peo-
pie who cannot sing and who know it,
should be encouraged, and this is where
we believe the school board could make
a wise move by taking vocal music from
the list of compulsory exercises.
We have known men and women to
succeed in life and even to acquire a
moderate amount of wealth and happi-
ness, who could not sing a single note,
and we believe this may fprove to be
true of our Denison youth.
During the past year there has been
some trouble in our public schools on
account of pupils not wishing to join in
the singing. AS long as singing was
compulsory and refusal to participate
was breach of discipline it was obvi-
onsly the duty of the superintendent
and teachers to see that the rule was
enforced. But let the rule be done
away with. the public school is the com
mon heritage of every American child
aud it should not be taken away from
any one because nature has not provid
ed melodious voice or an ear for music
and because the afflicted ono is fortu
nate enough to know it. If the singing
exercises are made pleasant the schol
ars will gladly join, and if they do no,
no school board has the moral right tt
deprive them of their opportunity te
obtain an education on account of thai
fact. We are not opposed to voice cul
ture in our schools, but we do feel thai
it is an outrage to deny boy the chance
to learn to read and write because hi
refuses to life up his discordant voice
in song.

Wild and uncouth, but to me most
welcome, was the sight and sound Of

half drunk, refused to talk business uA-

a nonresident, would not arrive sooner.
There was nothing for 1t but to spend
the night and get what amusement !

The village teemed with people, all
dressed in fantastic garb. the men wear

Meanwhile bottles of pisco, the vile
native drink, circulated freely and soon
everybody, musicians and dancers
alike, fell under It's horrid influence.
Midnight came, and Christmas had ar
rived. But there in the shadow of the
church these Aymaras, nominally
Christians and awaiting their priest,
were actually celebrating-aAI I after

Inca-religious festivals which falls

good man to me q little later over a
