ceeding nominal republics, and both
teach the same lesson: that when lib
erty has degenerated into license, when
the tyranny Of the mob has become
more intolerable than any possible tyr
amy OF the individual. when all the
safeguards of life and property have
been swept away and mere mob vio-
lence has taken the place of the settled
forms Of government. the people are
in a frame of mind to welcome the die
tator or imperator who Is able and
willing to restore order out of chaos.
Taking these historical precedents, II
is easy to perceive that IL the empire
ever threatens the people Of the Unit
ed States, 1t win come as consequence
OF the theories which Mr.. Bryan ad-
vances ACCIDENTALLY being put into
practical operation by the men who
accept them literally. Bryan devotes
the major part OF his naturally fine
talents to the task Of persuading a por-
ton OF the people that, under a gov
eminent in which every man has a
share and an equal voice. they are be-
ing unfairly treated; that they are the
victims OF class conspiracy; that the
object of ali OF those who have acquir-
ed competence Is to reduce the wage
earners to a condition of servitude:
that In some mysterious manner the
proceeds OF their labors are being alb
sorbed by others. and that they are
not receiving a fair share Of what they
have actually earned. Accepting his
premises, and perceivipg that he offers
no remedies of practical value for the
conditions which he portrays, men
whose passions are aroused naturally
and inevitably will turn to the teach
ers Of anarchy, who advance the same
premises as does Mr.. Bryan. but who
do pretend to offer remedy In the
striking down of all existing forms OF
government.
There is little fear that the intelli-
gent American people will ever under
present conditions accept the teachings
of Mr.. Bryan, or OF the anarchstic
propaganda, which Is little way fur
Their along the road which he is at
present travelling. II they ever do ac-
cept these doctrines and teachings, and
seek to carry them into practical ef-
feet. the empire will come by the his
toric road OF first lapse into anarchl-
cal disorder.

Wanted, a Story-Maker.

The September number OF Harper's
Magazine contains tale by Paul
Leicester Ford which Is interesting
from the fact that IL is perhaps the
tritest bit OF fiction a great periodical
has offered to the public for years. 1t
is the kind of story which everybody
now living and reading has perused
from 600 to 1000 times. 1t is all about
the rich girl who is tired of the society
man and whose brougham Is guided by
the finger of Providence until 1t runs
over a newsboy to the good end that
the purposeful hospital inferno and the
rich girl may meet and love at first
sight.
IT Is a question, OF course, as
destroy great numbers of newsboys to
bring about this result In a truly eco
nomical state OF society some less ex-
pensive means of matchmaking would
be devised, but the badly damaged
newsboy Is an artiflce hallowed by time
and use. and doubtless the author was
reluctant to discard him on that ac-
count II you are writing an old. old
story It is well to stick to the time-hon-
ored models--but why write the old sto-
ries over again? In spite Of the venera-
BILE statement that the tales have all
been told, new, crisp. sparkling ones are
being written every day by people who
have not half OF MT Ford's ability or
knowledge of the world. There are
plenty OF new stories for those who care
to write them. 1t Is all a question Of
what one wishes to do. r. d. Aldrich
observed in a recent essay that there
is always a heavy demand for fresh
mediocrity. The least cultivated tastes
always have the largest appetites."
II is easy to understand why hack
writer's with their living to make should
choose to purvey for these tastes, but
It is difficult to understand what a man
OF talent who is not driven by the spur
of necessity is doing in this particular
branch of literary catering. and II Is
harder still to follow what a Ladies'
Home journal story Is doing in one OF
the great magazines. Can II be that
the wave OF mediocrity Is about to over
take and overwhelm us al7

Ravapcs OF BryanitIs.

The saddest case OF Bryanitis on rec
ord is that OF the Louisville Courier
Journal. The editor has explained
frankly the business considera tons that
compelled its change OF attitude, and
the public pities and rardons him. But
the mere fact OF supporting Bryan seems
to throw the sanest man completely off
his mental balance. Here is a portion
OF the Courier-Journars editorial ad-
dress to the Kentucky legislature, cali
ed In special session TO do something
with the infamous Goebel law:
