Mr.. Bryan n Delegate:

May we expect Mr.. Bryan to head the
Nebraska delegation to the next demo-
cratic national convention? While insisting
that he has no designs on his party's presi-
Dental nomination in 1884, he urges with
unabated vehemence that his platform is
essential to the countrys welfare, and that
the movement in democratic circles to set
it aside is most serious mistake. The
struggle for supremacy will come at the
national convention, and the strongest men
in the party opposed to Bryanism Will un-
doubtedly be present. Can Mr.. Bryan in
such circumstances afford to make his fight
by proxy? Napoleon's presence on the field
of action was reckoned as equivalent to
fifty thousand Frenchmen.
If Mr.. Bryan goes to the convention 1t
will not be difficult to place him. He will
be a member of the committee on resolu-
tioEs. and he will find there the pick of
both factions. There will be no Van Wycks
substituted for David B. Hills at the
caprice of local bosses, but the best men
will be put forward by both sides and
battle royal indulged in. Mr.. Bryan will
of course lead his side, and whatever of
strength may remain to that for which he
stands will be brought into play. He has
skill of fence as well as fiuency of state
virtually for his life against virile combi-
nation he would find occasion for every
resource at his command.
But there is this to be considered. If
Mr. Bryan goes to the convention and Par
tiCipates in its proceedings he will be
bound by its actions no matter how antag-
onistic to him and his principles they may
be. That little matter of a bolt which has
more than once been suggested, will be
Knocked the head. For of course Mr..
Bryan could not afford to turn, after fair
defeat in convention, and either openly op-
pose the nominees or sulk in his tent. He
is on record as denouncing such conduct on
the part of the gold democrats in 1896 in
maybe the most picturesque language ever
employed by a party leader toward those
who had denied his authority. Were he to
bolt or sulk he would take his place along
side David Il. Hill and Grover Cleveland
two men whom he holds in extreme dis
favor
The fight now is on Organism. There is
such a thing. and the Nebraska leader in
his latest interview confesses it. He uses
the word himself Who so capable of de-
Tending that ism as it's author? Who so
thoroughly understands or represents it
as he? What lieutenant of his could hope
to take his place, either in committee room
or on the floor of the convention hail. and
give the opposition such a tussle as the
occasion will demand?

The English language of the summer of
1901 does not appear to give universal sat
isfaction. The last critic to make out
cry in print against it is a Professor Shep
herd in Baltimore. With a great many
other things he says:
1T is a notable fact that the most vicious
and depraved type of English in existence
is that which is characteristic of the mod
ern specialist in philology. In the style of
this school we seem almost to have sounded
the abysmal deep. Still. let us not indulge
in precipitate generalization, bearing al
ways in mind the height beyond the height
and the deep below the deep Our speech
is threatened by the complex causes which
We have merely indicated-social. educa-
tional, ecclesiastical. This way danger
lies
Any man who talks like that makes him
self liable to be misunderstood. But then
'let not indulge in precpitate generali-
zation." but bear always in mind the
height beyond the height and the deep be-
low the deep"

Bill Board Regulations.
From the Washington Financial Review.

rom tne w aShfngtOn Financial Review.
We agree heartily with the Evening Star
concerning it's suggestions to the District
Commissioners that they prescribe police
regulations concerning the further jndis-
criminate erection of bill boards through
out the city. While there is perhaps no
one better method of advertising certain
classes of goods or amusements than by
bill boards, yet, on the other hand this
method of advertising has taken on such
proportions and has become so objection
able in many that some regulation
pertaining to them must be adopted.
The practice of building unsightly bill
boards in residential sections has become
such nuisance that vigorous protests
have from time to time been filed without
any apparent result.
The interests of the city demand that
it's general appearance shall no longer be
disfgured by the present unregulated bill
board system. We believe that If the Com
miSsioners were to make a test case the
courts would sustain them in their stand
against the further extension of bill board
advertising within the city limits. and at
the same time uphold them in whatever
reasonable regulations they might enforce
concerning their size. location and perhaps
even the kind of advertising to be placed
upon them by our city bill posters.

The desire for change of date springs
primarily from the fact that the weather
chances on March are too menacing. Ex-
perience has taught that great outdoor
celebration on that date is dangerous.
Many lives have been sacrificed on this
account 1t is certain that unless change
occurs either in the date or In the GUS
toms attending the ceremony of changing
Presidents the death roll will continue to
swell quadrennially in consequence. 1t is
believed by the people of Washington. and,
judging from recent expressions elsewhere,
by multitudes of other citizens as we'll.
that this sacrifice is too heavy and that
the public safety demands a choice between
the alternatives of change to a later date
or simplification of the ceremonies. There
is apparently no disposition whatever to
choose the latter course. The incidentals
of an Inauguration have become too dear
to the American heart.
Thus the consensus of opinion Is that
shifting to a later date is the only IA
tional course, whatever the legal difficult
ties may be. April 30 suggests itself i'm
mediately the most appropriate selec-
tion because on that day George Washing
ton was inaugurated as first President and
the date has therefore acquired special
significance in the popular mind. It's his
toric associations are quite as potent as
those which have attached to March 4,
substituted casually In the early readjust-
ments of the national chronology. The
popular will seems decided that if this
present date is abandoned it shall be for
the significant April 80, which may be re-
garded as one of the republics foundation

was once a supporter of an intelligent in
depreciation of the pension laws he Is now
the prop and mainstay of the opposite pol
icy. He has completely reversed himself,
as he did forty years ago, but, unlike his
action of that day. his present action has
led him from the good side to the bad.
He is leading forces which were they to
prevail would injure the government and
the Grand Army of the Republic as well.
The country wishes for successful meet

The Output of New Books.

There is widespread disposition to COM

claimed that publishers no longer exercise
the discrimination which at one time made
the names of certain houses reliable
guarantees of the quality Of their out

see the light of day. But the responsible
ity for their survival is placed where it be-
longs-with the reading public. The liber-
ality with which printers facilities are Of
fered to aspiring pens is proof of the re-
wards which await the writer who can
either by ingenuity or scholarship enlist

willingness of publishers to discover and
encourage talent. The present is a reading

Labor Day,

The day set apart for the workers of
America to call distinctively their own has
become recognized institution, estab-
Hshed now upon a firm basis of both law
and custom. Labor day observance has un-
doubtedly had a wholesome influence upon
the economic situation. 1t has served to
bring labor a distinctive SOCIOLOGICAL
factor more definitely into it's true place
as co-equal item in the industrial world
to cause the members of it's various organi-
cations to realize more fully both their op-
p0rtunities and their responsibilities and to
tend to bring about that readjustment of
relations which is demanded by the welfare
of the community at large.
Such readjustment need not necessarily
involve great changes of fact or revolutions
of system. 1t will be based primarily upon
an unrestricted recognition by both sides in
the great economic equation of the supreme
truth that each is absolutely necessary to
the other, and that the ultimate interests
or one are the interests of the other also
Organization has unquestionably aided in
this process 1t has brought evils, to be
sure, strikes without adequate cause vio-

unreasoning opposition by employers. But
the net results are undeniably good; good

labor The organization principle, properly
directed and developed. must raise each in

ties. When narrowly Interpreted and ap-
piled by incompetent leaders it may--and
often has-resulted in restriction and con-
sequent retrogression. But the tendency is
distinctly upward and therefore for the
