afford to ignore In the school of po-
litical reforms Bryan has made first
class and most successful teacher Of the
primary grades.
This work has to be done before the
voters are fitted to enter the more adj
vanced grades of Populism or Socialism.
Bryan has been power for good in
the political kindergarten, and for his
valuable services there he merits some
measure of our approval. Bryan
frowned upon the Populists of more ad
vanced grades, and the nation turned
him down.
We. are glad he is going to edit
paper, because in his paper logic and
sound sense counts rather than oratory.
We know he has oratory, and his pa
per will soon show whether he possesses
the other qualifications of great
teacher In his speeches he could ad
vocate free silver in the West and anti
Imperialism in the East. He could give
special prominence to one issue in the
North,s and to something else in the
South. In his paper he cannot edit
special edition for each section of the
country. He must stand or fall by his
declarations as a whole.
Geo. F. Washburne, of our national
committee, advocates union of all re-
formers in 1904, to be led by the man OF
the hour. He believes Bryan is that
man. We approve his proposition, but
we do not believe that Bryan has yet
shown himself broad enough to be that
man. The man of the hour in 1904 must
stand for scientific money; he must
stand for a large measure of public
ownership, and he must stand for direct
legislation. Bryan can never be it until
he cuts loose from the old-line Demo-
cats and publicly so announces.
We shall give Bryan full credit for all
the good he may do, and hope he may ad-
vance along the grade. His opportun-
ity is great, and the nation will watch
to see whether he is up to this oppor-
tunity. E. A. T.

Indirect Taxes.

We all howl about Rockefeller, Ar
mour, Carnegie, and the rest of that
kind of monopilists, but few consider
that the most dangerous because the
is J. Pierpont Morgan. He is absorbing
one industry after another, and will
be king of the United States soon. Only
last week it was reported that the
Pennsylvania Coal company is now un
der his control he having purchased the
controlling interest, and made an offer
for the remainder of the stock at 1915
q share par value of which is $50.
At that rate it will not be long until
one man can dictate the price of our
COAL In fact, it is more than likely that
he does it now And yet we think taxa
ton without representation is unjust.
The trick is in the manner in which
the tax is levied.
A later dispatch from Philadelphia
contains this bit Of information: 1T
is said that the next move by J. P. Nor
gan & Co. in the coal business will be
the purchase of the interests of Coke
Bros. & Co. in the Hazleton fields.

REFORMED.

We deem it unnecessary to make any
formal announcement of papers flu
tIre policy. 1t would be difficult for any
editor to write weekly for a paper for
over three years, as we have done for
the Representative, and conceal his
policy. The man who could do that
would be rightly considered a man with
out policy. A man without a policy
is worse off than a man without party.
When this paper advocates direct legis-
lation, as it often has and will con-
tlnue to do. we leave the reader to name
the policy and classify us as he likes
He may call us Populist or Socialist,
o. a plain reformer, and it will not
change the fact that we stand for direct
legislation. When we advocate gov
eminent ownership and scientific money
we grant the same latitude to those who
wish to name our policy. We believe
the readers OF this paper are more inter-
ested in economic and reform principles
than they are in politics and parties, and
the paper is at the service OF its readers,
and asks their hearty and best sup
port. E.. A. T.

THE COMING OF MERRIAM.

w. r. Merriam, superintendent of the
census. and ex-governor of Minnesota, ar
rived in st. Paul yesterday Though he
asserted that his presence was a mere ac-
cident and that he expected to return to
Washington this morning, the skeptical
politicians refused to believe him. 1t goes
against the grain to have to express lack
Of faith in Mr.. Merriam's spoken word,
but the wise ones believe that his presence
in st. Paul is a part Of the reported Pier
pont Morgan Hanna Hill-Lowry deal
The story goes among those who have
worked out satisfactory Interpretation of
Mr.. Merriam's visit, that Hanna, it being
assumed that Pierpont Morgan has fixed up
a-peace between Hill and Lowry, asked Mer-
Ram to take flying trip to Minnesota and
endeavOr to get all his friends in line for
Lowry. AS many Of Merriam's friends are
ostensibfy Clapp men, the task is delicate
one, but not impossible. It IL agreed that
