THERE Is something significant In
the municipal election in st, Louis be-.
sides the mere election Of gold demo.
crat as mayor lnthat contest Wells
who was elected received i9Ol2 votes,
Parker republican received "a $40 and
Merrlweasher, a democrat on national
issues received 3O,56S running on a
municipal ownership ticket. While
the reorgan2ers calling themselves
democrats md pandering to corporate
Interests are very gleeful over the re-
suits they may do well to heed the
warning of Mr.. Bryan and lookout
for the fellows who headed that muni-
cipal ownership ticket snd received
very nearly as many votes as the re.
publican candidate. 1t is not impossi.
BILE that this may be q forerunner Of a
national campaign in the not very far
distant future.

Whoever reads The Commoner, Mr..
Bryan's paper cannot but have a higher
estimate Of the man, unless his own
soul Ia too sordid and carkered to ap-
preclate anything that is not tlnctured
with the lusts of the flesh. 1t seems
that In Bryan alone almost, Of all the
public leaders Of today, is there strong
deep running current that carries with
1t strong ideas Of justice and moral
obligation, His editorial are like SET
mons. Hisspeeches have much Of the
same tore. 1t is for this reason per-
haps that he is 80 disliked by those
who are engaged in nefarious business
which he exposes, II seems to be the
usual order Of procedure with public
men of this day to lay the ground work
Of their attack In expedlency. Bryan
founds his processes upon right, and
an enemy always dislikes to spar over
rights and wrongs with an enemy thSt
Is bold enough to assert that he is
wrong not merely circumstantially but
morally. This country is not likely to
soon again have q leader of so high a
type, lie Is too good a man to be re-
warded with offices 1t is not the man
who talks Of rights, and exposes evils,
who lays open injustice and denounces
public wrongs that secures reward
from the people and Is heaped with Of
Gcial honors, The man who gets these
things Is he who sneaks and schemes,
forms cabals and intrigues, tells the
peop'e about their great goodness and
the perfectness of things, and stands
In with the powers that are getting the
sweets out Of eur institutions as they
are. But after time has turned to clay
the mortal bodies of all men now on
this stage Of action the genuine worth
and real greatness Of the one and the
parasitic smalness and worthlessness
of the other will be made visible to
man

IT now seems quite probable that a

In many other respects beside the
troubles In the Philippines tho empire
business does not start out very hu-
spiciously, Conditions In Porto Rico
are far from gratifying TO anyone who
has a care for human welfare. There
Is no trouble oyer Tevoution or im-
pending revolutions, The case is past
that, 1t Is impossible TO tell the exact
status but II Is generally agreed by all
who have been there that 1t is bad.
Petitions coming from the island to
the president for aid describe working
population as starving to death and
men who have not the courage TO see
their brothers and sisters and mothers
starve before their eyes resort to sui
eide, Great numbers of the popula-
tion have been emlgrating and are be-
Ing picked up by sugar barons of Ha-
wall and shipped on contract system.
On the way, shipboard, they have been
frequently reported as mistreated and
starved, Considering that we went to
these people with bright and bland
promises of freedom and emancipation
from Spanish thraldom these things
are not pleasautreadlng, But perhaps
we are over sensitive about such trlles.
1t Is the way the world wags, always
has wagged, and always will wag, We
ought not to think about such things
but get out and shout for Funston, and
killing Fillpinos and glory. That's
patriotic, That's loyalty.

is said that II the convention does not
accept the amendment before the time
the president starts on his western
junket he will instruct General Wood
to dissolve the convention. The con-
ventlon will probably refuse to dis
solve, Wood as military governor
will use the military and that will
cause q revolution, That is what the
administration wants. They are look

most of the large influential demo-

Drawings by Gibson.

The volume of drawings by Charles
Dana Gibson which is issued this year
by r. H. Russell presents all of the at
fractions for which we have learned to
look in Gibson's work.
The book contains eighty-four draw
ings, half of which form a series repre-
senting the courting of a beautiful young
widow by a large circle of admirers. The
widow makes her first appearance when
she is still overcome with grief at the
loss of her husband. She seeks one di-
version and then another as distraction
from sorrow and in stime re-enters soci-
ETY.. But, although there is offered her
pleasure in plenty and many lovers as
WELL she makes her escape from the
world and takes refuge In a convent,
where she appears charming as ever and
still worshiped at a distance by her
faithful Swains.
The remaining drawings illustrate the
foibles of different sorts and conditions
of men and women. We still find among
Gibsons characters. if they may be
called so, the stately girl whom he has
made famous. But we find. too, as time
goes on, that Gibson can draw not only
fair women and good looking men, but
people interesting for their peculiar traits
of form or feature. The value of Glib
sons work is enhanced, as he adds to his
surety of touch a better appreciation of
the differences of temperament which dis
tinguish even persons Of the same general
type.
The beauty and daintiness of the vol
une must make it, like its predecessors,
a leading favorite among holiday books.

NaNace Erwin.

Wallace Irwin, a young San Franciscan,
whose verses in lighter vein have already
caught the publics fancy, now comes
forth with a book that out up-to-dat
them all-"The Love Sonnets of a Hood
lum." Mr.. Irwin has taken the highest
form known to lyric writer's and with due
regard to all the mechanical convention
alities and requirements of the sonnet,
gone to work with an impassioned ardor
that gives even the Letters of an Eng
lishwoman" an icy appearance and ma kes
the slang of George AIDES fables look like
the English of college professor.
From a glance at the advance sheets
it is safe to say that the book will make
a hit. Through the twenty-five sonnets
runs the story of the love of Willie for his
Mame-a sad tale of woe expressed in
more slang than even the American Ian
guage has been credited to possess. Here
is the third sonnet which shows the gem
tleman's remarkable ideas concerning the
wearing apparel that should win the heart
of his inamorita:
AS follows is the makeup I shall buy
Next week, when from the boss pull my pay:
A white and yellow zg-zag cutaway,
A sunset-colored vest and purple tie
shirt for vaudeville and something fly
In gunboat shoes and half-hose the gay.
I'll get some green shoe-laces, by the way
Then shall 1 shine and be the great main

The Oklahoma wonder. the whole cheese,
