granted that the man who Is not content
with the pleasures and privileges OF
wealth but takes up the cudgels in their
behalf is trustworthy. 1t Is Mirabeau
and Orleans again. Johnson Is progress
sive, reforming, dissatisfied with present
conditions, anxious to replace them with
better.
Beneath its sloughing free silver skin
the Bryan democracy is a democracy OF
revolt and dissatisfaction. Bryan told it
that the gold standard was what troubled
1t, that free silver was what would cure
it. But the democracy knows Bryan to
be false prophet. Nevertheless it still
looks for prophet, still looks to the
future instead of the past. And Tom john
son will be it's prophet.
Those respectable old democrats who
still look for the coming Of a day when
the democracy will have no issue but free
trade might as we'll give up their hopes.
Their conservative old democracy with its
talk about Jefferson and government
with minimum powers, with its devotion
to individualism, its belief in laissez faire,
is gone forever. The new democracy,
fathered by Bryan, is a radical, somewhat
socialistic democracy and Tom Johnson
will be its leader.

The country boy signs for city life, and
when he finally reaches the goal, he besinu
to wish himself again among the birds and

CARDS himself lucky If he can get his feet

to acquire sufficient wealth to purchase land
on which to spend the declining years as
was the youthful struggle to get foothold

to block much legislation unwelcome to

President Approves List.

Washington, Feb. lO.-The president
has approved, with one notable exception,
all the recommendations made by the
army board of which General Macarthur
was president, for the bestowal of brevet
rank on all the officers of the army who
rendered especially meritorious service
during the war with Spain and in the
subsequent campaigns in the Philippines
and China. The exception noted is the
case of Theodore Roosevelt, who was
awarded the brevet of colonel and briga-
der general\ for distinguished services at
San Juan and Santiago. Under the law
these brevets require the confirmation oi
the senate, and the nominations have
been made out for transmission to that
body next week, but, as already stated
the list will not contain the name of the
president.
1t is expected that the medals of honor
ard the certificates of merit recommended
by the board for individual gallantry
which have also been approved by the
president will be announced at the wal
department next week These awards dc
not require the sanction of the senate.
