QUITE ENOUGH OF BRYAN"

1T must be evident to the supporters
of William Jennings Bryan--the writer
was one of them in the campaigns of
1896 and 1ooo-that the Nebraskan has
developed into political marplot and
nuisance, of whom the country is grow
ing awfully tired. The Bryan of today is
not the Bryan of eight years ago. Then
he was man of gentle temper and per-
feet self-pcssession, but having been
beaten in two presidential elections he
has become a man with grievance and
an insatiate appetite for revenge He be-
lieves, or rretends to believe, that every
man who did not blindly follow his
financial theory should be driven out of
the Democratic party, especially Grover
Cleveland, and those closely associated
with the ex-president'
~ & x
"As we have already remarked, the
Democratic party is getting tired of Mr..
Bryan and his deliberate mischief max
ing, and it is to be hoped that when the
next Democratic National Convention is
held he will be dumped overheard and
given an opportunity to Organize party
for his exclusive use It is as certain as
anything can be that the Democratic
party has quite enough of Mr.. Bryan,
that its exclusive use by him is no long
or n0ecih1a Ia l.
ing trouble for the Democracy that has
twice honored him, but in the end we are
quite sure the trouble will roost at his
own doors, The Bryan party of 1904 will
neither be formidable nor frightening
New Orleans States
QUITE ENOUGH OF CLEVELAND
In the same time and temper, as indi-
Gated by the excerpts from the New Or
leans, we may say that it is quite evident
that the Democratic party, the six mil
lion and more of Democrats who op-
posed the Cleveland Mckinley combine
and were steadfast. to Bryan and the
platform Of the party, are getting tired
Of Mr.. Cleveland, and it is about time he
was being dumped overheard The great
body of Democrats who fought for Bry-
an and Democratic principles when
Cleveland sulked and indirectly if not
directly aided and abetted in the sue
cess of Mckinley, have no confidence in
Cleveland and who will oppose his lead
ership of the party We do not think it to
be good policy to belitt1e Mr.. Bryan or
to strive to place him in false attitude.
Any and every such attempt will only in
cite retaliatory feeling towards Mr..
Cleveland and the others who, with him,
deserted the Democracy in the hour of
need, during the progress of the battle
against MCkinlcyiStn when Democracy
had the right to expect the loyal support
Of every man who claimed allegiance to
the party. It is not true that Bryan i,
Engaged i'll making trouble for the
Democracy, etc. He is simply directing
his influence II restrain and defeat the
Cleveland combii.ts which would control
the party, and in the same spirit we may
assert that the Cleveland party Of 1904
will neither be formidable nor frightcn-
ing" The Democrats, the six millions
and more who were loyal to Bryan and
the principles Of Democracy, have quite
enough Of Cleveland. 81

WRECK IN SANTA FE YARD.
Conductor Rowen Runs Pell Nell Into
-Four Empty Boz Cars.


Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock
Conductor Rowen, in charge of an
extra stock train. ran into four empty
box cars which we're standing in the
Santa Fe yards at this place on the
siding, and smashed them up pretty
badly.
Engineer Barney Gallagher, who
was at the throttle, intended to come
in on the passenger main track by the
new depot, which is their custom
when the track is not in use, that
track always being open.
For some reason, however, some
one had left the side track open, and
the engineer not seeing it in time to
check his train, ran on to the siding
at sufficient rate Of speed to knock
the empty box cars two and a hall
or three car lengths.
The cars were pretty badly dam
aged. but no one was hurt.

Extreme Conservatism a Curse.

Among the civic virtues Of North~Carolnians,
and they are many, our speakers and writer's have
referred for more than one hundred years to
particular characteristic with varying degrees of
emphasis. [ refer to our reputed conservatism.
AS frequent crimes against the individual and
society have been committed in the name of lib
erty, hypocrisy, dishonesty and license have
often stalked abroad in the garb of religion, so
have our shortcomings, delinquencies and politi-
cal and economic errors generally found a ready
excuse because of our alleged conservatism. A
bright if erratic writer has recently defined a
conservative as "a man who is too cowardly to
fight and too fat to run" But seriously may it
not be that the use of the term has degenerated
until it has come to mean, not holding to
the good until investigation and experience shall
show something better, but simply holding on
to the old because it is old and a rejection of the
new because of our indisposition to examine and
our aversion to change1HOn ohm H. Small in
address before Alumni Association at Trinity
College, Durham, n c., June 9, 1903.
The progressive farmer., 1903-06-23

which go to make up our social system bids fair
to be even fercer in it's activity than in the
tury which has just closed. IF during this cen
tury the men of high and fine moral sense show
themselves weaklings; if they possess only that
clustered virtue which shrinks shuddering from
contact with the facts of actual life; if they
dare not go down into the hurly-burly where the
men of might contend for the mastery; if they
stand aside from the pressure and conflict; then
as surely the rises and sets all of great
material progress, all the multiplication of the
physical agencies which tend for our comfort
and enjoyment, will go for naught and our ciVil-
zation will become brutal sham and mOckery.
If to do / believe we shall and will do,
if we are to advance in broad humanity, in kindli
ness, in the spirit of brotherhood exactly as we
advance in our conquest the hidden forces
of nature, it must be by developing strength in
virtue and virtue in strength, by breeding and
training men who shall be both good and strong
both gentle and valiant who scorn wrong
doing and who at the same time, have both the
courage and the strength to strive nightly for
the right. Wesley Said he did not intend to leave
all the good tunes to the service of the devil He
accomplished much for mankind because he
also refused to leave the stronger manlier quail
tie to be availed of only in the interest of evil.
The Church he founded has throughout it's career
been a Church for the poor as we'll as for the rich
and has known distinction Of persons. It has
been a Church whose members, if true to the
teachings of its founder, have sought for
greater privilege than to spend and be spent in
the interest of the higher life, who have prided
themselves, not shirking rough duty, but on
undertaking it and carrying it to a successful
conclusion.-From President Roosevelt's address
to New York Methodists, Wesley Bi-centennial
Celebration.

Difficult as it is to formulate, every thoughtful
man knows that the general tendency of great
corporations is to secure by the mere pressure
of their power, leaving out of consideration all
cases of criminal intent, advantages that an ideal
democracy must deny them. A giant, unless he
be an unnaturally gentle giant, gets larger share
of the sidewalk than he is fairly entitled to, sim
plv because he is a giant-Walter II. Page.
