The Outlook for December 10 con-
tains an article contributed by Will
liam ]. Bryan on the future of the
Democratic party, which is worthy OF
careful reading and serious considera-
ton by all interested in political af-
fairs. Mr.. Bryan's absolute sincerity,
his faith in himself and the principles
he stands for makes him the strongest
individual character in American pub
lie life. At this time we can look up
on him and what he says without con-
sidering him in the light of a candidate
or party leader. He may never
again be the candidate of his party,
but there is no gainsaying that he is
the most popular leader in this coun-
try today. The Outlook has the fol-
lowing terse and direct comment in
reference to Bryan:
'N1r. Bryan's style is characteristic
of the man. 1t is the style of one who
has thought out the problems of the
hour to Il conclusion, whose conclu-
sions are based not on political ex-
pediency but on ethical principles, and
! who has therefore the courage of his
convictions, the courage which makes
him as ready to avow them after over
whelming defeat as in the hour of
battle and in hope of victory. Who,
for example, of his most bitter op-
ponents can fail to admire the spirit
which in defeat dictates this para
graph:
eff l were going to coin a new
proverb to fit this case, it would run
like this: Envy not the prosperity of
the evil doer. 1t cannot last AS
well envy the success of the horse
thief after he has come into possession
Of a stolen horse, and before the trans
gressor is overtaken by the officers of
the law, as to envy man, party, or
Il nation after Il temporary triumph,
and before immutable law has had
time to operate
"There is no misunderstanding Mr.
Bryan. He does not guard his affirma-
lions with so many qualifications that
no man can guess what he really af-
| firms, nor leave loop-holes for retreat
in case his doctrines fail to find add
herents, nor use words in 4 double
sense, nor employ them to obscure
his meaning, nor put on semblance
! of wisdom and morality by indulgence
in general platitudes. He is clear,
definite, positive, concrete. The in
telligent and honest reader can easily
understand his meaning. Whether he
will be the Democratic candidate in
| 1908, OF even the Democratic leader in
the interim, it is too early to prophesy
| But it cannot be doubted that he is
the clearest and ablest exponent, if not
of opinions entertained, at least Of a
political spirit and purpose shared, by
a very great number of American citi-
Zens, and so the representative of Il
| political force which must be reckon
ed with, and if reckoned with must be
| understood. A clearer statement Of
that spirit and purpose the public are
not likely to get from any quarter for
some time to come.

There is some talk that Roosevelt
is about to oppoint Charles ]. Bona
parte to cabinet position. Well, Mr..
Bonaparte is able to fill most any posi-
ton. And it would be an excellent
thing for the president to convince the
country that Postmaster Wynne's ap'
pointment for such a short time i'm
mediately preceding election was not
q sop to the Catholic vote.

James Jeffrey Roche, the poet"
says the Chicago Record Herald, "is
to be appointed United States consul
at Genoa, Italy. Mr.. Roche is the gen.
tleman who, in laudatory poem about
the president made "south" rhyme

Roosevelt feels compelled to reward
such fearless enthusiasm"

JEST AND STORY.

Promissory Notes.-It is said that q
man whose musical talent was as:
widely known as his impecunious con-
dition once accosted friend on the
street, drew him into doorway, and
requested loan of twenty-five dol
lars.
when do you think you'll be able
to repay it?' asked the friend, to-
whom it was by no means new ex-
perience.
'"This time" said the ready bor~
rover, with an engaging smile. II
hoped you'd be willing to make it
Kathleen Mavourneen' loan.'
"a what?" demanded the practical
man.
"a Kathleen Mavourneen' loan,"
said his expensive friend. 'sIt may
be for years, and it may be forever"
"My boy" said Texan man to his;
son, who was starting out for an east
ern city, 'let me tell you something
which may be of help to you. You
get up there and you'll see heap of
people who have more money thar
you-a heap of people that have got
more brains than you have, and more
success. Some Of them may even be-
better looking than you are. Don't
you be worried about that and don't be-
scared of anybody. Whenever YOU
meet man who allows he's your SUI.
perior, you just look at him and say,
After all, you're just folks You
want to remember for yourself, too,
that you're just folks. After you have
lived as long as I have and knocked
around the world you'll learn that's
all any Of us is-just folks"
There are plug horses, plug hats and
plug men.
Food for thought is to be found iu
empty cupboards.
Next door neighbors can pick flaws
in the perfect man.
There are no game laws to handf~

another man who is easy to work.

The official returns Of The poll in the
state of New York at the late election,
only the counties of Oneida and Rich
mond being unofficial, give Mr.. Roose-
Welt S59562 votes to 6S3,9S1 for Mr..
Parker, a Roosevelt plurality of 175
5S1, as against the Mckinley plurality
in 1900 of 143,6O6. Mr.. Roosevelt's
poll was greater than Mr.. NIcKinley's
by 1850 and Mr.. Parker's was great
er than Mr.. Bryan's by 1886. The ag-
gregate poll of the two was 1,543543
as compared with an aggregate for Mr.
Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan in 1900 o
1,500,37s. The percentage of increase
between the two elections was not sc
great as usual, but the diminutio,
was not large enough to suggest thai

The Irish standard., 1904-12-17
fundamental law of our nation. Every

fundamental law of our nation. Every
free man, no matter what party he
, associates with, instinctively knows
Democratic policies. And, so long as
these yearnings exist in the hearts of
the people, there will be party to
advocate and express them. We be-
lieye that the Democratic party will
continue to b. that party; that it will
continue to occupy it's historic posi-
ton and that it will fulfill it's destiny.
The danger with the party at the
present time is that it may fail to be
Democratic and in so doing may sur
render the position which it has oc-
cupied for more than century to
some other party. The men intrusted
with the leadership of the Democratic
party at the present time have serious
duties and yet simple ones. They
need only be Democratic to fully and
satisfactorily perform these duties.
They certainly never can perform
them by aiding and abetting the party
at the present entrusted with power
in proving faithless to that trust.
When the president of the United
States is right, when his actions are
for the benefit Of and in favor of the
masses Of the people, he should have
the support of every Democrat in con.
gress, but he never should have the
support Of any Democrat on the theory
that this support would aid in Re-
| publican split.

To discuss the presiding deity Of the
week is a secondary consideration.
What matter whether Cupid. Terp-
sichore or the Club Woman be upper
most when we are permitted to live
and breathe in such weather. Yes,
truly, the prosaic subject of weather
is of import now. Personal comfort
aside-think of the weddings, the
brides that may turn to Sol with
thanks for his gentle benefcence.
Then the teas. They beckon impera-
lively for a first glimpse Of Dame
Fashions latest caprice. And the
edict has been met with gladness, for
gowns never bloomed more eagerly
than under the seductiveness of this
weather. Who will bubble over events
in the face of so perfect a condition?

close of the programme some discus

arousing so much interest among the
clubs-that of placing the statues of
two representative California men in
the Hall of Fame at Washington. Mrs.
Josephine Foster wished to ascertain
the sentiment of this club upon the
two names suggested by her
Father Junipero Sierra and Thomas
Starr King. The acquiescence of the
members was immediate and an assent
quickly gained to place the matter be-
fore the local Council Of Women.
