MI. Bryan Going Abroad.

This telegram from Madison. Wis, shows
that Mr.. Bryan Is not losing his hold on his
party in the northwest:
wisconsin democrats, to the number Of
500. tonight gave banquet to w. ]. Bryan
Col. Bryan said that he held it a. great
honor to address such gathering. He in
tended to take an extended European trip.
and for that reason especially appreciated
the present opportunity to discuss demo-
cratic ideas and principles. 1t was early to
discuss the standard-bearer Of the party for
1908. He said that he wanted to take
long foreign trip to bring back what he
could to promote good government. He
thought that 1t was good time for him TO
go now, because there were no prospects
that the Senate and the President would
get together on any important subject for
long time"
Let US hope that the present quest for
new ideas may be more successful than was
the other. Mr. Bryan's first visit to Europe.
made with this same object In view was
fruitless. He brought back nothing that
we could use in our affairs. His campaign
for Judge Parker did not betray his foreign
travels at all. But that was flying trip.
He did not give himself time enough to col
lect much Information. nor to digest what
he collected On this trip he will cover
more ground and will not hurry. 1t may
be- therefore. that in 1908 Mr. Bryan's elo-
Quence will be garnished with the wisdom
of many lands. culled by him for the up
building Of his own.
The belief is expressed that a long battle
approaches between the President and the
Senate. Mr.. Bryan doubtless refers to
railroad rate-making and tariff revision.
He is not alone in that belief. There are
others who see, or think they do. something
Of the same kind. Undoubtedly the stand
against what Is understood to be the Presi-
dents attitude on both Of those propositions
will be made in the Senate. The railroads
and the standpatters Will be in combination
there. and will not lack for either skillful
leaders or outside resources. They are
capable of putting up a very pretty fight.
But so Is the President. The initiative
Is with him and much will depend on how
he leads Off. If there is the note of reso-
luton in the message to Congress, and
both Congress and the country are per
suaded that he means business. the battle
may not be so protracted. Mr.. Roosevelt
knows how, to appeal to the country, and
what to do with the public sentiment
which supports him. and next winter may
witness an exercise of his power.
And so if Mr.. Bryan wants to be ''in at
the death he should arrange his itinerary
carefully. and keep this fact in view.

Dodging the Presidency.

There Is a wag loose in Massachusetts.
Gov. Douglas has declined to stand Tor re-
election. and we are asked to believe that
he is lodging the democratic nomination
for the presidency in 1908. He fears. 50
the yarn runs. that second triumph IN
republican stronghold like the Bay STATE
" ould. In the democracys present pilghs'
make him the most prominent man IN the
party and induce 1t to turn to him In the
hope of salvation three years hence. Ana
80 he will content himself with one term
as governor. and by retiring TO private
life now escape the turmoil of national
campaign He has we told. no ambi-
ton to be President.
Mr. Douglas is good man. rich. and per-
sonally popular. He has achieved marked
success in business. and has record as
friend of labor. The wage-earners in his
employ have only words Of praise for htm
In a year when labor and wages were sEe
Issue such a man might be nominated. But
events are promising no such Issue for 1919
Moreover New England Is not hunting
ground for either party. The republicans
went there for Mr. Blaine in 1884, but his
brilliant talents and the particular situa-
ton Of that year dictated his nomination
The democrats have never gone there. and
probably never will CO. Talk OF Mr.. Oiney
in 1900 and again last year. while serious
among his friends was never accepted Sc
riously by the country.
Again. Neither party has ever nominated
an angel for President. Money Is recog-
ni1ed as very essential in presidential
campaign, but the candidates themselves
are never expected to provide It. Rich men
who have sought the honor. whether OF one
party or the other. have always found
themselves handicapped instead of assisted
by their barrels. Mr. Tflden. indeed. is the
only rich man In the whole list OF presiden-
tial nominees but his wealth had no part In
securing his nomination. He was q great
politician. and his record as governor of
New York made 1t the part of wisdom for
the democracy to put Its standard into his
hands.
MI Douglas Is probably not uneasy. He
need not be. Hts election last year came as
such a surprise 1t led to some comph-
mentary speculation about the future, but
nothing encourages that sort of thing now.

The Baltic Sea.

There is apparently no disposition in Eu-
rope TO treat lightly the suggestion that
Emperor William is seeking an agreement
between the Sovereigns of Russia Sweden
and Denmark and himself to declare the
Baltic closed sea to foreign warships as
field for purely political demonstration
whether avowedly or by subterfuge His
recent conference with the czar followed
quickly by the announcement that he pro-
poses forthwith to visit King Christian of
Denmark and his late communications with
Sweden is now taken pointing unmis-
takably toward a German program to form
an alliance between the four Baltic powers
The Berlin press Is already showing signs
OF irritation on the score of the proposed
September In Baltic waters. And the Lon
sistence upon the execution of the program
by the British government Thus far the
controversy is strictly journalistic. but
there are signs to show that this combat
of the editorial pens is an echo of sentj-
ments now being privately uttered by off,
Gals In the four chancelleries.
The German press claims that the Baltic
10 naturally and politically a closed sea.
and that England has no valid ground for
attempting to use II for her naval ma
neuvers or for a conspicuous show OF
strength. II this claim Is set up by the
four Baltic states, England must resist It
or confess to German naval supremacy in
the northern European waters. There Is q
broad difference between the German
claims In regard to the Baltic and the case
Of the Black sea. England Is herself party

Bisbee daily review., 1905-07-02

clares that: "All men are created equal" which by implication is an af- firmation that "all men are created free" Dr. Gunsaulus sayc that this is -an interesting falsehood." If this be so. then, Dr. Gunsaulus, who among us were born slaves? The idea that slavery was a divine institution has not prevailed to any extent in this country since the civil war. The American nation endured an awful struggle to rid its system of that ter riole disease-toxin. But if Dr. Gun saulus ;s right; if men are not created free. then are some born slaves. It has been hundreds of years slnce a country's population was divided into two classes, free-born and slaves Such a classification does not obtain in any civilized country today-not even in Russia.
 It must always be borne in mind then. that the doctrine of equality re- spects the relation of mankind to the laws that govern his existence from the moment of his conception until the second of his dissolution and beyond the grave there certainly are no In equalities. The laws of nature are inexorable and apply to all alike; the same Is true of revealed law which does not provide one way of salvation for the rich and anohter for the poor, and the more perfect human govern ment Is the more in accord 1t will be with natural and revealed law. That all men are created equal Is a self-evi- dent truth.
 But we are reminded of the relations Of fife: parent and child; husband and wife. master and servant. etc. What relation. pray. has God created that involves a condition of slavery Name one. Unless you can men are creat- cd free notwithstanding Dr. Gunsau- ius. These relations which God has created and sanctified involve mutual richts and obligations. Not in any Christian nation Is the parent the owner of the child. and In few pagan countries can the father do with the son as he pleases without responsibii- Iity to the law Of the realm. The laws Of God impose duties toward the off spring unon the progenitor and duties toward the progenitor upon the off spring. and with respect to the full nument of these obligations both stand upon terms of equality before the Almighty. and likewise before the bar of any just human court This principle pervades every relation in life. Equality does not mean that all have the same duties, but it does mean that the law guards with equal jealousy the rights Of all and enjoins with equal rigor the obligations Of all. Equality Is not Incompatible with the obedience due the parent from the child: nor with the respect that youth

sent. He wants men to come into hts realm as citizens and not as sub jects. Those who enter the portals of Heaven will not be met by a code of laws, for heaven as a perfect gov eTnmenr will not be governed at all. Every law has it's penalty. There are no penalties in Heaven, hence there are no laws.

he has before consented to as a unit of that government whose powers to enact laws and to enforce them have been derived from the consent of the citizens composing the government. What American citizen will say this Is not the true relation? What Ameri- can citizen Is ready to surrender the character of citizen" for that of "subject2" The Englishman comes to our shores "a subject of the King; the German is a subject of the Elm peror;1 the Dutchman a subject of the Queen" and all exercise the di- vine right to assent to what govern ment they shall look to for protection and become citizens of America. The writer cannot see how such sub iect'' can throw off the badge of his servitude and clothe himself in the garb Of American citizenship with out a most inspiring sense of eleva- ton in character and dignity. In the very act of renouncing allegiance as subject and declaring his inten- tions as a citizen the foreigner exer- Icises a consent that is fundamentally wrong if Dr. Campbell's contention is right American citizensi if it be just to call you such rather than subjects. the Declaration of Inde- pendence is true, even when it says that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov ened."
 But what about the father and the child again! Consent Is not required for a father to govern his children 70 When the child has come to that age when the father Is no longer bound to care for and support him; in other words. when the child has reached his majority; or to put 1t more for cibly, when the child has reached that age when human experience ex4 pressed in legal rules conceives he is able to look out for himself, to bind himself by contract-in short, when the child has reached the age of con sent. it does require the consent of thechild for the< father to govern him. Until then the father protects rather than gOvernS; rears rather than rules.
 Then again what IS the relation of God 10 his crsatures7 It would seem they should be absolutely subject to His will, but in his wisdom He has decreed otherwise. and that decree man should not question.
