WHAT ONE WRITER SAYS
ON THE BRYAN RECEPTION

We call the fervor OF the welcome
given TO Mr.. Bryan genuine because, to
veteran observers, there was not trace
or imitation due TO the Tammany machine
or the Hearst machine Had the en-
gineers OF those organizations seen fit
10 order out their legions, they could
have packed the sidewalks from the Wis
itors' landing-pier TO Fiftieth street with
masses OF tumultuous dispensers OF spu-
rious applause. They could have made
the so-called Overflow meeting I'm Mad
ison square. which, as a matter OF fact
on Aug. 80. was a fasco. a counterpart
OF the vast mutitudes mustered there
10 years ago by Tammany which while
secretly determined TO knife the Nebras-
kan, deemed II expedient 10 make a de-
lusive show OF Regularity" For expert
onlookers the absence OF purchasable
myrmidone did but prove the sincerity
OF the cheers that followed Mr.. Bryan's
progress up Broadway and which later
hailed his appearance I'm the huge audito-
rum In which he was 20 speak. OF the
fifteen or twenty thousand listeners as
sembled I'm Madison Square Garden, all
were impelled thither ny real sympathy
and esteem for the Nebraskan, or by an
honest desire to learn whether he would
not make IL possible for them two years
hence 10 vote for him; we say all. though
there was an insignificant contingent evil

lily I'm sham disappointment or disillusion
when Mr.. Bryan began his address,
The ptiful attempt TO simulate a pro-
test against the prevailing sentiment
cannot have availed 20 chill Mr.. Bryans
confidence for a second for not only at
the outset, but up 10 the crucial passage
I'm his speech, when he advocated federal
ownership OF trunk railways. he received
repeated and overwhelming proofs OF ar
dent interest and deep appreciation. Nor
was even the effectd OF that surprising
and disastrous blunder at once percepu-
BILE 10 the intent spectator. II was only
slowly, as the hearers turned perpleXed
and disconnected eyes on one another
and began TO grasp the fatal significance
of the Nebra skan's departure from fun
damental principles that a killing frost
fell on the assembly. II is doubtful
whether Mr.. Bryan himself realized until
the following day the irretrievahle out
come of the step which he had rashly
taken. II must have been heart-break-
ing 10 discover that the wreck OF his po-
lltical fortunes. which all OF his enemies
and rivals had proved unable TO accom-
plish. had been wrought by his own hand
We may well believe tnat his feelings on
awakening 20 the whitening truth, were
correctly depicted long ago by Scott:
"As the struck eagle. stretched upon the
plain.
No more through azure heights TO soar
again,
Sees his own pinion on the fatal dart.
And winged the shaft that quivers In his
heart" -Harpers Weekly.

San Francisco. Cal. Sept. 17.-President
Roosevelt. In arbitrarily attempting 10
change the natural evolution OF the Eng
lish language, has usurped powers that
do not belong 60 any individual and has
assumed an authority that touches on the
personal rights OF not only Americans,
but OF all English-speaking people.
This. I'm substance. is the arraignment
of tho presidents order offered by Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler. head OF the Univer-
sity OF California.
President Wheeler was emphatic In his
statement that he opposed as entirely un-
authorized and unnecessary the order
promulgated by the nations chief exec
utive His criticism was delivered before
the graduating class Of the university
the commencement exercises having been
postponed until Saturday because OF the
destruction caused by,the earthquake.
The fact that President Wheeler is a
close friend OF Mr.. Roosevelt did not
deter him from training his batteries on
the exponents OF phonetic spelling. IL
did, however, cause some surprise, for In
all the chorus OF praise or condemnation
that arose from educators throughout the
country. President Wheeler's voice was
unheard. IL was believed that he favor
ed the reform. or, II he did not approve
that his personal friendship for Mr.
Roosevelt sealed his lips.
President Wheeler spoke at some length
on the spelling question. and declared its
adoption will lead 10 confusion.
