RRYAN.s cOuRAGE.

The world admires a man of cour-
age. That is the reason why the world
cannot help admiring William Jen-
nings Bryan more since his Jefferson
club speech in Chicago than it did be-
fore, for it showed that Mr.. Bryan S
courage has not diminished in his trip
around the world.
The average politician would have
accepted the endorsement given by the
Illinois Democrats and said little about
it. Not so Mr.. Bryan. He denounced
Roger Sullivan more vehemently than
ever. and told the Democrats of Illinois
that If they endorse Sullivan they can
not endorse him, with his consent.
Right on the heels Of Sullivan's Eic-
tory in the Illinois state convention Mr.
Bryan emphatically asserted that II
sullivan had the instincts of a Demo-
crat he would resign" his place on the
Democratic national committee, and
this was followed by the declaration
that he, Bryan, wishes no endorsement
at the hands of Illinois Democrats if 1t
must be coupled with an endorsement
of Sullivan.
In making that declaration Mr..
Bryan threw down the gauntlet to Sui
livan ana his hackers, and two years
hence must see a fight for the control
of Illinois Democracy unless Sullivan
withdraws. This action will make
Bryan enemies, but it will also gain
him admiration for his courage-al-
though it may have been poor Judg-
ment from the politicians standpoint.
However we may differ from Mr..
Bryan's political views, we must ad-
nire the manner in which he stands by
his convictions and speaks out against
that which he deems to be wrong.

A NEWSPAPER PROBLEM.

A problem that the average daily
newspaper editor is called upon to face
almost every day and sometimes sew
eral times a day recently confronted
the Parsons sun so forcibly that its
editor wrote the following:
"A young lady called at the Sun Of
fee this morning, asking that the Sun
refrain from mentioning the drunken
esoapade of her brother. She is scarce
" more than a child, too sweet and
innocent to know that there is any
think half so disgusting in this whole
world as the drunken conduct of the
brother she plead to have protected
from publicity. Her mother is
widow. and while the Sun has no con-
sideratfon for the disreputable young
seanegrace who has brought disgrace
mon his mother and sister, the plead
ing of the sister shall not be in vain
and so far as this paper is concerned
his name will not be mentioned.
"I7nlicensed appetite yesterday filled
the Jail with young men and this
morning there was more than ono
mother at the door of the Jail and at
the notice station pleading with and
for their sons to save them from the
consequence of their own disreputable
conduct. Some of them, perhaps, feel
the disgrace they have brought upon
themselves and their families while
others have passed through this ex-
nerience so often that they have be-
come hardened and care neither for
the disgrace they have brought on
themselves or the sorrow and igno-
nniny that comes to their families
1T is hard to determine the duty Of
newspaper in such cases, but the
sun has never made a feature of
arunks. After all is said and done it
is the mother and sister who suffer
the most. and this paper always at
tempts to shield them in every way
possible. Prison walls cannot shut out
the love of mother and sister and the
contempt of the respectable world of
which they are a part only brings
them. closer to those outcasts who by
their conduct have forfeited all other
respect. And today the Sun will pass
up and allow to go unnoticeds save
for this screed, what is considered in
the news end of the Office the best
news item of the day. It will allow
itself to be held up by the love of a
sister for a disreputable brother who
himself is entitled to no consideration
either at the hands Of the newspapers
or the officials The Sun does this,
not IN the hope that the young man
will care for the consideration or ap-
preciate it or even reform, but because
it would not add to the sorrow and
shame of the mother and sister which
is already greater than they can bear.
In other words the Sun is subsidized. -
And the Sun did right. There is
comparatively little question what to
do in a case OF that kind, but the prob
lem becomes a difficult one when it in
wolves the duty of the newspaper to
It's readers and to the public.
No newspaper wishes to cause pain
or sorrow to the innocent. but suppose
the brother in the case cited above
had committed murder while drunk
would the Sun have done its duty by
those who pay It to tell them the news

1t is within the power of the rail-
roads to indefinitely postpone the Issue
of government ownership If they really
wish to do so. If railroad officials will
be square with the public. abolish all
special concessions, and conform cheer
fully to such reasonable laws OF regula-
ton as may be enacted by congress and
the various state legislatures, there will
be very little support IN the country for
government ownership. But if, on the
other hand, the roads assume an atti-

tinue the practice of discrimination and
favoritism that have characterized their
course In the past, then not alone Mr..
