ALMOST everything that William
Jennings Bryan ever stood for has
been exploded. His free silver views
are now everywhere discounted and
the imperalistic scare which he so
strenuously advocated is now regarded
with cOmplacency even by his own
party. Mr.. Bryan himself has evident
ly seen a great light in this matter.
Compare the following from his Fourth
of July speech in London with any OF
the antiimperialistic utterances of his
In his last campaign:
Il take it for granted that our duty
to the so-called Inferior races is not
discharged by merely feeding them in
times of famine or by contributing to
their temporary support when some
other calamity Overtakes them. A
much greater assistance Is rendered
them when they are led to a more
elevated plane OF thought and activity
by ideals which stimulate them to
self-devefopment. The improvement
of the people themselves should be the
paramount object in all intercourse
with the orient"

We are obtuse enough not to see the
difference between these two classes of
advertising. A newspaper is in the
business of advertising, and any legiti

attention. Many home institutions,
like the State Fair or local tourna-
ment, receive much more advertising
than is paid for, which is perfectly
eight and proper; but this semi-gratui-

Tammany leaders do not think w. r.
Hearst Is sincere in his announce
ment that he is not candidate for the
presidential nomination in 1908. A
district leader VINO has been friendly
to Hearst said after reading this state
menL:
There is nothing in it to get ex-
cited about. Hearst shows that he Is
u shrewd politician by not running up
against the Bryan boom now. The
national convention will not be held
for two years yet, and many things can
happen meanwhile. Bryan may, for
some reason, become unavailable. 10
any event, Hearst could never be
nominated without the backing of
Bryan's friends, and he is wise to an
nounce at this time that he is not q
candidate and to say nice things about
Bryan and Folk. He does not commit
himself 10 anything, and il things
come his way in 1908 he can issue an
other statment, saying that he cannot
resist the demands of the people,, etc.

wants the support of the old Bryan
element of the party in this state.
His plans are well laid. Elect him
governor of New York next fall and
bis nomination for president would
become certainty. Sentiment for
Bryan would have to give way to the
logic OF the situation aud the party
would have 10 nominate for president
the only democrat who was elected
governor OF this state since 1891.

can afford to say nice things about
Bryan and other candidates just now"
