BRYAN AND SILVER

The normal individual experiences
feeling of inexpressable sadness and
his own kind having the years of
a mature person waile in body and
mind the development remains that
of child. Cases of arrested develop
ment, whether physical or mental, jar
upon the natural sympathies Cypress
lively and repulsively. But the shrink
ing from and sorrow for the unfor-
tunate dwarf, the helpless and inno-
cent victim of antecedent causes is
soon softened into gentleness and pity
before the kindling fires of charity
and love that proceed from the higher
law of human sympathy. The tolera-
ton, however, which our higher ma
ture compels in lis for the unfortunate
victims of arrested development,
where neither blame nor re sponsibility
attach to the victims themselves, is
as sternly forbidden in the case of the
intellectual dwarf made so by self
qualification and slavery to preju-
dice.
In view of the recent labored at
tempts of few editors of newspapers
that are corporation organs to revive
a discussion of the silver question in
connection with the prospective can
didacy of Mr. Bryan for the presidency
in 1908. The Independent, in broth
erly spirit, warns such editors against
allowing their zeal to serve their mas
tiers in the dire extremity in which
they are placed by the political ex-
igencies of the hour, to deSiSt from
doing that which will brand them
selves as servile and idiotic, and there
by cause them to forfeit the respect
of all intelligent men and impair their
future usefulness.
The coinage of silver may again
become a burning issue before the
people of the western nations TO the
earth at some future time. But such

VERMONT AND PENNSYLVANIA

The spirit of the times is contage-
GUS. The wave of independence in
politics that is sweeping over the land
is irresistible, and is brushing aside
moss covered traditions as things not
to be longer reverenced. II evidence
were wanted to put to shame even
such burbons as are trying to jeopar-
die the good name and best interests
of the people of Nebraska by having
the democratic convention reject
sense and reason and PROSTATE itself
before the fetish of party name, it
is furnished in the recent action of the
democrats of Vermont and Pennsyl-
vania.
The democratic state conventions of
these two old states have just nomi-
mated as their respective candidates
for governor two men that have been
lifelong members of the republican
party, neither of whom have ever been
or have ever protested to be members
of the democratic party. And, in so
doing they have risen out of the dead
past into the living present, and have
challenged the good that is in the fu-
ture.
Democratic principles are right and
sound and include the best interest
of all of the people. The party has
traditions that are inspiring, but they
are quite ancient The party has been
for many years under leadership
that has been stupid, Anticipated and
blind, such as forbid rather than en-
couraged growth. The party has lived
on the charm of its name, to which 1t
has not been true.
The great rank and file, the ground
tier of the party, the men who produce
wealth, pay taxes and fight the ma
tons battles, found the desire of their
hearts in the meaning of the word
democrat, and voted for years for can
didates bearing the name of that party
who were mere adventures and op
portunists who kept the party trail
ing along behind the republican party
awaiting the day when that party
would be rejected on account of it!

themselves would supercede the re-
publicans in the favor of the corporate
and predatory interests.

Democrats have been at all times in
the great majority among our people.
But the party bearing the name has
never been attractive to the real DEM
ocrat from a period antedating the
civil war until it challenged the coun-
try in 1896 by display of intelligence
and courage, when, Notwithstanding
the party split in twain, it's old lead
ership going over to the enemy, it
rolled up a million more votes than
ever before, was successful in a ma
jority of the states and it's candidates
were elected for the first time in ten
states in the union.
Between 1896 and 1900 the party
leaders in many of the states together
with many of the national leaders
longed to return to the old life OF in
obedience and mere negation. To the
efforts of William J. Bryan it was due
that the party was held in line for
the principles enunciated in Chicago.
And it was during the interium be-
tween 1896 and 1900, and in the ma
tional convention of the latter year,
that the real worth and true character
of William j. Bryan became known
and established, known not only to the
democrats in the party bearing that
name, but to the democrats who have
not yet affiliated with the party but
who have learned to love and honor
the man whom they regard as an ex-
ponent of genuine democracy.
In 1904 the leadership of the demo
cratic party could no longer be held
in the path of recitude by Mr.. Bryan
single handed and alone, and that it
devolved upon him alone to maintain
the integrity of the party principles
as enunciated at the two preceding ma
tional conventions was amply demon
strated in the st. Louis convention of
potent to reach the Intelligence and
conscience of the nation, and the lead
ership that turned its back upon him
in that convention found itself unable
to hold the traditional party vote any
where, not even in the states of the
South. The old leaders of the demo-
cratic party utterly discredited and
practically without a following now
recognize the inevitable and are add
ing their feeble voice to the spOntan-
eous and universal call of democrats
to Bryan to come and take helm. Such
course with the old leaders Of the
party has become a political necess-
| ity This last ground-swell of opinion
that calls Bryan back into the lead
erShip of his party is cO-incident with
| the waning power of the bourbons ele-
ment everywhere, as is so strongly
Illustrated in the recent action in Yer
mont and Pennsylvania. The action
of the new democracy in those states
| tells in thunder tones what is coming.
The reign of the bourbon is over and
an era of progress during which jeff
ersonian principles will guide the con-
structive craftsmanship of the nation
is about to be ushered in with Bryan
as it's guiding genius.

Never committed a blunder in judg-
ment of collateral on loans.

Mr.. Osborne, concerning whom the

trusted assistant, enjoyed the conf

first year he entered his employ. He

His head is surmounted by an aureole
OF snow-white hair and he wears

remembers to have seen him when he
did not have smile and a pleasant
