BE ALER

Many young men miss their chance to
rise in the world because they are not
ready for the next step up when the
opportunity comes. AS long as we are
satisfied with just enough knowledge or
skill to perform the work in hand, we
shall never rise any higher. Those who
have fitted themselves for sphere of
larger usefulness by diiigent study and
careful preparation usually get the oppor-
tunity sooner or later.

GIRLS or IRELAND.

There are pretty scenes In Ireland
From Wicklow's magic wales
To where the sweet meandering Moy
Divides Tyrawley's dales;
There are how'rs ali Ger the meadows,
There's honey in her trees,
But the pretty girls in Ireland
Are fairer far than these.
There are charming scenes in Ireland
Killarney's lakes and fells-
Her parks, her woods, her mountains,
Her deep, romantic dells;
Fair Cork's delightful river,
And then, o sweet Adare,
But the charming girls of Ireland
Are fifty times as fair.
There are noble scenes in Ireland,
From Mourne to proud Mulree,
From Corrib's waves to Varty's stream
All sparkling, pure and free;
oh, crystal are her fountains,
That laugh by night and day,
But the high souled girls of Ireland
Are purer far than they.

Drafting" and 1908.
!, Springfield Republican

Says the Springfield Republican:
70 THE longer Mr.. Taft delays going on the
bench the greater is the likelihood that he
will be drafted to head the republican ticket
in 1905"
Don't talk about drafting" anybody in
1905 The situation Is certain not to take
that form. There are no avowed candidates
for the republican nomination, but there
are several campaigns for the prize vigor-
ously under way The man who secures 1t
will be indebted to his friends for some of
the most pronounced hustlng this country
OF hustlers has ever seen. Judge Taft's
friends will not be behind the friends of
other presidential possibilities If he remains
in the cabinet and by that choice indicates
his availability for the presidency. They
are very fond and proud of him, and only
await the signal to go TO work for him. Be
very certain that nobody will be drafted
II Judge Taft is the next President of the
United States 1t won't be the result of a

Tho outspoken Bryan.

The New York World regrets Mr. Bryan's
yolubility at this time. Everything was
going nicely Men who had always been
for the Nebraska leader were declaring Tor
him with more fervor than ever. Men VINO
had never been for him were coming
around. The situation had begun to take
on the aspect of love feast. Democratic
success seemed just around the corner
Mr. Bryan had but to hold his peace, and
all would be well. But he has spoken, and
as the World believes, all Is Ill. fair
sky has been overcast and g. storm threat
ems.
The World forgets. There is instruction
in bit Of history which the World helped
to make.
In 1892 the democratic party Numbered
against the trusts, and, partly on the
strength of its deliverances on that sub
ject, won the race. But when Mr.. Cieve-
land selected for Attorney General the
leading corporation lawyer Of New Eng
land the hopes of the antitrust people
were dashed The World in particular felt
outraged, and called for Mr.. Olney's re-
tirement. 1t did not hesitate to say, In
deed. that had the country known In ad-
vance what Mr.. Cleyelands action would
be In so important a matter his election
would have been quite impossible. The
World lectured, but Mr.. Cleveland was OBJ
durate. Mr.. Olney remained in office, and
the trusts went their way undisturbed. We
had four years of wrangiing as to what the
democratic party had been commissioned
to do, and the party. on the trust ques-
ton, on the money question, and on the
tariff question, went to pieces.
Guiding by that lesson alone-and Mr..
Bryan must remember it's not the Ne
br aska leader justified in making his atti-
tude entirely plain at this time on all ques-
tons? He does not want merely to be
President. He knows that to obtain the
Office by silence, or by evasion, or by PAL
tering with principles, would be to destroy
himself. and send his party again discred-
tied into the wilderness. AS he has not
changed his views on the money question.
why permit anybody, and particularly
person thinking of giving him support for
the first time, to believe he has? AS he is
more radical now than In 1895, when he &C
quired the reputation of a radical, why not
confess It?
Mr.. Bryan has never as a man appeared
to better advantage than within the past
few weeks. He has met food tide of en-
husiasm-composed largely of false hopes
and vain Iongings-wtth q frankness and
composure altogether admirable Remem-
bering Mr. Cleveland and his heterogeneous
following he shuns bunko with all his
heart

A Changing Aspect in Russia.

Within the past forty-eight hours the
Russian crisis has assumed q new aspect
owing to the weakness displayed by the
constitutional democrats In the douma and
the failure OF any party to disclose a domi-
mating strength. the lower house OF pariia
ment virtually ceases for the present to be
a factor in the situation. The issue now is
drawing more and more sharply beween the
palace forces and the revolutionary orsant-

Don't Disturb Mr.. Taggart.

Really. the democratic enemies of Mr.
Taggart should let up on the poor man.
What would 1t avail If he were to be ousted
from the craftsmanship of the national com
mittee now? 1t would not add vote to
the democratic column this year. Every
body would see the play, and know that
1t was simply for vote-getting purposes;
that it did not represent sincere sensitive
ness on the subject OF gambling So far
then, as this years campaigns are concerned
it is useless to push the movement for
change.
AS for 1905. why consider that situation
so far in advance? Mr.. Taggart will not
be in the way when il comes to planning
the next battle. In no conceivable event
is he likely to be chosen to succeed himself
