The Strange Democratic Mood.

Repression is not a conspicuous
quality of the engaging character Of
our democratic brethren. On the con-
trary. one of the qualities Of the dem
Ocratic temperament which we must
admire is its explOsiveneSS. Hence,
we are not a little amazed at the rare
spectacle of calm ana quiet in the
camp Of the democracy, where we look
ed for a rafting rumpus over Mr.. Bry-
ans bold attempt to commit his party
20 government ownership at this early
etage of the campaign OF 1908. There
would have been no aus for wonder
had President Roosevelt done
thing quite as radical as this and it
had not been followed by outgivings
of rage by numerous leaders of G.. 0.
p, for republicans are disciplined and
believe in fighting the enemy and not
among themselves.
But here it is going on two weeks
since Mr.. Bryan made his Madison
Square speech, and only two of the
leaders Of his party have given public

out.
Some people nay think that HyOmei
