Why Hearst Will Support Bryan in 1903

why AtNUAoS IAs SoRkVAS w SOVV
The New York World says that,
"Mr. Hearst is q shrewd and resource
ful politician, with far more ability
and audscity than many of his oppo-
nents give him credit for possessing"
That is quite true, and that is why
Mr.. Hearst will support Mr.. Bryan in
1903.
II the publisher Of the World knew
~ much as Mr.. Hearst he would have
supported Mr.. Bryan ten years ago,
but ct that time Mr.. Hearst stood
alone among the publishers of the big
newspapers of this country in his sup
port of the democratic, presidential
nominee. He knew as much then as
the publisher of the World now knows,
and while it is gratifying to know That
the World learns, even though 1t does
not move, 1t by no means follows, that
the World can tell what Mr.. Hearst
will do in 1908.
Mr.. Hearst's support Of Mr.. Bryan
contributed more than any other one
thing TO the upbuilding Of his great
newspapers, and he is notat this time
going to kick down the ladder by
which be climbed to his present posit-
ion, not even to please the publisher
of the World or any ono else.-Man

Bryan Talks About His New Conserve.
tive Supporters.

While in Norway attending the cor
onation of King Haakon, William i.
Bryan was spoken to about the change
in public sentiment in this country,
and particularly about the turning of
Of the conservatives toward him as
their candidate in 1908. He was asked
If he was conservative, and he an
swered By saying:
II am not responsible for the phra.
sos used in regard to me; but am re-
sponsible for my position on public
questions. That position ought to be
well known. Take the trust question,
for instance, as it seems uppermost
just now. Ny position is that private
monopoly is indefensible, intolerable.
That was the democratic platform in
1900, and the plank was incorporated
in 1904, and it ID the only tenable po-
sition
Corporations should be controlled
and regulated, butprivate monopolies
must be exterminated, root and
branch. Now you can call that radi.
cal doctrine. Yetit 10 more conserv.
alive to apply this remedy now than
to wait until predatory wealth has by
its lswlessness brought odium on le-
climate accumulations.
"What used to called radical is now
called conservative because people
have been Investigating. The doc.
trine has not changed, but public
sentiment is making progress.

Addicks of Delaware.


It was sincerely hoped by all lovers
of the republic and of representative
government that the election Of Du
Pont to the senate from Delaware
meant the permanent retirement Of
Hon. Gas Addicks from the limelight
and from public activity. There was
no such good luck, however, for the au-
dacious gas man hobs up serenely and
notifies all mankind in general and the
Blue Hens Chickens in particular
that Du Points election means that he
(Addicks) will be the next United States
senator from Delaware. But, while
that news is well calculated to perturb
the public, the declaration Of Charles
NJ. Schwab that he will not even try
to purchase seat in the United States
senate from Nevada is of the sort
which makes us all feel as though we
were close kin to Mark Tapley.

The New state.

60ualOIS, live UNDERGRADUATES III COl-
gress and full complement of state,
district and county officers are the i'm
mediate stakes to be played for. Per-
manent control Of the state is the great
stake. AS soon as Oklahoma proper
became territory she became ambi-
uous for statehood. That was in 1899.
She has been struggling for it for sew
enteen years; the Indian Territory not
50 long. Just how many aspiring men
have settled In those two territories to
promote their political prospects can
never be known, but it is safe to say
that there are hundreds of them. It
Is equally safe to say that there are
dozens of men in the new state who
would grace the senate Of the United
States and scores who would hoe their
own rows in the house Of represents
lives. The fight will be fierce and the
fighters numerous for these positions
and for the big state Offices. Nobody
knows whether the state is Democratic
or Republican. Let US fervently hope
that 1t will be Democratic by big ma
jority.
After much backing and filing the
department of justice has issued a
manifesto to the effects that it is going
| after the Standard Oil trust hot foot.
Better late than never In this case
seeing will be believing. OF course all
the Republican papers are claiming
great credit for the department Of JUS
tice for the promise Of tackling the oc-
topus = the same Republican papers
which helped defeat Frank Monnett for
the Ohio attorney generalship because
he had nerve enough to tackle the
Standard Oil several years ago. Times
change, and we change with them.
What was anarchy and treason when
lrst preached by Democrats is now
prime patriotism when promised by
| Republicans. But will the Republican
department Of justice bust the Stand
ard Oil trust? AS the French would
say, Nous verrons. Yes; we shall see.
| Count Boni as member of the French
assembly draws a measly salary of
$500 per annum. AS husband of An
ma Gould he thought nothing of squan-
dering that much in minute. He
| would have done we'll to behave him
self in his marital relations. To him
seems applicable the old saying, "Ad-
versity is a hard school, but fools will
learn in no other" 1t will be fortu-
nate, happy, day for American girls
of wealth when they learn the wisdom
of marrying honest young men Of their
own country instead Of buying high
sounding European titles, with degen-
crate sons of noble houses for mates.

LUCK.
Some people assume to ridicule the
idea of luck. All such should journey
to Columbus, O., and ask Governor
Harris what he thinks Of that PROPOSE
ton. He is in position to answer, for
he is fine illustration Of the old say
ing, Better be born lucky than rich"
He is now threescore and ten. The
chances are that IL he ever entertained
any ambition to be governor Of the
Buckeyes he had relinQuished it; other
wise, unless he Is endowed with pro-
phstic ken OF the highest order, he
would not have accepted nomination
for lieutenant governor on the ticket
with Myron T. Herrick. Unless he is a
genuine prophet he could not know the
three things which caused him to in
herit the governorshtp first, that Her
rick wonld be defeated by Democrat
for governor; second, that, though Gov
ernor Herrick would be defeated by a
Democrat he Harris) would be elect
ed lieutenant governor; third, that the
Democratic governor would die before
he had served six months of his three
year term. All things worked together
for good to Governor Harris. Though
filling only part of term, assuming
that he will not be reelected, he will
nevertheless serve longer than any 9th.
er one term governor, for Governor Pat
tison, whom he succeeds, was the only
Ohioan ever elected for a three year
term. They have always been elected
for two years and will be so elected
hereafter. The term for which Patti
son was elected was extended by the
legislature to three years to get rid OF
the odd year election. Here, again
Harris plays in luck. Ordinarily his
fragment of a term would have beef
only one and one-half years; now it Is
