BRYAN ON TARIFF PLATFORM
Undoubtedly That Will Be the Dem
ocratic Position in 19oS--Duty
Of Republicans.

The Democrats Of the country are
preparing to go wild over William
jennings Bryan. Every leading Dem
ocrat in the country, excepting Grover
Cleveland, Is now for Bryan. Henry
Watterson is in line, ex-Gov. Francis,
OF Missouri, is the original Bryan
nan" at the present time. At the IN
diana Democratic convention a Bry-
an picture was unveiled and the Dem
ocrats shouted themselves hoarse.
Col. Bryan will undoubtedly be the
Democratic nominee in 1908. The is
u will be the tariff. Bryan was
elected to congress, the first time, on
the tariff issue. His first fame came
as the result of a great free trade
speech which he made In congress.
He captured his associate Democrats
and they bore him in triumph out of
the house on their shoulders. It Is
believed that Bryan will not talk
about the money question in 1908, but
will attempt to charge the tariff with
being responsible for all the trusts,
combines and monopolies then in ex.
istence. Bryan Is so smart that he

already evident that the Republican
nominee in 1908 must stand for pro.
lection and the prosperity which pro.

the tariff should join with the Bryan

THE "sWoLLEN FORTUNES" PROBLEM

THE "SWOLLEN FORTUNES" PROBLEM.
The brief suggestion of national tax
alton on transmission of swollen
fortunes" in President Roosevelt's ad-
dress in Washington last March, which
instantly caught public attention, is
shown by the serious manner in which
he has returned to it at Harrisburg, to
have come from no mere accidental or
academic prompting. Facing the fu-
ture he now co-ordinates that PROPOSE
ton in a comprehensive plan for sub
jecting the use OF such wealth to ma
tional supervision and control.
AS the greater part of overgrown
fortunes are necessarily embraced in
corporations which are engaged in in
terstate commerce, either as carriers
or in some other vital relation, the
president maintains the complete
power" of the national government TO
deal with them, and makes it clear that
his fundamental purpose in endeavor-
ing to reduce them to an equal level
with the humblest citizen in obedience
to law is to destroy the unfair means
aud abuses by which so many of these
fortunes have been built up. The new
laws for control of transportation
rates, for pure food and meat inspec-
ton, ETC., are thus examples, although
striking ones, of the exertion of ma
tional power with which the president
would strait-jacket all corporations
vast enough TO have a monopolizing
or injurious effect in the national field.
Every such exertion OF national pc wer
would bear directly or indirectly upon
the problem of fortunes grown over
huge. Unquestionably the cumulative
effect of such policy, maintained with
energy, fearlessness and just intent,
must be powerful towards equalizing
wealth distribution, because tending
to equalize opportunity.
But the president, with character
istic aggressiveness, plants himself on
the ground, already recognized and to
some extent legally occupied in other
countries, that assumes the inherent
peril of unduly swollen fortunes, what
ever their origin. and marks them as
the special objects of governmental reg
ulation by tax on their transmission or
on their income. The necessity is
vastly enhanced by the complications
of great fortunes with huge corpora
tions, involving the life and fate OF
the average individual at every turn
and confessedly transcending the pos
sibility of control by separate state ae-
ton.
Tax on transmission by inheritance
or bequest, since tax on income is al
present unavailable. is therefore sug-
gested as a means OF meeting this re
quirement, not as an isolated PROPOSE
ton, but as supplementary to and in
harmony with the comprehensive
scheme for a corrected industrial order
with which President Roosevelt's ad
ministration will be honorably identi
fed in history. 1t Is not a novel con

OLD MEN AND YOUNG WIVES.
substa ntIaI Agreement on One Prop
OEition.
Chicago Chronicle.

Chicago Chronicle.
Men differ greatly in their opinions con-
corning religion. politics, medicine, art
science and a multitude of other things,
but there is a substantial agreement
among them in regard to one thing and
that is that the old man who takes young
wife is a fool. The only dissident is the
old man himself.
How could II be otherwise? Even In re-
gard to people who are by no means old It
is almost proverbial that very youthful
marriages are the happiest. That Is part
ly because there is not apt to be much dis
parity OF age and partly because assimila-
ton is easier. If, then. there is a disad-
vantage in marrying at IS instead of %
there must be proportionally greater
disadvantage in marrying at IS or 70, even
when the woman is of corresponding age.
The climax OF unreason is reached when
the man of 75 marries the woman OF 35.
The most Important condition OF happi-
ness in married life is similarity of taste,
Differences in fortune, in intelligence, In
religion and In matters of opinion so far
from producing marital dlssensions simply
give variety to married life. On the other
hand, differences in regard TO art, music,
dress, furniture and manners are irrecon-
ciiable and lead to the fercest sort of con-
fcts. It does not help the matter any but
makes II worse II these differences in taste
are the result Of age.
This Is the rock on which the old man
splits when he Jokes himself up with a
young wife. The tastes of youth are widely
and hopelessly different from the tastes
of old age. Youth admires noise, excite
ment and display. Old age Graves quiet,
moderation and simplicity. Fire and wa

| could not be more antipodal than these
| tastes and tendencies. How, then, can an
old man hope for happiness with a young
| wife?
Great wealth might be supposed 10
bridge over this dissimilarity but the
truth is it only aggravates 1t. The pas
sion of the young wife for frivolity. in
anity and display is immensely stimulated
and the gulf between her and her aged
| companion is made wider than ever. How
| could any one but an insane person expect
happiness from such a relation?
Whether he and his wife expect happi-
ness or not they never get 1t. The inevta-
bic disagreement and divorce are not long
in arriving and when they arrive the
world tustihes the woman in marrying for
money but curses the man for being such
a consummate fool.
1t is perfectly true that old men should
| as far as possible surround themselves with
things that are new and with companions
that are young. This is a fine means OF re-
tanning a youthful and Joyous spirit. but II
does not apply to the married relation

tine LAWYER AND coRpoRA r1oNs

THE LAWYER AND CORPORA TIONS.
Edward NJ. Shepard, one of the
ablest and most reputable among the
lawyers and democratic statesmen of
New York, In a notable address be-
fore a bar association, restates and
Celebrates upon the position taken by
President Roosevelt in a Harvard ad-
dress wherein he denounced profess
sional sharp practice in the pay of un-
scrupulous corporations. Mr.. Shep-
ard emphatically asserts that the
legal profession has suffered grave loss
of prestige through the prostitution
which excited the presidents indigna-
ton, and there are few thoughtful OBJ
servers who will controvert him. 1t
is conceded, of course, that many law
yers are still steadfast to the best ira
ditions of noble profession, uncom-
promisingly regardful of civic duty
and personal independence, but the re-
quirements of corporation service have
been such the last two or three decades
as to distinctly lower and corrupt the
professional ethics upon the whole.
In professional skill the bar never
stood higher, but corporation exigen-
cies have unquestionably impaired the
professional conscience. Public respect
is founded on the public conscience.
The great corporations and combines
have been able to offer glittering prizes
to the highest professional talent to
make the law unequal and to defeat
Its true purposes. 1t is natural con-
sequence that the legal profession
should share as abettor in the odium
now visited upon its employer and
principal.
Mr.. Shepard's appeal is for higher
moral and professional standards,
which, not denying to corporations
any right, would cut them off from
service that contravenes conscience
and fair dealing. Such demand for
the application to the conduct of the
lawyer who has a special public re-
sponsibility as an officer of the court,
of these principles of action which we
are insisting shall obtain throughout
official life, must strike a popular
chord everywhere.
