serVative now as it was 10 years ago.
when Mr.. Bryan was the Democratic
candidate for President. Since il gives
10 Mr. Roosevelt a considerate hear
ing now when he appropriatcs MIR.
Bryan's theories and reasserts them as
the soundest principles Of political
economy, il is at least reasonable in
ference that Mr.. Bryan. without his
l6-to-l plank, might have appealed
the electorate i'm 1896. This. of course
is mere speculation. Logically. how
ever, an advanced theory" in 1896
ought Ia be as dangerous" now as il
was 10 years ago, if it was then funda-
mentally wrong. The simple fact that
Mr. Roosevelt now accepts the Iespon-
sibility for it cannot cure its defects or
strip it of its dangers. Congress falls
into line with the President Ia uphold
the Bryan doctrines and put them on
the Federal statute books. In this rca-
soning, therefore, if all the BRYAN
principles were bad. then the Presi-
dent and Congress are doing an injury
10 the nation by accepting If they are
sound and responsible, does it not
seem that Mr.. Bryan might have in
duc"d the country TO approve them i'm
1896 If his party's position on the
financial question had been acceptable
To the country?
Diminishing the speculative phases ~
the question, it may be observed that
the spirit which animatcs President
Roosevelt is more that of the Demo
cratic candidate and platform of 1896
and 1900 than the spirit of his own
party platforms i'm the last 10 years.
His condemnation Of corporate inius-
tice in his public addresses and his
messages To Congress may fairly be re-
gardcd as the result OF the seed sown
10y Mr.. Bryan i'm 1896 and 1900. The
attitude OF the public toward the in
surance revelations, its attitude when
ever other great corporations have
come into conflict with the interest of
the people, has been determined large
ly by Mr.. BrYan's utterances i'm two
Presidential campaigns and the spirit
which he aroused then. Mr. Bryan has
commendationwhich his economic theo- !
iies have received from President
Roosevelt. Imitation is said TO be the
sincerest forii, of fiattery. The Presi-
dent is not only initiating, but he is

some of Mr.. Bryan's principles suit

How Far Was The Democratic
Platform of 1890 Wrong?
baltimore SUM-

In certain Democratic circles i'm New
York there has been talk recently of
changing the Democratic Club i'm that
city from Il local to Il national organiza-
ton and inviting Hon. William j. BRYAN
and other prominent national Demo
Gratis Ia become members of the club.
1t appears. according 10 those who are
at the head of this movement. that Mr..
Bryan is no longer regarded as a
Democratic statesman of dangerously
radical tendencies" but is actually
claSSrd aS a statesman of moderate
views. What. it may Ice asked. ma,
caused this change in public opinion
in the last 10 years, for. with the cx-
cepti"n of one issue. Mr. Bryan appar-
emily stands now where he stood in
1896?
The answer To this question is found
in the record of President Roosevelt
who has proved To be I'm executive Of
extraordinary advanced IDEAS. The
American people have come To- the con-
clusion that between the advanced
economic theories of Mr.. BRYAN and
President RooSevelt's views on the re-
gulation of corporations by the Federal
Government, the control of railroad
rates and an Inheritance tax on wealth
to- keep private fortunes within certain
limits, there is no material difference.
except as regards the tariff. between
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan. 1t was
charged in 1896 hat Mr.. Bryan's plat
form committed him TO hostility to
the courts. But within the last few
weeks the country has seen President
Roosevelt call a Federal Judge 10 ac-
count in the strongest terms for con
STRUNG an act of Congress according
to his understanding of it. The country
has seen the President Significantly
expressing the hope that no other
member of the Federal judiciary would
follow the example Of the Judge whom
he felt constrained to rcbuke. Would
Mr.. Bryan have gone farther? they
ask.
In the light of President Roosevclt's
record, the public is beginning to III

1896, except in his advocacy OF free.
silver coinage at IL to /? Withou,
that preposterous plank, which fore
doomed him to defeat. might ne NOT
have been received differently bv
many voters who then opposed his
theories? All speculation
upon this subject must be based
upon the present attitude of the
country toward President Roosevelt
There has been no evidence that the
party which placed Mr.. Roosevelt in
the White House has any serious
quarrel with him because he has
taken for his own use some of the
radical principles" which have hereto |
fore been identified with Mr.. Bryan's !
There has been-no evidence
that break between the President
and his party has ever been conten,-
plated because he advocates policies
which go beyond the Bryan program
The President has gone his way sturdi-
y, persistently, even obstinately. in
urging upon the country the necessity
d embracing certain principles which
Mr.. Bryan championed. 1t is assumed

THE HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
AND ENTERTAINMENTS.

OAilNsOI< AIlABEI
AND ENTERTAINMENTS.
There is considerable criticism of
the action Of the school authorities i'm
not permitting the Ralph Bingham en-
tertainment the use of the High School
Chapel, en- last Tuesday evening.
based upon the fact that the building
has been allowed for the use of similar
and (non-similar, too) entertainments
heretofore. Recently. there has been
one entertainment for the benefit of
the Presbyterian church. one for the
benefit of baseball club. one for the
(indetlnite) ''bcncfit the High School. -
etc, and now refused the use thereof
for an entertainment given for the ben
eft of the Episcopal church. and it
looks, they say. like an unwarranted
and uniustiiiable discrimination. 1t is
not claimed, as we understand il. bv
the Episcopal church people that they
have any right To demand the use of
the building. or have any claim to il
whatever, but that if it can be used bv
other people, for all sorts of entertain
ments it is not clear why it should be
refused now for a benevolent object. If
the line is To- bc drawn why should il
be drawn at the doo.' Of one particular
church? If a Glce Club can sing songs
and bacchanalian cloruscs. etc. for
the benefit of one c.urch why can't
lecture be given for any church.
Is the question being asked by a good
many people. 1t is said that granting
the chapel To the glee club Of Blacks
burg. the proceeds of which were for
the benefit of the Presbyterian church,.
WAS an act Of courtesy from one school
- another. Then, the baseball club
from Blacksburg or anywhere else,
ran demand the same courtesy. Grant
ing the building as matter of court
esy for one club for the benefit Of a
church, and refusing it to another for
the benefit of church looks like dis
courtesy 10 the other church. and the
public can't see it any other way.
However, the school authorities
have the right to control the property,
and should do so. The line must be
drawn somewhere, and it is supposed
will be drawn closer hereafter. This
may be a good time and place to do
the drawing.
And, now, without any desire TO get
mixed up in a church squabble. or any |
other kind of a squabble,. we make
bold to say, that if churches are going
10 have entertainments to raise money |
for their own benefit said entertain
ments should be held i'm the churches
on not at all. If there is too much of |
the devil in the entertainment to allow |
1t 10 be held in a church building then
now about the money and proceeds |
thereof? If the entertainment will |
faint the church won't the money
raised by it have the same odor? We
have always believed that the AVERAGE
church entertainment was an out-and- |
out compromise with the devil and his /
methoCs, and that any entertainment
for the benefit os religious object
pure and simple. that cannot be held |
IN ii church should not be held ot all |
and that the outside would, including
the devil himself, looks upon il in the
same light. The church conscience ON
this particular mOney-getting method
needs educdting and Fighting up.

sincerity OF a nag called Pusho. Much
of this talk was directed to w. A. Mil
roy of South Gardiner, owner Of the fleet
HaZelwood, steed that is known
throughout Maine and in other states
and Milroy replied to the words OF
Holmes with much gusto. while from all
sides gathered horsemen who listened ana
were exceedingly concerned in all that
transpired. The result is that match
has been arranged for next Monday al
terncon on the ice track at Gardiner and
the stakes are 500 put up by each man.
A forfeit OF 80 each was placed IN a
