The moral wave now sweeping the
political atmosphere, which has re-
suited in the popular call for Bryan
as the man to be the Democratic
standard bearer in 1908, in an in
deavor to correct the glaring evils
which have grown up under success
sive Republican administrations, has
brought forth many columns of edi-
torial matter in the Republican press
as to the reason for this general
Bryan outburst and trying to explain
their antagonistic position in times
past to the principles expounded by
the great commoner, the correctness
of which events have proven. Being
absolutely unable to deny that those
theories of government which Bryan
combatted have proven injurious,
they now seek to withhold common
dation of his foresight by advancing
the argument that he has grown"
that he has come forward in mental
development in the past few years
until at present his views are so
changed that he more nearly voices
the sentiment of the people. This
seems to have been decided upon as
the proper excuse by about every Re-
publican sheet that is printed now
adays. They seem to forget that
Bryan stands today practically the
same on every public question as he
did when 1.-The Chicago platform"
was adopted. II these papers which
insist that the popular demand for
Bryan comes from growth" of any
particular description, 1t would seem
that all they would have to do would
be to read the proceedings of the in
designations Of insurance companies,
Of the Standard Oil company, Of the
packing companies, and the unlawful
railway rebate practices to discover
that it is the people who are grow
ing" and have reached that stage in
their development when they can see
that about all the cussedness now be-
ing investigated and proven is the
handiwork of men who were frantic
in their opposition to Organism" in
the past, who went about the country
shouting cant phrases about pre-
serving the national honor" and are
determined these political manipu-
lators shall be given to understand
that the government shall be con-

1t wasn't q Missouri editor but a
printers devil who was going through
his first experience on making up"
forms. The paper was late and the
boy got the galleys mixed. The first
part of the obituary notice of a pecu-
NOUS citizen had been dumped in the
forms, and the next handful of type
came of Of a galley describing Il re-
cent fire. 1t read like this: 1.-THE
pail bearers lowered the body to the
grave and as it was consigned to the
flames there were few II any regrets,
for the old wreck had been an eye
sore to the town for years. OF course
there was individual loss, but that
was fully covered by insurance"
The widow thinks the editor wrote
the obituary that way because the
lamented partner of her joys and sor-
rows owed him five years subscrip-
ton.

The st. Louis lobe-Democrat, an
intensely partisan Republican jour
nal, gives all the credit to the Repub-

should be good authority, declared
that it was Democratic measure
pronounced for in the Democratic
national platforms, and that no Re-
publican platform had endorsed it.
Mr.. Bryan took q much fairer view
of the matter, when he congratulated
President Roosevelt for standing on
Democratic ground that his own
party was opposed to.

The rumors on Wednes- day of an intended early dividend dec laration on Southern Pacific, following the more liberal policy indicated by Baltimore & Ohio, were varied to-day by reports of an intended offer of au- thorized preferred stock of the South- ern Pacific to the common stockholders at subscrition prices that would prove of value as rights. No official informa- tion was forthcoming as to the relia- bility of these reports.
