Mr.. Bryan'S Keynote.

MIR. Bryan always speaks as one
having authority. His assumption
of it is large reason why he has
it. He spoke last evening to the
assembled Thousands of his follow
ers. and he rejected all advice of
the party counselors. who had been
to much pains to urge, especially
what ne should not say.
1t was a graceful and a vigorous
address. in which Mr., Bryan voiced
the revised opinions which n tour
of the world has developed out of
the views so long familiar. Whether
it presented the germ of a program
of progressive, effective, appealing
policies. however. may be doubted.
Mr.. Bryan makes the trust ques-
tion his paramount, but he could
not resist the temptation to contide
20 his hearers that his travels had
confirmed his belief in public own
ership of railroads. on the some
what fantastic plan heretofore an
nounced by him-Federal owner
ship of the trunk and State owner
ship of the local lines. 1t is an
open secret that Mr.. Bryan was
urged not TO say these things until
he could have further Investigated
the feeling of the country; that he
was urged rather to postpone such
pronouncement until the working
of the rate regulation experiment
could be tested. But amenability
10 advice based on mere eNpediency
is not a Bryan trait.
What Mr.. Bryan said about Gov
ernment ownership was somewhat
tentative, and would not need be
embarrassing 10 his party if it were
not that he failed to press forward
any other specific remedial pro-
posal and insist on immediate con-
sideration of it. Government own
ership stands out as the one clear,
sharp, welI-defned new idea" On
the trust question Mr. Bryan was
distinctly disappointing. He was
vague and unsatisfactory. He round
ly declared for Legislation which
shall make a private monopoly inn
possible" but he failed to tell what
that legislation shall be. He did,
indeed, declare that "the Demo
cratic party must be prepared TO
propose new and effective legisla-
tion:" but then i'm another part of
his speech he SAYS IF we can but
repeal the laws that enable men to
reap where they have not sown
II no one win be able to accu-
mulate enough to make his fortune
dangerous to the country" Mr..
Bryan leaves an uncomfortable
doubt whether he proposes 10
remedy things by giving as new
laws. or by repeating the old ones.
Within the next few days there
viii he supplemental speeches by
Mr.. Bryan. Until they shall have
been heard and read, it viii be inn
possible to Justify a conclusion that
the homecoming of its leader has
contributed largely 20 uuifying his
party. Instead of proposing an
issue on which his party could agree
and ON which il could present a
solid front and have possibility of
making gains from the enemy, he
has offered an apple Of discord.
If Mr.. Bryan had made the tariff
the chief issue. he could then have
attacked the trusts as the offspring
Of the tariff. lambasted them to his
hearts content. and kept busy
without proposing an issue so filed
with dissension as public owner
ship. He would have mad his own
party united and his opposition
split. Now. il is feared. he will
divide his own party and solidify
the opposition.
