PRAISING ROOSEVELT.
1t Should Be Done With Discretion and
for Just What is Good.

| some OF the Democratic papers
criticiSc Mr.. Bryan for commending 9
certain of the President $ utterances
and efforts. but these criticisms will
not prevent an expression of appre-
citation of the educational work the
Chief Executive is dong.
The President is entitled to com
mendation even from political oppon-
nentS when he says or does anything
good. One must be narrow minded
indeed to refuse to do justice to an
official merely because he belongs
to another party. Then. too, one
raises suspicion as to his own sim
cerity, if he loses interest in a right
eOus policy because some one else
advocates it. But there is good
partisan reason why DemOcrates
should commend the President when
he urges the adoption of Democratic
doctrine.
President Roosevelt advocates rail
road regulation, trust prosecution,
the income tax and arbitration of
labor troubles. All of these were
demanded by Democratic platforms
when Republican platforms were
silent on the subject. 1t required
some courage on the part of a Re-
publican President to repudiatc his
own platform and borrow from the
platforms of his opponents and he is
entitled to credit for it. Some of
the sO-called Democratic papers re-
fuse to say good word for the Pres
ident because these papers do not
believe in railroad regulation, trust
prosecution, the income tax and ar
bitration, but nearly all Democrats
do, and by cOmmending the Presi-
dent on these subjects they help to
convince Republicans that Demo
cratic ideas have virtue in them.
What Democratic speaker has con-
verted as many Republicans to De-
mocracy as the President has? If
the Democrats abandoned Demo-
cratic reforms merely because the
President endorsed them they would
simply turn over the Democratic
platform to the opposition. The
President has made it impossible for
Republicans to oppose the DomO-
cratic party on railroad regulation,
trust prosecution, income tax and
arbitration, and it would be ungen-
erous to refuse to recognize the
great service he has rendered,
Peter Cartright was one asked if
he was sanctified and he replied
yes. in spots The President is
Democratic in spots and, while the
spots are not large enough or nu.
merous enough, Democrats are justi-
fed in calling attention to the spots
and admiring them. The popular
ity which the President has won has
been won by his Democratic spots
and this popularity ought to be a
lesson to both Democrats and Repub-
licans. 1t ought to convince Demo-
Gratis of the folly of running away
from radical Democracy, and it ought
to teach thousands of young Repub-
licans the wisdom of taking the peo-
pies side on public questions.

And though the day bc drcary,

In the calm that comes at evening.
When the twilight shadows fall.

From her waving window blinds,

Waited To me on the winds.
When hush my heart to hear her,
can almost understand
Her sweet welcome is the whimple
OF the windwave from her hand.
When she laughs it's like the music
OF the ripplrs on the rills,
And her breath is like the fragrance
OF the flowers that deck the hills.
And though the day be drcary,

In the calm that comes at evening,
When the twilight shadows fall.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR RUnRER

word, a substitute for india-rubber.
Her name is Mabel Newlands. She
claims that her discovery possesses
all the desirable proprieties of rtb-
ber, and can be manufactured for
One-half the cost of that article. If
that be true, the offer made for the
secret of her compound, S., 900, from
an Eastern firm, is a ridiculOusly
insignificant proposition, for it will
be worth many millions to her. 1t
seems she realized that fact and
promptly refused the offer.

Misdirected PRAYER.

A very nice and gentle minister

bred horses and sometimes raced
them. A few weeks later he was
asked to invite the prayers of the
congregation for Lucy Grey.
Willingly and gladly he did so for
three Sundays. On the fourth, one
of the deacons told the minister he
need not do it any more.
Why?' asked the good man, with
an anxious look, :" is she dead?"
20, No, said the deacon, "She'
won the steeple-chase."

Bryan on Foreign Missions.
(Presbyterian Standard.

'
With the passing years very
many of us in this great country
have been conscious ofincreasing
admiration and affection for
William, jennings Bryan. How
ever much we have differed and
still differ on political questions
nothing intercepts the outgoing
of our loveforhim and the willing
of pride that we have such an ac-
complished fellow countryman
and consecrated brother in the
family OF God. While attending
the late Peace Conference in New
York he was l;ept busy filing ap-
pointments. One of the engage
ments he made and kept was the
making of an address on t h e
Foreign Mission Board OF t h e
Presbyterian church. In IN e
course of which he said:
"Ifell in with an intelligent Eng
lishman in the Orient and we got
to talking about the national life
and tendencies of our respective
countries. After a long homily
my British friend asserted, as a
climax, that this nation was Civ
en- over to commercialism, and
that in our headlong rush o
wealth and supremacy in COM
merce we had taken little tim
ior anything else. told him that
he was mistaken, and that he
had not looked deeply into the
subject. | told him that to India
from which we had never draw
adollar, we send annually almost
as much money through mis-
sionary channels as does Eng
land, which annually draws from
India $1O0,000,000. "He coul(
hardly credit the statement a
first" said Mr.. Bryan, "but
convinced him of its accuracy.
told my English friend that Grea'
Britain spends ten times as mucl
each year to maintain an army
in India as she spends for educa
ton in that country. also tolC
him that while we Americans cal
not boast that the sun never set
on our empire, we can boast tha'
the sun never sets on our phllan
throgy." Continuing, Mr.. Bryan
, said: "Japan is the galway t'
the Orient. Buddhism is a decay
ing religion, and SO is Shintoisn
, The youngergenerationdo does no
have a deep veneration for thes'
old religions and the mind OF th'
| Japanese is open and teachable
His mind is ready for Christian I
ligion."
2 The gifts of Mr.. Bryan as
q talker are rare. And few in a
the country talk so much. Blu
: he does not stop with mere talk
ing. "That were not enough.

proof of works as well. He ha

was over seventy years old and
very feeble when he attempted to
cross the track in front Of an APP

that a train was also rapidly ap-
preaching on the other ira C k
from the opposite direction He
reached thecentral space between
the two tracks before observing
that the train' were approaching
from both directions, and became
greatly bewildered at his appar-
ent inability to go forward OF
back without danger of being run
down. Miss Guinan, who va s
standing at the crossing. observ'
ed his perlilous predicament and
rushed to his aid. Not having
time to push him off the track
she seized hold of him and held
him firmly between the two trains
as they rushed by. For severa
moments the two were in t h i s
perilous position, a train rushing
by at high rate of speed on eacf
side of them. When the east
bound train had passed t h e J
got to the sidewalk, the old gen
tleman being nearly unconscious
from fright, while Miss Guinal
was appearantly undisturbed by

there was but 36 inches OF space
