Sir: Leaving in allegiance the subject Of the

OF the advanced for discardinS. in the alb

by long usage has become endeared TO many thou
sands of our people. as representing not merely
fine sentiment but rather a living faith for every
day use.
The reasons offered may be fairly sc;nmed up
as follows: THE motto contains ;lne sentiment
which might appropriately be Inscribed upon our
great national monuments in certain eXaltatlon

Just as it would be cheapened by use on postage

One has only to pcTuse the report of our hrst
Secretary of the Treasury, the establishment
OF a United States Mint. to learn that it was in

this viewpoint a coin is something more than

that no such nation the EIittites ever ex-

If the linguistic critics should be asked TO separate
a modern novel of known dual authorship into the
parts written by each author. They would never

Bryan Regarded as Advance Agent of Re-
publican Success.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: William Jennings Bryan. candidate in per-
petuity for the Democratic nomination for Presf-
dent. has said openly that he is willing 10 run
for the third time for the Presidency. This is nor
exactly news. Those who know Mr.. Bryan best
say that he will be willing 10 for President
long there is spark OF breath in his body.
No ever seems 10 suggest that Mr.. Bryan
Will ever be elected to the Presidency. He will
just simply keep running. and a Republican
will keep on being elected Some people are un-
kind enough 10 say that influential Republicans
stand willing to finance Bryan'S campaign for the
nomination. certain do they feel that he would
&c a 'pushover in the election 10 follow.
Mr. Hearst. who has Presidential aspirations OF
his feels that the surest way get rid OF
the peerless is 10 support him now. knowing
that he is foredoomed TO certain defeat This Mr..
Hearst believes, will leave the field open to him
in 1872. In this respect Mr. Hearst's arnbi-
tion has cIOuded his usually clear political vision.
The situation in 1912 will be just as It Will be
1905 The great cOnmOner. greater than ever with
the prestige Of four defeats resting lightly upon
him, will be there ready 70 serve his cOuntrymsa
for the NTH time. and SO on ad infnitum.
During all this time Mr.. Bryan will keep
lecturing $50 lecture and selling his Com
uoner' bargain prices. This weekly paper OF
Mr.. Bryan's is. probably from a newspaper stand
point. the poorest thing ever published I've seen
more entertaining publications given away with a
bar Of soap. However. long the Democratic
party will consent to be used Bryan's advertis-
ing medium there is doubt that The Com
moner' Will be a profitable publication for its
owner.
The most remarkable feature about Bryan's can
didacy is the fact that every one comedies his
ability 10 get the nomination and his inability
win Aside from the Hon. Alexander Troup, there
is not prominent Democrat in the East who
sincerely for Bryan. The Southern and Western
Democrat familiar with the situation. will tell
you that he is for Bryan. if he wants It: but he
hopes he will have the decency to get out OF tho
way for some who stands a chance OF being
elected.
This is the peculiar political situation that
ever existed in this country. and long II
mains It is Bryan will continue act the
advance agent OF Republican success
