ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.

BRYAN.
 If Presl1ent Roosevelt really did shake his finger at Morgan and Rog- CTS and tell them they will face an indignant people" unless they shall stand aside and permit conservatism to frame the laws of thls country, he die that for which grateful citizen ship will one day erect to his memory a noble monument
 The presidents popularity is based upon just such splendid acts and deeds as these. which testify to bis sincerity and courage. He plainly means what he says, and he is patriot enough to see that the long fight which the democratic party has made on behalf of the people must some day be won. And Theodore Roosevelt has done more toward winning the dem ocratic fight than any president who has occupied the executive office with in the last half century.
 Under the fostering care and pro tection of the republican party, laws have been enacted or prevented which made the great corporations greater and enabled them to enter into gigan- tic conspiracies in restraint of trade and for the robbery of the people. It has been the fashion for prominent republicans to serve these trusts and corporations. which in return served the republican party and kept friends of the trusts continuously in office. The people could get no hearing be- cause they were deceived into voting for vested interests" lest the busi- pess of the country might be over turned
 The democratic party. year after year. has hurled its thunderbolts against the trusts and warned the peo- pie against the utilization between the republican leaders and the great corporations. Twice have the people misconceived the issue and refused to elect William J. Bryan to the presi- dency apparently on the ground of his alleged radicalism. But thanks to the honesty and courage of Theo- dore Roosevelt the people have learned that Mir Bryan has never been 100 radical, and that in the light of developments of the last two years he Is in reality conservative. being both safe and sane.
 The day is rapidly approaching when the people must again decide who is their real friend. Roosevelt will not again be a candidate. His party leaders do not sustain or coun- tenance his great work of shaking the big stick at the trusts With a senate composed almost wholly of re- publican corporation lawyers who in
 urn will dictate the nominees of tAe next republican national convep ton, Roosevelt will not even be giver chance again to head his party tick. | et
 There is one hope ahead. William J. Bryan, man of courage, honesty and sincerity, a true friend of the people. will in all human probability i be the democratic nominee. He as
 president will not only push forward ] the work of dissolving the gigantic trusts and compelling the robber ba
 rous to disgorge and retire, but he l will of necessity go further. as ipdi' cated by his democracy, and proceed to eradicate the curses which have made the trust conditions possible He will do that which President Roosevelt has not dared to do, and that is to demonstrate that high protective tariff is the foundation and chief support of the trusts. The peo pie are beginning to realize these
 facts and with that realization once
 actively developed, Mir. Bryan will
 succeed Roosevelt in the presidential chair and democratic majority will I appear in the senate and house.
