ably Of such al policy, under certain
conditions, and It is evident that either
Of them would prefer Bryan to Roose-
velt--if that counts for anything.
The whole difficulty with Prof. Low
seems to be his personal opposition
to Mr.. Bryan because of his weakness
for the common people. Low belongs
TO the upper air and solar walk"
class of public men. Learned and
scholarly, his associations have always
been with the rich, from whom he
has imbibed the prejudice against
Bryan, which is characteristic of po-
litical mugwumpery Being himself
extremely conservative, he is yet bold
enough to say that the radical Roose-
welt can defeat the radical Bryan be-
cause "the propertled class has turned
from the Democratic leader.
1t is an argument that lacks the
cohesive quality Of good sense and
sound judgment.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-28
MUGWUMP ARGUMENT

In an effort to show that Mr. Bryan
will probably not be elected president
of the United States next year, Prof.
A. Maurice Low writes long disqui-
sition to the National Review, a maga-
zine published in London. The article
is intended to be fair and non-par-
tisan, as it will be remembered that
Prof. Low is a very prince of mug
wumps. But right in the heart of
his argument he says:
''Mr. Bryan can count on the active
opposition of capital, but he can also
rely with confidence upon the loyal
support of labor, and that class which
is one degree higher in the social
scale than the workingman."
This is indeed confusing. In this
country elections are determined by
the number of votes cast. We are
not quite sure what Prof. Low means
by that class which is one degree
higher in the social scale than the
workingman," but it must be rep
resented by numbers which, added to
the workingmans vote, would most
assuredly give Mr.. Bryan very large
majority over capital
In other words Prof. Low, although
seriously questioning the chances OF
Mr.. Bryan's election, comedies to Mr..
Bryan the full vote of what is now
picturesquely described as "the COM
mon people" And If they don't con-
stitute a majority then Abraham Lin
coin must have been seeing double
when he expressed amazement at their
number
""Mr. Bryan's speech in favor OF the
government ownership Of railways"
continues Prof Low, "and his reiter-
alton of the wisdom of that policy,
as we'll as his other. advanced ideas,
have again turned the propertied class
against him." Now this Is merely
assertion, unsupported by fact. Who
constitute the ''propertied class? II
that signifies the owners and man
ayers Of railroads. even they are di-
vided on the question Of government
ownership. for such men as Hartman,
Gould ana Ingalls, have spoken favor
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-28
TIMlDITY THAT is FATAL

Timidity also hinders freedom. Thou
sands of able young men and young
women in this country are ambitious to
make the most of themselves, but are
fettered completely or held back by
an abnormal tlmidity a lack of self
faith. They feel great unused powers
within struggling for expression, but
fear that they may fail The fear of
being thought forward or egotistical
seals their lips, palsies their hands and
drives their ambition back upon itself
to die Of inaction. They do not dare
to give up a. certainty for an uncer-
tainty; they are afraid TO push ahead.
They wait and walt, hoping that some
mysterious power may liberate them
and give them confidence and hope.
Many people are imprisoned by ignor-
ance. They never get the freedom
which education gives. Their mental
powers are never unlocked. They have
not the grit to struggle for emancipa-
tion, the stamina to make up for the
lack of early training, or they think
they are too old TO begin. The price
their time OF life, and so they plod
upon low plain when they could have
gained the heights where superiority
dwells.
Others are bound by superstition or
the fetters OF prejudice which make
their lives narrow and mean. These
are the most hopeless OF all. They are
50 blinded that they do not even know
they are not free, but they think other
people are In prison.-Success Magazine.

GOT THE WRONG COOP

A. ]. Cassatt, late president of the
Pennsylvania railroad, told at
luncheon at the Philadelphia Country
club a railroad story.
"a western broker" he said, "moved
from the city out into the country. He
moved far out, and, since the railroad
was small and the train service poor,
he travelled to and from town by car
riage or automobile exclusively.
Deciding after time to keep chick
ems, he ordered patent chicken coop.
and on the day it was expected, set out
in a dray to fetch it home from the
freight office.
"He reached the railroad station,
which he had never seen before, after
an hours drive. No one was in sight,
but there was his chicken coop, and
with his mans help he soon had it ON
the dray and set off homeward again.
"A hundred yards or so down the road
he met chap in blue uniform, with
the title station master in gold letters
ON his blue cap.
"'Hey there exclaimed this chap ex-
citedly, what the dickens have you got
on that dray?'
"'My new chicken COOP the broker
calmly answered.
"'Chicken coop, be hanged shouted
the station master. That's Muddy
Junction. "-Philadelphia Press.

UMBRELLA AND SUIT CASE

"The best that can be said of a man
who carries along the streets and in
railroad stations and other crowded
places suit case with an umbrella
tucked through the straps of it, said
Mr.. Gwillbly, "is that he is thoughtless,
but for such thoughtlessness there is
no excuse.
''It was bad enough to have to stum-
BILE over the old time valise when SO
carried about, but there was this to be
said Of 1t, that the valise had soft
corners; it was more or less compressi-
BILE; if you stumbled over valise you
were at least preserved from barking
your shins or tearing your clothes on
1T. But 1t is not so with the modern,
rigid framed, sharp cornered suit case.
ION this, carried low down in a
crowd, out of sight, and projecting as
1t does out for long distance in front
of and behind the person carrying it,
to mix with peoples legs around, you
can cut and bruise yourself woefully.
$50, in a crowd, the suit case by it.
self is menace and danger; and the
man who would carry suit case care
lessly must be an Indifferent person
indeed.
when we can say that of a man
who would carry just suit case so,
what must we think of man who,
quite ignoring, quite thoughtless of all
other people, but thinking only of him
self and simply to save himself trouble,
carries one with an umbrella sticking
out forward and back of it from under
its straps, for people to trip over?
why, really, hate to characterize
him. 1t has been said that bad man
ners is worse than crime-what should
be said of the selfish thoughtlessness
of man who would carry about suit
case with an umbrella thrust through
the straps thereof."-New York Sun.

popular clamor and unwise legislation.
BY the process of the selection OF it's
members It was thought they would
be removed as far as possible from tenn
porary popular influence. The exercise
on caution may be considered obliga-
tory on the senate and It would fail
or It's high purpose without such exer-
clse. The presence in the senate cham
per OF unworthy men is more a refiec-
tlon on the state which sent them than
on the body itself.
Presidential Possibilities
Two conflicting opinions concerning
the political situation are of interest
as relating to the chances of Vice
President Fairbanks for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination. Accord
ing to some he is in danger of having
the ground cut from under his feet bv
Senator Foraker. This opinion is based
on the presumption that Fairbanks is
aligned with the "reactionaries." or
what might be termed the "Old Guardo
of McKinley's time.
Foraker undoubtedly could command
considerable support from the con-
servative Republicans, perhaps as
much as the vice president. In addition
he is an aggressive and resourceful
fighter His boldness in challenging
the administration and the dash and
brilliancy with which his campaign
promises to be conducted, cannot fail
to arouse admiration on the part of
the people. Should h9 win in the
Brownsville investigation IL will give
him o support among delegates from
certain quarters scarcely obtainable
otherwise. Thus, It Is argued with
plausibility, Foraker will draw support
from those inclined toward Fairbanks
and at the same time a popular sup
port which the latter cannot COM
mand.
The other theory is also supported
by plausible arguments. 1t is that in
event that the Taft boom fails, Presi-
dent Roosevelt will throw his support
to Mr.. Fairbanks. The latter has been
popularity regarded as not altogether
in sympathy with the president. Prob
ably this Is due as much as anything
to the fact that he was closely identi-
fled with the Mckinley forces and prob
ably would have received their support
In 1904 had Mr.. Mckinley lived.
But no suspicion has been cast on
the loyalty of the vice president to Mr.
Roosevelt. On the contrary, he left the
senate to accept the second place on
the ticket against the advice of his
most intimate counselors. In the cam
paign he supported his chief loyalty.
Since then he has been deprived of
the opportunity to be heard on the
floor of the senate, but on every pub
lie occasion where he has made a
speech, MIR. Fairbanks has lauded the
administration and it's policies. Con-
sequently no charge of irregularity
can be brought against him nor has the
president ever adversely criticised him,
at least openly, as he has others.
The fate of the Taft boom rests with
Ohio. Having precipitated the fight, it
is now up to the Taft forces to make
good, for if they lose there the presi-
dent will scarcely undertake to press
the boom In other parts of the coun-
try,
