NOT SO STEADFAST.
pie.

Mr.. Bryan has enjoyed the distinc-
ton of being steadfast, even stubborn
in his convictions. But he is getting
so anxious to be President that he is
drifting away from his steadfastness of
opinion. In his Madison Square Garden
speech he declared for government
ownership of the railroads. This raised
such storm in the Democratic ranks
that he began to hedge and qualify by
saying that he was for ultimate"
government ownership. This word ul-
innate is a very indefinite one In the
mouth of an ambitious politician like
Mr.. Bryan. 1t will satisfy some of his
Democratic friends, but it will hardly
comfort those who are opposed to the
principle of government ownership be-
cause its adoption would completely
overthrow the extreme states rights
doctrine of the Democracy.
Since Mr.. Bryan has lost the courage

The Japanese War Scare.
philadelphia Press

A more foolish war scare has not been
had in years than the apprehension of a
collision with japan. The break in the
stock market over it last Tuesday was
ridiculous.
Neither country can by any possibility
cross the path of the other. The treat
ment of the Japanese in Francisco
has aroused resentment in Japan. This
is natural. This resentment is being in
dnstriously used by Count Okuma and
his party, ''Progressives, to influence
the next election in 1908 and turn their
minority in the Japanese chamber into
majority. This is natural. too. We do
the like occasionally in this country.
But neither Government is affected by
this. At Washington every effort has
been made to deal justly by the Japan
csc. At Toxic, the japanese Govern
ment, which has troubles of its own.
does its best to satisfy home sentiment
without crossing the line of vigorous
diplomatic action.
This has gone on for months. 1t NAV
go on for years. But collision it can
never reach, for two very simple rea-
sons. The United States will not. japan
can not.
Japan is the ally of England. Beyond
certain point the Toxic Government
can not go without English consent.
This will never be given.
Japan itself needs to recruit after the
Russian war. Its finances, as they stand,
have called for the heaviest taxes and
the largest expenditure Japan has ever
had. A new loan is needed. The Japan
csc trade situation is strained. Its ex-
pansion in new companies, in new enter
prises, in the development of Korea, and
Manchuria and in the awakening of
China, absorb all resources. ANY strain
at this juncture would mean disaster.
The inevitable conflict with Russia
looms before. China must be protected.
Japan cannot turn aside to any lesser
issue.
Newspapers may talk folly in both
lands, but neither nation will act. In
stead, both are under bonds to keep the
peace. All our ends in the East will be
hindered by even the appearance of a
difference with Japan. The United
States needs Japan in East Asia. japan
needs the United States.
1t is awkward that foolish mob in a
graft-ridden city has brought any differ
ences; but these will never lead to more
than diplomatic discussion.

Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, are merely

make the common error of treating
symptoms only. Symptom treatment is
treating the result of your ailment, and
not the cause. Weak Stomach nerves
the inside nerves-mean Stomach weak

inside nerves. Weaken these nerves,
and you inevitably have weak vital or

storative has made its fame. No other
remedy even claims to treat the "inside

of his convictions, as expressed in his
Madison Square Garden speech, he has
become a regular apologist He side
steps and erawfishes quickly when he
finds 1T necessary to do so for allaying
the storms his advanced and positive
declarations arouse in his party ranks.
1t is only a short while since he made
the emphatic declaration that the tariff
would not be the paramount issue in the
campaign of 1908. This provoked an
other protest from the Southern press
and leadership, and Mr.. Bryan is now
trying to explain away or modify his
last declaration as to what would be the
paramount issue"
The Lynchburg News seems to be
greatly pleased with his course. and
says: 'Mr. Bryan has practically
withdrawn his proposition" and quotes
him as saying in a later interview:
The trusts, the tariff, the railways
are the principle points at issue. All
are important, and would not attempt
to fix their relative positions.
So much for the courage of the Peer
less, who sprung into greatness at the
Chicago convention in 1896 when he
made free silver the paramount issue
by the use of the dramatic figure. the
crown of thorns and cross of gold.
When political fa1ir ceases to have
courage enough to stand by the nos
trums he offers to the public his power
to lead departs. Mr.. Bryan's power is
on the wane.

Nh. ROOssVeLT'S CANDIDACY,

There has recently been much agita-
ton, both among Republicans and Dem
ocrats, over the question of whether
Mr.. Roosevelt will permit his name to
be used for the Presidency in 1908.
1t cannot be truthfully disputed that
the masses of the people would enthus-
iastically support him if he would allow
his party to again name him as a candi-
date, and his election would be assured
by even a greater popular majority than
he received in 1904. This is evidenced
from what is heard by every person
who mingles freely with the people.
and by the attitude of prominent public
men toward him and the policies he ad-
vocates.
His popularity with the people is fur
ther evidenced by the hostility which
the opposition press has been manifest
ing to his candidacy in 1908. They pre-
tend to believe he would not be strong
candidate, but the very manner in
which they make the assertion shows
that they do not believe what they are
saying. 1t is argued that Mr.. Roose-
welt, If he consented to lead his party
again, would be greatly weakened by
his declaration, made on the night after
his election in 1904, that he would not
be candidate to succeed himself.
We think it almost a certainty that
the President will not be the Republican
candidate in 1908; but his declination t.
run will not be caused by any or either
OF the reasons that are being stated by
those who are opposing him, be they
Republicans or Democrats. A man o.
Mr.. Roosevelt's mould and character
cannot desire to take upon himself tn,
trying and serious responsibilities O.
President of the United States excep
from one of two reasons. They are
the distinguished honor of being select
ed as Chief Magistrate of this grea
Nation and an earnest sense of patriots
duty. The emoluments of office coul,
not influence such a man as Theodor
Roosevelt.
If he first sought the eminent posi-
ton for the mere distinction and glamou
1t carries with it, he has been supple,
with abundant opportunity to crafty tn
most ardent desires of any man on thes,
lines. But, if he wished to be mad
President from high sense of publ
duty, the voice of his fellow-country
men loudly proclaims that he has dis
charged with ability and fidelity unsur
passed in history every trust and re
sponsibility he assumed as the chosel
ruler of this country.
The people, we do not mean the poll
ticians, would like to see Mr.. Roosevelt
elected again. They have faith in hin
and great confidence in his policies. H
could not, however, accept anothe
term, with the growing responsibilitie
of that office, except at the sacrifice O
his personal interests. If, however
he does respond to a call from hi,
people, and, in the interest O.
the great governmental policies he ha.
inaugurated, consent to again become &
candidate, he can rest assured that h
has said and done nothing that will pre-
clude him from honorably standing al
the candidate of his party and his peo
pie.
