SO far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, they are not doing much talk
ing as yet. concerning Democratic
Presidential candidates. 1t would
seem from the newspaper talk all
over the country that Mr.. Bryan has
the field all to himself, but | note
that he recently said that he had not
made up his mind to be candidate.
That is taken here to mean that If
Roosevelt intends to force his own
nomination on the Republican con-
veution, which he can do if he wants
to, and many people believe that is
what he means by all his recent
grandstand plays. that Mr.. Bryan
would think it useless to run, mas
much as Roosevelt has stolen all his
thunder and he (Bryan) recently has
been booming Roosevelt in his paper
the Commoner.
1t would be rather embarrassing for
Mr.. Bryan to run against a man who
has been advocating (even though 1t
had string to iD every theory and
idea that Bryan has advocated in the
last ten years with the exception of
the silver question, and that is n dead
issue. There is only one thing in
which Roosevelt has not gone as far
as Bryan, and that is the government
ownership of railroads. Mr.. Bryan
probably would not have that as an
issue in his platform, because exery
Southern State would stand against
him in the convention to the man, and
that means something.
There are other men in the Demo-
cratic party who are mentioned as
Presidential possibilities. In the So
called conservative class there are eN-
Attorney General Judson Harmon, of
Ohio. and Judge Grak, of Delaware,
Judge Gray would be persona non
grata to the advocates of Mr.. Bryan
because he went off with the Demo.
cratic opposition to Bryan in 1896,
and 1900. Judge Harmon did the
same thing in 1896, but returned to
the fold in 1900. Both of them prob
ably would be met by the same stay
at home vote that so crushingly de
feated Judge Parker in 1904. There
really has risen here some honest SEN
timent for southern man for the
nomination, Many northern Demo-
Gratis endorse the sentiment for the
reason, as they say that the south
has for so many years furnished the
bulk of the Democratic electoral vote,
that 1t were high time she should step
into the arena and demand some sort
of recognition for her loyalty to the
principles of Democracy. In this
connection the only name mentioned
is that of Senator Charles A. Culber-
son, of Texas. than whom there is
no abler, truer Democrat in the ma
tion. no cleaner. no more conserva-
tive in the sense that he does with
the cookie burr of conceit under his
tail as does the present man in the
White house.
Another able and fearless man who
is mentioned, a man who is the peer
of Mr.. Bryan on the rostrum, is the
Hon. Charles A. Towne. of New York

PRIDE ACCOMPuIsnEs WONDERS.

AS an example Of what a little
ideality and energy can accomplish,
the appearance Of the w. r. Dewitt
farm residence on the Blacksmith
Fork Canyon road is very striking.

that this little flower garden gives
the average passer.by a thrill OF

The point is this-if the Dewitts

Pleasant and inspiring surroundings
about any property can be secured by
exercising little energy at spare times,
and at no great expense. Isn't 1t
worth while? THE REPUBLICAN,
rather likes the idea of giving the
farm a name; it not infreQuently
serves as an incentive to make that
farm worthy OF note in some particu.
lar way.

The public may rest assured that

summer have made 1t impossible to

A LITTLE MORALlZING.

No great thing was ever accoln'
plished by a person unwilling 70 do
little things. The training ec.ssaTy
to enable one to see and take advan-
tage Of an opportunity to do great

smaller things that come to hand
daily. Longing to occupy, high posi-

never brought either except as that
longing spurred its possessor to ener-
getic action and application of thought
and time. II parents could get the
children to grasp this idea there would
be more genuine success and fewer
disappointed hopes.

Key, then lawyer, had gone aboard
under flag of truce to plead for his
release. The bombardment OF Fort
McHenry began while he was on
board, and he was held throughout the
night. With the breaking of the
dawn, and the discovery that the flag
of his country was still flying from the
fort, came the inspiration for the
poem.
It is interesting to- note that the
fort ITSELF which. gave birth to the
song now accepted as the national air
