THE AMERICAN
REPUBLIC
SOME THINGS SAID BY WILLIAM
}. BRYAN REGARD
ING 1T.

Now, what kind OF a government
you know that, you will know what
kind of a government you are going
to have A republic is the strongest
government there is, because it rests
upon the hearts of the people. l be-
lieve that 1t is the destiny Of this
government to shake every throne
but by showing the world something
better than force-a government
resting on the hearts of the people.
This is the kind OF government that
the average man wants, because ne
wants justice. he wants wisdom, he
wants strength, and he finds all in a
government resting upon the consent
of the governed. Moreover. the
average man is more interested in
the success of this government than
any other. The uncommon man can
get along under any form of govern
ment; but there is only one kind of
government that the Average man
dares to leave to his children, and
that is a free government in which
the people are the rulers.
when you get to the orm of gov
eminent. you must recognize that
there is always a conflict in opinion
I presume there is no man in the
country who has a higher reputation
as a harmonlzer than | Ihave. !
have been trying for years to har-
monte the democratic party; and
so great is my love of harmony that
/ would like to harmonic the twoI
licans democrats. But | know how
difficult it is TO have harmony where
there is party that has even two
people; for one OF the two will be
radical and the other conservative.
In beginning this government wei
had two great men, Jefferson and
Hamilton. The difference between
them was as wide as the difference
between the East and the West
Jefferson said, Trust the people.
Hamilton said. What precendent have
you for that? Hamilton proposed a
plan of government and with all his
eloquence tried TO get the people TO
adopt it, 1t provides for president
and a Senate to be elected for life,
and for governors of states to be
appointed by the federal government
for life. Jefferson and Washington
refused to hold Office for a third
term. The only man since that has
wanted to run a third term was
man with all the prestige OF al
great and successful war; and he
failed in those times, when most OF
his comrades were serving. II any
republican is so fond of the presl-
dent that he would yield his posi-
ton on this point to keep him there
/ might remind him that If we had
adopted the Hamilton idea we might
never have had Roosevelt, because

How about the election Of senators
for life? The trouble with this gov
eminent is that it is too Hamiltonian
now! When you flnd man who
trusts the people, you find a man
who wants to get the elections as
near to the people as possible. Men
who do not trust the people want to
build up a system between the peo-
pie and their representative.

A Chance for the Very Rich.

Charity shows n disposition to do
something more than begin at home.
She is taking a firm grip on the
problems that lie nearest to her.
Mrs. Sage sets apart S1O,OOO,OOO TO
wrestle with poverty. Mr.. Carnegie
turns from libraries, heroes, and
science to care, for the aged who are
not paUpers. Also comes Abraham
Gordon, Of Midway, Mass, to help
marriage among young working men
and girls with checks for SIS for
furniture
The aim is good citizenship.
The wants that pinch the poor"
stifle it at all ages. Mr.. Carnegie
would encourage it in the aged by
tempering the winds of necessity.
Mr.. Gordon would foster it by help
ing make homes. In progressive
measure, all three methods are good.
But charity will not seize her
greatest opportunity to this end until
some rich ally enables her TO build
homes for the young people of stiY
another class-the best element of
our citizenship. She must reach the
clerks in the stores. the mechanics
at day wages, the boOkkeepers and
stenographers, and professional
men just striking out. They lack
homes and would pay for them.
They would turn Charity's bounty
into a good dollars-and-centsi invest
ment. By repaying the loans with
low interest they would constantly
enlarge the field of her effort. The
benefit would reach to family.
neighborhood. nation.
Isn't it strange none of the very
rich have thought of it?

Women Nurses Wanted.

1t is rather surprising to find that
there is not a single trained woman
nurse in the navy. The army has a
regularly organized corps, and Sur
geOn General Rixey is going to ask
Congress at the next session to sup
ply the deficiency in the other
branch of the service. At present,
says DR.. Rixey, no matter how Sc
we're the illness of the officers and
sailors or how grave the injury or
wound received in the line of duty,
the American bluejacket must rely
for his care in time of trouble upon
81 hospital steward and an appren-
tice. That the tars do not get the
best results under such a system is
perfectly evident.
OF course, the women nurses can
have no place on shipboard, but in
the naval hospitals, where nine
tenths of the more serious cases are
treated, these best of all ministers
10 the sick can and viii do a blessed
work. As DR.. RiXey needs but
$4,000 with which to start his corps,
there should be no doubt that Con-
gress-after Uncle Joe" Cannon
has been properly moIlifed-wiIl

The Ihird-Term Movement.

If the real, honest, innermost
thoughts of all these politicians
could be read, at the moment when
they are declaring that Theodore
Roosevelt must be drafted for 4
third term if he will not have it
otherwise, perhaps there would be
new view of the third-term move
ment.
The President is the strongest and
the most popular man in the coun-
try. The politician who aspires to
be boss in his State, big or little,
finds the name of Roosevelt name
TO conjure with. If that politician
wants-and it is certain that he
does want-tO have a share in the
making of the next Presidential
nomination, he finds that the easy
way to swim is to swim with the
tide; to float on the crest Of the
wave-to declare that he is for
Roosevelt, and that Roosevelt the
country must and will havel
Then, if Mr.. Politician gets on
the delegation, and gets others of
his own ilk as his colleagues; and
if then the President is out of il
finally and irrevocably, what of it?
Mr. Politician is in position to
make terms for himself and his or
ganization with the new dominating
forces in his party.
There is q good deal of this Jock
eying for advantage in connection
with the demand for another term
of Roosevelt. Politicians who want
TO make themselves solid at home,
TO be certain of passing safely over
the crisis of Presidential year
without impairing their leadership,
find the President a most useful
asset, and oft-voiced loyalty to him

Bread Winning Women.

\ deal of interest and suggestion
TePoses in the recent report of the
Census Bureau as to the statistics of
women at work in this country. for
we are informed by it that the exact
number in 1906 was 4,s33. $50. As the
total number Of women sixteen
years of age and over in the United
States was 23,4s5.559 in 1900. the
number now working constitutes
about 200 per cent of this total.
In other words. one woman in
every five is earning her own living.
or at least part of it, and in all
events is getting wages or salary
OF one sort or another. OF course.
women are not expected TO vie with
men in the matter of bread-winninp.
because almost every man takes up
some occupation of profit as a mat
ter of course, to such an extent that
COS per cent may be properly termed
bread-winners.
let the TACT that One-ffth part of
the women of this country are work
ing for money is an astonishing
commentary on the vast economic
and social changes that have come
about in America in the past fifty
years. \ half century ago the
daughters IF well-to-do families
would have scorned to go out at any
sort of employment, and the fathers
and mothers would have been
equally averse to their doing so. Ac-
cording to our present feeling in
the matter. no woman is held in the
slightest degree lower or cheaper
because she sees fit to make what
ever talent she has help in her sup
port.
1t must be remembered, however,
that much of this pursuit of occu-
patton by women is temporary, and
that very many Of them drop out of
the ranks of paid toilers to join the
army of married workers. Man
need not feel especially threatened
rs yet at the incursions of the other
sex into his particular field. There
must always be room for both, and
woman viii inevitably be less the
toiler than man.

Pure English.

Some people of England-new and

by Tbackeray's saying that the
purest English he had ever heard
was spoken by the Americans of
Virginia ''Sah' and ''hyer" did not
come to his ears. Nor did ''idear"
and "bean." Our mother tongue
seemed to him to have been pre-
served and enlivened in the Chesa-
peake tidewater. and it was music
to him, master of English style as
he was.
Another lesson on the same text
is taught by the visit to London of
two American actors-Edward H.
