PRESS COMMENT
ON Mr.. BRYAN

Three years have passed since the
Parker experiment, and eleven years
have passed since Mr.. Bryan sprang
In a night into party popularity. To
day finds him ripper in years and wiser
in experience, and unquestioned as the
most respected and-popular democrat
in the United States. The hold that
Mr.. Bryan has upon the millions Of
Americans, after two defeats and after
powerful contingents of the so-oalled
democratic press have with systema-
tic persistence misrepresented and
ridiculed him, Is the most magnificent
testimonial that can be given any
man.
Having been hOnored as he has,
there is no incentive except that OF
patriotism for Mr.. Bryan to again lead
what is reasonably regarded in many
quarters as a forlorn hope. But there
Is evidence everywhere that the peo-
pie wish him to lead them, and in his
frank statement published yesterday,
MIR. Bryan declares that while he 10
not seeking the nomination, he viii
accept the responsibility of leadership
II the party wishes him to make the
fight. And he will do this. whatever
the republican platform, and whoever
their leader may be. II there Is an
other in the democratic party believed
to be better qualified to take the party
to victory, MIR. Bryan wishes that
other nominated.
The statement by Mr.. Bryan assures
his nomination. It was practically as
sured before, because he lowered
above every other man in the party;
he only doubt was whether he would Z
accept leadership. The south should
b aalled upon to furnish sound,
strong man, who is also Winning
for second place on the
ticket. AS Mr.. Bryan says, the posi-
,ilty or probability of defeat shoulc

After our love and tears.
To wait for me in that shining place
That lies behind the years.
Suppose I should forget.
After my lips are dumb,
To go 10 you, 0 heart Of my heart
Suppose 1 should not come!
Never yet was a soul,
The past remembering,
But who one moment in the dark,
Doubted the coming spring.
And never yet was one
Who on this earth has trod
But for one instant told his heart
he doubted even God.
Wherefore then blame me, Love.
That, mortal that I be,
I stand one moment, lost, dismayed-
Then face eternity!
