After he made his exit through the
hole he extinguished the fire so not
to burn up the old coop. He then
scaled the board fence which any six
year old boy can do-and hiked for a

Nh. BRYAN ON THE pEMoci
S OUTLOOK.

- - - - - 81
In another column Will be found
utterance from Mr. Bryan on IT
Democratic Outlook which shout
command wide attention. To our
mind, there has appeared no pro-
norncemcnt from any source so keenly
critical Of the un-Democratic element
Of Democracy or so seasonahIy optim-
istic as to the prospects of honest, ag-
gressive Democracy.
The growing strength of Demo-
cratic principles and their vindicas
tion in popular sentiment and legisla.
ton, as pointed out by Mr.. Bryan, can
not be disputed. On the trust, the
tariff, the railroad, labor, and impe-
rialism-on every issue on which
Democrats have taken positive and
clear-cut position-the sentiment of
the country has been steadily ranging
itself with the Democratic view and
against the Republican policy. What
strength the present administration
has with the people is based on its
appropriation of few Democratic
ideas and its helf-hearted adoption of
Hattiesburg daily news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1907-1908, 1907-07-14
