Got His Metaphors MIXED.

Senator Stone, of Missouri. doesn't
often speak in the Senate. but when
he does ne is listened TO with the
closest attention. He delivered yester-
day q carefully prepared speech on the
Unending Brownsville affair. and under
the influence of his eloqUence he wan
dered away aimiessly at times from his
written text Then he got twisted up in
his metaphors. For example, he said;
''The Senator from Massachusetts tMr.
Lodge demands his modicum Of aromatic
salvc. and the Senator from Ohio tMr.
Foraker demands his laurel wreath with
out a missing link
The galleries and the Senate laughed,
and the Missouri statesman seemed quite
pleased at the hit he had made,

THIE1an, Simply TiIIman.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The attitude of Senator Tillman in re-
gard to this Brownsville affair is mex
picable on any other ground than that
II is simply Senator Tnlman. He has
sought to oppose the views and feelings
of the people throughout the South. his
own State included. whom he is supposed
to represent, and joining with those who
are antagonizing the President in this
matter, principally for their own poll
tical ends. to make mockeTy of justice.

MR.. BRYAN'S ATTITUDE.
His Acceptance OF Nomination
Depends on Certain Conditions.

FROM William J. Bryan's Comm6nar.
The Sioux City Journal has an editorial
based upon the claim that AIr. Bryan
said. such q high honor as the Presi-
dental nomination is something that no
American citizen should decline" The
Journals editorial is All very interesting.
to be sure. But the sentence quoted by
the Journal was not employed by Mr..
Bryan. He simply stated in Topeka, what
he stated elsewhere. that he was not
ready to make an announcement on the
nomination. Whether a nomination
should be- declined or accepted depends on
conditions under which the offer is made.
The platform IS matter to De consider
ed; the character of the organization is
also important. and the general line to
be pursued in the campaign cannot be
ignored. The platform ought 10 fit the is
sues; the candidate ought TO TT the plat
form. and the party organization should
be in harmony with the parJy's purpose.
