Bryan's Profanity.
Lowell Couricr-Citizen,


Mr.. Bryan is getting back to his
''crown of thorns. cross of gold style
of oratory. it appears. and with the us
ual effect of evoking Il storm Of cheer
ing. TO his audience at Joliet ne re
marked with pious emphasls-~We can
hear him saying it:
Il am willing to go down on my knees
every morning and say to my Father
in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread but God forbid that | should
make my countrymen go down ON their
knees at morning and say to a trust
maGnate, Give us this day our daily
bread and have him answer. Il Will
if YOU vote the ticket I want YOU to-
The desired inference seems to b"
that if one is foolish enough to vote
for Judge Taft one will have to get
down on his knees daily and pray to
the standard Oil Company for daily
bread or to some other trust; whereas.
if one votes for M. Bryan there Will
be no such necessity 1t is evident that
such wild talk could convince none but
the ignorant; and it is this flaGrantly
senseless appeal to class hatred and
passion that we dislike most of all Mr..
Bryan's drawbacks. His ordinarily
sophistries of finance and economies
are even worse, and even more dam
gerous. But this recurrent effort to
carry people off their feet by pious
phrase. and to cause them in NOM
ent OF warm enthusiasm to take po-
sitions absolutely devoid of reasonable
ground, is worst Of all. Mr.. Bryan did
it once before when he Stampeded his
first convention with his sounding ora
tory about the "cross of gold" Cooler
reason showed that this was a tinsel
speech, nagrantly offending against
good taste Calmcr reason will in time
show that the pervcrson of our Lord S
prayer to the cheaper uses of a polit-
ical stump was no better. But for the
moment Mr.. Bryan is not above using
it-and using it for his own selfish ends,
to create an impression he knows alb
solutely to be false, Can those sensi-
tive people who object to Mr. Taft $
Unitariansm point to a single instance
in which he has 50 far forgotten his
dcrorum as to take some of the most
sacred words in the Bible and twist
them to inspire his hearers with a po-
litical lie?

One of the clearest indications of a
general belief in the success Of the Re
publican ticket at the polls is the
steady revival of business all over the
country. 1t is, Of course, a most
ridiculous idea that the natural opera =
tions of business, which have their
roots far below the area of political
agitation, can be disturbed in any
material degree by the election of thia;
or that man as President or even by
d transfer of power from one of tbs
great parties to the other. And this
is peculiarly the case at present when
the tariff tn" only matter which might
possibly exercise a disturbing influence,

Election Day in Canada.

This is election day in Canada and
politics have been smmcring there for
the past few weeks just as they have
been on this side of the border. The
activity there is not attracting much
attention among our own people, but
the Canadians refuse to get greatly cx
cited over our American political cam
paign. The Liberal party in Canada
has been in control of things 70" the
past dozen years and in the present
House Of Commons at Toronto has a
majority of &C. 1t seems reasonably
certain, if we may judge anything
from the Canadian political prophets,
that the Liberal majority will he cut
down and there is even a possibility of
q Conservative victory.
Whatever the difference is between
the two parties, it is certain that I'M
der the Liberal regime Canada has en-
jCyed remarkable prosperity and has
witnessed Il great development of its
resources. When the revenues of !he
Liberals came into power in 1895, they
are $96, 800 900 for 1905. Where the debt
of the country had increased SllS,nm, 900
in the IS years of Conservative rule
preceding 1896. tn" increase under The
II years Of Liberal rule has been only
$1,000. 900. The per capita debt is now
less than $i5. as compared with a 81
per capita DEBT in 1896. There has been
II great extension in commerce, Z large
extension Of transportation facilities.
Only Il few days ago Canada placed d
loan of So. 100000 at par, the interest
rate being Sig per cent. This loan is
placed for the construction of the
trdnscor lincntal railway and its accep-
tanCc in these times at such a favorable
rate is considered by Canadians with
much satisfaction as an evidence of
general confidence in the present fran
the larger prosperity of the future.
OF course the Conservatives say that
Canada would have made just as muSll
or greater progress had they been in
control and that their policies will con
tiuue and spread the period of good

will be seriously retarded.

AT every alumni meeting l have at

Of Gov. Hughes have been discussed, and
at the alumni banquet yet to be held some
action may be expected.
The honor and regard which Brown
men throughout the land felt for John
Hay in his lifetime have been In large
measure transferred 70 Charles +. Hughes.
1T is probably too early In ths year for
the formation Of a Hughes league. but a

to communicate with the alumni through

There is no alumnus OF Brown more
loyal to Its interests than Gov. Hughes"
President Faunce concluded.
