THE EVOLUTION OF BRYAN's IDEAS

The remark Of Mr.. Taft that Mr.
Bryan had been hunting for twelve
years for a popular issue on which he
might be elected is the calm, judicial
utterance of q sensible man. II Is
known to al that Mr.. Bryan has been
the champion Of silver, the enemy Of
imperialism, the friend Of government
ownership, and now he appears % .
simple democrat Of the old school
with the tariff as his main issue.
What does such . change Of ideas In.
dictate? Does 1t mean that Mr.. Bryan
sees the error Of his ways every four
years and tries to do better By start.
Ing all over with . new issue or does
1t mean that ne retains ell his old
ideas and merely makes his stock
richer by adding new ones? The lat
ter policy seems hardly possible as his
speeches this year have contained no
reference to either silver or imperial.
ism. We are forced then to conclude
with Mr.. Taft that the evolution Of
Mr.. Bryan's ideas Is due entirely to
frantic search for a popular issue
rather than to deep.seated convic.
tions. Success Is supposed to &c the
result OF not making the same mis-.
take twice. but Bryan has twice made
the mistake Of picking up an unpopu.
lar issue and there IL every reason to
think that ne has even sinned third
time In the same way. Such . course
does not inspire respect nor conf.
dence. MIR. Bryan has the orators
magnetism which seduces the crowd
20 long as Il Is under the influence OF
his voice and personality. But let
man analyze his statements 10 the
calmness OF his own home, far from
the contagious enthusiasm OF p0liti.
cal meeting, let him ponder them we'll
and he will soon see that they are but
the catch phrases and ideas OF the
demagogue. AS contrasted with the
logical, practical plans OF Mr.. Taft,
they arc tinsel to pure gold or shoddy
to fine wool. The story Is told Of a
simple countryman who remarked that
he had voted twice for Bryan and
that times had been good and he
guessed he would do we'll to vote again
for him. With the simple unreason.
Ing faith Of such men Mr.. Bryan Is
omnipotent, but fortunately the great
mass Of voters is made up Of thinking
men and women and they know that
Mr.. Bryan is not to be relied on fol
anything except sounding brass and
tinkling cymbals.

COCHRAN ON TAFT.

There Is q remarkable unanimity OF
opinion on Judge Taft 10 all parties
and In all sections. Men pay tribute
to his remarkable ability even where
party politics may exert such an infiu.
ence as to demand the espousing Of
the rival presidential candidates
cause. AS an illustration w. Bourke
Cochran In an interview at Boston
the other day said:
"Yes, / shall support Bryan; he is
the best candidate the Democrats
could put up Taft, however, is the
greatest and best qualified nominee
ever offered in any republic in the
world. He Is q greater man than
Roosevelt, and when surrounded by
the same environment that made
Roosevelt great will prove bigger
man. Taft Is . wonderful admins
traitor, the greatest the country has
ever seen and Is q wonderful worker"

FUTILE OBJECTIONS.

Objections against Judge Taft as a
candidate are not lacking but they are
either SO Insignificant that they are
not worth considering or they are so
important that he gladly meets them
with personal explanations. or the
first class is the feeling that the
Brownsville incident may cause Taft
to lose some OF the states where the
negro vote Is an important element.
This is hardly possible for the negroes
would have nothing to gain by switch
ing to the democratic party. More
over Mr.. Taft's feelings toward the
negro have ever been OF the most cor
dial and sympathetic. He knows him
intimately for he was reared In Gin
cinnati practically a southern city,
where he was brought into daily con.
tact with him. Then again certain
people weakly contend that Mr.. Taft
was ungenerous In mentioning Gener-
al Grants drinking habits when he
was giving eulogy Of him. They
maintain that this will ALLEVIATE the

lied as whirlwind tour and II Ger.
tainly seems to be having the sweep
ing.all-beiore-it effect Of those cleans
Ing and forcible currents OF air. His
chief strength comes from his ability
to adapt himself to his audience.
This he does with great tact. In the
great gatherings Of laboring men at
Racine and Allis, Wis, he naturally
devoted his time to telling his audi.
ence what the republican party had
done for them and what they
could count on from the party II 1t
continued In power. And he had
much to tell and to promise, for the
party under Roosevelt has done much
to better the condition Of the working
man, especially as regards the safety
Of railroad employees and the RESPONSE
bility Of employers. In the country
districts Of Minnesota and Iowa the
farmers are still capable OF getting
hot and excited over the tariff ques.
ton and Mr.. Taft told them In unmis.
taxable terms that, though he be.
lieves In the revision OF the pres
ent tariff schedule, ne Is now
aud always a strong protectionist.
And his arguments appealed to the
clear.minded farmers who had been
studying the question all their life.
Everywhere money Is q vital issue and
the former love OF the democrats for
silver is not the strongest point In
their favor. So every reference made
by Mr.. Taft TO unsound currency and
the hard times of '96 secured for him
the thoughtful attention Of his hear.
ers. On all occasions he has fearlessly
declared to what boat he belonged and
why, and the upshot Of the whole trip
so far seems to be that Mr.. Taft's pop

ONLY WAY TO TARIFF REVISION

From the New York Globe and Commercial
Advertiser. Ind't Rep,l
Mr.. Tafts answer to Mr.. Bryan's
rambling tariff speech is simple and
direct. On March 4 next, II elected
President, ne will call Congress In
extra session, aud when 1t assemblies
will submit a message strongly urging
q revision Of the tariff along lines sd-
vocated by him two years ago In his
Bath speech.
That Is to say, he will urge not only
revision but revision downward as far
as 1t can be carried without endanger-
Ing the principle Of protection and
taking away employ ment from Ameri.
can workingmen. He is opposed to
all tariff levies that are higher than
needed to eQualize labor cost at home
and abroad and give the American
manufacturer q chance to continue In
business. There Is small doubt that
Mr.. Taft expressed what Is practically
now the overwhelming public view
with respect to the tariff The coun.
try wants revision, and 1t wants the
revision to be made along protection
list lines. This he and his party will
give at the earliest practicable day.
And what of revision II Mr. Bryan
should be elected? There will be no
revision at all; at least there Is small
chance OF II. After March next, no
matter what the result OF the presi-
Dental election and no matter which
party controls the House OF Represen.
tatives, the Senate will be Republican
for at least two years. 1t Is impos-
sible to get tariff bill passed when
the two houses Of Congress are not In
political harmony. The subject be.
comes a football OF politics and moth.
ing Is done. The only hope OF revision
is In the election OF Taft and a Re-
publican House OF Representatives.
In so far as Mr.. Bryan is able to per.
suade the country that tariff revision
Is demanded he Is making an irresut-
able argument for the election OF his
opponent.

Tells Of Sage Brush
Country Changed
Into Beautiful
Homes.

HYDE PARK, Sept. 27-After three
weeks sojourn In Idaho, we are now
home, and will again send you few
items. While in Idaho, and northern
part OF our beautiful Cache Valley.
we were very much surprised at the
rapid changes that have taken place
during the last few years. To see
how the dry, barren sage brush
country, has been changed into fruit.
full fields OF grain, alfalfa, and in some
places canals and fine young orchards,
is truly astonishing. A conservative
estimate Of the grain raised In the
northern part Of Cache Valley, from
Bear River north, would be about
three hundred and fifty thousand
bushels.
Preston, the metropolis Of northern
Cache, is rapidly forging to the front,
and is surely destined to become a
great city. Some of the finest farms,
orchards and homes Of the valley are
there. Should any one think that
northern Cache can not produce fine
fruit, let them 90 to Preston and learn
their mistake. In the orchard Of
Robert II. DANES, we measured
an apple that was IA inches in cir
conference. 1t was not the only
one, but there we're many sin liar
ones. The beet crop Is immense, and
the people ali have plenty to do, to
take care OF the abundance Of good
things they are blest with.
Beet digging commenced last week
in Hyde Park, but the storm soon
stopped it. The crop is an averal Q
one. 1t will require great deal Of
labor to harvest 1t. There Is con-
siderable sickness here at present.

citizens is quite sick, and last week

Grand Army vote. The Grand Army
men, however, have sense enough 10
see that the mention was made In or.
der that the orator might show his
hero to be as great victor In moral
lines as he was In the fighting of real
battles. A really serious objection
comes from the labor unionIsts when
they maintain that certain Of his de.
cisions, rendered while he was on the
bench, are unfriendly toward them.
This objection Mr.. Taft has met fairly
and sQuarely. He maintains that the
use Of injunctions IL at times an abso-
lutte necessity, that IL helps the eKpe.
ditious and orderly conduct Of legal
affairs, and that there IL no reason
for dispensing with 1t because 1t has
sometimes been abused. All fair.mind.
ed labor unionists will admit that
Judge Taft has never abused the pow
er and that he Is a fit man to see that
1t is properly used They are coming
more and more to realize that no class
of men stands more In need of the pro-
lection Of the law than do laboring
men. Public opinion is always with
them so long as they keep their organ.
izations within the limits OF law and
order. The American people are so
thoroughly In favor OF maintaining
law and order that anyone who cham.
pions them so faithfully and forcibly
as Judge Taft cannot fail to win their
approval. Time and again Mr.. Taft
has contended that the starvation Of q
nation cannot be lawful purpose Of
mbinations even II the starvation
be effected by lawful means. This has
the ring OF sound common sense and
fair minded people, whether laboring
men or lawyers, will stand by such
principles. BY maintaining that ne
Is the upholder Of injunctions so far as
they I'll necessary place In the exc.
cution OF law and order, Mr.. Taft has
won more friends than Bryan with all
his theories and promises. Another
objection to Mr.. Taft that all have
now practically outgrown has been the
plea that he Is another mans man.
In many respects he does resemble
Mr.. Roosevelt and 1t would be very
regrettable II lie didn't, but with every
speech that Mr.. Taft delivers, hi
shows how strong Is his personality
Until he became a candidate his worl
was done quietly but effectively. Non,

many public men, but 1t was none tn,
