BRYAN and 1912.

Mr. Bryan out Of it? Not by long
shot. This is what he said in Phiadel.
phia last night:
IL will never be necessary for me to run
for ONCE again. / prefer to do my work
as private citizen. When asked whether

candidate again. l have said that I would
not promise anybody not to be candidate

is still for Organism. and will fight for i,

tach to his words. AS he holds his is the
legitimate democracy. Any effort to
change it. and especially to conform to
the Cleveland brand. will be an effort to
republicanize it, Let that effort appea,
at any time, and he will resist It.
Now then. II Organism is to continue

continue to be the leader? Who under.

The HOLIDAY Terror,

Speaking of the Christmas ghosts
Who come around each year:
There's one especial style of haunt
That fills us now with fear.
The turkey who once walked around
So proud and undismayed
Becomes a constant visitant
To make us all afraid.
Well have him at the daily board
For three more days at least;
a grim reminder of the past,
a specter at the feast.
He whispers to us in the hash:
He's present in the stew;
Where'er we turn we half expect
That he will holler boo"

asks all who believe him to follow to the
hills. The situation has been paralleled
more than once in this country, and some
pathetic scenes have been enacted as
false prophets have worked on the
credulous to part with their worldly goods
in anticipation of the millennium. 1t is
rumored that threats have been uttered
against the prophet of such a nature
that if his dire prophecy is not fulfilled
he will do we'll to retire from the

The DaV After.

From the Baltimore American.
The day before Christmas has become
classic in the familiar poem of the chill
dren. The day after is not exactly classic
but there is much satisfaction in it to the
grown folk. The Christmas preparations
are a bit wearing. and, while d sigh of re-
greet escapes the youngsters that the day
is as far off again as ever. there is bit
of satisfaction to their parents in the fact.
The stores are Fastening to doff their
Christmas garb and to don the new

lutions made much like those last year

will pass also. 1t was good Christmas
day, and if any have not pleasant re-
Elections 1t must be their own fault.

Dewey.

Admiral Dewey at seventy-one retains
his hold on the admiration of the country.
His splendid services are easily, and will
always be easily, recalled. rheumatism
which is no respecter of persons, has laid
its hands, or claws on him, but that is
no reason why he should not see eighty
one. or even greater age. The victorious
sailor is in snug harbor now, and in no
danger from either wind or weather. The
Philippines are growing in importance as
a national possession and factor in east
ern development, and it is impossible to
think of them without thinking Of the man
who in gallant fashion brought them I'M
der American control.

Poe and His Critics.
From the Richmond Times Dispatch.

4 recrudescence Of interest in Poe is
the natural effect of the centenary of
his birth next month. Poe's work has
richly stood the test of time, and the
tone of comment upon his personal life
has steadily grown fairer and more kind
ly since the first harsh biography. Girls
wold's injustice to Poe was great. 1t
subtly colors opinion of the poet to this
day. But the more judicial narrative
of later writer's, like Stedman and Wood
berry and Prof. Harrison, have dispelled
much of earlier misrepresentation. and all
severity has vanished from the best
modern criticisms of Poe.

ticket But would he repeat this per-
Torrance in 1912? From this latest de-
liverance one suspects not. If Organism
is thrown out Mr.. Bryan will follow it.
and either head a ticket of his own, or
his rejected principles
Night before last Mr.. Bryan spoke at
Uniontown. Pa. and in a report of the
meeting this appeared:
"Of the late election he said Mr.. Taft
had been elected through combination
of the financial commercial and industrial
interests of the country. and that he would
rather remain a private citizen than be a
President and be subservient to these in
terests, as Mr.. Taft must be under the
conditions that elected him.
This was not we'll said. No man could
be- or should be. elected President of the
United States in opposition to the ''tinan-
cial. commercial and industrial interests
of the country What would a man so
elected do in office? To whom would he
appeal for support? The interests he cites
are the country's interests. If they are
prosperous. the country IS; If not the
country is not. 4 man who in the high
est place should antagonize the financial
commercial and Industrial interests of the
country would either be promptly pulled
down. or would pull down the country.
Judge Taft was elected by the interests
Mr.. Bryan cites. and in Office must guide
so as to serve them 1t is his duty to
give the country an administration which
will make that secure which is insecure,
and make more secure that already so.
The influence which made Mr.. Bryan S
election impossible last month was the
firm and widespread conviction among the
voters that their affairs would not pros
per in his hands. but that capital and
labor alike would suffer as the result of
his experimentation and great variety of
theories

Our Deficiencies as q Sea Power.
rom the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
In order to carry further af1eld the
question of our rank in the sea hierarchy
and to arrest the foolishness that elbows
us into place we should not occupy. II
may be useful to point out certain dan
gers lurking in our mistaken optimism
These dangers are particularly brought
home to US, because with the ordered ad-
vances in Germany and France our navy
has begun to slide down a wave that
will in three years leave it stranded as a
laggard to France and as a disputed
equal to Japan or italy.

BusinesS!
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.

The firing of coke ovens, the resump-
ton of industrial plants all over the
country, the enlargement of factories. the
increase of rolling stock. the general
equipment of railroads and many other
indications point to the inevitable re-
vival of business with the turn of the
year. Confidence has been almost uni
verSally restored. and that is the back
bone of substantial prosperity.
