Compared With Henry Clay.

& - 4 +
Mr.. Bryan has been Lkened to Henry
Clay, the great commoner" Of hun
dred years ago and of sixty years ago.
The comparison holds together only in
spots. Clay in his time was the mouth
piece Of the majority, the common PEG
pie, and there the comparison holds.
Clay was perpetual candidate" for
the presidency and never landed. Ger
tain organs Of the opposition have con-
ferred that title upon Mr.. Bryan, who
as yet has failed to land Clay was de-
feated three times for the presidency.
Bryan has been defeated twice, and he
wants to try it again.
But Henry Clay spent nearly all his
manhood life in public Office of high
station. He went from the Kentucky
state legislature to the United States
senate before he was old enough under
the constitution to take his seat He
went from the senate to the house of
representatives and Immediately was
elected speaker. He resigned the speak
ership to go to Client and help nego-
tate treaty of peace with England in
1914. He returned to the house and
again was chosen speaker He was
John Quincy Adams secretary of state.
He spent most of his remaining years
in the United States senate. where he
was power of powers.
To keep his hold upon the leadership
Of the Democracy Mr.. Bryan has had
to rely wholly upon his own personal
tty, his own strength of character, his
own capability for making himself
power in the party and with the people.
There have been wars, and opportunity
has come to the head Of the opposing
party to negotiate 4 brilliant peace.
There have been Weighty problems IN

And yet he is a plain private citizen:

outsticking quilts anything in opposi-
ton which he considers fallacious OF
fatuous or fraudulent, but he never
gets corrugated with anger. He has no
cats paws of malice. Neither has he
the velvet touch of pussy in the cor
ner nor the truculent pur Of tabby at
the bowl Of milk. He never flares up,
never gets excited save in the exhorta-
tive manner Of the evangelist who
breaches what he believes, and preach
es it with the emphasis Of junction.
A Progressive Evangelist.
There we have it. Mr.. Bryan is an
evangelist. He goes up and down the
country preaching what he believes It
So happens that his preaching is politi-
cal rather than evangelical, but it is a
religion with Mr.. Bryan all the same
He believes fervently what he preach
es. He may be mistaken today on one
point of doctrine and may believe and
preach otherwise tomorrow, but what
ever he does believe or believes that
3 he believes he breaches with fervor
and spirit. You might call him a pro-
gressive evangelist. When the higher
criticism smites one Of his doctrines
he gets hold of another. That means
progress. Religion and politics have
progressed through the ages by the
shifting to smithereens of dogmas that
have outliyed their usefulness. The
citadel Of modern science is built upon
4 junk heap Of defunct theories. The
junk is useful for a foundation for
climbing purposes.
But we must not assume that Mr..
Bryan is a turncoat. In the main he
sticks to his original tenets with the
tenacity Of a leeeh. He might have
been elected president in 1900 but for
his refusal to run on the Kansas City
platform unless it contained reitera-
ton of the Chicago currency plank.
The party was determined to have him
for its candidate, so a reiteration was
made, together with an attempt to
hide Its light under the bushel Of i'm
perialism as the paramount issue. Mr..
Bryan, of course does not advocate
now the free silver doctrine. The high
er criticism Of Alaskan, Australian,
African and Nevadan gold develop
ments has relegated that dogma to the
dark domains of desuetude where It
is altogether innocuous. Never again
will Its ghost arise.
But there were other planks In the

THE PRUSSTAN FRANCHISE.

The still small voice of reason is heard IN
Prussia on the question of franchise reform
4 little while ago the advocates of equal suf-
frace were engaged in demonstrating" with
all manner of physical violence, which. of
course. was met with violence. There was
much ground for the demand for electoral re
form. Rut.it impossible TO approve or 20
excuse some Of the methods of agitation which
were employed by hot headed Socialists and
which. as we observed at the time went far
toward discrediting and alternating sympathy
from a cause which was fundamentally worthy
Of support and sympathy.
But now the leaders Of the reform move
ment have learned wisdom Or perhaps it is
that other and wiser leaders than those of Il
few weeks ago have come TO the fore. The
kingdom is now in the midst of a campaign
for the election Of a new Parliament, and the
various Liberal factions are taking part in it
with great earneStness. The Social Democrats
particularly are putting forward candidates in
nearly all constituencies, Just as though there
were chance of electing some of them. which
there is not They do not expect to elect one
Of them. although under free and equal
suffrage they would probably elect a plurality
Of the Chamber But they do expect 10 edu-
cate the nation in the needs of franchise re
form.
Their plan is 10 participate in the election TO
the fullest permissible extent protest

DISTINGUISHES - per cent Of those who are
qualified voters IN imperial elections and
which deprives the people Of political power
in 1903 TO almost as great extent as before

logical and on the whole just German mind.
In pressing this campaign they are now care
fully refraning from anything like appeal
10 passion. They address themselves to the
sense of reason and of justice. and on shat
account their propaganda is excrtimG IA much
greater influence than ever before The opin-
Ion is freely expressed by Impartial observers
that if the ballot were secret even under the
present grossly inequitable system Of appOr-
uonment many Social Democratic candidates
would be elected. As il is. about the most
thar can be expected is decrease Of the Con
servative and Agrarian maiorities. and perhaps

THE RoBINSON BILL HEARING.


The argument OF the Reform Club against
the Robinson bill at the hearing before Mayor
Mcclellan was based on the proposition that
..the CITY TRANSPORTATION problem has completely
outgrown the private capitaliStic stage Per
haps it has. The present rapid transit acf,
which the Robinson bill amends, was passed on
that theory and the result has been that no
new subway has been undertaken for several
years. while there is immediate or even re
mote prospect Of additional subway building
If the city transportation problem has outgroWn
the private captalistic stage the city has not
grown up TO the duty of solving its transporta-
ton problem by the use of its own credit. 1t
is idle to point out that private capital will NOT
do this and private capital will not do that
which the city might very well do, when as
matter of fact the city is not doing even those
things which private capital might conceivably
be willing to do.
Moreover the Robinson bill does not prevent
the building Of SUbways on the citys credit ana
the leasing Of them for purposes of operation
10 private company 1t merely provides for
the alternative. if the city fails to build add
tional traction lines. of their construction ny
priyate capitaI on a limited franchise. Under
its terms the city may have Suhways, even If lis
administrations continue to show that they lack
the business capacity to husband its resources
81 that il NAV undertake the municipal solution
Of this problem. which is said TO be beyond pfi-
vate solution.
No one knows in what state the coming leslS-
latfve investigation Will show the citys finances
1o he. Great uncertainty exists regarding the
cfrv's actual borrowing capacity to-day. Two
official statements were put out at the close o.
last year differing by S10.o000t1. and no two
statements since have agreed. When the invcs-
ti-ation is over i may ha found that the city IS
actually much nearer its debt limit than any
estimate hitherto made. Sectional city con
struction may then he out of the question. and
the revelation af waste and extravaganza may
he such rs - defeat the constitutional amend
ment increasing the city'S borrowing capacity.
The Robinson bill provides one avenue of e>cane
from a tangled and dubious situation The queS-
tion is not 50 much how shall have subwayS,
hut whether We shall have them at all.
