EDITORIAL COMMENT.
BRYAN and Taft.

These two men do not differ essen
TALLY in the final analysis of their
programs. They would return to
competition, which socialism and the
trusts would abolish. They want
the struggle for survival to go On;
1t is to be fair fight, but a fight,
and for wealth, too, between capital
and labor. Bryan, having had more
time to reflect and having lived out
west, where the problems of business
and politics are clearer and simpler,
sees them more definitely than
Roosevelt and Taft, who have been
men of action always. For example,
| Bryan goes at the problem of power
ty consciously. All his policies are
directed, as he himself points out,
at excessive wealth, which is, at bot
| tom, the same as excessive poverty.
| And besides the remedies listed
above, he advocates an inheritance
tax and, more important still, "a
tax on incomes as a regular item in
our fiscal system" So does Taft ad-
vocate these measures; but Bryan
sees their relation to other taxes.
The constitutional objection of the
supreme court Bryan meets with a
proposition to amend the constitu-
ton. Taft regards this as unneces-
sary Indeed, Taft does not want any
more legislation than is necessary to
make our present laws effective. And
there we have a big difference be-
tween the two men.
Bryan sees the part privileges play
in our system; he sees clearly as a
cause of injustice, and he would leg
islate and legislate and legislate till
he had abolished all the artificial ad-
vantages that are granted by govern
ment
Taft, a proved executive and a
born Judge, would depend upon the
executive and judicial power of the
government to achieve the same end,
more vaguely seen. Bryan is not
of the executive type, and there is
reason to fear that he is no better
Judge of men than Roosevelt to say
nothing of Taft; but, seeing the end
more clearly, he would not depend
so much upon the men he appointed
and the courts to prevent and punish
evil as he would upon legislation TO
remove the cause. And, unlike Taft,
but very much like Roosevelt, Bryan
would preach and teach and-lead.
We must not only see to it that the
government shall take away the
prizes that make men pursue low
IDEAL; we must all Of us as indivdu-
ais strive to live better lives and to
inculcate higher ideals in others"
Taft should give us better govern
ment of things as they are; Bryan,
leading us on to change things,
should make us a better people

WHITE HOUSE COURTESY.
The Way President Polk Threw Down
the Barriers.

If any president of modern times
were to exhibit the official indecency
that John Adams exhibited when JET
ferson became president he would be
denounced by every reputable newspa-
per and intelligent citizen of the land.
1t was then. as it is now. the accepted
duty of the retiring president to re-
ceive the incoming president at the
White House and accompany him to
the Inauguration ceremonies. but the
last official act of Adams as president
was the nomination Of a member Of
what were called midnight judges"
the night before the Inauguration Of
Jefferson. and during the night he
and his family withdrew from the
White House. leaving none but the
servants to receive the incoming presi-
dent, writes Alexander X. Mcclure in
the Circle.
1t was President Polk who first had
the courage to disregard the political
passions Of the times by inviting Hen
~ Clay, who had been his competitor.
to dine with him and Mrs. Polk in thu
White House. 1t was near the close
of the Polk administration. during
which Clay had been a senator most
of the time. and it shocked the Demo
cretic sentiment Of the time when it
was announced that Clay had dined
with President Polk. not on state &C.
casion. but had been welcomed at the
family dinner as a friend. Clay was
the soul of chivalry, and Polk was
man Of unblemished character and
high attainments. and his example Of
courtesy to Cl:. has never since been
broken.

AT THE THEATRE.
A Stock Company that is Giving to
Wenatchee Plays Never Before
EQualled at Popular Prices.

Wenatchee Plays Never Before
Equalled at Popular Prices.
When one has become personally
acquainted with Mr.. Geo. B. Howard,
head of the company which is now
presenting popular plays in such ex-
cellent style at the Wenatchee thea
tire. 1t is easy to understand why he
is favorite, not only with his own
company but also with the patrons of
the theatre.
His fellowship is of that spontan-
eous kind that instantly appeals, and
it is an explanation why audiences
applaud as soon as he makes his ap-
pearance on the stage. In attend
ing the theatre, one can see at a
glance by the smooth manner in
which the different characters of the
plays are presented that a master
hand directs all, that good perform
ers are in the cast, and that all work
together with that harmony which is
the result of long association.
Manager Ferguson is to be con-
graduated on securing this excel
lent company of performers. for,
without doubt, it is the cleverest ag-
gregation that has ever visited We
natchee.
Tonight and tomorrow night Mr..
Howard and his company will pre-
sent J. M. Barrie's greatest master
piece, The Little Minister"
This play is so well known to all
that any attempt at an outline or
synopsis of the story in these col
umns would be superfluOus. 1t is
best known as the greatest work of
that gifted writer, ]. NJ. Barrie. and
the triumph of that most successful
starring actress, Miss Maud Adams.
The scenery for this production is
the best that Mr.. Howard has ever
staged. Mr.. Howard and his entire
company of twelve people are seen
in this production.
Manager Ferguson wishes the peO-
pie of Wenatchee to know that the
Howard company is the best he has
ever had here, and his patrons should
not miss the opportunity of seeing
these excellent players. Perform
ance starts at O'Clock.
