that this cannot be accomplished bv judicial

The message of the Rev DR.. AKED to

ducting a series of revival meetings in
the middle West that have aroused a
spirit most hopeful and encouraging for
Christians Of all denominations. Mr..
SUNDAYS appeals have awakened in men
and women Of all classes, of all degrees
of education and of all grades of intel
lect a devotion to CHRIST and the sect
Of their choice that has amazed and re-
ioiced those who sympathize with the
cause which he represents
Yet Mr. SUNDAY has no great endOw-
ment, no rich bank account. His con-
verts joyfully defray the expenses of his
revival meetings. His success is due to
his apparent sincerity, to his ability to
stir up in his auditors a realization of
their responsibility to GoD and to bring
them Contrite and humble to the mourn
ers' bench. Hereaches their conscienoes,
their hearts, their minds, His work is
done without elaborate machinery, with

have sung the song Of the ineyitableness
Of BRYAN. Secretary TAFT himself in his
aroiable manner has frequently taken up
the refrain and announced that BRYAN is
to be the Democratic Presidential candi-

The Senate of the United States in
dealing with Mr.. BURKETT's resolution
providing that Sunday, May 10, iSOS be
recognized rs Mothers Day, and that IL
be observed as such by the members and
officers and employees Of the United
States Senate wearing white flower in
honor Of their mothers, discharged an
unwslcome duty with more deliClcy and
good sense than Mr., BURRETT displayed
when he imposed the duty upon the
Senate.
II was natural that Senators old enough

by wearing white flower on certain
day that they respected their mothers or
the memories OF their mothers We can
understand that Mr.. BURKETT was bewil-
dered at the reluctance Of his associates
to vote upon such a resolution or to
discuss il, and how panied he must have
been when Senator FULTON treated II with
levity:
IL We ore going to take up this line Of lsglsla
tive action think we should not stop BY drawing
the distinctions. think we should have fathers

father, and think we should have a Erandfathers'

reason Why We should make these invdlous dis
tInCtlons. AZ least Mr. President, | think the
matter should be taken under consideration and a
committee should determine II, Everybody would
agree that We should have mother ln-lsw day. 20
Heroic treatment perhaps, but Mr..
BURKETT's notions of the province Of the
Senate are crude and the sentimentality
he showered on unflial stoics like Mr..
TELLER and DR.. GALLINGER was in very
poor taste. 1t seemed 10 be a case for
rough and ready sarcasm, since Mr..
BURKRTT was insensible to humble re-
monstrances and to simple avOwals Of
parental affection wrung from scandal

say the resolution was puerile, but lightly
his adjective glanced from the Burkett
epidermis. Mr. KEAN's motion to substi-
tute the Fifth Commandment seems to
have been completely lost on the junior
Senator from Nebraska, and the reason
is obvious.
BY reference TO the judiciary Commit
tee the juvenile resolution was happily
disposed Of without putting any Senator
on record against his maternal parent.
Il ought to take but little time Of the
Senate; ] realize am a new member,

the Democracy, the Taft organs and the

certainty OF BRYAN's nomination. They
know an easy mark when they see it,
As late as Sunday the New York Trib-
uRe takes up the game again Under
the head BRYAN in Pennsylvania the
Tribune remarks in the way Of aid and
comfort to the Bryanites:
Pennsylvania Is the keystone Of the opposlIlon
within the Democratic party to Mr BHIANs rrnom
lnauon for the Presidency. The most Nangulns
anu bryan manager would hardly be rash enough
To maintain that Eastern hostility to Mr. BRIASs
candidacy would be- suficsntly formidable 10 give
the national convention pause II II appeared That
IN the second largest Eastern state Mr.. BRYAN had
actually captured = majority Of the delegation.
Dispatches from sources hostile TO Mr BRYAN have
Tlven the Impression that only handful VI dele
gates tayorng his nomination we're elected at Tue
Pennsylvania Congress district primaries on Aprll
II. but this impression seems to have been en-
tlrely misleading The Philadelphia Record, one Of
the strongest anti Bryan newspapers In the United
States, has taken the pains to canvass the sixty
three delegates so far elected two candidates being
tied for second place In one Of the thrty.tWo dis
trcO and It reports that on the face Of the returns
Mr. BRYAN has clear majority In his favor"
Also:
We are not surprised that the Record, though
entirely dlsapprovIng Mr, BEIAN's candidacy
equally dlsapproves the Goebel methods now being
employed to manufacture an anti Bryan delegation
In Pennsylvania. The fac, Is that the leaders OF
the Bryan movement IN that state have almost a
monopoly Of the brains and character left In We
Democratic Organization. EITreasurer BERRY
the head Of the Bryan League, Is the one Democrat
since PArrIsoNs day who has done the state real
service. and he has the respect Of the people Of
Pennsylvania without regard to party. Associated
with hlu are other Democrats who want to lift the
organization from It's present depth OF degradation
