CURRENT POLITICAL COMMENT.
s~Outherners R%eJoicing over the RE-
pubiicau Victory.

publican Victory.
Charleston News and Courier (dem.l,
While VIC suppose that the majority OF
the voters Of South Carolina sincerely
wished that Mr.. Bryan be elected when
they voted for him. conversation with the
average business man, banker, merchant
or manufacturer in interior South Caro-
lima, discloses a feeling Of relief and graft
fication on his part that the administra-
ton Of the government Is TO be in the
hands of Judge Taft for four years. 'If
Mr.. Bryan had been elected we should not
have been free of the depression in busi-
ness for another year at least" is the ex-
preston of one of the most successful
bankers in interior South Carolina who
was never identified with the Cleveland
wing Of tho democracy, and one hears
similar remarks everywhere In the state.
The business men, of course. are not
the majority of the voters. they do not
elect the presidents and governors In South
Carolina, and we are not here saying that
their views OF public questions are infal-
lible. but we are persuaded that IS per
cent OF the leaders in commercial and
manufacturing pursuits in South Carolina
regard the election of Mr.. Taft with posi-
tive satisfaction, although they voted
against him.
We hold to the opinion that in the long
run democratic government would prove
more beneficial to the country than would
government by the republicans; but that
does not alter the fact that in the south
the men most influential and active In
directing the channels of business and in
dustry are rejoicing in their hearts that
the shadow Of Bryanism'' has been re-
moved for four years. During a three
days trip in the state not one expression
Of regret that the democratic national
ticket was defeated was heard by a rep
resentative of the News and Courier, who
%conversed with gentlemen who live in a
dozen different South Carolina cities and
towns. II such be the feeling in a state
where fifteen years ago the election of a
republican to be president was looked upon
as a peculiar menace to the southern peo-
pie, there is slight ground for wonder that
Mr.. Bryan failed signally to make gains
in the north,

Mr.. Bryan has sacrificed nothing and he
has cost the democratic party much. He
has thrust himself to the front onN every
lessly. Has he proved any special devotion
to the democratic party? Did he demon
strate his allegiance to the democratic party
when he went with the populists? Did he
work for his successful rival as he has
worked for himself One answer to that
question is found in his own state of Ne
braska. He boasts now tina this year he
has carried 1t for himself. He was in full
strength and vlgor four years ago and his
state went against Judge Parker, the demo-
cratic~homlnee, by more than $1,000. Has ne
accepted the blame for any Of these defeats
to which he has led his party? Has he not
shifted issues half a dozen times in the
last twelve years, seeking on each occa-
sion one which he thought would be strong
and popular? Has he not profitsd personally
and largely by his leadership of the party,
using the Advertisement his position gave
him to push his newspaper and his own
money-making career as a lecturer? Can
we imagine General Lee after Appomattox
establishing a little newspaper and urging
all southern sympathizers to subscribe to
1t as a test Of their party loyalty7 Can we
imagine General Lee going about delivering
lectures at 800 and $500 a night, using the
sympathy OF his people as a means to ex-
tract from their pockets dollars for his own
enrichment? Can we imagine General Lee
accepting Mr.. Benefits legacy of 5 1900 and
fighting the dead mans widow for the
money to the highest courts?

Shall h Democratic Party Diet

New York World (dem.).
There are no elements of surprise in Mr..
Bryan's San Antonio interview.
OF course he will take the nomination for
president again IL he can get II. What is
a fourth defeat to a man who has already
been thrice defeated. but who has so sue
cessfully capitalized the prestige Of his
leadership that 1t yields him an income of
$4,000 or 100000 a year in profits from his
newspaper, his writings and his lectures?
Deprive Mr.. Bryan Of his perpetual candl-
dacy for president and he might say with
Shylock:
You take my life
When you do take the means whereby l Hve.
Much as we may deplore Mr.. Bryan's
se%lfishness and his cold-blooded disregard
of the interests Of his party, the fact re-
mains that IL he is again the democratic
candidate for president the responsibility
will rest wholly upon the democratic poll
ticians and more particularly upon the
democratic leaders in the south.
Mr.. Roosevelt is Boosting that IF / had
been a candidate for president this time /
would have carried Georgia and broken
the solid south" AS against Mr.. Bryan he
undoubtedly would. With Mr.. Bryan again
the democratic candidate 1t is likely that
any man the republicans nominate can
carry Georgia and break the solid south.
With the democracy all but exterminated
as a NATIONAL organization in the north,
what would be left OF the party with the
solid south broken?
There is only one answer to Mr.. Bryan's
complacent announcement that III the
democratic party and the contingencies de-
mand it 1 woul again be a candidate
That answer is embodied in the Worlds
question, Shall the democratic party die?'
Omaha daily bee., 1908-11-23

We have no objection to any amount OF
admiration for Mr.. Bryan his friends may
choose to feel. We have no desire to belittle
him or to injure his sensibilities or those
OF his friends. We cannot forget, however,
that after having led a great party to a
third defeat he has not come forward and
said that he will stand aside and will not
allow his name to be considered in connec-
ton with the presidency, but is ready to
fight in the ranks Of the party for any
leader 1t may choose. We cannot overlook
the fact that apparently an attempt has
begun already to arouse for him popular
sympathy and enthusiasm. We cannot per-
nit to pass without a protest a comparison
which strikes us painfully as a proclamation
and almost a sacrilege.

NANaN W ~
Richmond (va) News-Lesder Cdem.).
with some dismay and shock we observe
esteemed contemporaries in their Bryan en-
thusiasm not content with comparing Mr..
Bryan with I~gnatius Loyola, comparing his
character, qualities and career with those
Of General r. e. Lee. This seems to us
to be going too far.
We have no desire to assail Mr.. Bryan
vindictively in his time of overthrow. we
are forced to understand, however, that II
his admirers and followers without con-
tradiction are allowed TO portray him be-
fore the people as a hero, saint and martyr
and the equal OF a man like Lee they may
arouse in his behalf another frenzy which
four years hence may force him again on
the democratic party as its candidate and
involve that party in another disaster.
Furthermore, young and untht. king people
may be impressed with the idea that Mr.,
Bryan really is something like General
Lee and therefore a man to be followed
and worshipped regardless of consequences.
1t would be we'll IL som OF these. fervid
contemporaries and persons to whom We

his resembling those OF General Lee. The
two men are alike in cleanliness OF per-
sonal life and habit. In that respect a
hundred thousand American citizens of to-
day may compare with either or both Of
them. General Lee put aside the sceptTe.
He forsook the strong cause for the weak
one. He presented his sword, his life and
his fortune to his native state for her serv-
ice. He refused the OF the armies
OF a powerful and rich government and &C
cepted q subordinate place under a poor
and struggling government. He was a
magnificent and successful st~rateEist in
war, IN humble and quiet citizen in peace.
He took upon himself the blame for every
disaster and failure. He sought not his
own. He refused to use the glory and
fame he had won as commander-fn-chief
of the confederaoy for his own profit and
retired into private life to earn a scanty
living as a teacher. Self-sacrifice, unself-
ishness, humility marked all the course OF
his life.
