back-tracked a little on the railroad
question-that is to say. he explaineu
that his views on that subject, as ex-
pressed at Madison Square Garden,
were academic and tentative; ana
were not intended to be of practlcai
po1itiref use. Nevertheless it was con-
sidered that Mr.. Bryan had made
serious mistake; and the best was maze
of it to accomplish his defeat.
But with all that, and with reacuon-
airy forces doing their best to dlscreait
the Bryan leadership, the eminent Ne
braskan keeps on the even tenor OIL
his way, making addresses here ana
there; holding political council at this
point. that or the other; saying little
that is directly antagonistic TO those
who assail him. and who regard his
possible or probable success with such
bitterness. All sorts of combinations are
sought in the hope that at least MI.
Bryan might not have the requisite
two thirds vote at Denver; every man
available as candidate and many VINO
are not available, came in for mention
and for more or less reactiOnary boost
ing. Mr. Bryan's former unsuccessful
campaigns have been thrust forward
as the most telling anti-Bryan capital;
and there has been much in the nature
of stout Boosting that when the time
came to nominate democratic stand
ard bearer, it would be found that Mr..
Bryan and his friends would not be
the whole show But Mr.. Bryan is the
whole show; and his friends comprise
a overwhelming majority of those iii
the convention, plus the democracy
which those delegates represent. There
is the fact, whatever we may think of
Mr.. Bryan or however we may agree
or disagree with him upon matters OF
political import.
And the fact is wonderful one. 1t
rests entirely upon the personality of
one mana most phenomenal man.
This aspect of the Bryan character and
personality does not carry with 1t
either Endorsement or condemnation of
his political views. 1t is fact in psy-
chology rather than politics. Here is a
private citizen, sprung directly from
the ranks of the people; brought into
the limelight by happy rhetorical
turn, apt to the situation in which it
was used; developing, and holding po-
litical leadership, first, as an idol, and
later in the face of most bitter Oppo-
sition; leading his party twice to de-
feat and never to victory; yet, he be-
comes the most famous private citizen
in all the world honored by the great
of all nations, as representing the high
est type of American. Where, but a
few years ago, nearly every leader in
his party disclaimed him, now, with
out the power of patronage to control,
without outward manifestation of Wig
orous fighting, by sheer force of his
personality, Mr.. Bryan calmly brushes
aside all opposition, and is about to
receive the nomination of his party
not as a grudging gift, but as an hon
or which the party is almost unani
mously willing to confer. 1t is a situa
ton that has few, if any, parallels in
all political history.

Mantell has been recognized by the
greatest critics in this country, as well
as by theater goers, as pre- eminently

Recently Chauncey II. Depew raised

and 1.-THE grandeur that wat Rome"
were for the few, not the many. 1t Is
the same case even though the masses
could not arise to the glory and the
grandeur. The true end Of civilization
is to lift the masses up to the fullest
realization and use of their powers.
rights and duties.
No one should harbor the notion that
a great age is invariably followed by
a degenerate one and that for the next
fifty years life will not be worth while
in comparison with the period from
1858 to 1908. Mans genius has just
opened up vast possibilities for the
race which can be realized. Natures
forces have been conquered and har-
messed, but there remains to be accom
plished the distribution Of the bene-
fits. History. we are often told, is a
record of a few great men and women.
History that shall depict the masses
as we'll as the masters. or ever with
the masters eliminated, is yet to be
written. The making Of material for
such a history is work that beckons
the heroic minded to action for the
next fifty years.

A Greater scourge Than War.

A Greater Scourge Than War.
In that part of the United States
where reliable death records are kept
consumption destroyed 76,650 lives in
the year 1907. a greater mortality list
than can be ascribed to the deadliest
year of the civil war. Evidently the
campaign against tuberculosis which
the international congress at Washing
ton indicates Is being ceaselessly pros
ecuted the world over Is second to
none of the great movements Of the
day for the welfare of humanity in
vital Importance. The death toll
which the habitable globe pays an
nually to the white plague cannot be
set down in figures. But it is conser-
vative to say that the elimination OF
this scourge will save the lives of
thousands where the abolition OF war
would save only scores.
Fortunately the message which the
scientists of the world came to Wash
ington to deliver is cheering and even
jubilant. "No. more tuberculosis after
$780, is the forecast of the Germans,
who lead other nations in their conf
dence of ultimate victory. 1t Is indeed
deplorable that millions of victims
must perish before the final triumph
is scored in this war upon a foe more
deadly to humanity than war itself.
But the secrets Of the disease have
been delivered up to science. Weapons
for its overthrow are at hand. and the
issue now waits only upon the educa-
ton of the masses In every land and
the patient cooperation day by day Of
laymen with the cohorts of science.
