Bryan the EXteTminatOr,

William Jennings Bryan went into
business as an exterminator in 1906
and has stuck to it ever since. He
got after the "gold bugs" that yeal
and announced that he would ex.
terminate the whole pesky species
by copious applications of his cele
brated free silver powder. He an
nounced his program in a speech in
Albany, N. Y, August IS 1896, ir
The following terms:
The Democratic party has begun
war of determination against the
gold standard. We ask no quarter,
We give no quarter. We shall prose
cute our warfare until there is not
an American citizen who dares to
advocate the gold standard.
The "war of extermination"
which followed that heroic at.
terance was the most gorgeous free
amusement entertainment ever or.
ganized In America. In every
town where the show appeared Mr..
Bryan rode in the street parade and
took part in two performances in
the big tent every day. He exter-
minated several millions of "gold
bugs" at each performance and
speedily drove every other circus
out of business. The show drew
enormous crowds everywhere. The
funny clowns delighted the child
rem, the tight-rope acts of the daring
artists especially engaged" as
lonished all beholders and the owner
of the show himself performed
various antics on his famous trick
mule "Democracy," which alone
was considered well worth the price
of admission.
The show ended its season in
November after a severe frost, but
with money in bank and hope still
strong in Its owners heart. Then,
after the big red band wagon, the
gaudy trappings and the rest of the
outfit had been carefully stored
away in winter quarters, some in.
quiSitive person away back East i'm
pertirently inquired: "but, after all,
what did the Great exterminator
exterminate?" To which the ring
master replied:
"Why, the Democratic party of
course"

Bryan's 0test Mares
Nest.

Mr.. Bryan has made another
discovery. The country has motto
ed for some time that there was a
general revival of prosperity, a
return to the normal conditions
prevailing before the recent hnan-
cial depression. Factories are re-
opening, railroads are putting men
back on the payrolls by the thou
sands, the long lines of "empties"
have thinned out until there is al
ready talk of car shortage, the
banks are breaking records, the
clearing house reports are showing
unprecedented prosperity notwith-
standing the usual depressing uncer'
tainty of presidential campaign.
All this has been generally recog-
nized, though the calamity howlers
have tried to discount it by showing
that switchman down at Podu'k
has lost his job and that there are
various unemployed people here and
there in the United States. For all
this there must be reason, and
Mr.. Bryan has discovered it. The
prosperity is simply fictitious. The
mills and factories and shops are
being opened by the "tarift-fed"
owners only as bluff, to delude
peo Die iato the belief that prosperity
is here. As soon as tae election is
over, the mills and shops and fact
ories will close down again.
This declaration of The Democ-
ratio candidate for the highest Office
in the gift of the people was not
made in jest, but in all seriousness,
in a speech at Lincoln the other
day. 1t ought to stamp Mr.. Bryan
more plainly than ever as a man
unfit for the office to which he as
pires. Any maa who has no more
judgment tt an to believe that the
mill owners and manufacturers and
railroads would spend millions Of
dollars in producing articles for
which there is no demand and
employing men who are not needed,
simply as campaign bluff, he's not
brains enough to be president.
Any man who would deliberately
make the statement without believ
ing It has not sufficient political or
any other kind of honesty to bel
president. Any man who grasPs
eagerly at adversely and industrial
distress as means to the attainment
of personal ambitions has not suf-|
fcient patriotism to be president.
If Mr.. Bryan would only investi-
gate the real reasons for this pros
perity he would find that it is largely
because the business iatrests of the
country are convinced that he can
not be elected and manufacturers
feel safe in making preparations for
demands which are sure to multiply
as soon as confidence has been
made a certainty and Mr. Bryan
and his doctrines have been deh-
nitely and finally shelved.-Kansas
City Journal.

Mr.. Taft as an Educator
I'm the Philippines.

Ii has been the educational feature
, OF Mr.. TafPs program In the Philip
pines that occasioned the most com.
ment from British and other recog
nlzed authorities on colon zation
and from foreign writers on the
subject. The English, grantedly
successful colonizers from the stand
point of English Interests, eschew
education for their charges. They
design to keep the masses of the
natives in their foreign possessions
ignorant and contented, They argue
that so long as native knows moth
ing of books, law, civil government,
he is likely to develop no trend
toward serious thought, and that
when t.ey begin to think 1t spells
trouble for their overlords. Mr..
Mckinley took no stock in this
theory. Neither did Mr.. Taft.
There are details of colonial ad-
ministration as practised by the
English that are admirable and
which have been incorporated into
our system in the Philippines, with
suitable notifications and American
improvements added. But govern
mental mistrust of education is not
one of them.
Appreciation of civil rights, with
correlated duties and responsibilities,
comes with education. The Filiplnos
had firm, still vague, conviction
that they were not justly treated by
the Spaniards. But it was vague
only in their inability to determine
where lay the discrepancy between
what were their inherent rights and
what they were permitted by the
Spaniards.
The rush of children and adults
to the primary schools provided the
teachers with more work than they
could do, and the school houses
primitive structures of bamboo
rooted with nipa--with more occu-
pants than they could hold. AS fast
as a pupil was grounded in the
simpler branches, and was old
enough, he or she was set at teach
ing younger children. English was
the language chosen for the schools.
This brought down on Mr.. Taft's
head the wrath of the "anti-imperi-
alists." He was criticized for seek
ing to deprive the Filipino of his
native language. The fact was that
only per cent of the people spoke
Spanish. the rest using one of sixteen
dialects. 1t was easier and more
reasonable to bring English into the
schools than to try to differentiate
between sixteen "natlve languages"
Blu. above all, as Mr.. Taft says:
cit was selected because 1t is the
language of business in the Orient,
because it is the language of free
institutions, and because it is the
language which the Filipino children
who do not know Spanish are able
more easily to learn than they are
to learn Spanish, and it is the
language of the present sovereign of
the island"
Nothing has been prosecuted by
Mr.. Taft so Industriously and ex.
tensively as education in the Philip.
pines. Now there are nearly 500.
900 pupils enrolled, and the school
system of the islands is admirable,
save that the financial disa abilities Of
the government prevent money be
ing appropriated to the amounts
required to meet the demand for
education among the awakened peo.
pie. English is spoken everywhere.

The Democratic campaign man
ayers are only working incidentally
in behalf of their candidate for
governor. They are interested
chiefly in Bryan and Farrelly, can,
dldate for senator. They are max
ing a hard effort to capture the
legislature. They have picked out
90 districts in which they believe
they have a show and are centering
their fight in them, 1t only takes
SO votes to control the legislature
on joint ballot. This being the
situation Chairman Dolley is urging
the local workers to put forth their
best endeavors to elect the Republi-
can candidates for the Legislature.
