THE BRYAN PARROT.
The Same Feathered Nuisance That
Screeched In 1896.


In 1908, as in 1900 and 1896 the DOM
inant voice in the Bryan campaign is
the voice of the parrot 1t is Just as
shrill, just as insistent and just as
meaningleses as it was twelve years
ago and is bound to become quite as
wearisome to the public.
In 1896 the sleek, green parrot of
Organism teetered to and fro upon his
comfortable swing and screeched
Free silver! Free silver!' That was
the only phrase the bird could utter,
and it's dismal iteration SO exasper,
ated the people that they grabbed the
noisy parrot from his perch and cast
him into the garbage heap.
But the plumed nuisance survived
and appeared in the campaign of 1900
with brand new scream. This time
it was "Imperialismt Imperialism"
To the unthnking that alarmist cutlery
was momentarily terrifying, suggest
ing thrones and tyrants bent on op-
pressing the people. But it never
scared the sane people themselves
even for moment. They knew it
was the same old parrot singing the
same old tune with merely a change
of words To every challenge to dis
cussion of real political issues the par
rot made but one reply-"Imperial-
ISM" and again the feathered pest
was torn from his perch and tossed
into the junk pile by the public whose
patience he had exhausted.
With his inability either to charm or
frighten, so rudely demonstrated In two
successive trials, an ordinary parrot
would have dedicated himself to a fu-
ture of silent meditation on the follies
Of talking too much. But the Bryan
parrot is an extraordinary parrot. not
an ordinary one, and the campaign Of
1908 finds him perched aloft again
with another screed wherewith to af.
fright the timid and amuse the thought.
fui. His cry this year-and it's accents
show that it has been rehearsed with
rare patience-is, Shall the people

an uprolling of his eyes that might
scare people if they could forget fol-

BRYAN COULD HARM,
Danger of Placing Nebraskan In
White House.
EVEN WITH SENATE OPPOSED.
Laws Would Be In His Hands-The
Treasury Would Be Under His
Thumb-National Banks Would Be
AZ HE Mercv ,-.., >. .-aa..-


Nobody with brains enough to get in
out of a blizzard can have patience
with the argument SO complacently put
forth by some of the Bryanites who
want to hurhbug others into believing
what they don't believe themselves
that Bryan can do no harm should he
be elected. The usual way of putting
it is that there will be a Republican
senate and probably a Republican
house and that Bryan's hands will be
tied even if his tongue continues to
wag-certainly poor reason for elect
ing president even were it true.
But it is not true. A grammar school
boy who has studied the constitution
of the United States knows that. Of
course Bryan as president in face Of
sane congress could not pass laws. But
the whole administration of national
laws, including their enforcement
which is at least as important as pass
ing them, would be in his hands. He
would have the treasury under his
thumb; the national banks would be
at the mercy of comptroller of the
currency appointed by him; the foreign
policy of the government would be di-
| rected by him, and ambassadors, min
listers and consuls would be named by
| him. The army and navy would be un-
der his command. Collectors, postmas-
! tiers and other officials Of the civil serv-
| ice would be nominated by him. While
he could not establish "a tariff for rev.
enue only" he could make things much
smoother and easier for the class that
come back from European trips loaded
with all sorts Of luxuries purchased
abroad to the detriment of American
labor
Then he could smash any bank that
might offend him by not going into his
compulsory guarantee scheme. just as
his campaign treasurer, Governor Has
| kell, smashed the International Bank
of Coalgate. Okla. to make a demon
| Btration of the guarantee law for the
Democratic Denver convention.
Oh, yes, Bryan could do harm-so
much harm that it might take the coun-
try many long years to recover from
the damage done by four years of
Bryan in the White House.
But Bryan will do no harm because
he will not have the opportunity. be-
cause the American people are going to
elect as their president William H.
Taft. the candidate of the Republican
rarty, the impartial judge. the con-
s,ructive statesman, the man of whom
Mckinley said. "He is the broadest
and most unsefishly brave man know
and will carry the constitution of the
United States in his very blood
Tafts election will be an assurance
that the voters of the United States are
determined to have in the White House
one whose presence there will be in
itself pledge of good government of
efficient and equitable administration
Of the laws, of intellectual and educa-
tional advancement and of progress
and prosperity in. the material affairs
Of the republic.

Eighteen Drowned.

St. Johns, N. F., Dec. 4-Wreck-
Cape Race, leaves little room for
doubt that the sturdy little steam
er, Sioux City," which for twenty
years piled as an excursion steamer
on the great lakes, went down with
her crew in a gale that dashed the
New Foundland coast for two days
this week. The steamer was in COM
mand of Capt. John Dillon, of Brook
Ign, formerly commander of the
United States transport Missouri.
The exact number of the crew is
in doubt but it is known, however,
that no less than eighteen men were
on board and it has been reported
that the crew was recently increased
to twenty-eight men.
The "Sioux City" hailed from
Michigan City on November st. and
reached Ogdensburg, N. Y, on Nov
ember 11th At that port she took
on coal and added four men to her
crew. She was last reported at
Quebec, on November 14th A week
later, when nothing had been heard
from her, much anxiety was felt and
on Wednesday last the vessel was
listed by the marentime exchange
among the missing.
The Sioux City" was recently
sold by the Indiana Transportation
Company to Felix Jackson, of Vel.
asco, Tex, and was being taken tc
New Orleans where she was to have
been placed in commission between
that city and Texas ports. The yes
sci carried no passengers.
