Bryan for Real Reform -

William Jennings. Bryan formally
opened the Democratic national cam.
,paign Monday evening arkansas City
Although several weeks must
elapse before the Democrats in con.
vention name their standard bearer
and Bryan has said that he would not
seek the nomination, but would leave
the decision to the party, he has
abandoned subterfuge Today he is
an active, aggressive candidate and re-
CARDS it as an impertinence for any
Democrat to be a candidate against
him.
In his Kansas City speech Mr.. Bry
an declares that the party will win il
1t stands for real reform and con-
v1nces the people that it is honest in
its purpose. He has altered his opin
Ion in respect to the Roosevelt admin
istration. Only a few weeks ago he
was praising it for much that it had
done and criticising it only because
the President had not gone far enough
in stealing Democratic thunder. Now
he indicts the administration because
it has done nothing. It has stirred ur
great dust, over trusts, but has not
sent single trust magnate to Jail
We may assume, then, that by prom
Using to break up every combination
of capital and landing the captains oil
industry in prison Mr.. Bryan hopes tc
assemble the real reformers in the
country under the Democratic banner
If Mr. Bryan makes greater head
way than he made when he was fight
ing for free silver and against i'm
perialism, it is because he has become
more adept in the art of deception
He is no more sincere today than he
was in 1896 or 1900 Having no real
issue he will set up a boyle and en-
deavor to confuse the people with the
noise he makes. He will fume and
sputter at the corporations, gnash his
teeth over the wrongs of the down
trodden, and array capital in the hab
iliments of Old Nick, with promises OF
rescue If the oppressed will give him
their votes. 1t is peculiar charac
teristic of American life that a man
honest in all other respects has nc
computations about being dishonest
in politics:-Toledo Blade.

TO INCREASE ARMY.
Roosevelt VIII Recommend an Add
ton Of 10000 Men.

Washington.-Pre Roosevelt,
In his final annual message to con-
gress, probably will recommend an
increase in the numerical stength OF
the army to at least 100000 men. At
present the army is on a footing of
10000 men, the number provided for
in time OF peace.
To the general stan " has become
evident in the last two years that
10000 men are too few properly to
garrison the posts at which II Is nee
essary to maintain an army force.
The posts include the garrisons
in the insular possessions of America
The law provides that the army may
be increased to 100000 men in time
of need This provision, in the opin
ion Of military experts, is likely to
prove a serious handicap to the army
II absolute necessity should arise for
n larger force.
In the remote event of n war be-
tween America and Japan. and some
other power which Japan is on friend.
ly terms, II would be impossible for
the comparatively small force Of Unit.
ed States troops now In the Hawaiian
island to prevent landing of arms and
ammunition to supply the Japanese in
the islands. 1t is expected that the
president will recommend in his mes
sage an increase in the army by the
addition Of at least ten regiments OF
infantry, five regiments of cavalry
and several companies of coast ar.
tillery.

II was from the injunction that he

Many others were carried down ex.

stairway, was quickly burned away.
Several heroic rescues were observed
