Campaioning Without Parallel.

The Illinois church choirs in white
singing before the saloon doors, the
professions of Sunday-school chill
dren, the solicitation OF votes by
women and their use of their car
riages to convey voters TO the polls,
the ringing of church bells, the pray
ers, the doXology sung on street cor
ners-this is campaigning Of a kind
which has had no parallel since abo-
lition times.

UR. BRYAN AND THE EAGLE"

SAYS THE Brooklyn Eagle commenting on
The Tribunes suggestion that our contem-
porarv across the bridge would probably bolt
the Democratic ticket as soon as the Denver
convention was over:
The Tribune should have closely read
the Eagle than to suggest that We are waiting
to see on what platform Mr.. Bryan, II nomi-
For Mr. Bryan platform whatever will
the Eagle be
For Mr.. Bryan under no circumstances what
ever will the Eagle be
For no platform and for no candidate what
ever of Mr. Bryan's making prescription will
the Eagle be.
The Eagle neither waited for Chicago to say
the foregoing is il waiting for Denver to
qualify the foregoing.
IL is but reiterated here and now to enable
The Tribune to be under no doubt whatever on
the subject.
The Eagle is historically and logically Demo-
list.
The Eagle has apparently read into our
| comment something which it did not contain.
| We said nothing about its attitude being de-
| termined by the platform to be adopted at
| Denver. We merely suggested that there was
a bare possibility that Mr.. Bryan might not
| be nominated. He might die before the con
vention meets. For the rest have never
doubted that The Eagle" would oppose Mr..
| Bryan on any platform and would make that
fact clear enough when the psychological mo-
| ment came TO publish the announcement.

THE SANE OLD STORY.

The Fourth of July of last year seems to be
much more than scant year away. we shouio
say it antedated the longest memory of living
men, For surely on no other ground which
would be creditabe or reasonable could we
easily explain the present obiiviousness to the
horrors of that day and to the passionate reso-
utions which were then made that there should
be no more such orgies of racket, arson, man.
Cling and death Last Fourth of July was in
deed less abominably abused than many of its
predecessors. Yet it was so bad as to arouse
widespread and intense indignation-as wide
spread and as intense as that which will be
felt a fortnight hence at this years repetition.
For repetition of it there evidently Is to be,
at least in this community, despite all the re-
morseful resolutions of a year ago. The thing
has indeed begun The crackle of firecrackers
and the vicious swapping of toy pistols are
familiar sounds in many parts of the city by
night and day. Already, too, there have been
reports of casualties, some of them fatal 1t
is the same old story of yielding to the I'M
worthy fear that if we did not for a time
grant free license to make life hideous we
should be chargeable with lack of patriotism
that if we objected to having sick people tort
ured and we'll people made i'll we should he
looked upon rs "killjoys," and that If we
professed dislike to seeing children die or
tetanus we should have mo red blood in our
veins"
1t is an amazing spectacle, which might al
most be deemed to disprove our national pos
session of a sufficient degree of reason to qual-
ify us to learn wisdom from experience When
a building collapses. steamboat sinks, or
a theatre is burned, and some lives are lost,
we do something practical TO prevent, at least
for time a repetition of the disaster. But
when worse disaster comes through our cele-
braton of the Fourth of July. we make little
fuss about it for time, and then do nothing.

TIE FOREEGN VIEW.

The choice of an American President is
Americas own business. Nevertheless that
decent respect 10 the opinions of mankind"
with which I'D years ago we began our ma
tonal career. IL not the bard's desire to see
oursels as ithers see u.s. invites some passing
and not unthOughtful attention TO the views
which the well informed men Of other lands
take of our choice of, n chief of state II is
wont in America 10 he so free with COM
rents. laudatory or derogatory on the affairs
of foreign countries that il would III become
us TO be oversensitiye or resentful at the com
ments made by others upon us and ours even
though they were less favorable than we might
wiAh.
Ia the present case. however, there is no
proyHcaton TO irritation, reasonable or unrea-
scn1bie The consensus of foreign opinion
of oUr next President is favorable as the
most sensitive American could wish. And this
is Tie more gratifying because Mr.. Taft is
PERHAPS better known TO other lands and has
come into direct touch with them and their
affairs more than any preceding President or
Presidential candidate. So much is suggested
hy ihc one unfarorabe comment upon his nom
inatiOD which we have seen. that of la Petite
keIublique" of Paris, which regards il as "A
deplofable surrender OF this country 10 the
spirit 0f Imperialism. No such thing is of
course. involved in Mr.. Taft's nomination. Yet
IL is qaite true that he has been above all other
mph oonspicuousIy and authoritativeIy asso-
ciated with those far-reaching interests of
America which the i'll informed or preiudiced
have called Imperialism. That in SO doing he
has 50 completely commanded the confidence
and respect Of aliens and alien lands with
which he or America through him has come
into contact is an impressive tribute to the
quality Of his statesmanshp.
