THE CHANGE IN BRYAN.
Proof Not Forthcoming That Old Fall

In Mr.. Bryans eXtenuation IL is put
forward that he has changed They

desire to be placated move, represent
that the peerless one Ia not at all dan.
gerous this time because what made
him so he has forsworn. Once he was
for free coinage-to that he has said a
long farewell Once he rallied at the
courts-now his roaring is gentle.
like that OF a sucking dove Once he
was for government ownership-that
ne is trying as hard as possible to for.
get. Once he was an ardent free
trader-that, perchance, he may yet
dlsown and at any rate forbears to
emit sound that might alarm the
most timid manufacturer.
Let us freely admit that all which
Bryan once believed he now disavows.
How long is ii since infidelity 10 i'm

Justment of ones views to the exigen.
cles OF the hour became a sure pass
port to the trust and confidence of the
American people? Are we to under
stand from the evidence that Bryan is
so great and indispensable an execu-
tive that whether he has any views or
not becomes negligible matter?
If Mr.. Bryan should be elected it
might be found that these ideas he
has for the nonce concealed are really
only subordinated until such time as
ne can get into position to put them
into effect. And against such a con.

SERMONETTE.

In this story Of the personal
life Of tho prophet Hosea we
have a portrayal Of what 10 but
too common to-day-the disrupt
Ing OF tho home through the VIC
Iatlon Of tho sacred marriage
vows by one or both Of those
who have entered into the union
which none but God should have
made, and which nothing but
death should have severed.
1t 10 case whore vanity and
love Of pleasure were permit
ted to SO dominate the life az to
obscure everything else.
How much Of domestic un-
happiness and how many dis
rupted homes can be traced to
those causes? vanity-ssIf-Iove
and self-exaltation make one an
easy victim to the enticements
OF sin. Love of pleasure 10 that
door through which tho soul hav-
Ing passed, finds II but too easy
to cast off all restraint and ut
terly give up the life to the base
qualification Of the flesh.
There is no more beautiful or
sacred relationship in life than
that Of husband and wife, and
there 10 no more dark or heIlish
tragedy than that Of violated
marriage vows and disrupted
homes.
But the disrupted home was
better than sin condoned and
covered up. Love was Iong-suf-
fering, and we catch the yearn-
Ing and heart.throb Of the proph-
ct In tho second verse when
he cries to his children TO
plead with their mother that
she turn from her evil ways.
But she would not listen.
She must drink to tho full of
her sin and be brought low be-
fore he could lit her up. She
must be abandoned to her own
wIlifuI way. And that 10 lust
the way God deals with US. He
sees our hearts set upon the
evil course. He pleads with us
and besets our way with him
ORANGES, but when he sees we
VIII not listen nor heed his cry,
then IL 10 that he gives US up to
our own way. Hosea was neroI-
fui In his severity, and SO is God
as he permits the wIIIfuI heart
to drink to the bitter dregs the
cup Of sin.

END THIS ISLANDER
TIME TO PUT A STOP TO DEMO-
CRATIC FALSEHoOD.
Assertion That American Voters Have
Been Corrupted by Republican
Party Is an Insult and Should
Be Repudiated.

The Keynote" speech of Tenn
porary Chairman Bell at the Demo-
cratic national convention was charac-
teristically Bryanesque. 1t opened with
the customary denuncation of the Re
publican party as the nurse of 'spe-
cial privilege" and monopoly" and as
the author OF government by injunc-
ton"
Then Mr.. Bell proceeded to argue
for the substitution for the injunctions
OF the courts, issued in due process of
law and for the protection of life and
property, of the injunctions of the
Gomperses and Sheas and other per-
sonal usurpers of governmental power
Tor the destruction of property and
waging of wars which spare not even
life.
The ideas of Mr.. Bell. which are
necessarily the ideas of Mr. Bryan, of
constructive policy" for the Demo
cratic party seemed to be confined
chiefly to certain ends and leavings
from the congressional waste baskets
to those great reforms" for which
Hon. r. NJ. La Toilette of Wisconsin
stood sponsor in the Republican ma
uonal popular election
OF senators" physical valuation of
railroads, publicity of campaign con-
tributions" On this latter point Mr..
Bell said:
THE corrupt use of large sums in
political campaigns is largely respon-
sible for the subversion of the peoples

The assertion that they were beat

otherwise have supported them is fire.

cuse of egotism which the people have

Mr.. Bryan offered ii in 1896.
The grain of fact in this charge is
that sometimes in petty local CON
tests in communities where the moral
sense averages low or certain kind
of ignorance prevails. victory goes to
the side OF the longest purse. But
that such methods should win on any
large scale is physically impossible
Let us consider the facts:

Where did the money come from
with which were bought those mil
lions OF venal voters that defeated
candidates and candidates that fear
defeat are always seeing? Where are
the venal voters? Let the average
American ask himself He may sus-
pect that he knows one--possibly But
does he know one?
The question answers itself. And.

that the resentment of the decent mil
