MUST RECKON WITH BRYAN.

HE movement Tor reorganizing the National
Il Democracy seems to have been dropped
for the time being. Just after the election lead
ing New York paper sounded SOME prominent
Democrats on what should be done to strengthen
the party Their opinions differed. Some thought
that the present leaders, especially those in New
York State, should be ov:rthrowp They did not
believe that the Democracy under the leadership
of Mr. Mack and Mr. "Fingy' Conners, could
succeed and win again the high place that It once
held New leaders and different methods should
prevail Others questioned. replied that many of
the Democratic national leaders were OF high
class And so it goes.
The organizing element is thus discouraged at
the start 1t has, therefore, decided to cease its
abors for awhile and to await developments.
That is about the only thing that can be done. In
fact Judging from the results of the election N
that State the New York Democrats arc in bad
shape They tried to win the radical voters with
Bryan as candidate They endeavored TO get
the rcactionary and conservative element by the
nomination of Lieutenant Governor Chanler to
succeed Governor Hughes. They were riding two
horses and they fell.
But this little stir about reorganization has
brought from Mr. Bryan a statement-a chilling
statement--that nc NAV be a candidate for presi-
dent four years from now-that is, il the party
wants him. Mr. Bryan has no notion OF abandon
ing politics. He purposes to remain as a leader
and TO be at the beck and call of his party.
While waiting for the four years to roll around,
Mr. Bryan says that he would accept an election
as senator at the hands of the Nebraska Legisla-
turc. The Democrats this year secured control
OF the Legislature in Mr.. Bryans own State.
That was the one crumb OF comfort he found in
the returns But unfortunately for Mr.. Bryan
this year there is no senatorial vacancy in Ne
braska to be filled Two years from now the
Democrats, without Bryan as a presidential can
didate may be unable to win the Nebraska Leg
islature because Nebraska is normally Repub-
lican State. SO then, the possibility is that Mr..
Bryan's hoDes of entering the Senate where he
would be an imposing and interesting figure, may
be shattered at the election two years hence.
Mr. Bryan will be one of the complications to
any reorganzing OF the Democratic party. He
still has a strong following among the Democrats,
and any plan TO change the party must take into
consideration the Nebraska leader.

TURN TO THE FUTURE.

TT is about time for those Republicans in Kent
a county. who, judging from the expressions in
their newspapers, are still disturbed over the re-
suit OF the election, to look to the future. There
may have been traitors to the party in Kent
county and elsewhere, if refusal to support the
nominees of a convention may brand a man as
a traitor" although in this day such names when
applied in politics TO boilers usually cause a smile
The loss Of Kent county to the Republicans was
a heavy blow, made all the harder to bear because
one man who had held conspicuous honors at the
hands OF the party was actively working against
the Republican candidates, and it is difficult to
believe that he was inspired by any high motives
for good government Personally he was after
revenge, but there were other Republicans in the
county who refused to support the ticket because
they were honestly dissatisfied with the nomina-
tions.
Then. again, while in the total vote the Repub-
leans of the county lost a trfc in their vote, the
Democrats gained considerably, as compared with
the figures OF two years ago. The additional reg
istration helped the Democrats.
However, the Republicans OF Kent should
proht by the experience OF the last election just as
we know thc Republicans of this county will
profit. The Republicans OF the State, regardless
oi county lines, have been taught the lesson that
good nominations must be made FOR the different
offices II the party is to succeed. Sufficient
voters OF this State have shown they will not
hesitate to scratch names from the ticket, pro-
vided those names are not suitable TO the stand
ards set by these voters. They must be reckoned
with
Everything considered, the Republicans Of the
State had much 10 contend against at the recent
election. The Democrats had been out OF power
for so long that their record when in control was
lost TO the memory of many voters. The Demo
Gratis were especially desirous of eecting their
candidate for governor, because they wanted the
appointments OF the judiciary. Again the faction
OF the Democrats that has bden allied with the
corporation influences of the State was again in
the saddle and those influences were hoping for
Democratic success. On the whole the Democrats
had nominated fairly good ticket. The Prohbi-
ton question also cut something of figure in the
election So, in fact, the Republicans had no easy
task and under the circumstances their victory
was as large as reasonably could be expected.
We Judge, however, from some expressions
nominations seems disposed to corral the COVER
nor-elect and TO resent any suggestions that NAV
be made to him outside of their own clique And
that the Kent element responsible for certain
Just as certain as the governor-elect heeds their
advice, which we do not fancy he will heed. just
that certain will the dissatisfaction among large
element Of the Republican party in this State in
crease.

peratng when the sleeper breaks out into a
Snorc
The statement that "stuffiness OF the churches
causes sleep, is disposed of by the French writer
who says that il this theory were correct worship
pers would fall into slumber soon after the ser
vices began. The French writer holds TO the
opinion that the nodding heads are due to the
members OF the congregation concentrating their
gaze for a long time a single object, either the
countenance of the minister, or the pulpit, and
thus unconsciously hvnnotizing himself or her
self. The nodder is trying conscientiousy to fol
low closely the words of the minister and this
very effort results in the hypnotism that leads to
drowsiness. Therefore, it is owing TO the great
power of the minister that drowsiness ensues, and
not because of the nattenton of the auditor to
the speaker The Frenchman argues, Therefore
that several dozers in the congregation area high
tribute to the power of the preacher
The French writer supports his contention by
saying that sometimes the face of the church
dozer appears like that of one in trance. The
eyes are directed straight to the clergyman in the
pulpit and the facial expression is that of strained
attention
The only cure prescribed by the Frenchman is
inattenton. The eyes of those in church, he
thinks, should frequently wander about the edi-
fee The mind sometimes should think of other
things than the minister and this relief from the
strain would prevent drowsiness. But we imag-
inc that most ministers would prefer to confront
congregations in which there were few dozers
than TO bear with those in which there was gem
eral restlessness and eye wandering

church attendants, as they are often noticed at
other places.
