Old Men Of the Sea.

Illinois is now illustrating the sub
stantial truth that no party has a mo-
noPoly of self-seekers. The plight of
the Democracy is, Of course. the more
conspicuous. The only way TO rid itself
of its Old Man Of the Sea Is TO be
drowned with him three times. But
there are others.
Witness Mr.. Richard Yates. He was
elected governor Of the Empire State of
the Middle West as a Sunday school
candidate. He was too good to be true.
Every wing Of good government innu-
ence was behind him, and when he was
tnaugurated every prohibitionist, anti
corruptionist, independent, and civil
service man in the State reioiced. 1t
took a short term to prick the bubble.
In a Commonwealth which has not beep
30 much disturbed by John R. Tanner
Pnd a dozen worse governors, Yates
took the cake as self seeker.
The State sat on him-hard. Tn spite
OF almost reckless Use of offices and
patronage he could not be renominated.
The best he could do was to strike a
bargain with young district attorney
III Chicago-Charles s. Deneen-whereby
the Yates strength for the nomination
was TO 90 to Deneen, and the latter. if
he chose, could support Yates for the
United States Senate. Deneen was
nominated after a convention which
holds the endurance record in those
parts. His election gave Illinois the
most successful administration of fifty
years-increased appropriations. lower
tax levies, Improvement all along the
line, economy, merit system, general
satisfaction for everybody but the ma
chine politicians and Yates.
So Yates announced himself a candi-
date for denomination. Up, and down
he went, from Galena TO Cairo. splitting
out charges, sowing seeds of dissension.
appealing to prejudice, in a way that
makes even Mr.. Bryan's record Of oppo-
sition to Grover Cleveland look mild
Between him and Billy" Mason, stand
ing as an out-and cut candidate of or
gained labor (the latter poiled, Incl
dentally, ever 10000 votes), they man
aged to cut down Deneen's support to
a little less than 1000 plurality over
Yates And now the result in the
State is in doubt, though Illinois is be
lieved TO be reasonably safe for Taft as
against Bryan.
1t is not a pretty picture--this deg

A Plea for a Lady.

Lady Cooke, late of London, whence
she has returned with a great fortune
acquired by the skiHfuI process of sur.
viving an English husband, who for.
merly had the money, has made an un-
successful attempt to register for the
coming election former attempt was
made by her nearly forty years ago
and again she can't vote.
When Lady Cooke was Tennessee
Clafin, or Tennie c. CIafin, she and
her sister created somewhat of a furore
in New York by efforts TO reform that
tOwn-their way. In those days not
to have known of her would have been
to argue oneself unknown.
But as Lady Cooke, we've got to get
acquainted all over As neither of us
Is as young as we used to be-even a
lady doesn't grow younger in forty
years, though, of course, she doesn't
grow older-the pleasure is great.
Incidentally We urge the registration
officers in New York to consider the
fact that Lady Cooke is an American
woman who brought an English fortune
back to her native land-reversing the
usual custom of womanhoOd in such
cases-and morally, at least, and we
hope legally, also, entitled on that
ground alone to at least one vote. We
hope she will be accorded her rights.

Mr.. Bryan'S Appeal.

The man who, with a voice which the
Almighty gave him, and a few epigrams
which he borrowed from other men,
talked himself in a few minutes into a
nomination for President, might be ex-
pected TO make a telling personal ap-
peal when stating his own case to au-
diences- Mr.. Bryan has been using all
the music of his voice, the cleverness of
his stage arts, and the sophistry of his
sham reasoning" in the effort TO bring
his appeal for votes down to the per
BOnal basis. He has tried to make his
Presidential ambition a personal mat
ter between him and his individual
hearers. He has worked on the sympa-
thies of auditors; he has brought that
magnetism of his to bear as between
man and man; he has sought to appeal
to the American instinct of fair play.
by making it appear that he is the OBJ
sect OF a conspiracy of powers, which
naught less than the verdict of the peo-
pie is powerful enough to confuse.
1t is rather a cheap and unfair ap-
peal, and yet one which might be ex-
Pected of Mr.. Bryan. There Is no doubt
that, with that volatility of tempera-
Snent which naturally accompanies his
versatility Of convictions, Mr.. Bryan Is
able to convince himself at quad-ienniaI
periods that he is inspired and anointed
and appointed to lead this people into
better-at least, other-ways. 1t is not
Hypocrisy; it is a sort of auto-hypno-
,fism.
, But it is none the less a form of APP
peal against which people should warn
themselves. Mr. Bryan has been the
victim of nothing more wicked than his
own instability OF beliefs and imprac-
ticability Of methods. He has been re-
1ected twice because he failed to stand
the test of the nations ANALYSIS. He
urges now that he is q new BRYAN; but
Is he? Is the man who makes a per
sonaI appeal for the Presidency in 1908
very different from the one who in ad-
vance Of the 1896 convention boosted
that if they would just give him
Glance on the platform he would nomi-
nate himself for Presidentg
Electing a President is the biggest
piece Of business that this biggest of
nations tTansacts- II Is mere business.
1t shouldn't be made sentimental OF
personal Votes should be cast in cold
blood, with reason, not sympathy or
sentiment, directing the act. And they
will be. This business nation will give
a business verdict. 1t is a poor year to
mix Pathos with politics. Mr.. Bryan
will gain little by the effort.
