BRYANs' GREATNESS.

Bryan is defeated in his third race
for the presidency. At the present
writing New York is heavily against
him. and without New York there is
no hope. But while fuller returns
may affect popular and electoral
majorities, they can have no influence
on the decision that New York has
rendered. Taft is the next president.
The News hoped it might be other
wise. We knew perfectly the terrific
forces arrayed against the commoner,
but we knew likewise the trend OF
sentiment toward him, and we be-
lieved for long time the tide would
set strongly enough to carry him to
the White house. We were mistak-
en-. But we were not mistaken in
our estimate of the man. Defeated
though he be, defeated for the third
time, we hold that Bryan has won a
place among the immortals. He has
made his race and fallen, but the race
was abundantly worth running.
For to Bryan, more than any other
man, more than TO any other twenty
men, is due the rising tide of reform,
which has been checked, but no more
by the election of Mr.. Taft. When,
in 1896, the interests" felt that they
had gained absolute mastery of both
parties, Bryan arose and wrested con-
troll of one great organization from
them.
1t was his magnificent fight on the
money question that brought mora
issues to the front in American poll
ties. Every measure of relief from
licensed or unlicensed extortion tina
has passed since that day was in
itiated by William J. Bryan. Thu
reforms for which Roosevelt has takel
credit were filched bodily from th'
commoner's chest. We may add tina
Mr.. Roosevelt's violence, his reck
1essness of laws and constitutions
this firm conviction of a Lonesome
righteousness and policy of feeding
monopolies with one hand while NOR
or less whacking them with the other
are ali Mr.. Roosevelt's own.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
PASSING OPPORTUNITIES

Great bodies move slowly and or
tentimes great events move noiseless-
Nv. The irrigation projects of AM
erica have ceased to lack novelty,
says the Butte News, yet dotted over
the entire arid west are mammoth pro-
iects, few Of which entail less than a
million dollars expenditure.
One reads in the history Of Egypt,
as chapter Of its national life, of an
era of irrigation. Unnoticed today
by the hurried hreadwinner, irriga-
ton, inaugurated by the present gen
Grafton and now beginning to produce
miraculous results, will, when the
history of America is written half a
century hence, constitute an epoch be-
fore which almost all other events
will dwindle by comparison.
Those who look regretfully at the
days of past opportunity will look
again and with more regret at the
days when land might have been hac
for the asking The heritage OF
king is scorned today by the self en-
shaved wage Garner.
The noisy agitator incites his listen
ers to discomfort while he eschews the
land which is his high road to thu
freedom for which he longs.
Opportunity knocks often at man
door in this western country, but new
er SO loud or with such forceful soun'
as in this irrigation age.
And this call may be the last.
National irrigation is no scheme 0

Mr.. Bryan is defeated. But in
iefeat we should not be at all sur
Drised to see him exert greater IN
Huence on the legislation of the next
four years than his victorious rival.
He is unquestionably the ADLER man.
He has an immeasurably clearer insight
into conditions, and he has frank,
clearcut way of stating those condi-
lions which Taft cannot hope to rival.
And, from present indications, the
Democratic party has made notable
gains both in state governments and
in congressman, and we repeat that no
man YIELDS the power in Democracy
that Bryan does. He must still be
reckoned with, and the nation is to be
congratulated on that fact.
When the political history of the
last fifty years is. written, few things
will seem more remarkable than the
perennial popularity of Bryan. With
out an Office, without machine, with
out the prestige of past success or the
power behind him of organized wealth
indeed, with all these things
against him, he is still the tribune OF
the people, the foremost man of 9
great, though beaten party. We OF
today understand a portion of the rea-
sons for this strength. We know the
earnestness, the honesty. the clearcut
intellect and biting speech of thu
man. We know his life agains
which no man has dared to cast tn
mud of scandal We know, thougl
we may not fully analyze his remark
able power over men. The othe
factors are hidden from us. They ma,
be revered in the future, or they ma
not. But this we know, whethe
history can explain the greatness Q
the man or not, history will recogniz
that greatness to the full, and wi
know that it was greatness fraugf
with blessings for the nation.
Mr.. Taft is elected. We wish hi
we'll. The best we can wish him
that he will disappoint our even
fear, and drown our regrets in
chorus of praise. For him PERSONAL
we have only the kindliest feeling
We thought, and still think, that
was running under very sinister au

First of all, let US unite in a deter

the law is enforced, that all people at
all times and all places see that the
man charged with crime is given a
fair trial
Secondly,let all good citizens unite
