ces, the average man gets into a fni-
cal mood and is eager to destroy abu-
ses which have afflicted society, in all
ages and in all lands. Like Angelo,
in measure for Measure" he ina
gines that the views and frailties of
poor human nature may be blotted
out, by the mere exercise of the sover-
eign will; and, like Angelo, he him
self falls below the severe standard set
for the mass.
In such matters, common sense is no
less essential than common honesty
There can be no compromise with mill
tant vice and destructive greed; but
time is the supreme healer and will
cure most of the maladies which now
seem to be chronic. The good infu-
ences of the age have an unparalleled
sweep and vigor, and will be quite ir-
resistible, if directed with an eye to
the past, as we'll as the future. There
can be no backward step, but the for
ward strides should be taken with inf
mite care. We want neither the Ro.nd-
heads contempt of innocent pleasure,
nor the Cavaliers defiance of whole
some restraint. We want to initiate
neither the England of Cromwell, nor
the England of Charles. Our national
type has greatly changed within the
last hundred years and the primitive
ideals have undergone correspond
ing metamorphosis. 1t is the case OF
a great river which has shifted its
channel, as it flows to the sea. The
competent legislator will not imagine
that he can make the old banks serve
for the new stream. The American
blood, once almost exclusively pro.
vincial, becomes more and more COS
mopolitan with the lapse of each de.
cade. AS you cannot make a gia nj
wear the clothes of his youth, so you
cannot rivet upon the modern man the
shackles which his ancestors were viii.

more obedience; less preaching, and
more practice; less agitation, and
more toll; less scrutiny of others, and
more searching of our own hearts

STATS ZEITUNG AGAINST BRYAN
Herman Ridder, its Editor, Declares
Himself in Favor Of Johnson
of Minnesota.

The anti-Bryan movement in New
York is assuming new features. Her
man Ridder, editor of the New York
Stats Zeitung, is now making a tour
of southern states with a view to see
ing what can be done there to secure
anti-Bryan delegations to the Denver
convention.
He stopped in Washington on his
way south and said he was doing all
he could to secure the nomination of
some man he thought could win. Per-
sonally, he favors Governor johnson
of Minnesota, but will accept any
other man of the right type. Mr.. Rid
der will interview prominent editors
and others who help in shaping public
opinion, and an interview with him
yesterday at Savannah indicates that
he is hard at work.

The aristocracy OF the west is fast
falling into the dissolute habits of the
swagger east. In the Pompeiian room
of Chicago's leading hotel, for ex-
ample, New Years day was ushered
IN with one prolonged spree. Seats
around the drinking tables of tbs
swell joint sold for no less than fifty
dollars per and were considered
"deucedly cheap" at that. Society
women in latticed hose waded up to
their knees in the public pool, while
still others in silken lingerie and
limbs that charm danced on tables to
the accompaniment of popping corks
and the imbecile plaudits of giddy
millionaires and half-besotted fools.
Twas a scene the like of which is
witnessed at other times only in the
haunts of the scarlet women of licensed
streets. Had Christ been there he
would have scourged the misguided
performers from the place, even as he
did the Pharisees from the temple.
Had Watterson witnessed the orgie he
would have burned the pages of the
Currler Journal with column upon
column of virtuous indignation.

YOUNG FIRST IN The FIELD
Attorney General Lifts Lid OF

Promises Not to Feel Sore il the
Choice Should Fall Else
where.

The expected has happened. Attor-
ney General Young, the enforcer of
lids and laws, is out with a public de-
claration Of his willingness to become
the republican candidate for governor.
From his statement it is not to be
inferred that Mr.. Young will open
headquarters or employ corps of
field managers, but he does feel that
the rank and file of the party wants
him, AID that being the case he stands
ready to get into the harness. In his
letter he says:
'sThe question of the personnel of
the next republican state ticket has for
some time been the subject of great
interest and general discussion. My
name has frequently been mentioned
as candidate for governor or for re-
election to the Office of attorney gen.
eral. My friends and the public gen
orally are entitled to know my position,
especially as to the Office I now hold.
After mature reflection I have con-
cluded not to be a candidate for re-
election as attorney general, but | will
be candidate for the republican
nomin alton for governor.
''The rank and file should be left
free to choose between the many who
are qualified to lead the party. 1t is
to the credit of all that no one has
been thus far pushing himself for the
place.

my duties, nor the desire to make a
campaign for the nomination, nor is
my candidacy to be taken as unfriend.

''The negro in Africa has scarcely
burst the chrysalis of the primitive
state of man. In America, he is yet in
state of racial childhood. AS he
realizes this, the faster he will grow,
the quicker he will learn, the sooner
he will reach his racial manhood. In
less than half a century, he has
achieved wonders. Before the century
we have just begun is half over, he
will have achieved greater still. He
has yet and upon an extensive scale to
learn habits of method and order; ha-
bits of tenacity and acquisitions; ha-
bits of sustained industry and sobrie-

brown or black-or any individual
man-can get on and prosper.
''He is bad white man who will not
help his neighbor black man when that
neighbor black man shows the spirit
to help himself. He is a bad black
man who cherishes hatred in his heart
against the white man because he is a
white man. He is foolish black man
who thinks because the mirage of So
cial equality which would prove a
curse rather than a blessing, is denied
him, that the white man hates him.

the negro. Among other things he
said:

Official Paper of New Ulm.

The New York World, in setting a
standard up to which the next demo-
cratic presidential nominee must meas
ure, says:
HE must be defender of the con
stitution, but not the worskirer of a
fetish.
He must realize that return to the
old ways of government by plutocra-
cy, privilege. protection and plumber
is impossible; that the moral regener-
alton begun in violence must be COM
pleted in sobriety.
He must be opposed, as a matter
of policy, to gross extravaganza in
the use of public funds, and he must
detest, on principle, any taxing of the
people beyond the actual requirements
of their government.
t'He must favor immediate reduction
OF the tariff.
''He must be a hater in equal mea-
sure of paternalism and socialism.
HE must set his face like flint
against government ownership OF
railroads, initiative and referendum,
government guarantees of bank de-
posts, and all other populistic no.
lions.
HE must demand from all corpor-
ations publicity, sotediencetto law and
recognition of the superior rights OF
the whole people, but he must also OBJ
serve the obligations of the state to
protect it's own artificial creation in
all legitimate ano authorized under
'sakings.
HE must favor the singing out and
rigorous punishment of individual
wrongdoers, not merely the fning OF
an impersonal corporation.
''He must be radical conserver,
mot a destroyer. Of both public and
private credit.
"He must be an opponent of imper-
6alism, militarism and jingoism.
He must prefer too little govern
unent to tooe much government, and
must insist INCREASINGLY upon rigid APP
pRication of the basic principle of gov

authorized representatives in congress
in preference to any government by

HE must possess unquestioned in
