Observation-Disclosures
An Orator as President.

1t is significant of our future that
great orator has never been presi-
dent OF the United States. We have
seen orators dominate parties and
some of them have been nominated.
but none of them has been elected.
We are credited with intense admira-
tion for orators and the demand has
created a somewhat abundant sup
ply. Some of these have rendered
excellent service in congress, but not
one has been entrusted with our
highest executive office. We cannot
be credited with reasoning on the
matter, since 1t Is at least as prob
able that an orator may be a states
men as that soldier can be become
wise in diplomacy or develop execu-
tive ability in civil life. The fact
stands apart from reasoning unless
we assume that the man who has
spoken much and effectively must
have collected an army OF enemies
as well as a host of friends.
Mr.. Bryan Is an orator. His fame
as a speaker certainly overshadows
every other popular attribute OF the
man. Webster. Clay, Calhoun. Blaine
led parties and failed of election
while men have won as soldiers and
as statesmen and even without either
OF these advantages. 1t Is useless to
ask reason or logic as against a fact;
there Is no debate here. Mr.. Bryan
says Democratic chances are good
for 1908; he was more confident In
1896. The party has outlived defeat
after defeat on Democratic ground
but that furnishes no argument that
1t could too long survive continuous
defeat as q Populist organization, nor
has experience proved that Populists
voted with US because they wrote
our platform.
Mr. Bryan says he does not desire
the "empty honor Of the presidency"
implied in an election with an antag-
onistic congress on his hands. We
York elect all their ticket except its
head and Hearst has only gone step
beyond Bryan and Roosevelt. There
Is a warning here II the tide sets as
strong against Republicanism as Mr..
Bryan asserts.
Mr.. Bryan says he is open to con-
viction and will not insist on a nomi-
nation II a strong minority enter
protest. This is the attitude of a
patriot ad opens the way for argu-
ment and consideration. Let us con-
slider. The party should not de-
nounce as traitors the men who offer
another candidate to the Democratic
convention and there should be no
bitterness when free discussion has
evolved candidate. Mr.. Bryan now
says he will support the nominee.
Let his friends adopt his attitude

An Ennis special to the Fort
Worth Record says: Col. J. s. Har-
dy, editor of the Ennis Daily News,
said today, on reading a list of Ellis
countyites appointed at Waxahachie
to attend the Waco anti-Bailey meet
ing, that they had appointed every
anti-Bailey man in the county eX-
cept himself" Just to make the
thing unanimous and to relieve the
anguish of the Records correspond
ent at Ennis we move that Colonel
Hardy be added to the list of dele
gates and feel safe in saying in ad-
vance that the motion will carry. 1t
is gratifying to know that, even
though sighted by the committee
who named the delegates as printed,
Colonel Hardy stuck to his colors.

THE NEWSPAPER MAN.

The man who edits the average
country newspaper cannot well
avoid treading on somebody's toes
continually; must expect to be cen
ures; must expect hard work and
little thanks; must expect to be call
ed coward lecause he does not
pitch into everything that some
body thinks is wrong and a fool If
he speaks out too plainly on public
evils; he must expect TO grind other
peoples aXes-and turn the grind

one of the noblest professions on
earth; the one in which the earnest
man can do the most good to his
fellowman, and In which he an hon
for good" says the Mount Pleasant
TimesReview. This is the truth, and
we are often impressed with the
proneness of good citizens to call
upon the local newspapers to per-
form some unpleasant task that he
refuses to do. Often we are asked to
peel some individual or call attention
to some local matter with the strict
injunction to not use the name of the
man making the request. He does
not want to make any of his fellow
townsmen angry, but forgets that
the editor may be equally reluctant
to make a personal enemy out of
possibly friend. But the average
newspaper man does make such enc
mics because he feels it to be his
duty to represent the best interests
of the community and then he often
gets credit for being a scold instead
of being credited with performing an
unpleasant duty.-Abilene Reporter,
Every newspaper editor in Texas

class of men do nearly so much free
work for the benefit of the public
than newspaper editors, and fire.
quently they do not even get word
of approval for the good and unset
fish work they are doing for their
respective localities, much less
substantial financial support. The
Mount Pleasant Times-Review and
the Abilene Reporter, both able pa
pers, have done well to call public
attention to the injustice that is too
often done the newspapers by I'M
thinking people. 1t may cause at
least some of their readers to be
more lenient in the future.-Fort

LABOR EDITORS MEET
National Labor Editorial Association
Organized in Washington

Washington, Feb. ga national
labor editorial association was form
ed as the result of a conference here
today of prominent labor editors OF
the daily press all over the country.
The purpose of the organization
will be to bring the labor writer's OF
the country in close personal touch,
the discussion of policies to further
the interests of the labor movement
all over the country and for the dis
semination of union labor news in a
form that will be fair to organized
labor. 1t will be suggested that the
annual sessions of the association be
held each year at the time and
place of the meeting of the annual
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, so that it's members
may get in touch with the leaders of
that great labor body.

By reason of careful study the
Denison Herald has grown to be
authority on the split-log drag. That
paper says: THE road that knows
not the touch of the split-log drag is
the road that is full of deep ruts,
chug holes and gullies. Every rain
makes 1t worse and everyone who is
forced to drive over it wonders why
someone does not get busy and fix
it. The men who ought to wake up
are the men who own property along
the road and who are forced to use
it in hauling their produce to mar
ket. A little cooperation under in
telligent direction is all that is need
ed to bring results that will be pleas
