Americas great Commander. Nebras-
Ka's son, William Jennings Bryan.
AS Mr.. Dunn proceeded, almost
every mention he made to the char
acter Of Mi. Bryan was enthusiastic
cally applauded, although he had not
yet mentioned the name OF the Ne.
braskan. The plaudits, however, were
not long continued, and their tran
scient character seemed to promise
that the record-breaking demonstra~
ton Of yesterday in honor OF Mr.. Bry-
an would not, when the time arrived,
be equalled in duration.
When Mr.. Dunn declared that his
candidate was the choice Of the, milf
tant democracy OF the country the
convention broke in with wild cheers.
The ever ready flags were tossed
aloft, and a roar of applause swept
through the hall. While the cheering
was at It's height a white dove was
let loose from the gallery and flew
across the convention hall, while the
delegates hailed It with great enthu-
siasm and cheers lasted as long 81 it
was in sight.
Mr.. Dunn brought out the name OF
| William Jennings Bryan, with an in
tense dramatic force, and the response
from the great throng was electric.
The delegates sprang up, the CALLER
les followed suit and the demonstra,
ton was under way in a manner that
for the tim bling at last promised to
rival yesterdays exhibition Of enthu'
siasm. II
IA few moments after the cheering
began an immense oil painting Of Mr.,
Bryan was lowered from behind a
monster American shield, which had
reposed over the chairman's desk ever
since the convention bgan. The ap
pearance Of the picture raised the
pitch OF the outburst.
Amid scenes of the widest enthu
siasm Mr.. Bryan was declared the
nominee of. the democratic party fol
president OF the United States.

Professional Standing.

A professor of English literature In
one OF our universities once brought to
me to publish in this magazine a learn
ed piece of writing. 1t seemed to me
pretty dull thing and not important,
according to my Judgment, to anybody
and not possibly interesting to more
than a mere handful of special stu
dents. ! told him this as politely as l
could. He soon came to me again and
smiling took me into his confidence.
II hardly expected" he said, "that you
would publish that study that l offer
ed you-in fact, care little about
1t myself. l wrote it because my pro-
fesslonal standing demands that l shall
produce something at certain intervals,
but now l have piece Of writing that
do take great pride In, and l want
you to publish 1t without betraying the

INDUSTRIES ARE REvIvING.
Workers Of All Kinds Are Reported
in Great Demand.

Business throughout the United
States. both commercial and indus
trial, Is reviving, according to Ter
ence V. Powderly, chief Of the divi-
sion Of information, bureau of immi-
grafton. The division of information
was created by Congress as an agency
to divert immigration from the larger
cities, and find places for the unem-
ployed alien. The functions of the
division have been enlarged, inasmuch
as Chief Powderly is endeavoring to
provide work for Americans as well
as aliens.
From July l last until early in Oc--
tober 100000 requests were made upon
Chief Powderly to supply various
forms Of labor for factory, railroad.
farm and Industrial enterprises of all
descriptions. About the middle of
October, when the financial disturb
ances became acute, many of these
applications were Cancelled, corre-
spondents stating that instead of need
ing labor they were putting off men,
and that everything pointed to a pro-
longed period Of depression.
Recently there has been a renewal
of the demand for labor. Chief Pow
derly says that this demand comes
from every section of the country:
that 1t calls for mechanics, mill oper-
atlves. factory hands, railroad buillers.>
and farm laborers. From the agricul-
tural States have come notice that in
the spring hundreds of thousands Of
farm hands will be needed, and that
every effort should be made by the gov
ernment at this time to see to II that
an adequate supply of labor is provided
In the regions where 1t will be urgently
required.
AN investigation has developed"
said Mr.. Powderly, that, while the.
unusually large exodus Of foreigners
during the past few months was the d.
rect result Of disturbed financial con-
dltions, 1t was not due to the closing
OF mills or factories or cessation In the
progress of public works. The great
majority Of those who returned to Eu
rope were not turned out of employ
ment. They were alarmed by the out
look and decided to go back. The tide.
VIII begin to turn early In the spring,
and l have no doubt that the increas-
Ing demand for labor that our reports
Indicate is at hand will be fully met
by the supply In this country amplified
by an enlarged immigration"

kind, and that 1t distinguishes pretty
clearly in Its estimates of success Of
one sort and another. 1t applauds the
student and the investigator. the man
of superior intellectual power and in
dustry who was necessarily seeking
knowledge and truth. 1t is deeply Inn
pressed by that rare union of quail
ties through which this man was able
to apply his knowledge for the benefit
of humanity everywhere. The great
scientists career appeals with equal
force to all nations, and 1t is an in
spiration to young men who would fol-
low in his footsteps even If they can
not hope to attain to his rank and his
worldwide fame For he found his re-
ward In the first place in the very ma
ture Of his work, which was to be priz-
ed for its own sake and the keen inter-
est that 1t aroused from day to day.
If there could be any such thing as an
assurance Of happiness 1t would be
found In such life.

din OF political battle.
Secretary Taft stands sharply in the
limelight and his friends are redoub-
ling their efforts In his behalf The
fact that he is the candidate of the ad-
ministration is sure to have the effect
OF keeping Washington on the jump to
watch every move. Senators Foraker
and Knox and Secretary Cortelyou, also
located In Washington, will help to
keep the political pot furiously boiling
In the capital. New York will get the
height OF Its excitement from the fact
that Gov. Hughes seems destined to be
factor Of no small moment In the line
up of the contestants In Chicago. Vice
President Fairbanks and Speaker Can
non, presiding officers respectively of
the Senate and House, must inevitably
keep these bodies embrolled in the
stress growing out Of their candidacy,
and their home States of Indiana and
Illinois are likely to feel the heat.
Between these men, Taft, Knox,
Hughes, Foraker, Fairbanks and Can
non, the convention at Chicago Is re-
garded an open chance. All are pow
erfully backed, all will push their cam

demned; the giants of business win on
the one hand be extolled, on the other
savagely condemned.
The campaign will last four months,
and in that time both parties will call
on the biggest guns they have; the star
speakers will be drafted to present the
opposing arguments. AS a forensic
struggle the fight is bound to be more
than ordinarily interesting Each side
has orators of the first rank, veterans
who understand the art of stirring au.

Leading the Republicans may be
Roosevelt himself. For him to speak
In campaign while holding the office
of President would be In violation OF
precedent, of course, but the chief apos-
tie Of the strenuous life has never
bothered much about slavish Difference
to custom, and as his policies are like
ly to be under fire throughout the cam

may be wrought up to one Of his char
acterlstically blunt speeches.

his fine voice, handsome face and mag

,paigns with that energy for which the
American politician is famous. For
them will be expended limitless elo-
quence, and In their interest the quiet
work, which appears little on the sur
face, but which means SO much In the
final result, will keep forces Of trained
men busy from now on until the nomi-
nation is made.
For the first time In twenty years
the Republican convention will see a
real battle. The gathering that nomi-
mated Benjamin Harrison In 1883 was
an open fight much similar to the one
that promises for this year. In 1892 the
denomination of Harrison was fore
gone conclusion; in 1896 the movement
against free silver had fixed on McKin-
ley In advance Of the convention as the
man to lead the fight; and in 1900 not
a shadow Of opposition developed
against his denomination. Similarly
Roosevelt outranked in popularity every
name suggested for the Republican NOM
lnation. But this year the quadrennlal
upheaval will be made still NOR chaotic
by the sharpness of the Republican bat
fla
