THE "MENAcE OF BRYAN"

The Republicans and assistant Re-
publcans, who have for some time
been engaged in trying to prevent the
nomination of Bryan. have commenced
to change their tactics. They realize
that they have lost the fight. They
admit that Bryan will be nominated.
Already some Of them have started an
attempt to defeat him. The OIL cry,
"the menace of Bryan" has been
raised. The Philadelphia Public
Ledger leads off. 1t summons the
country and asks whether it is pre-
pared to meet the impending rush of
Bryanisn. which must soon become the
chief topic of thought. The crisis is at
hand" it says.
This sounds like 1896. There is an
old familiar look about those double
loaded head lines. There is an cd
familiar ring about 1.-The menace Of
Bryan" But will the plan work again?
Some of the saviors Of the country
think not. The New York Evening
Post sorrowfully. solemnly. and de-
spairingly admits that, with Bryan q
candidate New York is doubtful
state. 1t is afraid that the stare can
not again be frightened into voting
against Bryan. 1t says Roosevelt ha.
destroyed all hope of soaring the peu-
pie about Bryan. "After having tried
to domesticate wild cat in your own
house, you cannot frighten your good
neighbors by pointing to barking
dog" The sad views of the New York
Evening Post are shared by leading
Republicans Of New York. Ex-mayor
Low has said that "the danger of n
Bryan victory in New York is great"
There does, indeed, appear to be
| some doubt as to whether mothers
will be able to scare their children into
submission next fall by the mention
of the DOGGY" Bryan. The plain truth
of the matter is that the good people of
the United States have had twelve
years in which to become acquainted
with Bryan, and somehow the word
and belief has gone abroad that there
is really nothing to be afraid Of The
voters have learned that they were de-
ceived in 1896 and 1900. The cry of
the honest dollar. in view of devel-
opments. will produce ridiculc and re-
sentiment rather than fright The cry
of the full dinner pail, with mobs
marching on city halls demanding
work. will not be made even by such
papers as the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
The situation is, indeed. discourag-
ing. With Il Republican panic on their
hands, tho Republicans and assistant
Republicans have a greater task on
their hands to save the country than
they had in 1896, when with tho aid of
panic which they made the people
believe was Democratic, and with the
aid of millions secured from the life
insurance companies and the trusts,
they were barely able to save the
country from "the menace of Bryan"

ROBERT EMMETT.

On each recurring anniversary of
the birth of Robert Emmet, Irish people
the world over pay tribute to his mem
ory. Robert Emmett was born on the
4th of March, 1918, and was executed
on the Goth Of September, 1903. It is
remarkable what an effect the life and
character of this man, who at the time
of mis- death was but twenty-five years
OF age. has had upon a nation. No
other man of known Irish birth is SO
dear to the hearts of the Irish people
as Robert Emmett. In all the long line
of saints. martyrs. statesmen and ora
tors. which Ireland has furnished to
the world, no name so endures, with
the exception Of st. Patrick, as does
that of the youthful hero, who loved
his country with all the fervor OF
youthful cnthusiasm-not wisely, but
too we'll.
In direct way Robert Emmet ac-
complished nothing for his country,
and yet he Is remembered better, loved
more dearly. than men connected with
the glories and conquests of Ireland
The reason Is found in his character
the romance connected with his life,
his youth, and the immortal speech
which he delivered in the prisoners
dock in answer to the question why
sentence should not be pronounced. He
was gifted With great talent, with gen
erous feelings, and literary and scien-
| lific tastes highly cultivated. He was
remarkable among his companions 70,
the purely Of his life and the inflexi-
bility Of his principles. No one. not
even his judges and executioners. ever
questioned the motive of Robert EN-
met. There was no selfislnness, or per-
sonal ambition in his makeup. His
enthusiasm was extreme. Thus, though
he accomplished nothing, his character
and the manner OF his death have beer
for more than a century an inspiration
to the aspirations Of Irish nationality
The place which Robert Emmett oc-
cupies In the hearts Of the Irish peo-
pie is one Of the many striking illus
'rations of what character can do. He
will live on when others, who have ac-
complished much moro in a material
way for the benefit of their fellow
countrymen. will have passed out OF
memory. The place which he occupies
in the hearts of the Irish people IS also
striking refutation of the charges
that is often made against Catholic
Ireland. Robert Emmet was an Irish
man who belonged to the Episcopallau
church. This Protestant young man,
who accomplished nothing for his
country. occupies a greater place in
the affections of his Catholic country
men that O'Connell. who was the lib
orator of a people from the shackles
Of religious and political slavery. Ma
terial success is but temporary; gov
ernments rise and fall; the freedom of
today may be the despotism of tomor-
row, but ideas and character live on
forever.

by 10000 unemployed in New York

The outlook for the establishment OF a trans

Washington, October Is.
GREATER EFFICIENCY OBTAINED.-The
system of paying civilian employees weekly at the
Brooklyn navy yard and all other naval plants
has been most satisfactory It was expected that
there would be much confusion end that It would
be necessary to increase the clerical force at all
the yards, and especially at Brooklyn, to carry
out the Presidents recent order doubling the NUM-
Der Of paydays m a month. The reports received
from the Brooklyn yard indicate that the system
has been success, and that with perceptible in
crease in the routine work to be done the task
OF preparing the payrols and making the dis
bursements accomplished with greater sim
pncity than ever before. In the mean time. the
paynaster general of the navy has consulted the
Controller OF the Treasury and obtained authority
for new form OF pay ticket. which will require
only the signature Of the payee. This IS a step IN
the simplifcation of the whole system.
