The New Bryan
BY LEO.

ln66 1OE LHC pICoIuCllSJ' ~
he was "the boy orator OF the
Platte" and later on "the peer
less leader" but now, since the
Denver convention, he is the
new Bryan"
What is new about him2 Age?
Oh, no, he is twelve years older
than in 1896, and if one may cor
rectly judge by his picture. ne
has not renewed his youth. He
looks older, surely. Has he a.
dopted a new set of principles?
Hardly. And yet the platform
on which he stands is a little
milder than those of 1896 and
1900. There is in the Denver
platform not a word about free
silver, imperialism, or railroad
ownership.
Has the new Bryan changed
his mind anent these matters?
Not at all. He simply aftirms
that they are not the present Is
sue. Some other matters are now
paramount. The real issue is
Bryan himself. Call him what
you please, new or old, he is the
paramount issue. If you elect
him chief magistrate of the ma
ton you will have many ques-
tions to consider in course of
time.
w. J. Bryan is certainly new
man in many respects compared
with the Democratic candidate of
1896. Then he was young, poor
and very little known; now he is
rich, bolder, and of wide repute.
And, moreover, in the twelve
years he has lectured everywhere
in the United States, Travelled ex-
tensively in foreign lands, and
talked with earth's great people,
and because of such opportuni-
ties his mind must have under
gone much enlargement, his fac
ulties must have expanded, so
that he'may be something of a
new man. Environment has much
influence over ones personality.
Bryan's environment during the
last twelve years must have at
fected him powerfully and bene-
ficially. His friends have MOTTO
ed the change, and hence dub
him "the new Bryan"
What has become of the old
personality? Where is the Bry-
an of 1896 and 1900? Is he elm
mated? Psychologists teach us
that our bodies undergo a COM
plete renewal every few years
that a man fifty years old has
worn out seven or eight bodies.
What becomes of the old bodies
that we throw off, They go some
where and the atoms or electrons
are gathered up in natures eco
nomy to be used again in the for
nation of other bodies.
Has the old Bryan passed a
way? Is the Denver nominee al
together new Bryan? Believe
it not, friends. The particles o
matter thrown off from our eve
changing bodies may go into tn
everlasting exchange, but tn
principles-the fundamental
traits of character persist-the,
have continuity.
w. J. Bryan is the same naal
he was in 1895. His soul-tralt
are the same. He never has bee
a man of sane judgment, OF meE
tai poise, but one easily persuac
ed, and apt to go astray. Sc
how the silver craze affected hin
how bCistereus he became abeS

notion of government ownershi

work is moving at much great
er speed. Our council passed
resolutions last week for paving

work will doubtless not cease un-

to enable our people to make the
