Mr.. Bryan and His Party.

There has been lot OF discussion. some
Of 1t quite irresponsible and blatant.
about the duty Of Mr.. William Jennings
Bryan toward the Democratic party.
There has been voiced from more than
one quarter the strange request that he
should step aside and allow some one else
TO be the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent; and predictions have been freely
made. even from within the ranks OF his
own party that II he is the nominee
which It seems quite certain he IL 10 be-
another defeat is IN store for the Demo-
cratic party.
1t seems more than likely that the
spirit underlying these criticisms of Mr..
Bryan is the spirit OF petty jealousy: a
spirit which. II allowed 20 make headway.
IS certain 10 carry the party to defeat
The Democratic party. as a party, has
now been out of Office in Federal affairs
for long period. It has become dis
rupted-a house divided among itself;
lacking leadership not half so much as
unity under leadership.
Tho outcry against Mr.. Bryan's power
within the Democratic party is not a new
one. -Four years ago it was raised. and
the voice OF Democracy cried for the
leadership OF an Eastern man. Then the
cry was needed; 1t was answered by the
nomination OF Mr.. Alton B. Parker and
Mr.. Gassaway Davis. and this ticket was
so badly smashed that there were hardly
enough pieces left to be worth while
picking up.
That Mr. Bryan will be nominated al
Denver Is a practical certainty. There
may be some Democrats in the minority
who win continue to doubt whether the
strongest nomination possible was made
At any rate. that nomination will be the
expressed will Of the majority OF the
delegates-and the rank and file Of Demo
Gratis will ignore it at their peril.
Not for years has the Democratic party
had so inviting a prospect of success. II
its members be true TO their Democracy.
Mr. William II. Taft is an immensely
strong candidate. but the greater part Of
his strength lies in the fact that he will
have behind him a united party. Before
the Chicago convention there were many
enmities, differences OF opinion. doubts OF
policy. These have been or viii be har-
monized. and we see that those Republi.
cans who were bitterest against Mr.
Taft before the nomination have been the
first 10 congratulate him and offer him
their loyal support Not that they dis.
agreed with him less. but that they love
the Republican party more.

ism is what the Democrats need most
II Mr.. Bryan is TO succeed in the cam
paign, he must have the united force OF
tho Democratic party back OF him
North, South, East. and West. The ma
ton needs two parties; to check each
other, compete with each other emulate
each other in what is good and excoriat,
each other for what is bad. The Demo
cratic party is not dead. but slumbering
It needs 10 awaken-and hustle.
And there are signs that it is going L

WHEELS GO ROUND.
PittsburE Mills ns n Republican
Demonstration.

From the Baltimore American.
From Pittsbuvg yesterday came the
news that more mills had started up and
thar thousands had been given employ
ment. Within a month the re-employ-
ments in this country have amounted 70
tens Of thousands. On the general wage
proposition the workingmen are several
hundreds Of thousand dollars better off
each week than they were a month ago.
There is still wide opportunity for i'm
provement, but all the tendencies are in
the right direction, and we see every IN
dication that the rest OF the year will
grow better steadily and 1909 will be the
finest twelvemonth in our histc-v
Most OF this is the result OF the work
Of the Republican national convention at
Chicago. Business men feel safe with
Taft and Sherman. That is the finest
possible reason why both labor and capi-
tai should join hands IN eleCting the
ticket

From the Kansas City Journal
Kansas has never had Cabinet posi-

motive or reason. 1t was the same. too,
when the first harvesting machinery was
put to work TO aid the agriculturist. And
doubtless If one should follow back
through the ages the coming OF the in
ventions which have revolutionized the
industry Of the world one would find the
same irresponsible malice manifested
against the printing press. and perhaps,
in China against the use of gunpowder.

possibility of navigating the air is still
so remote that there is no need to take
precautions. But. as n matter of fact,
progress within the past ten years has
been so rapid that It is not unlikely that
in the next decade aerial craft OF some
sort or other will come into commercial
use. Indeed, Prof. Alexander Graham
BeD the distinguished inventor OF Wash
ington, declares that the airship has come
to stay.
In Brattleboro, VT, two men who shot

offense. and 1t will be a curious mark OF
progress when the first law protecting

OKLAHOMA ALL RIGHT.
Systematic RidIcuIe of the state Is
Unjust.


Unjust.
From the Springfield Republican
An fastener who spent some time in
Oklahoma last winter and spring returned
with the conviction that the Oklahoma
legislature was a much abler. honester.
and more efficient body than almost any
legislature in this part Of the country.
And he watched its proceedings and heard
its debates for weeks. The systematic
ridicule OF the Oklahoma lawmakers by a
number OF newspaper correspondents hum
cry for the dollars they could earn by
sending absurd stories TO Chicago and
New York newspapers. undoubtedly had
an effect upon Eastern opinion, yet the
truth is that Oklahoma Is as capable OF
elf-government as Massachusetts, and
more capable than New York OF Pennsyl-
vania. Even the nire-fUOt bed sheet law
had a reason which has been hitherto
overlooked. Evidently II was the result
Of a humanitarian sentiment, aroused by
the fact that thousands Of invalids pass
through the State or their way 70 the
Southwest. ana they need protection OF
this sort from the railroads and the hotels.
