PASSING OF SENATOR BRYAN,

In every death there is, as has often
been said. much that is tragic In the
death of Senator William James Bryan
OF Florida, however, the tragic element
seems particularly dominant. The
youngest senator since Henry Clay, d
man of splendid attachments and of
high character. Senator Bryan seemed
to have the world at his feet. He was
less than 80 years old, a mere youth
when measured by some standards, but
his short life was full of achievements
His fearless prosecution of wealthy
offenders while acting as solicitor of
the criminal court of his county had
given him a statewide reputation.
When he was appointed United States
senator two and one-half months ago a
most brilliant future was predicted for
him. He went into the senate with
more than local renown as an orator
and student, young though he was.
His constituents had planned to keep
him there for many years. for they be-
lieved in him thoroughly.
He never had a chance to show the
nation his caliber. While he stood at
the very dawning Of his glorious day
the darkness enveloped him. The trag-
edy assumes almost a national charac-
ter, for there is little reason to doubt
that Senator Bryan's services to the
nation would have been of great value
IL he had been SHARED
II is a striking coincidence that Sem
ator Whyte of Maryland, the Oldest
member of the upper house, and Sena-
tor Bryan, the youngest member, died
within a few days of each other. Both
senators were Democrats. And since
the adjournment of the Fifty-ninth con-
gTess on March 4 of last year seven
senators have died. six of them being
Democrats. The rapid lengthening of
the death roll must be appalling to the
members who are daily reminded of it.
