about twelve years old, whili
riding horseback and scratched
his hands and face and tore the

his horse when the bird continued
the fight until it was dispatched
with Q club. It measured four
feet from tip to tip. The mate
was also seen and put up q SINH.
lar fight, but it was not captured.
The eagles, (if eagles they were)

writes to President Taft, "why
not give them a chance to vott
on an amendment providing fol
the election Of United States sen,
ators by popular votep
In truth, why not? 1t il an out.
and-out Bryan policy, adopted
in a left handed sort of way BY
Mr.. Taft, who, as Mr.. Bryan re.
minds him, said in his speech Of
acceptance that he was inclined
to favor the election Of senators
by the people. That seems to be
the fate Of Mr.. Bryan's princi-
Ipels-the republicans take them
for their own. He once said that,
although the people had not bur.
doned him with the cares Of office,
his life was not without its an.
xieties. He could not leave his
principles out over night without
loosing some of them, and the
missing ones he generally found
at the White House. So, in sue
fceaslop, have gone his ''issues''
lof railroad regulation, Of the fed-
Ieral licenses for corporations. Of
a reduction Of import duties, of
postal savings banks, of limiting
the power to issue injunctions,
and now his tax con individual
and corporate incomes has been
snatched from him by a republic
can president and republican
congress-, and goes over half Of
it, to the people for their sanction,
the other to the statute book.
Not one Of these is of repubI-
can origination. Not one is root
ed in old-fashioned republican
belief, They are all alien to the
policies and the professions Of
The republican party from Lincoln
TO Mckinley. Had they not been
exploited and made widely popu-
lar by Mr.. Bryan not one Of them
would have been appropriated by
the republicans.
Mr.. Bryan has a few more left.
Like skiAful merchant he stud-
les to please, and it's no trouble
to show goods.
Should President Taft give
hospitable greeting to his sug-
gestion of q vote of the people
upon the election of senators by
popular vote we can imagine Mr..
Brvan packing his bag with his
unsold, remnants and taking q
train for Washington. It is ne
longer, q full line of goods-the
stock has been depleted. But he
can offer the guarantee OF bank
deposits, and the independence
of the Phillipines al, some fixed
future date. Last Of all, why
should he hesitate To- propose an
unincumbered> conveyance Of the
most celebrated of all his issues,
the issue that nearly made him
president Of the United States,
the free, independent, and un.
limited coinage of silver al the
ratio Of 16 10 II
That is going Dsck pretty far,
but Mr.. Bryan has meyer rscsnt-
cd bis belief In free, silver coip-
age, and since he has seen, %
many Of his other populistic
principles, once declared wild
and dangerous, 60 into repnbli-
can hands and thence 70 adop-

that free silver, too, win be taken
