What Will Bryan Dol

What part is Mr.. Bryan to play in
the national drama this fall? His
peculiar shifts and changes of trout,
his recent selections of paramount is
sues, new alignments here and there,
are conditions which make his posi-
ton Just now a matter Of interest. In
his own state, where he has set up
county option as the chief question: be-
fore the people, he repudiates the
nominee of his party for governor and
yet supports it's equally odious nomi-
nee for the senate, who is in turn sup
porting the Objectionable gubernator-
ial candidate. In Iowa he supports
the party's nominee for governor.
whose position on the liquor question
while not so conspicuous, is neverthe-
less practically the same as that OF
Dahlman in Nebraska.
But in Ohio, in New York, in Penn
sylvania, in New Jersey, in Connecti-
cut, in Massachusetts, what will Mr.
Bryan do? We know what he will
not do in Ohio, for Governor Harmon's
refusal to prepare to stand aside
for the Bryan dictum has answered
that question in advance. But will he
rush to the aid of Boss Murphy and
Tammany's man Dix, in New York, OF
does he still remember Murphy's snut
of him at Denver and in Lincoln?
VIII he help Dr.. Woodrow Wilson, the
intimate friend of the late Grover
Cleveland, for governor in New Jersey
Will the democratic reactionaries il
Connecticut and Massachusetts bC
given his assistance? v
The question remains, Is this avail
anche of democratic votes, abou
which we hear so much, to tumble
down upon us without so much as ;
tiny shove by Mr., Bryan? Is he no
going to get in on thhe ground floor
after all these years of successive de
feats? Perhaps Mr.. Bryan is jus
wise enough to know that there il
more talk than truth in this demo
cratic landslide idea to remember tina
his experience has proved that nois
is not necessarily votes.

RANDOLPH, Neb.. oct. ITO the Edi-
tor Of The Bee; l write today to the
management to discontinue The Bee to my
address.
l have been acquainted with your paper
since boyhood and consider 1t strong
daily paper
l cannot accept your doctrine on the
liquor question. and some other things,
and prefer to patronze a daily that OPP
poses the booze business.
cannot say l am just in sympathy with
the disposition manifested in some parts
Of, our state to boycott Omaha because she
is trying TO run the state, although there
is good ground for the action.
]. p. YosT,
Chairman Board of Examiners, North Ne
braska Methodist Episcopal Church.
We regret to lose the Rev. Yost
from among our circle Of readers, even
If only temporarily, just as we would
to lose anyone else who considers The
Bee a strong paper. But we shall try
our best to appear regularly every day
as usual; in other words, to para
| phrase, an expression of Horace Gree
| ley's, the Rev. Yost may stop read
ing The Bee, bu, he cannot stop The
Bee from being read.
The reason given by our CORE
spondent simply indicates the extent
to which the canker of bigotry may
consume a one-idea preacher when he
| imagines he can change centuries-old
| worldwide customs with one dose Of
a single nostrum without changing
human nature. The sudden conclu
sion of Rev. Yost that The Be,
might lead him astray by it's doctrin,
on the liquor question must. more
over, be an eleventh-hour awakening
because The Bee has been preaching
the same doctrine year in and year gu
for a third of century. In that time
The Bee has been threatened with boy
colts by liquor dealers as well as b,
preachers, by labor agitators and b!
corporation magnates, by A. P. A
fanatics and by Roman Catholic zeal
OTIS, but 1t has gone straight aheaC
fearlessly advocating the right as i
saw it, proclaiming truth and demand
ing justice for all, publishing a stroni
paper and a clean paper, and, abov,
all, giving the news promptly and &C
curately.
We trust that when the Rev
Yost energies from the heat of tn,
campaign and becomes again hi
rational self he will renew his sub
scription to The Bee with the assur
ance that he will get his money
worth.

0vershooting the Mark.

Our good friends down at Lincoln
are unable to repress their keen disap-
pointment at the census figures, which
give Nebraska's capital 43,973 inhab-
itants, when some of them had been
fondly deceiving themselves with the
notion that they had $4,000 popula-
ton. Our Lincoln friends are, there
fore, conjuring up fifty-seven varieties
of explanations for the failure of the
census enumerators to discover and
identify more live, human exhibits
within the confines of their city and
blaming IL upon almost everything
from the dryness Of the town to the
blindness of the census-takers, and the
perverseness of folks who, like the
great Bryan, have seen fit to remove
themselves to the suburbs immediately
outside of the city limits.
We allude to these facts, not to
make Lincoln feel worse, for Omaha is
destined likewise to stop considerably
short of expectations on the census
iauuSi anu VIII AlOubOiSbo duNdHCS SlHl-
liar explanations to mitigate the dis
crepancies. The point we wish to
make is that we are habitually and
chronically a nation of boosters and
braggarts; that we are accustomed to
put undue stress on bigness and rapid
growth; that in order to make other
people believe we are prodigies we in
dulge in exaggerations until we con-
vince ourselves they are founded on
/ fact, and then move the peg a little
further forward.
No one has yet found out just what
makes one city grow faster than an
other, why a great city should rise in
one place apparently no better favored
than another spot that remains mere
farm land. 1t must be the combina-
tiOn of various circumstances, physical
conditions fitting in with enterprise
public spirit and concerted action on
the part of the inhabitants, that does
il. All our western cities are marvels
entitled to rank among the wonders
of the world, when We take into con.
sideration their newness, the meageI
resources of the pioneers and the al,
most insurmountable obstacles over
come. We have enough to boast
about without resorting to fiction.

The FIRST act IT the Portuguese pro-
visional government after the desposi-
ton of the king is to proclaim to the
people that the long night for civil
liberty is over" Taken literally, this
is wholly wrong. The fight for civil
liberty has only begun. II may be
natural for the first flush of victory to
bring enlarged visions Of reward, but
no such iridescent CLEAN flashing sud
denly after ages of darkness can re-
veal more than a mere suggestion of
what is involved in the transition
from monarchy to popular govern
ment
Republics are not made out over
night. Popular rule is not extracted
from imperial power in a day. Revo-
buttons against prescribed privileges
are but the first step in the long, la
borious process of achieving civil lib
erty. All the republicans of Portugal
have thus far done is to reduce to a
concrete expression their desire for
popular government. but they are a
long way from those larger liberties.
They are on the right track, to be
sure, and if they pursue their way
with wisdom and virtue under the
leadership of sane thought and judg-
ment in the light of history's best ex-
ample they may reach the goal they
are seeking without the loss of time
and with the respect of the world.
Portugal is in the same position
that many other countries striving to
be free have occupied. 1t has first the
inherent obstacles of traditional mon
archy to surmount. 1t has next to ad-
just and adapt itself to the functions
of free government, to understand and
assimilate the principles of a republic,
and it has next to practice the pre-
cepts It has thus acquired. But all of
this will take time and patience and
patriotic zeal. 1t will cost dearly, as
1t has cost other nations in the posi-
ton of this ambitious power today.
The assassination of King Carlos
and the crown prince year ago fore
Swallowed something of the present
crisis, and yet the conditions provok-
ing the outcome seem to be peculiarly
paradoxical. Carlos it is now ad
mitted, aroused the ire of government
grafters by his relentless pursuit Of
their Vaccinations and finally paid the
penalty of his life for his zeal. But II
would probably be unjust to imputt
to the revolutionists no higher motive!
than those that actuated these polit
ical parasites. That crisis simpl!
fastened, it did not create, the move
ment toward republicanism.
