overthrow of the monarchy they present
ed demands which their employers were
unable to grant. particularly as the po-
litical disturbances had so upset trade
that business was for e time virtually at

workers looked to the new government
for assistance. and were greatly disap-
pointed to find that the republic was even
more limited in its power of business
regulation than the monarchy.
The truth is that Portugal, though
wretchedly governed and in sore need of
a change of some sort. was not ripe for
a republic-making revolution. The people
were not prepared to take over their own
responsibilities 1t is one thing to be dis
contented and another thing to be con-

stand firmly established upon a fOunda-

mutiny in the army and navy or by the

The New York Senatorship.

In the name of the prophet. to what are
We coming. Were ever things political
quite so mixed at any time in the past
as they now are?
a New York man of the name of
Craiger has sent out invitations to a
meeting scheduled for January at which
the claims of Edward NJ. Shepard and
William +. Sheehan in connection with
the New York senatorship are to be dis
cussed. Many prominent lawyers have
been asked to attend. and Mayor Gay
nor has been asked to preside.
This is all very we'll. but 1t is not all.
Gov. Harmon of Ohio, Gov.-elect Wilson
of New Jersey and GOv.-elect Foss of
Massachusetts have been remembered, and
requested to appear and help settle the
veXed question. AS If they were not
without troubles of their own at home!
Gov. Harmon is wondering what sort
of man is to succeed Mr.. Dick, Mr.. FOss
whether MIR. Lodge can be laid on his
back. while MIR. Wilson is engaged in a
stubborn tussle with the boss of the New
Jersey democratic machine.
But if they were free-handed and free
of care. what business would they have
with the New York situation? AS good
democrats. they may hope for a wise Sc
lection in New York-tO see some man
chosen to succeed Mr. Depew who by
reason of his intellectual gifts and stand
ing and high personal character would
be credit to the state and q valuable
party asset. But there an end. Fancy
them. even upon invitation, travelling to
New York and advising New Workers
about the latters' own affairsi
If the senatorial choice Is between Mr..
Shepard and Mr.. Sheehan, the New
York democrats are not to be congratu-
lated. The former is a great lawyer, a
student of politics. and an accomplished
writer. but his habit of thought and his
temperament do not suggest political
leadership, or distinction In the Senate.
Mr.. Evarts. it will be remembered. failed
in the Senate. When he reached that
body he was older than Mr.. Shepard
now is. but it was not age that disquali-
fed him. He was simply out Of his ele-
ment, as Mr.. Shepard will be If he gets
there.
Mr.. Sheehan would be more at home,
and in the maneuverings for party ad-
vantage would render good service. But
not as leader. He could not hope to
reach that rank. a. the Senate is now
constituted. Men like Mr. Bailey, Mr..
CulbersOn. Mr.. Bacon, Mr.. Rayner, Mr.
Overman and Mr.. Swanson would bar the
way.
But are the New York democrats re-
duced to that choice? They have been
for some time out Of power, but should
have men in their ranks measuring up
to the responsibility they have invited,
and upon which, now they have it, SO
much depends.

BRYAN and Boiling.

Senator Johnston of Alabama, who con-
fesses to a great admiration for Mr..
Bryan, hopes the Nebraskan will give the
democracy chance" Gin 1912 That Is
to say, he hopes Mr. Bryan will not Of
fer for another nomination to the presi-
dency. And. speaking further, he ex-
presses the opinion that Mr.. Bryan made
grave mistake" when he bolted Mr..
Dahlman's nomination for governor of
the Blackwater state.
Did Mr. Bryan repudiate that nomina-
ton with full consideration Of what the
act might cost him? If so, he did a
brave thing. He had inveighed against
the boilers Of 1896 with a vehemence Civ
ing new words to the vocabulary. He
had held up to a new degree of scorn the
men who at that time set up their indi-
vidual judgment against that of the party
majority. And yet here he was at last
taking place beside them. and giving
them and others a club for use on his
own head.
And they have been industriously using
the weapon. Some of his friends even
use it. Mr.. Johnston is one. Evidently
he thinks that Mr.. Bryan should have &C
cepted Mr.. Dahlman, liquor influence and
all.
1t is sometimes charged that in repu-
dating the nomination of Mr.. Pahlman
Mr.. Bryan was guilty of ingratitude
That is not true. Mr.. Dahlman had no
vital part in making Mr.. Bryan a power
in politics, either in Nebraska or through
out the country. He was only one-a
very noisy one7of many supporters.
The shoe is on the other foot. Mr..
Bryan made Mr.. Dahlman. The latter
travelled on his attachment for the for
mer. Wherever he went, and especially
in the east, he was pointed out as the
cowboy mayor of Omaha, whose heart
was true to Bryan. His bluff address. his
picturesque costume. would have made no
particular impression disassociated from
his vociferous praise at all times and in
all places of his neighbor of Lincoln.
AT last Mr.. Dahlman pushed matters
too far. He wanted to be governor, and
tried to yoke up Mr.. Bryan with interests
he knew his friend abhorred. His play
seemed to be to secure the nomination
for governor by the aid of the distillers
and brewers. and then control Mr. Bryan
on the score of party regularity-a mat
ter upon which Mr.. Bryan appeared I'M
alterably committed. But he reckoned
i'll. Mr.. Bryan declined to be a yoke
fellow with the distiller. the brewer or
the saloon keeper. and without his aid
Mr.. Dahlnnan could not get there.
Boiling has it's perils, but men of
strong convictions seldom consider them.
A bolter is at present Governor Of Ohio,
and on the eve of second term. An
other is governor-elect of New Jersey.
A third is in the lead in the New York
senatorial contest. Boiling did not end
their careers, and it should not end Mr..
Bryan's.

Success.
From the Duluth Herald.

From the Duluth Herald.
1t wasn't so very many years ago when
the ideals held up before aspiring Amer
lean youth were exemplified by the most
notable cases Of material success. There
is a change in that respect Of recent
years, due partly to the fact that many
of these examples have been proved to
be anything but desirable examples for
youth to follow. and partly to the fact
that there has come over the American
people a strong realization that material
success is not the only kind of success
worth striving for, that material success
does not necessarily bring happiness and
content, that the lives of those who have
sacrificed everything for material success
are usually more bitter than those who
are poor and that, in short. real sue
cess in this world lies not In the rewards
secured. but in the service done to hu-
manity.

The Department Of Agriculture has no

strange, for departments OF agriculture
are not supposed to dabble much in senti-

canzonets, pumpkins more to it's liking
than pantoums. and hogs and hominy
more to it's taste than the tuneful madri-
gal and the blithe ballade. Therefore 1t
is not surprising to learn that the Depart
ment of Agriculture has instituted a
crusade against the mistletoe.
