BRYAN'S LATEST ISSUE.

Ifexperience is much Of teacher
it may be safely assumed that VIM.
Jennings Bryan can't be elected presi-
dent. He continues, however, to cut
the widest swath in the democratic
party, making it apparent that NO
other democrat stands much Of q show
without Bryan's support. Therefore
the lucky republicans find solace for
their own wounds received in party
instruction, in Bryan's latest issue,
which doesn't seem popular with his
party. As is we'll known. Bryan is q
total abstainer; he not only doesn't
drink, but he doesn't use the "filthy
weed" But heretofore he has re-
NAMED silent concerning the booze
question regarding it as purely local,
and not q matter of concern for
one engaged in shaping national affairs.
AS q local matter he still treats it,
perhaps, rs he has merely spoken in
favor Of local option in Nebraska.
But democratic papers throughout the
country are taking it up. and that
without much approval. And all this
may hurt the chances Of Bryan ~
being the leader in 1912, but it hurts
the democratic party more, particu-
larly If Bryan cares to maintain that
Leadership. Whatever is Bryan's
hoOtloO, it is difficult to separate it
from democracy. and the lucky re-
publicans are lucky still.-Atchison

The Millions Of Quarts That Are An.

Boston baked beans are known
around the globe. In the city Of BOs.
ton alone about 32.OOO,OOO quarts Of
baked beans are devoured annually, to
say nothing Of the pork that goes with
them and the brown bread that is also
served. There are factories or baker
les which handle nothing but baked
beans from one years end to the other.
One Of the largest Of these, which sup
plies restaurants wholly, bakes 1I.OOO
quarts Of beans a week. Other baker
les also furnish brown bread, while
nearly every bakeshOp that makes
bread. pastry and pies also bakes
beans several times week. There
are bakeries with ovens that will hold
1000 quarts each.
The preparation and baking Of beans
are interesting operations. In estab-
lishments where beans only are baked

great kettles that hold two or three
bushels Of beans, and into these the
beans are put to soak and parboil.

TAFT'S ONE FAULT.

Not only the press AMI the magazines
but private individuals. have already
pronounced their verdict upon the Taft
administration before it is half begun
and are pr"phesying return from
Eliza. Was there ever anything more
ridiculous? For our own part We have
discovered only one defect in the pre-
sident's makeup that We are sure about.
1t may he fatal one. He is a mighty
poor politician; and he suffers particul.
arly in this respect in comparison with
his predecessor who was (and is) q
past master. Taft has NO aptitude for
the personal intricacies of the machine.
As he says himself. he hates the fact
that three or four hours are taken up
every morning ut the White House

collectors and district attorneys and
other appointees. but the claims Of

TAFT'S DIFFICULT POSITION.

President Taft stands between two

He cannot secure legislation by oppos-

THE LIGHT OF PROGRESS.

Whether the insurgents are indebt-
ed to the democratic party for their
"policies" is matter of dispute. Mr..
Bryan very positively asserted during
the last presidential campaign that the
democratic party had contributed to
the cause of reform all that was good.
The contention will be maintained
The Columbus journal. (Columbus, Neb.) 1874-1911, 1910-03-09

while Mr.. Bryan remains the acknowl.
edged head of the democratic organi.
cation.
A matter of some local interest is
involved in the defense offered BY IN
insurgent newspaper that claims to be
acquainted with al shades of politics.
1t had its start in life by being intense
" democratic. 1t came into local
power on the heels of revolt against
prohibition and availed itself of the
opportunities delicately brought into
controversy by Mayor Ssars, who is q
democrat still. This neighbor of the
press is now rambunctious in the bust.
ness Of saving the republican party
from its friends, snd it resents with old
time vigor the association If democra.
tic policies in the purity Of its new life.
Incidentally there is explanation, or
what may pass As such, of Why it
cease.l to uphold the democratic stand
ard.
"In 1892" it is explained, "the de-
mocratic convention called for the
elimination of protection, but in 1894
its congress gave the country a tariff
averaging in its rates but about 10 per
cent less than were those of the Nc.
Kinley tariff: And, in 1896, instead
of sticking to the text on which the
party had achieved power since the
civil war, We find the platform post.
poning the tariff until the money ques-
ton was settled" The point is made
with characteristic perspicuity.
The democratic party, to be sure,
was not in good position, after the act
of 1894, to continue the tariff as . par.
amount issue, but fault is found with
it for avoidance of anoth r fight for the
elimination of protection under the
terms of the national platform Of 1892.
Whatever dislike was felt to the
money question as presented by Mr..
Brysn's party in 1896, the lasting re-
sentiment of this near friend lodged in
the abandonment of the democratic
party Of its hot contention for the eli
mination Of protection. Therefore
speaking Of principle-the movement
terminated for the time being in pre-
sent relations.
The democratic platform Of 1892, it
will he remembered, denounced repnb-
lican protection as a ''fraud-a rob.
berry," and things like that. 1t saw in
the Mckinley law 1.-The eliminating
strocity Of class legislation" and the
party set about. in language, to turn
everything topsyturvy. Such success
resulted. accompanied by high meas.
ure Of distress, that the republican
party was returned to power at the
first opportunity, followed BY period
Of prosperity not yet terminated.
Being u director in the insurgent
combination, having the favor Of the
leaders. and powerful opposition to
Cannonism hack Of it. the time may
not be distant when the Chicago plat
form Of 1892 will be offered for reaffir-
nation in the name Of fearless progress.
