BRYAN AND BAILEY.

Peoples Right to Rule.

Peoples Right to Rule.
From the Oommouer.
The telegram sent by Senator Bailey to
Gov. CoIquitt purports to withdraw his
resignation. but If it expresses an ''un-
alterable" opinion. it foreshadows his re-
tirement from public life. for the move
ment to which he opposes himself is not
to be stayed by his command.
Senator Bailey is man of extraordi-
nary ability and possesses many elements
of leadership. On most questions he is
right. and when he is right. he is a power
for good. But Senator Bailey cannot by
his fiat convert wrong into right or
right into wrong. He is amenable to the
laws which control Others-laws even
more unalterable than mis- opinion.
If there is to be a clash between Sena-
tor Bailey and the right of the people to
rule. it does not require a prophet to
forcsee that Senator Bailey is going to
get the worst of it,

Desirable Publicity.

In politics "pitiless publicity" is the
great antiseptic- In large public. semi
public, and quasi-public corporations
publicity is necessary and beneficial.
George W. Perkins. in his speech to the
Southern Commercial Congress, took
advanced ground in favor of proper and
complete publicity" for modern indus
triaIism. the industriaIism that needs
power, plenty of room, cooperation, and
public sympathy.
Corporations that look to the govern
ment for privileges or diplomatic aid
should have no secrets from the gov
eminent. Corporations that sell their
securities to thousands of investors,
large and small. should invite confidence
by frank dealing and abovcboard book
keeping.
This conviction as to the wholesome
ness Of publicity is gaining converts
daily. Not many years ago it was a
strange doctrine; to-day it seems con-
scrvative. Another decade and few will
remember that it was ever opposed by
responsible and influential heads OF great
corporations.
