Will MIR. Bryan Give His support to
MIR. Wilson.

The esteemed Boston Transcript
or, at any rate, the bright young
man who composes it's Washington
dispatches ventures into the prog
nosticatory arena with the prediction
that Mr.. Bryan will soon give his
support openly and without reserva-
ton to Governor Woodrow Wilson,
of New Jersey, aspirant for the high
office of President Of the United
States. Mr. bryan, Of course, may
not actually speak out for yet a
while. The convention is still nearly
a year ahead and there remains plen-
ty of time to mediate before ar
ticulating. But the fates, opines the
Transcript, are drawing Mr. Bryan
Wilson-ward, and once he grows
thoroughly convinced that his own
nomination is impossible, even as ali
accident, he win be impelled to name
the New Jersey Progressive az
his second choice.

THE BEsT kIND on AN ARMY.

~The immense standing armies OF
Europe are praised as system be-
cause OF the discipline they give the
youth who are forced to serve In
them and the lessons in obedience
and loyaity that they teach. Ameri-
cans however, have reasons for pre-
ferring their own.
The free school is our standing
army, The discipline its !. soldiers
gain is not in touching caps and
handling guns. Their minds are
drilled more than their feet and it is
a moral discipline we aim to give
them. They should earn obedience,
not to kaiser or king, but to the laws
of nature, and should be taught to
be loyal to the ideals that rule the
republic. Girls as well as boys are
drawn into this. standing army of an
educated democracy, and share its
advantages equally.
The European system of standing
armies, while carrying few inciden-
tai benefits, is by unanimous admis-
sion grevious burden. The Ameri-
can system, faulty though 1t may pc,
is an unmixed blessing. Ours costs
far more-New York city alone
spending $37,0O0,OO0 on schools
this year-but it pays back to us
every dollar with usury. Thus
while the countries of the old world
are praying for the day when their
soldiers may dispense, we are ever
striving to recruit ana increase our
forces
In che cities of continental Eu-
rope there rise the high walls OF
great military barracks, filled with
wasted youth. Our barracks are our
school-houses, on which the wealth
of the land is layished with a free
hand No sight is more significant
than the spectacle of great, hand
some school-house rising in the
poorer disticts of an American city
There il stands for hope and oppor-
tunity, challenging in their strong
hold those inveterate foes of the re
public-ignorance, despair and pow
erty.

DEATH is IN THE HANDS OF
GOD, No. MAN.

Is any person justified in putting
to death sufferer afflicted with APP
Darently hopeless illness? That
question, so often debated, has been
answered in the affirmative in Flor
ida. In the Shaker colony near Kis-
since, Fla, Sadie Marchant lay in
the last stages of disease She suf-
tered sorely and came to fear the
pain more than she did the death.
Her friends believed she had only
Few more days to live, and when she
begged them to put an end to her
sufferings they administered chloro-
form and ended her life. The au-
thorities issued warrant for the
arrest of Egbert Gillette and Eliza
beth Sears. Both promptly con-
fessed that they had administered
the fatal drug. .She plead with us
TO end her life," Gillette explained.
l. Sister Sears and | prayed over the
matter for hours, and the answer
came that it would be right for us
to end the agony of Sister Marchant.
She blessed us as we did so. We feel
that we were doing Gods work.
The simple-m minded Shakers will
find defenders. Perhaps they will
escape punishment, because the deed
was done not in malice, but in mis-
guided kindness. But no person has
the right to judge when another's
time has come The issues of life
and death are in the hands of God,
and the individual who should at
tempt to determine when to end the
life Of human being would be pre-
sumptious indeed. Now and then
some doctor has contended that pa
tients hopelessly iii should have
their sufferings ended; but this idea
is lrelected by the great body OF the
profession, and physicians fight for
their patients to the very gates or
death. If we admit the right OF any
person to put a patient to death, we
open the door to murder.

cured by Mr. Click to make the n.'sl
selection among the 1000 quarter

scribing the conditions, the News re-
marks:

for each person to make the trip to

,cuaMp fu.aRk's OPTIMISM.

Optimism is one of the greatest
qualities possessed by the Hon.
Champ Clark Ii is, what has helped
to make him a congressional hxture
and it surely put him into the
speakers chair.
In view of the successful handling
of public questions by the democratic
house over which he presided and
the encouraging outlook for demo-
cratic success in 1912, his optimism
is sparkling forth brighter than ever.
In an address before his Missouri
friends and neighbQrs the other day
he spoke as follows with reference
ito political conditions in the United
States:
ut is sometimes urged that there
is SO much corruption in politics that
good men are defled by PARTICIPATION
therin. That excuse is not tenable.
In fact, it is prepostefous. TO use
a common expression, it will not
wash. The probabilities are that
there is not a congressional distrtee
in America where there is major
ity of purchasable voters, and that
the unpurchasable voters can control
every one of them if they would only
do their duty.
That these are true words can not
! bedoubted, and in the midst of the
Lorimer affair and the recent vote
buying disgrace in Ohio, it is we'll
that their truth be borne in mind.
The residue of honesty and virtue
and honesty in any American COM
munity always outweighs the vice,
provided the residue can find a true
expression Rarely does any issue
however, present Itself in terms as
simple as merely evil or not evil. 1t
always comes laden with sophistry,
expedieney ana sDecious recommen
dation
1t takes some little effort of the
intelligence to penetrate, these, and
wherever corruption has flourished il
has been becauseBthe voter has MOI
felt the obligations of citizenship
binding enough to cause him to make
the effort.

Prohibition in Maine.

While the anticipated eloseness OF
the voting in Maine was realized
il is to be regretted perhaps that
public opinion on the prohibition
question is now so nicely balanced
that neither side may claim sub
.stantial preponderance. In spite OF
the small majority recorded for one
side or the other the contest is by no
means ended, although there is little
reason to believe that Maine will
long. remain a dry state. The
strong tendency is certainly toward
a license system of some sort for in
comparing Mondays result with the
poll Of the people in 1884 one must
note That the pronibitionists have
lost enormously in strength.
