THE VOICE OF A STATESMAN

There is no sound reason for disa-
greement among democrats. The
wishes and ambitions of individuals
have not feathers weight compared
with the interests of the party and
It's bright prospects. There are no
present vital national questions on
which all democrats do not substan-
TALLY agree, and we shall not attract
the confidence of the country by let
ting such differences as there may be
about other matters mar the party
harmony.-Judson Harmon at Omaha.
Reproducing in its columns this pa
triotic and statesmanlike utterance,
the New York World comments there
on as follows:
The democrats OF the country are
united on the general issue of tariff
revision They are united, with rare
exceptions, on specific measures of
tariff reduction as passed by the dem
ocratic house.
They are united against trust mo-
nopoly and for trade regulation by
competition.
They are united in favor of an in
come tax and placing a part of the
federal expense burden on wealth.
They are united for the popular
election of United States senators, for
publicity in campaign expenditures
before elections, for less extrava-
gance in government, for relief of the
people from the growing costs of pub
lie administration.
Democrats like Gov. Harmon and
Mr.. Bryan disagree about such in
novations as the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall, but they are agreed
that these have no part in a national
platform.
Not before in twenty years, not
before since Cleveland's last election
to the presidency, has the party been
in such accord on the great public is

FOLLOWING FOOTSTEPS

The esteemed Ocala Banner, with
seeming approval, quotes William
Randolph Hearst's definition of a
democrat: He's a man who loves and
trusts the people, follows reverently
in the footsteps of the great leaders
of the people and continually and
consistently advocates the basic prin-
Ciples Of popular government"
We would call Brother Harris at
tention to the fact that
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth :;
.They must upward still land onward
Who would keep abreast of truth. p"
This footprints on the sands of
time" business will do very well for
mere followers and for those without
"a compass, but a man will never be
& leader who spends his time hunting
footprints. Such a job had better be
turned over to a "houn' dawg."
If we are TO progress any We must
push on beyond the footsteps" The
political lights to which Willie
Hearst points with so much pride, did
not patter around hunting for foot
steps
There were men of present valor,
Stalwart old iconoclasts,
Unconvinced by axe or gibbet,
That all virtue was the past's.'
Let the stand patters" have a mo-
nopoly of the footprints business;
such a word should not be the motto
of a progressive democrat Fort
Meade Leader.
Well, Mr. Bryan ranks as the cham
pion of the progressive" democrats,
and if he ever tramped in any other
direction than defeat, with accumu-
lating disasters, no mention is made
of it. Reaction" of some kind is
imperative, so put US down as ire
dictionary" We want to at least
scent Whit of victory.

HON. w. j. BRYAN

Elected a delegate to the Baltimore
convention, with positive instructions
to use his influence for the nomina-
ton of Hon. Champ Clark of Missod
ri, for the democratic nomination for
president, Mr.. Bryan, in his speech at
Tampa, is reported to have said that
he had nc choice between progress
ives
They ali look alike to me" is the
sly way he is reported TO have ex-
pressed his convictions.
We are somewhat old-fashioned, but
it seems to us that this is singular
way for one to obey the behests Of
ones party, but it is suggested that
Mr.. Bryan himself is a progressive"
and that Mr. Bryan always looks
good to Mr.. Bryan.
A few years ago all will admit that
Mr.. Bryan had deep hold upon the
democratic party He was worship
ped with almost the same alteration
as Abraham Lincoln was by the rank
and file of the republican party; al
most with the same idolatry that the
wings worshipped at the shrine Of
Henry Clay.
If Mr.. Bryan had possessed strength
of character enough to have said to.
the tempter: "Get thee behind me, Sa-
TAM" and had gone over the country
with healing ointment preaching the
doctrine of pacification; advising
democrats to let "bygones be by
gones," holding out the belief pos
sessed by nearly everyone else that
this is a democratic year, and that
the democratic party needs only to
pull itself together to obtain a glo-
rious victory, Mr.. Bryan would occu-
Ply a place in the affections of the
democratic party that no other man
has possessed since the death of
Thomas Jefferson.
Unfortunately Mr.. Bryan has not
had the patriotism to do this. In
stead of doing this he has gone about
the country dragging forth skeleton
from nearly every democratic closet Of
repute; he has dragged forth that old
"scarecrow" of Wall Street, with
which to frighten the timid and ig-
norant members of the party, and is
doing what he can to intensity a feel
ing against such leaders as Harmon
of Ohio and Underwood of Alabama,
with whom at the head of the party
there is a splendid opportunity of vic
tory, for the Interior purpose it is
suggested Of making himself a form
liable figure around which the dissat-
isfied elements of the party may rally
The fact that Mr.. Bryan has per-
mitted himself to accept nomina-
ton at the hands of the democratic
party for the third time is conclus-
i've proof that he is possessed of an
inordinate and Unsuitable ambition.
Mr. Bryan has been honored by
the democratic party more than even
its founder; three times he has ac-
cepted its leadership and led it to de-
feat, and his preachment now is only
that of a disturber, and unless his
hold upon it is broken it is our sol
emn conviction that he will be a more
dangerous incubus to it than Sinbad
the Sailor was to the Old Man of the
Sea.

THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED

Senator Bankhead Of Alabama, il
an interview in Atlanta, has offered
an explanation Gov Wilson'S refus-
al to discuss the tariff and the trusts,
Two things that are going to play such
an important part in the presidential
campaign. There has been . great
deal OF speculation as TO why Gov.
Wilson, in his speeches. has avoid
ed the discussion of them, although
he must know that they occupy very
large part of the attention OF the
people in ali parts of the country.
The explanation that Senator Bank
head offers is that Gov Wilson does
not discuss the tariff because he is
afraid of losing the Pennsylvania del
egation. 1t is we'll known, of course,
that a very big percentage of the
democrats of that state are prOtec-
tionists. Mr. Samuel J. Randall, who
for years represented a Pennsylvania
constituency in congress and was at
one time speaker of the house, was
an out and out protectionist. In the
primaries in Pennsylvania Gov. Will
son secured the delegates, or at least
the great majority of them. If he
should take a firm stand against the
protective system, the system that
breeds trusts and makes the cost of
living high, the Pennsylvania dele
gates might swing away from him in
the Baltimore convention.
And the reason he is so tender with
the trusts is, according to Senator
Bankhead, that New Jersey, the state
of which he is governor, is a trust
holding state. Very many, if not the
majority of the great trusts, operate
under New Jersey, charters, and the
enormous amount of taxes they pay
the state makes the New Jersey peo-
pie very tender with them. We as
sumo that if the people of New Jersey
didn't benefit so greatly from the
trusts they would have insisted long
ago that the state should cease to
give charters to so many of them;
would, in fact, insist upon withdraw
ing those which have been granted.
The question has been asked more
than once why Governor Wilson,
among the reforms that he has been
proposing in New Jersey, hasn't rec
commended legislation removing from
the state the trust stigma that is up
on it. We have never seen an an
swer by Gov. Wilson to this question
Is it because he has no answer to
give?
In his campaign for the nomination
he takes high ground. Therefore he
has no reason for complaint if very
pertinent questions are asked him,
Why is it that he doesn't discuss the
trusts and the tariff? Why hasn't he
used all of his influence to get the
legislature of his state to amend the
states charter laws so that so many
trusts wouldn't be turned loose on
the country? AS far as we know
there is only one other state-Dela-
ware-that has such trust encourag-
ing laws as New Jersey. Gov. Wilson
might be of greater service to the
people generally by attacking these
laws than by devoting so much time
