COMFORT FROM BRYAN.

The Hon. w. j. Bryan. after q
careful survey of mankind from Chi
ma to Peru. concludes tina the re-
publican party is to be defeated thi.
year. He does o predicate this re-
suit entirely upon the democratic wiz
tues. Indeed. he seems to assign that
party a negative ole He asserts
that THE democratic victory will
spring from republican Stupidity"
II seems like n not wholly i'm
practicable theory; but it is subject
to contingencies What is to prevent
the democracy from getting in it's ia
tai work first and forcing on the un-
willing republicans the victory by viz
tue Of democratic stupidity? The
achievements of the democratic party
in the competition of presenting cleo
lions to the other side have been
rather more famous than those of the
republicans. 1t is true that the re-
publicans are so far making a brave
showing: but the democrats have
nearly five months before them to
make good their habitual supremacy.
Still. We would not challenge Mr..
Bryan's prophetic foresight on the
present or prospective aspect of the
political field. The most discouraging
phase as regards prophetic infallibil-
ity is the resemblance to old Oliver
Ditson's weather prophecies, which
acquired a reputation that when they
scheduled fair weather the farmers
would unanimously prepare for rain.
When we recall the former cam
paigns in which Mr.. Bryan had the
elections all o but the counting
this renewed prophecy caused the
Responding republican spirit to take
heart again.

Talks With Men of
National Prominence
At Washington. ID. @.

Former Representative Henry r.
Gibson of Knoxville, Tenn. says he is
glad he resigned from public life when
he did. Capt. Gibson was a member
of the SiXtieth and retired
voluntarily. although his constituents
wanted him to stand for another term.
Il am q republican," said Capt. Glib
son. and am hopeful for the success
of the republican ticket at the polls
this fall. But ] must admit that we
have never had such a situation in our
party as now cronfronts us. 1t is In
deed a spectacle to find President Taft
compelled to take the stump in his
own defense to answer charges made
against him by the ma who was re-
sponsible for his advent into the white
house. At best, such a proceeding a
do u party nc good. The whole
thing is undignified and without paral-
lei in the history of American poll
tics"
Capt. Gibson was asked whether he
believed conditions in the republican
party at the present time presaged the
election Of a democratic president.
THAT is very hard to say" he re-
piled. There is no telling just how
~far-reaching the fight between Presi-
dent Taft and former President
Roosevelt will be. 1t does not ppear
to me that the former president can
support Mr.. Taft. eve II the latter is
nominated. Col. Roosevelt undoubt.
eddy has a large following. and just
what influence he will be able to WELD
with this faction Of the party that is
dissatisfied with the Taft administra-
ton I am unable to estimate. 1t looks
to me that we have got to get together
or a democratic victory in November
is. bound to result"

FOR \ FAIR INVESTIGATION

The l'ui" investigating committee

and many have admitted practices

interests of general business. and de-
structive to that fairness and freedom
