BRYAN. THE PERENNIAL.

Politicians Mt tho national capital arc said
to be worried over the wonderful and uncx-
pected comeback" of Colonel Bryan in Nebraska
Wonderful It may have been, but we fail TO see
whore the worried politicians gct the idea that
II was unexpected.
American politics OF this generation produced
two amazing characters--one OF them came out
OF Nebraska, the other New York Each was
politically buried mdny. many times. yet each
never failed to show up with a multitude Of ad-
mirors and supporters at his heols--capable .of
debating the policies OF his respective party.
In great many ways Bryan and Roosevelt
represented the poles In politics but In other
ways the two men par. Neither over had 10
stage a comeback. for neither over went any
whore to como back from. Until the moment OF
his death Roosevelt had greater personal fol
lowing than any man American politics has pro-
duccd; and almost altogether because Of his
wonderful courage and udisputcd honesty
More or n demagogue than Roosevelt Bryan
has held his following for much the same reason
More people believe in his honesty and admire
his courage than follow the standards OF any
other man In the democratic party His mis-
takes have been many. hut his honesty and his
courage remain undisputcd So that in mo-
ments OF doubt democrats turn to him and seek
his advice.
Bryan will not be the candidate OF the demo-
cratic party; hut he viii be force to reckon
with in the san Francisco convention. He may
not name the candidate write the platform,
hut his following will certainly defeat the forces
that override his advice and attempt to discredn
his leadership For tho impossible Homer Cum
mings to measure swords with William J. Rryan
is for the toad to challenge the mastodon.

lie pointed out the demands made on the do
mestic market by foreign interests, the short
wheat crop in prospect, and in various ways
made his forecast appear plausible.
Does the immediate future hold nothing more
attractive than bread riots? Such riots would
certainly follow speedily the heels OF the
25-cent loaf II seems utterly absurd to think OF
bread going To such price here in the granary
OF the world. II seems more absurd to forecast
bread riots in this land
But we have no hesitation in asserting that
the 25-cent loaf will breed Just that. We do not
think the divine creator and ruler has any such
misery in store for America. We think that be-
fore that stage is reached common sense will
enter the mental processes OF our statesmen
that an embargo against foreign shipments will
be put on the necessaries OF life and the slogan
America for Americans first" will stream from
the capital at Washington, however selfish our
well-fed idoalistic internationalists may deem
such action.
