1t does a Democrat good to get out
and see things for himself once in a
while, particularly if he has not be-
come so hide-bound that he can't op-
en- hisReyelids. Randall has corro-
borated what the Republicans have as
serted since the question became an
issue in politics. namely, that the Fill
ippinos are not yet capable of self
government; consequently, as wet
nurse to the 20 tribes composing the
Philippine Archipelago, the United
States must stay on the job for a few
more years at least. But the Demo-
Gratis desire to abandon the infants,
willing even to leave them on the Jap
anese doorstep if necessary. Some
people will approve that procedure;
others will condemn it as cowardice
and characteristic of a party which
shirks its obligations.

WIN. JENNINGS BRYAN
RAPS WILSON AND COX
He SAYS DEMOCRATIC MASSES HAVE
NO LEADER THEY CAN FOLLOW
PEOPLES WISHES IGNORED.

? Lincoln, Neb.-William Jenning
) Bryan again is emphasizing the fac
that, in the present campaign, he il
a good deal of a free lance, in the cur
rent issue of his CommOner. Mr.. Bry
an, while declaring his continued al
legiance to the Democratic party, lets
it be known that he refuses to be
bound by party ties, under existing
circumstances. Mr.. Bryan maintains
the masses of the Democratic party
are progressive, whenever a line can
! be drawn between the two elements !;
! but right now they have no particular
leader whom they can follow.
Taking rap at President Wilson
and, inferentially, at Governor Cox,
he says:
"The administration presented no
economic issue upon which a division
could be made. Those who spoke for
the President made the Endorsement
of the treaty without reservations the
dOminant-in fact-the only test,
Nothing could be done or said that
could in any way be construed as
reflection upon the administration or
as suggestion of improvement.
"a declaration against universal
compulsory military training was
brushed aside by one of his spokes-
men with the remark that, because
Secretary Baker had recommended il. |
a declaration against it might be con-
strued as a criticism of the President. |
I'VE could not promise to protect
the country from a 500, 100000 a year
because cabinet officer had
followed the instructions of the mill
tary advisers, instead of taking coun-
sci OF the people. We could not make
any adequate declaration against
profiteering, because it might seem to
promise remedies that the adminis-
ration had not employed.
Nothing could be done to encour-
lge progressive Democrats or to sup
ply them with weapons to use against
ne reactionary. Nearly a third Of the
delegates at the Democratic conven-
ION seemed to be interested in moth ,
ng but the liquor question.
AT San Francisco the delegates
Who were willing to trade the consti- c
utlon and the Ten Commandments !
Or glass of beer were just as will !
lg to let Wall street have its wav /
n any and every subject"
But Mr.. Bryan does not despair
dmitting that for the time being the n
roSresslves are paralyzed, he bids C
lem take courage for the future and i,
nter into the fight with vigor for the e
lection of a Congress, be it Demo-
ratlc or Republican, which will car f'
out the wishes Of the people.

HARDING RECOMMENDS PRINT
ING TRADE TO YOUNG MEN

Harry G.. Milliken, in charge of the
printing department in the Worces-
/ ter Boys Trade School, Worcester,
Mass, has written letters to Senator
/ Warren G. Harding. Republican NOM
! inee for President of the United
States, and Governor Cox, Democrat
ic nominee for President of the Unit
ed States, asking them why boys
don't turn towards the skilled and
profitable craft of printing. Both of
the candidates are newspaper men.
They know the case"
Governor Cox has not yet replied to
Mr. Alilliken's letter. Senator Hard
ing's reply reads:
"DearSir-I have your letter point
ing out the increasing difficulty to OBJ
tain young men for apprenticeship
training in the printing business, and
inquiring if 1 would advise a boy of
ambition and intelligence to learn the
trade.
I'm answer / have to say that
would, most unhesitatingly, recon-
mend young men the printing trade,
as it offers to learners many profitable
inducements, not the least of which
is the opportunity to inform oneself.
Many of the great journalists, heads
of printing institutions and other men
of worthwhile note in our civil life /
have begun their careersyin the news /
paper Office. OF course, it is not nee /
essary to refer to Banjamin Franklin, /
who is one of the most conspicuous
examples of the art preservative.
Every truly yours,
"W. G. HARDING"

Mr.. Milliken has been a printer "a
years. He is proud of it. When the
Worcester Boys Trade School closed
last spring for the summer vacation
there were eleven boys well equipped
in the printing department. A larger
class is looked fer this fall at the
