On another page but near enough

from The Sunset magazine para

1T was refreshing to listen to
william Jennings Bryan at the
Dsmocratic national convention.
There may be little he said with
which We agree but 1t least he had
hia ray. He stood before q hostile
convention, spoke his heart, and
while the delegates stolidly voted
against him. he moved the CALLER
les to the one genuine demonstra-
ton in the gathering. When q man
stands his ground in the face of
newspaper ridicule and organized
opposition and breaches the faith
that is in him he commands the ad-
miration and respect of those who
love courage and free expression.
Mr. Bryan represents q dwindling
few in our national life-those who
yet believe in the American right
Of free speech and frank discus
sion. In battling for his principles,
openly and courageously-although
our views may be at variance with
his-Mr. Bryan performs q real and
a much needed service in our poll
tics"
No Third Party.
Now the inference drawn by many
political observers in recent years
has been that some day there
would be q coalition Of progressives
recruited from the Democratic and
Republican parties and amalgamat-
ed In third party. But the infer
ence is far from being realized.
Third parties are futile in the
judgment of both Mr.. Johnson and

MessrsI Bryan and johnson have

But william Jennings Bryan has
eiven his townsfolk something TO
think about this year by his ten
dency to depart from the lines Of
regularity which he has 40 often
boasted. Time was when Bryan
would defy his critics to point to
him a. q bolter from his party. To
day in the Commonef, impelled BY
the force OF = big moral question
like prohibition. he is ready to for
sake colleagues in the Democratic

Die to vote for dry Republicans and

This kind Of tactics has been the

litical independence this year Is
causing comment. He plays close
to the radical movement which is
sweeping the west. He Is heart
and soul in the prohibition fight.

INDEPENDENT
EGYPT SURPRISE
"Complete Reversal Of British
Policy" Comment Some
American Papers.

The reported acceptance OF the Lord
Miner plan for the independence of
Egypt indicates, in the opinion of the
Boston Post Qnd. Dem.) "a complete
reversal of British policy" or, as the
st. Louis Star Gnd.) puts It, "a turn
Ing point" in Great Britain's attitude
toward her colonies. These views,
however, represent an extreme which
Is not reached by the majority of edi-
torial writers, who, while they give
John Bull high praise for what he is
about to do, do not consider that the
Egyptians will be left entirely to
themselves, nor do they believe that
self-govcrnment is yet possible on the
Nile.
That Egypt Is to be independent in
the sense Of full sovereignty is not to
be expected" says the Kansas City
Times Qnd.), but such may be its
final reward, like all countries that
have passed under the British sys-
tenn" and made good
Now 1t is Egypt's turn, and we
may be sure that 1t will be given, I'M
der the new arrangement. all that it
is fitted to have, consistent with world
interests that are of greater impor-
lance than the mere tinsel of Egyp-
tian sovereignty"
The Norfolk Ledger Dispatch Und.
Dem.) takes a similar view, though 1t
thinks that IF the British should sur
render, or even relax, their control"
the former protectorate would soon be
in a sorry condition.
ut has become the fashion to sneer
at the white mans burden as i'm
perialistic and grasping. Neverthe-
less, II this burden were wholly dis
carded. misery for millions would re-
suit"
But the burden will not be dis
carded, the Indianapolis News (Ind.)
declares, for ''the British certainly
will not stand by and see Egypt ex-
plotted by some other European
power, nor is it likely that they will
tolerate another period of misrule
such as threw Egypt into the hands Of
the British" But the Seattle Times
(Ind) is not so certain:
"a flame of revolution Is sweeping
Asia. and Great Britain Is planning to
touch off 'backfire' in northern AZ
RIGA by recognizing the independence
Of Egypt. The expedient to which 1t
has resorted is highly dangerous, both
to itself and to Egypt. The Riverland

A Futile Challenge
New York Tribune.)

-
The anti-suffrage "bitter- enders" in
the Tennessee Legislature have taken
advantage OF the absence OF some sup
porters of suffrage to try to recon-
slider the vote by which the Nineteenth
amendment was approved and to nom
concur in the senate's resolution of
ratification. But this is only futile
face-saving comedy. The trouble with
the action OF the lower house OF the
legislature Is that II concerns reso-
luton which has already passed be-
yond its possession and which 1t Is
impotent to recall Tennessee's certif1-
cate OF ratification has been duly signed
and sent to Washington. 1t has been
made the basis OF Secretary Colby's
proclamation that the Nineteenth
amendment has been adhered to by a
sufficient number OF states. What use
Is It now to the Tennessee ants to ex-
Journal of one house? For that was all
the house OF representatives at Nash
Vile could legitimately do.
Congress instructed Secrtary Seward
in 1886 to ignore attempts to withdraw
approvals of the Fourteenth amendment
given previously by the legislatures OF
New York and Ohio. Necessarily an ap-
proval once given Is final. else the con.
sttution would be subject to perpetual
changes Of opinion on the part Of indi-
vidual states. And II the state assent
has been regularly certified TO as
Tennessee's was. It will be exceedingly
difficult to convince congress or the
supreme court (no such, question has
ever been carried to the supreme
COURT that It Is Just or practical to go
behind the returns.
