LEADERSHIP

The decline Of representative government and the grow
ing usrpaton of the executive which has been roundly
denounced in congress- is due to the lack Of leadership
congress- which has forced executive interference to
complish definite programs
The of this decline rests in the fact that while
congress is composed of of mediocre ability the pres
dency has been occupied by of commanding executive
ability For the larger portion of the past twenty years,
two dominant personalities have directed affairs Of
men Roosevelt and Wilson While Roosevelt was lacking in
the greater qualities in which Wilson preemnent his
personality, vgor and energy than made up for it.
During their administrations, these two centered the
thoughts of the country the White House Roosevelt
the most vigorous president since the time of Andrew Jack
For six Wilson had leadership other
tive enjoyed in the history of the nation.
During the Taft administration there no legislative
leadership worthy of the name except the nsurgent Repub
can efforts which accomplished nothing There has been
leadership congress since the Republicans secured
troll in 1913 except that of obstruction and denuncation
Leadership than has yet been displayed in
congress- moral earnestness character and prin
cpe and devotion to convictions When these sacrificed
expedency stiffness and politics. it is not leadership
worthy Of the name.
Mr.. Harding who boasted during the campaign that he
superman and who pledged himself not to interfere
with the legislative branch has gone further than of
his by appearing before the senate
by members Of his party in violation of the consu
on But in extenuaton be said that Mr. Harding has
been forced to bun occasions and reluctantly
leadership because congress did nothing but talk
and what little done, bungle
The only fault to be found with Mr. Harding that he has
yet developed the leadership the people have 6
expect from observation-disclosures programs based upon
He has left the party program largely to
and congress is without leadership He has reversed HIM
self in important matters and without deep convc
tions upon great issues.

Bryan and VohUa

William Jennings Bryan has paramount issue, the
enactment and enforcement of blue laws He has launched
crusade to this end in the southern states and begun his
campaign in Florida which he claims his residence
From the south he will extend his campaign throughout the
nation, working through the churches along the lines fol
lowed by the AntSaoon League, coercing politicians and
candidates by threat of church boycotts to restore in all its
gloomy drearness the puritan Sabbath.
II there ever lingering doubt in anyones mind to
whether not Bryan is Democrat, his espousal of
fanasm contrary to all the principles of democracy should
it. Long ago he deserted the political ideals of JEFF
ferson for the psuedosocalism of patenasm and each
he wander further from the path of real democracy
All his various shifting paramount issues" provide free
publicity for the peerless and thrifty exNebraskan and in
popular demand for his lyceum and chautauqua
lectures But he missed his calling He should have been
evangelist where his oratorca abilities personal magnetism
and religious procves would have had full scope instead
of politician trying to regulate humanity.
Bryan made mistake in moving to Florida. He should
have gone Zion City, Illinois, where he would find sin in
the guse of lownecked gowns and short skirts banned
where baseball and brass bands criminal and where
gagged girls sunfowers the sleeves instead of
diamonds their fingers In this delightful modern Garden
of Eden where the demon pokes his head and
everyone has go church, and Sunday movies and joy
rides undreamed Of all the Bryan ideals have been
crystalzed.
In the forthcoming campaign to make the United States
big Zion City, what suitable presidential ticket
could be selected than Bryan and Vovaon the blue law
platform? Rah! for Bryan and Volival
