The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1922-02-16

William Jennings Bryan may be
ate from the state of Florida, where
he now has his residence. 1t de-
ponds, Mr.. Bryan states, on whether
or not the people demand his ser
vices. The Star-Mirror hasn't much
doubt that the call will be heard and
be needed. The state of Florida
might do worse. Bryan, IN the Uni
ted States senate, would keep before
the country the fact that there is a
Florida and would probably keep sew
eral other things before the public
mind. He has in reality been the demo-
cratic leader for the past % years
and even though he is getting along
in years and the party has gone
through the motions of putting him
in his political grave several times.
he still has a greater following than
any other democrat. 1t doesn't mat
ter whether he is in the United States
senate, or is functioning as a private
citizen, when the next democratic
national convention convenes, it
Bryan is in good health he will come
pretty near being the dominating
figure 1t looks very much as though
death alone could break the grip of
William Jennings Bryan upon the
democratic party. But who can say
that the party without a William ].
Bryan would have met with any
greater success than it has? There
are few who doubt Bryan's honesty |
of purpose and many of the policies
which he advocated and which seem
ed visionary at the time, are now ac-
copied by both the republican and
democratic parties. Any way, the
democrats should know by this time
that in formulating their plans and 4
selecting their candidates they must
reckon with Bryan. Parker and Cox,
opposed by Bryan, went down to
ignominious defeat, while Woodrow
Wilson, who was made the nominee
through Bryans effort, was twice
elected to the presidency.

This year bids fair to become
known in history as the year OF con-
ferences. There are conferences be-
ing held everywhere and for every
purpose. If anything needs fixing
we call a conference. If any interest
needs advancing we call conference.
If there is any danger conference :
fixes it. Last year we had days and
and weeks given over to certain
things, this year we shall spend our
time in comforting. And conferences
are not bad things. 1t brings people {
together upon a level and means a
mutual exchange Of opinions. Out of
this mutual exchange of opinions {
ideas are born And once a real idea \
is brought into being its potential
ties are inconceivable. Therefore,
let's have a few conferences. 1t will :
relieve the monotony at least.-Cald- c
