Many ask, but no one answers the
question, who will succeed to Will
liam Jennings Bryan's influence in the
Democratic party?"
One view held within the party is
expressed by the Asheville Times Gn-
dependent Democratic} thus: THE
memory of Bryan will endure, but the
Bryan wing as a separate unit of the
Democratic party will hardly survive
the loss of it's spokesman and inspira-
ton" On the other hand, the Fort
Wayne Journal-Gazette Dernocratic)
confidently believes, The Democratic
party cannot remain Democratic and
abate its mission to hold the country
a Democratic nation. The notion that
the object of our Government has
ceased to be at all political and has
become entirely business Is dangerous.
That is the philosophy of the Republi-
can party: The living or the dying of
Mr.. Bryan or Of any leader can in no
wise nor to any degree alter the ne
cessities which confront the Demo
cratic party"
There is not even a shadow on the
horizon" in the opinion of the Wheel
ing Intelligencer Republican), that
promises to resolve into an apostle of
the politico-social philosophy that
came to be known as Bryanism. No
really able man in the Nation today
seems either willing or capable to as
sumo the peculiar leadership that Mr..
Bryan left" The Muncie Star Gnde-
pendent Republican, also takes the
view that there is no recognized
leader, and until one appears who can
inspire confidence, the policy of the
party is sure to be one. Of oppor
tunism."

opposing theory, that ''the day of

Probably the Democratic party for
a number Of years will not select as

suggests the Bangor Commercial

likely that 1t will come under a more

radicals to support the third party.

ture, points out what no unframed eye
ever discerns until ii is so directed.
That is the mission of Art-of all the
arts-as is often illustrated by the
story of Turner's retort to the woman n
who protested that she could not see
in a sunset the brilliant colors he
painted.
Don't you wish you could, madam"
Turner replied.

The Appreciation Of Art" is the
title of a most inspiring book by
of art in the University of California.
The author classifies the public, in
relation to art, as follows: The man
who has esteemed art as effeminate:
the man TO whom everything is use
less that cannot be applied to some
practical end; the Puritan, Jealous of
his morals lest sensuous art corrupt,
and the proletarian who has thought
art merely as luxury for the rich.
The author finds that since the World
War all these classes have tended
to overcome their prejudices and to
show greater comprehension Of the
aims and functions of art
The first class is discovering that
painting the essential beauties of
nature, selecting truths and sepa-
rating them from ugly accidents, re-
quires all the brain power of men
Of ability; the Puritan discovers that
art can be clean; the proletarian finds
that what is beautiful is coveted
by the many. hence beauty has a
direct demand in commerce, and to
produce 1t is profitable as well as up.
lifting. Not only from that sordid
consideration does the proletarian
begin to appreciate art, but its in
fluence is becoming better under
stood by the masses as speaking d.
rectly to every one.
The poor, as may be observed
everywhere" says Mr.. Neahaus, "are
not destitute of a sense Of beauty,
as many think. While they may be
compelled. by force of circumstances,
to crafty their taste by modest
means, they offer many convincing
evidences to the observing student
that they possess q love Of color
and of form: and their love of music
needs no comment"
ION the other hand" adds the au.
thor. sin the case Of the rich we can.
not ignore the fact that often wealth
has increased faster than taste.
An the arts become intelligible
basic principles. That training in
the perception of beauty, In rich
and poor alike, is fundamentally a
problem of education becomes evil
dent when one recognizes that dis
cerning appreciation is the result
of awakened desire, of knowledge
Of those principles evolved by long
usage and common understand
ing. Fortunately, all the arts
are dependent for their appeal upon
demonstrable qualities and laws which
may be understood in a great meas
ure by any serious.minded, intelli-
gent person, without the absolute
necessity of technical experience.

Two blunders are common In mis-
judging art: One Is that the man
who declares that, while he Is no
artist, he knows what he likes
as If it were not necessary that his
likes be correct and informed; the
other is the proneness to accept anec-
dote illustrated on canvas as neces-
sarily artistic"
The most popular picture at the
Chicago exposition was breaking

Arkansas paper. Around whom will
it be written during the next 80 years?
There is a question that will puzzle
the most sagacious of political proph-
cts" The Democrat mentions John
w. Davis, James NJ. Cox, William G..
McAdoo and Al Smith as possible sue
ceSsors, but it adds: Davis and Cox
have been defeated. McAdoo never
could poll the East's vote and Al
Smith couldn't win the South's."
IF the Democratic party expects to
live" in the judgment of the Columbia
Record Democratic), 'it must pick up
the flag from the dead hands of the
fallen chieftains and call for soldiers
from all parts of the Nation. A Demo
crat should be a Democrat in the real
sense, regardless of where he comes
from; whether his eyes are brown or
blue; whether he is Jew or a Gen
tile; whether he is a Catholic or a
Protestant; whether he is a teetotaler
or loves a glass of beer. The conclu-
sion needs no proof. Wilson led such
an army to victory. Coolidge led such
a division to the goal, and every fac
tional candidate from John Quincy
Adams to Calvin Coolidge has fallen
by the wayside at least 1000 miles
from the breastworks."
Mr. Bryan's removal declares the
New Orleans Item independent Demo
cratio), will have political implica-
tions within his party, quite apart
from the latest ideas to which he has
devoted his time. The general direc-
ton these will take is obvious. But
we think some time will be required
to measure their extent and effect"
The Charleston, w. Va, Daily Mail
independent Republican, declares:
How much of Mr.. Bryan's thoughts
and ideas win survive the eloquent
tongue that gave them utterance no
man can tell"
Belief that crises create their own
leaders and that America, in emer-
gency, will be found fully as well
equipped as ever" is expressed by the
Grand Rapids Herald independent Re
publican), which, in response to the
query, Where are the Iieutenants?"
replies: Perhaps our first neutenants
are simply waiting for public neces-
sity to uncover them. That would be
the happy philosophy. We are short
on dynamic public leadership in terms
of national expression. And we seem
to be getting shorter all the while. We
need more first lieutenants. Nay,
more-already we need more of them
as captains"
The Philadelphia Bulletin Qnde-
pendent Republican, observes that "a
real leader who could restore some
thing like the national viewpoint
would serve the country and promote
healthy partisan rivalry The New
York Evening Post independently adds
to this that "the Democrat who can
unite the party, who can somehow
fuse Bryanism and Tammanyism, radi-
calism with conservatism, and replace
sectionalism with nationalism, has not
lifted his head above the political
horizon"
