Brother Charles Nominated.

Undeterred by the unhappy expert
ence of 1924, when the addition o!
Brother Charles" Bryan to the Demo
cratic national ticket unquestionably
proved a handicap to an already over
weighted candidacy, the Nebraska
Democratic Club is now proposing to
put the name of the former governor
of that State before the national con-
vention next June, not for Vice Pres
ident but for the first place on the
ticket. The club, which has just held
a meeting. has passed a resolution to
this effect and is going to seek the IN
struction of the Nebraska delegation
to vote for Bryan for President"
Is the Democratic party going into
battle array next year under the en-
blem Of the black skull cap. which
figured so conspicuously in the pic
torial literature of the fight Of 1924?
Is it going to try to capitalize the
posthumous fame of Brother William,
who thrice headed it's cohorts in pres
idential conflict in successfully greater
defeats?
On this point Brother Charles is non.
committal. When asked regarding the
action of the Nebraska Democratic
Club, he responded with becoming
modesty, II am not an active candi.
late for the nomination for President"
Well said. Brother Charles! That was
the right line to take. indeed the only
line. 1t conforms to the highest ira
ditions relating to the presidency. 1t
preserves the attitude of receptivity
that must be maintained by all who
may aspire, all who have hopes. all
who may be persuaded" to sacrifice
themselves on the altar Of the country.
In saying that he is not an 'active
candidate" for the presidency. Brother
Charles is perhaps little too discreet.
That word "active" has its implica.
tions. Is there such a thing as a
passive candidate?" Gov. Smith of
New York might be so called, but he
has never gone so far as to use that
word 'active" In any pronouncement
on the subject.
Brother Charles is assuredly dry.
He has certain geographical ad-
vantage, coming from the Middle
West and supposedly a sincere friend
Of the farmer. He has the prestige of
well known name. He has been
governor Of the State. He might be
regarded as fair dark horse material.
Perhaps Nebraska has no more favor.
lite son Just at present. and unless the
New York governor runs away with
the convention in the first stage Of
the balloting. favorite sons will have
their opportunity. Stranger things
have happened than that for which
the Nebraska Democratic Club is now
at work.

High Cost of Welcoming.

Washington spent about $4,000 in
welcoming Col Charles A. Lindbergh.
and the event will live long in the
memory Of Washingtonians. not only
because of the spontaneous enthusi-
asm which lifted it far above the or
dinary, but because Of the smooth
ness with which the program was
planned and executed. The $4,000 was
secured through public subscription.
for the most part. and was used to
defray expenses Of erecting stands,
purchasing fireworks. clerical hire,
etc. After it was over the general
opinion was that everybody. including
Col. Lindbergh. had good time and
that the money was well spent.
A few days later New York wei
coined Col. Lindbergh and the noise
Of the welcome was heard around the
world. One of the echoes has just re.
turned. 1t Is a particularly strong
echo. but from this distance sounds
exceedingly like a low, wistful and
painfully drawn-out howl. 1t con-
Germs the $4,000 appropriated by the
city of New York for welcoming the
famous colonel. Some of this items
are enlightening: Diploma for Col
Lndbergh. 5000; hotel bill for Col.
tindbergh and his mother. three days.

power and consumer demands. This
increase In prosperity means greater
purchasing, as well as selling, with
the United States.
The question of simplifying and
standardiZing consular procedure
was raised at the Pan-American Com.
mercial Conference held here last May
and a commission was authorized to
meet later. This committee has been
organized under the auspices of the
Pan-American Union and the call for
its meeting has been sent out, with
the first session set for October 10. 1t
Is hoped that the results may be placed
before the sixth Pan-American confer
ence to be held at Havana next Spring.
Probably the most important Of the
subjects to be discussed at the ap.
preaching conference is the reduction
OF consular fees to service basis,
rather than their use as a means of
revenue or as an indirect method of
increasing tariff duties, which Is the
practice in some countries. The
United States. for instance, charges
only nominal fee for consular visa,
which permits exports Of goods into
this country. A million-dollar cargo
can be entered in the United States
at consular cost of $3.50.

Forgetting What We We're"

0frn sinhf"-I Samuel. rn.f1

when thou tUdst little in thine
oicn sioht."-l Samuel. TU.f7.
One of the finest evidences of true
greatness Is disclosed in the capacity
to remember the day Of small be-
ginnings. All too frequently when
distinctions or honors, wealth or
when we were little in our own sight.
Humility is a virtue that is singularly
rare among us. 1t is conspicuously
true of those who are really great
that they recall with pride the early
days when life was homely and
simple. One of the most dramatic
stories in the Old Testament is that
OF Saul, Who went in search Of his
fathers lost asses and found king.
dom and a crown. He is described
as a man of superb stature, born
commander of men. In him the
prophet Samuel saw great possibili
ties. Under divine leadership he
selected him to be the ruler of a
nation. The early days of his reign
were characterized by real power and
genius, but power and position de-
stroyed his sense of humility, took
from him his sense of dependence
upon God and issued ultimately in
length to fulfill the high purpose of
his great office, he came to be shorn
of his power and his decline was swift
and certain. When Samuel admon-
ished him oncerning his weakness
he declared to him that his fall was
due to his arrogance and conceit, and
to his failure to remember with hu-
mility the day of small things.
His case is by no means unique or
unusual. Nothing is harder to re-
sist than that which comes to us
along with honors and distinctions.
To be able to survive the environ.
ments of luxurious living, to hold
fast to those virtues and qualities Of
character that are the concomitants
of simple living, is an evidence of
real greatness and stability Of char.
