WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. t ' ' It is no task at all to realize that the arch-leader of the national democ racy is a strong, clean, wholesome fac tor in the near destinies of the nation; we accord to him the real prestige be has won and maintained, in the life and thought of the people at larse, anl count him as tomtthir.g to be dealt with, a vivid, strenuous, battling entity, of resource and power, and honorable in spiration. But right there we stop. He is mortal, and he dreams dreams, and dreams are of the stuff that beget man ias. He dreamed once of the common commercial level of gold and silver, and never awoke until he wa stranded upon the shores of overwhelming electoral de feat, and actually underwent the sec ond annihilative experience before he abandoned his vagary. And now he i on the pedestal again; the people who believe in him are re.idy to offer him to the American Electorate as the type and hero of the hour and to "t.mrf or fill with him. in that tremendous tet. Once more he dreams; and boldly, de fiantly and tenaciously dee'arej hi vi sion to be the lodestar of s'.iccs for his party. He has said he will bind his future to the doctrine of governmental absorption and control of the railroads of the country. He has set up his own barrier, he has drawn the line of de marcation between statesmanship and philandering and will lose aeain if he jroes to the country on that hypothesis. We waive the question of the riahteous nej or folly of his theory; we "imply claim it to be inopportune, inoper ative and susceptible f,f the fiercest and most relentless opposition possible in commercial America. He is predestined to defeat on such a platform, and it will not require a Roosevelt to do the trick, either! More than eighty churches and build ings devoted to religious activity were destroyed in San Francisco. A fresh mini keep the body fresh. Take in the ideas of the day, drain off tho-e of vesterdav. This world is in reality a huge circus ring and each of us at times has a turn at acting the role of a clown. o Andrew Carnegie's library gifts in the I'nited States last year numbered 21 1 and amounted to over fct.nno.noo. Giraffes and ant-eater each have toneues nearlv two feet in length. In the not distant future, rural mail carrier will make daily trips on auto mobiles, doing away with horses and vehicles. One should enter into new enter-pri-es slowly. It is far better to go forward slowly than to go round and round ever so fast. Last year there were ."W.211 millions matches sold jn Frances, bringing into that nations' treasury, .o.21(5.950, this being a state monopoly. 0 Who pays the fi. Idler at Newport is being demonstrated just now. The sud den activity in Wall street has so drawn upon the ladies' partners that Newport's cotillons are temporarily abandoned. Small wonder the minority stockhold ers of the piilitnan company are getting unusually busy: The company has $27, OOn.Ono of surplus in it coffers, but the lid is on tiL'l.t. THE HABIT IS FIXED. The regatta is a thing of the past. It has added its lustre of success to the long record innuring to this city dur ing the dozen seasons that are gone, and has cemented the rezatta-habit "pon Astoria. This pleasant festival is one of the things she is known by, now, and it will be eagerly looked for each succeeding season. The regatta is a good thing and its recurrence reg ularly is to be encouraged. It contrib utes to the knowledge of the outside world that Astoria is a live and ener getic place and one worth coming to, fop business, or pleasure, or both com bined. It is none too soon to begin thinking up the alluring features of the 1907 water-carnival. The regatta just closed is the more commendable for the reason that the city has been under ex traordinary stress of public contribu tion during 1906 and the big engage ment came with some severity upon the high-spirited citizens who made it possible. According to "latest photographs' Mr. Bryan has lot a lot of hair. As he has grown no whiskers he ought to be a "safe and sane" candidate by this time. - -- cy Bernard Shaw thinks that no Chris tian gentleman will attempt to accum ulate a fortune. Mr. Shaw is still pur suing wealth. Now Princeton is to be purified by the W. C. T. T. crusaders. It is said that even the college yell is to be censored. Oklahoma boasts the youngest wo man ranch owner in this country, though exactly how young is not stated. She is owner and manager of 11,000 acres, comprising the Arrow Heart cattle ranch, and recently leased for ninety-nine years .100,000 acres of oil and mineral lands in the Cocotaw and Chickasaw nations. Opening of the tirst golf links in Rus sia suggests possibilities when the trans lators of the links get to work. One thing: A Russian with ordinary vocab ulary ought to come nearer doing the subject justice when he foozzlcs. Wonder what "foozle" is in Russia, by the way? 0 It is denied that "Al" Adams had anything to do with Sage & Co., the "broker" that failed. It would have been strange if a "policy king" had gone into any game when the players had even the small chance accorded them i .". bucket shop. 0 From an international peace viewpoint that king-kai-i-i-. kissing may augur well but the Herman emperor should be more careful. King Edward may have been eating some of that English canned meat -aid to be recking with deadly germs. 0 "Young Teddy" Roosevelt did not be lieve all the stories "Old Teddy" told about hunting and fishing, so he has gone into the mountains of Colorado for verification. And yet "Young Teddy" was not bom in Missouri. NOTICE TO IMPROVE.
