J. Bryan as the fittest and incom
parably moat "likely" man to receive
the Democratic nomination for presi
dent in 1908, two years before the
convention is to be. held, is one of the
-most interesting and significant ep
isodes of our political history,
i In 1896 Bryan was regarded aa a
1 radical; extreme "conservatives" con
sidered him little less than an anar
chist; he was "unsafe" if hot "insane,"
. dafigcrous and .radically revolution
ary.T Now most of the same men not
only aay that Bryan will do, but is
indeed the very man. If these men
were sincere both then and now, why
-this change? Is it in him, or in
them? What has brought it about?
- It is not in any great degree either
in him or in them. - The events land

public affairs and" the very atmos

transformation in the past eight yeara
aye, in five years. And this has
been brought about, largely if not
chiefly by one man
- Theodore Roosevelt., "."rr.:'.'.

.' Bryan ' has changed, of course, in
the sense of taking a broader, more
comprehensive view of affairs. Ten
.years ago he waa only 36 years old,
in statesmanship a sophomore, aa one
might say. ; He has gained greatly in
. knowledge, and also, no doubt, in
wisdom. What man of active mind,

Avoid becoming much wiser in the

, Doubtless Bryan during this decade
; has also become more "conservative,"
" in a general sense.: He takea a
broader view of things. His blood
hat cooled a little. He understands
humanity ,betterr"But his basic ideas
of government and the best policies
to pursue in conducting" it have, not
materially changed.
It is things rather than men that
have changed, ao that the men take a
new view of the things. Bryan de
clared for restriction and control of
the trusts and the-pnnishment of the
big lawbreakers, and was laughed
and sneered at as a visionary chatter

Bryan proposed long ago to do, if he
were given the power. Bryan has
commended Roosevelt, and we'doubt
not that Roosevelt hat great admira
tion and respect for Bryan. '.
It was probably ""Well for the coun
try, however, that t Bryan waa not
elected in 1896 or in 1900, for aeveral
reasons. First, powerful "interests"
would have endeavored, with more or
less success, to prolong the panic or
precipitate ' another. Second, the
congresses would have been Repub
lican andwoUld have antagonized
Bryan at every point, so thsfhe could
" have accomplished little, while the
congresses, "Roosevelt being horn-
. Inally Republican, and extremely
Topu1ar with the people, were forced
to yield to him to great extent. A
third reaaon has already been stated;
Bryan was not nearly as fit for presi
dent in 1896 or even in 1900 as he
will be in 1908.' .

thing ia the movement of the peplefheen" unknown tofame outside7 the
tnd espeeiilly f the conservatives,
, by th force of disclosures, eruptions,
prosecutions and innovations; au
awakened public conscience, the rapid
and irresistible growth and spread of
the idea that public office la indeed
a public trust, and thedemand Jhajjt
must literally and sacredly be re
garded as such. Beyond and beside
this is the snore specific, and rapidly
growing propaganda of public owner
ship of public utilities, or in lieu-of
that the adequate taxation of the
franchises of public servile corpora
tions. Ten years ago Bryany could
talk himself hoarse in favor of these
prepositions, and .though applauded
the people supposed such innovations
chimerical. Now we ace .them com
ing. Bryan preached that railroads
were public rather than private con
cerns, and was scoffed by men-who are
now rushing to his support. He plead
ed for an income tax, and the con
servatives who held him a Socialist,
at least; are now' shouting for him;
and Roosevelt has gone much far
ther along this line than-Bryan did.
He inveighed against dollar worship
and man degradation, and already a
multimillionaire1 ia looked" upon with
suspicion 4f not aversion, -..r '.
So all aldng the line. It is the pop
ular conception of'- things- that- has
changed, rather than the man. -Or,
more accurately, people have discov
ered, largely through Roosevelt, that
reforma that they knew sho.uld be
brought about can be brought about;
have ascertained not only their griev-'
ances but their power,' if only they
can get men into' office to do their
will. ' : Hence the common opinion
that if . -Jt-iani" Roosevelt, it will be
Bryan. " And as for jthe' ultra con
servatives, they "are beginning to
think that Bryan is not so radical as
Roosevelt. ' -

The packers have been accused of
converting rats into potted ham and
veal into canned chicken, and flavor
ing tiinted meat to change its taste,
not all of which is probably true; but
perhaps some of hem took their cue
from Sam Weller's " confidential
catering friend. :

to pay ita San Francisco policy-hold

Californians accept this, they should

It Is said the dealers who make real
estate their exclusive business are going
to ease away the atrong pressure and
liberal .publicity that are being given
Portland realty by the prevailing cus
tom of making thla line of business
prominent in the news columns of the
dally newspapera.. Portland property
lae been given e vast amount of free
advertising .that haa- done the owners
a world of good in the last year, and
It Is said they have failed to show any
proper spirit of appreciation.
To- the real estate men very largely
nas seen due the publicity obtained.
They Juve been active In Securing out
side buyers, and have been getting good
and Increasing pricea for Portland prop
erty of all. kinds, and by their liberal
policy, and the wllltngnees of the news
papera to give prominence to thla class
of news, real estate hes"been featured
eo etrongly - that everybody has been
turning ia Portland property as a proro-
Islna Investment. ...
By the same token, had the brokerage
agencies snd newspapers made farms,
mining) stocks or timber the .subject of
continual newa and favorable comment
and ahown their advancing values, the
sttentlon ef Investors would have been
diverted to them. .
Dealers am Discussed.
- Discerning real estate dealers are dis
gusted, they say,, with the' Increasing
Indifference and. in many eaaea, a posi
tively supercilious attitude, assumed by
Portland real estate- owners - Bald one
well-known dealer: xt --
"It would ba better for us to get down
to the extremely sellah basis of the
property-owner and work on that .level,
and fight for the best bargain- for our
selves, rather than to continue to try
to do business on a broad and ' liberal
plane with some of these people. What
is the real estate dealer'a vocation? In
Portland It' haa sen principally unceas
ing missionary work to - advance the
welfare of Portland and educate the
buying worl(lto;the. value of Portland
aa a place to live and to invest'.
- "We devote our entire time to this
work. By personal -argument and ex
tensive correspondence the .merits of
Portland property are ceaselessly advo
cated by the real estate man. He doea
practically nothing, else. And 'to what
effect? Well, if he doean't make good
in his srguments, he doesn't make a
dollar. In other words, ha is willing
to stake h.l living on the results be
msy be able to obtain by his personal
work. He Is the only man In the com
munity who Is working all the time for
other people and not getting any pay
unless he make a sale at big profit to
the other fellow.
' Beta little- Cons Ida ratios.
"He Is entitled to more consideration
than he gets, jind . the property-owner
would do well to recognise thla fact.
It haa reached a point Where the reputa
ble and trained real estate dealer, who
understands the art in his business, ta
being- bumped on -every side by some
body who haa been given the privilege
to sell the real eatate that the dealer
has been pushing upward all ,- these
years. When It la published In the
newspapers that there are- large profits
and steady sales in real eatate, every
body wants to take a flyer st selling
something en commission. -
'The regular dealer, who may ' have
secured a contract with an owner only
with ths greatest difficulty, la liable
to find any day that the same contract
has been given to three or four ama
teurs who wsnt to maks a few dollars
onthe atderbutrwho- have no customers
and rarely. If ever, make a aale. There
is snch a thing as ethics and fairness
In the - business .of selling real estate.
The regular dealer who devotes the best
years of his life to advancing the realty
intereets of a community Is entitled to
consideration,"
