HY IS THIS phenomenal ' welcome home to Bryan ' i, '- by a practically united .Democratic party, and in spirit if not in overt act by hundreds of thou , sands of voters not Democrats? -Certainly not because he , was twice a candidate for president, for he was on -both; occasion! tremendously de-feated-according to the official re turns. , Not because he is the greatest statesman . or wisest man that the country has "produced, for only surface-observing enthusiasts . consider kim to be so. Not for any.-s;reat of ficial public service, for except for . two terms in congress years ago he .las never held office. Why, then, do . the people so admire and esteem this ' lAmerican commoner? . ! '', 'J, Stated briefly,' the reasonrare "ht leause Bryan, more than ' any other American, has diagnosed and. de clared. . for, 10 years past, the evils and ills' that afflict the people, and lias proposed certain' more .or less (definite remedies; and because people without - regard : to party have the utmost , confidence in, his; sincerity, his earnest desire to benefit the whole people rather than ' to advance his own,, fortunes, and his unswerving de otion to duty as seen in the light f high ideals. r . On ' some economic details Mr Bryan may have been partly wrong; some of his ideas may not be imme diately practical; he may be some- , what too tenacious under changed conditions of opinions once formed; but in the main he is always right. ' We is headed right, even if he occa sionally gets on the' wrong road for a little distance. And he is unques tionably honest, incorruptible, de-pendahlfrT-true to himself, and so never false to any man. , : " '' ' Is, such a- man in public ' life or great prominence then a rarity? It eems so. People are realising more and more every week that the great ; "aeed- of this country is a politico moral revolution, a regeneration, a setting up of higher standards in .. public lift,: the calling of mcn-tcrthe front who' will be .as honest with and true' to the people who employ and honor them t they would be to ... and -with-their Jriendi jnd .neighbors In private transactions and persons! affairs. Yes, it appears : that such men': are rare.- Nobody doubts that Bryan is such a man. - Hence this uprising to do him honor as he re turns freighted with the additional axperieace' and knowledge- gained in a year's travel in many countries. Bryan puts "the manj above , the Hollar";-he would make , might sub- : servient to right; he would control trusts rigidly and if necessary to pro tect the people would ruthlessly de- atroy monopoly. As no other man who has come into great prominence, he stands, in a Word, for the common people as against all who would de lude or defraud them. And such a man 'will be even better appreciated la 1908 than he is now. THE FREE-SEED CRAFT. rHE SEED dealers." wholesalers and retailers,' are' prtparing I. V a vumuinca CllOrt, in their own'interest, pf course, to have congress put sn end to the free seed graft, and they ought to meet with' success.' Of 120,000,000 package of seeds used annually, .congressmen, they, say, send nut 40,000,000 pack ages, reducing seedsmen's sales by that number. TJiis is not correct, for t large proportion of people to whom -fds' are sent tots, them aside and hen they need seeds go and buy ',tm. v As a means of improving .egctables and grain, if this be the Iject ant it is accomplished to any considerable extent, the ussge is not without its' beneficial and meritorious fiatures; but the "main object,! as -verybody know, is to enable menv rs of congress to influence votes 1 their constituents in jtheir favor rough these paltry little bribes. -jr years ago, when the country iriely Stttkd uxi iVJOjj Afljr. ) t 1: body' knew any "news," the free dis tribution of seeds doubtless had som influence in the senders' .favor, man of the recipients supposing theywerj especially and signally favored by the great' man at. Washington; but in these- dayr very few if any voters are-influenced lit this-wsyr and con gressmen ought to be ashamed of themselves - for: resorting , to such palpable, picayunish and now useless device to get votes. The seeds are bought" by the government by con tract, and probably are on the whole no better thanks A be bought igrlivf cents a package at any :seed store. -HcacB-parhaps as many voters con- aider the gift of seeds an affront as regard it as a favor. It is a petty little " graft, and should , be -cu-out. not so much on account of its' cost ss because of the undisguisable mo tive of 'the givers. - . t ,' v THE MAN "WHOM MILLIONS love." ' W ILLIAM J. 'BRYAN, "whom ' millions love be cause his heart is pure and his soul has not been touched nor tainted with the scars of unearned gold," delivered an address last even ing, in New York which .'strikes the keynote of the great issues which confront the American people. Stand ing forth boldly as the champion of those familiaf but' eternal truths which are the foundation of our lib erties and which afford the sole hope of the perpetuity of Ournation, Mr. Bryan proclaimed anew his. loyal ad herence to the rights of the American people and threw down the gauntlet to the ' allied forces ; of corporate wealth and political corruption. . For two drears Bryan has been trav eling and studying. He returns to his native land with a-mind enriched by keen' observation and ripened thought. , Upon many subjects h.s views have undergone radical change, notably the currency question, which he no logger regards as an issue. Public ownership of railroads' he h learned to regard as ultimately in evitable and his views upon this sub ject will excite universal discussion. But greater than all other issues, says Bryan, is the trust issue, and closely related to it ia the reduction of the tariff, the mother of the trusts. In voicing this belief, he utters the con viction of millions of his countrymen, a belief that will unquestionably prove the great decisive factor in the next national campaign.'-' Already the , flood of criticism is pouring forth from the partisan Re publican press. Bryan is denounced as shallow and superficial, a talker, not a thinker, and a leader whom it will be dangerous for the people to follow, f He Is not a great man," lie is not an orator," cry these critics. What then is. the meaning of the un paralleled enthusiasm, the extraordi nary demonstration which welcomed his return? And what shall be said of the shouting thousands who packed the great hall to . hear him - speak and whose thundered applause gave indorsement to his every utterance? What was the meaning of a welcome such as has never been accorded to another private American citisen? The answer is so plain that it acarce needs expression. - William Bryan loves his xountry with an absolute and whole-souled devotion. The na tion believes in his sincerity and' in his unswerving purpose to do all that in him lies to relieve the ills from which it suffers. If these traits do not constitute greatness, then the American people - must revise its standards. ' Without these 'traits, Washington and Jefferson and Lin coln could never have attained to the place which they hold in history., It is love of country which hss enabled Roosevelt to rise at times above the plane of the mere partisan, a plana to which he has too often fallen. - As was to be expected, the com ment of the New York press, which is largely dominated by Wall street, s for the most part antagonistic. Doubtless, msny readers of Bryan's speech will take exception to some of his views. But the people will recog nize the splendid spirit of patriotism and sincerlfy"which rings through his utterances, and will welcome his plat form and his leadership.' . ' A VICTIM OF GRAFT. B1 EHOLD IN Captain Ormsby a former beneficiary, snd now, . under . a somewhat changed character of government, a victim of graft. Not that he, or others in volved in the Oregon land fraud cases, were chief among the grafting sin ners... Graft permeated the govern ment through) all its departments for many years, and only a few frag ments of it have been cut off as yet It wss so common, so almost uni versal, that most office-holders re garded it at a matter of -course, as a perquisite of office,, and deemed oifice-holding a, "private snap" rather than a public trust." - - " Thus Captain Ormsby, under the ittUj,l,ftt &l i&iPjpiiihvl ia jtfA A Little Out THINGS PRINTED TO READ ' WHILE YOU 4 WAIT.

Just across th perienced friend, Binger Hermann, considered that grafting for himself and son was allowable, or at least could be done with impunity. His office was for the most part a sine cure, given him for past'servkes and favors rendered to a grafter of larger figure and higher degree. He must have known that some of the trans actions he has testified to in which he was engaged were morally wrong, snd a fraud upon "the government, that is, the people; hut if almost everybody in office was grafting ac cording, to his opportunities, why not he? - v : ;'. . But ss it happened a new man succeeded to the helm of the ship of state, there whs a change of methods, snd the exposure came, to the hu miliation and shame of this old man, who had been a brave and faithful soldiery a respected citizen and, except for this official grafting, honest and true, so fsr as appears, with all hjs fellowmen all his life. ' There , were and are many worse grafters than he, many who will never be punished, for some of those who profited' most 'from the land frauds seem destined to go unwhipt of jus tice. Yet such exposures should bear fruit. - '' : ' '. None of the railroads or express companies, though they have had sev eral weeks in which to prepare their reports to the interstate" commerce commission Is ready lodo so, and they will require weeks or perhaps months yet in which to make full reports. Of course they will make ss complicated and. difficult a job as they csn out of it, both to discredit the law and to make the work of the commission' as difficult as possible. If ther couldn't best the Isw, they will try to beat the commission in its efforts to get at the facts. ' The Ohio senstors and Republican representatives in congress insist on being indorsed not "less cordially," as has been proposed, than Roosevelt, by the forthcoming state convention. Little me-too Dick swells up and intimates with a bantam strut thst he must ba indorsed quite as "cordially" as .the president, though what little Dick ever did to deserve any sort of an indorsement it would be difficult to discover. Forakerliae some brains'; Dick is a pesnut.
