Joseph Joubert. 9 -3 BRYAN'S "VAGARIES." IS .RYAN IS treated by the Repub , Ilcan . press with a - good deal more respect than h,e was for merly. There has been a great i modification of $ opinion9 among . his 'opponents concerning him. j But jv hlle conceding that he ' Is a much :aoier ana 1 more trustworthy man jthan they had thought, they , vaguely hint at unfitness. Thus, for example, jthe Indianapolis Star, thai speaks j very. respectfully and admiringly of ;Mr. Bryan, nevertheless aBudes to '.his "vagaries"; -and says that ''his political-philosophy Is now, as It al ways has been, clearly dangerous -end mischievous.". s ?. Why not be specific, and point out jthe "vagaries," and the particulars in which his political philosophy is "dangerous and mischievous. These ape only phrases such as " are com- nionjy employed against all reform ers, all who move earnestly for ben eficial changes in government and society.; They t are the stereotyped jargon or the standpatters for all that is unjust and evil, the parrot like responses of those who always stand still for the things that are. In almost all essential particulars Bryan's" "vagaries" and "dangerous and mischievous philosophy" are the same as Roosevelt's, f But Bryan is far moce consistent and 'logical than Roosevelt. Instead of hurling ser mons at the trusts, he wbVld shut off 'the chief source of the trust's food. Instead of lecturing "male 'faetorg of reatf wealth," and-imposing greater burdens n the people by fining here and !thcre a trtjst, he ' would, on conviction send the guil , ty persona to Jail like poorer crim inals. - He would ; equalize taxation a little by ah income tax. So would .Roosevelt. He .would not allow ab solute monopolies to exist. He would have both federal and state control of railroads, and if this proved af : ter - anir trtB4 Impracticable, - he would, rather than that the railroads ehouldown the government, have the government own the railroads . And so all along the line, Mr. Bry an's philosophy and policies seem to be entirely "sane and safe" for the people. If not for those combinations S OME Republican polltlclana hav lng devised and discussed the' scheme of Inducing some State ment No. 1 members of the legislature to resign, The Journal published that fact, and the, Pendle ton Tribune rose to remark that would be quite honorable for them to do so. The Journal thought oth erwlse, and gave Its redsons; ever since then the Tribune has been as sertlng that it never "advised" any . . - i A Ith. meoiDer 10 resign, uu iui. m Journal, which In Its raving it ac cuRes.of originating the spheme, has misrepresented that paper and its ed Itor, and now it says: Will The Journal Inform its readers, In Justice to the Tribune, that this paper Is In favor of Ail members resigning- be fore the November election who feel In advance tha ther .cannot carry out the will or tne peopier xnai is an u n said at any time, anj! It repeats that It would not be dishonorable for -such members to do ao. It would be dlshon orable to itot do so. Here appears more dlslngenuous- ness and sophistry. '? Why should any member "feel" that he "cannot carry out the will of the people," and .his solemn pledge, when the .very basis and condition of his nomination and election as to Statement 'No, members In particular was rhai he should . "carry, out the will of the peopje," especially in this matter of electing a senator? He knew exactc ly what be was going Into when he sought nomination and election. He was nominated and ' elected on the condition -and the positive pledge that he would "carry out the will of the people," that he would vote for the man receiving the highest vote for senator. What right has he af ter all this to ffeel" that he can't do 'so? What Is causing him to 'feel'-' so? What excuse is there for allowing this "feel" to come upon him. - ' But-after protesting daily for two or three weeks that he never inti mated or suggested that any mem ber should resign, though he did say that it wopld be quite "honorable" to do so, Mr. Geer now says that lf any one feels like becoming a vio lator of his pledge and a traitor to the people who trusted him, ii .would be quite "honorable" to do so, It is futile to attempt any argument with such elusive disingenuous sophistry as this. ;'" Small Change Senator Oore la blind, but he can see mines pon nc Ally. -, a . a - "first payment: nd then, with strict economy and little bad luck, t K a Mat Cm a. . ru mmm ' as.

Fourten trees on a Milton man's place produced 2,510 pounds of first- class prunes. But a town does not get rid of va grants because it warns aome or them out of town. Other towns are doing the same thing, and, as James J. Hill says, when all neighborhoods are doing the same thing, the community receives exactly as much refuse as It gets rid. of. xet when tramr are committed to jail they are generally Idle or arer required to do but little work.

Short sentences are no solution for vagrants. Thirty-six chiefs of police of large cities In the united states were recently asked about the sentences of vagrants.
