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. ;'"

think you can make a wagon without

full of cheap politicians, who think they

the most childish and superficial no

nor the a-b-c's of either party. Do npt

But a town does not get rid of va
grants because it warns aome or them

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.
