The Passing of Bryan
Death of William Jennings Bryan, best buloved and most
hated man in America, bring3 to a close one of the
picturesque and remarkable careers of history. Without
holding public office, save for a brief interval in the cabinet
of President Wilson, he exercised a greater influence upon
the nation than any man of his times. His career was the
more remarkable in that the defeat that overwhelmed his
leadership apparently strengthened it.
Mr. Bryan championed many theories or isms , vitalized
them with his magnetic oratory and then forgot them. The
free-silver craze offered the occasion of his spectacular rise
to power, when his winning oratory and fiery zeal stampeded
a national convention and made him nominee for the presi
dency. Anti-imperialism, public ownership, prohibition and
fundamentalism were other hobbies that he rode suc
cessively. Mr. Bryan was an orator with great oratorical and his
trionic talents, a preacher, an evangelist, rather than a
thinker. He appealed to emotion rather than reason. Of his
courage, stamina and fighting ability there never was any
question. In his later years, he was fired with the bigotry
of the religious crusader and deserted the liberalism which
characterized his early leadership.
Though Mr. Bryan was three times parly nominee and
tried to dictate party nominations, hecould not be classed as
a Democrat, under the definition of the party as given by
Thomas Jefferson, for he deserted nearly every principle of
Democracy and thereby wrecked the party. He was a Populist
or as ia now termed, a Progressive, who believed the govern
ment should go to the aid of the individual through bureau
cracy, rather than in Jefferson's theory of the less govern
ment the better.
Mr. Bryan will live in history as the first great American
who deliberately mixed religion and politics in defiance of
constitutional inhibitions. Flushed with the success of the
Scopes prosecution, he was planning a national crusade to
limit the pursuit of knowledge in the schools as the best
protection of ecclesiastical dogma, and without his inspiration
the effort which would have fanned the fires of fanaticism
the nation over, will probably collapse.
Nome. Now, let's see Helena and
hoc husband and NickUeloney and
Noel w haven't aaked him yet.
You'll do that, won't you, Cyn
thia r
"Indeed I shan't. It's your party,
do It yourself.
"All right. Come over to the
phone booth with ma."
A moment later Ceelle waa as
surlng Noel over the phone that
Cynthia wanted him to come along
on this gorgeous midwinter bat. It
was sure to be loads of fun, and
ho mustn't forget to bring tils
sklls.
'He says no's alt for It, and he'll
meet us on the elx o'clocq train,'
she exclaimed, emerging from tho
booth with her hat slightly over
one ear. "Now for tho shopping.
Heleno Is already at It. '
Thoy bought extravagantly.
Knickers uud beltod sweaters and
caps that mntched them; woo Jen
stockings and scarfs that blended
beautifully with tho rest of their
costuinOH. Cynthia got a short fur
coat make like a Russian blouse,
which was so becoming that she
could not resist It, and a little fur
cap which caused CVcilo promptly
to christen her "JJaby Bunting."
1 uu re the prettiest thing I ever
;aw," she assured Cynthia. "I
don't blame Noel for losing his head
over you. Oh, don't frown at me.
Everybody knows how he's fallen
for you. Now lot's see Is there
anything else that we'll want? We
ffot warm gloves, didn't we? And
skates and moccasins. Then let's
so!"
It was a gay party that met In
the sleeping car of tho six o'clock
Mountain Limited that evoninir.
And Cynthia was the gayest of tho
gay. After nil. why not. take this
means of forgetting her troubles'?
Noel Gardner insisted on dining
alono with her. telling tho others
that she and he had business to
Iiscuss. But tho moment they were
atono he brought up one of the
things that she was trying to for-

Bryan's Public Career
One Most Picturesque
In History of Nation
VUUam Jennings Bryan, pioneer
oxponent of prohibition and leader
In the movement for world peace
and later of "fundamentalism1
was a central figure In American
public life for many years.
Bryan's public career began with
two terms In the house of repre
sontatives. Twice he waa defeated
for senator and three times he
was the unsuccessful democratic
presidential candidate. He was bqc
retary of state In President Wil
son's cabinet two years.
Topic today?" he asked. -
She nodded.
"And what did you do?"
"Sent them a check," she an
swered, slowly. "It seemed the only
thing to do."
Noel muttered something to him
self angrily.
"I heard from them, too," ho
said a moment later. "And made
a persona call on tho editor. I
think you'll find your check wait
ing for you when you get home."
"But how "
"Oh, I have methods of my own.
You should have phoned me at
once when you got tho letter. Why
didn't you, Cynthia?"
' I was afraid of making more
trouble' sho answored honestly.
'You might have known that I
wouldn't do anything rash. But
tell me this. If their predictions
did come true, and you did divorce
Jim and marry me, wouldn't you
be happier than you are now?"
Nobody s asked me to marry
you," sho answered, and left tho
tablo before he could reply.
Tomorrow A Cabin In Uic Woods
Until Wood row Wilson appear
ed on the political horizon, there
was no democratic leader In the
lost decade who had so large a
personal following.
C'ourago tJiiulmllciifced
Bryan's doctrines wore frequent-
1 y otisai I od as u uso und on d his
reasoning murky, but his democ
racy, courage and honesty were
never challenged.
"The Groat Commoner" held
public ownership Imperative whore
competition is Impossible. Bryan
favored a low revenue tariff; free
coinage of silver his first com
paign platform) an income tax; in
dependence for the Philippines;
the eight hour day and other legis
lation favorable to labor; popular
election of senators; publication of
election expenses; the Initiative
and referendum; equal suffrage
for women; national prohibition
and universal peace. He was op
posed to "Imperialism," the para
mount issue of his second cam
paign for president.
Until ho was secretary, of Btato,
Bryan never had a real oppor
tunity to put his policies Into ef
fect, and then with United States
drifting toward war with the cen
tral powers, he quit tho cabinet
June 9, 1915, because he disagreed
with a note President Wilson had
prepared for transmission' to Ger
many. He disapproved of its harsh
ness.
Thirty Trcalics Made
As secrotary of state he had ne
gotiated thirty treaties with foreign
nations representing three-quarters
of the population of the earth, pro
viding for thorough Investigation
of all disputes prior to declara
tlona of war.
BryaJi held the policy of pre
paredness as a preventative of war
was . false philosophy which had
"converted Europe into a slaughter
house." Ha said there were two ays
terns the old. based upon brute
force, and the new based upon in
vestigation and medlution of inter
national disputes.
Bryan first attracted attention
by an address on the tariff in the
house of representatives in 1893. In
his second term he was a con
spicuous figure on tho minority
side when he began to pay heed
to (monetary legislation and the
free coinoge of silver.
llise To Fame
In 189C Bryan eat at the report
ers table at tho national republican
convention at St. Louis which nom
inatcd William McKinley.
July of the same year found him
a dolegate-at-litrge from Nebraska
to the national democratic couven
tion at Chicago, practically un
known as a political leader.
Near tho close of the debate of
tho gold standmdists versus tho
free silver men Bryan, In a not
able burst of eloquence, stampeded
the convention and obtained the
nomination for president and a
leadership in the party which en
dured for many yearn.
His campaign against McKinley
was remarkable. Bryan traveled
18,000 miles In one hundred days
and made 000 speeches. Free eil
vor vs. tho gold standard and high
protective tariff were the issues of
tho campaign, which gave rise to
tho famous republican war cry:
"Sixteen to One full dinner pail."
Following the republican victory
Bryan lectured widely on "Bime
laHsm." Ho became a favorite on
the Chautauqua platform. In 189S
he raised a regiment of volunteers
for service In the Spanish-American
war, having been commission
ed a colonel. The regiment got no
farther than Florida.
Second Campaign
He waa nominated for president
by the de moo rata at Kansas City,
in 1900. "Imperialism and free
silver" were the party policies, but
for the second time Bryan fell bo
fore William McKinley. ,
After the campaign ha establish
ed the political newspaper "The
Commoner" at Lincoln, Neb.
In 1904 Bryan was again the
central figure m the democratic
convention, but Judge Alton B
Parker, a "gold democrat" was
nominated. Judge Parker suffer
ed Bryan's fnto.
The so-called "Peer loss Leader"
made a trip around the world in
1906 and on his return, in an ad-

The Open Ditch
There was a great celebration held in Salem half a century
ago. when the Division street power ditch was completed and
water used to start the old flour mill. The city granted the
riirht to use the Dower and ditch as a bonus to the company
only requiring the company to keep the ditch fenced with
barbed wire or pickets.
The flour mill rights were recently absorbed by the pulr
nnd nannr mill eomnanv. and as an inducement to secure
f.nother factorv. that would manufacture its' products and
give employment to over 100 persons, the paper company
turned the mill site, water and ditch rights over to the new
factory, which desires the site but not the power or ditch.
If the naner products company chooses to abandon the
water and ditch righls and let them revert to the city, there
seems to be no legal way in which the city can torce tne com
nnnv fo fill in the ditch, any more than they could make
them pave it. Passage of ordinances by cither council or
people would not bind them, as m the original grant, no pro
vision was made for other than fencing the ditch.
A eomnromise agreement has -been offered by which the
rilir will fill iii the ditch, without expense to the property
owners, provided time is given, the company agreeing to
cooperate in the expense of hauling, uut otner resiueius
demand that the filling be made nt once-free of cost to
property owners, so that paving can be done at once.
it nr. th..v iroimr to accomplish this? Unless there is
a willingness to compromise the city may lose the factory
and still have the open ditch and tne properly owners nave
to pay for the filling. Having waited 50 years a few months
more is not going to make much difference one way or the
other, and what the city is interested in, is more payrolls.
With the passing in rapid succession of I.aF'ollette and
Bryan, master agitators of discord, the nation seems to be
in for a little political rest.
