give his entire time to the business o i secrelarying, instead of devoting
a portion of it to chautauquaiug.
‘
With 12.1XX) silver plunks they would choke that flow of beatific
platitudes. Thev have not explored the depths of that vocal chasm
from whose depths well up those gurgling, gushing notes of tinkling,
metallic harmony.
For a paltrv $12,000 a vear thev would silence that flow of silver
tongued oratory, to bathe in which the patrons of the Chautauqua glad-
ly put up one thousand ami more snnoleons a night.
A vaiu, puerile hope. None but the most unsophisticated would
suggest it. When a fish finds comfort and happiness upon dry land,
then mav there be a possibility, though Jiardly a probability, of stem
ming Bryan's loquacity. As the poet says love is to woman, so is ora
tory to Bryan, and then some. His cross o f gold sjieech gave him the
free silver nomination. The same oratory in later years gave the
nomination to Wilson and in the course o f events that followed Bill
Jennings Bryan became Secretary o f State with a $12,000 salary.
But in accepting that job, which has some responsibility as well
as a salary attached to it, the owner o f that voice did not bargain to
deprive it of exercise necess.irv to keep it in healthy condition. Neither
did he agree uot to augment that miserly salary by judicious use of
that thousaud-dollar a-uight mouth o f his.
Neither is there well established precedent that such a sacrifice
was expected or implied.
Other secretaries have devoted portions of their time toother work.
Even presidents have deserted their posts aud galavanted about the
couutry impressing themselves upon the dear people. In the heat of
campaigns members o f the cabinet have seldom been criticized for
leaviug their posts and taking the stump in the interests of their chiefs.
Eveu in the business world high-salaried tneu have been known
to devote to private interests time for which their employers have pre
sumably paid, and have done it with impunity, without criticism and
without a sacrifice o f the interests of the boss.
But Bryan has a serious fault. He is a Democrat. A Democrat
has no business in office in the first place, but when he does laud,
he is supposed to follow the time honored democratic custom of glue
ing himself to the job. T o do less is a sacrilege, a sign o f a lack of
appreciation.
There is a different moral code for a Democrat than for a Repub
lican. Democrats should not attempt to usurp to themselves, almost
before they have got their seats warm, privileges designed for Repub
licatis only. Such presumption is an unpardonable siti, a heinous
crime.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.

“ It seems tunny that no one does anything about such and!
such a th in g." “ W ouldn’ t it be nice if some one would do so
and so?"
Such expressions as these are frequent. But seldom do you hear
anyone say, “ This is all wrong and I am going to right it,” or " I 'm
going to do thus and so.” W e are ready to lay out work for others, but
seldom do we offer to tackle it ourselves. W e haven’t the time, or we
don’t feel competent for the the job, but we think there should be some
one else to do it— possibly a member of the City Council who is not j
paid for what he is already doing, or some other equally busy man.
And when a thing is done it is nine chances to one that it is done
by a man who hasn’ t a minute to spare while many of those interested
stand idly by.
About 5 per cent o f the people do all the important things that are
done in the world, while the other 95 per cent wonder why the five per
cent doesn’ t do more.
