3ILLY ACT AND SILLY INSPIRED STORY
OR WHICH THER. IS NO POSSIHLE EXCUSE
Hut one uewspa.. in the slate of Oklahoma has
id avored, ill any i aimer, to defend the action of
tovernor Haskell j.. stopping the suit against the
'rairie Oil company, a child of the Standard 0:1
ompauy, which Attorney General Wast inaiigura--
d in the courts, ar. that newspaper is generally
r'puted to be inspire, or owned by Sir. Haskell.
The fact that no other Democratic paper in tho
tie has made an endeavor to defend the stand
ken by Governor Haskell, and which act has star-
ted the oil district, of the state, seems to indi-
te that the general public, as well as the press, is
i(.'listed with one C. N. Haskell because he seems
be protecting the oil company in its endeavor to
ilate the laws of Oklahoma.
The inspired defence is in the Muskogee Tribune,

; making the order to stay court proceedings.

Mr. Bryan has visited England, and
Judge Taft * has not; but Taft's
around work is of the kind that comes
well within the range of British exper-
ience and judgment:
The London writer of political news
in the "North American Review" for
August, says that Mr. Bryan left Eng-
land "vory well pleased with his recep-
but that the Impression he left

The date of Mr. Haskell's nrxt journey from

not announced, but it is understood Lieutenant Gov-
ernor Bellamy will be on hand to take eare of the

democrats of the state elected one man who cjivc?

Inventors are working hard to produce an auto
mobile which can be started without using the I
crank at the front ol the hood. They will probab-
ly eventually succeed although we shall doubtles
always hear of the occasional crank behind the steel
ing wheel.
Mr. Bryan personally, they rate his men-
tal oapac'.les rather low, are wholly
•uk« ptieal of his powers of statesmanship,
regard him pre-eminently as a talker,
and cannot find any reason to suspect
that li.- poss' :-.s'es any hidden gift tor
tin- work of administration." Tills
writer does not say so, but it Is easy
to understand that the record of Jud>?c i
Tatt'.s public work places him in the
same diss, in English estimation, with
i i Curzon, Lord Cromer and Lord
Mllner, These men have all proved
themselves to he great administrators.
Thoy represent both of the great Eng-
lish parties, but there is a common
pri'l" among all Englishmen in their ad-
ministrative capacity.
What Is true there Is true hero In -e-
ape.-t to this question of ability to con-
duet public ;iff;iirs. It is something that
cannot be presupposed of any man. A
man must go through the actual test
before it can be known that he is rjual-
iflod to do such work well. English
opinion does not count in our elections
one way or the other, but the ranoni
of sound political judgment are the gam..'
hi nil countries. if it were a <iuestion
of a Chautauqua lecture we should con-
ceth' that Mr. Bryan was the better man

where.
DENATURED BRYAN—
le HE A SAFE MAN?
In pur*uan«*e of the onerous labor ot
showing that Mr. Bryan is at this time
af« and sane, whereas once hs Was all
things dangerous and distraught, it is
•herowdly oalculated as necessary to ac-
cept the hypothesis mat he Is an entirely
different Bryan from the Bryan of the
day before yeaterduy, or, at any rate,
from the Bryan that carries any attain-
der of demagogy or Ignorance. Th« un-
dertaking is not a light one. for in ordi-
nary affairs of life we estimate what a
man is by what lie has done and require
some evidence other than our own de-
sires and hope before concluding that a
nian of mature yeurs is everything today
that a brief time ago he was not. The
urgent necessity for the demonstration
i:i a denatured Bryan sufficiently ap-
pears from this utterance of the Bed-
ford Democrat:
The Indianapolis Star ironicaly says
that the support of business men, bank-
ers and railroad officials of a man for
president is sufficient to brand that man
as unfit for that particular office. That
is not the point at all. The thing that
looks suspicious Is why should "busi-
ness men, bankers and railroad officials"
who were democrats all their lives up
to 1896, and doing all they could f" r
their party's cause, support the repub-
lican nominee then and since. There
must have been some selfish feature
about this support, don't you think?
There must have been some financial
side issue that the common run of hu-
manity were not expected to Bee through.
With men at the heads of great cor-
porations. whose sole aim In life is the
accumulation of dollars, the question of
party politics is of no moment. The rank
and file can he depended on "whooping
her up" while the rich men can rest
easy and rake in the wealth that comes
to them through special legislation.
It Is manifestly hopeless to reason
with one who supposes that the con-
scientious zeal which men of sense and
substance rallied to defend the world's
standard of money in 1896 is only ex-
plainable on the hypothesis that they
were actuated by corrupt motives
we here encounter a partisan preposses-
sion or a fixed idea as impervious to ar-
gumentative treatment as is Mr. Bry-
an's interesting and Ingenious theory
that the election of 1896 was feloniously
bought.
The Bedford paper's mental situation
Is accurately reectlve of a multitudi-
nous democratic mystification—the in-
ability to see why any one should 1is-
trust so amiable a Christian gentleman
as Mr. Bryan merely because he said
that a free colnnge enactment by the
American congress would Instantly rai?
the price of silver In all the markets
of the world from 60 cents to $1.2!<
an ounce, or that a man could not b.^ a
democrat unless he believe In the initia-
tive and referendum, or that the only
way to control the railroads is for th'1
federal government to own the trunk
lines and the states own the local lln"s,
or that one should vote for Bryan be-
cause, under the republican party, the
poor school teacher docs not receive ah
munificent ri innueration as the unspeak-
a'ble trust magnate.
That Mr. Bryan is no longer Bryan,
but some deeply learned and superhu-
manly prudent reincarnation of George
Washington. Benjamin Franklin and
John Marshall Is the pleasing intellect-
ual stunt asked of a people that have
watched his curious mind at its un-
remitting exhalations these twelve years
and who are probably wise and stead-
fast onough to ratify the act by which
they committed the care of the govern*
ment to William McKinley and Theo-
dore Boosevelt.
It would powerfully tend to realize the
dream that Bryan is no longer Bryan
If he would, by some word or sign, in-
dicate that he understood now the in-
expressible folly and mischief of some
one thing that he has urge.l so reck-
lessly and oracularly since he heram..

States.

My own ideas were rather dim,
And that Is why I went to him.
When his attention I had gained
The situation I explained.
I took my time and told him all
That I could possibly recall.
I asked him, humbly as might be,
What he would do if he were me.
I said I would be satisfied
With anything he might decide.
He listened till I got quite through
And then he said what he would do.
He said just what he had to say
In quite a final, cocksure way.
I thanked him, as was only right;
It's always best to be polite.
I did exactly what he said,
Whereby I'm quite a lot ahead.
"Quite wonderful!" you will exclaim.
"Ho asked advi <-and took the same.'*
I did. I paid a good round price,
However, for that good advice.
But If it had been given free
it would not have looked good to me.
