We can not close, however, with

one who thinks his career is closed
is blind, indeed. Mr. Bryan will
probably never bo president of this
country. With Clay, Webster and
Calhoun, Blaine and Reed, he will
pass beyond with a great and worthy
ambition unrealized. But William J.
Bryan does not need the presidency
to insure him a great place in his

SENATOR ALDKIOH
Thousands will gladly' hear tho
news that Senator Aldrich will not
be a candidate for re-election four
years hence. Perhaps his age be
gins to tell upon him; perhaps he
reads the signs of the times aright.
If so, he must know that the day
has passed when a senator in such
conspicuous, relations with some of
the greatest business, interests can
remain peacefully and comfortably in
Washington. It is the presence of
Senator Aldrich and Speaker Can
non as party leaders which makes it
so hard for Mr. Rocsevelt to con
vince everybody that his is a reform
ed republican party. It is but half
reformed; It is a house divided
against itself, with a process of elimi
nation going on which a few years
hence may have really separated the
patty from its Siamese twin, the pro
tected interests. It is a comforting
reflection for every one who wishes
to see business and politics kept at a
safe distance from one another that
this process of regeneration will go
on. New York Evening Post.

MAY ICEEP MILLIONS HERE
It would seem that there has been
hardly any stronger argument ad-
1 duced in favor of postal savings
banks than these figures, showing
how much money is sent abroad by
alien laborers 6n this continent. Last
year over $17,000,000 went to Austria-Hungary,
and nearly $10,000,
000 to Russia, in postal orders. That
mbney was all earned here, and, of
colirse, the men who earned it had
aright to do what they chose with
it; but it does seem a shame that
the American people, who paid this
money in wages, should be deprived
orthe benefit that would accrue from
its being deposited in American
banks. Undoubtedly the question
will come up before the approaching
session of congress, and such has
been popular education and argu
ment on the subject that it seems
more than likely that the necessary
legislation will be enacted. Wash

A NEW USE FOR CHEESE

ip,vthat tho habit of doing work
through such organizations, nearly
unknown a few years ago, is grow
ing, and as some of those now in ex
istence pass away others will bo like
ly to take their place. That is why
the cost of this method of adminis-
. Ration is now under scrutiny.

A CONCESSION
A certain college president was en
tertaining a freshman at dinner,
when tho conversation ttfrned upon
football. To the student's surprise,
the president displayed a thorough
familiarity with the game, and pro
ceeded to discuss it as earnestly as
though It had been Greek or mathe
matics. Indeed, his treatment of the
topic brought out so many points
that tho freshman had overlooked,
that the youth was moved to remark
to his hostess:
' "Well, this talk with President
Blank has showed me how true it
is wo never meet any one from whom
we can't learn something." Lippin-cott's.
