MR. BRYAN IN THE WEST
Editorial in tho Portland (Ore.)
Telegram: First of all Mr. Bryan
is a real man that is the fundamen
tal thing about him. He wears be
causo ho is genuine. Ho does not
need a long memory to protect him
iui uu uues not say nore what he is
not willing to say there. He has
been very conspicuously before tho
country for sixteen years. No man
has stood in fiercer limelight and no
man has escaped sp unsullied. There
is nothing inhis public or private
life at which the finger of suspicion
can be pointed. His life has been an
open book. The work which he
undertook in tho heyday of his youth
and enthusiasm he is now follow
ing in the maturity of his powers,
less feverishly indeed but with no
less conviction. His outlook is quite
as optimistic as it ever was, oven
moro so; but it is an optimism based
upon breadth of information and ob
servation to which is applied an illu
mining intelligence. As he grows
older he grows more kindly, although
there was never anything of tho cut
throat about Bryan. The inevitable
things ho accepts. The things ho
can not alter ho does not permit
himself to fret over. He is moving
along the line of least resistance to
ward the goal of his ideals. Over
spreading everything is ' a genial,
glowing humor, very far removed, in
deed, from frivolity. With him
humor is a ineahs to an end, yet
part and parcel of the real stuff he
has to offer. So wide and varied has
been his experience that ho is al
ways at himself. Oratorical situa
tions that would be exceedingly awk
ward for any other man, are serenely
met by Bryan; difficulties are sur
mounted with such ease, grace and
dignity, that tho apparently impos
sible is achieved by the simple turn
of tho wrist, as one might say, leav
ing the auditor suffused with pleas
ure over his mental dexterity.
Bryan is growing older, and while
still in tho vigor of his physical and
mental powers, he is beginning to
show the terrific wear and tear of
the campaigns through which he has
passed, campaigns unequaled for
long-maintained strenuosity in our
whole political history. Ho -has
doubtless long since realized that no
mere position or title is essential to
any man to do his allotted part of
the public work. As president, doubt
less he could push ahead, faster than
they are going, some of the reforms
for which he is fighting "and which
other men not allied to him in party
are putting forth their most strenu
ous effort to secure. But he has'
made himself a sort of tribune to the
people, a tremendous force and fac
tor always to be reckoned with; a
clear-eyed, undismayed and un
daunted moral and ethical force
which is constantly stirring the con
sciences and stimulating the thought
of tho men and women of these
United States. With the spectacle
of the southern representatives of his
party in congress before him, with
tho democratic machines scattered
over the country, he doubtless suffers
no delusions that there is inherent
in the democratic organization, as
such, any divine attributes that have
been withheld from other political
organizations. But in the present
state of governmental evolution, the
anchorage of a national party is
essential to a man in natinnni nr.n.
tics, however far short of his ideals
or .even reasonable expectations it
may fall. Rather, we think, in his
heart in his alliance with one of tho
two great natural l)arty subdivisions
which Jefferson pointed out, the
aristocratic party and the demo
cratic, his most hearty and heartfelt
fealty being with the latter part thus
broadly described rather than with
the democratic party as it is at
present constituted in the United
States.
respect for1 Bryan, tho man, deep
ened even though his regard for tho
democratic party was no greater
than it had been before he heard tho
talk.

But it would be a mistake to think
that Bryan, in all the passing years,
has learned nothing about practical
politics; that his political outlook is
solely altruistic, and that he is con
sumed in a contemplation of the
puroiy osmetic and theoretic side of
party politics. This would be both
an untrue and an unjust view of the
matter. But let the older ones of
hiB last night's audience contrast the
style of political speech which Bryan
delivered with tho old-time political
oration, and noto the difference. No
man, no matter what his politics
cam away smarting and fuming. No
neighbor of opposing politics could
dig him in the ribs and in no i i
because of his discomfiture. Every
body, oven the newspapers of a cer
tain Hiump, came in. ror something
and nobody could mistake that medi
cine was tho doctor's prescription.

of the chief steel concerns of tho
United States are held by an expert
employed by the house steel trust in
vestigating committee to havo been
effective factors in controlling the
steel trade. The report was mado
by Farquhar T. McRae, accountant
employed by th committee.
The section of the report dealing
with the "Gary dinners," where in
dependent as well as corporation
steel men assembled to discuss con
ditions in tho trade, contains an
analysis of tho legal effect of tho
"golden rule" policy, prepared by
Anthony J. Ernest; a New York
lawyer, in which it is declared that
the "conventions agreed to and en
forced would be objectionable as re
gards their effect upon competition."
"Tho Gary dinner arrangement,"
