IIRYAN ON MUNSEiT AMALGAMATION Intorvlowod on tho Munsey propo rtion of uniting tho republicans and progressives, Mr. Bryan says: "I havo not considorod such a sugges tion." This remark is as striking as anything in tho brief but highly analytic comment that follows it. If Mr. Bryan believed there was much prospect of a union such as Mr. Mun sey proposes, ho would have con sidered it deeply. But Mr. Bryan knows tho force of tho historical maxim that "revolutions never run backward." Ho knows that tho breuch between tho two wings of what was onco tho republican party is too wide to be bridged by tho MAKE.

Hero is Mr. Bryan's view of tho situation: "It is vory apparent that each wing of the republican party is help less without tho other, and it Is also evident that neither can expect to draw largely from the democratic party. "With Governor Wilson's repeated assertion that his administration will bo distinctly progressive, the chances aro that the democratic party will make large gains from the Roosevelt wing of the republi can party, and if there are any de sertions from tho democratic party they will be from the reactionary ele ment, which is already small, to the Taft wing of tho republican party. This tends to equalize the strength of the republican party and assure a continuance of democratic su premacy." This re shrewd and searching. The meaning, both of republican and pro gressive conditions at the present time, is a continuance of democratic supremacy. Disunited, the republi can party and its insurgent offshoot, democracy. And it is impossible for are too weak to contend against the them to unite. There's the whole thing in a nutBhell. Buffalo (N. Y.) Times. THE WORLD'S MOST WONDER FUL GIRL Dressed in a becoming evening gown of pink and pink satin slippers, with her dark hair arranged in waves down either side of her face and tied low on the back of her neck, with a large bow of black rib bon, Miss Helen Keller, tho young woman who, though blind and deaf and dumb, has acquired the power of speech, talked with reporters at the Hotel Astor. Miss Keller likes to talk, and she sent back gay, crisp answers to the questions, which were repeated to her by Mrs. Macy, better known as Miss Annie M. Sullivan, who for years was Miss Keller's devoted teacher. "There are so many fallacies about the blind," Miss Keller said at the outset of the interview. "They say we can tell colors by the sense of touch, but we can't. I like to imagine colors and talk about them, but my idea of color is difficult to define. It might not mean much to you, but It means a great deal to me. "Red fa mv fa-imti. i i. ... cause it means health and strength' and warmth. Roses all have the same general perfume, and yet there are shades of difference, so that I realize different roses may have different colors. "And tho blind, because they have lost some of their faculties, aro not compensated by a higher develop ment of other fnoiiiHoo na "! sons suppose. The thing that helps them to overcome the loss of sight is tho habit of patience. By prac tice and training we overcome very great obstacles." y Some one asked Miss Keller which she would rather have if she was orTo'r sf6 " ChiCe' her I have found the greatest difflcultv In trying to cultivate my voice t repeat the same sound over a hun dred times and I am never su t L right until somoene telU me i like the Irishman, I feel CI LZ ?oPotninVUth WUh0Ut tlng The conversation was carrfwi in short questions and answer ?

"They think because I am a socialist that I am a Christian Scientist and a vegetarian. "I say no indeed I am not, for I eat meat and I am not a teetotaller either, for I drink beer. When the laugh which tho thought of the little woman in pink drinking beer had aroused subsided, Mrs. Macy said slyly, talking aloud and with her fingers in Miss Keller's hand: "Of course you do; beer and so cialism go together." Some one asked ifMiss Keller would rather be blind and deaf with the great reputation which she has acquired or an unknown person with those senses unimpaired. She re sponded instantly: "Of course I would rather have my sight and hearing, because it would greatly Increase my powers for service." "The world is full of persons who can see and hear," said Mrs. Macy, talking with her fingers in the blind girl's palm, "but who do not see and hear and understand as much as you do with no eyes and ears. Would you rather be one of those?" "Never," came the reply Instantly. "I would rather be blind. One does not like to give up one's Identity," she continued after a second's thought. "The will to do and tho power to think is the life of your life." There was silence for a moment and Miss Keller continued: "That was a very intelligent ques tion. It made me sit up and think." Miss Keller forms her first impres sions of persons by the way they shake hands, but she said that as with persons who can see, she some times had to change her opinion. Persons she first disliked, .she grew to like and vice versa. To show her power of recognition through her fingers Mrs. Macy told of how Miss Keller had recognized a bust of Phillips Brooks, whom sho had known as a child. Feeling the bust long after his death, Miss Keller ex claimed: "This is like my friend, Bishop Brooks." Miss Keller picks out her own clothes and has decided opinions upon matters of dress. "Clothes?" she said, In answer to a question. "Of course, I like them. I'm a girl. Did you ever see one who didn't like clothes?" Miss Keller wilf speak at Mont- Subscribers flfiwrtisiiifl Depf.
