What Bryan Could Do.
It lh n favorite argument of rcpul,.
llcnn lenders, when urulng with pro
gressive republicans, that they should
not desert to the Ilryan htimdnrd be--cause,
even If elected, "Ilryiut couldn't
ciccompllrdi anything." Fortunately,
'republican lenders have to argue not
only with progressive republicans but
Willi those who are called "conservn
tives" or "standpatters." It happens,
at times, that thu argument they
make to the one hind of republicans
completely vitiates the argument
wiado to the other hind.
In a most gratifying manner, for
example, the St. Louis (Hobc-Dcmo-crat,
when summoning Its btand pat
readers to stand pat on Taft, answers
the argument that "Ilryan couldn't
accomplish anything." This is what
'the (llobeI)cmccnit savs, when It ar-
,gues from the viewpoint of those who
are opposed to the Hryan and House
Tclt policies:
It h a mistake to suppose that
the election of a man like Ilryan
would bring no ill effects to the
country. Ills election would prob
ably carry with It a Ilryanltu house
of representatives. It would bu
likely to carry with it several
llryanltc legislatures which would
chooso Hryanlteseuators. The big
republican majority In the senate
WOllld ln riwlni'i'il. mill tin. tint..
members would be of the Ilryauite
order. Moreover, the pressure of
u 1 try unite president and house of
representatives, re-enforced by
.some new senators of the same
stripe, would be likely to weaken
the republican in some spots, for a
Ilryan victory could easily be made
to appear to be a popular mandate
-for rceklets legislation. The
bnly way to keep Ilryan harmless
as to roll up a larger majority
against him in l'.)U8 than was east
against him in 11)00.
What the (Jlohe-Democrat means,
of course, by "reckless legislation," Is
legislation reducing the tariff, un
loosing the claws of monopoly from
the throat of competition, providing
for guaranteed bank deposits, estab
lishing an income tax, taking the
control of the national currency from
Wall street and restoring it to Wash
ington, and carrying out other poli
cies of the Denver platform. The
"ill effects" these reforms would have
on the country the (iIohe-Demucrit
falls to specify, but what It means 1
that such things would be disturbing
to special privilege. Hut that is ex
actly what most people are anxl hi
to accomplishto Jar special priv
Hego loose, so that the rest of us en
get a chance.
The Olobe-Demourat'h argument is
an admission that, with Ilryan elect
ed, it Is eiwlly possible that something
of this sort will be brought about.

that the headdress of the women, worn

headdress on the street for centuries.
It was an established Institution.
Well, It Is going. About one-half of
the womon, some of thorn In good cir
cumstances evidently, wore mantaa on
the streots, but as for the rest well,
a man has no business to write about
women's hats. All that this man can
nay Is that he never saw moro daz

graceful drapery with which the Peru

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe Thinks Them
a Power for Good.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howo, now almost
a nonagenarian, Is still moved by
Ivlng enthusiasm for tho caimo she
has so long supported. To a young
miuuiern wruor who was Introduced
to hor In Hoston last year Mrs. Howe,
after duo exchange of conversation,
said .' "And now, my dear, go homo
and start a little club for women; any
kind of a little club, but make thorn
meet and road and talk. That Is what I
uiu. i cant toll you how many llttlo
clubs I've started In my day." One
can easily reallzo what a godsend to
dull and shut-In lives Mrs. Howe's
clubs may havo boon a half century
ago, whon the outlets to women's
lives woro fower Minn iunv n-,. .
Clubs nowadays, however, are accused
of drawing women away from more
serious and worthy pursuits than they
can furnish thorn.
