If we are to have a Fourth of July
celebration at Columbus this year it
is time a public meeting was called
and the proper committees appointed.
This being presidential year some pro
minent speaker could be procured
without much expense, and this being
power canal year, we ought to make
special efforts to celebrate.
Many people predicted that, this be
ing presidential year, congress would
make no appropriations for public
buildings so as to make a good record j
for economy, and all that, and that
Columbus would fail to receive an ap
propriation for a new post office build
ing. But those people did not know
what an energetic congressman we
possessed in the Hon. J. F. Boyd.
Three cheers for Congressman Boyd.
Postmaster Kramer has received a
' dispatch from Congressman Boyd
' announcing the good news that the
. committee of the House has reported
m favor of an appropriation of 865,
000 for a post office building for Co
lumbiu. That practically means that
we will have a new post office within
a year, for the house will surely con
cur in the action of the committee,
and if the senate changes the bill at
-all, it will be to raise the amount of
the appropriation. The people of Co
' lumbus feel very grateful to Congress-
- rimur Boyd. We is surely proving
r-. himself to be the right man in the
right place.
-' Only a few weeks ago it looked as
'- though the nomination of Bryan by
the democratic convention at Denver
- would practically be unanimous, while
Taft would have a big fight on his
. hands at Chicago to receive the re-
" publican nomination. But conditions
.'- have changed, the tables have turned.
' Bryan will have the fight and Taft
.; .will have the walkaway. Hughes in
New York, LaFollette in Wisconsin,
Cannon in Illinois. Fairbanks in
- Indiana and Knox in Pennsylvania
... all will have hard work just to have
their own states solidly for them.
.-None, of them-have made any gains
.-outside. We firmely believe Taft
" will be nominated on the first formal
ballot
- .."If is an old saying that when an at-
''' torney.has a poor case he puts in his
-.time-in making his argument by
abusing the attorney of the other side..
' Our democratic orators are in about
the same predicament. When they
want to orate at a banquet, or have to
make a-apeecb for campaign purposes,
it is impossible for them to say much
good about their own party. They
" cannot praise their own party record,
so they put in their time in abusing
Theodore Roosevelt It is really
astonishing what terrible crimes, ac
cording to their orators, Mr. Roose
velt has Seen guilty of. These men
forget that the people, irrespective of
party, believe in Roosevelt The
people know that Roosevelt is the
man who brought a new era to the
policies of our country. Roosevelt
has awakened the conscience of the
American people, and has made ms a
better and greater people.
When the presidential campaign of
1908 first opened, Wm. J. .Bryan de-'
dared that he was'a candidate for re
noaiaationif the democratic party
really wanted him for a third time,
but that if somebody else was consid
ered better and stronger,-'he would
cheerfully step aside. But a great
change has now came over Mr. Bryan's
dreams. Now, that another candi
date in the personof Governor John
son of Minnesota, has entered the.
field. Mr. Bryan is making great
aforte to receive the nomination at
Denver. The Omaha World-Herald,
at the personal organ of Mr, Bryan,
is eves abusing Governor Johnson for
preannuagto be a candidate, accusing
him of beine the candidate of the east-1
plutocinawd-nctingin . I
w ...
faith and all that.-MK Bryan 'and
his friends are pursuing the wrong
tactics. There are many honest . and
sincere democrats who are firmly con
vinced of the fact . that Bryan, twice
defeated, cannot oossihlv be 'elected'
now.- These men further reason 'that,
of course, any democrat can carry the
.solid south. Now, if they could put
up a man who would 'also carry .Hew
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Minnesota, they would have a chance
to win. They would ignore the west
entirely. But Mr. Bryan will' not see
it in that way. ".
AS1NINITY VS. REGULARITY.
In his address at Omaha, after hav
ing .received the c indorsement of the
democratic and of the populist, state
convention for the presidency, Mr.
Bryan said:
"Democracy faces the .future with
hope. Our party is united, while the
republican party is divided.
As the republicans usrd one faction of
the democratic party to defeat us
in 1896 we shall return-the compli
ment this year and use one part of the
republican party to defeat the other."
Taking into consideration the per
sonality of the speaker and the time,
place and circumstances under which
it was made, that utterance may be
fitly described as the most asinine in
the history of recent oratory.
If the statement was the candid ex
pression of a sincere belief on his part,
it reveals in the mind of Mr. Bryan a
most childish credulity. If it was a
piece of rhetoric designed to delude
the democratic rank and file into a
further acceptance of his leadership, it
shows an impudent contempt for the
stupidity of his followers and a braaen
disregard of the plainest facts .of the
political situation.
Call it egotism or call it hypocrisy,
it will be equally silly and equally
false.
The democratic party is not united.
It never will be united under Mr.
Bryan. Not only it is divided, but it
is discredited and demoralized. In
some states it has almost ceased to
exist. Even in the south its continued
coherence is due to stagnation rather
than vitality; and should Mr. Bryan
be renominated there will be many
states where it will hardly be worth
while for the party to make a contest
at all.
The republican party, on the other
hand, was never at any time, more
united, more vigorous, more sure of
its purposes and its leaders or more
confident of success. Out of the splen
did traditions of the past republicans
have drawn not only fidelity to party
principles, but a genuine loyalty to
strict party discipline. If they err it
is on the side of blind devotion to party
rather than of division and desertion.
When such leaders as Seward,
Cameron and Chase were defeated by
Lincoln in the Chicago convention of
1860 all factions of the party rallied
to the support of the nominee. The
cry of loyalty was spontaneous:
"Stand by the ticket!" It was a
united republicanism against a divided
democracy, and the result was a
triumph for discipline and regularity.
So it has been ever since. When
the great republican statesmen were
set aside in 1868 for Grant, who had
been a proslavery democrat, they gave
him an unbroken support. In the
long series of contests between Blaine
and his opponents in the party, when
in convention after convention the
favorites were defeated and Hayes,
Garfield and Harrison were nominat
ed, the party discipline was never re
laxed save in one instance, and in
that the defection was so slight that the
change of a few hundred votes in New
York would have elected the. ticket
As it was in the past so it is now.
If Mr. Bryan be nominated the demo
cratic party will be more disordered
and disintegrated than ever, while the
republican candidate, whoever he
may be, will receive the full-vote of
his confident and aspiring party.
It will be a contest between or
ganized political intelligence and dis
organized asininity. New York

MR.JOHNSON'SuIMPERTINENCE.n
The effort of Willis J. Abbot, head
of Mr. Bryan's personal press bureau,
to sneer at as "impertinent" any men
tion of Governor Johnson of Minnesota
as a democratic presidential possibility,
and to describe Mr. Johnson as an "in
terloper," is bad .politics and worse"
taste.
The Hon. John A. Johnson has
risen from the ranks on his merits.
He has won a fair, degree of meterial
prosperity, not by the reckless arts of
a demagogue, but by the constructive
work of a citizen who grows up in and
with his country.
He has political power because'he
has deserved public confidence. How

some of his political ideas, he 'is re

OOOand in 1900 by 800,000. Through

Parker was overwhelmed by 2,500,

lemma. Defeat awaits the party either
way. But it does not seem to realize
that it must tear loose from Bryan
positively before it can hope to com
mand confidence in the national field.
This sundering must inevitably come,
but when or how does not appear at
this time. Perhaps another defeat
will bring it about, but that Bryan
will ever voluntarily let go of the
party, or genuinely support any man.

OPPOSITION TO BRYAN.
The Bryan managers did not under
estimate the importance of-securing
New York's delegates to the Denver
convention. Without them the Ne
braska man may be nominated, but
their loss will certainly shake the con
fidence of his supporters. With
Governor Johnson making a dignified
bid for support, with the powerful
Senator Tillman asking that southern
democrats do not instruct their dele
gates, Delaware firmly lor Gray,
Illinois still inclined to listen to the
doughty Roger Sullivan, Pennsylvania
looking with much favor on Gray,
New England admittedly lukewarm
toward the "peerless" one and now
with New York foot loose to support
whomever it chooses, the outlook for
an easy victory at Denver cannot be
called bright. Signs multiply that the
nomination will not be allowed to go
by default. Anti-Bryan democrats
must regret that they did not show
fight sooner, sorry that they remained
in a comatose state until Mr. Bryan
had corralled all the early delegations.
While in some instances Mr. Bryan
is to be honored for the enemies he
has made, these elements of the party
of Jefferson must be figured into any
estimate of the opposition that the Ne
braskan may expect at Denver

GIRL WAS OTHERWISE ENGAGED.
Father Right in Thinking He Knew
Cause of Her Preoccupation.
For some time the father of the fam
ily had suspected that his girl and the
oung "man of whom he disapproved
on account of his- poetic tendencies
had been riding; downtown together
and uptown together every 'day in 'the
elevated train, says the New York
Press. He hit upon a diabolic plan
for verifying his suspicions.
"Wonderful progress they are mak
ing on the Pennsylvania station," he
said.
The girl looked up dreamily. "Are
they?" she murmured.
"Why, yes," said - the father.
Haven't you noticed It?"
The girl said she hadn't.
"And there is that big building at
the corner of Thirty-somethlng-or-other
street," he went on, "that is going up
lust like magic. It seems hardly no
time since it was only a hole in the
ground; now it is 15 stories high, and
they're ready to put the windows in.
But maybe you haven't noticed that,
either?"
"No," said the girl, softly, "I
haven't"
To test her still further the father
enumerated a dozen other Improve
ments along the line that were bound
to strike any observant' eye. The girl
had been blind to them all. The
father went upstairs to the girl's
mother.
"It's a hopeless case," he groaned.
"She's dead in love."
He told the mother how he knew.
"If she wasn't steeped in love," he
added, "and if she didn't keep her eyes
fastened on somebody that talks non
sense to her every minute, she'd never
have traveled over that road twice a
day for the last three months without
noticing some of the things I pointed
out"
"Maybe she was reading," ventured
the mother.
"Reading!" snorted the father.
"Yes, from the most popular-book on
earth. Call it readlag if' you like. I
wouldn't be surprised to hear of their
engagement to-morrow."
It was well that he -was 'fortified
against all such surprises, -for that
was that he really 'did hear the very
next day. He had meant to storm 'and
stew, still, as there was nothing
against the young man except thV
poetry, and as the girl's heart was set
on him well, what coufd a father do?

Chiefly Understood in This Country In
' Its Application te the Financial

The designation of Black Friday
iS popularly supposed to be restricted
to, a certain day In the .financial his
tory of New York, but in point of fact
it has been applied to a number ct
days at various times in history. As
used in the reoords of stock specula
tion m Wall street, It is applied .to
two days. The first was Friday, Sep
tember 124. 1869, when 'a panic a was!

The .name Black Friday Is also'ap-
piled to" September 19, 1873, when the.
great financial crash in the stock exv
change preceding the panic of that
year occurred. " -
In 'the' financial history of England
May 11, 1866, is designated as Black'
Friday,, as on that day began a dis-
astrous financial panic, which was.
brought about, by the failure of the
firm of OVerend, Gurney ft Co., in'
London, who were afterward tried and
acquitted ot conspiracy to defraud.
In ecclesiastical' history- the Roman,
or Western churchhas frequently des-:
ignited Good Friday as Black Friday.'
as on that day all clerical vestments v
and altar, draperies 'are strictly of
black. The term black-letter days Is
applied to minor holidays and saints'
days whose names appear on calendars-la
black letters instead of red
letters, as .do the high days and holy
days. In 'the English calendar cer-a
tain black-letter days have been re
tained because they mark civil dates
of importance, 'such as Hilary term
and Martinmas summer, or because
they commemorate some public bene
factor. The name Black Monday is given in
English history to Easter Monday,
.April 14,' 1360. when Edward - III.
lay with his host before the city of
Paris, and the weather was so stormy
and bitter-cold that many men died as
v they sat on their herses. The term
was -afterward extended to include all
Easter Mondays, and is so used by
'Snakespeare in "The Mejrchant of
Venice" in the line ""Then it was not
for nothing that my nose fell speed
ing on Black Monday last". Dickers
' refers to the schoolboy custom of re
garding the day for returning to
school after the long vacation as Black
Monday, and an article In Household
Words mentions "the due .observance
of. the ancient institution of Black
'Monday," the eve of which was kepi
on the Saturday nigh't when the
school box was packed. In Irish his
tory the term Black Monday was ap
plied to the day when a number pf
English were slain in a village. near
Dublin la 1209.
'Australia has a Black Thursday in
Its history, the name being given in
the colony of Victoria to Thursday,

mense extent of territory and the heat
was felt far out' at sea, and birds over

conflagration was exceedlpgly great.
Black Saturday was the name given
In Scotland to August 4, 1621, when
the parliament sitting in Edinburgh;
ratified certain articles Introducing
Church of England practices in the
churches of Scotland which were op
posed to the religious convictions of
"the Scbtch Presbyterians. The violent
