would be needed to disclose the 1(1 eu.
ti'y of the candidate in mind who can

Mr. Bryan's Program.
As currently reported in the pub
lic prints, Mr. Bryan Is telling his
audiences on bis trip through Ne
braska that it is too esrly to make
any choice of preferred presidential
candidates for the democratic 1912
nomination, but that the essential
thing la for democrats of progressive
hue in the various states to get be
hind the progressive democrat who
can most easily capture the delega
tion from that state, and then, after
consultation on the eve of the na
tional convention, center on the pro
gressive candidate who appears to
hsve the most strength In the con
vention. Now, this msy be good politics, and
good advice from the standpoint of
fered, but It Is a complete repudia
tion of the popular choice idea, and a
direct evasion of the letter and spirit
of the presidential preference pri
mary legislation put upon the stat
utes of this and other states by and
with the help of Mr. Bryan and bis
followers. If the Dryan program la
to he carried out by the so-called
progreaaive democrats, of what use
will it be to tske a vote of the demo
cratic rank and file as to presidential
preferences in the various states If
that expression of preference Is to be
disregarded by the convention dele
gates whom they select?
The theory of the presidential
preference primary Is that by simul
taneous vote In all the states the indi
vidual members of each political
party would choose the nominees on
the national tickets exactly the same
s they now choose their nominees
on the state tickets. Mr. Bryan's
program Indicates that, while he has
been an ardent advocate of the presi
dential preference primary, he does
not wish to submit to it, but wants
to continue to play politics Just the
same as they have been played here
tofore with the favorite sons, dark
horses, uninstructed delegations and
political trade agreements that were
supposed to be completely done away
with by the new regime.
Frankly, we are Interested In see
ing how Mr. Bryan's program works
out. It appeals to us as shrewdly
calculated to beat an objectionable
candidate, especially with the help of
the two-thirds rule, more than to
make a particular favored candidate.
It Is the old plan of arraying a large
field against the strong man, which
most usually eventuates in the nom
ination of a dark horse it la the
same plan which paved the way for
Mr. Bryan to talk himself Into his
first nomination In 1896. The Ques
tion Is, Will its resembjsnce to the
1896 democratic alignment stop
there?
The Trouble in, China.
This latest revolution In China Is
not aa anti-foreign war. That is
superficially afiown In the action of
the revolutionary leaders assuring all
foreigners safety and demonstrating
the - assurance -by actual friendly
treatment. The trouble evidently lies
further back and deeper, in the con
tinuation of that unrelenting warfare
for the extinction of the Manchu
dynasty, which has held the throne
in China since 1844. It is the drama
of history repeating Itself the In
evitable conquest of the conquerors
by the race originally subdued. The
Msnchurlan, strong, bold and aggres
sive, came down from the north cen
turies ago, conquered China, and set
up authority over the vast domain
as his trophy of conquest. Gradually,
though, the Chinese has infused bis
blood into the Msnchurlan, Weaken
ing him by the process until today
he clings to the throne by the sheer
est desperation, the Inevitable but a
little w$y off. He no longer has a
land of his own name and it will not
be long until the one he acquired
will pass from bis control.
This explains why it Is mockery to
repine In the name of humanity over
these periodical outbreaks in China
and hope that they may soon cease,
Tbey will go on, as sure aa fate, until
the Manchus have been dethroned.
Aaslmilstton has already performed
the bigger part of the teak of extinc
tion. There Is little pure Manchu
blood left in the empire today. Read
ers may gain the impression from
the dispatches that the present revo
lutionists have things pretty well in
hsnd from the report thst they have
assured foreigners of their safety
from attack and have been able to
make good on their assurances, hold
ing their troops oft the strange people
and their property. They are better
organised than similar Insurrection
ists have been, yet tbey still may not
make great or lasting headway. Their
growing strength Is what must be
the more disconcerting to the old
regime, which Is plainly profoundly
Impressed with the perilous possl
billties.
California's Political Pendulum,
California's political pendulum did
not Just hsppen to swing from one
extreme to the other. The people did
not simply tske a sudden uotlon that
they would like to shift from aa
ultra-conservative to an eltra-radlcal
state. There waa some deep-down.
definite reason for It. And the cor
porations that have, practically ever
since California baa been a state,
dominated its politics, should have
no difficulty in determining that
reason.
It is perfectly proper to regard
California's Incorporation of the
Initiative and referendum, recall and
woman suffrage into Its constitution
as a revolt. The iKsople there have
revolted against the Iron hsnd of
vested Interests and In so doing gone
the limit in the other direction. Even
ten years ago such a trsnsformatlon
would scarcely have been thought
possible, for California not only wss
ruled and bossed by the corporations,
it wss boss ridden by them and wss
too meek and gentle to raise objec
tion. But the corporate masters made
their mistake In, Imagining that they
could go on indefinitely when they
should have known that one day the
people would resist and rebel. Fo
that Is the real explanation. If Cali
fornia has gone to extremes it must
be remembered that It came from
another extreme and the reaction is
Against gross abuse of privilege.
The Medical School Appropriation.
The dismissal by the district court
of Lancaster county of the suit
brought to annul the appropriation
made by the last legislature for hous
ing the medical department of the
state university at Omaha presum
ably puts an end to the efforts of the
obstructionists to block the upbuild
ing of the medical school as a part
of that Institution. It Is possible that
the legal proceedings msy be pursued
further, but those who are responsi
ble for this action' can hardly hope
for better results after having failed
to make a prtma facia case in their
own chosen tribunal.
The fact Is that the attack on the
medical school appropriation has
been entirely unworthy, and upon
grounds which do not appeal to pub
lic sympathy. The public has no
concern with, the rivalry of different
methods of medical education, nor
with Jealousies between the different
schools. If the teaching of medicine
Is a proper function of the state uni
versity, and every one concedes! that
It Is, just as much as the teaching of
law or of electrical engineering, then
what the people of Nebraska want is
the development of the best equipped
and manned medical department, lo
cated where the clinical material and
hospital facilities are most available,
and adhering to the very highest
standards of medical service and pro
fessional ethics.
The Steady Licks Count.
It was the plan of the promoters
of the Men and Religion movement
to have a deluge of matter pertaining
to that movement published In the
October magazines and aa much mat
ter as possible-run in the dally pa
pers. The Continent, commenting on
the partial failure of the magaslne
plan from the church standpoint, ob
serves: Not so much of "religious stuff In the
October Magaslnes and not so much,
either, as the promoters of Men and Re
ligion had predicted! But that signifies
little unless that tha editors of tha mag
aitnes feci fully able to make up their
own tables of contents without extrane
ous suggestions. a a It 'la better to
have a steady growth of religious ma
terial In tha popular prints, such as Is
going on all the while', than any special
splurge In one month's number.
It is scarcely necessary to add that
The Continent is heartily in favor of
the Men and Religion movement.
But that does not prevent it from tak
ing a worldly view of this principle,
which reachea out beyond the lines of
local application. The Men and Re
ligion movement does well to recog
nise the value of publicity as an aid
to its work of evangelisation, but it,
no more than any other sane enter
prise, should build upon the boom
basis. Not the splurge, but the
steady licks, Is what it la counting on
In its own efforts for results. That
Is what will count more, too, in the
help it gets from the public prints.
No serious effort of any kind may
safely depend upon the spasmodic
burst, the Impulsive gust of enthusi
asm for its success or highest achieve
ment The movement under discus
sion was foreslghted enough to pro
vide for the conservation of its re
sources and results. That gives it
character, which some other kindred
enterprises have lacked, but con
servstlon and monthly booms do not
go together.
It Is refreshing now and then for
the reputable secular press that do
so much to help along with moral
and religious reforms to have the
quiet tribute of appreciation mani
fested, as The Continent has done.

Peers for Mr. Bryaia.
SILVin CREEK, Neb., Oct. 1J.-TO the
Editor of The Bee: From certain demo
eretlo sources the word has been given
out that In the present political cam
paign no democrat Is to be permitted to
say a word against Mr. Bryan; that
Just now the business Is to elect the
democratlo ticket and that presidential
affairs, which, of course, always In
clude Mr. Brysn, can be attended to
later on.
But It Is to be observed thst Mr. Bryan
himself. Is permitted still to exercise
his constitutional right of free speech;
no guardian is placed over him, and whlls
no democrat is to bs permitted to oppose
him, he Is left quite free to put In
good licks for himself, a privilege of
which he la not slow to take advantage.
He says he Is a candidate for delegate
to the national convention, and pomp
ounly Informs the democrats that they
can elect him er leave him at home, but
that If they do leave him at home, he
will not stay left, but will be there on
the Job Just the same. 60, therefore. It
seems that tha democrats really have
no choice In the matter. He can swat
them over the head, but they must not
be permitted to strike back. He may
oppose their candidates and try to de
feat and destroy them and then they are
silently to nurse their wounds and show
thslr gratitude for his fatherly chastising
by dutifully electing him te represent
them at their next national convention.
But, if elected, what assurance have
democrats that Mr. Bryan would faith
fully and truly represent them In their
national convention? Mr, Bryan had.
therefore. Insisted that the people should
rule; In season and out of season he had
told the rank and file of the democracy
that their word was law. And yet, last
year, when an overwhelming majority
of them In their cauouaea and conventions,
had declared against putting county op
tion In their state platform, he not only
refuaed to submit to the popular ver
dict, but actually want before the Grand
Island convention and basely did all In
his power to persuade delegates to vio
late their Instructions and play the traitor
to their constituents. When he had Igno
mlnlously failed In his nefarious designs,
he went Into tha field and did his best
to defeat democratic candidate all over
the state. Being now a candidate him
self. Mr. Bryan has deserted his county
option allies of last year and Is nominally
supporting democratlo candidates whom
they oppose.
Is It surprising that the democrat of
the state have generally lost all faith in
Mr. Bryan? I It surprising that thay
have little use for him, either In a na
tional convention or out of It? What
right have democrats to believe that, as
a dslegate to their national convention,
Mr. Bryan would truly represent them?
Will Mr. Bryan condescend to say that
If elected national delegate he would
honestly support for the presidential
nomination that democrat who should
receive the most votes at tha primary
next spring? Will he say that If Judson
Harmon, whom h has heretofore op
posed, should receive the renst votes, that
he, himself, If elected delegate, would
honestly do all In his power to make Mr.
Harmon the democratlo candidate for
president of the United States?
Of course, I am not so vain as' to sup
pose that the great Mr. Bryan will pay
any attention whatever to the ' foregoing
questions. . CHARLES WOCSTBR.

TMrd, that produced by the shifting of the car
riage to make capitals.
An analysis of these divisions, with reference to
the "Smith Premier," discloses:
As to the first (the noise produced by the spacing
mechanism) the Smith Premier is as quiet, if not
more quiet, than any.
As to the second (the noise produced by. the im
pact of the type against the platen) it is less on
the Smith Premier than on any other, because the"
Smith Premier prints with a high speed, light
weight, single type bar, against a platen, firmly
supported in a rigid carriage.
As to the third (that produced by the shifting
of the carriage, or basket, to make capitals)
there is no such noise on the Smith Premier, be
cause it has no shift.
Come into our office or send for our man to go to your of
fice and have a demonstration. You are entitled to knowledge about
thla machine you may have it, too, without danger of repeated
doses until you become sorry you inquired. We don't "harass."

Kins; Ak-Par-Ben's ehow Is over
All the gala days are gone;
Those swell floats, so captivating.
To cold storage have been drawn;
Quite a transformation surely
They were Just au fait, I swan!
Now the King and Queen are resting
From the dutlea of their reign;
Knights and Duchesses and Ladles
Slump to Jones and Smith again!
Those Ambassadors and Pages,
Simple dwellers of the plain.
Mr. Samson's busy counting
Hope his cash account looks fit.
Sayi there's one thing cheers my memory-Let
me tell you ere I quit;
We had titled ones a-plehty
Doncherno, that makes a 11!
