Is a willingness to hear real argument in America, and that no cause, however unpopular at the start, can be stopped if it} have merit in it? | Those women from Boston who are making the automo-| bile tour of their state aren't wild women; they are women just like our own mothers, wives or sweethearts. And the very| fact that they are sufficiently interested in a subject to go to} all that fuss to let other people know about it raises a fair presumption that their argument is worthy of careful atten- tion. You don’t always get what you want as soon as you want it; but we'll wager that those New England suffragists will make headway. Bill Lays His Cards on the Table R. BRYAN’S summer lecturing gets him money by in juring no man. There is no compulsion upon anybody to attend a Bryan lecture. He has no corner on the lecture field, as Morgan has on credit or Rockefeller on oil Those go who want to go and pay because they want to pay And the complaint which receives sympathy among the people isn’t that he lectures so much, but that he doesn’t make dates enough. many of the critics of Bryan who are for being “out for the stuff” are themselves r nothing or indifferent to their incomes? n were likg some of his predecessors in the de-| partment of state he wouldn't say a word about finances, but quietly take his own precautions, perhaps by marrying money, perhaps by accepting secret retainers from powerful interests | The frankness with which he lays the facts in his situa tion before the people is most wholesome. It may help to check the growing pressure upon men in office to be extrava- gant, a pressure which undoubtedly is largely responsible for the frequency of grafting. Watch the newspapers which are trying to belittle Bryan and see how many of them are owned or steered by bankers. | All “Friends of the People’’ Now HE colored postmaster in the South who assured a joshing democrat that “there ain’t no administration that | kin change quicker'n I kin” had nothing on the senators of the United States. Since the direct election amendment went into effect, it’s! hard to recognize in these smiling, handshaking, deferential courtiers of the people those haughty statesmen who used to hold themselves so severely aloof Think of the senate finance committee taking a low tariff bill from the house and actually chipping it down some more. Think of such ringsters as Penrose hiking about through Pennsylvania, making speeches at county fairs, stage-man- aged chamber of commerce dinners and even labor conven- tions.
