RECRUDESCENCE OF
. . BRYANISM
i
"CUtOM a position of puro dofonso of
their recent labor legislation, Demo
cratic leaders havo suddenly swerved and
actually grasped this rlflo of criticism
aimed at them to uso It na a club on their
opponents. Instead of continuing to
apologlzo for tho railroad wago-lncrcaso
law, thoy havo abruptly decided to boast
of It and uso it as an appeal for tho
"labor vote." Instead of condoning It as
Mr. Wilson does in saying thut "tho sit
uation must never arise again, but It has
arisen," to explain a predicament ho
plainly regretted over had arisen, his fol
lowers now toko the stand that tho wago
increaso law was Just tho opportunity
tho Democratic party had been waiting
for to give labor Its duel
To prove tho vehemence with which
they Intend to stir up or create class
prejudices, thpy go tho longth of an
nounclng a plan to capture Pennsyl
vania's electoral vote through tho co
operation of Its 100,000 railroad men
"working night and day for Wilson."
These wero tho tactics of Bryan, which
failed threo times and will fall nlways.
There are no classes hero to understand
class appeals.
There Is ono thing that "goes" in Eng
land that never "goes" hero. Over there
the lord of the manor (or his cousin, dis
guised as a Radical) can say to a crowd:
"Laborers you aro and laborers you will
remain, and tho best you can do Is to
elect influential men of my class with
Liberal sympathies." They either swal
low that or go in a body into tho Labor
party, which Includes tho Socialists. In
tho Labor party here, calling itself tho
Socialist party, thero aro hardly any la
borers. The Socialists in America aro
nearly all highly educated and leisurely
men and women engaged In tho arts and
in literature, sliding occasionally Into
gentlemanly phllosophto anarchism. They
are tho very people whoso habit of mind
makes them sco class distinctions that do
not exist, because- they aro entirely out
of dally touch with Industrial workers.
Bryan thought ho could perform tho
feat of coalescing theso Idealists with tho
men who worked with their hands. Ho
thought ho could infuso Socialism under
another namo into tho ranks ot tho work
ers and draw a sharp class lino. He, too,
talked of carrying Pennsylvania becauso
of Its great Industrial clectorato "work
ing night and day" for him. ' Wilson saw
the mistake of tho Commoner. Ho onco
know that labor did not want to bo
labeled as a mass of Insurgent servants
patronized by highbrow idealists, de
prived of oil interest In various national
Issues and restricted to tho ono issue of
"Wo want moro pay.' Ho knew thero
could not permanently bo a Labor party
because in America thero aro so many
thousands of men constantly leaving the
workshop for tho offlce, so many fathers
In tho workshop with sons in tho ofllco,
bo many fathers In tho ofllco with sons
In the workshop, so little chanco for class
spirit.
How desperate, then, must bo tho Wil
son campaign manager when ho takes
up Bryan's broken weapon and goes after
tho labor vote! He suddonly forgets the
lesson of Bryan and tells labor not to
consider Mexico, but only the wage-In
crease law; not to consider tho tariff, but
only the wago-lncrcaso law. Tho swerve
in policy becomes moro sinister when wo
turn to New York. Thero 800,000 men
are stirred to a temporary revolt And
they, too, are to forget all other issues
and think only, of tho wago-lncrcaso law.
They want more pay, and hero Is tho way
to get It.
Why not. Indeed, an act of Congress
fixing the wages of all engaged In Inter
state commerce that Is, everybody? If
that Is not the lure to the unintelligent
in centering attention on tho railway
wage law, what Is it?

There's just one most Important thing of
which 1 wish to speak;
An' tchlle upon the circumstance I sit me
down to brood
Tho heart within mo swetts an' sings,

That after ouf experience not one of us

For Mother started In tho tceck by lytng

An' when that great calamity upon our

Tho only thing that saves us Is the mercy
of the Lord I
Tho cook had found another place an'
left us without warning,
An' Mother worked herself into a "break"
by Tuesday morning,
An' there we were, tho lot of us, as help
less as you please,
While all the household cares began to
swarm around like fleas.
There was the huckster to be seen, the
milkman to be paid,
The dishes washed, the kitchen swept,
some eight beds to be made,
We made a mess of everything an'
growled an' fussed an' roared;
An' the only thing that saved us was the
mercy of the Lord,
Now, daughter had experience In making
choe'late candy,
An' I myself at boiling things had often
proven handy,
An' Bonny knew a trick or two with
lemons, so you see
Tho cooking of the dinner just devolved
upon us three.
Wc called tho children 'round us an' then
I rose an' prayed
That He would bless our cabbage, choc'-

Oh, Terror perched upon our roof an'
Famine ruled our board.
An' the only thing that saved us was tho
mercy of tho Lord.
Bo now that it's a Saturday an' all that

JAMES A. FARRELL'S remarks about
the prospects for American trade

the Democrats In Justification of their
course of Inaction on the tariff. But Mr.
FarreU's latest utterances at the meet

intelligent preparation for the crisis
which is sure to be upon us when peace
comes. He urged the adoption of some
policy for bringing about a friendly ad
justment of commercial relations in bucIi
a way as to avoid a trade war, in view
of the evident purpose of the belligerents
to create discriminations against neutral
Powers in their efforts to conserve their
own resources.
The council's special committee on
the foreign trade aspect of the tariff
recommended a policy similar to that
which McKlnley discussed in his famous

WAS THE LAW VIOLATED?
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Slr When the legal facts in tno sowaen
Fltlcr School case wero brought to our at
tention, and fully understood. It was felt
that the Board of Education surely did not
appreciate the situation. We believed that
when they were fully informed they would
correct tho mlatako they had made. Ac
cordingly, steps were taken to this end.
Some of the board were Interviewed per
sonally and the Inconsistency of the rule
pointed out.
It was claimed that under tho law tho
Filler School principal could not be re
moved. The Board of Education had acted
under tho rule In this case and that, there
fore, their action would need to be re
versed. Tho men Interviewed agreed with the po
sition taken. It seemed reasonable to sup
pose, therefore, that the same contention
would prevail with the whole board. A
letter written to the board on the case was
referred by them to tho elementary school
committee. After reciting the rule and the
law and calling attention to the fadt that
tho rule made certain averages thef basis of
promotion, rather than one of the three
highest names on the list, ns provided by
tho law, the letter went on to point out
that the law forbade any principal being
displaced by another even If his school did
grow, providing he held his position prior
to the passage' of tho present school law.
Tho Fitter principal came In this class, and
unless he was physically or morally In
capable he could not lawfully bo removed.
Finally the board's attention was called
to Its action In regard to other schools In
precisely the same position as the Fltler,
and the question asked why these princi
pals were all retained why was a way
found to keep them in their places, and the
Fltler principal, on tho other Jiand, re
mo ved displaced? '
The elementary school committee de
ferred action on the claim ot the Fltler
people until June 16, when a subcommittee
held a meeting and later reported unfavor
ably to Fitter Interests.
The portion of the letter dealing with the
different treatment other schools had re
ceived was Ignored. Shall we submlt7 Cer
tainly not If we were In the wrong, rather
than the board, we would make different
answer; but when we seo the right on our
side, should we not see that Justice Is
done 7 Does not the board by Its actions
make a mockery of tho law 7 T. M.

will give continued prosperity. I have been
a worklngman all my life until a few years
ago, and am convinced that tho only method
that will, insure the good, loyal American
working people, both skilled and unskilled,
a Just portion Is to place a tariff or head
tax on all foreigners wishing to compete
with the loyal American working people.
This will Blve the American working people
the same protection that their employers
have, and which they never had since this
country Is In existence. These people come
here In droves, are clannish to a degree, de
preciate property wherever they congregate,
live contented In the moat oongeeted and
