Not Taft’s Strength, But
Bryan’s Weakness.
Mr. Taft owes his election less to
ids own strength thm to Mr.
Bryauks weaknes- .
This fatal weakness was apparent
to (no World, months before either
of the national conventions
convened. Day after day we
warned the democracy against it
Tne morning after Mr. Taft’s
nomination this newspaper de
clared without reservation that
“Bryan's nomination means Taft’s part,
election,” and the vote yesterday
abundantly vindicated this predic
tion.
Mr. Bryan’s overwhelming
defeat is made the more significent
by reason of Mr. Taft’s vulnerability
Tbo renulican candidate had to
bear the burden of general hard
times;] or a million men out of
employment; of,business interests
complaining and dissatisfi d; of a
steadily increased cost of living;
of an unparalleled disaffection of
the negro vote; of republican
factional fights in the great pivotal
state- of New York, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois; of a reactionary
platform which he was obligedpo
modify in his speech of acceptance
of an insidious use of religious
prejudice and bigotry against 31 r.
Taft's liberal and advanced belief;
of a popular resentment against
Mr. Roosevelt’s determination to
name his suecesser and a proxy.
The hard-times issue alone wa3
a hurdeu'under which a far strong,
er candidate than Mr. Taft might
have succumbed. It is the first
time in the history of the country
that a great panic has, so far as the
popular vote is concerned, not
defeated the party in power. But
Mr. Bryan has been proved
un&oudon so many financial aDd
economic questiims in the past
that the republicans turned their
own responsibility for hard times
into a source of strength. Nothing
contrbuted , more to Mr, Taft’s
election than the belief of working
men that his triumph would make
for the restoration of ^prosperity,
while Mr. Bryan’s election would
further retard gdod times.—New
York World.
j su';ge.-ti uu which iu* ha-; had undo
j consider,ti. ii wi ll regard to coming | running at ease,” he says, “the length
of the- hare’s stride is about four feet-
but under conditions of fear its leaps
extend to ten and twelve feet, while
some authors claim that it can jump
feu ditches twenty to twenty-live feet
in width. Perpendicularly a hare can,
jump on to a five foot wall, but seems
to be nonplused by one about six feet.
The stride of the rabbit is about two
pporinnity ‘ feet. When necessary it can make
doing so. j leaps of six or seven feet horizontally.

So, it is goodbye to the colored
brother. While he has, for the most
been faithful to the r< ubliean
party all these years, he does uot
receive the plaudit of well done,
good and faithful servant, but he is
turfed out to seek his fortune as best
he can by h s own effort, and as a
matter ot course, when he really
need- help he will come to his white
democratic neighbors aud friends,
pointed, it is true, but it is not dis*
mayed. Defeats have come to it
About three feet is the highest that a
rabbit can attain to even wbeu helped
by the asperities of a stone wall.” Mr.
Millais tells how rabbits swim—when
compelled to: “They swim with the
head held as high as possible, while
the hocks of the hind legs appeal-
above the element at each stroke. The
shoulders and front part of the body
are buried beneath the water, while
the rump and tail are high and dry.”
A Satirical Picture In a Church. ,
There is probably only one church in
Britain which contains a satirical pic
ture. It is the little church of South
Brent, in Somersetshire. On three oak
en pews are carved pictures which
were intended to satirize the greed of
a certain religious dignitary at Glas
tonbury. This ecclesiastic is represent
ed in the first picture as a fox dressed
in robes anik miter and holding a crook
in bis right paw. Iu the second picture
before even more overwhelming than i the fox h.\s been manacled by a flock
of geese, and in the third the birds
that of Tuesday and it has survived
teem. Why? ' Because the under
lying principles ot it are these of
truth and right. And there will be
no new party, even in name, to sup--
plant it. A rose by another name
would exhale as much sweetness,
but the Democratic party by no oth
er name would be what it is to those
who love it lor the principles it
houses. Democracy lives. While
it has gone down m defeat now the
same incentive that cause the subt
ject ot the sovereign to exclaim,
‘the king is dead, long live the
king,” causes the adherents to the
democratic idea to voice the not dis-
similar sentiment of “long live de
mocracy.”

Why He Laughed.
The leader Damrosch once took an
as ; ed Hebrew friend to hear Meyer-
.beer's opera of "The Huguenots.” Sud
denly the old man burst into a loud
guffaw as if some funny idea had
struck him. '“"Why do you laugh?” in
quired Damrosch. “Laugh! It*s de
beth game 1 ever saw. Vy, dare’s a

The people of the whole country
