Bryan No More.
The great majority of tha people
of this country do not want Wil
liam Jennings Bryan for president.
There is no rubbiug this fact out,
It is claimed that money was
usee to secure Taft’s election.
That is true, and it is also true
that money was used in Mr.
Bryans^behalf The republicans
used the most money to na sure,
but the democrats would have
used just as much more if they had
had it.
But if not a dollar had been used
Taft would have been elected.
Mr. Bryan is an able man and a
good man. There has never been
any question a9 to bis character or
as to his sincerity in what he has
advocated. But somehow the peo
ple at large have never felt that
they could Rust him with the presi
dency. They look upon him as a
theorist more than a practical
man.
He will never be president'; but
he will continue to “butt” into pub
lic affairs.
We do not believe the democrat
ic party will go to pieces as a re
sult of the third disastrous defeat
under hit> leadership. But we do
look for itto undergo many radi
cal changes. Just what these
changes will be cannot now be
stated, but one thing £Is certain :
Mr. Bryan will not he the stand
ard bearer any more.

States Rights Upheld.
The supreme court of the United
States has just handed down a de
cision of great importance to Sou
thern whites and, in its effect, of ims
portance to the entire nation.
This decision, briefly, sustained
the Kentucky state government in
ruling that whites and negroes shall
not be educated together in state
institutions. In other words, the
negroes may not attend the state
schools or colleges for whites
The supreme court did not con*
sider the case in its social aspects.
It merely pissed on the question of
law or whether the p >wer of a state
srer its own corporate creatures
comprised the right to amend the
charter of anv school or college so
as to prevent the attendance of ne
groes in that institution. On th is
point the ooart’s opinion, written by
Justice Brewer, ruled assent.

is its obiter dicta that the white and
