The Democratic Convention There bae been little to eay editorially In connection with the Demo cratic convention at Denver, and when'there really It not much to aay there I* little use of talking. We are Impreeaed, however, with the way thlnga are ihaplng themielvea In Mr. Bryan'a favor. There la a general opinion that Mr. Bryan'a nomination leavea doubt of success for the Dem ocratic party, and a few days ago It looked a* If the force* opposed to Mr. Bryan'a nomination would win out, but that has now died away and Mr. Bryan secma to be In the saddle. * There has been a great deal of bitterness shown in connection with the convention. 'Thla la to be regretted, slnee It Indicates a lack of har mony, such as was present In the Republican convention at Chicago. We feel very friendly toward Mr. Bryan and believe him to be a great man. Me la wonderfully clean and a Christian gentleman, a man who la thoroughly honest at heart. Hla Ideas have not been generally accepted aa beat In the past But the Indications are that Mr. Bryan's supporters have overcome moat of the doubts at Denver and the cbaneaa are very ■llm for any change In the program at this time. The political parties are rapidly changing—lines are being broken down from year to year, and we are likely to think that each succeeding failure of Democracy weakens the ranks. Men who know Mr. Bryan know of hla clean character—know that he represents all that Is high and noble In manhood—but we lieyr men among us aay that if .he la nomi nated they will not vote for him. Have Democrats given up to the Idea (hat because Mr. Roosevelt took many of Democracy's policies and carried them thru, there Is no hope nor need for Democracy? We hop#' not. for If Democracy never won another election It should fight from now to "kingdom kum" aa a dla- clpllne to the party that haa held power so long. It la the duty of Demo crats to support Democracy. The lethargy Into which many are dropping la wrong—It will allow the party to tag to a point where It will not be feared by the opposition. Suggestion* that the convention nominate Mr. noosevelt are a mistake. Statements to the effect that men among ua will vota for Mr. Taft If Br.van la nominated are wrong. No Democrat could harm hla conscience by voting for him If hla party pnta him up. If a bad man were set. up for presidential nominee It would be differ ent, but loyalty to the principles of Democracy demands that the party that at least llvea to keep other parties straight should receive the loyal support of Its members. Democracy Is the watch dog of the nation. Where will we be If we have no balance wheel to our political forces? The Republicans themielvea need the opposition Democracy gives. And yet Democracy may win—who knows? LI’L BOY, DON'T CRY Around the Clock “Got any Idea what the hyena finds to langn at?" aaka Tbs Milwaukee Journal.

Rastus was attached to the win dow, outside, by a belt around hit waist and two leather straps running to the facing*, and he felt himself secure aa he polished the panes and reflected upon the beauty of the watermelon he had stolen from the porter on the next floor. A shadow across the window and a little ahiver up and down his spine made him look up. There stood the porter, with a malevolent eye and a gleaming knife. "Doan yo' cut dat strap, nigger,” ejaculated Rastus. making a bluff, tho hi* cheeks were aehy. But the porter advanced grimly and began fingering the leather strap, paus ing only to poke the knife down at Rastus, who shoved .himself far out over the sidewalk at the ends of hie strap, trying to escape the weapon. 'i done made er bet wid dat gal er mine," eafd the porter, with a wicked grin, "dat when 1 cuts dla strap you’ll hit de sidewalk In two seconds, an* I’se gwin* hold a watch. Is yo' ready?” Then Rastus begged. He pleaded, he promised, he confessed to crimes past and presant, real and Imaginary: Ami at last the porter put up hla knife and went away and Rastus pulled himself Inside the window and flopped down on the floor In a limp and trembling heap of awtat-soaked rags. "I was Jes' projlokln' wid dat nigger." explained the porter, when questioned. But Rastus washed no more windows that day. G. D. G. In Advance of His Time.

Grown folks as well as little folks have enjoyed them, and they have been translattd Into many languages. He was the South’s most widely known author and cltlxen, and It* most modest one. Joel Chandler Harris was a native Georgia, and he was 80 years old. He learned the trade of printer, and for 24 years was connected with The Atlanta I Constitution, most of the time as an ledltorlal writer, a line of work In which ‘he did not particularly shine. He was the author of many books and stories, and some months ago established "Un cle Remus's Magazine.” The death of Uncle Remua calls to mind the words of Josh Billings when Artemus Ward died. He wrote: "Deth seldom Iz Imparshall; this Iz all that can be sed In hla favor. He moves his slthe awl round the world, now In this field, now In that; wheat, flowers and need* drop, wilt and wither, for he slthe* early snd 1st* In cltl and town, by the hearthstun and away oph where the wanderers are.

It was as If he set In his armchair with the children of the nation on hla knees ana grouped about him. telling them tale* that combined astonishment and entertainment. Thev felt a peculiar klnahlp for him; he was their Uncle Remua, But Joel Chandler Harris vraa more than a teller of stories and a humorist of rare merit. He waa a novelist, a his torian, an essayist and a Journalist. For twenty-five years he wat one of the editors of The Atlanta Conatltutton, and on that Important newapaper waa the successor of Hthry IV. Grady. He had an Inti mate acquaintance with . men and affair* and had a wide Influence In th* South. Hla offlee waa In the topmoit story of Th* Conatltutton building.
