Bryan vs. Taft It Is - • The political forecasters aeem to have hit off the national campaign correctly early tbii spring when they predicted that Bryan and Taft would engage In the mighty struggle of 1908 as the standard bearers of the two great parties. Taft has already received the nomination at the • hands of the Republicans and Is now resting up for a few weeks at Hot Springs, Va„ preliminary to the real grapple In the autumn. Bryan sat for nearly two hours on Wednesday listening to the telegraph wires ticking off the tumult at Denver over the mention of his name, practical ly clearing away all doubts as to hla nomination by the Democrats. Bryan against Taft. then, will be the battle array for November, un less something entirely unexpected takes place. It Is rather early for campaign discussions, yet even the moat casual political observer must have noted already one or two features of the Impending struggle which certainly ought to have some Influence In the | campaign. Primarily; of course, the Democrats go Into the battle practically united again, while the Republicans have the largest wedge between their factions that Has pried them apart for many, many years. When Democratic'organization# like Tammany agree to support dieartlly the leader of the "radical" *lng, the "Peerless One," then It must he admitted that gulfs In the old party have Indeed been bridged and bleeding hearts are happy again. From ’way up East to the far Southwest, from the Gulf coast to the Canadian border come pretty good evidences mat Democrats will dote up gaps In their ranks and fight ahoutder to shoulder once more against the common enemy. Not so with the Republicans this time. With the Foraker faction In Ohio nursing sore apota caused by the Big Stick; with the Wall atreet element lowering Its lance against the "Roosevelt" wing; with the tariff reformers crouching for a spring upon the stand-patters—with all these discordant elements In the rank*, the "Grand Old Party" resembles somewhat the broken army of Democrats that went Into the campaign of twelve yeara ago with the Indigestible "Free Sliver" In Its stomach to destroy Its vitality. Thll, then, Is the situation as regards the highly important "har mony" feature of the campaign. It has been said that no great party can poll Its full strength without harmony In Its ranks, and It would seem that the campaign of 1908 will be a fairly good test of the truth of the aasertlnn. Certainly It looks now as tho Bryan will have tr harmonious party to hack him up In the battle, while Taft appears to enter the field with no auch desirable condition prevailing among his followers. Around the Clock The Little Boy It seems particularly fitting that Julian LaRose Harris—"the little boy" who sat at "Uncle Remua'a" knee and drank In the wit and wisdom of that sage—-should have been chosen to succeed Joel Chandler Harris as editor of Uncle Remus's-The Home Mngftfine. No one better under stood the alma and purposes of the founder of that magazine, and no one Is better fitted to carry ahem out, and make the magazine not only a per manent memorial to the genius of Joel Chandler Harris, but a constant and potent factor In the upbuilding of the South. That It ahould be auch was the hope of Joel Chandler Harris, and It was at the sacrifice of -some of the serenity of hla quiet private life that he undertook the task. In an Intimate letter to a friend of his he said, Borne few months ago: "I - think the magazine's aucceas will mean more to the people of the whole South, white and black, than any work of purely local philan thropy. I have It In my mind to fit the magazine to auch gentle and sure policies of persuasion with respect to the negro question, which la also the white man's question, that honest people cannot realat them—and, In the main, the people of the South are both honeat and kindly. This briefly la the great work I have set before me. I do not aay I am the ' ^d wer^on"'"Va h .*ftSm'hff'lift'. only man who can carry It on. hut no other man la In a better position to do It provided the magazine proves to be the aucceas we all think It will be." Tha^on, belter than any one else, can bring to the point of fact that groat hope ao modestly expressed—and the support of the South la due to him In his work. J , , It hag been the pleasure of The Georgian, since the magazine/ was started, to give to It ail> possible encouragement—not thru a misdirected sense of charity, not for persona! friendship, but because we believed that Uncle Remus's had vast chance for doing good. In giving the people of othet* 1 aectlojis to understand ns of. the South, enabling us to regard them with a "seasonable toleration In all matters where opinions and beliefs are likely t6 dash;" and In preaching a cheerful philosophy. The little hoy has a difficult taak, but those who know him are confi dent that he will meaatire up to hla duty as competently and as bravely as ever hla llluatrloua father did. The Wrong Address; Then Trouble. A atory of reality—with a bunch of morals. The story— It was one morning last week that a postman stopped at the home of a well- known member of the police force, whose name, merely for convenience, will he Mr. Johnny Blank, and delivered an ordinary looking letter. As a mat ter of explanation. It must .be stated That this letter was received at the poatoffice, bearing fnls address only: “Mr. Johnny Blank. Atlanta. Ga." As In all rases where there Is no street address nnd the letter Is not addressed "General Delivery," It waa promptly turned over to the directory clerk, who consulted the city directory to ascertain If the name appeared there. He found It—"Mr. Johnny Blank, Sueh-and-Such a number. In Blank-st., policeman," The letter was then given to the postman In this district and he did the rest. Tills brings us back now to the real substance of the story. Mr. Blank was not at home st the time and the Innocent-looking missive was received by his wife, whose trained eye Instant, ly noted the unfamlllarlty of the writ ing and the fact that It had been writ ten by a feminine hand. The envelope was postmarked New Orleans. She knew her husbarvt had no relatives there. Her heart bounded upward Into her throat. In a pair of Jiffies she wss excitedly reading some thing like this: My Darling Johnny—I thank you a thousand times and more, too, for the beautiful hat. If you were here now I think I could hug you to death. You had better wear a brass collar, when I do see vou you are llkeiv to net ?our neck broke- by the hug I'm aavinff for you. You apoke about a pair of fihoefl. Well, I must eay I am somewhat In need of n pew pair. They would rome Jn handy/' Mrs. Blank got no further. She hurled the tell-tale letter across the room. Tears streamed down her face and she fell across the bed. sobbing hysterically. Mr. Blank came home at the usual hour. He greeted his wife with a smile, as would any "Innocent" hubby. The tears broke out afresh, she at first refused to speak to him. and then the storm broke. Here we draw the storm curtain—to prevent the type from being melted. ' In the meantime, a traveling man, bearing the familiar name of Mr. John ny Blank visits the postofflee and makes diligent inquiry for a letter, which he had been anxiously expect ing.

They- have been coming In on every train, until the lobby of the Brown Palace Hotel waa thickly popu lated with them. Bryan Gentle Jollier. They are to be told by their lofty, air, the masses of manuscript sticking out of their pocket* and their eagerness to engage In Joint debate on the burning topic of saving th* Democratic party from dire disaster by the application of their own theories to the situation. It seems Colonel Bryan ha* developed Into a gentle Jollier. He put his arm around th* necks of about 200 leading citizen* who dropped off at Lincoln to discuss great affairs with him and Incidentally to ask him to remember them when It cornea time to distribute the postofflee* and each—If It ever does—put his arm around their nerks and whispered Into their flat tered ears that the only way to make victory sure, to copper-rivet ft; tie it down so it can not get away, would be for the cltlxen he had strangle hold on at that particular time to write the platform. Colonel Bryan apparently haa held close communion with about 100 large and furry ears, unless he whispered Into both ear* of each leading citizen to make It good, which yvould bring the total to 200. for there are about a hundred platform makers here, all en thusiastically on the Job.
