t A Dangerous PatbwKjr. The people of the United Stales have been witnesses of many an era in the country’s life when the old gave plaes to the new when the dis- creaitod proposition of yesterday te- f caine the law o£ today. But ne\’er in that life, probably, has the spirit of change been so strong as is now the case. With such speed have we rush ed along the pathway that lormetly was marked with the “Danger’* sign-: post, that we do not realize the dis tance we have gone. ‘ ; We are witnessing .today the tn- actraent into law of the principles ard propositions . that in the past have bees freolj’ denounced ^ econcmi^ heresies, iinij ii^ii svhieii the Voters at the polls more than oncS piit th*5;r stamp of disapproval. Today l.ie . same issues arise, and in but little di.ferent form, and are adopted '.vith but perfunctory, protest and but the shadow of real opposition. The coun try seems to be dazed at the spe.>d iic ivWch it has been carried alon^f a new economic highroad, and too sur prised to resist. - It was in 18&6 that the DemocraMe party turned its back upon its o« n past, changed its former dark uni- ' ^orm to one of silver and red, rind started along the road that up to that time had been used only by the So- ciplists and the Populists. The vot-. ers of the country rose in revolt. A !iew term came into the dictionary of politics, that of Bryanism. And St the polls in that year the pEovse tieclared that the definition of Pry ■ arJsm was menace, a menace to Amer ican institutions and to American leg islative life. Less than a score of years have passed since that verdict was first jjronoanced. There is in the White . House trfday a sacalled conservative President, one %vhose training and life Vv-ork have been far removed from vhe shouted demand of the orator of the street corner, who was himself one cf thp opponents of the doctrines fiat if. 1912 were woven into the fabric cf Democracy. Yet with his full ap proval and consent, and even upon his initiative, there are being put into force and !aw the same proposi tions that then spelled danger and disorder. Today the credit of the Government i.-! biiing e.steiided to cotton bales, to tobacco, to turpentine and resin. In what re.spect doe.s this differ from ihe iinancial propositions advanced at that lime, and which was .“^o riddk’d by .shafts of ridicule upon the c.im- •p:ign platform? Congress is now seriously eon.sidering a bill to re quire the United States Treasury to buy silver bullion at the mavket price in order to help out the mining intet-- efts of the West. Is not such a pian 11 dear echo of the Bryan silver tie- n'.r.nd of ISUG? The President is demanding an Act for what amounts to Government ov.-n • ership of steamship lines. Is not that an exact pav.iUel on water of that old demand for Government ownersTiip of railroads? Does not one lead log ically and inevitably to the other? Is l;tl4 the triumph of the proclamatio’.j m 1S90? The Secretary of the Navy is now being sent forth as the spokesman of the -Administration. One of the state ments contained in his speeches is that: “Under Wilson the ideals of Je.'ferson have been realized.” It not Mr. Daniels unfair both to Jefferson and to one of his own colleagues in the Cabinet? Is it not fairer to tell the truth and to declare, what is the fact, that under President Wil son the ideals of Mr. Bryan are fast being realized, and that Bryanism is nuL iiow the >niilstone of the Demo cratic party, but its guiding star?

The chapel was decorated in autumn leaves Japanese lanterns, palms and ferns. Rustic seats and soft pillows were in every abatlable place. The tirst feat-' ure at the Evening was a contest in which each girl was ictjuested to wiite upon a card the names of as many new girls as she was able to In troduce herself to in two minutes. Lola Woltz, who obtained twenty- eight names, was given the prize. After this all the gue.st born in the same montii were placed in a croup and each group chose a speaker who extolled the merits of the month ohe represented. .

The Finance Committee Council.s is Viisc and Co>,incils will be wise if they allow Director Taylor to have his .?-i00,(,'00 for rapid transit plans. The -sum should be assigned to his depart ment in the loan bill and there shottfd be no question about jts being e.v- pended for that purpoise. O Rapid Transit is not the city’.'; only need, but it is one of its greatest] needs and has waited the longest of any that are now ander considera tion. It is time for action and this propo-iied appropriation from the next loan is necessary for the initial work. Il should be incorporated in the loan bill and will receive the approving vi(e of the people. 0 Plies Cnreil in 6 to 1-4 Days Your drujftrist will rcfutid mouejr it PAZO OINTRftKNT to cure any c»8c of llchiuf;.

Again we are in the great struggle for national life. We hear the sounds of preparation; the music of boisterous guns, the silver voices of heroic bugles. We see thousands of assemblages and hear the appeals of orators. We see pale cheeks of women and flushed faces of men, and in those assemblages we see alb the dead whose dust we have covered with flowers. .W^e; lose sight of tliem no more. We ar^ with them when they enlist in the great army of freedom. We see them part with those they love. Some ^r? 'tvaiijing for their last time in quiet woody places with the maidens they adore. We hear the whisperings of the sweet vows of eternal love as they lingeringly part forever; Others are bending over cradles, kissing babies that are asleep. Some are receiving the blessings of old men. Some are parting with moth- er-s who hold them and press them to their hearts again and again and say nothing. Kissts and tears, tears and kisses—divine mingling of agony and love! And some are talking with wives and endeavoring with brave words, spoken in the old tones, to drive from their hearts the awful fear. We see them part. We sec the wife standing in the door with the babe in her arms—^standing in the sunlight sobbing. At the turn in the road a hand waves—she answers by holding high in her arms the child. He is gone and forever! We see them as {hey rriarch proudly aw,iy under the flaunting .flags, keep ing time to the grand, wild music of war—marching down the streets of, the great cities, through the toivns and across the prairies^ down to the fields of glory, to do and to die for the eternal right. We go with them one and all. We are by their side on all the gory fields, in all the hospitals of pain, on all the weary marches. We stand guard with thcni in the wild .storms and under the quiet stars. We are with them in the ravines running! with blood, in the furrows of old iielda We are with them beiHven contend ing host.s, unable to. move, wild with thirst, the life ebbing slowly atv'ay among the withered leav!;;. We sec therii pierced iiy bali.s and torn ',viih shells in the trenches, by the forts, and in the suicide or shame. 1 see a world without the beggar’;; outi=tretched palm, the miser's heart less, stony stare, the piteous wail of want, the livid lips of lies, the cruel ciyes of scorn. £ see a race without i"-i?.se of (icsh or brB;n-~shi^e’y and fair-fhe mar ried harnicr-y. of form and function— ;and as I look,, life lengthens, joy deepehi, hj- m;;(;irs lit earth; s'd over all, ip the great don.a, shine.-- t:.p eternal star of human hone. . -r——0 SIS PER WEEK lor wmitiito tatro4u« tiie BESTeV£R POLISH H03\ ifeftrs eout?nj^, paj.

O The censors ought really to be a little more careful telling thinsjs about the German Crown Prince.
