Th Industrial wi, of Greens boro, sayt la a discussion of The Ob server's editorial upon Mr. Bryan' peach of acceptance: ' "We pas over tha matter of whether " air.

The Observer baa been altogether lair to Mr. Bryan, le tha Bryan Intellect, those strange and Cangeroua "lams' are fundamental, moral questions, and It la not complimentary to Mr. Bryan, thia Implied hypothesis, that he haa put bis dangerous 'Isms' be- Mnd him. 10 one questions r. jorjn .

That la a curious medley. In one sentence we are supposed to have said that Mr. Bryan "ha laid aside until a more convenient season" his ' "strange doctrines," and two sen tences below of having raised the pre sumption that "the leopard has changed Its spots." We do net In . one article commit such Inconsisten cies Of statement as are here alleged. Ws ara next charged with, unfairness to Mr. Bryan because of acceptance f his deliberate statement that he avtll If elected govern himself by the platform and respect it for Its omis sions as well as Its avowals, while The Industrial News In Its lecture on fairness makes It plainly evident that ft 'disbelieves him, declaring that In the event of his elation "his inter est" In the "isms" with which his jiame Is unhappily associated "would Immediately revive" that Is to say, he -would use those who take "nimJ at his word and help him to the Trstdency-and, bElng tn, would "Im mediately" betray them. The reasoning of the above citation la beyond us. --t TOE FISH RISES MjOWTjY. The Houston post, a very ear nest Bryan paper, before the conven- ' tlon as well as since, "Is somewhat amar.ed ut th seeming indifference 'With which most Democrats treat IMrj BryaiTs npp.al for a campaign fund made up of small contributions by -hidivldial ' Demwcrats. fio far" IU own "fund is U-ks than $500, and tnore than half of the amount was contributed by a citlEn who has re cently moved to the fltate from Iowa. This indifference," It says, "is by no means confined to Texas. The Louis ville Courier-Journal, after a ten days' campaign, has been able to col lect but little more than 1100. The Charleston News and Courier wa the first newspaper In the field, and vr Its month's record Is but j trivial , sum. In Georgia. Alabama, Missis sippi, Louisiana practically nothing has bem given. Oklahoma Is equally , Stingy. And what," H asks, "Is Mr. Bryan's request? It Js that tho nearly S.000,000 Democrats of the UntU-d States give 500,00o, or an average contribution of about 7 cents. Th i treasurer of the national committe r.

The Tost sin cerely hopes the experiment of a pop- : ilsr campaign fund may notTprov a failure." and yet It Is clearly appre hensive. Incidentally it la' to ba observed that this method of raising money . for a campaign Is a novel on and of mora than doubtful practicability.

Sua sUff correspondent deliver hi prln Jcipal-oenclusiona upn the outlook, at this Urn.; -In general way," he begin, by saying., "there la , no tre mendous or universal uprising v for Mr. Bryan either east or wen ot mo Mississippi rlvor; thatl9Accegtjthi gambler's phrase, there la every outward-Indication that tba campaign is 'to go a tt lies,' and u nea ttepuor llcan. That Republican propact In all tha Bute visited ara far brighter than they ware at tha aame ata ol the campaign In em to be a fair an4 conservative atatement. Thl report agree with and help ex plain the heavy betting odd on Taft, whirh ' have already noted. At the ame tim The Sun' coreapond n nt irvhere condition that "promiae to keep the ca.mpalgn alive, to worry the campaign manager and to purgle the obaervera up to election dav." Republicans In nearly every State are torn by dlvlaion. In Ohio and Indiana the principal division is over Uquor legislation. Turther wet the "progreaalves" and "reactiona ries" form two hostile camp. In Wisconsin and beyond the Mississippi sectionalism and radicalism combine to produce conditions which might eventuate In a tampede hould the Republican national campaign how "reactionary" not or the East be at all glorified. As for some year past, :ther i a strong Republican element which feel tempted to act with the Democrats against the stand patters. In combination with local and special dissension this feeling has distinct possibilities. Factional fights have already established lines f cleavage and injected many bitter personalltlea Democrats, on tne contrary, are getting togetner as never before In years, and everywhere there. Is found a marked movement back to the party alignment by men who have long been outside. It is like this must worry the Republican managers very considerably. As factors in the national fight The Sun correspondent finds th part played by national candidate utterly insignificant. West of the Mississippi Mr. Taft I running merely a proxy for President Roosevelt, while east of the Mississippi Mr. Bryan "Is be ing hauled along an absolute dead weight by local conditions and local Issues that are at best only State Wide." As for the vice presidential nominees. Kern is the mfrest clfher end Hherman a genuine handicap In the trans-Mississippi Middle West. This concentration of attention upon matters outside the national cam paign Is remarkable even with- all possible allowance for the early stage of the contest. Some undertake to explain It mainly by saying that Mr. Roosevelt has "Bryanlsed the repub lican party," and so, as- between a Roosevelt candidate and Mr. Bryan himself, excitement Is well nigh im possible. Under such circumstances Mr. Bryan, his own party harmo nious, should d drive large benefit from Republican quarrels. His chance in the Central State which means virtually Indiana rests solely, on his possible advantage as a beneficiary ef local Issues. One of the most Impressive possi bilities which this correspondent en countered Is the chance of a Demo cratic Congress. "There Is hardly n State," he says, "which did not show evidence of Democratic t'ongre-s gains; tho factional Arit among lt -publlcans' seems to assure this. Then Is a manifest possibility of the elec tion of Democratic Governors In In diana, Ohio and Kansas. There Is also to be 'noted thet too remote possibility of Democratic Senators In Ohio and Indiana." The outlook could hardly be more perplexing. "At the present mo ment," it Is said by -way of general review, "there Is no one in the Mid dle West whose point of view Is even approximately Impartial who sees snythtng to forecast a Bryan shift to the radical situation. But every one concedes its possibility, concedes that this will remain loose dynamite, to b handled with extreme care, to be an element of danger to the end." In brief, the Republicans have thus far retained undiminished except as to some State and tnor congressional candidates an initially long lead, but many pitfalls beset their feef. No body has yet bolted, but numbers sre In mood for bolting; upon slight provocation. Local . quarrels in the Central States and a possible drift of thrt radical Republican element in the Middle West away from Taft to ward Bryan constitute the ohlef Re publican danger. Democrats, re united, are In a good position to take advantage of the numerically superior enemy's difficulties. If Th Sun correspondent's observations ara measurably correct and we hav no doubt that they are th result de pend principally upon th degree of tact and adroitness which tb Repub lican national campaign management displays. For Just these qualities Chairman Prank It Hitchcock is noted beyffnd any other American politician. If. aided by the strong In st! net of party cohesion, ha can pre vent demoralization in th Repuhll- can ranks.

We extend very cordial congratuia- tlona For purposes of comparison, needs to bo said, however, that while Charlotte has no water front worth considering it has as tine a sky front as can be found anywhere. Just wait a few years. We are not disposed to deride or to criticise Springfield, 111., pn ac count of the race riot which has Just disgraced it;- the South's skirts are not clean enough to warrant it in making too much of the fact that others' skirts are soiled: Wit it 1" allowable to suggest, as The Evening Chronicle did yesterday, that the difference in race riots North and South is this: that while in the South "the guilty negro is punished. In th:. North. war Is made on the negro pop ulation." Close upon an exceedingly narrow escape from drowning at' Lincoln, Neb., Kugene W. Chafin, Prohibition candidate for President, was hit on the head with a brick and severely injured In the race riot at Spring field, 111. He will probably get him self blown up next. A candidate pos sessed of such genius along this line must cause his party no little uneasi ness. Special restraint upon his ac tivities may well appear neeessary If any remains are to be left of him by election day. Speaking of the backwardness of the South Carolinians in coming forward with their 'campaign contri butions, why doesn't The Columbia State, which I. the sheriff of SouTh Carolina and contiguous territory, go "lit and compel them to come In?
