"HIGH ROAD OP DEMOCRACY."
The New York Evening Post, under
the above beading has created quite
a lot of interest in what it chooses
to term ''the rehabilitation of the
party." The following questions
were sent to all the leading demo
cratic journalists in the country, and
some of the answers from the south
and west are very interesting. : The
Post, under date of November 28,
printed several columns of these ans
wers from the editors and leaders of
the party, and below we give some
of the answers and suggestions 'of
the most prominent aud influential
leaders. Summing up all answers re
ceived the Post-says: -
"That the party must rid itself of
the leadership of Bryan; that it can
never succeed as a radical organiza
tion ; that it must drop catch-penny
schemes and return to sanity; that
the development of its leaders must
come through the natural processes
of public affairs; that Bryan, if he so
wishes, still has the power to defeat
any new candidate for party leader
ship these are some of the views
presented. .
Describing the. tariff as -the most
Important matter before congress, a
number of the- editors believe that
democratic opportunity lies in a vig
orous"", and1 united fight, fpr revision
downward, and -It is suggested that
the minority members be ready to
take advantage of the split which may
come between the.pregsessivn ajid-re.
actlonnry republicans over this very
issue.'V '
, ,: " . .
These" were the questions submit
ted? A .
"Shoild an effort at ooce be made
to iut the organization of the party
in abler hands?
"With the whole question Of tariff
revision certain to come up In cong
ress not later than March, should not
special zeal be shown In uniting the
Qemicratlc minority for a vigorous
fight in defence of the low tariff
views of the party? Could there be
a better way of preparing for the
congressional election of 1910?
i "In what way can the election of
democratic governors In Ohio.. Indi
ana, and Minnesota be utilized to In
fuse new spirit into the party, and
show it how to win popular support?
"What other suggestions can be
made, as both true lessons of the de
feat, and hints for a constructive
plan that shall compel success?" i
Among the many able and interest-1
ing answers received we especially!
note the following, among them be
ing that of Editor J. P Caldwell, of
the Charlotte Observer, the most bril-!
liant editor in the state:
J. P. Caldwell, editor Charlotte if N,
C.) Obeervcr:
It occurs to mo that the democratic
party is not to gain anything hy an
'immediate change In Its organization.
This will hav to come, but. reorgan!
zatiori had bust wait upon other
events.
Too prompt and too vigorous steps
cannot be taken In an effort to unite
the democratic minority in the next
congress in behalf of a revision of
the- tariff-downward.
"In..what way can the election of
democratic governors in Ohio, Indl
ana,and Minnesota b utilized to ?n
flliWIiew. spirit into the party, and
show It how to win popular sup:
port?" you ask. By impressing upon I
the democracy of the nation that if
Ohio Indiana. ad Minnesota could
be carried for the democratic state
tickets in spit of the Bryan handi
cap, we may infer logically that if
we had an unobjectionable candidate
for president, probably as many mm
republican states would have btn
carried on the state ticket at least,
und some of the six in questions
those named and three others on the
national ticket also.
- No. plan of action for the future
VlU be worth while until Mr. Bryan
announces unequivocally thathe will
not be" a, candidate, active, or recep
tive, for the nomination in 1912; that
he would not accept the nomination
K it were tendered him, but will give
his cordial support to the nominee of
that year, and bring his influence in
behalf of that nominee, to bear upon
his Own followers. By this It is
meant to say that while It is certain
that Bryan himself can never be
plecfied, 1C Is almost as certain that
f he feels that the party owes him
me nomination four, years-aenne. and

Charles H Henry, editor Spartan
burg (8. C.) Journal:
I think it too early to begin a re
organization of the democratic party.
I do not think the election of demo
cratic governors in several states
where the democratic electors were
defeated possesses any significance of
value, since it was caused in almost
every case by the support hy the whis
key interests of the democratic stale
ticket. The democratic party in the
south is three-fourths prohibition
The defeat of Mr. Bryan shows that
the party cannot be made a success as
a radical party. Tne cereat of ex
Judge Parker shows that It cannot
succeed as a conservative party. 1
do not know what to look for in poll
tics. The: present indications arc
that no party can be successful In
this country that does not have tiie
support of the big interests.
William J. Ewing, editor Nashville
American: ' "
It would probably be best for the
democratic party to let the matter of
reorganization work itself out later
on. It is too soon now to talk of new
leadership.
; Let the democrats I:i congress fight
for tariff reform all along the line.
In a straight light en the tariff issue
alone . the . democrats -would have
stood a better chance this year.
What the democratic party most
Heeds Is sane leadership, td get back
to basic principles, and not acapt it
self to every ism that may be. sug
gested, It needs to get away from
hysteria and back to common sense.
This nation never prospered through
hysterical policies, and never will.
The (democratic line of battle in tae
future should be, "Equal rights Yo
all, special privileges to none," and a
policy of live and let live.
Erwln Craighead, editor Mobile
(Ala.) Register:
It will probably be better to let
the lesson of defeat have time to sins
in. We need a leader. Such a one
may disclose himself in the coming
session of congress. . Wait and sec
how the party ' deports itself by its
representatives.
Pardon the question, but who shall
make the appeal for party uhidn on
This natloa never propsered througn
Bryan, and he has subordinated the
tariff issue.
As to a constructive plan, we can
not succeed on the Denver platform.
We must get back to simple democ
racy. How, I do not know. It seems
almost the time for the organization
of a new conservative party, out of
democratic elements. I have not
much confidence in the ability of the
recent leader and his associates to
take the back track. Their effort to
save their faces would make any dec
larations of conservatism appear In
sincere.. REMEMBER THE POOR.
The Heason of the year is coming
when we ure accustomed to give gifts
and be merry. , We should all re
member the good words, "It is more
blessed to give than to receive" and If
we will only look about us we will
find that we can gain more real
pleasure and happiness by helping
some ?ioor deserving person or fam
ily than we could gain In a-whole
year by buying costly t presents , fqr
ourbflves or members of our family.
The giving of Christmas gifts has de
teriorated into a trading proposition,
each one striving to see whj can buy
the most valuable gift, ana In this'
way the spirit of giving is lost and ers of The Evening Time, that tne
so is the 'pleasure. : , ' ' J rock quarry in the eastern section- of
r".'f ybd want to have a real Christ- the city should be fenced is a good
mas and want to enjoy that greav'one, and thore' should be some stepb
spirit that teaches us to love one an- taken at once to have a heavy board
other, go out and find some poor fence placed arijund It." In the first
child or family and make it enjoy place It was exceedingly bad policy
Christmas by giving It the, things to allow such a hole to be made so
thaf It canndt get and the pleasures near the limits of the cky,' but as it
that will come into your soul and , has been made and will probably con
life, will be the sweetest yon have tinue as it Is for some time to come
ever known. Do not send your gifts',
to the poor by someone else, the most
abominable giving In the world is protection. Such a step might" pos
dvlng to the poor through- some slbly save someone's life, and if such
agency, or association. Go out into
the highways and hedges and slums,
of the city and Had . the poor and
needy and give your gifts yourself and
the pleasure of seeing some poot
will be the greatest gift . tfeat can '
come to any one. Give' not to each
other, but rather give to the poor,
and your blessing will be greatest.'
. THK MINORITY LEADER. ...
Hon, Champ Clark has been select
ed to succeed John Saarpe Williams
as the minority leader of the house.
No better selection could possibly
nave, been made. With John Sharpe
Williams, thai great and fearless
leader in the senate and Champ Clark
as the leader of the democratic forces
as me leader or tne aemocratlc lorces
in the house there is no reason why
IthP dfimoprats should not nraspnt a
solid front the enemy. These twojIemfcr,.. .If - you. have ...ache8 aw

wards the present success of the dem-
nii, nrtv i. iun kMinnt
.
warK as ne says:
"I am profoundly grateful for the
Kreat honor lust conferred on me
great nonor just conieired on me
an honor doubly prized because of the
unanimity with which it has been
given.". .
"1 hope to discharge the difficult
duties of the position so as not to
cause you to regret the action of this
hour, but I cannot do it, no man can,
without the cordial co-operation and
constant assistance of his fellows.
This co-operation and this assistance
I now inyoke in the Interest of the
country and of a great historic party.
These interests are largely com
mitted to our hands. To promote
them by securing unity of action,
sacrifice on the part of every demo
ocratic member, by regular and punc
tual attendance at the house and
keeping down personal jealousies and
mutual concession. .With these 'we
can accomplish much for the
strengthening of the party with
which we are affiliated. Let It never
be forgotten, that, 'He serves his par
ty best, who serves Ills country well.'
"I shall confer with you as tre
queutly as possible and invite sug
gestions on the ground that in a mul
titude of counsel there is wisdom.
' "Each member hhould make him
self thoroughly familiar with the
bnsinePti' pertaining to his commit
tee aud saould be in the house to
look after It. 1 hava no policy other
than to carry out your wishes. Truth
to tell,' being only a foil for my bril
liant long-time friend. John Sharp
Williams, who voluntarily relin
quishes the burdens . and honors.; of
the position. I feel that it ia really
his term and he is only retired in so
far as his colleagues have agreed. I
have one thought in mind on this oc
casion, and always, that in unity
there is strength, and we must stand
together if we would increase the in
fluence of the democratic party as a
factor in public affairs.
'I feel that I now enjoy the friend
ship of every member here tonight
and of every' member who has a right
to be here tonight. The fondest wish
that I can entertain for myself is that
on the 4th of Marcii 1 will have as
many friends as 1 have on the 6th
of December."
He hits the note that will ultimate
ly bring complete success to the dem
ocratic party when he says, "I have
but one thought in mind on this oc-
canlon, and always,' that In unity
there Is strength, and we must stand
together if we will increase the in
fluence of the democratic party as a
factor in public affairs."
Champ Clark Is a natural born
leader and under him the democrats
will still have a man like the fear
less Williams, who will stand for the
rigiits of the party and the rights of
the people. Above all he :S a noble
and hitch-minded man lu whom the
people of tiie nation have the Utmost
confidence and the members of tae
house made no mistake in. selecting
him as their leader.
THAT ROCK QUARRY.
The suggestion 'of one of the read-
there Is no reason why It should not
have a strong fence around it as a
had been done1) in the past at -least
one Ufa might possibly have been
saved. It is exceedingly bad policy
to allow such a death-trap to be open
within the city,' auq r sotne'Weps
