NGE OF ADDRESS: Subscelbers iy elapye belore the change cas be mi SOMETHING ALL OUGHT TO APPROVE OF. .o) Without the use of red ink or any yellow coloring matter, but in cold black and white, the Post speaks as follows of Governor Hughes: “ Here is a statesman who accepts the tenets of democracy literally and applies them rigorously. ‘The shock of this return to forgotten fundamentals has completely upset the party hucksters—as is but natural. It has even disturbed the equa- nimity of men of sobriety and good intention, who, becoming hardened to existing evils, have calmly taken a grossly im- moral system to be part of the divine order, But those who can discern in the affairs of a mighty commonwealth some- thing vaster and more august than the personal vicissitudes of petty managers of primaries and packers of caucuses, must welcome this effort to lift our political life out of the reek and mire of sordid barter to the cool, wind-swept levels under the free en, And we who retain undimmed our faith in the ideals of the fathers of this Federal Union have no choice but to enlist under a captain who, undismayed by passing discour- agements and trivial defeats, has steadfastly contended for the ‘one supreme cause in American politics to-day, the mainte- nance of the power of the people in undiminished vigor.” We firmly believe that on election day ‘* the power of the people in undiminished vigor’ will be felt in no uncertain way, and that even Mr. Bryan will be convinced that this glorious republic of ours is a‘ government of the people, by the people, for the people,"’ and that ‘‘ the people do rule MR. BRYAN AND THE BIBLE. R. BRYAN some time ago gave the following reason for M adopting Bible texts for his addresses: “ The Repub- licans were always questioning my authority, and it t me so busy defending authorities that it was impossible ccomplish anything. Now illustrations from the Bible are chosen. If the opposition finds fault the matter can be settled with the Scriptures instead of with me.'’ On the opposite page is an illustration of the Biblical saying, ‘* By their fruits ye shall know them."? We have no occasion to“ find fault ’” with “ the authority."" To judj 9 just what every voter should do before putting his ballot into the box. Has Mr. Bryan ever produced one single thing that is worthy of applause? ‘There is another Biblical say men do not gather figs of thistles, and again we do not ques- tion the authority. On the other hand, we ask that Mr. Taft, in the same way, be judged by his fruits. Follow his career —~ NLY recently we read in one of our ex- y') changes that the only thing of which the New York Evening Post had approved since the birth of Christ was the renomination of Governor Hughes, of New York. Doubtless the man who penned this fling at the Post simply wanted to provoke a smile. He did it. But after smiling, most of us will re- flect that a paper which has the reputation of so seldom bestowing praise upon either men or events must have been most deeply impressed by the able administration at Albany to speak of the Governor so highly. are longer and lov We confess to a liking for the simple, old-fashioned amenities.

Judging the two men by their fruits, which is the better person to occupy the White House for the next four years? is a Biblical question that should not be forgotten: ‘ Can the HE Shorter and Uglier Word is being kept astonishingly busy.
