C. The Radical Vote. The republican papers are quick to assume that M r.Hearst will op pose the democratic ticket. They ought to give Mr. Hearst credit for having made a fight for certain well-defined reforms; they oujrht to give him credit for sincerity in ad vocating those reforms: they ought to know that his strength, like the strength of others who are strong with the masses, is due to the strength of the reforms to which he has attached himself. The convention of the indepen dence partyjwas called to meet after the other conventions in order that a better suivey of the situation might ben ale, and since the re publican convention has adjourned, the independence ^convention. ha3 been postponed for a month, which gives greater opportunity for de liberation. Mr. Hearst could hard ly be expected to announce in ad vance of the other conventions what he thought ought to be done, but it will be remembered that in 1904 he was a candidate in the demo cratic convention after the adop tion of the Nplatform written that eaz. He was willing to make the fight fot the reforms outlined in that ylatform. There is no danger of the platform this year containing less of reform than the platform of 1904. There is every indication that it will go even farther in demanding remedial legislation, if the platform of 1904 was good enough for Mr. Heaastto run upon, may not the democratic platform of 1908 be good enough for Mr. Hearst to support? The candidates, too, may have some influence in determining Mr. Hearst's action, and the organiza tion of the national committee is a factor to be considered; the {general trend and spirit of the convention also ought' to.have weight in determ ining with what force the democrat ic party will be able to appeal to the men who are connected with the in dependence party. The reformer is naturally anxious to get all that he can in the way' of reforms,, but;1 he also knows that progress is by degrees and that each reform gives the reformer vantage ground uponlwhich to stand while he fight;; lor other reform. There are some in all parties who vote the party ticket anyhrw no matter what the platform is;, no matter who theJfcandidat are; no matter whether the: party has any chance or not: these vote the ticket. There are others who use the party as a means to an end; they want to accomplish results. C Plutocracy sup Ports the party which leans most to ward plut ocracy and the radical ele rreat is likewise'independent. Each supports the Sparty that gives the best assurance l of securing what that element desires. The advocacy of remedial measures is not the only thing required of a reform party; ability to secure remedial measures is as important as the advocacy of them, and the radical who wants something done is like'y to ask him self two questions: First, what parties promise reform? Second of the parties promising reform, which party r n - r the. best assurances offulfillii z the promise? The rad-J ical element of the country can well' afford to A-ait until after the Den ver convention has adjourned be-) fore h decides what to do. I ?? i In- Real Bryan." The caption of this article is the title of a book, con^istirtr of thei speeches and writings of William,1 Jennings Fry an, compiled by Rieh ard L. Metcaif, wbo, in hisforeword expresses the hope that from the | selections given, "those men and women who have been taught false notions concerning Mr. Bryan's" may "learn that he is a true and manly man." The extracts from Mr. Bryan's] addresses, letfej s and editorials cov! er a wide range of subjects, political religious, economic and financial. Everything he touches is treated in a rarely.lucid manner, and- in sim ple, terse language that is well with in the comprehension of every one. It is this simi?.i>CJty or .-ty!o and clearness of statement, coupleu witn earnestness, that gave Mr. . Bryan his wonderful power as an orator, j One may not agree with all that is credited to him in this book, but he will be impressed with his sincerity and evident purpose to be of benefit to his fellowmen. But that which' will impress one most injthesejextracts is Mr, Bryan's great"jmental grasp, enabling him to treat with the ease of long familiar ity a variety of subjects, some of which are unrelated to each other. He is as much at home in the field of religion as in that of politics, and seems to be acquainted with a little of everything; all of which inditate that Mr. Bryan has been a wide reader and a close student of human affairs. ? , We are not sure that the compiler has been altogether happy in his choice of extracts, especially those taken from the speeches. Some of Mr. Bryan's unpremeditated or ex temperaneous utterances were much finer specimens of oratory than any perhaps to be found, in the book. This however, is usually the case with the prepared address; it often lacks the fire and vigor of the un written one. . It is possible from what .is given by Mr. Metcaif for one to gather something of the real Bryan?of the man, not as he appears to be when casually met with, but as he truly is in his innermost thoughts, feeling and aspirations. We say it is possi ble to gather this knowledge from Mr. Bryan's addresses and writings, but it is not certain that one will; for we do not forget what a witty writer once said about lan guage being an invention for the concealment of one's thoughts and feelings, although we have another saying that "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." ?Columbia Record. Reasonable Profit. What is "a reasonble profit" for the Industrial Trusts to charge over and above the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad? The Republican managers who are hand and glove with the protected trusts and combines evi dently know, but are afraid to in form the voters, for the Republican platform declares that; ' "In all tariff legislation the true principle of protection is best man tained by the imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit to American in dustries." As the present tariff undoubtedly upholds "the true principal of pro tection," for it more than "equals the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad" and has allowed our trusts and pro tected interest to charge much high er prices here than similar goods are produced and sold for in foreign 1 countries, one would think even the friends of protectionism would be satisfied. But it appears from what the Republican platform declares that on top of this enormous differ ence in prices here and abroad there is to be a further increase in tariff rates, if the Republicans are success- j ful, by increasing the present tariff i duties, so that on tap of the profits already enjoyed, there shall be added enough more to ensure a ""reasonable profit." It is the evi dent intention of our Republican tariff thinkers to allow the trusts and procected interests to say how much the increase shall be. and as we all know they are not bashful in their ideas of what is "reasonable." I Under this Republican plan of tariff revision "immediately after election." and no doubt it cannot be too immediate for the trusts and protected interests, the present plight of the Ameiican people will be comfort, pleasure and affluence compared to what the future will bring, if the voters allow the Re publican revisionists and their trust friends full sway. The News and Courier says: Joel Chandler Harris, "Uncle Re mus," is dead, and all over this country big people and little people will grieve sincere!:.- at his taking off. There was never another just like him in all our hisb ry,and (here will never be any one else who can exactly take his place. He was a most charming man, modest a^ a woman and shy as the little crea tures ol* the fields and woods, who lived in his sweet fancy. He left no enemies behind him heie, but a! world full of friends, an~ when thej news of his departure is "iiorated j around" among the citizens of tho ( animal kingdom all about us and in to which none of us can enter, "Brer Rabbit," and "Brer Bear" and "Brer Fox" and the iest of their neighbors will get together "Untie Remus." and talk among themselves about how sorry they are that their best friend has been called away from this world in..which they are not un derstood, and the "Little Boy" in everv community will sb^rl bitter but unayaifihy 'ear- 'h.-a "\'-<^e Remus" lias passed thruugii the v^ii into the undiscovered country from which he will neyermore return, Alas! Alas! is An Alarmed Partisan' Fire Alarm Foraker is still sound ing signals of distress to the Repub lican brethren, Vand declares', that Taft will have, a hard 'time in being elected. But after a * while, when the Taft people iri Ohio have agreed that Foraker.? shall be re-elected United States Senater, we may ex pect to hear frantic appeals by Fo raker to the negroes and the wage earners,' to "rally round^ the flag boys" and once more get together for the G. 0. P. and incidentally I for Foraker. The Democrats will have one ad vantage in this campaign that never occurred before. There will be $100,000 cash in the hands of the treasurer, less the expense of hold ing the Denver Convention, which should not exceed $10,000, if ordi nary prudence has been observed by the managers. Ninety thousand dollars is a pretty good nest egg to begin the campaign upon and not from a tainted source either. The Russian Democrats are quite naturally opposed to the present au tocratic and rotten ' ^overr-v- -But,'' and the Russian Senate finding the Penal code does not provide for the punishment of such an heinous of fense has- determined that. ,herice be allowed to hold any office. What will happen to the Senate when the Russian Democrats get into power as they will some day can be well imagined. The American people have a great deal to be thankful for especi?iy that they are not Russians or Per sians or Mexicans. ' For although we are harried by Republican poli cies and corruption, and plundered by the trusts and corporations, still they allow us \o live, and we will have a chance to vote this Pa'J, and turn the rascals out. . I ? ' J The independent strawboard companies have cut the price of strawboard $2 a ton, which is that much less than the Trust price of $22 a ton. Of course, the Republi cans will claim that Teddy did" it, and Taft will say "me too." Whatever good can be said for Mr. Taft, and doubtless he has many estimable qualities should be his due yet the fact remains that his nom ination was brought about by the most flaggrant use of official power for partisan ends. The tin plate Trust has cut wages 5 per cent, but still continues to be protected by the 45 per cent tariff which according to Republican au thority was expressly devised to pro tect the workingman. The trusts idea of what must be the "reasonable profit" pnomised them in the tariff plank of the Re publican platform can be easier imag ined than paid by the people. The policy of leaving Castro to his own devices seems^to Jbe all the Administrates can think - of1- in lieu of the much talked of big stick which it is afraid to use. The nomination of Taft was to be the signal for immediate, business revival, still prosperity seems-to lag as low as if Republican policies bred panic, A noisy Fjpurth of July in Mexico may not mean Independance Day.

Lesson ]}.?Third Quarter, "For July 12, 1908. THE rNT-ERNATiONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. x, 17-27. Memory Verse, 24?Golden Text, II Sam. xxiii, 3?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 190s, by American Press Association.] Mizpeh. first mentioned in Gen. xxxi, 49. is at least suggestive of God's watchful care, as we leaf n'from that incident. The name is used -seven times in I Sam. vii. where we see not only Iiis watchful care, but also the great deliverance which He wrought for them as they humbled themselves before Him. In the lesson today the people are-gathered that the king whom they had asked for and whom God had agreed to give them might be publicly chosen by the people themselves, evi dently by lot,' selecting thus, the tribe and then the family and then the man (verses |20. 21).t See also the same plan, in Josh, vfi, IG-IS. God approved of this way-and guided His people by it (Lev. xvi; 8; Num. xxvl. 55. 56; Prov. xvi, 33). While the'people seemed to be deciding the matter it was really the Lord's decision and choice (verse 24). Turning to the special lesson verses, we notice that Samuel, having gathered the people, reminded them how the Lord God had brought them out of Egypt and delivered them from all their op pressors and that they were that day rejecting God," who Himself had saved them out of all Their adversities and tribulations (verses 18. 19). They were redeemed that they might glorify their God and magnify His name before oth er nations and show to them how great a God they had, even the only living and true God, In order that others might learn to know and trust Him too. But now they turn from their high calling and descend to the level of the nations before whom they were called to honor Jehovah. How sad and sinful and heartbreaking to Je hovah it all wasl- Hear Him after He had borne long years with them as He calls heaven and earth to witness. "I have nourished and brought np chil dren, and they huve rebelled against me" (Isa. I, 2. 3). To us He says. "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God. whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption" (Eph. iv,, 30-32). for we are here for Him that the world may believe on Him and know Him. When we live to please or magnify self, then\ we are saying that we prefer .to be like other people, to be conformed to this present world, and thus we reject Him. / . When Saul had been elected that day he could not be found, for with a seeming meekness or humility he had hidden himself. They inquire of the Lord, for this was Samuel's way and David's way and should be our way always, according to .Prov. ill. 5, G. The Lord revealed bis hiding place, and they ran and fetched him, and as he stood among them, head and shoul ders above them all, no goodlier person in ,all Israel, the people shouted. "God save the king!" and Samuel said. "See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen" , (verses 22-24 and chapter ix, 2). When any person or thing cannot be found, it is well to remember "He that is per fect in knowledge is with thee" (Job xxxvl, 4), and consulting Hlra with%l humility, if we have His anointing on our ears, we may hear His voice re vealing the place of the lost person or thing. Many a time have I and others seen It proved, but we must be In His will and seek to magnify Him. Samuel, having told the people the manner of the kingdom and written it in a bobk and laid it up before the Lord, sent all to their homes, Saul also going to his home. God raised up a band of friends who went with him, but there were some who despised him, and to these he was as though he had been deaf (verse 27. margin). See also Ps. zxxvIIL 13, and let us so act when the occasion arises. Returning to the story in chapter ix of the way God provided and pointed out Saul to Sam uel, we learn how In all the most ordi nary events of daily life God Is work ing out His purposes. On Saul's side of the story we simply see so ne lort ? asses und Saul and one of his father's I servants out seeking them. After a long and unsuccessful search Saul urges that they return lest his father should be anxious for them instead of the asses. The servant suggested that as they were near a city where lived a man of God whose every word came to pass (verse G) they should consult I him before returning home, to which ' Saul consented. On Samuel's side we read that the Lord had said to him, "Tomorrow about this time I will send thee a man" (verse 1G), and Samuel had accordingly made all preparation to welcome him. Now see the consum mation, the arrival of the weary trav elers, the welcome, the surprise party, the night at Samuel's home, the setting forth next morning of Saul and his servant. Samuel's startling communica tion to San!, the anointing, the Inci dents which would happen us Saul went on his way and the saying which si?:ne of ns are finding so restful and helpful in chapter x. 7. *'I><> as occasion serve thee, for God is wilh thee."
