THK AN8WBK OF TUB 80UTH.
If Mr. Bryan 1? to ttucceed hi bht tie
sign of defeating the Prewtdeut'ii pre
parodncMt program by Democratic
votea, and so turning tho Democratic
party into tbo arena of 1010 bound and
gagged for tho fray, bo will bavo to
| liavo the South with hiui. The Boutb
Ih the backbone and a good deal of the
body of the Democratic jmrty In Con
greas. its pros|>ectlvo leader, Mr.
Kltchin, la with Mr. Bryan In his pa
triotic and democratic purpose#. llut
Mr. Kltcbln disclaims any Intention to
use his leadership to balk the I'resl
lent and ways he la against hint only
as an Individual,
Whether the Southern < 'ougresHiuoii
will follow Bryan's flag or the Brosi
dent'H, whether they will give Republi
cans tho great opportunity of coining
to the President's rescue and aaving
hia program In the teeth of Democratic
>pposltion, remains to be seen. Hut
It Ih already evident that If tho reajHM t
sentiment in |helr own states as voiced
In their newspapers, they will not fol
low Mr. Kitchln, who does iiot ask
for their votes, nor Mr. Itryan, who
loom. Tho tone of the Southern press
Is encouragingly outspoken a gainst Mr.
Hryau and for the President, It, Ih
now a week since the ex -Secretary in
sued tho declaration of war, and the
response of the luiluentin} papers of
tho South has been made with a
promptness and decision that leaves
nothing to be desired.
The Birmingham News declares that
a great number of liryan Democrat*
have lost their "confidence and regard"
for him because of bis eourse in the
last year : <
"He Is unsound, unsafe, impracti
cal. The bulk of Alabama Democrat*
thoroughly share this opinion. Bun-N
dreds of men who formerly admired
Mr. Hryau extravagantly have been
heard in the last few months to criti
cise his blunders and to express their
lack of sympathy for him."
Conceding that Bryan may believe
in bis theory that It Is safe to wait
Unarmed for a possible war because
none will ever come, The Houston
Chronicle replies*:
"We cannot afford to jeopardize this
great country for what Mr. Bryan
thinks may be good.' We cannot afford
to plunge the Democratic party Into
disrepute for the sake of his ideals.
After his world-wide trip several years
ago, he came back proclaiming to us
the practical impossibility of another
great war."
The same view Is taken by The
Austin American, which pictures his
plan as that of having our Nation ix>se
"as a shining example of the virtuous
lwautltudes of unarmed righteousness,
with the view of Convincing our sav
rtge enemies of the error of their way
In resorting to unarmed conflicts."
"Mr. Bryan," says the Montgomery
Advertiser, "believes in peace every
where, except In the Democratic par
ty." All along, It says, he has been
preparing for his declaration of war
by speaking of the President himself
"with a faint praise," and In the next
breath criticising savagely the policies
deemed necessary by the President to
preserve the honor of the American
Nation." As for ids Ideas themselves
It analyzes the reason for them with
an acuteness and truth which are in
stantly recognizable by any man who
knows Mr. Bryan personally :
"Rut no man In the history of the
country ever arose to a position of
National leadership who was as ig- i
norant of the history, the struggles,
I and the aspirations of his people. He^
seems to have read no book dealing
with human struggles except the
Bible, and of that he has been a
thorough student. But ho does noT
know what his people underwent in
<the past; he is Ignorant of the record
of his own country ; he knows not the
details of the long struggle upward for
human freedom." ?
The Charleston News and Courier,
too, says that Bryan has been "obvious
ly heading" toward a conflict with the
President ever since he left the Cab
inet. "lie Is," It says, "the declared
leader of a faction arrayed against
Wood row Wilson and hi\H struck the
first blow In a political warfare having
as Its aim the defeat of the President."
The Dallas News and The Arkansas
Gazette point out to Mr. Bryan that
bis argument for "winning respect not
by carrying arms, but by an upright,
honorable course," is one for disband
ing our Army and scrapping our Navy
altogether. The Charlotte Observer
mercifully dismisses him as "a man of
many good Intentions, but of umloubt- j
edly weak and faulty political judg
ment," and this pai>cr points out to
Mr. Kltehin, also, the false position
In which he is placing himself. It
would not have Mr. Kltchln untrue to
his convictions, but It points out lhat
a leader entertaining such convictions
would be "a manifest misfit" and his
leadership would "involve embarrass
ments dangerous to the party and the
country. "There might be," delicately
suggests the Observer, which is pub
lished In Mr. KltchlnVs state, "a way
out of It by a sacrifice of his ambi
tions to the preservation of his convic
tions."
If Southern Congressmen listen to
Southern newspaper*, the Republicans
will nut have the credit of Having the
President (rout hi* own party, ~ New
York Tltnee.

AN IRREPRESSIBLE BOY
71 '1 W
?fl WORRIED the cat, ho played
rat-tat-tut
On the roller skate* a full
hour by the clock.
He tried roller skates where
dishes and plates
In Jeopardy lay, till some fell wltn a
uhocki
With an Indian yell on the doll's house
he fell;
And added poor dolly's scalp to his belt;
Then knocked off Its toes and Its fair Gre
cian nose
Which same was of wax?he proceeded
to melt.
IWo tubs he upset without one regret;
lie stood on hi* head till his face It
turned blue;
A. curtain he tore and then sighed for
more
Inventively mischievous things he might
do.
He hid granny's specs, but that ? didn't
vex;
Her face brightened up with his fun and
his noise.
"One svyeet kiss repaid all," so^Bhe said,
Resignedly adding that "boys will be
boys"
But strangest of alt at night's quiet fall
How meekly, how placidly, this rogue
would say:
"Oood-nlght, mamma dear. Good-night,
papa dear.
"I've tried hard to be such a good boy to
' day!"
EAT REMAINS OF CANDLES
Christmas 8ervlcea Among the Eski
mos of Labrador? Part Most En
Joyed by the Children.
Somebody has said that when the
world was being made the* Creator
gathered up all the waste material he
had left over and made Labrador out
of it. Some people say the Creator
never intended it to be inhabited But
inhabited it Is with a Bturdy, taciturn
band of Eskimos, who, thanks to the
Moravian missionaries who have pene
trated to that country, celebrate
Christmas in their own peculiar way.
As service time in the church draws
near all the inhabitants, old and
young, the men on one side and the
women on the other, are waiting In
eagor expectation. It is quite dark
by four o'clock and the bell rings. All
come trooping In clad In the beat
clothes they can muster.
No one stays at home from these
services unless he is sick or lame,
and whenever it is possible sleighs
are used to bring these disabled ones
'to church.
For the little children the happiest
part of tho services comes later when
each child receives a lighted candle,
symbolizing the light of the world.
Each candlo stands in a white turnip
which sorves as a candlestick. Most
of the candles are made from deer
tallow which the Eskimos bring to
the missionaries. After the services
the children eat not only the turnip,
but what is left of the candle as well.
One year only about .en persons,
mostly men, could come ' from the
h'earest island. The ice had been
driven together, and rather than miss
the Christmas service they had risks?"
their lives in crossing over on that
moving, heaving, broken ice to the
mainland. Then they had to ' climb
the mountains and walk through the
deep snow until they reached the mis
sion station after twenty-three hours
of danger and a fearfully exhausting
march through the snow. ' <?>
How happy they v^ere to be in time
to celebrato the Christmas festival In
tho house of their God! About six
days later, when the ice hud formed,
all the rest of the people came, but
oh! so sad and downhearted. Like
little children they told the mission
aries their tale of scrrow. They de
scribed how sad they all had been
when they found that It would be lm*
possible to come to the mission sta
tion for the Christmas service.
"Christmas Past."
It was indeed a gracious time, end
as we read of the revels and cere
monies and find foolish beliefs of
Christmas PaBt, we might regret whet
we have lost In this tamer end less
picturesque age, it we did not know
that never before in history was
Christmas kept so truly and heartily
In the spirit of the day aa It Is now.
We have dropped a good many rode
and some pretty customs, but we hare
gained a broadening spirit of almost
universal charity, a feeling of real
brotherhood, that la perhaps none the
less real that it Is held in check a
good deal during the rest of the year.
