Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 September 1908 — A Picture of Bryao. [ARTICLE]

A Picture of Bryao.

Senator Beveridge seemingly caught the public fancy in his recent word picture of Mr. Bryan. The picture pleases because it is generous in its treatment and true to the subject Senator Beveridge did not indulge in denunciation, he was kindly in his words and the people applaud for the Bryan he describes is the Bryan that is known to the people. Here is the extract which the press of the land is reprinting:

“Let no man denounce Mr. Bryan. Such men are necessary to human progress. Always such men have been the voice of a protest but never the statement of a cause. Always they have been the urges of reform, but never the doers of work.

“Mr. Bryan is an Aaron, bat not a Moses; a Henry, but not a Washington; a Wendell PhlUips. but not an Abraham Lincoln. He Is the storm ot unrest which clears the . atmosphere, but not the trade winds that carry to port the freighted ships of a people’s hope. “Four years ago, in his own homb, paying tribute to his character and mind, I called him a dreamer who beholds happy visions, but achieves no useful deed. His Is the mind that thinks of the barren field bening with grain; but his is not the plowman’s hand, the sower’s craft or the gleaner’s husbandry. The poet’s dream of an undiscovered Utopia has cheered us all, but the Pilgrim’s actually landing on Plymouth Rock, planted the real ’ tree of “l&cnr'tj SwaeoSh' •whcfeß'" real shade we rest and by whose real fruits we live.”’
