WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
Thrice have the voters of the Unit
ed States rejected the presidential as
pirations of Williatu Jennings Bryan;
but each time the Nebraskan has e
uierged from the conflict with undimi
ished popularity and today, save for
Roosevelt and Taft, he is the most
popular man in our public life. He
will always have his following; for
fry an has beeu a political pioneer who
blazed the way for other leaders to
follow, who sowed for others to reap
the reward.
Twelve years ago Bryan was con
sidered a demagogue, his theories of
government were derided as being
radical and impractical. Eight years
ago his earnest arguments had car
ried conviction into the hearts of
thousands and thousands of sane,
level headed American citizens. In
the last campaign the republican
party practically stole Bryan's thun
der, and, by better organization and
helped by Koosevelt's personal popu
larity. Taft rolled up a big majority
The honor of being president has I
been denied Bryan; but to him be- 1
longs the credit for the progressive j
platform of the republican party. He !
literally forced his opponents to con
form to his views. .Many of Koose !
velt's reforms were first suggested by
Bryan. Few men have shown the po
litical insight that Bryan has; few
men have ever held the love of their
constituents through the trials of de
feat in the manner of the "Peerless
Leader." He has been a political
prophet and like other prophets he
"has been without honor in his own
country."
Bryan is a great and good man. He
furnishes a lofty example of what
American citizenship should be. De
feat has not embittered him, he never
has forsaken the cause of the people
who refused him his ambition. His
work is not ended. Every year he
lectures to thousauds of his country
men, hundreds of thousands more
rt-ad his published utterances. Deuie
office he is still one of our strongest
leaders, and his leadership has al
ways been exerted for what he believ
ed were the best interests of the
people. William Jennings Bryan will
rank high in the list of our great men'
when posterity has delivered its ver
dict.
If Taft can persuade congress to
give us a reasonable tariff he will
have earned the gratitude of the
people of the United States. Our
present tariff was framed for the bene
fit of the few at the expense of the
many.
One thousand years ago the fact
that a blizzard raged as when Taft
was being inaugurated would have
been considered as an omen of troub
lous times ahead.
Most of our presidents have been
big men physically as well as men
tally. Washington, Lincoln. Cleve
land, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft
for example.
VVickersham's proposal of an Alas
kan legislature composed of 9 senators
and 18 representatives will meet with
the approval of the citizens of Alas
ka.
Our banking laws need reform,
thinks Taft. A good many more peo
ple are of the same opinion.
Hasey was found guilty. There's ?
crumb of comfort in that.

and he pronounce*! it to 1*> eczema of a
very bad form. Ho treated her, but
instead of being checked, the disease
spread. It showed it -??If on her back,
and then quickly spread upwards Until
the whole of her head was affect' I and
all her hair had to be cut off. The pair,
she suffered was excruciating, and
what with that and the heat and tin
gling her life was almost unbearable,
bhe became run down In health, and at
times was very fever i.-h, languid, and
drowsy, and occasionally she was de
lirious. Her nerves were in such a 1< r
state that she could not bear to be left
alone. In spite of the cold w-atlu-r
she would insist cn having her bedroom
window open, and would lean out on
the window-sill. She did not have a
proper hour's sleep for many nl
The second doctor we tried afforded
her just as little relief as the lir.-t. and
