MAKE 1T PAY.

The chief end of any publication is
to pay it's way. In this connection
contemporary well says: do not
run your paper for glory, nor to tick
lie your vanity, nor to vent your
spleen. Unless you can make the
credit side of your ledger bigger than
the debit, quit the business. Glory,
vanity, revenge and all else go to
naught in the hands of the sheriff.
At last, the chief end of journalism
is to pay its debts and fprovide for
the journalist. However beautiful in
theory, it is folly doubly when it fails
in this. Writing editorials and print
ing the paper are easy; keeping the
cash drawer in healthful and success
full operation is a harder job, but 6
more important one. The editors

the financial end of his business. Id
should make it go If possible; but if 4
does not he should wind it up befor'
it winds him up."-Press and Printer

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
BRYAN SNUBBs SILVER DICK
BLAND UNMEROIFULLY.
Didn't Think He Knew Enough to Talk =
Silverites, Confidence in Bryan
Stacking.
By Special Wire to the SUNDAY LIGHT.

By Special Wire to the SUNDAY LIGHT.
Washington, Sept. 5.-The har-
mony among the silver men is of
the fighting brand. According to
Democratic gossip, "Silver Dick"
Bland, who started to accompany
the boy talker on his swing around
the eastern circle, was so unmerci-
fully suubbed by Bryan, that he
refused to remain with the party
under any circumstances although
in leaving 1t, he sacrificed q re-
munerative contract to sway al.
mighty bad English accounts Of
the tour for numerous one hum
bred cent dollars from the strong
box Of q newspaper publisher. The
exact cause of the snubbing is not
given, but the foundation appears
to have been Bryan's belief that
"Silver Dick" didn't know enough
to make real-platform speeches. l
will not vouch for the snubbing
part, but 1t Is certain that "Silver
Dick" left the Bryan party ten
days or more ago and that he has
since then been staying with a
friend in the suburbs OF Washing
ton. This, coupled with the rough
shod manner in which Bryan has
walked over every Democrat who
has opposed his slightest within
since the Chicago gives
the snubbing story an air OF pro.
liability.
The confidence with which the
prominent silver Democrats start
ed in to rush Bryan into the
white house has all disappeared,
and they are now so timid that
they are allowing themselves to be
bossed by the radical populists OF
the Tom Watson stripe, and they
are running hither and thither,
seeking some evidence that Bryan
has even fighting chance to win.
Chairman Faulkner, of the con-
gressional committee, went to
Chicago last week to see whether
Chairman Jones, of the national
committee, was able to cheer him
up, and since his return he has
found it harder than ever to keep
up a bold front.
Secretary Mercer, of the Republi.
can congressional committee,
thinks the vote cast in November
will be phenomenally large.
Speaking on the subject he said
"There never was such wide spread
interest In campaign. / know
that in my own district in Ne.
braska, the votes polled at the
primaries reached almost the total
Of general election. Men who
were sick braved relapses, in order
to get to the polls, and j know o.
one instance where a man was
rolled to his voting place in an in

Bryan looked as if he was ready not
only to throw up the sponge, but what
ever else in the line of groceries that
might be concealed on his person.
Finally said to him:
Leave it TO me. 1t is for just such
emergencies that am your campaign
manager. OF course, he will insist on
being on the platform, along with that
old blatherskite, Tillman, but I'll fix
it so that they will not get a chance
TO speak. At the same time, precau
tons must be taken TO see that the
exits are wide open, for if Hogg gets
chance TO talk, he will create pan
ic. Nobody cares to be decorated
with lungs, lights, and livers and 9TH
er internal organs"
"Oh, this is offalr' groaned Bryan
some more.

coat tails with grip that would have
caused blush of envy to mantle the
cheek Of Mrs. Potiphar. With the
other hand held up one finger as a

Genius is really only the power Of
making continuous efforts. The line
between failure and success is so fine
that we scarcely know when we pass
it. How many man has thrown.up
his hands at q time when a little
more effort, little more patience,
would have achieved success. AS
the tide goes clear out; so it comes
clear in. In business sometimes
prospects may seem darkest when
really they are on the turn to glorious

unique and will result in showing on

poses the plan as follows:
All women over Is are entitled to
one vote. The votes by states will be
shown in the papers every week

quested to read more than one side OF

Judgment. Write the name of candi-
date Oh a postal card and write your
own name and address clearly, also
city and state. On the lower left hand
corner give the name of banker or
grocer who knows you.

ing the mail with fictitious votes.
Names unknown to grocer or banker
will be thrown out. Be very careful to
write clearly and an Acknowledgment
of the receipt of each vote will be sent
to the fair voter. Send the postal tC
