Mr.. Holcomb thinks that greater safeguards

officers. and on this important subjec, says:
l believe that disbursing officer should either
be required 10 furnish bonds TO cover all advances
or be relieved of giving any security at all In the
latter case he would be placed on his honor, which
might be the better plan but in the former the

make II a purely business transaction. and this
should be Kept in view to the extent OF requiring
security for the full sum of the dollars involved

ALTHOUGH 1t is against custom and
unwritten law to permit the delivery of
political speeches from the steps of the
Capitol at Washington, Vice President
STEVENSON end Speaker REED who hold
the authority, have promptly consented
to BILLY BRyAN's request to make a
speech from that point OF vantage. This
is calculated to make CoxEy extremely
jealous as the same permission was re-
fused him ana he was arrested for at
tempting to talk from the steps without
the permission. But the distinguished
authorities are evidently disposed to be
indulgent to BILLY Boys wbims and
would probably have the Goddess OF Lib
erty removed frcm the top of the dome

OLD ws FOR BILLY.

The Hon. WILLIAM j. BRYAN, who IL
just now sailing through space like
meteor with O non-interruptive bursting
attachment, ought to be reminded that 1t
is an empty wagon that makes the most
racket. Furthermore, it is generally ac-
cepted doctrine that bride for the
tongue Is a necessary piece OF furniture.
that words should be delivered by weight
rather than number and that, after all Is
said and done, every herring will have to
hang by it's own gill and every tub must
stand on its own bottom. Neither praise
nor disprsise thyself, thine actions serve
the turn. Soften your words, BILLY
BBYAN, and harden your argument and
ever keep in mind that truths best orna-
ment is nakedness--which means that
you can't improve truth by rigging 1t
out in bib and tucker or putting
bloomers on it, however ornate these of
themselves may be. And as We all know.

We quote the following from an ordi-
narily esteemed contemporary. the
Pointer, which Bro. LARRY edits with SO
much sigor and according, as We have
believed, to his conscience:
"rhe great struggle that Is going on is
really between the Jew and the Christian.
Gold is the we spon OF the Jew. Labor is
the tool Of the Christian. The jew has
cornered all the gold in the world and
has gladly lent TO America for its pound
of hesh. Labor is sweating when 1t can
get a chance to pay the debt and keep
it's heart. There is not a true student
but knows that II we keep gold as the
unit we can never pay the debt. II is the
Jew that sneers at you and calls out "re-
pudiator." 1t is the Christian who for
gives debts that cannot be paid and ex-
poets also to be forgiven. II would be
well IL every American study himself an d
find out whether he is Jew or Chris
tian."
Ugh That is indeed an ugly para
graph.
We read It with surprise and dismay,
not to say disgust.
Therein, indeed, are made plain the
two outrageous propositions OF the silver
ite cause--trst, that this Is a campaign OF
the masses against the classes; second,
that this nation proposes to refuse to
pay Its debts.
Who says we can never pay our debtsY
And II, perhaps, we could not, are We
going to give up the honest attemptf
ATE the repudiators, the men who de-
cline 10 pay their honest debts, who pro-
pose TO cheat and to steal. are they to be
distinguished as Christians?
And are the creditors who demand
only what the borrowers agreed in good
faith to pay to be classed as Jews?
We want none OF the Christianl
But this paragraph We quote proclaims
the veriest rot, though uglier than most
anything that BRYAN or DEBs or TILL
MAN has let loose about "mssses" and
"clssses."
II is an insult to the Christian to de-
clare such q proposition as Christian like.
What is the difference between cheat
fifty per cent. OF his loan and breaking
into that same mans house, IL you owed
him nothing, and stealing the amount
from his pocketbook?
We don't see the difference.
Perhaps our religious education he's not
yet been advanced to q suffi ciently bair.
splitting stage to make the difference
clear.
Neither Jew nor Christian, II he is an
honest man. will violate the eighth
commandment.
That com nandment is TO be found In
the Old Testament. 1t Is a part OF the re-
lgion common to both Jew and Chris
tian and to honest men Of every faith
we know Of and to honest men Of no
faith.

Women In Spain Taking Up bicycling

Consular Agent Mertens, at the port Of
Valencia Spain reports to the department
of state that the ladies of Spain are taking
up bicycling, and he thinks this will help
toward removing that barrier which pre-
vents them from going out unless attend
ed by some responsible duenna. American
wheels are unknown in Spain, though an
inferior French machine called "LAmeri-
caine" end bearing a spread eagle, with
the United States coat Of arms, is ex-
tensively advertised. There is said to be a
good chance for our wheels in Spain, as
Germany Is barred out by tariff discrimi-
nations and the French and English
wheels are unsatisfactory.
