Col. w. J. Bryan, in an inter
view in the New York Journal,
says: GAS a member of the
party l have said and still say
that an abandonment of the ratio
of rs to I would be equivalent to
an abandonment of the money
question, because no free coinage
law can be adopted until ratio
Is agreed upon, and since the 10
ratio has been agreed upon,
an abandonment of it would
mean that either the ratio is
wrong or that, although it is
right, we are afraid to advocate
it. If the ratio is wrong we
ought to select another ratio and
stand upon it. I do not believe
the ratio to be wrong, neither is
the ratio believed to be wrong
by those who made the fight to
insert it in the Democratic plat
form"

The Weston Democrat well says
and Morgantown is no exception:
There seems to be different spirit
manifest among many of our people.
Some of us are disposed TO discour-
age, pull down and defeat any en-
terprise that has for its object the
betterment of our surroundings and
conditions, while others of us are
equally anxious to advance the gen
eral welfare of our community to
give and take-in order that peace
may prevail and fraternal and
neighborly feeling exist. To injure
a neighbor or to interfere with his
rights as citizen or to interrupt
him in the enjoyment and use of his
property is not conducive Of good
citizenship and should be discour-
aged and denounced when such a
spirit asserts itself. A community
can only prosper by united action
and not by faetional fights on per
sonal iealousies and bitter animosi-
ty. Let S all pull together for good, J"
