But for the fact that Mr.. Bruce hiss
done his work to the best that was in

many other brilliant men, he is nc
only modest, but conscientious. He is
scrupulously exscting as task master
OF his own intellect.
But something more than an exact

account for the wonderful command of
language, the clear grasp of issues, the
dominance of the audience, which
Bruce displayed On Friday. He say.

But the whole truth lies deeper than
this modest Xplsn alton, true as it is in

gift of orstory. Under his modest, quiet
unassuming exterior is genius, the pow

Bruce is more than debater, he is

News and Comment on the Present
Situation.

Once upon a time a man who had
not been nominated by any convention
thought he would run for office, as an
independent candidate. When he ask
ed a man Of experience what he
thought Of the venture. the latter said:
Let me tell you the story Of the ami
mails in the Jungle:
"Once the Animals in the Jungle de-
cided to Hold an Election to choose a
King. So they divided into Two Par
ties, and one Party put up the Tiger
and the other Party put up the Ele-
phant, both of Whom were Noted as
Wise Animals. Other Animals were
Nominated for Minor Offices, but the
Ass. who wanted an Office, bot no
Nomination.
"'TheyQ can't Turn Me Down." said
the Ass, and I'll run as an Independent
Candidate And he did.
Soon the Animals asked the Elephant
what He would do II elected King, and
he said he would Run out the Snakes,
and Appoint only Wise Animals to Of
flee. And they asked the Tiger what
he Would do. and he said he would Di-
vide up the Unearned Increment among
all the Animals. and Have Government
