what Does bryan wantg

-.u.
1.-THE workingman wants no sophis-
tries, no abstruse arguments. What he
does understand is his daily bread and
the daily bread for his wife and little
ones. Give him q chance to earn it,
Mr.. Bryan in 1886. si.s
"Republicans assert that the work
ingman has a "fulI dinner pail I ask,
in the first place, whether a full dinner
pail is all that a "laboring nan needs?
It is an insult to the wage-earner to
say that his thoughts are entirely GEN.
tered upon his physical wants. Repub-
lican speakers and editors assume that
the laboring man is all stomach. They
act upon the theory that he complains
only when he is hungry and is happy
whenever his hunger is appeased."-
Mr.. Bryan In 1900.
Perhaps MI. Bryan does not know
that the wage Garner has better wages,
wears better clothes, eats better food
and has over $500, 900, 900 more in the
savings banks laid aside for a rainy
day than he had in 1896, after four
years Of Democracy. .s
MI. Bryan may not know these
things, but the wage Garner does-and
30 does the farmer who grows the
wheat. meat, wool, cotton and other
provisions and supplies that the wage
nj buys. IS r

RAILWAY COMMISSIONS.
An Agreement for Their Abolition Made

February 1.

Chicago, Jan. 20.--The Post yester
day said: No doubt exists as to the
effectiveness of the agreement for the
abolition Of railway commissions.
The committee of operators having
the matter In charge issued advlces
to all concerned to the effect that the
consent of all lines not represented
at the meeting at which the agree
ment was adopted had been secured
and the change would be effective
February I. The success of this move
ment marks Il new departure in the
history of railroad operation in the
United States and the effects are like
ly to be felt throughout the entire
field.
This agreement is not an associa-
ton agreement, but an agreement Of
the financial powers which furnish
the sinews of war for RAILROAD opera
ton. 1t is one which presidents OF
the various systems have been de-
prived of the authority to break. In.
structions clear and explicit, absolute
and final, have been issued that the
orders given must be obeyed under
penalty of forfeiture of position by
the official disregardng them in the
slightest degree. These orders EN-
brace not only the abolition Of com
mission payments, but strict min

that cannot be secured at these rates

spite Of the fierce wind OF Carnival
day Captain Sullivan sailed her
through the human sea with every
inch Of canvas spread, her crew hur.

Of our beautiful ship.
No one could take from us the de.
lightiul hours we had spent together,
neighbors and friends, planning and
preparing without thought Of other
prize than the beauty Of our handi.
work. We, therefore, accepted the
decision Of the committee as sports
men and true philosophers should.
In common with all schools in the
parade we accepted ten dollars from
the entertainment committee with
thanks After paying expenses we
proceeded to make merry.
Sixty people, representing our
small school district, enjoyed a boun-
tiful oyster supper at the school house
Friday night, Jan. l6. Frank Suli-
van, our teacher, Mrs. Sullivan, Miss
Lucille and Mrs. johnson Of johnson
school district were also present. A
short and pleasing musical program
arranged by Mrs. Stone was given
while supper was in preparation.
The evening was thoroughly enjoyed
by all.
Besides refreshing the inner man,
gatherings Of this kind tend to knit a
community together. Corn Carnival
work or any other work which brings
pur hands and hearts 80 in unison is
good for our community.
