william j. Bryan.
rrom tho PhIlalelphia Times.

From tho Phllauclpnla Times.
Whoever else may have gained or lost
in power or in reputation in the election
lust past William j. Bryan comes out
of the election with highest honor and
with the esteem and gratitude OF all
high-minded Americans.
1t is no discredit to any man to have
failed of election under such conditions.
While the defeat of the administration
party was not too much to hope for 1t
was too much to expect. To have made
such fight MS Bryan made and as he
made it was glorious, and the service
he has done his country is not to be for
gotten.
It is easy for those who look only at
Immediate results, regardless OF the
means by which they are attained, to
condemn Mr.. Bryan's campaign be-
cause it apparently failed. But it was
not failure. No man In our time has
done so much to reawaken faith In
American ideals, devotion to the true
doctrine of liberty. He had to battle
against all the forces of materialism,
the sordid influence of wealth, the
timidity of ignorance and the strength
of organized power. The odds were all
against the man of pure convictions and
high ideals. But he never faltered
And the standard of freedom and man
hood which he bore so bravely will nev-
er be pulled down.
The people were with Bryan. They
are with him now, even though many
Welded to the tyranny of their surround
ings and voted unwillinglv for his op-
ponent. 1t was they, not he, that
erred. When we come to contemplate
the probable results of the renewed
McKinleyism it will not be Democrats
alone who will regret that Bryan was
not elected.
The salvation of the republic lies in
these living ideas which Bryan has up
held and which the nation will assured
ly enforce upon those who continue to
defy them. This will be Bryan s re-
ward, n the people seem to have
turned aside from his teaching now they
will return to it, because it is eternally
true and needful. Long before the
boosted four years more of Mckinley
have passed, with Its triumphant part
nership Of imperial ambition and cor
porate greed, the American people will
rise against 1t for their own defence.
Then they will remember and recog'
nize the great work of William j.
Bryan in the great campaign of 1900
and will accord him the honor that he
nobly earned.

Extract from THE PpEss of Dec 22d
/ win Bro. Anderson tell his readers
how that road to Uniontown happened
to be u narrow guage WAGON road ont
day and broad guage railroad the next.
Extract from the Argus" of Dec. 2Sd.
The PRESS seems to be very much
concerned rs to how the proposed rail.
road to Uniontown could be changed
from narrow to broadguage In one
day, We regret to air Bro. Schuppe' s
ignorance concerning railroad con-
struction. especially in Arkansas, for
were he thoroughly well informed he
would know that the line of road run.
ming from Piedmont, Mo. to Texarkana
was changed from a narrow to stand.
ard guage in less than a day, and that
traffic WAS not delayed over the entire
length of line to exceed two hours. This
seems like Il huge undertaking but II
was much easier accomplished than
would be the changing Of the narrow
guaged local Of The Press to broad
guaged, progressive citizen who would
be willing to work for the advancement
Of the city, instead of attempting to
ridicule the efforts Of those who never
lose an opportunity to advocate such
measures as would have a tendency to
build up our city and state.
We leave it to the patient reader to
say who aired his ignorance in the
above.
Bro. Anderson then enters into per-
sonalities which show him to be of the
narrow guage pattern.
The sum and substance of the whole
matter is that the INTELLIGENT and up
TO- DATE local of "The Argus has made
himself the laughing stock of the town
by greedily biting at one of Will Hay
man jokes. and in his ire at having
allowed himself to be made a victim he
vents his spleen in personalities.
But, STILL let him answer our first
question. We have capitalized the word
we lay stress on. Maybe he can under.
stand 1t that way.
Much harm is done the city and county
by indiscriminately taking up little
things of no Importance and lauding
them 80 they will appear to stranger
as something worth investigating. The
PRESS has always given its assistance to
enterprises that promised advantages to
the people, but will not chase phantoms
and assist in booming things that com.
mon sense tells 1t are improbabilities.
No good has ever come to community
by sending out misleading statements,
for men with means when they come
and find those statements have been
misleading will most naturally not alone
condemn that part, but go further and
say that people who will misead them
on one subject will do the same on
others.
