IS, 1900, Mrs. Annie Gray, at the
age Of 10 years, 3 weeks and 3 days.
She was member of the Methodist
church, and lived true life. She
was married to Mr.. VIM. Gray, at
the age Of IA. She had suffered for
some time with that dreadful dis
ease, consumption. before the angels
called her home. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by Rev. r. e..
Shafer, after which interment took
place at the Portersville cemetery.
Comfort We, your hearts, bereft
ones. True indeed, thy lot is sad.
Are there not others left whose
presence makes your hearts glad?
Think not longer to linger DER the
grave of dear Annie, since she is in
a paradise of wonder. Dry, oh dry,
the falling tears, as in Heavens
height above she revels, free from
sin and care. Cheer thee, thy heart
OF tenderest love, prepare myself to
meet her there. Look up and be-
hold her in Heaven on high. She
beckons you to her home in the

COERCION.

cor,c,ou In his speech at
Trenton, N. j., last
week, Mr.. Bryan thus charged those
who employ labor with attempting to
coerce their employees:
II am willing to risk the issues of
this campaign in the hands of the peo.
pie. If tomorrow morning the voters
were permitted to go to the polls and
write on their ballots their opinions on
the questions before the country with
no one to intimidate them I have no
doubt that we would carry this country
by popular majority such as no ticket
has ever received in the United States.
The only question to my mind is what
effect will be produced by the coercion
now being attempted by those who now
stand at the head of great corporations.

of q well trained railroad man who has
made his way up from the ranks Of the
presidents of the roads, whose general
managers were quoted above, sixteen
began as clerks in general offices, six
were originally telegraph operators, and
ten were rod men or civil engineers,
others were apprentices in the shops,
and one at least was messenger boy in
a telegraph Office.
"In the face Of these well-known facts
these prophets Of encouragement are
confronted with a pretty serious PROPOSE
tion to prove their point among rail-
road men,"
The young men will find more prof.

cia" than by poring over Mr.. Bryan's
outbursts of demagogy. Opportunities
for young men were never better and
brighter than they are today. The de.
mand for pluck, energy and brains in
creases as industrial life develops and
progresses. There never was 80 great
demand for capable, intelligent and
industrious young men for positions of
responsibility and trust as there is
right now. Too frequently young men
are jobless because they have yielded to
the corrupting influence of Mr.. Bryan's
diatribes against "trusts" and no one
will "trust" them. The statement
quoted above proves that it is possible,
under present industrial organization,
for young men, who attend strictly and
faithfully to business, mastering it in
every detail, to rise from the most oh.
scure position to the highest. Young
men to succeed must be self-reliant and
imbued with strong sense of personal
responsibility. Mr.. Bryan takes from
young men this feeling of personal re-
sponsibility and self-reliance and
teaches them to hold the government
responsible for individual success or
failure to try to accomplish by legisla.
tion that which individual effort alone
can attain.

r No. opposing his cleo.
tion. Neither is
it a new thing for him to allege coer-
cion. About this time four years ago
Mr.. Bryan was making the same kind
of talk. Then his prominent
member of corporation" was located
down in West Virginia. In his "pre.
liminary skirmish" or "First Battle"
he thus refers to him:
II have heard since I came into the
state that prominent member of cor
poration has boasted that the republi-
cans have $500, 900 to spend in this state
to prevent the electoral vote being cast
for the Chicago ticket"
When Mr.. Bryan said that if the elec-
ton were held last week he would
have been elected but money may
change the result by November 6, he
grossly slandered and maligned his own
followers. He charged them with cor
ruption. He accused them of being
mere purchasable commodities, articles
of merchandise which could be bought
and sold. BY implication one might
conclude that Mr.. Bryan was confident
of having majority of the votes then
because Croker had bought and paid
for them and they might not be his on
election day because he was afraid some.
body else might outbid Croker. Mr..
Bryan's following should rebel and re.
sent his outrageous slander.
The number of prominent manufac-
turers and business men who oppose
Mr.. Bryan is so large and they are so
active and vigorous in their opposition
that it is not strange that he should oc.
casionally "hear" of them.

make it impossible for them to rise, he
either shows hopeless ignorance of
modern, economic and industrial con-
ditions or else he wilfully and inten-
tionally tries to deceive. The following
is from the Railway Official Guide and
tells how the men who occupy positions
of prominence in railway circles have
risen by regular promotion from the
ranks:
"It appears to be a favorite argument
in these days with certain class of peo-
pie that the large combinations of capi-
tai have cut off from young men all op-
portunity for advancement. The only
way to prove the truth of PROPOSE
