Gems From the Mine.

visit of Mr.. Bryan to the state of Wash
ington, from first TO last, with a thor
oughness and accuracy unapproaehed in
the achievements of journalism in the
Pacific Northwest. 1t has done this be-
cause It is a newspaper. The journey
and the speeches OF Mr.. Bryan were Of
interest to great numbers of people.
Thousands nocked to hear him who
would no more vote for him than they
would throw themselves from the docks
into the bay. They wanted their own
eyes and ears to render a report OF this
much-taIked-of and undertaking man.

has rendered the service OF reporting
him fully and exactly, And besides the
news value, there is the political value
OF this fine piece OF newspaper work. For
nothing better than a course of read
