ABUSE OF BRYAN.
peopIe.

In the last issue Of the Commoner Mr.. Bryan has
editorial in which he crticses the president for his
recent speech at West Point Following is excerpt
from this editorial:
But when in bis West Point speech he laid aside all
der only be willing fight he must be anxious TO
e vi 1 h ea said 70 this isG he light upon his
self and revealed moral deformity which must shock such
and brutal gospel of Imperialism II good soldier must
be anxious to fight then it naturally follows that an ad,
surround cadets with influences calculated infuse into
them lighting spirit and eagerness boodletting II the
second ter he has onewi 6e made forever Ilusrious
by the Inauguration OF regime AZ She military academy
and in the The ten commandments and the sermon on
stuted for hefor Thou shalt not ll' and Blessed
signed to train be anxious to fight"
These severe words but they do not Justify a
retort like that INDUCED in by the Brooklyn Times.
which calls Mr.. Bryan "camp-scarred and battle
scared Nebraska veteran" When Mr.. Bryan the
colonel OF Nebraska regiment during the war with
Spain. he kept in camp because President McKin-
ley did not fit to order him his regiment to the
front. His readiness to go to the front is shown by
his having volunteered in the army and put himself
under the orders of his chief political opponent.
Too many of the Northern papers are permitting
themselves to indulge in ndecorous bingsgate in
ferring to Mr. Bryan, who is not candidate for any
public office. Even IL he were that fact would not
render the torrent OF unmeasured and ridiculous abuse
anything else than regrettable Here in America We
understand Mud singing has been long practiced
in politics that discriminating citizens do not attach
feathers weight Of importance to the libeers bes.
But what will be thought In Europe OF attacks such
these upon the who has been twice honored the
nominee for the presidency of of the great parties
of the country and who received 5000 900 votes
in 1900? In the last issue of Lesie's Weekly Mr..
Bryan is called blatant, self-conscious bundle Of
selEconceit, creature of circumstances "polit-
al pf fha Il
yertiser, not barring the circus the stage Of his
time political Lazarus" For the sake OF the repu-
taton Of America abroad truth and decency are not
sufficient restraints is time Mr. Bryan's po-
iiucal enemies to cease splashng about in such a
slough OF SANDER?

THE GENTLEMAN OUTLAW.

There is law for the "nigger and the Chinaman"
who pistols play bravado and there another
law for the gentleman who himself to take the
life of his fellow who he fancies has insuted him.
That is the unvarnished Interpretation of recent
in this community and unhappily it reflects
condition and sentiment which prevail in many parts
of the State
We might at well be plain about it.
We retain the code dueo in another form.
And the last condition is infinitely worse than the
first In the old days affairs of honor were carefully
arranged both men took shot or a sword thrust on
given signal and perhaps with a show of bravery and
a little blood letting honor" was satisfied and the an
tagonists shook hands.
Nowadays the man who is aggreved puts a gun in
his pocket and Kills upon the first convenient occasion
Gentlemen Of high social and commercial standing
walk the streets ride the roads breathing threaten
ings and raises his hand in protest
The officers Of the law know it and refuse to make
arrests
Citizens know It aud refuse to make complaint
The man with a fire brand going 10 burn building
would be arrested ntantly but the man with a
weapon resolved to Kill is unmolested.
false and vicious notion of bravery prevails aud
officers citizens alike condone it if they do not ex
pressy approve it.
We need an awakening OF public sentiment to teach
deuded that honor lies another way; that the law
provides ample forms protection and that it is false
honor to revenge insult by making widows and or
phans.
We need social code that will ostracize the brag-
CART end the bully We need officers that will arrest
men who are known to be laying for" another and
put them under peace bonds, We need justice in the
court blind to color condition. We need a civic
awakening that will put the brand Of shame upon this
lawless condition.
Proclaim it at the club, the streets and in the
newspapersand then make 1t stick in the court house
that wanton killing is murder that murder is per.
sonal disgrace and social death that individual ven.
geance is crime and that the armed citizen is public
enemy.
Down with the gentleman outlaw
Make him Stunned of his fellows and let his name
be anathema. At the worst he is a coward! At the
best he is a refined brute
