WHY DISCREDIT BRYAN.

Col. w. ]. Bryan has notified his New
York friends that he will be in the East
in May and deliver series of addresses
on political issues. He no doubt will
take especial pains to speak against
what he calls the reorganization of the
Democratic party. In other words he
will try to boost up the Kansas City
platform His main attack of course will
be directed against Hill, German and
Cleveland.-Vernon News.
Why should Mr.. Bryan assist or aid
and abet in the discredit of the Kansas
City platform, which has received the
endorsement of more than six millions
OF Democrats? If he should direct his
main attack against 'the reorganizers,"
so-cailed, of which Cleveland is the
chief fugleman, he will be justified be-
cause these "reorganizers" are radically
opposed to the Kansas City platform,
which is thoroughly and consistently
Democratic Why should any organ of
the Democracy, especially one published
beyond the influence of the trusts and
combines in the metropolitan centers.
persist in their abuses and ridicule of
Mr.. Bryan and the extolIing of Mr..
Cleveland? A fact is fact, and it is a
tact that Bryan was loyal to the party
while Cleveland sulked and aided and
abetted in the election of Mckinley. Is
not cleveland, then, deserter? Why,
then, should loyal men discredit a leader
who has been tried and true for one who
when tried, rebelled de6ant1y, Joined the
enemy, and assumed to be bigger and
greater than the party who had honored
MN and made him President of the
United States? .....

1t, is departure from the beauty of
Christ's teaching to follow the dark
proved philosophy of the Orient.
THE religion OF Jesus tells us that
cheerful piety is the best piety. There
is something finer than to do right
against inclination, and that is to have
an inclination to do right.
ITO do good to others is to make life
interesting and find peace for our
souls. To glorify God is to enjoy Him.
That was the spirit of the first Chris
tians. Was not st. Paul a happier
man than Herod? Did not st. Peter
have more Joy of his life than Nero?
What the world wants and waits
for to-day is a strong. true, vital
preaching Of doctrine. The church must
realize anew the precious value of the
truths which Christ has given her. She
must not conceal them or cast them
away; she must bring them out into the
light, press them home upon the minds
of hearts of men. She must simplify
her statement of them, so that men
can understand what they mean. She
must not be content with repeating
them in the language of past centuries.

its daily manifestations, should come

'avarice and luxury which infect and
tangled, artificial modern life.
Suppose they should truly find and
clearly show their happiness in the
knowledge that God loves them and
Christ died for them and heaven is sure
and so set their hearts free to rejoice
in life's common mercies, the light of

Portland, Ore, May 21.-President
Roosevelt Travelled through the fertile
Willamette valley from early this
morning until o'clock this afternoon,
when he arrived here. At Salem, the
capital of the state, stop of three
hours was made and the President de-
livered an address on citizenship.
The only stop made during the day
was at Oregon City, manufacturing
town, twelve miles south of this city
All along the route crowds gathered at
stations and gave the President a
hearty welcome. In this city he made
two speeches, one at the laying of the
corner stone of the Lewis and Clarke
monument, and another at the banquet
given in his honor at the Hotel Port
land tonight. The President spent the
night here. In his speech at Salem he
said:
I'm this country we are free from the
dreadful curse of religious hatred and
persecution which has worked so much
evil in times past In the world at large.
We realize that a corner stone in the
building of this government must be
not merely religious liberation before
the law, but genuine religious tolera-
ton among ourselves. We in America

SHOT IN THE FACE.
Double Charges of BucIxshot Struck
EveraEe.


EveraEe.
Macon May 21.-Buckshot from
both barrels of a shotgun, heavily
charged, fired into Will averages face
have brought him to the brink of the
grave and produced a sensation in
Twiggs county, which is liable to last
a longer time than any event of re-
cent years in that section of the state.
The double handful Of lead was
pumped into averages head after
dark and was sent there with a hope
expressed that it would end his life on
the spot. The gun, so statements cur
rent here to-day show, was in the
hands of Andrew Ward, a young man
of averages own age, and a lifelong
acquaintance.
Everage and Ward were reared in
the same locality and both were mar
ried, but in neither case was marriage
a success. Both had become
estranged from their wives, and man
and wife were living apart in each
case. Everage, it appears, had, after
leaving his wife, grown attentive to
Wards wife. Ward, though not living
with MS wire, became jealous and In
sisted upon Everage remaining away
from her. This Everage declined to
do, and Ward, fired with Jealous rage,
sought revenge.
Notwithstanding the great quantity
of lead with which the gun was load
ed, the wound did not cause death
1t blinded Everage, but 1t may yet be
that death will follow. DR.. Mark
ODaniel of that section who was call
ed in, declares the wounds are quite
dangerous. The doctor was in the city
to-day and brought news Of the ARRAY.
When he left home an investigation
of the case was going on at Billiards

Same Material Spread Throughout

Whether 1t be the brain cell of a

stuff It is made Of is much the same; it
is a difference Of structure, apparently,
rather than OF material. And the
chemical difference between a brain or

difference In the proportion OF two sub
