lent, snlking Democrat when the party
rules against him. But a loyal, active
earnest Democrat. And he will remain
rue and loyal to the Democratic party
not because of the platform and the
nominee. but in spite of them. The
"reorganizers" want Bryan to come
cringing like whipped cur, begging for
crum that may fall from their table. He
won t do that. Neither will he tell lie
to please them. But he will support the
platform and the ticket from patriotic
sense of duty; just as every man who
supports 1T at all ought to support it.
These "yellow dog Democrats and
these little fellows who have no higher
conception of patriotic vote than to
''be regular" cannot conceive the mo
lives that inspire man like Bryan.

The potato men have all made
money this year, and there is a
second crop yet to be heard from.
Tho wheat men likewise have made
fine crops and can sell it any day for
good money. The hay crop is abund-
ant, the pastures are fine and you can
almost see the corn grow. In short
this promises to be the best crop year
this county has had for many years.
and if that is so there will be some
thing doing in Columbia next fall and

BRYAN GIVES REASONS WHY
He WILL SUPPORT PARKER.

Lincoln. Neb., July 12-W J. Bryan
today gave out the following state
ment:
II shall vote for Parker and Davis,
the nominees of the Democratic Ma
tIonal Convention. and shall do so for
the following reasons
81. Because the Democratic ticket
stands for opposition to Imperialism.
while the Republican ticket stands for
an imperlalistic policy. On this
question. which was the paramount
issue in 1900 and which must remain
an important issue so long as an at
tempt is made to hold colonies under
the American flag, the convention was
unanimous, the platform emphatic.
and have no doubt that the candi-
date will carry out the platform.
80 Mr.. Roosevelt is injecting the
race issue into American politics and
this issue. if it becomes National, will
make it impossible to consider eco
nomic questions that demand solution.
The election of the Democratic ticket
will put quietus upon this attempt
and permit the race question to work
itself out without the bitterness which
Mr. Roosevelt conduct has en-
gendered.
STANDING FOR PEACE.
80. Mr.. Roosevelt stands for the
spirit of war. His friends present
him as man of blood and iron. He
believes in strenuousness and incul-
Gates love for warlike things. The
Democratic ticket stands for peace, for
reason and for arbitration rather than
for force, conquest and buster.
"a. The Democratic platform de-
clares in favor of the reduction of the
standing army. and as this plank was
unanimously adopted there is reason to
believe that Democratic success on
this subject would bring some adj
vantage to the people.
For these reasons | feel justified in
supporting the ticket, but shall not
misrepresent the situation or appeal
| for votes for the ticket upon false
grounds. A Democratic victory will
mean very little, if any, progress on
economic questions so long as the
party is under the control of the Wall
street element. On the money question
| Judge Parker is as thoroughly com
mitted to the side of the financiers as
| Mr.. Roosevelt. If he does not sgos as
far as the Republicans would in sTetir-
| ing silver dollars, in establishing
branch banks, In charging the powers
of the National banks and in the sub
stitution of an asset currency for the
present currency, it will be because
| he is restrained by the Democrats in
the House and Senate. Nothing good
can be expected of him on the money
question.
THE TRUST QUESTION.

cratic platform is very much better
than the Republican platform, hut the

I was working with a railroad as time

through the toughest country in Califor-
mia INT that little mare used to carry me.
Il would not be here IL 1t had not been
for her nerve when mine failed. One day
we were going along a twisting trail that
was being changed into a railroad grade.
The men had cleared the chaparral from
both sides. and the gummy. resinous stuff
lay stewing in the sun. The grade lay
along the side of a canon and in some
places the mountain was so steep that a
man could toss a stone half a mile.
The grade had been carried into the
gu'ches on either side of a jutting spur
and then out again on the face of the spur
and around to the opposite gulch. III

and where the grade passed around II

degrees to a river. $500 feet below.
1T was a bad sort of a place for a ten

Dolly kept pricking her ears backward
and casting sidelong glances at me. and l
did all 1 could to soothe her. Finally there
came a pun Of wind that carried some of
the brands clear out on the mountain side,
and in a few more seconds, by leaning
over the edge of the grade, I could see the
blue smoke and yellow flames as they ate
their way into the heaps of brush. The
smell Of the rosin in the %chaparral struck

told the little mare to move along.
When a gust of white flame swept up
