The Future of
VIM. ]. Bryan

Those eastern politicians who
had hoped to nail the coffin lid
oyersthe political corpse of Will
liam Jennings Bryan when they
turned a deaf ear to his protest
against the acceptance Of a tele-
gram for aparty platform at st.
Louis, have reckoned without
their host. It is no idle asser-
ton that Bryan is a more in
fiuential factor in the democra-
tic party today than he was
when the sun went down on his
second defeat. Nor is it mere
idle talk to assert that he will be
a more potent factor on the
morning after the election than
he is today. Those Of the party
who had hoped to see the name
of Parker become a slogan have
been doomed to disappoint
The plans of the eastern end Of
the party to sweep the country
and in so doing bury forever
what is termed the Bryan fac.
ton Of the party and secure the
control of the party for them
selves have sadly rniscarried,
and they have the satisfaction Of

To Young Men

speech to young men delivered
at Medford, Mimi, w. H. Eustis

young men to be loyal to the

Eustis said HE was the only re-

and yet he felt'no soreness and
voted his ticket straight repub-

ideals, all were necessary to

delegates and visiting members
Of the North Dakota Federation

representative gathering Of the
brainest and most progressive
women of the state. Consider

Of travel, the attendance is
large, most Of the fifty clubs
having delegations. Valley City
has the banner delegation, with
nine members; Jamestown being
a close second. All cf the dele

storms Of enthusiasm raised by
the Nebraskan in his two cam
paigns, yet fresh with the peo-
pie. They are having a positive
proof of the popularity of the
former leader with the rank and
file of the party, and Bryan has
grown as a party leader by the
comparison. Nor is this all.
When Bryan was making his for
mer fights, the eastern demo-
cracy either refused to support
him or did so in such a manner
as not to have the support
known. Not one of them dared
lend a hand to carry the doubt
full states. Not SO with Bryan.
When the leaders who had turn
ed him down, saw nothing else
would save them, and probably
not that, they asked Bryan to go
into the doubtful states, and
if possible save the sinking ship
by the magic Of his leadership.
Not a moment did he hesitate.
He rushed into the breach in
Indiana and summoning the old
guard, has made a desperate
effort to save the state for Par
ker. In this he looms high
above his detractors and shows
party zeal they never possessed.
When the eastern contingent go
down, as they will, in defeat
worse than those Of 1896 and
1900, Bryan must certainly again
become the party leader. The
party must again turn to him
as the party Moses, and in all
probability, he will be the
party candidate four years
hence. Should such be true,
the eastern democrats, in view
Fof Bryan's course in the pre-
sent campaign, can hardly re-
fuse to use their honest efforts
for his success. Bryan will be
stronger with his party after
election, than he has ever been.

Many experiments in the cross
breeding of wild animals have
been made at the Hagenbeck
Geological Gardens in Hamburg.
Many have been successful,
but the zebrula is the only pro-
duct thus far yielded that has
already attained to great COM

experiments in the crossing of
the horse and the zebra were
made about nine years ago.
With experience they became
more and more successful, un-
til the zebrula, as the animal
thus artifcally produced was
called, reached a high state Of
perfection, combining the docil-

qualities of the zebra. B
LAS soon as the military officers

close attention, and as soon as

Roosevelt Safe
Says N. Y. Herald

President Roosevelt's election
is conceded by the New York
Herald in double-leaded editor
ial, in which it says: 'tIn three
weeks the people will have to
decide who will be their choice,
Mr.. Roosevelt or Judge Parker.
''To speak frankly, there does
not appear to be room for much
uncertainty as to the probable
decision. It seems almost a
foregone conclusion that Mr..
Roosevelt will be elected, not,
perhaps, because the people have
confidence in him and in his
conception Of the presidential
functions, but because the
country is prosperous and thus
the necessity for a change is
not very pressing.
Judge Parker must surely
realize hat he cannot arouse the
American people over the Philip
pines or the Filipinos. For good
or evil and with the sacrifice Of
American blood, the islands have
been acquired and the United
States can abandon them no
more than Germany could aban-
don the provinces Of Alsace and
Lorraine.
''Such questions do not con-
Germ practical politics; they are
of interest only to debating So
cieties, and the question of home
rule for the Filipinos has only a
theoretical Importance.
Even Judge Parker would
not argue that the general levels
Of intelligence and education or
the standards of industry and
enterprise are as high in the
Philippine islands as they are
in the United States. It would
be more practical, therefore, and
more beneficial for the people
concerned to demand good
American government for the
Filipinos than to indulge in ora
tory about their theoretical right
to autonomy and independence.
Zone is tempted to ask wheth-
er Mr.. Roosevelt's election may
not prove a blessing in disguise.
The president may regard his
victory as an encouragement to
flourish the big stick more en-
ergetically than ever. This.
sooner or later, will involve the
United States in foreign compli-
cations and thus surely open the
eyes of the American people to
the dangers Of imperialism in a
republic. Thus his election may
turn out to be a blessing in dis.
guise for the cause of constitu.
tionalism.''

ton. Indeed this poem has excited so much admiration as to raise a doubt as to its genuineness. After research Mont gc cmery literary men have declared that 1t must have been written by young Mccall and that it's execution, its ex- pression of noble thought Is wonderful and closely approaches genius.
 The history of this ebon poet Is short and uneventfuL He was born in Mont gcmery at the corner of Holt and Clay Streets. September 9, 1880. He first at- terded the common schools of Mont gomery where his talent for poetry was first developed. One day the pupils were detained on account of thunder storm raging outside. The beauty and the aw- boys sensitive mind and the result was crude effort. which bespoke latent power.
 He has one brother. Roscoe Mccall, who works in a hotel in Detroit, Mich. With his sister. James Mccall is com- poser of a waltz, Promise me Sweet heart" which is now in the hands of a publisher The sister has written the music to the brothers lyrics.
 The poet is a modest unassuming young negro with a resonant voice and eyes which are almost perfect apparently. His favorfte authors are those like Whittier who succeeded under difficulties. He has a number of white friends in Montgomery who have interested them selves in his behalf and he Is confident of ultimate success.

ne says, to make one unhappy, with out using ones thoughts for such pur- poses"
 The following poem is an example of the thoughts which occupy this mans subtle mind in his lonely hours and have been pronounced his best lyrical verses;
 THREE GIFTS. Blest trio of godly dowers!
 Music, poetry and flowers! By thy aid the weary soul
 Glimpses its celestial goal. When the soul doth faint and sadden, Flowers purify and gladden.; Poetry fresh vigor brings;
 Ard sweet music giveth wings. Then the spirit spreads it's pinions,
 And from troubles dark dominions, With delight and rapture scars
 Straight to heavens pearly doors. Blest trio of godly dowers!
 May ye evermore be ours! What would Life to mortals be.
 Were their lives bereft of thee? Over scenes of grief and sorrow,
 Anguish, deep despair and horror. Thou dost shed a beam so bright.
 That the darkness turns to light. Even savage hearts beat faster.
 And acknowledge God as Master. When they hear thee in sweet speech.
 Of the great Creator teach. He who values not thy treasure,
 And in thee doth find no pleasure, Worships sin and vice instead.
 And his soul Is truly dead. Again young Mccall turns to Nature and there finds comfort and philosophy, This Is another of his poems which hs "a been ciassed as exceptionally good:
 AUTUMN. There somes each year a season drear- Which with it's frosty breath Doth sing unto the saddened world. The mournful song of Death. If stays the fair and fragrant flowers And drives the birds away. To warmer climes meath distant SkJes Where all is bright and gay. Upon the meadows verdant floor. It lays a carpet brown; And from the signing. frost-kissed trees 1t blows the dead leaves down. It whistles through the naked woods. In notes both fierce and shrill. Which echo and reverberate
 From valley, glade and hill. The tender-hearted wint'ry clouds Shed cold tear-drops of rain, As they behold the sad. sad earth | Ger which fair flowers lie slain. And as in pain and grief We view Chilled Natures gloomy face, l Thoughts of the grave file thro' our soul In swift and breathless pace. We think of, dear departed friends | Gone to that other land; And sigh to contemplate the hour.
 When We must cross Deaths strand. But why should We thus quake with fear At thought Of that last day? Twere better that we should bedeck
 Our souls in pure array. That they may spread their snowy wings When Deatl's sad bell shall chime, And in delight and rapture soar To heav'n- that brighter cline.
