Popularity
LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE

Made Him Solid, and Prominent Dem,
ocrats Of Nebraska, Are Now Talk
Ing Parker as Enthusiastically as
They Ever Did Bryan-What a
Leading Politician Says Of the Sit
uatIon.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 16.--Judge Park
er's speech of acceptance and the ac-
counts Of him brought back by party
leaders have altered the views OF
western Democrats, who have hereto
fore been dissatisfied with his nomina-
ton.
Prominent Democrats in this state
are now talking Parker as enthusias-
tically as they ever did Bryan.
G.. ]. Smythe, former attorney gen.
eral of Nebraska, who is close to Bryan
In the direction of party affairs, at pres
ent, came back from Esopus today af-
ter attending the notification. In talk
to Democrats he told them that Parker
is Just the man the west needs for
president.
Bryan men from the west, including
myself, were delighted with Judge
Parker's speech and the impression he
made" Mr.. Smythe said: 1--WE have
had our previous conceptions of the
man changed completely. His speech
is masterful. His bearing has the
same dignity, polish and kindly express
sion of Mckinney, but he Is man Of
greater force than the former presi'
dent. He said many complimentar,
things of Mr.. Bryan.
Had westerners known the capabili
Ties of Judge Parker there would have
been no opposition to him, to my wa,
of thinking"

/. DECEMBER IA, 1903
NO. ,

reader of the Eureka Educator know
of community sorely in need of Z
lawyer? IF so, they can find listen
ing ears. Many of these graduate:
were from the farm and workshop
some of them had left splendid homes
where life is well worth living and
there is need of the higher forms Of
education and intelligence exercised
wisely and judicially; turning their
backs on such occupations as would
bring prosperity and good govern
ment.
These young men had sought the
college to secure through its training
the means of entering an already
crowded profession.
In some cases they had been urged
to leave the farm, workshop and
commercial fields by parents who
half despised their own vocation.
They looked upon the professional
life as something akin to higher or
der of existence. In other cases par
ents, no doubt, reluctantly saw their
bright ambitious sons leave home.
Had their choice ruled he would have
taken some course that would pre-
pare him to come home and take
charge of their business as declining
years came upon them. Why is it
that young men of today crowd into
the professions so-called? In any
village, town or metropolis one sees
the signs of doctors, dentists and
lawyers decorating every stairway
opening, indicating that on the sec
ond floor or higher up someone is
waiting for a 'call." After great
expenditure of time and money young
men open Offices and await their Gus
toners. The ambition and hope so
abundant in the beginning now be-
gins to dwindle and in many cases
finally perishes. Many who have
been trained to become lawyers
change over to real estate agents, life
insurance agents, or promotres Of
such enterprises.
There is indeed room at the top in
the law and medicine and elsewhere
in life, but in the fearful struggle. to
reach the top many young man of
ordinary means is forced out of
the professions. In a private inter
view with our State Supt. Dayhoff he
remarked as follows: "The aim of
our school work should be to prepare
the boy Or girl for some useful voca-
ton in life. Strange as it may seem,
many a young life has been wrecked
in school by holding up some profess
sional life and causing them to hate
the farm and workshop, which occu-
patton they were destined to pursue
