Bryan was denounced by all the
prominent leaders of the Republi-
can party, as preaching dangerous
radicalism aud the country was i'm
plored to turn deaf ear to him,
but to. day President Roosevelt is
preaching what Mr.. Bryan preach
ed then and the public is applaud
ing him to the echo although many
of the leaders of his party may not
be doing so. In this connection the
Charleston News and Courier per-
tinently remarks:,
at is all somewhat amusing to
persons who remember how violent
was the abuse of those who advoca-
ted some such measures years ago.
Bryan, it is true, has gone on in ad-
vance of the position he occupied
then, but the people have barring
always the free silver craze, moved
up very nearly to where he then
stood. They are as clamorous to-
day against the abuses of capital as
ever he dared to be. President
Roosevelt is advocating the cause of
labor in manner that would have
been denounced as demagogery in
Mr.. Bryan, eight years ago. The
Presidents attitude on the cordor-
alton questions is more pronounced
ly Bryanesque then Mr.. Bryan's S
was when he first went before the
people to tell them that they had
wrongs which must be rigbted if
they were to obtain justice before
and under the laws"
/ Nothing is palmer than that the
"Bryan heresies" as they fall from
the lips of the President or Secre-
tary strike apopular chord, but what
amuses our Charleston contempor-
ary and everybody else is that hav-
ing despoiled the Egyptian, Bryan,
Of his reforms they are telling the
people that unless those reforms
are enforced the man to whom the
property belongs will be elected
President, ,and himself carry out the
reforms which have been stolen from
him and thus bring disaster on the
lnation. 1t is a political farce Of an

BRYANlSM LOOMS UP.

In his speech in Akron, Ohio, Sec
retary Taft, said that: "Will-
lam ]. Bryan would beco me the sue
cessful leader of the Democratic
parts and a menace to the prosperi-
ty OF the country, unless something
should be accomplished by Presi-
dent Roosevelt" This Is not only
a significant statement, but it is a
compliment to the Nebraska Demo-
crat, and reading between the lines
of utterance, the fact stands out,
that the "something" President
Roosevelt must do to prevent Dem
0cratic success in the nation is to
carry out the reforms for which
Bryan stands and which have given
birth to the term Organism.
There is not the least doubt that
President Roosevelt is now giving
the most earnest aud serious con-
sideration to these reforms, and
evidence is not wanting that in
many quarters he Is being condemn
ed for having espoused the cause
Of Organism, and appropriated
much of the Nebraskan's thunder.
Not longer ago than 1903, Mr..
Roosevelt was in favor of tariff re-
form, and to-day there is no mis-
taking the fact that he is for
government control of railroads,
aud demands government supervi-
sion of all corporations engaged in
intsrstate commerce. Ii we eli
minate the free silver question the
fact can not be disputed that
President Roosevelt stands for
everything, and more besides,
than was in the Bryan platforms
OF 1896. Hence it is evident that
these things constitute the "some.
thing" Secretary Taft referred to

in his Akron speech as necessary
to be accomplished by President
Roosevelt before he retires from
Office in order to prevent the peo-
pie of the country rallying to Will
lam j. Bryan as the man to obtain
for them relief from the wrongs
aud injustice they are suffering
and protesting against.
Any careful observer of current
events can not fail TO reach the
conclusion that very large mea-
sure of the tremendous popularity
the President now enjoys is due to
the fact that he has taken over
Organism as his own. That he is
regarded as a strenuous champion
Of it by the great railway com
panies, and by the Beef Trust and
other predatory combines is mat
ter too much in evidence to be
questioned. A few years ago Mr..

There is n new cure for badness.
This quite unsolicited testimonial is
not an advertisement either, but the
simple relation of what occurred to
to one man on his summer vacation.
For some years he has been un-
mistakably bald, not even aud en-
couraging fuzzy down upon the top
of his head. This year he went
camping in Newfoundland, aud he
found the mosquitoes, gnats, sand
| flies aud various other insects as for
midable as they usually are in those
northern woods. He wore a bat as
he could, but nevertheless his head
was numerically bittenand needed
frequent application of "hy dope. "
Behold wonder! Since his re.
turn home he has been able to ex-
hib.t to his friends brand new
growth of downy hairs where all
was smooth before. Some one sug-
gests that the insect bites were the
direct cause of this desirable re-
suit, stimulating the scalp more
effectively-if more painfully
than massage. But the man him
self scouts such notion and de-
clares his faith in "fy dope. FIX

place in congress and declared that
agriculture was the bulwark or lib

steam boilers-those windmills-those
reapers and mowers. and then

thing of the kind. This is the third or
fourth time you have flung insults into
my face, and am done"

takes. You speak of agriculture being
the bulwark of liberty, and then you
go on to mention nothing but manufac-

Mr.. Parrish has chosen the highly dra-
matte period of Pontiac'S conspiracy in
1853, and takes his hero through an
especially exciting series of thrilling ad-
ventures and narrow escapes from saw
age cruelty. Time and again it would
seem as If there was no way out of it,
