one, of which you can be the head.

Col. Bryan's Reply.

Capt. r, =. Hobson New York City:
Dear Mr.. Hobson-My brother has called
my attention to your letter upon my re-
turn to the city. My dates for the sum-
mer are already made, so that 1t would
be impossible to make the arrangements
which you suggest, even If | thought it
wise to do so. But to be frank with you.
] hardly think that | would care to enter
into series of debates with any demo-
crat to determine what ought to be con-
sldered democratic policy. And then,
too the committee rejected plank which
embodied your idea on the navy question
and as the platform was unanimously
adopted by the convention, | hardly think
that 1t Is debatable question With
more reason a gold democrat might ask
me to debate the insertion of gold
plank, or proteetonist the Endorsement
Of the republican position on that sub
1eet. You doubtless have abundant OPP
portunity to present your views, and IT,
as YOU say. the policy which you repre-
sent Is IAN important and urgent one"
You do not need anyone to assist you in
bringing It before the public I might
add that | am not trying to saddle" my
party with responsibilitv for opposition,
as YOU intimate, for while | refer to the
navy question whenever occasion requires
am not devotine anything like as much
time to the defense of the democratic
position as Won are in assalling it. Very
truly yours,

How Sickness Starts
in the Inside Nerves.

Most forms of sickness start with the
inside nerves. Indigestion. sour stom-
aeh, heartburn, dyspepsia-weak kidneys,
diabetes, Bright's Disease-Liver irregu-
larities-heart rregularitles-bowel irreg-
ularities-all of these ailments, and the
ailments which they in turn. bring on,
are due directly to arrangements of GER
tain nerve ccBters.
Understand first that we have two en-
trely separate nerve systems. When we
walk or talk, or act, we call into play
certain set of nerves-nerves which obey
our mental commands. That is why the
arm can be raised. or the mouth opened.
or the eye shut, at the slightest desire.
pick up a pin one moment, and hold a
heavy hammer the next.
But these are not the nerves we are to
consider here.
There is another set of nerves which
manages and governs and actuates the
heart and the stomach the kidneys and
the liver and all of the vital functions.
You cannot control these nerves. by 10

And SO with the stomach and the liver
and the kidneys and the bowels-they arc
automatic-they do their work at a GER
tain set speed whether you are awake or
asleep-whether you will it or not.
1t is on these inside nerves that life and
health depends. So long as these nerves
perform their proper duties we are well
and strong. When they fall, we know 1t
by the inevitable symptoms-stomach

power of their own. no self-control They
owe their every impulse to the inside
nerves. The nerves are the masters. The
organs their slaves.
But the most interesting part about the
inside nerves is the bond of sympathy
which exists between all centers and
branches of this great automatic sys-
tenn
The center, which, for instance, con-
trolls the stomach. is known to science as
the solar plexus.' The heart center Is
called the cardiac plexus." The kidney

known fact that in prize fights, a solar

lied the building of court house for the
new county of Houston without a referen-
dunn of the act. The court has passed
upon the act creating the county without
a referendum and has pronounced 1t good.
The referendum Is thus seen to be of vari-
able and uncertain applications, not a
fundamental principle of our government
at all but policy of the time and the
occasion. lNisR
There are other institutions which enter
into our system. 1t may be profitable to
examine them a little in the present con-
nection. Government, as we have said.
in Alabama is not by population but by
the representatives of population, created
each and all by law. Some Of these con-
trolling institutions have prior authority
to others. And that fact Is the real sub
stance here. We want to understand our
system in it's parts and in the actual rela-
ton of its parts. If we refuse TO under
stand we sacrifice the faithful fiscal Off
GERS of county and state to our contumacy.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
Sir-It IS evident that various questions

Let us be candid We have no govern

governed by institutions that are solely

Dying Man ScrawIs Last Statement on
Piece of Birch Bark.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
On a piece of birch bark, by the light
of a tiny oil taper, Robert Men eill who
laid down his life In the quest for riches,
scrawled a last message to his loved ones
and bequeathed to them the wealth that
was his. McNeills death came while he
was prospecting near the head waters Of
the Stewart river.
Viola and Freda Finn of Spokane,
Wash, daughters of the deceased sisters
of Mcneil, are the ones to whom the
dying man left hfs property. They were
notified by long distance telephone yes
terday by Henry J. Ross, the man who
journeyed from the grave of their uncle,
of the death of Mcneil and of the exist
ence of the will. Viola Finn is now the
wife of James Barley
The birch mark statement is in the hands
of William Rice one of the prospectors
still on the Stewart river and is to be
forwarded to the Finn girls as soon as
Ross notifies him of their present address.

citizen, democrat and an ardent ad-
mrer of yours, said to me he accepted
my conclusions, but that he would ike
to hear you present the other side, since
by your teachings this policy was incon-
slstent with sound democratic doctrine.
Earnest citizens in all sections through
out the land have the same attitude OF
mind.
| believe for this question, as for all
questions, both sides should be carefully
considered, SO that the truth may the
better prevail In the final decision. Fur
thermore, as you know, no form of polit-
ical education Is more beneficial to a
self-governing people than to have them
sit In judgment upon a great question
and pass upon 1t after an impartial hear
ing of both sides.
| am sure you agree with me that the
question of Americas attitude toward the
nations of the earth and her legitimate
part in world affairs, upon which naval
policy rests, should have the immediate
consideration of our people, as the world
is now disturbed and the future is fraught
with uncertainty.
| am sure you agree with me also that
great democratic leader ought not to
stand out against an important and
urgent policy saddlng this party with
the responsibility for opposition, unless
he can maintain his position from the
facts and the truth.
Therefore, l hereby challenge you to
meet me in joint debate to discuss the
question, Resolved, That America Should
Hold Naval Supremacy" And as we are
both delivering lectures. I hereby extend
you hearty invitation to be present and
divide time at any or all of my engage
ments, and request a similar permission
from you. There would probably be no
difficulty in arranging with the local COM
mittecs. May | suggest, further. that ar

If II should not prove practi al to make

season, | would suggest debates sometime
