liam J. Bryan will be the nominee
of the Democratic party for Presi-
dent in 1908, thinks the New Or
leans States. Death and an i'm
movable purpose not to accept the
nomination are the only two things
that can prevent him from being
the standard bearer of the Democ-
racy in the next national campaign.
In spite of the years of abuse and
denunciation he has suffered he
still remains the "peerless leader"
of the Democratic hosts-the plain
people who have never once lost
confidence in him or forsaken him.
The Bryan wave which is now
sweeping the country is merely the
wave that made its appearance in
1896, and has never since subsid-
ed. 1t is now moving with ire
tremendous rapidity toward the
East, which Mr.. Bryan once
termed 'Ethe enemy's country"

GOING HOME TO OLD KENTUCKY

They are preparing for a big
time in Old Kentucky. Home
Coming Week is to be celebrated
in true Kentucky style and spirit,
and the wandering sons and
daughters of the Bluegrass State
will gather once more under the
blue skies of their native State,
where the "sun shines bright, !"
the clear waters make music all
the day, and the mint grows green.
Next Thursday statue of Stephen
@. Foster, the author of "My Old
Kentucky Home" will be un-
yelled in Louisville, and all the
Union will be represented in the
brilliant assemblage.
The cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln was born will be there,
and Henry Watterson will deliver
an address, as will Adlai Steven
son, a distinguished son of Ken
lucky.
There are over 100000 Ken
tuckians living outside of the
State, and thousands of these will
visit their native heath this week
More than $4,000 Kentuckians
live in Illinois. Kentucky has
contributed seven Governors to
Illinois. Every Governor of Iii
no1s from 1860 to 1883 was Ken
tuckian. Kentucky also gave to
illinois and the Nation one Presi-
dent-Abraham Lincoln. It gave
to the Confederacy its President
Jefferson Davis. 1t gave to Illi-
nois and the Nation one Vice Pres
ident-Adlai E. Stevenson. Sen
ator Cullom, of Illinois is Ken
tuckian. Kentucky has been pro
life in great men, and through its
sons has enriched the citizenship
of many States.
1t is going to be great week in
Kentucky. There will be plenty
to eat and something to drink and
warm welcome for all. There
will be reunions of families and
friends and new ties and friend
ships will he formed. Where eve1
there is a entuckian whom time
and distance keep away from the
Home Coming he will fondly sigh
for "My Old Kentucky Home fal

THIS BACHELOR a sENEFAcToR

Rudolph Well is a millionaire
merchant, philanthropist and
bachelor of San Francisco. He
evidently feels that he has not done
his duty and SO he has levied a
bachelors tax upon himself. He
has selected fifty women to fit out
5000 women with new dresses,
shoes, cloaks, lingerie and all the
articles required in a wOman's
complete outfit Of dress. He will
ask no questions; the recipients
need not even give him their
names, and he will foot the bills.
He says: 'EYou see, I never have
had the pleasure of providing for
a wife. In time of stress such as
this, when heads of families have
been put to their wits ends in at
tending to the wants of those de-
pendent upon them, my conscience
has troubled me. So | decided to
levy the tax. When 5000 needy
women shall have been supplied
with complete outfits of clothing |
shall feel that l have done some
thing of my duty toward the other
sex. This is not matter of phil
anthropy, except toward myself. l
want to free myself of an accusing
conscience" What a nice man!
Is he not too perfectly lovely for
anything? Earthquake and fire

Two months ago Speaker Cannon
wrote: "The desire for a change,
which exists in the common mind,
will drive the Republican party, if
continued in power, to tariff re-
vision. / do not want it, but it
will come in the not distant fu-

revise the tariff until the people
drive it to do so. The poole, how
ever, may conclude to drive it out
of power.
