Mr.. Bryan's attention has been
called to a republican paper of Okla
homa which alleges that he, Mr.
Bryan, received two thousand dol
lars hard cash" for his speeches in
Oklahoma last fall. The fact that Mr..
Bryan does not receive any pay what
ever for campaign speeches Is known
to every republican who has intelli-
gence enough to occupy an editorial
position. The editor referred to could
ascertain from the democratic COM
mittee, If he cared to know the
truth. that Mr.. Bryan's services were
rendered without any compensation.
Mr. Bryan's campain work is a
source Of expense TO him rather than
a source of profit, for his travelling eX.
penses amount to considerable for
each campaign. and his income from
lectures is cut off while he is at work
in the campaign, but he is glad to be
able to devote his time to cause in
which he feels interested, and hopes
to be able TO give more and more
time to politics each year.
His income Is derived from his lee
lures and writings. and thanks to q
generous public he is able to make
enough from these sources during a
part OF the year to enable him to de-
vote the rest of his time to gratuitous
service This statement is made in
order that the readers of The Com
mouer may be able to answer such
malicious MISREPRESENTATION as that
put forth by the Oklahoma paper.

A paragraph from the Tallahassee
True Democrat which has been go
ing the rounds of the press, to the
effect that Blsxham and Fleming were
the only ex-governor living of the
old school, true and tried. has been
challenged by the Bronson Times
Democrat The True Democrat said
that it was a pity those who have
followed since their days of active
public life do not command that same
universal love and respect" and the
Bronson editor brings to light some
forgotten history in the following
manner:
Dear. dear. how time dulls the
memory of man, If the True Demo
crat would bark back to the old days
of the Blaxham regime, it would re-
call that no governor was ever more
fervently "cussed' than he. The
Disston sale scandal alone caused
Blaxham to be painted so black that
Jennings and Broward would appear
as angels beside him. Bro. Collins
is too old to make such breaks, even
for the sake of rejecting on a COVER

piece of legislation that the chief
executive should force" through the
next house and senate It is the re-
appointment bill. 1t has been
twenty years since the legisla-
ture has been apportioned and the
present allotment of seats in

ment is inadequate and unfair. The
Legislature ten years ago failed TO
pass this bill, as the statute requires,
but the governor should see to it
that the session of 1907 does not ad-
journ without complying with this

would put it, If the next legislature

wants TO endorse the president, but
is afraid that he will do something
later that will make him want to take
back his endorsement. Says the
Meteor:
We've been wanting to say, for long,
that President Roosevelt comes near
er being representative head of
the whole people of a whole nation
than any president we have known of
personally, but were afraid there
might be a break most any old day
and we would have to take back
something. It's a little trying on a
fellows foresight IL not exaspering
to his hind sight to make a diagnosis
that might be at variance with his
better Judgment most any moment,
This should not keep the senator
from st. Johns from giving the presi-
dent full credit for whatever he does
that merits praise. and Roosevelt has
done much the past year that has met
with the hearty approval and ~anc,
ton of the southern people.

He claims that the officers have failed to distribute government supplies to destitute natives as author ized to do, because such distribution would interfere with the sale to Indians of goods owned by Mir. Holman. He al- so charges that Mir. Holman owns a saloon and that liquor is sold to natives. Those who are familiar with the facts declare the charges to be without foundation.

In a recent tour OF Vermont for one
of the Boston dailies the canvasser found
60 out of the 47O post offices where no
daily paper was taken, and in one place
the people did not hear of the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley until five days
after the event occurred. In this instance
and possibly in others the community was
perfectly satisfied to pursue the even
tenor of it's way without the daily news
from the outside world. And who knows
but what they were more contented In
the enjoyment of the simple life than
the average resident of larger COM
munity whose life is beset with vexa-
tions and petty annoyances.-ISt Johns
