If One partner SNindlcS the The
They Cannot Remain Together.

The plain truth is, the people Of tho
south agree With Mr.. Bryan on the
question. MI. Bryan believes that the
railroads will not regard the iaw. He
believes thai they will continue to Vio-
late the laws Of the land and to de-
bauch legislation. II he believes
that if the railroads cannot be con-
trolled by the people. the people
should and will take possession Of
them. On this proposition Mr.. Bryan
could carry the South by a vote of two
TO one if every Governor and every
United States Senator in the South OPP
posed him. n people of the South
no longer get their political ideas from
New York. even if some OF the leaders
do.
The attempts to discredit Mr.. Bryan
because of his utterances on this sub
lect will fail. The Lynchburg News
aptIy says that those who attempt to
make the impression that he is insist
ing on this as a party measure are
guilty-both of treating Mr.. Bryan TN
fairly. and Of rejecting upon their own
sense of right and justice"
Away with all this tWaddle about
''popuIism." 'agrarianism. social
ism" and what not. The people Of
this country are not children hat they
can be frightened by names and scare
crows. All this mounting about the
meaning of Democracy, n all his
signing about the ~decadence Of Jeffer-
Sanian Democracy. by papers ana
leaders wao would revile Jefferson
were he alive today. IS getting nau-
seating. Equal rights for all, and
special privileges 10 nonc"-that was
the Democracy OF Jefferson. and that
is n Democracy Of William Jennings
Bryan.
The citation of the railroad IN the
state is plain. The railroad furnishes
the money. the State furnishes the
right of way. The two are partners.
The State can run a railroad without
the help or consent of the railroad
promoters. but the railroad promoters
cannot run the railroad without the
consent of the State. If the railroad
authorities continue to violate articles
Of agreement for the partnership. if
they continue To SWindie their part
ner. if they continue to defy or ignore
the law Of partnership. then the state.
whicA is the people. will buy out the
ether partner and conduct the business
without outside assistance.
And if there are any party leaders
ia Virginia who desire to get run over
by the steam roller of public opinion.
let them ppoSe Mr.. BRYAN and take
sides with the railroads.

WHY ARE LAWS CONSTANTLY
BROKEN

Vas there ever q law made by God
or man that was not broken? Are all
laws broken because they are unjust.
corrupt and hurtful to mankind?
Every law that God has made has
been and is still being broken. Ar
Gods laws wrong? Was He too ignor-
ant or too unjust to make gOOd laws?
Who would dare say such a thing
Every law GOD has made has been
broken. Gods highest law is Thou
shalt love the Lord. thy God, With all
thy soul. With all thy mind, with all
thy strength. His is the highest law Of
the universe; but II is constantly
rOken MultitudeS of men. instead
of loving zoo hate Him. curse Him.
defy him. and refuse to serve Him. II
they could they would drag Him from
His throne and ~cOnsign Him to obliV-
ion. But the vast majority OF man
kind break Gods law, not by hating
Him. but by refusing to love Him.
They say by not loving God that His
love is not binding-that it Is not
worth obeying. These are breakers Of
Gods law as really as those who hate
him. Men who can violate Gods high
est law because Of hatred OF criminal
neglect of duty. find it easy to violate
all Of Gods other laws. and the laws
of their country.
God avs Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as myself" But millions
nate their neighbors. seek to iniure
them, and often TO kill them. God
says: Thou shalt not steal" but this
law IS constantly violated. God saws.
Thou shalt not kill" but people con
stantly commit suicide. homicide and
murder. God says. Thou shalt not
commit adultery" but the land is full
of this foul crime. God says, RE
member the sabbath day to keep a,
holy,' but this law is universally
trampled under foot and disregarded
Men use Gods Sabbath for business,
for ioung.ng and sleeping. for worldly
pleasures. for dissipation. and r~evelry
