pathway, but in the change, the neces-
sary change, the readjustment of the
organic and statutory laws to the new
conditions, it would be an easy matter
to entirely eliminate the negro from
politics. That ought to be done, and
will be done ultimately, regardless of
the question of government supervision
of railroads.
"I believe that most of the Democrats
are opposed to government ownership.
I believe Mr.. Bryan himself is opposed
to government ownership, if the proper
supervision of railroads can be accom-
| plished without it. In view of all this l
am driven to the conclusion that, while
some of the criticism of Mr.. Bryan may
arise from an honest difference of opin-
ion and out of an honest desire for the
! success of the Democratic Party, yet a
great deal of it, I fear, emanates from
hearts who are really antagonistic to
Mr.. Bryan and much that he stands for
in political and economic matters.
''I am afraid they are taking advant-
age OF this opportunity to break him
down. But they cannot break Bryan
down. lie is made of unbreakable stuff.
He stands upon the rock of eternal
truth and everlasting honesty.
Him do the toilers know to be their friend;
Him will they follow faithful to the end.
|
Must,
He will not say the unjust thing is just"
f'He will not do the Roosevelt act of
receiving stolen goods from corporations
to buy his election and then den0unce
! the thieves who gave him the money.
Mr.. Bryan will not mislead the people
on any subject or about anything.
GAS to what the Democratic Party in
National Convention will do with the
question of government ownership Of
railroads, have no idea that the Natio-
nal Democratic Convention will declare
in favor of the government ownership Of
railroads, and do not think it ought to
declare in favor of it. The country is
not ready for it, and at this time it is
practically impossible. But the whole
party should unite, as it was manifestly
Mr.. Bryan's purpose IN saying what ne
did on this question to urge the united
party to a determined effort to control
the trusts and enact laws which will
protect the toilers and wealth producers
of this nation from the Unsuitable greed
of the corporations and the inordinately
rich few. That is all that Mr.. Bryan
wants, and that is what should be done. "

A boy asks of his father a nickle to
ride to school in the morning because
he is late, and he gets it. Returning in
the afternoon, after supper, he sits down
by his father in the Pickering twilight
and tells the story of the school day; his
successes, his failures, his temptations,
his struggles, victories and defeats, the
good times he has had and the disap
/ pointments he has suffered, and the in
! justices which have been inflicted upon
! him, and how he has carried himself in
them all; and his father simply listens
| and scarcely says word, and at the end
of the communion the boy, who has
asked for nothing, but has received the
inflow of his fathers life, goes to his
bed rested, refreshed, invigorated, ready
to take up the duties and the joys of the
next day with new spirit. Thus to tell
to our Father the story of our life ex-
periences, and receive from our Father
something of the greatness of His own
nature to fit us for what lies before Us
in prayer. To deny the possibility OF
such prayer is to deny an experience as
identified.

CREDIT is LENDING.

| Few customers when they ask credit
from their merchant realize that they are
borrowing money. Neither does the
merchant as rule, appreciate the fact
that he is actually lending money when
/ he grants the credit asked for. This is
the great error of the credit system and
| is responsible for much of the vexation
and loss which it causes. Should GUS
| toner come to the merchant and requests
| the loan of money the latter would hesi-
| tate in most cases. And yet that same
merchant seems to think that to let a
customer have all the credit for goods he
NAV ask for is another proposition alto
gether, Goods and money are the same
thing; that is to say, whe never credit is
extended to a customer it is the actual
equivalent of lending that customer SO
much money. Before d merchant would
lend a customer money he would have
something to say about security and a
fixed time for payment of the loan, as
we'll as compensation for the use of the
money. Let the same customer ask for
goods on credit and none of the safe
guards demanded for the loan of money
are required. The goods are handed over
and charged on account, frequently with
nothing more than fair promises as Sc
curity. 1t is strange that merchants will
grant credit for goods in many instances
where they would not lend money under
any circumstances. They go on doing
this until they have booked their capi-
tai and its legitimate earnings and vast
ed their period Of labor and endeavor.
Talk about wars and famines, and
strikes and panics, but all put together
they are no more detrimental to the body
commercial than the indisc riminate and
lax giving of credit-the animal that de-
YOURS everything in sight and then eats
itself. Credit puts its unsuspecting vic
tim into hole and then straight way
proceeds to dig out the bottom of the
hole from the under side. The man who
walks boldly out among his fellowmen
with the knowledge that he owes them
nothing but his goodwill is the happy
man of today. But no less happy is the
man who refuses long time credit to his
brothers without compunctiOn.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 4, - Governor
Vardaman today gave out for publica-
ton the following interview commenting
ou the Bryan Madison Square Garden
speech and the criticisms which it has
developed:
''I think some of the gentlemen VIII @
are criticising Mr.. Bryan's Madison
Square Garden speech are engaged in
making a very great many mountains
out OF a Jew small mole hills. In the
first place, what Mr.. Bryan said about
government ownership Of the railroads
was not intended as declaration OF
party policy.
"Mr. Bryan, like all other men who
are interested in protecting the people
from the rapacity and greed of the great
corporations, particularly those corpo-
rations which control the highways of
commerce, is looking about for the best
way to accomplish that result. He real
ICES that up to this good time the Coy
ernment has been unsuccessful in its
efforts to regulate freight and passenger
rates and hold them within reasonable
bounds. He also recognizes the fact
that unless the people through the Gov
ernment control these great corpora
tions, that the corporations will ulti-
mately own and control the Government.
They almost do it now,
81 would prefer private ownership of
railroads with proper governmental su-
peryision. But the first and paramount
thing 20 be accomplished with me is the
proper supervision Of the railroads and
the regulation of freight and passenger
rates. The wealth producers Of this
country must be protected from this
species of robbery. The most oppressive
tax borne by the people to-day is the
tribute which they are forced to paysthe
transportation companies. If this can
not be done without governmental ow-
nership, then | am in favor Of the Gov
crnment owning the railroads.
Governments are instituted for the
good of the people, and unless they
serve that end they are of no use. II
the Government cannot protect the
weak against the strong and deal out
everlasting justice between man and
man, then government is a failure. |

railroads means the concentration Of
power in both the State and National
Governments, and 50 long as the negro

In reply to telegram from the New
York Times asI1ink his views on that part
OF Mr.. Bryan's speech relating to the
ownership OF railroads by the Federal
Government, Governor Fardaman re
piled as follows: "The government
must either supervise and regulate
freight and passenger rates, own the
railroads absolutely, or the railroads
will ultimately own the government !
prefer the proper supervision Of the
railroads at this time by the govern
ment. Mr.. Bryan is correct in theory,
but doubt the possibility OF putting
his ideas into satisfactory operatio n at
this time. AS usual, on this question
Bryan is ahead of his day and genera
ton. The people OF Mississippi believe
in Bryan, the greatest living American. "

BAMBOO NOT A TREE.
But there is one objection to reckoning the
bamboo in this article. We are considering what
is the most useful tree, and the bamboo is not a
tree at all, but merely grass. Yet, as the most
populous nation on earth, the Chinese, practical
ly lives by the bamboo, mention must be made
of its uses. 1t is most familiar to us in the form
of fshingrods and light furniture, but in China
it is used for rails, ladders, fences, furniture,
masts for boats, buckets, water-pipes, scaffold.
ing, bodybuilding, and for practically every.
thing for which timber be used.
The young shoots are eaten boiled, from its
juice is made sugar and from its leaves mats
It's root stocks are eaten as cheap substitute for
ginger and the seed of some species is a substi.
tute for rice.
The timber which we should probably miss
most greatly were we suddenly deprived of it is
that of the fir and of the pine. All our common
joinery, winoow frames, doors, wainscotng and
hoorings are made of coniferous timber. Most
of this is supplied by America, and some from
Norway and Russia. The forests are being SO
recllessly cut that this timber rises in price year
by year Pine timber will run short long before
coal does, and what we shall do for a substitute
it is very hard TO say.
