The GREAT
LEADER
Spoke at Depot Yesterday After
noon to an Enthusiastic Crowd
Praises The Constitution
Mondays DailyJ

CNondays DanyJ
Hon, VIM. j, Bryan passed
through the city aoain yesterday,
returning from Hobart to Chick
asha, where he spoke last night
in their Chautauqua on "The
Old World and It's Ways" The
east bound was ten minutes late,
which gave the people time to
gather on the platform to greet
him.
AS the train pulled in, there
was some uncertainty and run
ming about because it was not
known in which car Mr.. Bryan
was. However, the seekers
presently became aware of soft
hat surmounting a fine face, ard
perceived that he stood in the
midst Of them. He took his sta,
tion on the car steps, and with
simple attitude Of waiting stilled
the shouting ones in the crowd.
Then Mr.. Bryan said in sub.
stance: Gentlemen, ] want to
congratulate you upon the splen-
did constitution that your con.
vention has given you. l think
it is the best constitution in all
respects that | have ever seen,
and am something of a Judge
Of constitutions, having given a
great deal of study to that of my
owr state and of the United
States. l am proud that the
Democratic party has written it,
and wish | could come down
here and vote for it.
! want to congratulate you up
on your state, that is starting outl
under such favorable conditions
II were a young man | would
come here to live.
What you people want now is
to vote upon your constitution
as soon as your judges get
through with it and become a !
state, for then you can have your
own governmrnt and your own
things as you want them.
The best thing in your consti-
tuition is the initiative and referen-
dunn clause, for then if anything
else be wrong, you can change
it. Remember, the best thing in
this best constitution is this in
itative and referendum, reserving
the power to people, for the
people can always be trusted to
look out for their own interests"
At this point in the little talk
man standing above Mr.. Bryan
on the platform patted the Nebr-
askan on top Of his head which
is now getting pretty bald. Mr..
Bryan looked up with a merry,
friendly glance; it was clear that
the great Democrat was not Of
Tended, but took it in the spirit
in which the man meant it.
Then for the few minutes the
train remained, the crowd press
ed upon him to shake hands.
One man shouted that he was
shaking hands with the next
president of the United States, at
which Mr.. Bryan smiled again.
Then in the cheers of the onloo!s-
ers, the train moved out.

in the then western state Of
Illinois, he removed to Neb-
raska in 1887 and was elect
ed to congress in 1890, at
30 years of age. He was two
terms there and his official
service ended.
Then began an unofficial
service to the American peo-
pie that has made Bryan
greater with each succeeding
year, until today he is the
foremost American. He has
seen himself beaten twice for
the presidency and the vic
toriOus party compelled
through the force OF public
opinion to adopt one by one
the principles for which
he stood and stands today.
He has seen his detractors,
the implacable servants Of
the public remembrance as
he grew IN the love and con-
fidence of the American peo-
pie. Bryan needs no Office
to make him great. 1t is
probable that he will neverI
be president. He does not
have to be, so long as those
who defeat him at the polls
are compelled to do the
things for which he stands
and it is by no means sure
that he ever wants to be. !
Possibly, he would like the
compliment of an
election to the presidency, |
but there is no man in
America today whose ambi-
tion is more unselfish, who
cares as little for the office
an as much for the cause.
Bryan has matured and !
ripened in these years. When |
he was first a candidate for
the presidency he was 36I
years old; ON the 18th day |
OF last March, he was II.
And, as happens to super
fine natures, his hard eXper-
fences, defeats and fierce
battles have made him
sWeeter and kinder and more
than ever a lover of his peo-
pie rather than embittering
him. I'm wisdom and |
and unselfishness,
he stands in the front today, !
and the cause of the plain
people can have no other
leader because BRYAN per-
sonifies and voices their
as no other man can
do it.

The Knocker


AS we pass along through
this world OF tears, bills to
be paid, and seldom easy
places, it occurs to us that
one trial might well be spar
ed suffering humanity with
out any loss, except, poss-
IDLY a training in patience.
We refer to the knocker.
The knocker is essentially
a hog. He is always on the
crouch because people make
the mistake OF expecting him
to do what public spirited
citizens will do in the COM
munity, and what in his CON
science he knows he ought
TO do. When you go to the
knocker for a subscription
for an oil mill. or some 9TH
er strong aid in the making
OF the city, he will tell you
that the town is a dead one,
that it has never grown any
since its beginning, and that
he helped it by putting mp
an $500 residence for his
family. He gets into u state
OF extraordinary eXhalta-
tion about how much he has
given at former times that
is only equalled by his in
dignation when you ask him
to specify how much. Then
he turns your boosting COM
mittee down hard, throws
in n sneer as to their intelli-
gence in thinking the town |
will ever amount to any
thing, and stands by to hog
all the benefits due to other
peoples enterprising efforts.
The knocker is a fraud |
and a sore one. He knocks |
in order to excuse himself
in his own eyes, and then
gets mad when the excuse
don't work and knocks
more. He is a load on the
town, n weak, pitiful pessi-
mist, whose only pleasure is
to see someone else in trou-
bic. Ii one-twentieth OF his
prophecies could come true,
this would be a hell, fit only
for the damned.
We are all wise as to the
knocker. People 90 into
his place OF business ignor-
antly the first time, and
then never except i'll the
most urgent cases. And
none OF us can make any
other suggestion in regard
to him except to stay away
from him or hire him to stay
away from MS and toboosting
committees, the only course
possible is TO dint him in
where his brains ought to
be and to Jolt him hard |
where they are.

AL violators Will be Punished

Atlanta, Ga.-An violators of the
state prohibition law in Georgia will
find chain gang sentence confront
ing them if the views of Governor
HoBe Smith are carried out. This
much was evidenced by the action of
the chief executive when he declined
to sanction atpresent the recommends
ations of the pardon board which
were for the commutatitn OF. parties
who had been convicted of the illegal
sale of whiskey.
Governor Smith has often in his
speeches declared that the only way
to suppress the illegal sale of whiskey
in Georgia was by sentencing offend
ers to the chain gang. The recon-
mendations that Governor Smith has
held up were for T.. R. Varnadoe, OF
