CAN'T DEFEAT BRYAN THIS WAY!

In view of the strong, loyal, mistaken
belief of the southern democrats in the
leadership of William Jennings Bryan,
it is amusing to note the occasional
attacks upon him by those who fear his
leadership more than they favor the
candidacy of anyone else.
This is always the situation. The
fayorite son movements were not start
ed by the admirers of the various south
ern democrats who have accorded such |
blooms polite recognition, but were in
every instance started outside the
state.
Always it is case OF opposition to
BRYAN; never of support primarily OF
some one else. Is not this the strongest
tribute that could be paid to the Ne
braskan?
Wnen the Kansas City Star announced
desperately "the south is arrayed
against him." it ignores practically
nfne-tenths of the interviews of prom
inent democrats whose opinions on the
subject of the next democratic nominee
have recently been given to the public.
Moreover, it overlooks the fact that
three-fourths of the membership of it's
senate has, upon being polled, expressed
preference for Mr.. Bryan as leader next
year. Champ Clark has hitched his
horse to the Bryan chariot and there is
little doubt that an overwhelming ma
joyity of the democratic voters of that
state will help pull.
Even those who take issue with some
of the principles which Mr.. Bryan has
enunciated, admit that no American
since Henry Clay has had stronger
hold upon the affections of the people.
In discussing the pre-eminent posi-
tion held by Mr.. Bryan, The Memphis
News-Scimitar declares:
Mr.. Bryan is stronger in the south
than was ever presidential candidate.
He is stronger even than was Andrew
Jackson, with all his prestige as MILL
tary chieftain and superb statesman.
He is stronger than ever was that
matchless leader, the Harry of the
Slashes, who was twice defeated for the
presidency, and both times by Tennes-
seeans.
He is stronger than was Zachary Tay-
lor. whom Louisiana claimed, and the
country elected.
He is stronger than was the superb
John G. Breckenridge, upon whose cast
of the die of destiny nation bathed in
blood.
Let not the other sections mistake
the south. 1t has ever been loyal to its
beliefs. 1t was with Calhoun in its
creed of secession. 1t was with JET
Davis in it's act of secession.
1t stood for Tilden, Hancock and ever
Parker.
From Virginia to Texas Mr.. Bryan
is stronger than any man who could b'
nominated from any southern state ant
infinitely stronger than any eastern
democrat who could be selected mex
year. Every bit of opposition to hin
has proven no more than a flash in tn
pan. Other 'booms" have gone up lik
a rocket and come down like stick
Bryan's light has CLEANED with undi
minished brilliancy. There will be n
difficulty in locating him when the com
mittee representing the democrati
national convention sets out to cal
upon him next year to formally conve
the news of his nomination.

BEST OF PROOF.
That Hyomel Will Cure All Forms
of Catarrhal Diseases.

Testimonials could be printed by the
many of them from Leon and
other nearby towns, that Hyomei is an
absolute cure for all catarrhal troubles,
but the best proof of it's unusual cura-
tive powers is the guarantee that L. P.
Van Werden will give with every outfit
that he sells, money back if Hyomei
does not do all that is claimed for it,"
Hyomei is not secret remedy. Its
formula is given freely to physicians
who want to know what they use when
they prescribe Hyomei. 1t is guaranteed
under the Pure Food and Drug Law by
serial No. 141S.
By breathing Hyomei, the healing
medicine goes directly to every nook
and corner of the air passages where
the catarrhal germs may Turk, and dis
infects and heals. To be convinced of
this you have only to give it a trial,
remembering that if it does not cure,
L. P. Van Werden will refund your
money.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, and in most cases is sufficient to
cure the disease, making it not only
scientific treatment but one that is
highly economical. Get an outfit to-day
from LIP. Van Werden if you have
catarrah.

A press dispatch from Palo Alto, Cali

A press dispatch from Palo Alto, Cali
fornia, says:
Luther Burbank has presented the
university with a box of apples contain
ing seventy-three different varieties,
all grown on the same tree. This re-
markable production of one tree is the
result of several years experimenting
by Burbank. The tree was grated up
on from the time it was mere sapling.
The apples were exhibited by DR.. Jor-
dan before his class in biology, and
there were apples of all sizes and col
ors displayed. Some of the apples are
fine eating, while others are small and
not marketable.

DUE ENTIRELY TO GREED
And II Feeds Upon the Prosperity
Of the Country Towns-A
Menace to the
Nation,

Copyrighted. 1906. by Alfred C. ciark.)
As the years go by we are more
than ever brought face to face with
the vital question OF trading at home
During the past decade the habit of
buying goods abroac. has grown to
such proportions that the country
merchant may well feel alarmed at
the probable outcome unless something
is done to forestall the great calamity
which will surely result therefrom.
Trade conditions 25 years ago were
satisfactory. At that time catalogue
houses were entirely unknown and
country merchants were ''monarchs Of
all they surveyed" SO to speak, in the
lines represented. and the people were
prosperous and happy. Perhaps not
so much because they generally had
money enough to meet their wants,
but because OF the contentment that
prevailed throughout the country at
that time. The farmers raised good
crops, generally, and received good
prices for what they had to sell. They
sold their surplus stun to the local
merchant and bought what they
wanted; and this was the height Of
The Dolores star., 1907-05-10

their ambition. hence the contentment
that prevailed.
But in after years. when cities
grew and trade expanded, the mer-
chants of these cities not being con-
tent with conditions Of trade, devised
plans by which they might reach out
for more business. Advertising in the
newspapers being cheap way Of
putting the merits of their goods be-
fore the people. this plan appealed to
them and 1t was adopted. At first they
operated on small scale; then, as
the merchant saw the opportunity for
making 1t pay, he added to his adver-
tising fund. And SO 1t has continued
until to-day millions of dollars are
annually sent to mail order houses by
the people of the United States.
The best and most effective way to
throttle the catalogue house has been
q question uppermost in the minds Of
country merchants for several years
past: some advocating one plan and
some another. There are several plans
which might be presented to induce
the farmer to buy at home. In the
first place his pride might be appealed
to. There are very few farmers who
own their own farms but that would
be interested in building up his own
locality. He realizes the fact that II
his farm is to be valuable 1t must be
farmed in the most scientific manner
and all buildings, fences, etc, must be
kept up in the best possible shape,
and above all the farm must be To-
Gated not too far from some good
town, for we all know that farm land
brings a much better price when near
to some good town or village. 1t is
not hard to get the farmer to realize
this, for II he ever sold any farm land
or tried to sell any, he knows this to
be q fact. Well. then. after he has
realized this fact, the thing for him
to do il to patronixe his home mer-
chants and business men. SO they may
be able to build and maintain good
town.
Public schools are much better in
the towns than in the country for the
reason that where the population is
most dense. there is more taxable
property to the amount OF territory
covered, hence there Is more money
collected for school purposes, and as
result more and better teachers are
( employed. All this IL of the highest
importance to the farmer, a. most

describe his merchandise as he would

price. This will nearly always act as
a clincher and will at least put him
on a standing with the catalogue

vantage over the catalogue house, for
in almost every case he can sell the
same grade of merchandise cheaper
than the catalogue house can sell it.
