The second lieutenant and the

two sentries were the only per-
sons in the car whose heads APP
peared above the line of seats.
The sentries sat one at each door,
tn sir rifles within reach and a
pistol holster pulled around to the
fore. They gave no particular
eign of watchfulness, but they
were very wide awake as the
Lieutenant could plainly see
whenever he chose,
But the lieutenant did not
choose. Occasionally he glanc-
ed about the swaying car, not
too we'll lighted by the unsteady
kerosene lamps, but the young
mans thoughts were not held by
what he saw within the car or
the racing spaces Of light in the
darkness outside, that kept pace
with them tirelessly.
A telegram from the adjutant-
general the day before had called
them unexpectedly into service.
An ugly labor trouble in one Of
the cities threatened to prevent
the transportion of the United
States mails, and to tie up rail-
way service all over the state.
Their train crew had left a few
hours after starting, and the train
was coming on with a militiman
at the throttle and another hand
ling the shovel. A sergeant of
the company in the next car was
a telegrapher, so the train had
managed, in spite of the deser-
ton Of the crew, to come safely
along, though much delayed.
They would be the first compan-
les upon the scene, and a clash
with the mob was practically
sure. The sentry at the rear
door discussed in low tones this
probability with his fellow in the
doorway Of the next car and as
mind now dwelt upon it from
time to time he lifted up the rifle
and looked suggestively down
the sights.
BY throwing the seats back to
back and filling in between with
luggage, ammunition boxes and
other impedimenta, it was pos
sible for a man to make a very
tolerable bel. A number OF men
had put down their blankets on
the floor and lay sprawled out
there, some of them snoring sim

turned over matters to the first

case anything happened, and

Brysn's Strong En-
dorsement of f. l.. Fulton


L. l.. Fulton, of Oklaho-

Gratis, we believe is the peer

ing or dead.
Mr.. Bryan, however needs
no introduction to an Ameri-
can audience because not on
ly throughout the length
and breadth of our land, but
wherever the English tongue
is spoken, he is honored and
Ieyered as the greatest liv-
inc champion of the rights
OF the people.
Although twice defeated
for president, he is a stronger
grander and more influential
man today than he ever was,
and has a stronger hold up
on the hearts OF our people
than he ever had. Whether
or not in the wisdom of ap
all-wise Creator he will ever
be the President of the
United States, | donot know
but | believe | but voice the
sentiment OF not only all
persons here, but the bal

say that ii he is not our
President some time, we all
believe he should have been,
and in any event, | doubt
not that ii it could be left TO
a vote OF the citizens of our
great state OF Oklahoma, he
would be our President be-
yond a peradventure of a
doubt.
Fellow Democrats, fellow
citizens, permit me to intro
duce and present to you our
champion and our friend,
William Jennings Bryan
Mr.. Bryan said;
"Alr. Chairman, members

Daily Papers Zoo BIC.

This is great country, fast becom-
ing, in intelligence and morality, the
leader of the world. Daily occur
rences are promptly published and
circulated on their date, and would
be more profitably studied. ii the
daily papers did not have tae current
news mixed into such voluminous
columns of trashy matter that labor
ing people do not find time to hunt it
out and give 1t proper attention.
Sunday papers are of such sizes,
and so filled with horrible cartoons,
comicalities, doubtful literature,
sporting news, prize ring brutalities
and whisky advertisements, that 1t
makes us tired to hunt for current
news in the columns of forty or fifty
pages, but it is probable they could
not issue so largely and circulate so
cheaply If they did not have the sup
port such sources afford.
AS newspaper reader of many
years l believe it would be for the
benefit OF education. sociability. NOR
ais, religion and temperance, II these
papers would exclude from their coll
umns majority OF the stun they put
In print.
The Sunday papers put everything
before young people calculated to di-
vert their attention from the teach
ings of the schools, Sunday-schools
and the pulpit. A reformation In
newspaper literature Is much needed.
