Yes; sometimes a want ad reduces
a long task to a short one.
Mr.. kern's Whiskers.

Walt Mason in the Emporia Gazette
treats Mr.. Kern's whiskers disparag-
ingly. He says:
Mr.. Kern, the democratic nominee
for vice president, is doubtless a good
and great man, but the fact that he
has borrowed or purchased Mr.. Fair
banks whiskers for political purposes
will prejudice the voters against him.
The fact that the infatuated states
man of Indiana regards chin whickers
as necessary to political purposes is
something that defles philosophical
analysis. Before the campaign is
ended Mr.. Kern will realize that he
has made a mistake. The voters have
their artistic instincts, as well as theiI
patriotic ambitions, and they will re
buke all varieties of chin whiskers al
the polls.

WHEN THEY TELL BRYAN.
Lincoln Capitol Grounds Ssene OF
Notificaton-Bia Crowds to Come.

Notifcation-Big Crowds to Come.
Lincoln, Neb, July 25.-Special to
The News: August 10, 1908, will be
day long to be remembered in Lin
coin if the plans being made by local
democrats are carried out. On the
two other occasions on which William
J. Bryan has been notified of his nom
ination for president of the United
States it has been found eXpedient
to hold the notification ceremonies in
other cities. This year Bryan's
home town" is to be the scene of the
notification and elaborate prepare
lions are under way.
The first idea was to hold the eXer-
cses at Fairview, but reflection has
convinced all that the single car line
would be quite inadequate to the task
of transporting the crowds that will
undoubtedly be in Lincoln at that
time, drawn both by the state fair and
by Bryan. SO arrangements are be-
ing made for holding the exercises on
the capitol grounds-the scene of the
great non-partisan demonstration
when the Bryans returned from their
journey around the world. Governor
Sheldons consent to this has not yet
been obtained, but it is thought that
there will be no difficulty along this
| line.
The program on the capitol grounds
will probably begin about o'clock in
the afternoon. A big parade will
either precede or follow it, The old
Bryan home guards have been re-
organized and will act as escort Of
honor TO Mr.. Bryan. Prominent WISH
tors from all over the country are ex-
pected, as well as large delegations
from all parts of Nebraska.
Among those who will be invited TO
occupy platform seats at the cere-
mony are Chairman j. e. Miller of the
Commercial club board of directors,
National Committeeman =. l.. Hall,
Mayor Brown, the various officers of
the Bryan Volunteers state organiza-
ton and of the Lincoln Bryan club
and representatives from the state,
county, city and congressional dis
trict committees.
Mr.. Bryan has as yet written none
of his speech of acceptance, though he
has been thinking the matter over
somewhat during his leisure moments
He will not write his speech until
after the publication of the speech OF
acceptance of Judge Taft, as he wishes
to have this before him during the
preparation of his own address. Mr.
Bryan has stated that his speech will
not necessarily be devoted entirely Il
the platform.

Bryan Gets a Poser.

Lincoln, Neb, July 25.-When
William Jennings Bryan opened a
letter addressed to the editor of the
Commoner this morning he found a
printed slip, sent out from an in
curing newspaper in the east:
viii your newspaper support
the Democratic ticket this year?
Did it support the Democratic
ticket in 1896? In 1900?
1t was a poser, but upon inquiry
Mr.. Bryan learned that the publication
in question was endeavoring to obtain
census of the change of opinions
of all the Democratic papers in the
country, and that presumably some
office clerk sent a slip to the Com
moner just because it was on the
list of papers.
Mr.. Bryan said that if he found II
necessary to reply he could state thai
in this one case it was a distinct
gain for him, as the Commoner die
not support the Democratic ticket II
| 1896 or 1900. 1t was then not in eG
istence.

no fire that morning save in small

were wearing, all went up in smoke
