shows that both Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
have become wonderfully broadened as
result of their trip, a statement so
often heard within the past few
months.
Few homes in the larger cities of
the more effete East can boast of so
many beautiful examples of art. Gems

their way to Fairview, and many Of
these were presented to the Com

of ceaseless toll MIR. Bryan has reached

Bryan, and to-day his fortune is vari-
ously estimated at a figure anywhere
from one to five hundred thousand dol

Bryan is mum. always evading it when
possible.
How did 1 get it?" he replied to
recent question. "Why. by dint of hard,
nerve tracking work-that is how"
And those who know him best declare
that this is true.

Mrs. Bryan is that she is one of us
and never gives herself airs. even
though w. j. is making money hand

Mrs. Bryan has educated her daugh
ters to lives of usefulness, and each
has put into practise that which their
mother has taught them. Young Bryan
is a splendid, manly fellow. who is
one of the most popular men at the
University of Nebraska. He and his
father are close chums, although WIN
cannot quite understand why his father
seeks TO reside in the White House
when he has such home as E'airvew.
To VIII, Fairview is Paradise, and
while he acknowledges that his father
is born farmer. he is looking forward
to the day when the reins of govern
ment at Fairview shall be turned over
to him. that he may put into practise
the many theories on farming he has
so asslduously studied while at college.

Mr. Bryans foreign tour was an
other stepping stone to wealth, for.
"hiie en- tour, he published series
OF syndicated letters that made his
trip a most profitable, one. Thus It
can be seen that whatever Mr. Bryan
has accumulated has been done since
he reached middle age, and all has
been done by his own efforts.
When the organs were residents Of
Lincoln and the future was less rose
ate than 1t is to-day. Mr.. and. Mrs.
Bryan often made excursions out into
the country. These little excursions
were inexpensive, and, then too,
some little spot in the country where
a home could be builded, and Mr.. Bryan
could engage in the pursuit closest to
his heart. To be a successful farmer
had ever been his ambition. and this,
unlike one other ambition, has been
realized.
One spot always appealed strongly
to Mr., and Mrs. Bryan, and that was
in the vicinity of Antelope Creek,
which skirted little settlement known
az Normal. about twelve miles from
Lincoln.
Here's where we will build our
home, mother when we have the
money" was the comment Mr.. Bryan
invariably made after reaching this
pretty spot. That was many years ago.
and upon each return to the modest
little home in the muddy little Lincoln
street the Bryan family would gather
about the open fireplace and There
build their castle. That this castle
was not founded on air time has
proved, for seven years ago Mr.. Bryan
purchased five acres of land abutting

That SHY Threat.

The Democratic newspaper makes
the amazing threat that II the saloon
men OF Clarksburg do not vote the
way It and the Democratic party
want them to do, they viii put all
the saloons out OF business next
year and the business men Of
clarksburg will use pop and soda
water as a beverage.
This remarkable threat is made
after the News wastes column cen.
surfing the council for turning down
certain licenses on the alleged
grounds that the applicants opposed
the Republican ticket, But, next
time, II they do not all vote the
Democratic ticket, the Democrats are
to turn them all out.
Such argument as the News puts
up in this particular is more the pro.
duct of a raylng maniac than any
thing else a sane man can think OF,
1t condemns the council for doing in
a slight degree what it says Its
bunch win do to the fullest extent ii
the saloon men do not vote the way
that bunch wants them to. silly ar

johnson, the Democratic leader in
the city council, reserves the right
to vote for license, when 1t suits him,
and to vote against license, when it
suits him. But, the Democratic pa
per does not accord the Republican
members the same right. Forum
ately the Democratic paper does not
control the Republican members of
the council, nor does Mr.. johnson do
so either. Besides the Democrats
elected two members to the city coun-
ell this year and of that number hall
voted against Kraft, Spellman and

fore, no occasion to censure the Re
publican members for exercising the
same rights that the Democratic

Good Roads nd Once.

Such rich county as Harrison
next to the wealthiest In the state
certainly can well afford to have far
better public roads than it now pos
sesses.
The road question is non-partlsau
aud should be treated by all from
that viewpoint, as every one is vital
ly interested in good thoroughfares.
This last clause is one that none dare
dispute.
There may he a few who would
say that the question does not con-
Germ them as they have no travelling
to do, no hauling to do, and do not
use the public highways, Dut there is
where they labor under a grave mis-
take, for 1t is a fact beyond dispute
that they are all paying for bad
roads, that is they are suffering be
cause Of them. There is a drain on
their pocketbooks, though Invisible it
may seem.
Residents of suburban places here
pay dearly. The wholesale man
sends out his team in early morning
with q load Of goods for the retail
man. in Grasselll, in Tin Plate, in
Northview, even in Point Comfort,
in other places. 1t takes hours to
deliver the goods, most times as long
TO deliver one load as it would three,
four or five, If the roads we're good.
Some one pays the freight for this.
1t may be the consumer does not pay
all the freight but he pays for some
of 1t, as the prices OF foodstulrs
must necessarily be higher than II
lie roads were good for quick con-
veyance OF goods. Then, though the
consumer does not use the road, bad
roads come high to him.
The wholesale merchant suffers by
bad roads. lie can not do as much
business, he cannot because of that
run the prices up too much on the
retail merchant. And in turn the
retail merchant suffers. lie cannot
get his goods readily and, therefore,
doubtless sells fewer. Besides. he
cannot run the prices up to high
figure to the consumer. Thus, it is
seen that wholesaler, retailer and CON
sumer all suffer alike because Of bad
roads,
There are many other features in
connection with this subject impress.
