BRYAN WILL WIN, BECAUSE

For twelve years he has stood the
best loved and the most cordially hated
Of any man in the public eye.
AS his friends have advanced from
love to worship and their numbers in
creased, his traducers have become less
virulent and their numbers have de-
clined.
In his sincerity, honesty and manhood
he has won the confidence of mankind
In the fight for public decency and the
elevation Of governmental standards he
has stood the invincible tribune of the
people.
Despite the most intolerant opposi-
ton he has risen with new honors and
face as serene as the dawn.
In his eye there CLEANS the glance Of
an honest man, whose heart beats in
unison with tho noblest aspirations of a
great people, and whose head is preg-
nant with high ideals and great hopes
for the economic emancipation of man.
He visited the crowned heads of the
world, and through the force of his ex-
allied personality demonstrated to them
the grandeur Of a free citizenship and
the divinity Of true manhood.
He is the mouth of the oppressed, the
heart of the benefactor, the head of the
leader and the conscience of humanity.
He has dared to- challenge the hosts
of privilege and through his daring and
honest manhood forced the malefactors
in the open, where the light of day has
withered their hopes and made them
surrender.
The people are crying for deliverance
from the hosts of special privilege. He
has heard that cry, and with the de-
votion Of the Spartan mother, the
strength of Hercules and the courage of
the gods he has championed their
cause.
The conscience of the nation is at
last awakened, and he is the voice of
that conscience.
II in this man the people of America
have not found a champion, where may
they hope to find m?-Omaha Chancel-

Augustus Haviland Of New York City,
who was not long ago one of the chief
advisors of the independence League,
says: 81 believe the action of the indie
pendence party in this campaign is sui
cidal. Mr.. Bryan represented and
represents nearly all the things the
independence League demands. l feel
that it was almost absurd for the indie
pendence party to place nominee in the
field. If Roosevelt had been renominated
i believe the vote would have been
quite equally divided. Republicans of
the league will stick by the new ticket
and the democrats will cast their vote
for Bryan. In this case feel that Taft
and the league will suffer by the new
ticket placed in the field

YELLOW EYE OF
STOMACH TROUBLE.

Observe the eye of person and you
can tell at glance whether their
digestion is good or not. The yellow
tint denotes condition of stomach UNI
rest and organic breakdown, which
call for immediate treatment. Every
days delay means getting further away
from health, and any honest medicine
man will admit makes the case so much
harder to cure. Don't commit this
blunder; take hold of your stomach
before it grows weaker, and give it the
very best treatment you can. The
Prosene Preparation is considered one
of the very best by druggists, doctors,
and patients, because while it does the
work of curing the disease it also acts
as a general tonic and builds up new
tissue, new nerve force, and new
strength. In that respect alone it has
great advantages over the ready-made
medicine. This Prosene treatment is
based on prescription, in which there
are three ingredients, but chief among
them is Prosene. The exact formula,
which the Cooper Pharmacal Company
of Chicago originated and are advertis-
ing, calls for: Prosene Compound, one
ounce; Compound Tincture of Cinchona,
one ounce; Sherry Wine, half pint.
To be mixed either in drug store or
home. Take a teaspoonful before meals
and at bedtime. Have Bell s. Robinson
mix this up for you.

Good reporters hardly ever go to the

unregenerate gets there. One unfor-
tunate recently visited the internal

something new. Seeing lot Of fellows

asked his Satanic Majesty why this was
done, and was both amused and edited

STRIKE SYMPATHIZERS
THROW EGGS AT CARS

CHESTER, Pa, April 1e.-Little dis
order developed here today in connec-
ton with the streetcar strike. Cars
were operated at intervals on nearly
all the lines of the traction company,
but there were few riders. Each car
was guarded by state police and there
was but one vigorous attack.
Soon after the cars were started a
crowd in Second street began throw
ing eggs at the men in charge of one
of them, and when the supply of eggs
gave out the throwers began using
sticks and stones. Mounted police
routed the disturbers and arrested
several men. Throughout the rest of
the day the strikers and their sympa-
thizers were satisfied to stand along
the streets and hoot at the police and
the men operating the cars.
Superintendent Jack of the Chester
traction company said tonight that
cars would be started on all lines on
regular schedule Tuesday.

FRANCE BRINGS PRESSURE
TO BEAR UPON THE TURK

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 19.-The
attempt OF the Turkish government to
regain control Of coal mines at Ereg1f.
a town of Asia Minor. 12S miles from
ConstantinopIe. in which a French
company Is Interested to the extent OF
s15,000.0 900. has led to a serious diplo-
matte difficulty.
The French government supports the
concessionaires. who decline to enter
tain the question OF a resale OF the
property until the porte provides proof
of its ability to bring forth the pur-
chase money, which. considering the
tmpoverishment of the Turkish treas
ury. is manifestly impossible.
In the meantime. France has closed
it's market to any Turkish loan. and
the French embassy has notified the
porte that France Will exact an in
demnity of s2.500 for every day that
settlement Is delayed. in addition to a
compensation of s3.SOO.OO0 for losses to
the company incurred by disturbances.
The incident has been the subject OF
more than ordinary attention because
of the attitude of Italy toward Tur-
key. as shown by the threatened dem
onstration by Italian warships in
Turkish waters.

CORN[RSTONFLAID
FOR SYNAGOGUE
Mayor Tay1or's Failure to APP
pear Is the Cause of
Much Speculation

At the exercises of laying the COR
B'nai David. at Nineteenth and valen-
cia streets yesterday afternoon. Patrick
Calhoun, president Of the United
Railroads, was one of the principal
speakers. Mayor Edward r. Taylor,
who was to have also addressed the
gathering. did not appear. He had
promised the arrangement committee
to be present and deliver an address.
Up to the last moment it was conf
IDENTIFY expected that he would arrive
and the whole program was held up In
consequence.
After a wait of nearly half an hour,
the program was carried through, after
which the people stood around and
waited for a chance to welcome the
city's chief executive. Still the mayor
did not come nor was any word sent
to explain his absence.
The reason for DIR. Taylor's nonap-
pearance at the exercises has thrown
the committee into sea of specula-
tions, and, as he could not be seen up
to late hour last night, the matter is
yet shadowed in doubt.
The cornerstone of the new edifice
was laid by Rabbi Levy A. Sugarman,
president of the congregation, and
Rabbi Berman. after which speeches
by Rev. d. Falk. Rabbi Berman, Rabbi
Levy, Patrick Calhoun. Rabbi Kaplan,
A. Sugarman, Rabbi Hepp and Rabbi B.
Meyerovich of Oakland were given. Mu-
sic was furnished by the Hebrew or
'phan asylum band and the pupils of the
private school of A. Matzkin.
The synagogue. which will cost
$4,000, is the first permanent Jewish
temple of worship to be erected in the
Mission since the fire. n
