Nobody with brains enough to get In

with the argument SO complacently put
forth by some Of the Bryanites who
want to humbug others into believing
what they don't believe themselves
that Bryan can do no harm should he
be elected The usual way Of putting
1t Is that there will be Republican
senate and probably Republican
house and that Bryan's hands will be
tied even II his tongue continues to

But it Is not true. A grammar school
boy who has studied the constitution
Of the United States knows that or
course Bryan as president in face OF
sane congress could not pass laws. But
the whole administration Of national
laws, including their enforcement,
which IS ut least as important as pass
Ing them, would be in his hands. He
would have the treasury under bis
thumb; the national banks would be
at the mercy Of comptroller Of the
currency appointed by him; the foreign
policy Of the government would be d.
rected by him. and ambassadors. min
listers and cOnsuls would be named by
him. The army and navy would be un-
der his command. Collectors. postmas-
tiers and other officials of the civil serv-
Ice would be nominated by him. While
he could not establish "a tariff for rev.
enue only" he could make things much
smoother and easier for the class that
come back from European trips loaded
with all sorts OF luxuries purchased
abroad to the detriment Of American
labor
Then he could smash any bank that
might offend him by not going into his
compulsory guarantee scheme. just as

much harm that 1t might take the coun'

he will not have the opportunity. be-

party. the impartial judge. the con

IN thu Grand Stand.

Shortly after Bob and Nellie became
engaged Nellie insisted on going to
ball game.
81 just dote on baseball" she told
Bob.
"Rather sudden, isn't it?" asked Bob,
who liked to sit on the bleacbers, where
he could see better and seats were cheap
or. When fellow 10 engaged to be mar
ried he'd better be counting up the COST
of everything-even base ball games.
"But you know, Bob, now that were
engaged and know we're going to live
with each other all our lives, l must take
an interest In the things which interest
you"
Now, wasn't that nice of Nellie?
So they went to the game and sat In
the grand stand.
"Hhat's that?" asked Nellie, as q bat
ter popped up a little fly back Of the
catcher.
"Tbat's foul" said Bob.
"a foul! Oh, my. And what's that
thing he's pounding with his batP"
"That's the plate-the home plate"
"Oh, Bob, what did he do thenP"
And Nellie clapped her hands joyously,
as she saw the other ladies do.
HE pounded out fly" said Bob.
"Base ball reminds me Of the kitchen.
I'm so glad came"
1.-THE kitchen?"
"Yes-the batter, the fouls, the plate
and the flies.'
"Oh, Lordv' sighed Bob. TRY to
become interested in the real points OF
the game, dear. Keep your eye on the
diamond"
"The-diamond? Nellie's eyes sought
her left hand. "You-you didn't give
me one, Bob-nothing but plain gold
band"
Bob kicked himself and wished he'd
left Nellie at home.
"Watch the struggle now, Nell; keep
track of the hits, see how the men 60
out, and, finally, the difficulty some OF
them have in getting home"
"Oh, Bob, that's just like marriage,
isn't it?"
"What?"
"Why, the men going out and the
difficulty in getting home"
"Say, I'm tired of this game; it's no
good" said Bob. "Let's CO."
And all the way back to town Nellie
was wondering why he looked so sour
