than six per cent, and further, after
the first day of July, 1909, no farmer

will be notified to leave the country
under penalty of death; that all mer-
chants shall sell their goods and mer-
chandise not to exceed ten per cent

to be paid by the farmer for help and
regulating the price of all farm prod
ucts.
The bylaws show that the organiza-
ton comprises not only the night rid
ers of Obion county, but includes all

RrYan In Illinois.

What, We wonder, Is the real, inside
explanation Of this aTectionate rap
proehement Of the Hon, WILLIAM j.
BRYAN Of Nebraska and the Hon. ROGER
c. SULLIVAN Of Chicago2
Only very little while ago, compare
lively speaking, we had Mr.. BRYAN in the
act Of demanding Mr.. SULLIvAN's elim7
nation as a person unworthy TO lead a
plre Democracy such as he, BRYAN,
could consistently recognize. Mr.. Sui
LIvAN appeared to be very wicked man,
whether corrupt himself or anathema
only because he did not play up to Mr..
BRYAN's leadership did not appear, at
least TO US outsiders. At all events
BRYAN perceived his iniquities and would
be content with nothing less than his
immediate and lasting downfall Mr..
SULLIVAN, instead Of falling, remained
particularly erect, and now we have the
spectacle Of these two great men ap-
parently entwined In a iervent embrace.
Mr.. BRYAN wants the Illinois delegation
instructed for himself and Mr. SULLIVAN,
mysteriously fumigated and otherwise
made acceptable to the Peerless, COM
mands the reconstructed situation.
What has been done 10 SULLIvAN-or
TO BRYAN--in the meanwhile that he who
was once obnoxious should now be ac-
ceptable? The NebraskG -atesman, ac-
cording to all accounts, /, as severely
pure a. ever Sullivan, for all we
know or can see or hear, is as tough as
ever. We cannot be sure that he was
ever an anti-Bryan man. We must
assume therefore that he sinned in meth
ods and details and it is obvious that
BRYAN has forgiven him. But why?
That Is and remains the question.
Nevertheless il SULLlvAN's control
over the Illinois convention was SUI
preme, it seems just little strange that
such a mild support was given 10 the
Nebraska Colonel. Judge OWEN THoMP-
SON of Jacksonville arose to introduce
resolution Of especial force, binding the
delegates to support BRYAN first, last and
all the time, and Judge OWEN THOMPSON
was politely but, eiectually suppressed.
Where was Supreme Control SULLIVAN
at this critical juncturo! Things may be
as smooth on the surface as they look,
Maybe not.
Meanwhile there is TO be a contest at
Denver over the twenty delegates from
Chicago, SULLIvAN's peculiar premises.
What is more, this contest seems likely
TO prevail.
So, what with the lukewarm instruc-
tions to the regulars and the prospect Of
twenty of them being replaced by others
with different instructions, the perihelion
Of SULLIVAN and BRYAN would seem to
present some more or less important
flaws. But it is all a perplexing tangle
at this distance We must wait,

Ministers Of religion and ministers OF

to my duties as citizen no change has

Government of the United States was then,
