A third defeat for the Presidency
does not In the least lower the intel
iectual or moral standing of William
Jennings Bryan. As a private citizen
he Is superior 20 many OF the men who
have been honered with the Presi-
dency.
Virtue aud woyth do not always
meet with immediate triumph. The
only Perfect Man the world has ever
known was rejected by the majority
aud shamefsliy erucified.
In the defeat of Mr. Bryan the party
of principle was iriumphed over by the
party OF greed and the almighty dol
lar. Multiplied thousands Of men who
believed In the Democratic candidate
and the platform for which he stood,
voted against him because, mporari-
ly at least, as they declared, the busl-
ness CT the country would be democrat
lied IN the event of his election. They
were perfectly aware Of the presence
OF the caueerous ulcer that threatens
the vitality Of the nation, but deter
nainsd To postpone the temporarily
painful operation OF its removal This
is the meaning of the popular verdict
At the poll'.
Thus Que of The purest men II, Amer
lean life, present or pact, was the vic
tim Of commercialism that recog-
Mics neither God nor morality.
No man in American life WAS ever
more idoliged by the people. Yet it is 4
peculiar fact OF our national history
that popular Idols who have aspised
TO the Presidency have almost invar-
iably been disappointed.
Henry Clay wss thought much of
by the American people, and yet he
was defeated for this high office in
1884 by James X. Polk, man or or
binary ability aud limited aequainl-
anee with the public.
Again, James q. Blaine, The "plun..
ed knight of Ma ne, and an isesl
American statesman, when he was en-.
Joying the acme OF his marvellous pep.
uisrity IN 1884, was defeated Wy an oh
sours man who had bean elevated
from the snnffaity Of Erie sousty to
the governorship Of New York.
| And the Fearless Bryan, the beloved
Comm oner, has been defeated by the
chief clerk OF tbs Roosevelt admInis-
trstion.
Truly, such are the pranks played
by fate.

neither Democrats nor Republicans

A shooting episode Is reported from
the Stony Man neighborhood Of Page
county, Va, in which the victim, a
woman clad In mans clothing, it is
alleged, was shot by her brother, the
woman at the time, II is said, having
been found taking corn from her
brothers field A Luray physician
was called and extracted about 40
shot from the woman's body. The
facts became known Saturday in Lu-
ray, and Efforts to obtain the particu-
lars from persons living In the neigh
borhOod were futile, From what can
be learned it appears that well
known and prosperous farmer had
been hothered recently by thieves
raiding his corn fields. He according
ly concealed himself in the field, and
had waited only short time when
several figures emerged from the
shadow Of a clup of trees. Contentins
himself with awaiting further develop
ments, the owner kept quiet until the
vessels carried by the maruders were
filed. He then called for a surrender
In the STAN pede the woman was
