The Fear of bryan.

The fear that the election OF Bryan
will turn back the hands OF the pros
perity clock. no one knows how many
years, is obvious all over the country
and the feeling is shared by business
men and laborlng men alike.
Samuel Rosenthal OF Baltimore, Of
the firm OF Strouse & Brother, one OF
the largest clothing manufacturers In
the country, has expressed the belief
that the prosperity Of the country and
the steadlness Of business depend on
the election OF Taft Although Dem
ocrnt OF many years standing, Mr.. Ro-
senthnl says he will vote for the Re.
publican candidates.
In Omaha railroad man-one In
the ranks-was listening to Bryan
make one Of his big campaign speeches.
He stayed until Bryan began to attack
Roosevelt and to ask what has Roose.
welt ever doneT The railroad man
quit the meeting, procured Taft badge
and pinned II on his coat In place OF a
Bryan button, which he threw away.
lie said he had intended to vote for
Bryan. but that Taft would get his bal
lot
The state herald., 1908-10-30

The thousands who formerly voted
for Bryan, but who refuse to endorse
that candidates latest plea to be elect
ed President, include thinking men of
all occupations and conditions In life.
They are now convinced that Bryan Is
too unstable and impractical to be en-.
trusted in power. They like to hear
him talk, but they tremble at the
thought OF him In the White House.
As the campaign has neared the fin
lsh the defectiOns from the Democratic
party In favor of Taft and Sherman
have gained In volume and 1t has been
easy to see the steady drift away from
Bryan. With his old followers leaving
him, the cleveland Democrats" still
refusing TO heed his advice, and the
absolute failure TO add new recruits TO
his cause, the chances OF the Nebras-
kan for success have decreased steadily
as Nov. 3 approached.

Diana of PHILADELPHIA.

At the mint in Philadelphia there
are TO be seen coins far more precious
than any which find their way into cir
culation. These form . collection of
curics, and many of them date from
times Of great antiquity.
Perhaps the most Interesting of
them is a handsome cotin bearing on
its face the profile of woman, which
has a striking resemblance to the
Goddess of Liberty of cur own coun-
try. Underneath is the single word
Demos" which is the Greek for
"the people"
On the reverse side of the coin
is a beautiful figure of the Goddess
Dianna, arching her bow, and the
inscription, translated into English,
reads, Dianna, Friend Of the Philadel-
phians."
This coin was minted some 1000
years ago at the city of Philadelphia,
in Asia Minor, where, as we know,
there grew up in later years one of
the seven churches of which st. John
writes. The prize WAC discovered
some years ago in EuroEe by a Mr..
Mickey of Philadelphia. By him it
was appropriately presented to the
mint at Philadelphia

when the men themselves know that
it is undeServed and that toe term
"bad fellows" would more nearly fit
their case. OF course there are hosts
upon hosts of men-far more than the
world at large know of-who are in
truth good fellows In every sense of
the word, but it is fact, nevertheless,
that in numerous instances the deSig-
nation applied to them whose only
title there is won at the cost of dis
quiet and anxiety at home and among
friends and possibly Of broken hearts
and ruined lives. Viewed from mere
ly the selfish standpoint young man
cannot afford to be known as a good
fellow as the term is commonly un-
derstood, much less to be one. In its
proper sense of being an agreeable
companion, everyone should endeavor
to be such and the first place in which
to show this good fellowship is the
home.

Henry Loock, the delivery man. was
driving along east on this street when
the horse began to bear into the
curb to the left He began to pull on
the right line in an effort to bring the
animal to the center of the street,
but all his effort was unavailing
when near the electric light pole the
animal fell in pool of water stone
dead.
Whlle 1T is not known definitely
just what caused its death. it is be-
lleved to have been electrocuted with
out any wire apparently at hand to
produce the current. At this particu-
lar corner it isstated that the electric
light has been burning all day and act
ing very peculiarly, Just what the cause
was is unknown, but some offer the
opinion that a current was formed be-
tween the light and the guy wires of
the pole and that the horse was drawn
into and electrocuted while passing
through this current, That the cause
of death was electricity is vouched for
by two who placed their hands on the
animal at the time it was killed, and
who are said to have been shocked in
consequence
The electric light men, who were
called to the place shortly after, were
at a loss to account for the accident,
and post norton will be held on
the horse to ascertain the cause of its
death.

COUNCIL TAKES NO ACTION
Refuses to Commit Itself by
Actinq on tax Remission

The common council met in ad
journed session Tuesday eveningto con-
slider the question of remitting the
tax on $4,000 of the valuation of the
Centralia Pulp & Water Power Co.,
and also the special sewer tax of 81 300
This matter was brought up last
week by Atty. B. E. Goggins on be-
half of the said company, and an ad-
journment was taken so that each
alderman might talk with his consti-
tuents and ascertain the true rights
and justice of the request.
Atty. B. r. Goggins argued the
proposition for the company and
claimed that the tax was an unjust
one, and the sewer tax in his belief
an illegal one. The inference drawn
was to the effect that the company
would contest the assessment in the
courts in case the council refused to
act.
Mayor Wheelan took the floor in op-
position to the argument made by
Mr.. Goggins. He stated that the city
attorney had been instructed to look
the matter up and upon the references
be had furnished, he himself had
taken the occasion to investigate the
matter. In the absence of the city
attorney, whom 1t was expected would
be on hand, he took the occasion to
state the position as it appeared to
him from legal standpoint. He de-
MED the ,illegality of the tax, and
stated that it involved question that
should be decided, and it was his
opinion that the city was right in the
premises.
The council refused to take any &C
ton.
