You have stomach, is Gods birth

FRIDAY. MAY %, 1908.
Bryan Analysed.

In view OF the recent display of
blind worship of an overworshipped
idol on the part of Harrison county
Democrats, the following fattering
remarks concerning that former hero
of the La Platte, William j. Bryan,
by Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia,
are not without interest here:
Now, as to Mr., Bryan-what has
he said or done that was so extraor-
binary?
THE only thing that he ever said,
in all Of his oceans of talk, that peo-
pie remember was a quotation. The
crown of thorns' sentence was bor-
rowed, without credit, from some
one else.
I'm all his voluminous writing,
where do you find the expression or
thought that will live? His letters
from foreign countries, syndicated
by the newspapers, were in many in
stances not much more than trans
crIpts from guide books.
Let any man who would size. up
Mr.. Bryan as a thinker. statesman,
and leader study his book, The First
Battle
In 1904 he did the very things
which in that book he most hotly de-
nounced; and he utterly failed to fol-
low the patriotic course which he
marked out for himself In the book.
Between his present position and
platform, and that proclaimed in The
First Battle, the difference is radi-
cal, irreconcilable.
THE Bryan Of 1896 was a bold,
brilliant, enthusiastic tribune of the
people-a Rienzi in eloquence, cour-
age, and devotion to lofty ideal. In
that year l could stiAe my own feel
ing of humiliation, subordinatlng
self-interest to patriotism, and stump
Nebraska for Bryan, successfully,
adding nothing to the credit given
Watson.
But the Bryan of 1904, it was
impossible to defend, follow. or ad-
mire. The tribune weakened into
the party hack. The patriotic re-
former shrank into the calculating
politician. Party regularity had to
be maintained, for Bryan's own fut-
ure interest. Popularity. eloquence,
magnetic presence, personal infu-
ence. all had TO be given to a cause
which Bryan himself had said was
unworthy; and thus God-given tai
ents and glorious opportunity were
misused in order that personal am
bition should keep It's feet in the
beaten road Of political promotion.
The time may come when some
dauntless and consecrated leader of
the people viii have to wear crown
of thorns-but it will not be w. j.
Bryan. The time may come when a
hsart-broken following may look
through the mist OF weeping eyes and
see their beloved champion nailed to
the cross, but the victim will not be
the orator of Nebraska"
