Plain Facts for Those Who contem.
plate Voting for Mr.. Bryan.

In a recent speech Mr. Bryan reit-
crates his familiar assertion that his
denomination after two defeats showa
that his party still believes and in
dorses 1.-The principles l have been adj.

nized and declared by himself to DO
the negation and destruction of the
gold standard
1t Is true that Mr.. Bryan now says,
with characteristic stiffness, that
what he aimed at in 1896 was not de.
struction of the gold standard but
more money! His assertion is false
for what he aimed at then and what
he has never yet renowned, is the de-
struction Of the gold standard TIC

dard; we have commenced a war OF

If there is any one who believes
that the gold standard is good thing
or that it must be maintained, l warn

No man can vote for w. j. Bryan in
this campaign except on one of two
grounds. Either he must believe thai
Bryan still yearns to destroy the GOLD
standard, in which case he is unfit fol-
president; or else he must believe thai
Bryan was wrong then and knows bet

reasoner and an unsafe guide.

No Lonoer Editor BRYAN.

He is now William Jennings Bryan,
candidate, not candidate and editor in
imposing duality since the Denver con.
vention. The editor part of him is
retired by his own act He refuses to
| be responsible for all of the utterances
of his paper during the campaign, as
he cannot supervise and revise as he
has been wont to do, and something
might slip into the columns of the
Commoner which would compel him to
explain.
The change is not radical however,
and Mr.. Bryan runs no risk Of suffer
ing the catastrophe which has been
known in history to occur when the
editor was away and another had tenn
porary charge, with the effect of revo-
lutionizing all the political and other
tenets that had been formerly sup
ported. Brother Charles may be as de-
pendable and loyal as the Brother
Charles of the Taft family, and Rich
ard l.. Metcalf may be trusted without
fear, for is he not the author and
compiler Of 800 octave pages of a
volume entitled THE Real Bryan" in
which the candidate is made to appear
as sort of demigod?
The change is to endure only until
November according to Mr. Bryan.
Is it possible tine candidate anticipates
that he will have nothing to do after
the day of election, November 3, ex-
cept to once more assume the role of
the editor? Is such announcement
prophetic of defeat? Has intuition
told him that election Is impossible?
Does his sub-consciousness whisper of
victory for the Republican party? Or,
If elected, is 1t his purpose to again
assume the editorship of the Com
moner and thus make sure of having
at least one organ that will indorse
his policy in all things?

the Plant will contest. He was of
counsel for Mrs. Margaret J. Plant,
the widow of Henry Bradley Plant,
the aged railroad magnate. When Mr..
Plant died, in June, 1900, at New
Haven, Conn.,, his estate was worth
81, 100000. The point in the contest
was whether Mrs. Plant should re.
ceive an annuity of 100000 by the
terms of the will or have the will set
aside and get about 100000. The
contest depended on a codicil making
the heirs of Mr.. Plants six-year.old
grandson the residuary legatees and
tying up the fortune until the youngest
son of the grandson reached his ma
jority.
When the case came up for trial,
before Justice Leventritt, in the SUI
preme court, just seven years ago,
lawyers believed that the suit was a
doubtful one. The codicil could be
set aside if the will was offered for
probate in New York. Connecticut
was the only state in which such a
provision would be legal.
So the case turned on a question
of domicile-whether Mr.. Plant was

THE HORSE OR MOTOR?
What Kind Of Force for Flowing Shall
Be Used?

On the ordinary farm the animal is
still of greater service than any me-
chanica! force. The steam plow is
good on the large area, but the man
of small means and having under his
control a small farm will depend on
the horse or the OK, the mule or the
COW. Which kind he shall use must
be governed by the conditions under
which he works. 1t may be surpris-
ing to those living on the prairies of
the west to learn that even oxen are
still used for the work of blowing.
But on billy, stony land the OK is
still valuable for plow animal. The
fact that he is slow makes him the
more valuable, for when the pillow is
moving among stones and roots it is
better that it move slowly than rap
idly. But on the lands of the west,
says the Farmers Review, fast
moving animal is needed, and
the OK is outclassed. The same
variations apply to the use of plows
drawn by electric motors and to
greater plows driven by steam. Some
experiments have recently been made
in Germany to determine at just what
point the steam plow is more val
liable than the plow drawn by horses
or oxen. The conclusion is reached
that it Is impossible to make an esti-
mate. In the report the cost Of
power machinery for blowing and
cultivating small farms is said to be
prohibitive, but where farmers owning
large areas can cooperate and buy
steam pillow this is declared to be a
matter of economy.

Going DolDn
Into "Egypt''

God made the country, and man
made the town; and each environment
has, in many respects, decided advan-
tages over the other. After a number
OF strenuous years gyrating around in
the whirlpool of politics cesspool is
the proper world found myself
stranded on the shores Of receding
administration. I had already antici-
pated the occasion and had marked
out certain county in southern ILL.,
nois, on the borders Of that section
Of the state commonly known as
Egypt, as a sojourning spot for ut
least period Of two years.
A long time previous to this, while
spending summer vacation with .
friend who had been brought up in
that part of the country, had been
struck by the beauty and uniqueness
Of the locality, and had mentally Sc
lected it as an abiding place in case
I ever decided to live in the country
for awhile.
Before the retiring Of the admins
tration with which was connected
my plans were complete, farmhouse
rented, our household goods and gods
duly packed and labeled, all municipal
bridges burned behind lis, and with
every anticipation of the life to come
we turned our backs on that particular
form of insanity known as modern
flat life" and started for the country.
This remove was no sudden whim
on either my part or my wife's. Both
of us had builded air castles about
such an existence, and had often
talked of it in the darkened cells of
our expensive fiat, with its community
back yard, where sullen-eyed servant
girls hung out the weekly wash over a
miniature Sahara of ashes and barren
ness. Our front yard there consisted
