Let no man den0unce Mr.. BRYAN. Such
men are necessary To human progress.

q protest but never the statesmen Of a

Of reform, but never the doers Of the

No AstroIoEer.
William H Taft is Of the Pilgrim
stuff-his IS the wisdom that makes the
ideal vision a living fact Tried in every
realm OF government tested in every de-
partment Of craftsmanship. he never vet
has failed. He IS a sk--ed seaman of
statesmanship who takes his reckoning
by the fixed stars Of human nature and
eXperience-not an uncertain astroloser
casting absurd horoscopes from mag
mary signs and symbols. And not once
on al his voyages has the reckoning he
has made been wrong; not once has a
single horoscope that Mr. Bryan has
cast been right.
