ton. has given rise to the inquiry as
to the probability that the Commoner
would pass out of existence in case
Mr.. Bryan were elevated to the
presidency. Just u one of the inter-
esting things about the Commoner is
the fact that this possibility has been
anticipated with ar highly idealistic
reserve fund" which provides en-
ployes and stockholders with insur-
ance against loss of time or profit
during such period as the dis
tinguished first citizen of Lincoln may
occupy the White House.
This and other interesting circum-
stances are related in a current issue
of newspaper publishers organiza-
ton in the following graphic para
graphs:
THE Commoner does not occupy
palatial quarters, but the two little
editorial rooms present an interesting
picture. No money has been squan-
dered in furnishings and decorations.
Well worn oilcloth covers the floor Of
one room. and a faded old rug with
ragged edges does its best to ornament
the other. Two battered and worn
desks and a table. all Uttered with
newspapers and clippings, are the
principal articles of furniture. Dusty
sheafs of old newspapers are piled in
corners of the rooms. and the dingy.
yellow walls show marks of thousands
of journalistic wounds. Several heav-
lily constructed chairs and a typewrit-
er about complete the equipment. The
rental of the offices is understood to
be only $1,000 per<yea
Nevertheless the Commoner's
