Mr.. Bryans intention 10 attempt ev-
erything he advocates. 1t may have
been this abiding belief in his sim
certify of purpose that determined the
country to twice refuse him the office.
With propriety the Democratic party
has agreed TO let Mr.. Bryan run the
convention and choose his own plat
form. With two candidates thus
fairly known, each standing on a
platform of his own construction, the
country should have no difficulty in
making a selection.
Just as truly as President ROose-
welt dominated the Republican ma
tional convention, il can be predicted
that Bryan will rule at Denver. Al
ready he has dictated the convention
organization and he has two-thirds of
the delegates at his beck and call.
II President Roosevelt dominated
the Republican convention, he did II
from no selfish motive. He did not
seek Office for himself In fact, II
required the firmest resistance on his
part TO prevent his own nomination.
He has no selfish interests to serve
through administrative influence. The
men, who have. opposed Roosevelt's
choice. The man he and a vast ma
iority of his party selected has proved
his strength. not only in delicate
Offices OF state, but in the ordeal of
factional contest. II he has a weak
ness. II is fully exposed. His oppon~
ents in his own party left nothing un-
covered that would demonstrate his
unfitness. If he is to be beaten. 1t is
apparent now II he came through
the ordeal with a clean record. his
candidacy will take on dignity and
popularity as the campaign pro-
crosses and his solid party supports
him.
On the other hand, II remains to pc
seen whether the quadrennial Bryan
has anything essentially
and unique in Il this year.

CHILDREN's DAY OBSERVED.


Few all-day church services ever
held In McCracken county exceeded
the one held at Reidland Sunday, in
attendance, interest and excellence of

tended from Paducah and the county
was represented for miles around.
The Rev. 7. j. Owen, pastor of the
church, was the moving spirit IN the
all-day service.
The day began with long and
varied Children's day program at 10

PLATFORMS AND THE MEN.

Apparently the platform writers
for the national conventions this year
are to play modest but important
parts in the presidential campaign.
Secretary of, War Taft is a man with
a record as an administrator, he has
become identified with certain policies
of state. against which he could not
turn If he would, and he has been Sc
lected as the one best fitted to carry
on those policies. So long as the ma
tional Republican platform Is in har-
mony with Mr.. Taft's record and pol
icies no one will doubt the sincerity
of his attitude and the honesty of
The platform.

A bill has recently been intro
duced in Congress for the establish
ment of a postal savings bank. This
is an old institution in England and
probably in other Europeen coun-
tries. The bill provides for sys-
tenn of postal savings banks, under
the direction and supervision of the
Postmaster General. Each postofiice
authorized to issue money orders,
and such others as the Postmaster
General may designate, will be post

person ten years of age or over, a
married woman in her own name
and free from any control or inter
ference by her husband," a trustee,
parent, guardian or other person
for the benefit of child under ten
years.
At least 81 is required to open an
account, but 10 cents or multiples
OF that amount may be deposited
afteward. No person will be per-
mitted to deposit more than 5000
in any month. Two per cent per
annum is to be allowed on these de
posits. No deposit is to be allow
ed to exceed 81 900, and no interest
is to be paid on any part of a de-
post in excess of $500.
The postal savings funds are to be
exempt from detention under and
legal process against the depositor.
they are not to be subject to taxa
ton by the United States or any
other State. The Postmaster Cen
eral is to deposit these funds in ma
tional banks, to be designated by
him at rate of interest not less
than 2 IA per cent per annum.
