Says Bryan Has Changed:

John Watson, inJeffersonian Magazine.
Now, as to Mr.. Bryan what has he
said or done that was so extraordinary?
The only thing that he ever said, in
all of his oceans of talk, that people re-
member was a quotation. The ''crown
OF thons' sentence was borrowed.
without credit, from some one else.
In all Of his voluminous writings,
where did you find the expression or Il e
thought that will live? His "letters"
from foreign countries, syndicated by
The newspapers, were in many instances
not much more than transcripts from
guide books.
Let any man who would size up Mr..
Bryan AS a thinker, statesman and lead
er study his book, "The First Battle" "
In 1904 he did the very things which
in that book he most hotly denounced;
and he utterly failed to follow the IA
triotic course which he marked cut for
himself in the book. Between his pres
ent position and platform and that pro-
claimed in The First Battle" the DIFF
ference is radical, irreconcilable.
The Bryan of 1896 was a bold, bril-
liant, enthusiastic tribune of the pco-
Plea Rienzi in eloquence, courage and
devotion to lofty ideal. In that year |
could stiile my own feelings Of humilia-
ton, subordinating self-interest to pa
triotism, and stump Nebraska for Bry
an, successfully adding to the glory Of
Bryan, adding nothing to the credit Civ
en- Watson.
But the Bryan Of 1901, it was impos-
siblc to defend, follow, or admire. The
tribune weakened into the party hack.
The patriotic rcformcr shrank into the
calculating politician. Party REGULAR
.y" had to be maintained, for Bryan's
own future interest. Popularity, elo-
luence, magnetic presence, personal in
.luence, all had to be given to a cause
which Bryan himself had said was un-
worthy; and thus God.given talents and
a glorious opportunity were missed in
order that personal ambition should
keep its feet in the beaten road Of po-
litical promotion.
The time may come when some daunt-
less and eonsecruted leader Of the peo-
Ole viii have to wear a crown Of thorns
but il will not be w. J. bryan The
lime may come when heart-broken
following may look through the mist Of
weeping eyes and see their beloved
champion nailed to the cross, but the
victim viii not be the orator Of Ne
braska.

and the contagion of yellow fever is
carried by only one of them. Certain
genera, technically called megarhinus.
psorophOra and lutzia, are found,
which, instead of spreading any disease
hostile to men, wage war on their
weaker cousins and at times even on
their brothers and sisters. The yellow
fever mosquito, the only kind in
America spreading this infection,
scientifically called stegomyia, is very
scarce. 1t is possible to live for weeks
on the line of the canal without seeing
single specimen. This mosquito is
a strictly domestic insect, never found
away from man. 1t breeds only in
artificial receptacles, such as barrels,
water coolers, bottles and tin cans in
and around human habitatiOns.

pension agent at Concord. \. H.. and
thereby set at naught the effort of Presi-
dent Roosevelt TO place man of his own

death of George A. Curtice, the pension
agent at Concord The two New Hamp-
shire senators. after comforting with the
New Hampshire House delegation. had
presented the names Of two candidates,
who were both rejected. 1t is said that
the nomination of Fairbanks by the Pres

National Committeeman F. S. Sireeter
and Winston Churchill.

the confirmation of Fairbanks. For some

rejection of Fairbanks by the pensions
