is distinctive in character the stao-

the style. Some railroads maintain
green houses and nurseries to sup
ply their station parks with plants

Mr.. Bryan's success is not a prob
lem. 1t is not continent on future
events. With two defeats to COM
promise him, he is now the foremost
man in the great historical party Of
this country, and admitted so by the
critics and doubters as well as the
believers. The man has the inherent
quality OF success. He has grasp
on the realities that no public man
Of this generation has given such
evidence of. He knows the truth
that his place in history will be de-
termined not by what the people do
for him, but by what he does for the
people.
He has at his disposal the nomina-
ton of great party for the first Of
flee of the world. To attain this po-
sition he had made no compromise
or sacrifice Of principle. He has
thought that defeat was a less pen
atty than the loss of the least part
icle of self-respect. In an age OF
great wealth and its great power, he
has not had its backing A greater
power, though secondary because
largely controlled by wealth, the met
ropolitan press, has been in the main
against him.
1t is a monument to the inherent
virtue of the age that Bryan stands
so pre-eminently the leader.
Men and leaders that have been
against him and have hunted high
and low for leaders and issues to
discredit or displace him have re-
luctantly had to. admit his suprem-
acy. Bryan was ahead OF his time
in his radicalism. but the times are
moving faster and have caught up
with him. The devotion to truth
and 10 the best interest OF the peo-
pie and time for study and rejection
and travel have ripened and seasoned
his Judgment, but have not dimin-
ished the courage OF the man or les
sened his devotion to his ideals.

said that he would rather be right

The time has come when the only
way to be president is to be right.
The man who made the above
statement was not the only one in
the country then feeling that way.
His very saying so made others
feel 80, and such expressed sentiment
has brought forth fruit one hundred
fold and the man of the ability and
courage of Bryan, has added inn
mensely to this crop of honesty.
Bryan is one Of the men that has
contributed to the fact that the time
is on us when it is not only pleasant
to be right, but profitable.

ing has been the object lesson he has

"HoT AIR LINE" HAS FAILED.

Investors In the stock OF the Chi

railroad, which has been exploited
all over the country as the biggest

The road was to have been built
on an air line between New York and
Chicago, turning aside for nothing.

UNLUCKY CANADIAN FARMERS.

Canada is doing a great deal to
help Its farmers. The latest scheme
is to advance $4,000, 600 to those in
the provinces of Alberto and Sas-
katchewan whose crops were fail
ure last year and who are therefore
crippled in facing the needs of an
other season The announcement
will come as surprise to many,
however for the idea has been sed-

northwest was a region OF unfailing
prosperity, and thousands have been
induced to immigrate in the belief
that It was verltable promised land.
