Lincoln, Neb., March 19.-William
Jennings Bryans 4Sth birthday was
celebrated today by the Democrats
of Lincoln and throughout Nebraska.
Hundreds of congratulatory mes
sages from admirers in many states
and foreign countries were delivered
| today at the Bryan home near Lin
coin, where the famous Commoner
finds relaxation in agricultural pur-
suits in the occasional periods of rest
between political campaigns and lee
ture engagements. Mr.. Bryan is to-
day in Chicago.
Although Lincoln is largely Re-
publican in its political tendencies,
the people of the city are immense
ly proud of their famous citizen and
Republicans as well as Democrats
Joined in the days felicitations.
The Bryan home is about four
miles from the heart of Lincoln 1t
is named Fairview and it is well
named. 1t is circling stretch of
undulating prairie, thick-dotted with
buildings, large and small, and liven-
ed on the west by the smoking Chin
neys of the city and the dome of the
state house. And the winds never
rest at Fairview which is purely
modern house of Clipped red brick,
looking as If it had been intended
for a city street and had got to its
present place by mistake.
In the front yard of the Great
Commoner's 15S-acre farm stands a
tall stone lantern, which was given
him in Japan, during his recent trip
around the world. Flanking the
broad stone steps leading to the
front porch are two bronze beasts.

left Is Conservatism-its mouth is
shut tight. The one on the right is
Radicalism-its mouth wide open,
and its teeth show even more than
! Teddy's when he smiles and says
''dee-lighted."
Twelve years ago, when he had
saved up little money from his law
practice, Bryan bought the first five
acres of this farm. To put it his
way, each acre cost him 800 for
scenery. 500 for climate and $50
for the soil
The farm is well stocked with
prize cattle, sleek horses and fat
swine, and the Nebraskan finds one
of his greatest pleasures in these
animals. The house itself is hand
somely, but simply furnished. with
the library as its most distinctive
feature.

A MATTER OF REGRET.

1t is matter for general regret in
Pueblo that the Rio Grande railroad
company should have chosen the
present time for making a test of the
open shop policy among its machin-
lists and boiler makers. From the
standpoint of the union men, the
strike was inevitable; it was either
that or surrender all the advantages
that have been gained by the unions
in the past. The Chieftain SYM
pathies are with the strikers, and
will continue to be there unless
there are such manifestations of dis
order and lawlessness as we do not
expect to see in this connection. At
the same time it must be admitted
that strong sentiment is running
throughout the country in favor of
the open shop, and the extra
vagances and follies of some unions
and of some union leaders have done
infinite harm to the union cause.
We believe that a practical trial of
the open shop system would con-
vince this railroad company that
such a plan is a mistake and that
they will get better results with all
union employees. especially if those
unions are in control of reasonable
and conservative men.-Pueblo
Chieftain.
