Don't be stewing over nothing
All the while.

What's the use?
Chase away your dark forebodings
And your pets

And your debts;
Feeling blue and fondly dwelling
On your ills
Never paid stove insallment
Or your bills

As to cry

If you try
That will make the sunshine Danish
All your gloom,
And win hardly give your trouble
Standing room.

You arrange,
Then your life win be worth living
For a change.
Get a laugh that shakes the rafters
Turn it loose;
Fretting never gets you nowhere
What's the use?

The Dallas Times Herald says:
"Mr. Bryan has not lived in vain.
Since his entry into American politics
the standard of craftsmanship has
grown, and at this time patriotism,
honesty and Intelligence have sway
in all parties. The man who seeks to
belittle the matchless orator from the
west who has thrice led his party to
defeat, places a very poor estimate
upon manhood. William j. Bryan is
manly man, a well rounded Amer
lean, and his place in history is Sc
cure. The nation has been made bet
ter by Bryan's having lived. Let's be
just as we go along" Perhaps Bryan
has accomplished as much in defeat
as he would have gained in victory.

says:
There are no birds in last years

Mr.. Bryan sinned against grace
which means true democracy
he declared for government owner
ship of the means of transportation,
The government is pauper; it

ever knew, his democratic primer
when he talked about the govern
ment owning the railroads.
The Denver convention did not put
forward this railway ownership
proposition, but it did other things
calculated to embarrass the demo-
cratic cause. Let the people rule!'
ii exclaimed, just as though we We're
living under monarchy. Then it
called for publicity as to campaign
contributions, and the candidate
pressed that bit of folly as a para
mount issue. Then there was an as
sault on what is called the govern

power has not. in the judgement of
the American people as shown in

piece of paternalism beyond anything
the republicans ever proposed. Then
there was the bank deposit guaran-
tee bit of folly; the government
might just as well undertake to
guarantee the price of cotton.
These several absurdities were
put forward by the Denver conven-
