MR.. BRYAN IN THE 1900 CAMPAIGN.

ct. A second time Bryan went down
to defeat, but gracefully and with
good cheer.
he was at his home in Lincoln on
election day, ate an early dinner, went
upstairs at about G o'clock and slept
soundly until IL, when he came down
and discovered that he was badly
beaten. He smiled to the assembled
reporters, returned to his bed and slept
soundly until morning. 1t was said
by those present that he evinced not
the slightest sign Of disappointment
Mr.. Bryan did not seek the nomina-
ton In 1904. He was quite willing for
the disaffected wing of the Democracy
to name the ticket just to see If that
element could do better than the other.
He attended the convention in st.
Louis as a delegate. made an amazing
fight for a platform upon which he and
his supporters could stand and won the
fight by sheer force of brain and
Drawn. He arose from his bed on the
early morning Of the last day of the
convention, though threatened with
pneumonia, and just as the dawn was
breaking over the city he delivered
in that convention to the vast throng
which had waited and sweated and
fretted all night long just to hear him
a speech which for pathos and power
and thrill no inyeterate convention fol-
lower ever heard equaled. The Demo
cratic ticket, Judge Alton B. Parker
of New York and ex-senator Henry G.
Davis Of West Virginia, was defeated
in November inexpressibly worse than
was Bryan in either of his campaigns.
The discovery of vast deposits of
gold in Alaska and elsewhere since the
free silver campaigns has eliminated
the money issue from politics. Mr..
Bryan has accepted this fact and now
stands upon other Democratic issues
Despite all opposition, he has domi-
mated the national Democracy for
twelve years. For several years past
he has given expression to his views
in the weekly journal, the Commoner,
which he established at Lincoln. He
has removed to fine farm near Lin
coin, built commodious residence and
become known throughout the world
as the great American commoner,"
titular successor to Henry Clay. He
has travelled around the world and
written his impressions for syndicate
of American newspapers. He has been
for years the most popular and highest
paid lecturer on the American lyceum
and Chautauqua circuits. 1t Is said
that his income from lecturing alone
is as much as $4,000 year. the presi-
dents salary.
Mr.. Bryan is a total abstainer from
alcohol and tobacco. He is member
of the Presbyterian church and never
works on Sunday, save to deliver re-
ligious address now and then. His
ideal is morality, personal, political
and civic. The Bryan of 1908 looks
older than the Bryan of 1896, but he Is
no less vigorous and virile than he was
when his voice flashed across the con-
tinent from the Chicago convention hall

Atlanta, July 25-The horror Of the
nrst two days revelatisns before the
legislative committee investigating
Gsorgia's convict lease system was
increased Friday as further revolving
details were developed by men who
had formerly served the state as war
dens, guards and convica bosses.
Incidents Of barbaric cruelty related
by ex-convicts the day before were re-
hearsed, and corroborating testimony
was piled up by men who, as officers
of the state, had seen the brutality
practiced and were powerless to pre-
vent 1t.
w. Roberts, formerly deputy war
den at the state farm, told of how
the law was violated. Convicts were
employed IN competition with free la
Dor In Mtiledgevi1le, when they could
have been used on the state farm. He
recitsd astounding irregularities In the
management Of convicts, the purchase
OF supplies, and the disposition Of the
products from the farm.
George Mayners. who had worked
as guard at various convict camps
over the state, told of conditions as
he had seen them. He reported con-
ditions at Fagro to be rough. At the
Chattahoocaee Brick company, he
said, he had seen five men stripped
and fossed negro from Athens
was whipped so severely he could not
sit down. The reason he was whip
ped was that shackles put on him
whom his ankle swelled, slipped on
when the swelling went down.
Other witnesses were examined
whose testimony showed a deplorable
state of affairs in the convict camps
of the state.

l.. Strong, merchant of Macon,
formerly a convict, testified that men
were lined up at the prison farm and
sold like mules. Sick and infirm men
shipped in one day from a convict les
see, were shipped out the next day in
exchange to another lessee.

of the construction of much better homes than
the members of that great tribe have ever occu-
pied. Probably the evolution of the hogan into
a higher type of dwelling arrested by the
immemorial custom of abandoning dwelling as
death occurred in it. With the term
of occupancy uncertain there little to tempt
men to unnecessary elaboration, and the natural
tendency towards improvement effectively
barred.
Among peoples still in primitive stages of cul-
tural development, but those who devote
themselves largely to agriculture are likely to
find their interest and convenience best served by
the establishment of permanent habitations. Hence
the early farmers were much better home-builders
than were the hunters and herdsmen of the same
period. When the construction of extensive sys-
TENS of irrigation necessary to insure success
in farming, added incentive to continuous resi-
dence in the same spot was given, with consequent
greater opportunities for architectural develop
ment and elaboration. Hence, wherever in the
wide world architecture attained notable develop
ment in advance of the upbuilding of an extensive
trade and commerce, it was among the farmers
OF semi-arid region. Peru Mexico Egypt Asia
Minor and the valley of the river Euphrates are
well known regions in which architecture reached
an early and noble development. All were semi
arid lands, in which agriculture the principal
occupation, and in which farming was possible
only with the aid of rrgation-thus insuring
stability and permanence of residence. The archi-
tectural monuments of the semiarid American
southwest are in no way worthy of comparison
with those of the other countries named, but pre-

tectural inventions and devices put together
No doubt Necessity, the prolific Mother OF In
vention, supplied the inspiration that guided the
hand of the first wall builder In numerous places
throughout the region once occupied by the pre-
historic Cliff Dwellers may be seen ancient caveate
dwellings from which the front wall has fallen
away. The slow crumblng of the cliffs must
at times, have brought the result to pass
when the cliff dwellings were occupied. When
that happened, the householder found himself un
der the necessity of moving out and digging
hole in the cliff else of making repairs
Some Paleoithic genius chose the latter alterna-
tive, a laborsaving expedient-or quite pos
sibly because the catastrophe to his home hap
pened in midwinter, exposing the cherished sharer
of his humble hole to stormy blasts when outdoor
only practicable way of making repairs was to
build wall of stones in the place of the living
rock that had fallen away. Thus, doubtless, was
the ultimate well-being of the whole community
promoted by the misfortune of an individual pos
sessing sufficient native wit to patch up his own
dwelling in preference to quartering himself upon
his wfe's relatives, or to accepting the grudging
hospitality of churlish and gossipping neighbors.
The success of the first wall builder inevitably
begot imitation and imitation led to improvement.
So it has always been with great inventions.
Doubtless it not long until the idea of the
wall was applied In ways Of which the first builder
dreamed. Perhaps someone who had
cavated commodious cave In which to spend his
declining years in peace found 1t easier to sub
divide it by building a masonry partition than
to dig a for the accommodation of q
lazy improvident sonin-law. Then 1t may
be that someone knew of tempting andconvenient

sent an amazing contrast to the rude wckiups,
hogans and tepees that characterized the nomadic
tribes of by far the greater part of the North
American continent. Their chief interest and
value to the ethnoogist lies in the fact that 1t is
even now possible to the successive stages of
development from the very lowest to a relatively
high plane.
While 1t is assumed that natural

been found in America that known with
certainty to have been permanent homes of the
aborigines. Yet in the Southwest there
berless recesses formed by winderosion in volcanic
tufa that were evidently enlarged by human hands
and tools and used permanent residences. That
was the beginning of home building, but may
have accompanied, rather than preceded, the ex-
cavation of entire dwellings, both types exist
side by side in the cliffs. But the father of
all architects he who first discovered that
he could build wall by piling one stone upon
another until the required height reached.
