to look over the daily papers. While
Mrs. Proctor was away the end came.
When she returned after very few
minutes absence life was extinct.
Neighbors and physicians were hur.
riedly summoned but no service could
be rendered except such sympathy as
could be extended to the prostrated
wife.
Judge Proctor was a native OF the
state of Arkansas. where he grew to
young manhood and received his edu-

BRYAN'S REAL WORTH

The record of William J. Bryan since
his first appearance as public man
has been such as to inspire the conf
dence and win the admiration of men
of all classes. Personally, his life has
been worthy of emulation in all ways
and in every respect. His utterances
on questions of public Importance have
been those of man who thinks and
who has reached his conclusions after
most exhaustive investigation of all OBJ
tainable facts. His position on matters
of moment is unassailable, his integrity
beyond question, and his earnestness un-
mistakable. Mr.. Bryan is man of
more than ordinary ability, and what
he advocates and stands for is worthy
of serious consideration by the people
of this country.
Any man who can lead as he has done
for the past twelve years, and in all
that time in the face of encouragement
and defeat, maintain his leadership and
retain the loyalty of those who believe
as he does, possesses traits of character
that mark him as more than a remark
able leader of thought in this great
country. A dishonest man, a dema-
gogue, would have fallen and passed
into Oblivion with his first defeat.

A BIG NAVY OF THE AIR

We infer from the dispatches that the
whole art of war is to be changed again
as the result of the coming airship
trials at Fort Myer. Already the mill
tary strategists at Washington in imag,
ination are manoeuvering their aerial
fleets in battle formation. War balloon
systems for the defense of the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts have already been in
stalled in theory. We may soon expect
to hear semi official denials that Presi-
dent Roosevelt intends to start ana ar
mazda of aeroplanes, dirigibles aero
dromes, monoplanes and so forth on a
practice cruise around the world.
Everybody knows that the United
States lies absolutely at the mercy of
a foreign invader. If he does not he
has not listened to the warnings of
Roosevelt and Hobson. We must have
airships. We front on two oceans. Our
undefended wealth invites aggression.
Brigadier General Allen, chief of the
signal corps, estimates that 100000
will be enough the first year to begin
work on the airship program. Army
officers count on President Roosevelt's
support. Their expectations are not un-
reasonable. Any lingo proposal involv.
ing the expenditure of S5,0OO,OOOO will
surely appeal to him.

but lost Indiana. He was defeated.
Greeley in 1872 lost New York and

Hancock in 1880 lost New York and
Indiana. He was defeated
Cleveland in 1884 carried New York
and Indiana. He was elected.
Cleveland in 1888 lost New York and
Indiana. He was defeated.
Cleveland in 1892 carried New York
and Indiana. He was elected.
Bryan in 1896 lost New York and
Indiana. He was defeated.
Bryan in 1900 lost New York and
Indiana. He was debated.
Parker in 1904 lost New York and
Indiana. He was defeated.
In fifty years no democratic candi-
date for president has been elected who

diana. Since Jackson's day no demo
cratic candidate for president who car
ried both New York and Indiana has
beer defeated.

SO appalling when you come to con-
slider that there is such thing as

Even though the dulcet iciness in
her voice ought to be more effective
than a shrek of warning, man
will go right on telling his stout
blonde wife that she ought to dress
like the slim brunette next door.
No man is really an artistic lover
who hasn't enough dramatic in
