When he came home he gave ample
evidence thar he did not come with
in many miles of comprehending the
railroad question. But, nevertheless,
Mr.. Bryan has never hesitated to give
his opinion on any and all questions.
He has never admitted that there was
question he did not understand and
could not discuss in any company.
Mr.. Bryan, nevertheless, has been
growing force in this country. He
has grown in cleverness. He has
managed in the past few years to COM
bine the character of the saint in poll
tics with certain fnesse in manag-
ing men of which he was earlier un-
suspected. Mr.. Bryan has made
such wonderful strides in managing
the bosses of his party that he has
become marvellous boss himself. His
handling of the convention at Denver
made President Roosevelt's interested
efforts on behalf of Mr.. Taft at Chi
cago seem like child's play. Mr..
Roosevelt did not dream of selecting
national committeeman and, when
his wishes were not followed, of
revising state delegations to bring about
the decision he desired. Mr.. Roose-
welt never dreamed of such mental
and moral acrobatics as assaulting one
of his party workers as train robber
and later making deal with that man
to control state in his interest. Mr..
Bryan did both of these things, one
in Pennsylvania and one in Illinois.
He showed throughout the conven-
ton some of the old Calvinistic spirit,
the disposition to burn men for the
crime of disagreeing with him.
Mr.. Bryan enters upon his third
campaign for the presidency with
much less elasticity of mind, with
much less affability, with apparently
much less charity: more educated,
but no more learned: more exper-
fenced, but no wiser. His mental
equipment is just what it was twelve
years ago. He never has retracted a
single one of his many erroneous
opinions. On the contrary, his stub
bornness has increased, and with his
stubbornness has grown his impotence
of opposition.
All of Mr.. Bryan's mental pro-
cesses are the same. His bad qualities
as public man have been emphasized,
and he is to day, while magnificent
leader, high type of the public agi-
tator, the poorest equipped man for the
responsibilities of the presidency who
has been offered in generation. =

REVENUE INCREASED.
State Now Receives rs Per Cent of
Proceeds from Forests.

Proceeds from Forests.
In addition to the benefits secured
by fire protection and by regulations
which control the use OF cumberland
and range SO as to insure permanent
supplies for local wants, the states
having national forest reserves now
receive, under the new Agricultural
Appropriation Bill, rs per cent of the
gross proceeds derived from the sale
of national forest resources. This
amount, according to law, goes to
Offset any losses to the state through
withdrawal of forest areas from tax
alton, and is devoted to public roads
and schools.
Several years ago complaints were
made that the withdrawal of timber
lands for forest purposes reduced the
taxable areas of the states in which
Withdrawals were made. The forest
service, quick to see the justice of
these complaints, recommended at
first that 10 per cent, and later that
Is per cent, of the gross proceeds
from the national forests should be
paid to the states. AS result, the
states are assured of school and road
funds, doubtless more certainly than
they otherwise could have been, since
the permanence of the forest re-
sources is now secured by conserva-
tive management. Had the forest
never been established, their resources
would undoubtedly have been exhaust
ed by hasty and improyident methods
of exploitation, leaving the land vast
ed and unproductive.

MR.. BRYAN THEN AND NOW.

William Jennings Bryan, born in
Illinois in 1860, has at the age of 48 al
ready been three times nominated
and twice defeated for the presidency
of the United States. This is a
record that may well stand out in
personal history as transcending in
interest any single election to the presi-
dency. Posterity will never believe
that William j. Bryan, twice defeated
for the highest Office in the land, was
not more of force in public life than
Rutherford B. Hayes, for example,
once elected.
The wonderful element about Bryan
is his persistency as candidate.
There has been nothing like it since
Blaine, as there had been nothing like
Blaine except the career of Clay.
When the historian comes to sum up
Bryan, he will be struck with the
fact, and he will seek the explana-
ton.
The present day witness is puzzled
by Bryan. He finds in him a dual
personality He finds him utterly
unreliable as an economic thinker.
He assumes then that Bryan must be
discarded as political leader. But
on the contrary he is not rejected.
He must look again, and looking
again, he finds that America politics
is not all made up of tariff schedules,
money bills and legal enactments.
There is an element of romance in
it that must be reckoned with.
MIR. Bryan unknown to many OIL
his opponents has reckoned with it.
He has all bat conquered the SYM
pathetic side of the American public.
The circumstances of Mr.. Bryan j.
first appearance in politics propogated
the notion that new kind of leader
had come forward. Mr. Bryan wa.
young, attractive, as romantic fore,
as one of the Grachhi. He appeared
as the champion of the plain people,
who were supposed to have littl,
voice in politics.. MIR. Bryan himsel
was supposed to have little knowledg,
of the wiles of machine politics. H,
rode fair and fought in the open. HI,
was the peerless one, the young
Lochinvar, the knight of the silve
shield. No wonder Mr.. Bryan pow
erfully appealed to the imagination o
young America. If he had not beer
obliged to meet its common sense, h,
might have been president. But Mr.
Bryan did not pass the common sens,
test and the country was spared hi
presidency.
Since that day twelve years ago
when he made his cross-of-gold speecI
in Chicago, Mr.. Bryan has bee
growing. Nearly everybody assume
that he has grown mentally. This
not proved by his contributions I
current newspaper literature, nor hi
speeches, nor his foreign correspond
ence. The bulk of his contributor
in all three fields have been common
place. 1t has consisted mostly in phrase
making. Mr.. Bryan did not under
stand the Philippine question until h
just sat down and memorized MI
Taft on the subject. He has show
by his correspondence that he did ne
comprehend the Indian question

several guests from out of the city

During the afternoon a fine musi-
cal program was rendered which was
appreciated by ALL After the pro-
gram the privilege of conversation

affair, that part needs no remarks.
About five o'clock a bountiful re-
past was served, when the guests We're
again shown the hospitality for which
the Lewis home is noted.

COTTONWOOD 0. K.

1t has been developed lately that
cottonwood trees make about the fin
est lumber procurable for building
purposes. 1t not only makes fine di-
mension stuff, but is good for inside
finish and works well into furniture
and carriages. It takes a fine pol
ish and is sasiiy stained in imitation
of any wood. It has strong, inter-
lacing fibre-will not split or check
and is vauable for paper pulp, for
which purpose it will attain a suf-
ficient size in few years. It is
just the tree to set out to reclaim
land and at the same time to make
a profitable crop. Perhaps the much
despised cottonwood Is to solve the
timber question and take the place
Of the slow growing and disappearing
white pine.

Defends FRANCE
DR.. kl:ghis Stands Up For His
Native Country
AGAINST CRITICISM
COrreCts Misstatements Made by A
Contributor to the Minneapolis
Journal Recently

DR.. A. ]. Kirghis, of this city, has
replied to a recent article in tho
Minneapolis Journal in which appear
ed number of statements relative
to France and its people. Being q
native of France himself and espec-
tally having recently spent some
weeks visiting there, DR.. Kirghis is
in a position to speak intelligently
On the subject. Here is his let
ter: ,
After reading in the Minneapolis
Journal of July 13 an article entitl-
ed: France Is Good But America Is
Better" I feel in duty bound to
reply. The article has a tendency to
misrepresent conditions in France.
The statements relative to conditions
as existing there today are far from
true. 1 would not impugn the writ
er's veracity, but he has evidently
taken a superficial view and form
ed an estimate based upon conditions
existing ten years ago. Since then
France, along with other countries
has made tremendous strides toward
the betterment of the working class
es. Laws have been enacted reduc-
ing the working hours from $50 a
m. to 6 p. m. with an hour and q
half for dinner. This is about the samt
as in America As to wages, I
think Mr.. Jos. Moreau, who wrote
the Journal article, is not thoroughly
informed. The average wage of a COM
mon laborer in France is to 6
francs day, which in American
money is 80 cts to dollar. A strictly
high grade mechanic can easily earn
from $500 to $500 a day. A good
many men think themselves high class
workmen when they are only
Scrubs; possibly this is the class
observed by Mr.. Moreau.
AS far as rationing a child to q
single piece Of bread and letting it
cry for more just because it is too
and the parents are unable
to give another piece to their loved
one,, l think the man who has the
audacity to write such thing and to
say that such cases are very frequent,
is not a man whose powers Of obser-
walton are great, for 1 fail to know
of any countries where parents will
fully let their children starve or beg
for bread when it can be bought for
three and a half cents a pound. OF
course there are exceptions to the
rule and they are found here in Amer
lea as well.
Again, If Mr.. Moreau had investi-
gated more thoroughly he would have
found another law in force prohibit
ing any Sunday labor unless such
work was needed for public utility.
It is probable that the person who
provided the material for such an ard-
Gle got things mixed, for l notice that
his opinion is the same in regard to
Belgium and Germany. While it may
be true of Belgium, which is Mr.
Moreau's native country, and which
Is ruled by a man whose Congo adj
we have all read about,
would think those things liable to
sxits under such form of government
but far too base for a republic like
France
AS far as luxuries are concerned,
he working class does not attempt
10 get them. The French people,
rs generally known, are frugal and
while you may not see
carpets, rocking chairs and a piano
n the lodging of a working man.
vou may rest assured that he has =
good bed, substantial food and clothes

ANOTHER BARkIS
Second Candidate for Representa-
tive Files
A MFLROSE DEMOCRAT
Henry J. EmmeI Formally Announces
His Legislative CandidaCy-Poli-
tics Lively

The Heralds prediction, last week
that another democrat would get into
the race for representative from the
Sauk Centre district, in addition to tn,
first one who filed, Mayor F. E. Min.
ette of this city, came true. The
Herald also announced that two re-
publicans are considering the question
of entering the race These two
gentlemen will probably decide the
matter within a few days.
The new entry is that of Henry J.
Emmel of Melrose, democrat and
brother of John H. Emmel, the pres
ent efficient register of deeds OF
Stearns county. The Melrose Bea-
con, in speaking of Mr.. Emme's can
didacy, says he lived at Spring Hill
for many years and is widely known
The Beacon futher says that he rep
resented the district once and that
he is considered strong candidate.
The prohibitionists are still work
ing and the indications point to their
putting candidate in the field. AS
yet they have not settled on a man,
although A. D. Carpenter of Ashley
township has been consulted. Mr..
Carpenter is a ''cold water man. from
the ground up but does not desire to
run Some developments in this mat
ter are likely to come to light soon.
The contest for representative in
this district bids fair to be lively
one.
Since the last issue of The Herald,
Christ Schmitt, democrat, has filed
as a candidate for county treasurer
and ]. P. Bernick as candidate for
sheriff. bfr. Schmitt is the present
an efficient official and
popular. It is said on good author
ity that he is to have opposition.
]. P. Bernick is after the place now
held by B. ]. Moritz and is said to be
making a hard fight for the nomina-
ton.
There are now seven presidential
tickets in the field as follows:
Republican, w. H. Taft, nominee.
Democratic, w. J. Bryan, nominee.
Socialist, Eugene V. Debs, nomi-
nee.
Socialist-Labor, M. H. Preston,
nominee.
Prohibition, e. w. Claflin, nominee.
Populist. Thos. e. Watson, nominee.
Independence League, Thos. L. Hig-
Sc" nominee
The last on the list is the last one
70 make its appearance. The con-
vention met in Chicago this week.
R. Hearst, the yellow Jour-
lalist" of New York, Chicago and San
francisco, is the chief moving spirit.
Hearst is a democrat but bolted
Bryan and started the new movement.
Among the principles in the party's
platform are direct nomination by

THE COUNTY FAIR
Preparations for the Exhibition
Move On ApaCe
TWILL BE ALL RIGHT
Committee On Agricultural Products
Assigns Merchants to Look A.
ter the Exhibits

Preparations are progressing fol
the annual fair of the Stearns Coun.
ty Agricultural Society.
v. L. Burgess, chairman of the com
mittee to look after the collection
and arrangement of agricultural pro
ducts, has made his assignments o.
different products to the various bust
ness men of the city. This plan was
followed last year and it worked sc
we'll that it was decided to adop'
it a"ain. Here follow the names
of the firms and the line of exhibits
each is to look after:
Geo. Fish-flax.
Oscar Klonne-celery, peppers, to.
matOes.
Hanson & Emerson-Potatoes.
The Model Store-parsnips, carrots
rutabagas.
The Boston Store-cabbage, cauli.
flower.
Fiesler & McNeice-rye.
L. S. Bishop Co.-grass seed.

M. Nathe-corn.
The Fair Store-onions.
Wilson's Cash Store-wheat.
McCracken & Burgess-butter. ard
cheese.
H. F. Alden-oats.
John Boutell-beets.
o. H. Schleusener-peas, beans.
A. Dahlem-squash.
G. Hillerud & Co.-pumpkins.
Loftsgaarden Bros.-melons and ci.
irons.
Any and all persons contemplating
exhibits of agricultural products of
any description, are requested to
communicate with those in charge
of the departments as indicated above
and thus render material assistance
in securing first class display of
the products of the farm and gar
den.
There is something doing along
other lines than agricultural displays.
Those in charge of the racing pro-
gram are busy arranging for some
thing good in that line. The indica-
tions are that a racing circuit Will
be formed. In that case there will
be no doubt about an excellent draw
inc card.
Mayor F. E. Minette, chairman of
the executive committee, has been
in communication with st. Paul peo-
pie relative to securing some good
speakers for one or two days of the
fair. He wrote inviting Gov. john
son and Hon. J. F. jacobson. Mayor
has received reply from Hon.
Frank A. Day, the governors private
secretary, to the effect that the exc
cutive was out of the city, but when
he returned the matter would be call
ed to his attention. 1t is hoped that
Gov. Johnson will be able so to ar
range his engagements as to attend.
No reply has yet been received from
Mr.. Jacobson, but that is probably
due to the fact that his time is sui
ject to under the direction of the
republican state central committee
It is believed that Mr.. Jacobson viii
come. An invitation will also be ex-
tended to the democratic nominee for
governor, whoever that may be. It is
also on the books to ask all the can
lidates for county offices to come
Some of those now before the pub
lie will have been eliminated by the
primary election, but there will still
De quite a bunch left to come and they
will doubtless all be glad to be
here.

istratioyl. The third trustee
would have been repudiated but
for the circulation of Infamous
falsehoods and outrageous lies
concerning his opponent.
Ina signed interview in today's
issue, Col. w. A. Montgomery, a
member of the prison board
makes some serious charges
against Mr.. Neyland. These
charges are of a character that
demand investigation, and if the
senate committee on peniten-
tiary, to which was referred the
Neyland appointment, desires to
dig up something that will prove
of interest to the entire state
it will summon witnesses to as
certain whether these charges
can be substantiated. Four
members of this committee, by
the way, opposed the confrmat-
ion of Mr.. Neyland, and the high
official and personal standing of
of these four members is proof
conclusive that they must have
had good reasons for SO doing.
Irrespective of all politics that
may be involved in the Neyland
incident, the Daily News repeats
that the superintendent ought to
resign. The present board of
trustees was elected for four
year term, and it is a certainty
that its members are going to
serve that period, and that they
will have general supervision of
the acts of Mr.. Neyland. Good
results cannot be accomplished
unless all forces work in harmony
and, for the sake of harmony, it
is up to Mr.. Neyland to retire
with as much grace as possible
under the circumstances,

COL. RANDLE OBSERVES
4STH ANNIVERSARY
Former Lowndes County Boy
Now Prominent in Washing
ton Business Circles.

The following from the Wash.
ington Times will be read with
interest and pleasure by the boy
hood friends of Mr.. Arthur E.
Randle, Familiarity known as
lump"
"Col. Arthur E. Randle, presi-
dent of the United States Realty
Company, celebrated his forty
eighth anniversary yesterday.
Colonel Randle is much young
er looking man than the calendar
attests, and is probably one of
the most aggressive, enterpris-
ing and alert business men in
Washington.
Born in Artesia, Miss. Janu.
ary 18th, 1859, Arthur Emmett
Randie early manifested desire
for legal business career. Be-
cause of poor health he aban-
doned law and devoted his tine
exclusively in studying business
methods. His academic educa-
tion was acquired at Shortledge
Academy at Media, Pa, and he
afterward earned a degree at
the University of Pennsylvania.
In 1860 the young. man pur-
chased the John Jay Knox farm,
in the eastern section of the Dis
trict of Columbia. He split the
farm into subdivisions and
Christened it Congress Heights,
His adjuration, Watch for a
Town." seems to have been well
put, for Congress Heights has
been steadily growing, and the
day does not seem far distant
when this suburb of the Nat on
al Capital will outgrow even
Colonel Randle's expectations.
Colonel Randle has succeeded
with his Congress Heights ven
ture in the face of discouragine
circumstances and events. but
Notwithstanding these impedi.
ments he kept steadily at work,
and his subdivision is an honor
to the district. He built the
Capital railway from Congress
Heights to the Navy Yard The
United States Realty Company
which Colonel Randle directs,
today owns one-fortieth of all the
real estate in the District, and
controls it's own street railway.
The Episcopal church on Con-
gress Heights and the ground on
which it stands was given by
Colonel Randle and Mrs. Randle. .
