Mr.. BRYANS OPINIONS

Mr. Bryan, in discussing the tariff
question, insists that residents OF the
United States should be permitted to
buy homemade goods at home at as
low price as the foreigner can buy
American-made goods abroad. He
also insists that our government
should be by and for the trusts, and
administered in the interest Of a few
benefciaries of the trust system. He
believes that national legislation for
the purpose of better regulation and
control Of interstate commerce and
common carriers should supplement
state legislation, and not be subst.-
tute Ior state legislation.
Mr.. Bryan's paper, The COmmoner,
reflects his opinions each week on
questions of public Importance and in
its columns may also be found his
magazine articles, public speech es,
addresses and lectures, which are re-
ferred to in the daily press from day
to day.
If you are Interested in political
questions, II you desire to keep in
touch with the progress Of the cam
paign and to read Mr.. Bryan's cam
paign speeches send sixty cents to
The Commoner, and the paper will be
sent to you each week until the close
of the next presidential campaign.
Postoffice money order, currency, or
stamps will be accepted. Only SIXTY
cents. Address The Commoner,

The plan of guaranteed bank de-
posiJs has probably found favor,
among all classes of people and ire
spective of political utilization, more
rapidly than any other publicquestiOn.
The new state of Oklahoma has
already enacted law taxing state
banks, the fund thus accumulated to
be used in paying the depOsitOrs o.
any state bank that from any cause
becomes unable to meet it's obliga-
tions. A special session of the Kan
sas legislature has been called for the
purpose of enacting legislation SINH
lar to the Oklahoma plan. The gov
ernor of Nebraska is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of calling q special SEES
sion of the Legislature On account of
the growing belief among the people
that protection to bank depositors in
the form of state or federal guarantees
of their deposits will stop the hoard
ing of money, bring into circulation
sufficient currency to conduct the
business of the country, and prevent
d recurrence of such disastrous panics
as the one through which we are now
passing.
Mr.. Bryan has been an advocate of
of a law guaranteeing deposits in
state and national banks since 1898.
The legislature of Ohio has adopted
a Joint resolution inviting Mr.. Bryan
to address it's members in Joint session
February Is, 1908, on the subject OF
Guaranteed Bank DenOsits.

Denmark Takes Dairy Graduate.

The demand for graduates of dairy
schools to fill important positions is
exemplitied by the appointment by the
government of Denmark of Elias
SigVed, of Stavanger, Norway, who
has just graduated here, to the posi-
ton of dairy instructor of the king
dom. 1t is the duty of the instrucl ors
to visit factories and advise creamery
men and patrons as to proper methods
of handling milk, butter aud creamery
products in general. The Royal Agri-
cultural Society of Denmark also has
the appointment of an instructor for
a government position, which is now
filled by a graduate of the University
of WiscOnsin's dairy school, DR.. Won
Ellebrecht. AS Denmark is the lead
ing dairy country of the world, the
state dairy school takes pride in the
fact that two of the five state officials
of this department were trained in
Wisconsin.
Peter Quinn, graduate of the dairy
school this year, has been made man
ager of a large centralized creamery
at Seattle, Wash, with a salary of
Sl700 year.

AERIAL. NAVIGATION.
The First Gas Bag and the First Dir
iqible Balloon.

The First Gas Bag and the First Dir
igble Balloon.
On the list of December, 1888, when
the first gas balloon rose from the
Tuileries, carried up by Charles and
Robert, the Marquis de Villeroy, an
octogenarian and skeptic, declared 1t
was tempting God himself. He was
rolled in his armchair to q window Of
his chateau to witness the impossible
ty of such an ascension. But the mo-
ment the aeronaut, gayly saluting the
spectators, rose in the air, the old man,
passing suddenly from the most com
plete incredulity to unlimited faith in
the power of genius, fell upon his
knees and exclaimed: 30 men, We will
find the secret of never dying! And 1t
will be when 1 am deadp'
The public, easily confoundfng the
atmospheric with the astronomic heav-
ems, already hailed the day when the
aeronaut would continue his aerial
course to the moon, to Venus, to Mars
or Jupiter.
Pierre Giffard, then Dupuy de LONE,
tried the first dirigible balloons. Later
Captains Renard and Krebs in their
aerOplane, La France, went from Meu-
don to Paris and back at the same
time that CASTOR Tissandier was car
rying out his fine experiments. But all
progress was soon stopped by the
weakness of the motors compared to
their weight
Nothing further could be done until
the arrival of the explosive motor. In
fact, it was the improvement in auto
mobiles which won us the conquest Of
tho air

GRAY Hairs In Wall Street.

at seemed to me down in New York
the other day." remarked a Cleveland
er who had just returned from the ne
tropolis, chat one might almost rec
ognize Wall street and the financial
region by the number of gray haired
young men you see. l had occasion to
be in several offices on Wall street the
other day, and 1 honestly believe more
than half of the young men 1 saw had
gray hair. I noticed the same thing
along the street. 1t may have been
just a coincidence, but I couldn't help
wondering if they would have been
gray just as soon if they had been at
some other game for the last few
years. "-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

HOME.


But where to find that happiest spot be-
low
Who can direct when all pretend tD know?
The shudd'ring tenant of the frigid zone
Boldly proclaims that happiest spot his
own,
Extols tbs treasures of his stormy seas
And hts long nights of revelry and ease.
The naked negro, painting at the line,
Boasts of his golden sands and palmy
wine,
Basks in the glare or stems the tepid
wave
And thanks his gods for all the good they
gave.
Such is the patriots boast whereer we
roam.
His first, best country ever is at home.
And yet perhaps if countries we compare
And estimate the blessings which they
share,
Though patriots fiatter. still shall wisdom
find
An equal portion dealt to all mankind,
As different good, by art or nature given,
To different nations makes their blessing
even.

Hands and Feet,

1t is said that Disraeli was prouder
of his small hands than of all his great
mental accomplishments. This was
presumably because they were badges
of aristocracy in their evidence that
he had not been brought up to labor,
and he worshiped aristocracy. And
small feet of the same character-eyi-
dences that the possessor did not go
barefoot when a child. Generations of
carefully shod children of the nobility
developed this characteristic of those
of gentle blood" as distinguished from
the commonaIty. But such proofs Of
superiority were not meekly endured.
In due time brainy commoners discov-
cred that the artistic hand" was not
small, but long and slender, and then
came the athlete multitude, who scorn
small hands and feet as evidences Of
eminacy.-Indianapol Star.

RAISING HORSES.
Southwestern Wisconsin's Natural
Advantages.

John M. Ellsworth: ] wish to say d
word In regard to the natural advan-
tages we of southwestern Wisconsin
possess. We raise as good blue grass
as any spot on earth. Our soil is
peculiarly adapted to the production
Of oats, clover, and timothy hay. Our
natural water supply contains the
proper amount of lime, so necessary
in the development of good hoof and
bone of quality. A combination of
feed that cannot be surpassed any
where on earth, nor can it be improved
upon by the ingenuity of man. We
are in close proximity to the best and
largest markets iE the world, distri-
buting center as it were, for the world )
supply Of horses. Why should we
not arouse ourselves, and improve the
environments so abundantly lavished
upon US by nature? We could raise a
class of horses here [ if we would that
would be known the world over.

MOUNT FUJIYAMA,
Japanese Pilgrimage to Its Tempest
Swept Summit.

SWept Summit.
To the people of Japan the mount
Fujiyama is sacred. The meaning of
the word is honorable mountain"
During that brief six weeks of summer
when Fujiyama's wind swept sides are
climbable, writes A H Edwards in
''Kakemono," the pilgrims come in
thousands, in ten thousands. They
dress themselves in white from head
to foot They carry long slaves Of
pure white wood in their hands, each
stamped with the temple crest, and in
bands and companies they climb the
mountain.
Always the leader at their head, his
staff crowned with a tfnkling mass Of
bells, like tiny cymbals, chants the
hymn of Fujiyama. For six short
summer weeks they come. Then the
winds rush down, the snow falls, the
tempests rage, and Lord Fujiyama lives
alone.
No human being has yet stayed a
winter on his summit, and even in the
summer weeks the winds will blow the
lava blocks from the walls of the rest
houses and sometimes the pilgrim from
the path.
Fujiyama stands alone, not one peak
among a range, but utterly alone. Ris-
ing straight out of the sea on one side
and from the great Tokyo plain on the
other, his 1866 feet in two long curv-
ing lines of exquisite grace rise up and
up into the blue, and not an inch of
one foot is hidden or lost. 1t is all
there, visible as tower built on tree
less plain. 1t dominates the landscape.
1t can be seen from thirteen provinces,
and from a hundred miles at sea the
pale white peak of Fujiyama floats
above the blue.
