They were talking about the strange
fight between Prince de sagan and the
Castellane brothers.
"The French" said an ethnologist,
lead the world in intelligence, and
tnat is why, IN fsticuffs, they lag at
the worlds tail end. For, the more
intelligent we become, the more IN
capable We also become Of physical
violence.
Hence the lndicrous oddlty Of
French fighting, with its scratching
biting, beard pulling. pinching and
tears
He laughed
-There were two taximeter cabbies
Iawing one another last month as
they trotted from the Ritz across the
Place vendome to the Rue de Ia

'The first cabbie raised HIS whip

SEND in DOLLARS
FOR DEMOCRACY

Responding to the above appeal Of
William J. Bryan, the Express today
announces that is it ready to receive
dollar donations for the democratic
campaign fund.
OF course if any one feels disposed
to give more than a dollar, it will be
entirely acceptable. There is nothing
in the election law to prevent one
from giving 500 if he wants to-
Donations will not be limited to the
city of Chickasha but will be accepted
from all parts Of the earth from
Cape Horn to the great wall Of China
and back again. Every democrat Of
Grady county Is especially invited to
contribute his mite to the fund that is
needed to insure democratic victory
Il is conceded that the republicans
will have almost unlimited funds at
their disposal this year-the trusts
and milionaires will dig It up. Dem
ocracy must rely for it's sinews Of
war upon the free will offerings Of the
plain people.
A strict account Of every dollar will
be kept with the names Of the donors
and all viii be forwarded to the prop
er custOdians.
Grady county, the stronghold Of de
moeracy must do her part. Let every
loyal democrat respond to the call
SEND IN YOUR DOLLAR FOR
BRYAN AND DEMOCRATIC vICTO

4 wish every democratic
newspaper would commence tie
collection of a fund from its
own subscribers. There are very
few democrats who could not af-
ford to make a small subscrip-
ton, and the people will never
be able to control the govern
ment until they take upon them
selves lne burden Of supplying
campaign funds a long as a
few men furnish the money to
finance a compaign those men
will exert and undue influence
upon IL government.
: seems that we have reach
: ed the end Of corporate contribu-
= tions. and that is a step in ad-
vance, but the individuals who
control these favor-seeking cor
porahons may still dominate poll
tics by furnishing the sinews Of
war. The democratic party has
. struck at this system by limit
ing contributions to $4,000 and
providing for publicity before
election. The Republican party
has SO far refused to join with
as on this proposition, but public
: sentiment may yet compel It to
: do so. / have no doubt that the
: democratic party win receive
contributions from more individ-
uals than ever contributed to
e any campaign, and there is no
reason why the entire amount

: masses.

MIR. BRYAN'S OPINIONS

The plan of guaranteed bank deposist
has probably found favor, among all
classes of people and irrespective of
political affiliation, more rapidly than
any other public question.
The new state of Oklahoma has al
redy enacted a law taxing state banks,
the fund thus accumulated to be used in
paying the depositors of any state bank
that from any cause becomes unable to
meet it's obligations. A special session
of the Kansas legislature has been called
for. the purpose of enacting legislation
similar to the Oklahoma plan. The
governor of Nebraska is considering the
advisability of calling a special session 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 boarding of money, bring into
circulation sufficient currency to conduct
the business of the country, and prevent
a recurrence of such disastrous panics as
the one through which we are o passing
Mr.. Bryan has been an advocate of a
law guaranteeing deposits in state and
national banks since 1898. The legisla-
ture of Ohio has adopted a joint resolu-
ton inviting Mr.. Bryan to address its
members in joint session February Is,
1908, on the subject of Guaranteed Bank
Deposits.
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
a price as the foreigner can buy American
made goods abroad. He also insists
that our government should be by and
for the people as a whole, rather than by
for the trusts, and administered in the
interest of q few beneficiaries of the trust
system. He believes that national legis-
lation for the purpose of better regulation
and control of interstate commerce and
common carriers should supplement state
legislation, and not be a substitute for
state legislation.
Mr.. Bryan's paper, The Commoner,
reflects his opinions each week on aques-
tons of public importance and in its coli
umns may also be found his magazine
articles, public speeches, addresses and
lectures, which are referred to in the
daily press from day to day.
If you are interested in political ques-
tons, if you desire to keep in touch with
the progress of the campaign and to read
Mr. Bryan's campaign speeches, send
sixty cents to The Commoner, and the
paper will be sent to you each week until
the close of the next presidential CAM
paign.
Postofice money order, currency, or
stamps will be accepted. Only sixty
cents. Address The Commoner. Lincoln.
