was held for the benefit OF the church
on November 49, 1888, for which 1900
tickets were sold in advance. The
Church cost $1,000. The parsonage
erected in the early seventies, cost
$1,000 and $3.50 was raised for the

ing OF all within the field OF their in
iluence.

BY John snure, in Philadelphia Times

BY John Snure, in Philadelphia Times
The speeches he has made thus
far in New York have convinced
William ]. Bryan that the idea of gov
eminent guarantee of deposits is a
popular one and that the people want
to hear about it. He has been repeat
edly told that this subject IS the most
interesting for his audiences of any
that he discusses Mr. Bryan knows
something of the art of how to stage
his campaign oratory so as TO satisfy
best those who listen to ii. and he has
a clever way Of squirting on the desire
of his hearers to know more of his ar
gument for the government guarantee
doctrine.
Generally Mr.. Bryan discusses gov
eminent guarantee of deposits along
toward the close of his speech. He
has been through the tariff and
through the trusts and has handled
the campaign contribution question.
1t is growing well along in the after
noon and folks want to get home to
get something to eat. At least it is
about supper time for those that do
not dine IF time would permit" Mr.
Bryan will begin frequently, Il would
like to talk to you at length on the
subject of guarantee of deposits.
Whereupon all the enthusiasts in the
crowd lift up their voices in a loud
chorus of shouts and cry: go on; We
want to hear what you have to say
about it,
Stirs His Audiences.
Under such circumstances. unless 1t
is a car-end speech and the train is
moving on, Mr.. Bryan yields grace
fully and enters into a discussion OF
the guarantee issue. He finds that his
audiences give careful attention to
what he has to say on this theme, and
if they are not in accord with his ad
vocacy of the doctrine, then Mr.. Bry.

The Editor Writes on
a Personal Matter.

1t may not conform strictly with
newspaper ethics and many people
may possibly consider it undignified
for the editor TO discuss a personal
matter In these columns, but We are
going to do it nevertheless. In the
FIRST place. professional ethics" is
largely n question of personal opinion,
and in the second place. we never
cared to feel too dignihed anyway.
Now TO the subject: The editor
has removed the fence from around
his residence-or, more properly
speaking. perhaps, the editors wife
who really runs things about the place,
hired a man TO remove the fence while
the editor was out of town. The fence
should have been removed long ago,
but we maintained it simply in the
hope that. sooner or later, the streets
OF Pensacola would cease to be used
as cattle range We hope now That
that time has come and that no stray
animals will come out eur way.
If, however, there are any cattle
owners who still allow their stock to
run at large and get it's living from
the public streets and parks and un-

OF water a year, and some time it
self to grow this grass and these trees,
vines and ferns. The sunshine and
the rain was entirely free. We call
attention to these things simply for
the purpose of impressing the fact
upon those stock owners wac allow
their cattle to run at large in the city
that the improvements me ltioned do
not represent so very much money ar
ter all and that, even If their cattle
and hogs do destroy them. they can
all be renewed again in two or three
years time. Time of course doesn't
cost anything and it is always pleas
ure to wait and TO grow old at the
same time.
We hope nobody will be offended at
this purely personal discussion of our
personal affairs. We are discussing
them, not because the public at large
is likely to be interested, but simply
because we want to give those cattle
owners who take advantage of such
things, a prompt and fair notice that
our fence is no longer there. If there
We're no notice of the change it might
be three or four weeks before the fact
were discovered and the grazing will
not be nearly as good three weeks
hence as it is now.

to be overlooked in this campaign, is
that Mr.. Bryan is better known
man to may parts of the country
than he was twelve or eight years
ago. One observer who has been
travelling about a great deal in this
campaign says that the Bryan lecture
on the Prince Of Peace" has been i'll
no small way responsible for addinS
TO the list of the Democratic candi
dates friends. This lecture is one OF
Mr.. Bryan'5 masterpieces and has
been widely commented upon. 1t has a
deep religious vein running through
it and, if the observer in question be
correct, has convinced a great many
people that Bryan is not as black as
he was painted back in 1896 and 1900
and not as unsafe as his opponents
urged at that time and are now insist
ing.
in other words, the activity of the
man from the Platte country in going
TO and fro and up and down in the
land since 1900 and talking to his
countryraen on all possible occasions
would seem TO have been of value to
him apart from the money he has
earned from lecturing-
JoIiies the Farmers.
When Mr. Bryan talks to an audi
ence of farmers he tells them that he
signs his own occupation as that OF
journalist because he thinks he is
more of journalist than a farmer.
He gets them in good humor by tell
ing them that a man who works on
his farm and spends his money In
town is a farmer, and a man who
makes his money in town and spends
ii on his farm is an agriculturiSt.

of our State Educational Institutions
will take these Institutions forever out
of politics. 1t viii remove an issue
which has BEEN a disturbing and az
gravating one in. every session of the
Legislature for many years. 1t viii
place these institutions on a firm and
permanent basis 1t will permit Jhei"-

lines. 1t will remove the uncertainty
as to their future which has been q
most serious handicap in the past. 1t
will place within reach of every boy
and girl in Florida liberal educa
ton. 1t will enable US TO educate our
own public school teachers. 1t will
keep in Florida thousands of dollars
that are spent every year by those
who go TO other states for the educ1-
tional advantages that we have not
been able to furnish. It will encOu--
age inHmi grafton by Offering education
al advantages equal to those offered
elsewhere.
1t will enable US to enlarge and
make more effective our college and
university courses. 1t will enable us
to build better buildings. We can
take better care of our blind, deaf aad
dumb children. We can strengthen

1t will put our state abreast of our
neighboring states and in line with
the great northwestern states that
have made most liberal provision for
their state educational institutions
