WHAT BRYAN SAYS.
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK FOR THE
GOOD OF HIS COUNTRY.
His Latest Statement Shows he Sink,
Self For Principle.

Lincoln Neb., Nov. 5.-W. j.
Bryan today issued the following
statement: ''The election has
gone against us by a decided ma.
jority. The returns are not all ir
and it is impossible at the present
time to analyze them or say what
causes contributed most to the Re-
publican victory We made our
fight upon a platform which en-
bodied what we believed to be s,ooc
for the American people, but it is
for the people themselves to direct
what laws they desire and what
methods of government they pre-
fer. / have faith that the publici-
ty, which we asked for will yet
commend itself to the American
people that the election of senators
by the people will be secured; that
the iniquities of trusts will arouse
an opposition that will result in the
elimination of the peril of private
monopoly. I am confident that the
people; will see the necessity for the
labor legislation and the tariff re-
duction, which our platform de-
manded. I am confident, too, that
the educational work done in this
campaign will result in securing
greater protection to bank depOsi-
tors. The above are the most
prominent reforms for which we
labored, and I believe that these
reforms will yet come, together
with more effective regulation of
railroads and independence for the
Filipinos.
81 desire to commend the work
of our national committee. am
entirely satisfied with Mr.. Mack as
the chairman and with the mem
bers of the committee. | do not
see what they could have done more
than they did, and as for myself
put forth every effort in my power
to secure victory for our cause.
The nomination came from the
hands of the voters; / have obeyed
their command, and have led as
best could. Words will not ex-
press my gratitude for the devotion
which has been shown by millions
of Democrats during the past
twelve years. Neither am I able
to adequately express my apprecia-
tien for the kind words which have
been spoken since the election. If
| could regard the defeat as purely
a personal one, | would consider it
a blessing rather than a misfortune,
for l am relieved from the burdens
and responsibilities of an office that
is attractive only in proportion as
it gives an opportunity to render a
larger public service. But shall
serve as willingly in private ca
pacity as in a public one. God
does not require great things of
us; he only requires that we i'm
prove the opportunities that are
presented and ! shall be glad to
improve the opportunities for SER
vice presented by private life.
In this hour of national defeat
| find some consolation in the cor
dial support given by my neigh
bors, by the citizens of Lincoln and
by the people of the State of Ne
braska. With Democratic gov
ernor and a Democratic Legislature
we shall be able to put into prac-
tice so much of the Denver plat
form as relates to State legislation,
and | trust that our State will set
an example that will be an inf1u-
ence for good in the nation.

The Associated Press yesterday
morning states that a speech to the
Cincinnati Commercial Club by
Mr.. Taft pledging a rigid enforce
ment of the law against dishonest
business methods, within Federal
jurisdiction created a profound
sensation among the substantial
business men. 1t is IN order to
ask what did these substantial
business men expectg True it
was that Mr. Taft said very little
on this line during the canvass.
But to speak out after the election
when he was silent before. is bet
ter than to have given such pledge
before, and grown cold after.

Postmaster General Meyer, discuss
ing the new two-cent letter rate to
Great Britain, said that it would enor-
mously increase the postal business.
"The mail bags will fill quickly
when this goes into effect" said Mr..
Meyer. He smiled. IF such rush
of business had attended on the Nola
Chucl1y postoffice, the old Nola Chucky
\postmaster's ways would have escaped
notice.
Some years ago an old fellow was
appointed postmaster of the small vii
lage of Nola Chucky. A number Of
weeks passed and the Nola Chuckians
and their friends began to complain
about the mails. And no wonder. The
postmaster, 1t seemed, had sent out no
mail since his entrance into office.
IAN inspector, investigating the mat
ter pointed to the hundred or more
dusty letters that the postmaster had
kept by him, and said sternly:

these go?

A young broker in Boston, while Wis

OF young women graduates whose con

cussion of the development of the
English novel.
The dealer in stocks and bonds
speedily found himself "out of it.
Presently, during lull, one young
woman asked him:
What do you think of Fielding, Mr..
Brown"
"Oh, fielding is important. of course,
quickly responded the broker, but
it isn't worth much unless you've got
good pitchers and men who can hit
the ball. "-Harper's Weekly.

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT,

Buying paint used to be like tho
proverbial buying of pig in
POKE. Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock, etc, predominated were
marked and sold as Pure White
Lead the deception not being ap-
parent unit! the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced. but we have learned to
expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg-
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers, set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as a guaranty of
purity, on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and genuineness of White Lead may
be determined, and furnished blow
pipe free to every one who would
write them for it. This action was in
itself a guaranty of the purity of Ma
tional Lead Company's White Lead
AS the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer today has only him
self to blame if he is defrauded. For

breath, could not sleep, etc.
my appetite was ravenous, but l
felt starved all the time. I had plenty
of food but 1t did not nourish me
because of intestinal Indigestion. Med
ical treatment did not seem to help,
l got discouraged, stopped medicine
and did not care much whether l lived
or died.
"One day a friend asked me why I
didn't try Grape-Nuts. stop drinking
coffee, and use Postum. I had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friends 1 began to use both and soon
became very fond Of them.
ut wasn't long before I got some
strength, felt decided change In my
system, hope sprang up in my heart
and slowly but surely l got better. l

The question of winter forage and

Carleton r.. Ball, Of the Bureau Of
Plant Industry, was sent by the De-
partment Of Agriculture early in the
past veal to make an Investigation IN
several Of the Gulf States. In his re
port Mr.. Ball says, amongst other
things: THE production of Southern
hay has been q question long under
discussion. The amount produced and
the yield per acre have both increased
steadily and encouragingly during the
last few years. On every hand it is
admitted that it is both possible and
necessary to raise all that is needed
for home consumption. Alfalfa, Ber-
muda grass, johnson grass, crab grass
and cowpeas furnish an abundance Of
hay Of the very best quality. This hay
can be produced much more cheaply
than an equal quality can be shipped
in from Northern and Western States.
with better transportation facilities
and an increasing demand, the produc-
ton will become more and more profit
able. At the same time, with hay
raised on the home plantations, and
hence cheaply and readily available,
larger quantities are being used II
