Thousands of American women
In our homes are daily sacrificing

In order to keep the home neat

Defeat again.
After 1900, comes another flop on Mr.. Bry-
ans part.
Before the Democratic convention of that
year convened we expected him to bolt the al
ready fixed Befmont-Parker convention and
carry the radicals with him.
He could have done it and regained the con-
hdence of every reformer in the country.
He even sulked and went to Yellowstone
Park with sore throat after Judge Parker was
nominated
But his throat soon healed, and he was
stumplng the country calling Parker "the Mo-
ses of Democracy"
After the election of 1904 Mr.. Bryan went
abroad and in London declared that he was
more radical than ever
Soon after this declaration of Mr.. Bryans
he returned to New York. and, in speech to
an immense throng in Madison Square Garden,
declared himself in favor of Government Own
ership of Railroads.

gained confidence in Mr.. yan,-forgiving him

for past sins, and hai1ing him as our Moses
of Democracy we expected to see him win
grand victory for us in 1908.
The day after this Madison Square Garden
speech, the conservative, Democratic papers be-
gan to roast Mr.. Bryan; soon after this roast
we heard very little from Mr. Bryan on Gov
eminent Ownership.
1t was not long before he had become con-
sentative to the extent of Government CON-
troll.
From one extent he went to another Eek
tent" until he reached the Denver-Bryan con-
vention.
There he was the Conservative personifed.
He was no longer radical.
He was CONSERVATIVE, backed by
Ryan, Belmont & Co., the same crowd that
backed Judge Parker in 1904
There we heard very little about anything
except what is considered conservative by the
Eastern Democrat.
And here let me repeat, the Eastern Demo
crat, today; he was twelve years ago; his
views are exactly the same.
But back to the beginning, the year 1896.

tonishing. Wonderful was the de-
scrlption he gave of the thirty days
spent in Washington after he com
mitted that diabolical crime. He did
not say how he effected his escape
from the United States But told of
his nomadic existence, with identity
sealed, through the land Of the Mon
tezumas, Africa, Turkey, Argentine
Republic, Peru, Brazil and in short
the whole Of South America, and 9TH
er notable parts Of the world. But
he lost his trump when he went to
China.
There he entered the Imperial SER
vice (incognito) under Ward, an
IrishAmerican, who for a while COM
manded the Emperor forces against
the rebels Of Tartar extraction.
Booth, as a militay man, rendered
efficient service which soon won the
Emperor good opinion.
Well, at this late day, it matters
not how, or what, but something
termed "an accident" caused Ward
to one day tell Booth to lose no time
IN getting out Of that country.
But he went no further than Shang-
hal, which then, as now, was smartly
settled with an intelligent class from
some of our representative nations.
And (still most carefully yelling his
Identify he assiduously cultivated the
acquaintance of large coterie of the
most cultivated people among the for
eign element. And there Booths in
herited love for the stage returned in
seemingly redoubled force.
And as time wore on, he, in con
junction with others, organized
dramatic club which soon formed one
Of the most attractive features in
Shanghai for the entertainment of
the foreign population there
Booth proved the inspiration for the
entire body, and was the controlling
spirit Of the organization-the in
slant he stepped upon the stage was
always the signal for storms of ap-
plause.
But once, while playing the part of
King Richard in Richard Ill, he
played one time too much for his
own peace.

When this reaches you, kind reader, if Mr..
Bryan has been defeated, reflect for moment.
In 1896 it was Mr.. Bryan's radical Grown Of
Thorns' and Gross of Gold" speech which
swept the convention off it's feet, nominated
Bryan, and adopted the POPULIST platform.
We all know how his agent, the late Senator
Jones, then chairman of the National Demo
cratic Executive Committee, tricked the Popu
list convention by promising that if the Popu-
lists would nominate Bryan for President. the
Democrats would withdraw their nominee for
V1ce-Presdent, and accept the Populist nomi-
nee for the same office.
You have read history Of this in former is
sues of this paper; how Mr.. Bryan and Senator
Jones refused to keep their pledge; how Mr..
Watson stumped Mr.. Bryan's home state Ne
braska, (by the way, Mr.. Bryan carried Ne
braska this time, the only time before or since)
how Mr.. Bryan repudiated the Populsts and
Mr.. Watson.
At that time, 1896, the Populists were 2ooo,-
900 strong.
They held the balance of power.
One hundred thousand votes scattered in
few different states would have elected Mr.,
Bryan and the Populists had three times that
many votes in those states, but they had been

Walking towards the vast audience
he said in his inimitable way:
-"There is no creature loves me,
And, if die, no soul will pity me:
Nay, wherefore should they? Since
that I myself
Find in myself no pity to myself. "
Soon the part reached was that
marking the final appearance of King
Richard, and where he and Richmond
clash arms.
And again the applause rang loud
and long. And again the peoples adj
miration was alternated in an exhi-
bition Of silence-a silence deep ands
death-like, in the depth Of which a
voice from the audience, in the most
piercing, startling, distinctive tones,
rang out the ominous name:
"Booth! Booth!"
The voice was that of late ar
rival-a gentleman who had heard
and knew Brutus Booth, and his two
sons, Edwin and John Wilkes.
The audience caught on and all was
excitement. The pellmell order among
the people-the feelings and recollec-
tons awakened by the utterance Of
his name, the name he realized was
branded in infamy and heralded over
the world-all together was no doubt
the cause of his becoming uncontrolla-
bly, excited.
The curtain was rapidly lowered
upon an unfinished play, and with a
living Richard behind the scene.
Next day Booth left China.
His movements seem to have been
mysterious. The last I heard of him
is that he was supposed to have been
sighted on a steamer along the coast
of Africa.
That was years ago.
But before I left the Palaos he
handed me token which he said his
brother Edwin would instantly recog-
nize.
The token was a gold medal, and
from the inscription thereon, I
learned it had been first presented to
Brutus Booth while at the summit of
his histrionic greatness, and at the
apex Of his fame.

SOLDIERS IN BATTLE.

A narrative Of the battle of Sol
ferino as told by a veteran survivor
to Robert Shackleton appears in Har-
per's. It is, word for word, chapter
of history as seen by man in the
ranks. Incidents which impressed
him are curious:
"We halted, and a Tyrolese lying
on the ground cried out: I am dying.
Give me to drink Whereat my COM
panion stopped to offer him a flask,
and as he stopped the Tyrolese struck
savagely at him with his bayonet, but
my companion jumped back, and it
missed him, and he said, you Tyro-
lese, you said you wanted drink be-
fore you died, and now you shall die
without the drink And he stuck his
bayonet through him as a boy would
stick a pin through fly.
"The fighting soon began again,
and it was very fierce. It was soon
that we came to know that we were
to capture little village and the hills
about the village. The village was
named San Maritime, and there we're
walled barns and gardens, and the
Austrians were very strong there.
1.-THE bursting Of the shells was
very bad. Sometimes all of us close
by would be thrown down and be COW
cred with mud and earth, but most of
US would jump up again, not wound

would not jump up again, because
they were wounded or dead.

we thought no more of death, but on

Governor Smith DisapprOves
Acts Of Legislature.
POLICEIANDFTREMENMUSTPAY
Municipalities Should Make Free Trans
POrtatiOn Of Employees Part of Consid-
Grafton for Franchises.

Atlanta, Ga.-The activity Of Gov
ernor Hoke Smiths veto pen is a sub
ject of considerable comment at the
state capitol. Governor Smith has
vetoed four bills sent him by the leg
islature, and his disapproval hangs
over several more, it is stated.
The school book bill was the first
, general bill to die under the govern
or's pen stroke.
The. appropriations to the agricul-
tural experiment stations at Griffin
and Waycross went next.
Then came the death knell for the
bill allowing firemen and policemen
to accept free rides from street rail-
ways.
The action of the governor in veto
ing the fireman-police pass bill Great
ed little surprise, as the impression
has been general that he would veto
the measure He has no decided OBJ
lection to the policemen and firemen
riding free on the street cars, but he
insists that the companies be made
to haul them free in return for priv
ileges they receive from the several
municipalities of the state. He is op-
RO9ON " LAO AACn dNCCpllLlS lT6S LEauS-
portation from the companies, wheth-
er it be courtesy to the city or a
courtesy to the men.
The veto also fell with fatal effect
on the local bill abolishing the city
court of GAINESVILLE.
The bill appropriating $4,000 each
to the experiment stations at Griffin
and Waycross was also vetoed by
Governor Smith. The governor stat
ed in connection with his veto that
he does not consider the institution
at Waycross branch experiment sta
ton, and reiterates his opinion, ex-
pressed in his inaugural address,
that the experiment station at Griffin
should be moved to the State College
of Agriculture at Athens.
It is doubtful if any governor of
Georgia during the past twenty-five
years has established such record
for killing bills as has Governor
Smith this year.
The governor has approved the
measure known as the money shark"
bill.
