Bryan Wants Senators Elected
by the People.

Lincoln, Neb,, July Ii President
Taft will submit to congress an
amendment to the constitution pro-
viding for the election of senators by
direct vote So the states may vote on
it when they vote on the amendment
ratifying an income tax, William j.
Bryan will pledge him all the sup
port in his power.
Bryan issued an open letter to the
President, suggesting such an amend
ment and declaring he positively will
do everything possible to help pass it
and make Taft'S administration
memorable one. The letter follows:
'To President Taft: Now that the
states are going to vote on the ratfi-
cation of the amendment specifically
authorizing an income tax, why not
give them chance to vote an amend
ment providing for the election of
United States senators by popular
vote? In your speech of acceptance
you said that YOU We're positively in
clined to favor such a change in the
constitution. Would this not be an
opportune time to present the subject
to congress? The constitutional
amendments, one authorizing an in
come tax and the other providing for
the popular election of senator's
would make your administration
memorable, and pledge you what
ever assistance | can render in Secur-
ing the ratification of these amend
ments. With great respect am,
Yours truly,

1T would be hard to overstate the
wonderful change in my mother
since she began to use Electric Bit
tiers, writes Mrs. w. L. Gilpatrick,
of Danforth, Me. Although past 70
she seems really to be growing young
again. She suffered untold misery
from dyspepsia for 20 years. AT last
she could neither eat, drink nor
sleep. Doctors gave her up and all
remedies failed till Electric Bitters
worked such wonders for her health. "
They invigorate all vital organs, cure
liver and kidney troubles, induce
sleep, impart strength and appetite.

Training the Brute.
Houston Post.

Houston Post.
THERE'S great deal in the old say
ing that the way to mans heart is
through his stomach. If he isn't well
fed he is going to give trouble. Feed
the old brute well and let him smoke
in the house and he will be as tame
as the family horse, but be careless
about his feed and he is apt to swear
and cut up like balky mule. There
fore, il is wise for every girl to look
well to her kitchen education. 1t is
true that man is hooked in the parlor,
but it is the kitchen that enables you
to hold him.
A kitchen is to the home what the
engine-room is to power plant or a
locomotive to train. If things go
wrong in the engine-room, there's
the devil to pay. If the locomotive
is out of fix, the train must be switch
ed to the siding. If the kitchen is
not competently and efficiently. con-
Quoted, the old man will fly off at a
tangent and possibly swear where
the children can hear him. Moreover,
he is apt to find excuses to eat down
town where pretty girls with white,
fluffy fringed aprons, dimples, rib
bons and things do the hash-slinging.

While Constable Hall was in Butler
Monday delivering prisoner to
Sheriff Bullock, his father arrested a
man here who is supposed to have
stolen a team of horses from Charles
Parish, of the Everett neighborhood,
about two months ago. The man
was in that community for several
days before the team was stolen and
disappeared about the time the team
did. DR.. Hall arrested the man and
delivered him to his son, who took
him to Harrisonville on the O'Clock
train.

BRYAN AS A PREACHER

There are some who doubt Mr..
Bryan would make a good president,
but no one denies that he would
make great preacher. A masterful
orator and a thorough biblicist, he
would be a power in the pulpit. His
reply to Roosevelt's castigation of
Tolstoi reveals him at his best.
mo wonder" says Bryan, "Mr.
Roosevelt does not like TolStoi-they
represent opposite schools of thought.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the exponent of the
brute force idea. With his man is an
animal and must be ready to kill any
animal that opposes him plans. With
Tolstoi man is the spiritual agent of
God and is bound to observe spiritual
laws.
"Mr. Roosevelt thinks that man
would degenerate without an occas-
ional opportunity for blood letting;
Tolstoi believes that love is greater
than force and that man is ennobled
by accepting love as the controlling
principal of life. Naturally Mr..
Roosevelt thinks the world can be
scared into peace when ornaments
become great enough to make each
nation afraid to engage in war.
Tolstoi believes that the spirit that
leads nations to desire big navies will
lead them to use them without ex-
cuse, and he insists that a good ex-
ample will do more than a threat to
prevent war. ''This fundamental diff
ference between Roosevelt and Toll
stoi is not, however, new. When
Jesus visited a city Of Samaria and
the people refused to receive Him,
some of the disciples suggested that
fire should be called down from
heaven to avenge the insult, but the
Master rebuked them and said: Eye
know not what manner of spirit We
are of; for the Son of Man is not
come to destroy men, but to save
them" Suppose He had said; Eve
will thrash them until they under
stand who we are" How different
would have been the history of Chris
tianity! Compare if you will the
staggering, bullying, brutal doc
trine of Roosevelt with the golden
rule of Telstoi and the command
ment: Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as myself"
again Christ answered one who
would use force to defend Him by
saying, "They that draw the sword
shall perish by the sword
"Tolstoi has good authority for his
position-better than Roosevelt can
offer for a bullying, staggering
policy, Mr.. Roosevelt will hardly
charge all the followers of the Prince
of Peace with being feeble folk and
fanatic folk. Elk.

the league thereby bringing about
better conditions. Plans of the COM
mittee in charge are being brought to
definite form as rapidly as possible,
and on the second day of the conven-

The idea of forming an organization

made the appointment of a committee

a preliminary organization has been
in the hands of Messrs Thompson and
Beal
on the advice of Secretary Frank
Pierce. of Marshalltown. a meeting
between Mr.. Beal and Mr. Thompson
was arranged at Waterloo last April.
AT that time a constitution and by
laws We're drafted and made ready TO
present TO the assembled city clerks

league will hold its annual gathering.
The object of the organization Is to
stimulate a greater interest among
city clerks of the state as we'll as to be
able 10 meet in convention and discuss
such problems as they may have TO
deal with so as TO make the duties of
the office lighter as well as making a
more intelligent discharge of them
possible
The organization of city clerks will
meet annually hereafter at the same
time that the convention of the League
of Iowa Municipalities is in session
Fort Dodge will enjoy the distinction
of beng the first meeting place as
we'll as the city which first saw the
birth of this worthy organization.
