Immediately after the last general
election Mr.. Bryan's utterances on the
possibility of his again being the
Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency were a trifie vague. But of late
they have become explicit enough for
everyone to know that he is desirous of
the honor. Inasmuch as supply and
demand regulate each other in all
things it is quite evident that Mr..
Bryan will be the next Democratic
presidential nominee for he absolutely
controls both the demand and the
supply in this regard.

Work has been started already to-
wards making the city parks more
attractive and beautiful during the
coming summer than they have ever
been before. This is an excellent un-
dertaking which should be helped
along by everyone. Nothing adds so
much to the desirability of a city as
a place to live in as fine parks and
Topeka is fortunate in being pro-
vided with many of them.

Within a few days now the epoch

SERMON ON GIVING.

How rare is generosity! OF all hu-
man graces it's found in smallest
quantity and in the fewest places. The
giver stops and speculates what good
his gift is serving. The hungry plead;
he hesitates, and asks. Are they de-
serving?' Or else a presentation speech
the donor would deliver. intended 9TH
er ears to reach and advertise the Civ
er. For shame! An act of charity pos
sesses only beauty when moved by
generosity and not by sense of duty.
And that suggests another thought:
