Webster City Freeman: What has
become Of the fearless and patriotic
Mr.. Bryan whom we have read so
much about? He has been pictured
by his admirers as q man who would
shrink from no duty or responsibility
II opportunity were offered to help
the common people. But Mr.. Bryan
balks. Some of his ardent friends
out in Nebraska want Mr.. Bryan to
be candidate for United States sena-
tor. Mr.. Bryan is weighing the mat
ter carefully. He realizes that q
senator must take sides. when mere
candidate for Office may remain neutral
Then again, should he enter the race
for the senate and meet defeat. az
upon two former occasions. he would
lose prestige. Mr.. Bryan is asking
himself: Is the honor and the oppor-
tunity worth the price? This is not
the attitude Of the true patriot whose
heart beats warm for the dear people.
He does not consider self. ''Can be
of worth to my country in such 9
position?" is the question that would
determine the course of the real un.
selfish patriot. Mr.. Bryan hesitates.
He who hesitates is lost-sometimes.

RESTORE The CREATIONS.
Ida Grove Pioneer

l0o GIoVo flOn0er.
No doubt the modern idea Of en-
ploying some gifted speaker from
abroad to make the commencement
address for the graduating class does
away with great deal Of work and
worry on the part Of the faculty as
we'll as the pupil, but we are inclined
to believe the change WAS . grave
mistake. and, like most other modern
school fads, sacrificed needed training
and efficiency for something that can
be done with the minimum Of effort.
The end Of the senior year today leans
altogether too much toward fun and
frolic, and If men of brains are to be
hired to come in and make the grad
uating addresses for our boys and girls
why not carry the idea just q bit fur
ther and hire someone to take their
troublesome examinations for them.
The day was when the preparing
and delivering of the graduation ora
tion meant weeks and weeks Of study
and training. and it is useless for
anyone to attempt to argue that this
effort on the part Of the pupil was
not Of great value. The Pioneer for
one would like to see a return to
the old fashioned plan.

WEEKLY PAPERS AND GENERAL

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
Iraer Star Clipper and the Toledo
Democrat are engagedin adebate over
the scope Of the county weekly news
paper. The Toledo paper upbraids the
Traer paper for not giving what it
calls '.world news. - The Traer
paper defends itself after the follow
ing manner:
The Toledo Democrat says the Star
Clipper gives only county news mo
worlds news. Correct. But it gives
all the county news and that is exactly
why the people take it instead Of the
Democrat. Our Toledo brother should
not be told that nearly all the farmers
as we'll as the town people now take
daily papers The worlds news as
given in county paper is as stale as
q democratic platform. We gave the
worlds news for thirty years. Last
year we quit it and did not lose sub
scriber by dropping the ready prints
or ''patents. - More people told us
they were glad of it than complained.
We saved $500 year and put this in
increased county and neighborhood
news. It was no mistake. Our
growing list proves it.
Is Editor Taylor of Traer right?
Is it better for weekly papers to con-
fine themselves to local news, leaving
the field of general news to the daily
papers? There is much to be said in
favor of the policy adopted by the
Star Clipper which publishers of week.
ly papers will have to take into con-
sideration. The general or world
news in weekly paper must neces-
sarily be meager and old. Things that
happened week ago today are not
worth much nowadays. In nine tenths
of the homes Of Iowa, let it be hoped,
there ID now daily paper and daily
papers print all the world news that
ia readable. There is no reason for
rehasbing it in a weekly paper.
| But the best argument in favor of
the new policy is the fact that it is
used by the Traer Starr Clipper and
that that paper has scored great sue
cess with it. success which is still
unduplicated in the realm Of county
and weekly journalism, whether Of
this state or of any other state.
EEditorl-The Star Clippers policy
is the long since adopted by the Re
view and under which it has gained

Some Eloquent Responses.
Mrs. 3. q, Forter of MarysvlIle
made a response that was witty yet
filled with wisdom. She quoted
Judge Grosscup's recent edlct that
women cannot be theologians because
they have not the gift of analysis;
they cannot be lawyers, because they
have not the gift Of logic; they can
not be scientists, because they can
consider only one detail at a time;
they only occasionally succeed in bus
mess, and only in those branches of
medicine which exercise the nursing
instinct. However, she believed that
women have a place In the world and
that they are accomplishing much
that is worth while.
