WESTON ON LONG JAUNT
Veteran Long Distance Walker Leaves
Los Angeles For New York With
Message of Greeting.
lHerald Special,

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. With a
message of greeting from the mayor
of Los Angeles to the mayor of New
York. Edward Payson Weston, the
veteran long-distance walker, this af-
ternoon starts from this city on a
walk across the continent to New
York, to be accomplished, according
to his schedule, in one hundred days.
The trip as mapped out calls for
walk of about $500 miles. He expects
to average forty-five miles day, but
this is a conservative estimate for
him, for in his previous long-distance
tours he has averaged over fifty miles
a day, and on some days has accom-
plished over ninety miles.
In order to make his tour literally a
walk from ocean to ocean, Weston pro-
ceeds today to Santa Monica, coast
suburb of Los Angeles, and will make
that point the actual starting place of
his trans-continental trip. Over a
large part of his journey he will fol-
low the tracks of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railroad. Arriving
at Chicago, he will proceed thence to
New York over the route with which
he has become thoroughly familiar on
his previous tours.
Weston's splendid physical condi-
ton leaves little doubt in the minds of
his friends that he will make an even
greater triumph on this journey than
he did of his trans-continental trip
last year, when in the face of many
obstacles he succeeded in walking
from New York to San Francisco in
one hundred and four days.
Following his usual custom, which
he has rigidly observed from his early
years, the veteran pedestrian will not
walk on Sundays. Adhering. to his
prescribed limit of one hundred walk
ing days, therefore, he will arrive at
the city hall in New York on the after
noon of May %, but he has secret am
billions of arriving slightly ahead of
time.
Weston will be seventy-two years
old next month. He has been recog-
nized factor in pedestrianism since
1861, in which year he walked from
Boston to Washington to witness the
Inauguration of President Lincoln. Six
years later he aroused deep interest |
throughout the country by walking
from Portland, Me-, to Chicago in
thirty days and in 1907, at the age of
seventy, he accomplished the same
task in even less time.
One of Weston's most remarkable
feats was in 1879, when he covered
me distance of $50 miles in sis. days days
On ms trans-continental trip last year
he left New York on March Is and ar
rived in San Francisco July Is.

ABOUT BRYAN.

One kind OF democrat would like to
see Mr.. Bryan eliminated from demo
cratic councils and his influence be-
come nil.
Mr.. Bryan is not likely to crafty
his democratic enemies by withdraw
ing himself from his partys councils
of war. He has announced repeatedly
that he expects to devote the remain
der of his life to politics. He is the
most influential man in his party. He
can lead millions of his fellow demo
Gratis TO the support of any man he
may choose, except somebody who has
sought to humiliate him. These mill
ions will not follow him when he en-.
deavors to lead them to support a
Parker. Their resentment OF sights
put upon Mr.. Bryan are deeper than
are his own. Bryan may forgive, but
they will not.
With Bryan the most influential fig.
.ure in his party, what are his enemies
going o do? They have a hard job
ahead. Bryan is the champion of the
common people and their spokesman
in convention. He is not a dictator.
He is not boss. He is the one prom
inent man in politics who has always
scorned TO build a political machine.
He apparently never considers such
a thing. His appeal is always to the
treason and conscience of his hearers.
If these methods are not sufficient, he
fails. Since running for the house in
1894 he has uniformly failed. But in
spite of all that, he has millions as
faithful to him as Mohammedans to
the Prophet.
What, then, are the democrats who
want to bury Bryan, going to do? How
can they get rid of him? The answer
IS, they can't. They must figure on
his being with them for a generation
or so, and always having a following
sufficient to defeat any of their ma.
chinations.
The reactionary democratic enemies
of Bryan are certainly in a bad way.
They might solve the difficulty with
satisfaction to the masses of the party
by going permanently to the stand-pat
element of the republican party. These
elements of the two great parties are
in full sympathy and have purposes
identical. The obvious thing for them
TO DO in the circumstances, is to get
together and stay there.-Darlington

CHRISTMAS is OVER.

Christmas has passed, with its joy
and its fun.
The North wind is blowing, the clouds
hide the sun.
The days dark and dreary-but why
should We mind;
If We look for the bright side, it surely
we'll find.
While some may be happy and some
may be sad,
Some may be good and some may be
bad
We're about like We were before
Christmastide.
The years touch us lightly as onward
they glide.
Then let us anew life's journey pursue.
A brave resolution will carry us
through.
If we only do right we have nothing
to fear
Here's wishing to all happy New
