BYRAN AND THE SALOON
Great Democrat Says Saloons are
Against Virtue and Morality

William J. Bryan recently de
fined his position on the liquor
question in the following unmis-
taxable language:
The saloon as rule is an al
lance with vice. 1t is constantly
used to debauch politics and to
prevent the intelligent considera-
ton of public questions. The
liquor interests interfere in all
matters that may even remotely
affect their interests. They made
themselves odiouins the last ses-
sion of the Nebraska legislature.
The Democrats had majority in
both branches for the first time in
the states history and the splen-
did record of the legislature has
but one blot on it, and that blot
was put there by the liquor inter-
ests. They controlled enough of
the senators to prevent the SUBJ
mission of the initiative aud refer
endum.
The Democratic party cannot
afford to act as the mouthpeice of
the liquor interests. 1t can have
nothing in common with the.ssei-
fish, mercenary and constituencies
crusade that the liquor interests
have organized against the home
and the state, against private vir-
ture and public morals.

FAvORS LIMITED OWNERSHIP
Says no Person Should Own rIore
Than 100 Acres of Land

Mr.. Editor Hill Billie says we
should tell the would-be law-mak-
ers what we want. | think we
should have law prohibiting any
one person, firm or corporation
owning more land than is needed
for him to live on. If be is a
farmer, $50 acres should be the
limit; if he is a mechanic and
makes his living by working at his
trade, he should be limited to 40
or so acres, and this should be the
limit for the merchant and all
other professional men.
How many of our want-to-be-
lawmakers favor a law of this
kind! think they should tell
the people what they do favor, be-
sides long session and drawing
their pay.
If law like this has to come
down from the general govern
ment, why not start it in Arkan-
sas2 You may call me a Socialist
for fayoring such law, but / be-
lieve it is just and right.

SAYS HE is SCARED OF IT
Would-be Lawmaker Says Hill
Billie Has Ratified Him

Mr.. EDITOR had made up my
mind to run for the legislature,
but have about decided not to run
as Hill Billie has demanded that
we tell our platform. You know
| don't want to tell lie, and | am
afraid to say that l will serve the
people for fear the railroads, cor
porations and trusts might offer
me some Doodle, and if | should
take it the people might not want
to vote for me any more, even IN
der the gag rule
You know if | was to tell lie,
and it was found out on me, the
old booger-man might get me. If
/ don't promise to do something
for the people they won't vote for
me, and | am afraid the legislature
won't extend the session, and then
I'd have to wait two years before
| could go back, and then the peo-
Pile might take a notion to send
somebody else next time. And if
| don't do something for the cor
porations and trusts | won't get
any Doodle money. And then |
heard that old Jim Brown wasn't
going to sign no pledge, and I've
just got so riled up over the whole
thing that / decided not to run for
the legislature nohow. When the
peoples shoulders get we'll maybe
I'll run for road overseer or school
director. ToBE SPILKENs.

Aaha. From the Old Hearth.

A quaint Swedish legend concerning
cure for Inconsistencies appears In
Selma Lagerlof's book 1.-THE Girl From
the Marsh Croft" translated by Velma
Swanston Howard. The tradition is to
the effect that If person suffering
from nostalgia took some ashes from
the hearth In his or her old home and
gtrewed them on the fire in the strange
place he or she would be rid Of the
homesickness-an easy remedy appar-
emily. but it had two serious draw
backs. The first was that after using
the remedy In the new home one would
never be content in any other place.
If one were to move from the home
stead to which one had borne the
ashes one would always long to get
back there again just as much as one
had longed to get away from there.
And the second drawback was that
one couldn't carry ashes along every
time one moved to a new place, be-
cause the remedy could be used once
only. After that it lost Its charm and
had no effect. So that, taken all in ali,
it was a rather dangerous experiment
to make.

at Is inexcusabIe FOR cramps to
cause the death Of good swimmer"
remarked an old and enthusiastic
swimmer.
"Any normal person can doat In the
water" he said. "A good swimmer
can learn more easily than others. and
he should learn it. There may be hui
man bodies that will be entirely sub
merged If unsupported. but | doubt It
and know that such bodies are rare
probably the bodies OF drowned

this Is or is not the explanation is not

with the air expelled as much as
possible by ordinary breathing and
with no swimming movement some
part OF the head will remain above the
water. If the experiment is to be pro-
longed It is more agreeable to throw
the head back and have the nose above
the water, but that Is a detail.
"When you are in the water you
should practice floating. 1t Is easier
to fioat In deep than in shallow water.
but until you have learned to swim
prudence demands that you remain
where you can stand with your head
above water. Walk out until the sur
face is near your shoulders. You can
hoat in less depth. but 1t Is more
difficult. Allow yourself to fall back
ward. Make no effort to prevent
sinking. Let your nose point to the
zenith Your head may go under wa
ter, but It will rise again. You can
take my word for 1t, knowing that II
you fall you can stand on your feet.
If you have followed instructions
you should float the first time. The
important thing to remember FIRST last
and all the time is: Hold your breath
all the time unless you know you will
take in air and not water.
"You who have not learned to float
may be thrown into the water. You
may have a few hours or few Sec
onds of warning. Use those few or
many seconds to get control of your
self. and there are two things you
should bring to the front In your
thoughts. Refrain from breathing ex-
cept when you know you will take in
air and not water. and II swimmer

GREAT

J1G1lA ~ " IL o. Ii
MILITARY FEAT Corsica, is
very proud Of the story Of a great
military feat performed there long
ago. It is told in Romantic Cor
sica," by Mr., George Renwick:
The French in 1853 had subju-
gated all the northern cape with
the exception Of the tower Of Nonza,
which for a considerable time sus-
tanned close seige. Attacking
parties were driven back by a fierce
fire, but at last the garrison agreed
to surrender if allowed to march
out with all the honors Of war.
This was conceded, and old Cap
tain Cassella appeared, staggering
under load Of muskets and PTS
tolls.
why is the garrison 50 long in
coming out?" asked the French
commander.
1T is here, sir, " replied cascella.
Il am the garrison.
