Myatt Given Death Penalty.

Marlin, Tex-After being in retire
ment only twenty-nine minutes Mon
day the jury in the Ben B. Wyatt wife
murder case returned a verdict assess
ing the death penalty. The defendant
seemed totally undisturbed when the
clerk read the verdict. If it made any
impression upon his mind he failed to
demonstrate that fact. AS he has con-

sat with closed eyes, his head falling

fire escape in the rear of the building

floor of the city hall, had his offices
pretty well fitted by night yesterday.

will be turned over to doctors of the
city and county who will, when they
come across a suspicious looking
germ, capture and turn over to the
bacteriologist for examination.
DR.. Brink said yesterday that he
has found no germs out of the ordi-

partaken of a new dish, delightful to

Concerning
Mr.. BRYAN.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot refers to
Mr.. Bryan as Selfish marplot," dog
in the manger," and grumbles that he
opposes Democrats who are not to
his liking" etc. Mr.. Bryan has shown
less arrogance than his opponents.
His reference to foe Is ever on q
high plane, avoiding always PERSONAL
ties. His enemies are most lnconsis-
tent in their criticisms of him in that
they in erect deny him the privilege
Of free speech. while they show no
hesitancy in bouncing upon the Ne
braskan.
The anti-Bryanites can accomplish
no good for their party by the unseen
ly methods OF abusing him. Perhaps
If they would seek to magnify the
merits of some other man within the
party instead of attempting to tear
down Mr.. Bryan their course would be
more deserving of comm endation
Mr.. Bryan is not seeking another Dem
ocratic nomination, and we doubt If he
would accept another. However, he
still has control of the masses of De-
mocracy and his services in the battle
Of 1912 will be worth more to our
party than will any other mans.
Were Mr.. Bryan to close up like a
clam for the next two years and de-
cline to express himself on men and
measures he would be unworthy the
trust reposed in him by the great
masses of the voters in the party. He
Is a free American citizen and has the
same right to counsel the party of
which he Is a member as any man
in Il.
True, he has three times led a for
lorn hope, but he was the choice of
the party whose nominee he was. He
was nominated because he was regard
ed as the logical man. the man who
would lead us to victory. No man rep
resenting principle-spelled with a
big "P'-could have polled the vote
that Bryan did. He was defeated but
so was Bonaparte at Waterloo. No
man can say that Napoleon's defeat
was the fault OF the Bourbon.
We are inclined to look upon Mr..
Bryan as q blessing rather than a
handicap. II he must be sfelved let
It be done By developing some man
larger than he rather than attempting
to beifttie Bryan.
