Prices opened with little animation at

clique being removed and values left TO

slowly reeeded until the principal stocks

closing half hour. transactions were on a
scale so small that IL the entire days

hardly have been more than 10000

But suddenly the two or three brokers

appearance on the floor OF the stock ex-
change near the posts set apart for deal

Pacific stocks. Violent and extraordinary
churning al once began In these shares.
great blocks OF stock being tossed about
as II they were only hundred-share lots

within a short time marked up over a
point and closed al the high figures.
Dealings were small in nearly all other
stocks, and. although these stocks ad-
vanced under the lead OF Union Pacific
and Steel. they did so in the most hest
tating way. Buying for the account OF
commission houses was utterly lacking
and there was at no time the slightest
pretense that anything less than pool

Bryan'S Overwhelming Defeat inn
His Home State

ISN'T it about time for Southern Democrats
to realize that Mr.. Bryan is back number?
In the contest last week, only one county Of
Nebraska went with him. The defeat was
overwhelming and crushing. The truth of
the BUSINESS Island it should be apparent to
Mr.. Bryan's warmest admirers-he has not
the instinct for leadership He has no in
tuition as to the trend Of public sentimnet.
Lacking this elemental qualification, Mr..
Bryan's splendid oratorical gifts are wholly
insufficient to make him successful party
chieftain.
In campaign after campaign, he has made
the most fatal blunders in the selection Of
permanent issues. He either takes up
question too soon or too late, or holds on to
one after everybody else sees that it's dead
Perhaps his greatest defect is his failure
to comprehend the profound significance of
the color line. He and Henry Watterson
made such a desperate effort to get the negro
vote in the campaign of 19O8 that the Re
publicans were compelled to buy stay Of
negro detection by making all sorts of prom
lses to such negroes as Booker Washington,
DR.. Crum, and Johnson, of Atlanta Conse-
quently, we see Mr.. Taft giving out some of
the very best appointments to these negroes.
Henry Watterson and Mr.. Bryan are pri-
marily to blame for this-not Mr.. Taft A
convincing evidence of Mr.. Bryan's lack of
sympathy with the great white race in it's
deathless determination to preserve it's purity
and supremacy, is found in the fact that Mr.
Bryan educated his own sons and daughters
on plane of social equality with the blacks,
also, IN the fact that he gives yearly do
nation to the State University of Nebraska,
social equality institution.
There is another profound fact which Mr.
Bryan does not seem to have discovered and
that is, the American people have no liking
for preacher politician A man must be
the one or the other, and not combination
of the two. [ never knew a lawyer to be
success when he tried to be a preacher also
The people instinctively feel that as law
yer, he has to do things which preacher
ought not to do. It's the same way with a
politician. The more Of preacher he be-
comes, the less he is liked as political lead
er. When a sense of duty causes Mr.. Bryan
to become identified with the pulpit and the
Y. M. G. A. Hall, it is entirely to his credit
that he should obey its mandates. At the
same. time, the ratio of his loss in politics
will be in exact proportion to his gain of
prominence as preacher
