suicidal course of my old friend, Joe
Bailey. It is national calamity to lose from
the ranks of the Progressves SO stalwart a
figure Not that he was great lawyer, or
constructive statesman, or profound student
for he was none of these. But he was gifted
with magnificent mind, was a debater of
high order, was magnetic and forceful; and
was therefore capable of rendering his coun-
try the most valuable service.
1t was enough to make the angels weep, to
see this strong man of the South herding
with the Standard Oil criminals, and entering
the lair of the Beast at 26 Broadway. When
y. S. Senator is paid nearly a quarter of
million dollars, within few weeks, by such
a concern as the Waters-Pierce Oil Co., every
sane man knows that political Influence is
what the Trust is after.
Then, those votes in the Senate! The vote
against free lumber, free iron ore, and free
coal The votes against the Farmers Free
List, and against Reel procity.
And, most amazing of all! The strenuous
championship of Lorimer. Bailey kneao why
the Lumber Trust and the Chicago packers
bought that seat for their henchman; yet, this
proud Southern Democrat fought for the
Chicago crook, as fercely as though Lorimer
had been indispensable to the cause of good
government.
In the Send Congress, Bailey made his de-
but. L can see him now, as he stood there,
towering in height, broad of shoulder, deep
of chest, a modest smile and ruddy glow on
his handsome, beardless young face. The
House gazed at him in pleased admiration.
His very appearance and expression won ev-
cry heart, before he had spoken word With
almost maiden coyness, he delivered his maid
Ell speech. 1t was brief, and it was warmly
applauded.
When he took his seat, there followed a hum
OF comment, all of it friendly and eulogistic.
/ remember that Rayner of Maryland stopped
near where [ was sitting and spoke to friend
about Bailey and his brief address, "He is
such magnificent looking fellow" exclaimed
the Maryland orator.
Dolllver was there that day; so was William
L. Wilson, and George D. Tillman, and w. G.
Oates, and many others who have crossed over
the river Bryan made his first speech at the
same session, as did the writer of these lines.
Had Bailey remained true to the principles
which were his, theaa he would in all proba-
bility have gone to the White House AS it
is, he is rich, but not happy. lie IS too old
TO lice DOZEN has recent record; and too yousag
TO haze scared conscience.
So close was Bailey to the Populists in Con-
gress, and so intense was his disgust at the de-
feat OF Free Silver, that he, one day, lntlmat-
ed to me that were it not for our railroad
plank he might join us.
In this connection, I will state that it was
Bailey who got me to promise not to give
away the name of the late Judge James E.
Cobb, of Alabama, in the "Where am at"
episode. kept my promise; but Judge Cobb
himself felt that the secret had leaked out;
and he, voluntarily, appeared before the Com
mittee. He had to own up as to asking "Mr.
Speaker" to tell him where he was "at," but

Nerve Strain

+ J. Doctors tell us that vast per

we Americans strain every nerve
in our body trying to make a sue
cess in life, and do not nourish and
iced our nervous system SO as to
make it equal to the strain; the
result IS we are broken down old
men and women before we are
forty years Of age. The nerve It's
sues must be fed and strengthened,
the stomach must be assisted in
doing the work of digesting the
food, the blood must be enriched
and circulation quickened, the BODY
and brain must be invigorated, so
that we can withstand the strain
and retain health, strength and
youth.
