Thinks Bryan Right

The introduction of w. j. Bry
an of the resolution before the
Democratic National Convention
and its passage eliminating the
influence of Wall Street upon the
convention is the highest climax to
be obtained by any individual char
acter whose career has been crowded
with temptations, but through it all
the truth rises, sublime and high,
clean in character, honest in pur-
pose. The character of political
party as a nation is shown by the
character of men crowned as lead =
ers. The star of Bryan and the
Democracy is surely in the ascen-
dency, and may the vision of the
American people be clear to see it.
Wall Street interests were rep
resented at Chicago, and their

new. 1t was invented in 1908 by
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who
ran all four wheels over Joe Can
mons boom aid iattened out several
other worthy citizens who were
hugging the ground with one ear.
The first type of steam roller was a
crude affair, but the 1912 model
comes fully equipped, including a
pile-driver attachment guaranteed to
produce a committee on credentials
which will seat everybody who does
not harbor any insurgent microbes.
There are several forms of steam

effective is that constructed for the
use of the national committee.

some ripe mathematician, who sub
tracts a sufficient number of contest
ed delegates to make sure that the
voice of the people will be heard in
the roll call If everybody objects
to the grand total, he Is coAeiliated
with copy Of the campaign text
book and some timely remarks about
Abraham Lincoln and the full din
ner pail. This year there were two de-
termiaed and well fabricated steam
rollers in operation, each of which
had spikes in its shoes. When they
meet in convention assembled some
body Is going to be sorry that he
forsook the hazebrush and got out
where people could ventilate his
past life. If a candidate who has
been run down by a steam roller
regains his breath in time to cry
"fraud" in bright birthstone accents,
he can retire to another hall and
run on an independent ticket.
This is dangerous procedure, how.
ever, as the November elections are
liable to be purified by several first
class funerals. Howard L. Ram

Stop and Think

We hear so many people who are
always complaining about this
thing and that thing. They are
sometimes complaining 1t is too
wet, or it is too dry, but they never
stop to think bow much they have
to thank God who created these
things and who does all things well.
He has said in his divine word that
He Is the Christ, but it looks like
for the last few years, the people
have been trying to make cotton
heir king. Why, you may talk
about the Farmers Union diver
styling the crops. They are not
doing much in that direction, but
God is cuttingit short. So, let us
just stop andthlnk for a moment.
If He had been as forgetful of us in
the past as some of us have been
of Him, times might not have been
so good as they are at the present
time.
Why, what is the matter? We
are living in Just as good state as
there is in the Union. There Is
nothing that you plant in the
ground for man or beast to subsist
on, but what you can raise in the
State of Arkansas, then why should
we buy our living from some other
